SOUTH CAROLINA.


From the Charleston Courier, June IL


For the past three four days we have been blessed
with frequent and copous showers OF rain, which was
much needed both in the city and country In the city
allay the clouds OF which would arise with every
little puff Of wind much to the annoyance OF pedestrians
ss wen = 70 wash on the srss thereby h sa
renoe Of any epidemcal disease In the country was
still needed to stimulate the growing crops which
have had the much desired rain II the farmers will
but do their work, which is to improve every moment
we can look out for very fair cereal crop.


NORTH CAROLINA.


From the Raleigh Progress May 30l


We glad to learn from persons nom different parts
OF the State that the crop prospects fair and we have
no doubt II those of people who are destitute can
get assistance from the government until the present
crop matured, shall then be able to take care OF
ourselves The soldiers have returned home and gone
to work. large numbers OF the negroes the country
at work, and many Of the white women and children
enough the present 10 put them beyond the reach
OF want for the next


The wheat told is promising in many sections,
and number Of counties will, from present appear
ances, make surplus, while there but few in which
considerable will not be raised And this will be avail.
for the wheat will soon be ready for the reaper and
We shall have new -four in July.


And then the corn ia promising or course there IL
but small crop In the ground for the war lasted little
too long to permit the people generally to plant the
usual quantity and then the presence OF the armies in
large portions Of the State prevented agricultural opera
tions; but what was planted Is doing well and good
deal Of will be made The people doing all they
for themselves and hope the will not
withdraw its helping hand until something from the
growing crop can be realized and made effective Help
US until we can help ourselves and We shall not be lack
ing in gratitude The fact that persons who were
able to subsst themselves have drawn rations that
were only intended for the destitute, no doubt
rendered some action necessary and hence the order
Of June but there will still be some, we fear many,
who must have assistance starve and do trust that
;S some arrangement will es made BY the agents % Of
something from the soil with which 10 sustain life Much
the larger portion OF people would rather labor for
too proud To mako our wants known and accept assist
ance when actually IN need Of it,


From the Raleigh Progress Nay 81


We glad to hear that wheat s looking well and bids
fair for large yield The next few weeks, however,
will be the critical period for it, there is always moro
Or less danger OF scao and rust at this stage OF its owth
usual In sections know this Ia the case as all
seed wheat was exempt from being tithed. Many per
sons kept sowing at intervals up TO Christmas saving
thus much from the rapacious claws OF Davis and his
harpies Should there be fair yield Of wheat shall
have an abundance Of -four.


Per CONTRA we learn from q gentleman from Ruther-
ford county that the wheat crop in that section is almost
an entire failure, scab and rust having already made
their appearance in IT, Other products were growing
finely.


from the Raleigh Standard, June IL


Passing through portions Of Wake Johnston and Wayne
counties during excursion could not avoid
the conclusion that farmers will barely make half
unusually favorable The seanty, scattered appearance
Of the cereals growing along lines OF railway is we arc
well aware no criterion Dy WhlCn 10 estmabe the
character of crops in the INTERIOR but good deal Of
travel in Wayne through county roads, presented
airer prospect and friends from Wake and Johnston
inform that in event. however auspcious the
may be, can half the usual crop be made


friend from Rutherford county tells US that tho
wheat crop through that section scarcely
third the accustomed yield aud that In many places
it being seriously injured by rust that will never
head.


The most that Of farmers do the present
year will be TO their fencng-generally de-
stroyed-and to prepare well may be for making an
average crop next year


This State has been peculiarly unfortunate In this
crisis for though the actual destruction of property
within her borders has been extensive perhaps
in other States, yet the movements Of two large
armies In planting extremely disastrous TO
the agricultural interests OF large sections OF country
while indscrminate sragng has reduced the farmers In
many instances to sseolute want These have had TO
begin life almost de and to replace from their Grip
pied not only the stock and agricultural imple
essential N proper tlsge OF the soil but they
have had essay all this when the labor system is in
state of utter chaos


From the Charlotte Bulletin.l


We have taken considerable pains TO obtain accurate
information on these important subjects, aud rejoice
that able readers that the prospects
much more favorable than We had supposed. Most
of the farm hands in this region still remain at their
usual occupation The corn crops look wel the season
is nne and the prospect is that the entire crop will
be worked Tho loss OF labor occaoned by some leaving
home can be moro than supplied by returned Confede
rate soldiers who ANXIOUS 10 obtain work very
reasonable terms We hope nrn,ers will hire these
in nv when they need hop. They arc more In
dustrious intelligent and do from onohrd more TO
twice ss much work y negro.


The wheat and CROP regret to add is generally
rather poor. No cotton or tobacco planted.
