that recent rains have caused too rapid a growth and of rust and blight. Arkansas.?The weather during June, with few exceptions, was favorable ; up to the 20th more favorable than last year. Since the 1, however, too much rain has fallen to admit of the cultivation of the crop. Stands are good and the plants are blooming and forming well. The present condition is good, and in comparison with last year sowewhat better. Twenty six counties report loo rapid growth on account of the late rains, and some few complain of rust and the boll worm, but no serious damage. Texas.?As to present condition compared with the same time last year, 14 counties report it not as good, 17 the same, 105 better; nf wHioh nne renorts it 100 Der cent., and V. ~r . one 60 per cent, nine 50 per cent., four 25 per cent., two 20 per cent., and five 10 per cent, better. The complaint of the excess of rain conies from the immediate coast counties and some few counties in Northeast Texas. Some counties report the want of rain, but make no complaint. Some complain of a few worms, but report little or no damage. Louisiana.?The condition of the crop, with few exceptions, is good?about the same as last year. 18 Parishes report the appearance of worms, and the river Parishes complain of rust and blight. The plant is reported as growing rapidly and running to weed. Alabama.?The present condition of the crop is generally good, some few correspondents reporting it nut good on account of grass. As compared with last year the con-1 dition is as good and better, except in 8 of the most productive counties for reasons above noted. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., July 12.?We are now badlv in need of rain here. It is now over two months since we have had anything like a refreshing season, and as a consequence, crops are sufleriug. The southern and western portions of the county have recently been visited with copious showers, but other sections of the county are suffering from the effects of a drought. Improvements about town go on in spite of the dull times. The brick buildings on Depot street of Messrs. Watson & Stahn, John Melveraud John K. Coleman are almost finished, and the foundation of a building for Mr. J. L. Chambers has been commenced. The heat h?s driven a number of our citizens to the springs and the mountains, among the number Mr. D. B. Rothrock and daughter, accorapauied by the Misses Nail and Mr. A. C. Fischel, have gone to North Carolina and Virginia; Mrs. A. H. Lester and Miss Mary Fleming to Spiytsnburg; Mr. F. T. Morgan to the watering places of Virginia ; and Dr. W. S. Gregg leaves to-day on a visit . to relatives in Tennessee. Judge T. J. Mackey and his son have gone ou a visit to Washington and New York. The Lee Light Infantry are making preparations for an excursion to Augusta, Ga., on the 14th instant. CaDt. R. C. Clowney has recently put in operation a fine steam fiour and grist mill in the southern part of the county. On Saturday last, it was my pleasure to take a trip to Catawba river, the present terminus of the Cheraw and Chester Railroad. Through the kindness of Capt. Thomas Backstrora, conductor, I spent an hour ou the Lancaster side of the road, and had an opportunity of witnessing the convicts at work laying iron for the track. In conversation, some of them expressed great satisfaction as to the kind treatment and full rations ttiey . receive. They also say they hope they may fc be permitted to serve out their terms on the r road. Mr. S. C. Walker, sergeant of the guard, says the convicts are not troublesome aud that they work well. Along the route from Chester to Richburg, the crops are looking badly for want of rain. Beyond Richburg the crops are looking better. Fort Lawn, on this road, is a pretty little place. It is a fine location for a town, and building is going ahead. Capt. O. Barber has a force of hands at work on his factory place at Cedar Shoals, and is very sanguine of success. We ha?e in our town quite a number of ex-Union soldiers?Northern men?and they are good citizens. One day last week they had a reunion dinner at Nicholson's Hotel. They spent a pleasant time, and heartily endorsed the Hancock and English ticket. Rev. A. M. Chrietzberg, presiding elder of this district, preached in the M. E. Church yesterday to a large and interested congregation. Dr. W. R. McNeil, an old citizen, who lived near the line of York and Chester counties, died on the 6th, of congestive chill. His son, Samuel VV. McNeil, died a week before, of the same disease. Cap't. DePass, of Camden, whose name is frequently mentioned in connection with the Shannon-Cash duel, was in town last Friday. Report says he wanted to see Judge Mackey. Mr. Jam R. Covington, a native of Wadesboro, N.
