They do aot wear that smiling appearance which they did in the early part of the spring. But we cannot see why they should not feel eneonraged. It is true we have had neatly three weeks of dry and disageeatdy warm weather, and no doubt the crops hate been injured toa certain extent,but from ail information tvu have gained from farmers in different parts of the county, the crops of both corn and cotton, are remaikablv good, in fact, much better than for sev eral years past, as we have not suffered for rain as some portions of the .State, We feel confident therefore to state that a sufficient quantity of corn will he made in this county to amply supply the demand.
