THE CROPS, ETC.

The Vienna (Lincoln parish) Sentinel, of the
3lst ult, says: A few weeks ago the pros
pect for all crops in this parish was unu ual-
ly fiatteripg. Now, owing to the protracted
drought in many places, the corn will not
make more than half an average yield, and
cotton is seriously injured; but there are
portions of the parish where rain has been
plentiful, and the crops still promise we'll
The Plaquemines Sentinel, Of the 3lst ult,
says: The crops remain in the same favora-
bic condition as in our last report, while some
planters announce their intention to com.
mence cutting rice Immediately. We have
had several showers during the week, and
the general opinion is that q spell of dry
weather now is all that is required to mature
| cane, rice and corn.
The Feliciana (St Francisville) Ledqer, of
the 3lst ult., says: "Cotton is opening every
where. and in few days q few bales of the
new feecy steeple may be expected in our
villages. The crop will be much larger one
than last year.
"The high stage of the rise at this season
of the year makes the water run through the
Ashton crevasse and Grand Levee"
The Rayville (Rchland) Beacon, of the 3lst
ult., says: "The crop prospect is still prom
Using. Next month will decide whether we
are to have good cotton crop or not. A
drouth would cut it short. Corn is already
made, and the crop is good. Enough will
probably be made in this parish to supply the
home demand. We hope so. at least
The Winnsborough tFlanklin) Sun, of the
31st ult, says: In the last week open cotton
bolls have become quite plentiful throughout
our parish.
The present drouth has lasted so long that
even the grass is all dying out Potato vines
are all wilted, and if no rain comes pretty
soon we can very easily count the number We
make.
The st. Charles Herald of the 3lst ult.
says: St Charles parish has had the honor Of
raising the first barrel of rice this season. To
st. Landry belongs the credit Of furnishing
the first bale of cotton. What parish will
produce the first hogshead of sugar.
The Columbia (CaldwelD Herald, of the
3lst ult, says: Weather dry, hot and dusty,
with pleasant breezes most of the time.
Crops in the dry streaks are literally parched
up, and will, in places, make absolutely
nothing. Showers are still visiting those
places where it has been seasonable all the
year, and the crops there are superb.

Of German indulgence at home. The amount
