We haVe pissed from one extreme tn the other, and aie as thankful now for sun shine as we would li3Ve been some weeks ago for refreshing showers. Indeed, there is a strong piobability that rain will complete the ruin of the cotton crop, which the warit of it fetimmenced. Ori some plantations we hear complaints of boll worms; white on others, the rust is doing immense damage. It is universal J ly conceded, that the crop has been irre parably injured, and must be very short.
