the counterfeit is very fine, and the imitation
Of fibre paper on which the note is counter
feited is fair. The counterfeited fibre is in
more regular lines than the genuine, and the
back of the counterfeit is shade lighter than
the genuine notes.
The greatest defect in the counterfeit, how:
ever is the absence of scroll work over and
under the words, "series 1876" in the upper
left hand corner of the face of the note. The
omission of this scroll work was undoubtedly
intentional ON the part of the counterfeitors.
As soon as the counterfeit is extensively ad-
vertised and the points of difference between
it and the genuine notes carefully noted and
made public, the couhterfeitors will change
the plate so as to remedy all the published
defects, and send forth new notes.
Condition Of the Cotton Crop.
-- The following is the condition of the
cotton crop in five southern States, as report
ed under date of last Saturday:
SOUTH CARoLINA.-The report of the
Charleston exchange for July is based on SO
replies from 29 counties. The weather for
July, with few exceptions, is reported very
hot and dry until the 10th and 25th, but in
the rest of the month there was an abundance
of rain. No land was abandoned except a
triAing amount in one county. The weather
for the season to the 31st ultimo, is reported
more favorable by %, less favorable by 81,
and about the same by 9. The stands are,
with few exceptions, reported very good
better than last year; the plant is blooming,
forming and boiling very we'll, several report
ing that they never saw it SO we'll fruited at
the same date. The plant, owing to excessive
drought, is reported quite small i'll many
counties, and the general fear is that if heavy
rains continue much damage may result from
shedding and the plant going too much to
weed. Slight shedding is reported from sew.
eral counties and rust from four counties.
The present prospects are promising, but
about ten days later than last year.
NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGrNIA.-From
% replies from IL counties in North Carolina
and Virginia, the following report is compiled
The weather up to July Goth was very hot
and dry, but since then numerous showers
have occurred. No lands have been aban
doned since planted. Nine replies report the
weather about the same as last year. The
stands are generally reported very good and
the plant forming, blooming and boiling well
but smaller than last year. The crop in gen
eral compares favorably with last year, and
in many cases is better. Excessive drought in
June and July caused the plant to be small.
GEoRe1A-The following is the report Of
the cotton crop for July of the exchange Of
Georgia: Seventy eight replies from 81 coun
ties the dry spell which did some injury tc
the plant in June, has been relieved by g
general rain which, although excessive in 9
few sections, has to great extent repaired
the damage done by the drought. As com
pared with last year the weather has not been
quite so good and the crop less forward, buI
the stands are excellent and the plant vigo
rous in growth and blooming and fruiting
we'll. Under these circumstances the pros
pect for the season was scarcely SO promising
early in the month as last, but has materially
improved and is now very satisfactory. Com
plant of caterpillars ia exceptional; they
seem to be doing little harm.

as dry in the early part of July, but rainy in
the latter part, in all counties except Chicka
saw, Clay, Okelibbeha and Prentiss, which re
port hot and dry weather for the whole month
There has been little or no land abandoned
since planting. The weather, compared with
the corresponding period last year, has beer
more favorable in 9 counties. equally as ia
vorable in counties, and less favorable in
counties. The stands are generally good
and compare favorably with those of the same
time last year. Plants are forming, blooming
and boiling very we'll. The present condition
of the crop is good, and about the same tt
better than last year, but it is little late
Worms have appeared in counties-Alcorn
Clay, Newton and Noxubee-but thus fal
have done no damage. There has been toe
much rain, and there are complaints of some
rust, shedding and small growth.
