JoNEsvILLE, June 2lst.-Just nov We are
having too much rain for the good Of farm
ers. Last Sunday night the rains in this
community was very heavy in places, and
washed the lands considerably. The Forest
and Pacolet rivers have boon ont on the
bottoms again. The bottoms had just been
planted over, the corn having been destroy
ed By the as4 Ma.sr aR0as Mrf tN9 sSHf
ground from the present overflow. If this
IS the case will be rather late to plsnt
again, so the principal corn crop on these
streams, at least will more than likely be a
failure this year, which will be very dis
couraging TO owners Of bottom lands. The
crops generally are growing very fast, and
are in good condition, but fair weather with
tho ground stirred often, would bo mnch
better than so much rain. and then the wheat
and oat crops are being harvested and tho
rainy cloudy weather is very damaging to
these crops.

School here are very much exercised this

Tho true inwardness of the opposition to
MIR, Cleveland in this State is very well
understood throu gh out the country, and
fortunately the delegates who misreprssent
South Carolina Of Chicago wil not be
charged to the account of the true Democ-
racy Of this State. The Brooklyn Eagle says:
"Col. W. r. Davies letter to Ex.Presdent
Cleveland, published in the Ch rrlcston News
and Courier, is but q reaffirmation of the
fscta reported by q representative Of tho
Eagle, who recently Travelled through South
Carolina snd took pains to inform himself
as to the sentiment Of the Democrat masses
tbers. He everywhere found that ma.
jority Of those with whom he conversed
were favorable to Mr.. Clsveland's nomina-
tion. They explained the hostile attitude
of the Columbia Convention by saying that i.
reflected simply the feelings of the political
managers, who denounced Clsvel nd because
they knew if he were elected President they
could not uss him. The Hill contingent At
