Effects OF the Downpour on Cotton

and Other Crops.
SANDERsvILLE, Ga, Aug. 30.-The long
continued and unusual spell of wet weather
is causing immenae damage to the cotton
crop OF Washington county. Wesley Ste
phens brought in II few stalks yesterday
which were gathered at random from his
fields, and from every boil that had opened,
and also those which had Just begun to
open, sprouts from the seed could be seen
protrudiGg an inch. Mr.. Stephens has an
eight horse farm, and he reports that the
cotton now open would make eight
or ten bales, and tat preparing to
OPEN would make about the same
number, but it has all been ruined by
the rains and is utterly worthless. He has
already lost two bales to the mule. and IL
there is not quick change In the weather
much more OF the crop will be in the same
condition. II Is impossible to gin the cotton
with the seed sprouting from it; and even
II IT could be done, the fibre would DO Of no
value Hence. the only way to do il to
allow il 10 remain in the fields and rot.
The OUTLOOK is indeed gloomy, and the
disaster to the crop, which two weeks ago
was so promising, is dishearteninR. Is the
crops of all tho farmers have pesn injured
similarly the production will be materially

nights have created rust TO an alarming ex-
tent in all old cotton on uplands, destroying
the second or top crop entirely. and the
