And yet i? there are newspapers in the East which are ot steadily insist on the certainly of a very who ! heavy crop. There w ill be no such crop lYar this year. We every day sec planters from different parts of our own cotton %. section, and have overwhelming cvi- , dence that recent disasters have, bevon.l "r,s all doubt, cut short the crop.

And for myself, says ho, whereas two weeks ago 1 had the most certain u'rt prospect I e\cr had for three hundred bales of cotton, now since I have seen re!U tho worm at work on it. 1 klia.ll be sat day, isiied to gather one hundred and fifty, news lie says farther, that ho has seen trees don. five feet in circumference so badly in in 0n< jured hy rust that every leaf on them .,iru j, was withered.' to tju This is a sad and 'over true tale;' and q . the unusually largo crop which a few weeks ago wo so confidently foretold, P0' al will terminate in a moderate crop of coin ,Ul. find utter failure ><f cotton.
