CROPS.

The Clinton Patriot Democrat, of the 18th
inst, says:
Although cotton has been growing rapidly
during the past few days, yet much has rot
ted from the excessive rains. The rust, also,
has done considerable damage, and many
farmers assert one-half their crop has been
destroyed. The hollis are, however, rapidly
opening. and cotton picking has become gen.
eral. We still place the damage to the crop
at thirty per cent.
The Winnsbofough (Franklin) S,u, of the
18th inst, says:
Since our last notice under this heading
the weather has been delightful; in fact every
thing that could be desired to suit the season.
Cotton is opening very FAST and picking is
progressing rapidly, although, as yet, there
has been no new cotton brought in to market
from our parish and it is not probable that
any of our planters will stop to gin as long as
the weather continues so favorable for gather
ing. From present indications it seems that
the entire crop will soon be picked out, for
old cotton has ceased to make and but little
remains to open; however the yield will by
no means be scant. Prospects for low prices
In this great staple seems to be the only de-
pressing influence operating against labor at
present.
The st. Francisville West Feliciana) Led
ger, of the 18th inst, says:
Cotton is opening very fast everywhere, and
consequently picking is very brisk. We have
no change to record in its condition. The
sun has been intensely hot during the week,
the nights unusually so. We still adhere to
our first assertion-the prospects for good
average crop are as good as at first. Business
is revivlng, and our merchants are stirring
about.
The Attakapas (St Mary's) Register of the
18th inst, says:
The cane crop in this parish is very short
but very thick, and with good weather like
this week has been, promises large yield.
The crops on j. B. Lyons's Point Pleasant
place and Walkers ROCHELLE place are very
fne the best we have seen this year. Both OF
these places are on the east side of Bayou
Teche, where the land is new and very rich
We hear that the crops on Bayou Sale and
Cypremont are very ine-much better than on
the Teche.
With the best crops we have had for years,
and very healthy summer, our people have
much to be thankful for

The CedarS of Lebanon,
From the Day Of Days.]


The cedHs of Lebanon, once the glory Of
the earth, have become like a history of the
past. Time was when their widespread
branches, each forming a green plateau, one
above the other, fourished in all their luxuri-
nee and beauty on the far-famed mountain
of Lebanon. That was the time when the
monarch of Tyre-a city then the queen OF
nations-sent thousands of his workmen to
fell cedars for the construction of the temple
of Jerusalem. Those who would view the
cedars of Lebanon now must be somewhat
affected by the fewness of their number, and
their decay and desolation. A little remnant
is left, and the traveller gazes upon them with
a feeling that has in it a touch of sadness All
through the middle ages visit to the cedars
of Lebanon was regarded by many persons in
the light of pilgrimage.
Some of the trees were thought to have been
planted by King Solomon himself, and were
looked upon as sacred relics. Indeed, the
visitors took away SO many pieces of wood
from the bark, of which to make crosses and
other articles, that it was feared the trees
would be destroyed. The once magnificent
grove is but speck On the mountain side.
Many persons have taken it in the distance
for wood of fir-trees; but on approaching
nearer and taking closer view, the trees re-
sumo somewhat Of their ancient majesty. The
space they cover is not more than half a mile;
but once amidst them, the beautiful fan-like
branches overhead, the exquisite green of the
younger trees, and the colossal size of the
older ones, fill the mind with interest and ad-
miration. The trees are fast disappearing
from the face of the earth. Each succeeding
traveller finds them lower in number than his
predecessor. There are now but seven of the
cedars remaining, which, from their age and
experience, indicate that they had an exist
ence in Bible days.
