CAROLINA { Metpoti'gtit Qrowhilo.I saw a funcrnlpyro, Likerthat(udlmpunt that Tyrian Dido reared; And on the pile wero laid full many forms Of those I knew, all palo and cold in death. Ab in. the Niobean group thero roao _ ?, Oae female form, o'crtowering all tho rest. Yet this had beauty'e'en more terrible' In all the awful dignity of death. . It was the form of one whoso fate it was, Like Niobe, to see her cldldren dio One alter other, until her turn came, Yotaome were left to mourn, and they stood round Weeping, andyoumight see the smoiking ashes-:- j Their sacrifice! offered at her tomb? And you might know thorn by their tear-stained j faces,1 Among the pitying and the jeering crowd; And hereupon methought I saw a maiden With calm and even tread approach the pile And lay a wreath upon it, and I asked : "Who is this maiden, with the face unmoved By the conflicting passionB of tho crowd?" And one replied, "The Muse of History ; Bringing her tribute to the noble dead " But. ah 11 thought, alas 1 no tribute can Wako her to life again. And then I heard The mournful moving music of the dirge. Thou Rest low, to rise no more, AU covered with thy children's gore, Carolina 1 . Thy-''foes around thee mocking stand; And tell how they may part thy land ; Thou liest still, nor mov'st thy hand Carolina I ? Thy very soul and lifo are fled,? No mourning can bring back the dead, Carolina 1 O Carolina of tho past, For thee no resurrection blast Shall oound. This sleep shall be thy last, * Carolina 1 And then the children of the dead advanced, And with a voice all choked with' sobs and groans, Said " Vale 1 Vule I in aeternum, Valo I And then methought the hills, dales, woods and etreaniB* And all the land that once had owned her sway But ne'er should know her more gave back the echo, ?T Vale ! Vale 1 in aeternum. Vale 1" And then the people put of every nation, Who stood around, some mocking and some | mourning, Cried, "Vale! Vale 1 in aeturnum, Vale I A GR IC ?L T URAL.

Bar ton, on tho cultivation of the cotton crop ; and the other, an essay read be fore the Agricultural Society, by Mr. E. A. Nix. BgL. We publish to-day the Report of tho Department of Agriculture in the state of tho cotton crop. The usual an nual discussion is now going cn between producers and consumers; the latter always proving to their own satisfaction, by figures, that the crops must bo largo, placing the number, of bales, this year, between four and a half and five mil lion. The former, from self interest (which actuates both parties) prove in the same man nor, that this year's crop must fall behind that of last year, and ridicule the idea-that it will bo a repeti tion of the enormous crops of 1870-71. They placo it at three and a half mil lions for this year. The estimate of tho Department of Agriculture, which repre sents both parties, and must have better facilities than cither for ascertaining tho truth, has therefore great weight. Wo look forward to the time when the beat estimate ot tho crops will bo ob tained from tho Patrons of Husbandry. commun1catki). Drau Times:?

M ??' ? ,h . 7f .i-. the aver age oonwtion of she crop, py counties, in 'the several ? koutilerm states. Washington, July 16. Tho reports of tho condition of the cotton crop to the department of agriculture, for July 1st, are summariied as follows:( Owing to causes rep?rted in June, the crop is generally from two to fonr weeks later throughout the cotton States. The; weather was unprecedentedly wet for a period varying from twenty-five.to thirty days, ending, about the 25th of Juno. Tho area of cotton planted was sufficient to tax the available labor to the utmost under the most fa vorable circumstances, consequently the exces sively wet weather preventing work and stim ulating grass and weeds, linn not. only caused poor stand?, and a grassy and otherwise unfa vorable condition quite generally, but has ne cessitated the abandonment of large portions of tho area planted, probably nearly enough to bring the acreage down to what it was last year. The reports, with rare exceptions, are despon. ,dent in tone, .and picture a somewhat gloomy prospect. Doubtless the majority fall in with the common tendency to .exaggerate the bad ef fects upon the crops ?f unfavorable weather pre vailing in tho present, and to underrate the fu ture chances of recuperation from these effects* Tho reporta show generally that the favorable weather in the last days Of June Was having the effect to change the condition somewhat rapidly for the better. Cotton worms caternili ars and lico had made their appearance in small numbers at several points, but as yet had not occasioned much apprehension of Berious damage. The average condition fox the average inado up from all the counties reported, was ninetyfive. In detail tho condition reported by figures gives tho following'results:. Virginia, ten. co?nties reporting an average 'condition of 108, two being placed at 100, Bix above and two below. North Carolina, fortythree coun ties average 01, fourteen at 100, seven above and twentv-tw? below. South Carolina, sixteen counties average 82; Laurens County 100; all others below.
