The regular army worm, we are relia-
do informed, has made its appearance
few miles west of Ripley. Should the
weather continue dzy, the probability is
that they may seriously injnre the late
corn If not cotton crop.-Ripley Adver-
tiser.
Fires are very comfortable mornings
and evenings. Our farmers friends in>
form US that the cool nights and cool
mornings and dry north winds prevailing
throughout the day are operating to ma
terially iDjure cotton prospects, and they
are, in consequence, not SO sanguine AS
ten days ago.-Crystal Springs Comet.
Since our last crop report there. has
been little if any change. The weather
still contcnues dry, and warmer weather
prevails both night ard day, with less ap-
prehension from worms. Late corn and
cotton are suffering from drought. The
former is dependent for its outcome on
an early rain. More advanced corn on
old lands has already been abandoned.
A continuance ofthe present weather for
short time succeeded by a rain will
have tendency on young cotton to shed
its fruit and blooms Planters working
new lands, and well advanced, woulo pre-
fer tht present weather extended

A gentleman who has within the past
few days travelled over portions Of Ad-
ans, Claiborne, and Copiah counties,
says that nearly everywhere he has OBJ
served that the cotton is standing greats

up, and what with the north winds lately
prevailing, they look any way but health

"As to probabilities" says the New
Orleans Picayune, mo one can speak at
his time with any confidence, and nam
ing OF the number of bales for the crop
is mere guessing. The crop may be
large or small, as the weather of the i'm
mediate future shall determine, to say
nothing of the character of the picking
season. Owing to the backwardness Of
the plant, due to the wet and cold spring,
it is far more subject to vicissitudes in
August than usual. Last year that
month entirely obliterated all prospects
of anything like good crop. It is true
that July commenced the devastation,
but it was consummated mainly in Aus
gust, Last year was likewise character
lied by cold spring, aud the plants
we're not of average growth. This year
we go into August in better trim and
much larger possibilities. A fair crop
is certainly needed to revive business in
the south, but we doubt much whether
a very large crop at this juncture would
prove an advantage Trade prospects in
goods are not assuring, and the weight OF
a large surplus OF a raw material to add
to stocks at close of season would be very
depressing. The crop has been put in
and cultivated at minimum cost, and
a larger margin of profit than usual will
therefore remain at average prices."-

Onlv one of the reg ular aparo-

Only one of the regular ap9ro- priation bills-the Military Aca- demy-has passed both houses of Congress; and only two others the Naval and the POstoffice- have passed the House. The h. dian and the pension bills have been reported to the House, and may be taken up any day. But neither the Sundry Civil, the Army, nor the Legislative, exe- cutive, and Judicial Appropria- tion bill has yet left the hands of the Appropriation Committee. All three of these are very lm- portant measures, and they are usually-eveu in a "long" session -Out of the House before thls stage of the session. The Senate has not yet considered any appro- priatien save that for the Military Acadamy; and it is not likely that either of those now in the
 hands of the Senate Committee on appropriations can be reported during the present week. The mere statement of this unprece- dented neglect of the public busl- ness by the House carries it's own criticism and condemnation with it.-TimeS.
