The Coming Boat-Race.

London advices of the tenth of May
state that the crew Of the London Row
ing Club is at last definitely settled, and
though the fourth man is to be taken
from different organization, and is not
a member of the club, the Aatlantas do
not murmur. John B. Close, from Cam
bridge, Connecticut, will occupy the
seat. When this match was first made
the Londoners considered it a huge joke,
and thought that any crew would be
good enough to compete with such little
fellows, but since they have enjoyed the
privilege of ocular observation they
have learned to appreciate the American

sARDIs, Miss, May p, 1872.
EDITORS APPEAL-YOa express the
desire in your valuable paper that
planters throughout the country give in
formation as to crop prospects. In com
pliance with your wish, furnish you
such information, so far as my observa-
tion extends, which is over large pOr-
ton Of Panola county. PanoIa is known
TO be one OF the best upland counties
in the State. The prospects are by no
means cheering. Indeed, / have never.
in an experience Of thirty years, seen
them more gloomy. On the eighth Of
April we had a tremendous fall OF rain.
which greatly retarded planting. Since
that time we have had scarcely anv
rain. Cotton being planted mostly
with planters which put the seed in
very shallow, but few have succeeded
in getting anything like a stand. 1t is
now near the last Of May, and do not
think Pamela will average a stand on
over half the ground planted. Some
are planting over. ] have Just finished
neplanting about one-third Of my crop.
Having planted most of mine early, l
That which came up early is looking
very well. That which has not come
up. never can until we have rain. For
several days we have had high, drying
winds, with no visible appearance OF
rain. Farmers who have resided here
several years think this win turn out as
in 1855. OF the correctness of their
opinion, am not able to say. Being a
strong Predestinarian, take hopeful
view as to the final results. As TO the
sJIIantity planted, think il win not
vary much from last year. Corn is
more promising. My crop is, / think,
fbe best have had in five years. Upon
the whole. a majority Of our farmers are
very much discouraged at the prospects.
The freedmen are doing about as hereto
fore. Some apprehend difficulties as
