Suggestions tor the Efforts of County Delegations.; Delegations are requested to agree upon a written report, in which they wiil give us full and accurate an account as practicable of the agricultuial condi lion of their counties. Information upon the following points is desirable: I’lie quantity of land cultivated in the crops o! iiie’coiinfy : (roflon, coin, grain, etc, compared with last year : the compasa tivc quantities ot icitili/. is used tins year and last and’ the difference in their cost: what proportion of the farmers of the county came rhrongh last year's opera tions without 1088 : what proportion came through with satisfactory ‘profits : what proportion were compelled by losses to en tirely snepend operations was there more or less hrtid sold in your county, dining the last winter and spring, than in the winter and spt mg of 1870 ? What is the price of land? Whu\ proportion of land is cultivated and dressed by home-made fertilizers? Is there any increased atten tion to flie preserving urid making of fer** tibzors from hoTne'fTiaterial, and how is ;t usually done? Which of the small grain crops give the largest yield in your coun ty, and what is the difference in acreage of small grain t?jis year and lust ? Any special attention to stock raising? What kind of stock? -What arp the. Ideal or other advantages' for raiding that kind of stock? What the difficulties? Any epi demic among stock? What is the disease and remedies used? What per cent, | slock or working stock is tost fiQai all caus| es? •What per cent, by disease and ill treatment? What attention is given to the. selec tion of seed-? What are brought from other sections and higher latitudes ? Any seeds from iowpr latiiule**? Wiiat staph s or c >inni<>d ties does yotK 1 cmnty pioduce sot sa’e? Wh.i! is the bir'*; gest quantity? What What next? etc. . • Any investment* in land* by Northern : e«s or Foreigner*? To what extent? How 1 much produced usually by one individual*? hr w hat department of f*miitfg or planting and.» llu-sg st rangers engage? Ai.v organzatiim lor immigration? To what extern? On what plan?

IF not, what causes or difficulties present them selves ? •.. .?, ~ • « The Cw rs.—Our uccoXinte from itetfrly iill ssetions of the South, during th* past week, were more faroaable. than any re ceived for two months past. The cottijnps ous rains have ceased everywhere. Hot suns gavn the cotton plant a decided im |)ti!se, and the planters made the best of tbu adv'antage to clean out their crops* Some points have suffered recently ’ from’ Muddeu dry weather, which, though of brief duration, had a bad effect after so lung a rainy especially upon corn, wltiph it uow rupttHy maturing. From all quarq tera the accounts at*o more hopeful thaW heretofore. An abundance of flood of aI! • sorts will be made, and cotton' will turn out better than was expected. It lias had a hard time of it, however, and we have no thought that,'under thp best of ciraum stances, the crop wjll much exceed three million bales, if, indeed, it should reach that figure.—?uv. Rupqblican. The First Bales. —VVp have a telegraphy ic report oF the receipt of the first bale of new cotton, at Galveston,Texas, yester day, iho product of Columbia connty, in that Slate. The first bulo last year was received in New Orleans, on the 28th day of. July, or eight days later than the pres*, enl year. Savannah received her first bale last year on tlte 7ih of August.—Sav. Ro*. publican. , , The Titusville Herald prints the follovrr ittg as a first class watniTig : ‘Two well dressed and fine looking lav dies instantly dislocated their neck while, passing each other, in trying to discover what each other had on. It was cloudy, j the speed at which th*-y were moving, and the delicate shade of the dry goods worn by each, operated against them, and ajl sudden tack with all sail against a stiff breeto, fetched them up too short, and they per ished . A Recent. Trial at Memphis has duvcl* loped the fact that Galvin, who wqs bangtail for murder about two years ago, was im nocent of the crime, aud was hounded to death by Radical hate.
