JDhe cholera prevails in Birmingham
10 :Ii2 alarming extent, and the people
are lteeing in all directions.
We understand that it is rumUred il
the surr,1un ling counties that there hav,
been severai fatal cases of cholera il
Gadsdeu. We are proud to annOunc'
that all such reports are erroneous
There has not bee. n a single case Of chOl
era IN Gadsden yet, and there has no
been a death here frC "a any cause since
The fourteenth of June last. The healtl
of Gadsden was never better at this sea
son of the wear, and if our citizens viii
he prudent in their diet and use lime
freely about their premises, We hardly
think we viii be visited with the plague,

Farmers are very busy now, and are
lending every energy 10 make ali the
Weld Of cotton possible from the land
which was not abandoned by resson OF
th,s heavy rains and grass. They are
making fine Roadway, and if the worms
do net come will make a tOlerable crop
uH the land that was kept for cultiva-
tion. The warm, dry weather is now
doing an immense amount Of good, and
we hope the dreaded worm will give US
Ehe 20 by. Everything just now wears
\ more cheerful outlook than a few
weeks ago, when il seemed that neither
corn nor cotton could be made.-MOHt-

Reports have reached US from all
parts of the county, and are very con-
fiicting. From Waterloo to the State
line both corn and cotton are good. The
same news We hear from the neighbor-
moods Of Suits and Lexington. ''BUt,"
said to US, Monday, an intelligent gen.
tleman, who resides near town, ''if il
does not rain in ten days corn and cot
ton will not do well" Said another,
''There is hardly a good crop in the
county. From everything We have as
certained, we conclude that the harvest
depends upon this month. If two or
three 2, sOd rains fail we may anticipate
. good crop; if drouth burn the earth
aud vegetation, We shall expect a very
poor one.-Fi9reHce TuHes-JOUnaL
I herewith submit what ! conceive to
be a correct crop f,cUOTt fnOm Pike and
Coffee. The rain OF last month serious
ly threatened the destruction OF the en-
tire cotton crop, but the last few days
have been very favorable 10 their clean
ing, and most nobly and efficiently has
the opportunity been improved. The
worms have put in their appearance in
several localities very much TO tie
alarm Of our people. They are strongly
expected, and with more destruction
ghan ever before known. Indeed have
heard experienced planters predict that
none but the more advanced bOlls will
he able to mature. Corn is needing rain
at this time. One more good season
will make a good crop, and we are

not fooled by appearances. l might
have mentioned that a few bottom
pieces have been abandoned, but through
this section they are exceptional, and

The heavy rain and wind-storm
which prevailed for short while yester-
day evening did considerable damage in
a small way. The wind, at about half
fast five O'Clock, suddenly sprang up
rom the northward aud eastward, driv-
mo the dust through the streets in blind
me clouds. aud causing all to make rap
ia5v for shelter. A slight rain, which
s11n followed, laid the dust, and then

lust erected over the windows Of the
eustOmhouse, were wrenched from their
stout iron fastenings, the rods being badly
tent. A tree in front of the Southern
bank was prostrated, and another on

streets, carrying away fence and fallicg

were blogrn down in different portions
Of the city. The storm soon spent its
fury, and thea came the rain and light- |
