. JULY 20, 1873.
Editors of The Dispatch: We have had
very extensive drought through this sec
ton Of country for the past two months.
1t seems almost unreasonable that our crops
should have stood such exceeding dry wea-
Their so long. Last Sunday morning all our
horror-stricken future was put to an end.
Our parched earth was graciously visited by
glorious kiss OF heavenly showers, which
seemed to put new life in all our farmers
and their crops. A few days longer and
there would have been no possible chance
for growing crops. Corn was fast fading
under the pressure Of mondays sun. To
bacco was also greatly giving way. There IS
scarcely third OF crop OF tobacco through
this vicinity. visited river plantation
last evening, and there is nothing but pros
perity in the corn line. [ never saw such
corn in my life. 1t had a dark green color,
and very high. Did not show the least sign
OF suffering. think we will make bread
enough, after all. The prospect for rain is
very good yet. I hope it visited all parts OF
the country roundabout. Wheat crops are
not so good as anticipated. HALIFAX.

section are down in the mouth considerably
about the present calamity and the gloomy
prospect for the future yield. The land In
this part OF the county is very dry, and the
crops are suffering to great extent. We
haven't had, l don't think, enough rain to
wet the ground to exceed two inches in
many places, If any, since about the 22d OF
May, which will number siyty-fye days;
but am proud to say, as sit. at my escri-
toire writing, can glance my eyes through
the near panes and behold in the aerial re-
gions the watery. looking clouds that seem
to be in great haste to gather over our heads
TO discharge its heavy load. There have
been frequent meetings Of fasting and
PRAYER in different localities for rain. l
have been informed that rain has followed

Not mailing the above rs [ intended, IT
has gwen me chance to say another word
of encouragement. Since the above has

It seems that the feeble plants made an

"See here, Mr.. Cincinnati Commercial,
General Joe Johnston called upon us yester-
day and informed us that the report OF an
interview with him which we bad copied
from you was can invention from begin

got to say for yourself - Richmond Dis
patch.
Well, we think the General is forgetful.
We presume our young man must have seen
him and talked with him; and perhaps the
General has not as good averbal memory
rs reporter. Still, it is contrary to instruc-
lions to interview a man without his know
ledge and consent. 1t is our impression that
the explanation OF this matter will be found
in the inexperience of General Johnston as
a politician. We forgive him, however,
