The Gainesvillo (Fla ) Independent 'of the 4IIh insta lt says: "Wo are sorry ,to chronicle that, a great many of oir farmers complain that tho I'nst is injur Ing their cotton cron v ry much, and The "bottom crop' or bolls is dropping off to a lrge extent, which it is feared will reduce th coming crop one. The Quincy (Fla.) Journal of the 41 instint says: "Sinco our last no tico of the erups, cotton has greatly im proved. If tho spiendid growing. weather we havo had for the last three weekS conintinues, the cotton yield of thi, county, afterall, will be toleta bly good. Corn is not turning on't as well as expected but still wo hope enough will be gathered to do the country." The Rome, Georgia, Commercial says5 : AVa conversed with several farmers yesterday from different parts of the county, who report thecrop pros pects as very discouraging. With -good rains th yield would not exceed .a third of a crop, Everything is com. pletely bu'rned up, excep't cotton, ..nd a Munch longir contiwued droughtt would almosl, destroy that." The CoIumbihus Sti, spenking of th-e crops in that section, says : "If we have the very best of seasonst, we do iot beliove we c.ii raise two-thirds of an average cotton crop. Nor are the reports from otlher sections any better. Ietween hero and Opelika they are wretched. Corn is so burnt up that lit I'l' fodder can be saved. Oi the Mas jrny of the lindo it will require twenty acres of (otton to mako a balo inigled Witl a high t sprinkling of rocks." A corre'ondent, writes frotn Morgan ( ouiny, ().a. : "My estimate will be based partly on personal observation anild partly onl opinions and reports man de to m by prominent planters. The wheIt crop in ihis section was, as you doibtless have already heard, al mos t.ia total failtire. The cotton crop, a1. a general thing, is not good.

A field near (his place has [;hed its leaves, amnd all the forms and young bollsaro dead. All the maturing bolls are open. The caterpillar fly is eli eved to have mado its debut, and apprehensions of miuch injiiry to the cot ton crop from this itisect is being indulg id by many of the farmers in that sec tionl. The Boston (Thomas County, Ga.) Journal of the 5th instant says tho crop reports in that region are athing buut favorable. TIhu waint of' rain during the past, munth has cut the corn crop abort, find it is feared a less qtiantityv will be tnade thant was last year. Cotton is also greaitly injured- first, ont account, oh ext reinn wet weather, and1 no'w on ae 'otnut of ext remie dry weather. .It'our or live open bolls of cotton on one stalk nlro reported, but this does not, rejoice Ilie farmers for say they, the werather s o dry anmd ihe 811m so hot, as to causo0 inmmlatu red 1)01ls to opent.

It sooms that the Irishv not having the fear of Wales before their eyes, and baving no use for -Prince Arthur, or for any other of the youtrmit toionm of the royal bloodlpaddle, have been kicking up a row, upon the oMeasion of the visit of the prinec, and a hur dred of that excitable race are in hos pital, in consequence. The time surely approaches, and that quickly fts the abolition of the purchase sys tom in the army and other reform ad monish, when those princes will have to fall back upon their manhiod for a living, and for their station in socicty, The English parliament becomes more averse daily to allowing them a liv ing out of the taxes of the people. Queen Victoria has boon ad inconsid erato as to have a very large family, and all of her children pertinaciously persist in following the maternal ex ample. It is a case of geometrioal progression, and practical arithnmnti cians) like the E~nglish, simply iatinot stand it, And suroly it is absurd, with over one hundred and thirty mil lions of subjects out of whom to select the wisest and the beat as rulers, that the English Empire should be eom pelled, by "the divine right of kings," to confine itself, when in not-d of a statesman an a ruler, to the heir, at the time being, of a decidedly stu pid, and disgracefully low-minded and sensual, and though it is a matter of less consequence, an ugly and vula gar-looking Dutch family. 'ho Irish are right in kicking against it. Somo people wish hereditary imperialism hero, and they may yet have it. .1ut we see only retrogression in any such change. The sooner puddle-blood in all of its forms is rated at its just value, and no higher, the bmtter for mankind.

The Droughst. Our corrospond(ent "J," has sugge a ted that the drought is a visit ation of Divine Providence upon us for our for-' getfulness of his mercies and contina nance in our sins. We, in a certain sense, believe it. The dihastrous con' seguences of the drolaght are perhaps due to our sins, not so much against God directly, as against that common sense which Ho has given us. From long experience we all know that this climate is subject to drought at least four summers out of every five. We know, too, that soil ploughed ten inches deep has actually stood one of these droughts of twelve weeks dara tion, and yet yielded a profitable crop, David Dickson says, AIu corn crop Is a certainy, and that he does make profitable crops oven ithen tbhero Is a drought, by deep piloughing A long as our farmers sin against doep ploughing and common prudeunce, no long will Divine Providence visit thern, In the summer season, for ,their sins. To charge their own perverse laziness and folly, upon their ledgers, to the debit of the Almighty, is toler ably convenient, if not gratuitously pious. Our own testimony, however,l is, that we have never heard of the Almighty acknowledging the debt and settling th, bill, and don't expoet to hear of it.
