Robingon, Esq,, for Cedartown, and arvived there just. in timeto get pretty decently wet by a shower of rain that owvertook us just before arrival 4t town ; went out that eve ning on-the train from Cedartown to Taylorsville and reached iny brother’s, one and a half miles from Taylorsville just befora night ; found him quite, unwell--had been suffering for three weecks _with an abscess on the face, bnt was im proving a little ; met quite a number of friends and old acquain tances at Floyd Creek chureh, on the line of Polk county, on Sunday. I found that county in the condi tion of this section at that {ime-— drenched with. heavy. rains,.and farmers. unable to -do anything of consequence-in their line. Tho corn and cotion crops (though ver y late) generally looked well where they had been properly eultivated up to the commencement of the | rains. Isaw some that I thought was about passed redemption, zm<ll the indications there were, that il the rain _continued much loager; farmers gena%ally would hava con siderable difficulty in putting their crope:dn good order. The wheat and gat ¢rops in that section are very fine, but it was feared that both crops were, to some extent, injured. ‘and if the rains continued much i!onger, would be mearly entirely ruined ; but I hope it may not re ;sxllt as serious as apprehended, and as the weather is now {avorable, that both ereps may be gaved with out-any serious injury. 1 retyrned to Haralson on the 30th, since which time I haye nothing of spetial interest to rve port.
