We hive, of late, had numerous verbal ; Hints from many portions ?d' tlie State relativo to the now grow? ing crop of cotton, and most of ilium agree in stating that the prospects for tho coming season aro exceedingly nattering, the freedmen working well, far beyond all anticipations, and that in some portions more cotton had been planted than tit any ti tm' prior to the outbreak of the late civil war. We have heard of farmers who have heretofore worked from two tn three hands who are now working twenty five, fifty and even more. This is moro generally applicable to the Ger? man farmers, who will make more than four-fold the amount of cotton raised by them iu 18<"><) 'Cl. The only fear of the larger planters is, that when the time arrives for picking;, the hot sultry season of the year, the negro, now that compulsory labor bas been done away with, will not work with the same diligence that lie does now, and that the great difficulty will be in gathering the cotton in time to prevent injury. With all these lights before us, it is yet impossible to get anything but a vague idea of what the crop may be; still, we believe that if nothing happens to injure the plant, our former estimate ol' about half a crop for our State will prove to have been considerably under, rather than over, the figure. This, how? ever, must necessarily be all guess? work, as it has been generally con? ceded that even at thc commencement of tho picking season it is yet too early to make a reliable estimate of the growing crop. If this was the case before tho war, when thc labor? ers were worked with regularity and efficiency, how much moro uncertain it is now. when so large a portion of the labe .-rs throughout the Southern States have become inefficient, and, to a great extent, demoralized. [GalresUjn Commercial Bulletin. GKOUOIA. The Atlanta Commercial Bulletin has the following from a correspondent in thc South-western part of the State : Owing to the great scarcity of negro labor, the cotton crop for this year will barely reach half the amount produced in 186Q, which, I think, was estimated at 4,000,000 of bides. J am clearly of the opinion that 1,500, 000 bales is a full estimate for the coming crop. This State, at the present time, possesses more negroes than her sis? ters, yet she will hardly make half a erop. With few exceptions, there is not a plantation in this section of our State that has its full quota of hands. A vast number of farms ure entirely without laborers of any kind, and are, therefore, idle. The same thing can be said of other portions of the cotton-growing regions of tho State, in Middle Georgia, there m :i great deficiency of laborers, ami what <// < there are being tampered with ami seduced from their employers, for thc more fertile lands of the West, or for some other purpose, leaving :i large number of planters entirely destitute, onto. The wheat crop in Huron County, Ohio, is said to bo half killed. Many farmers are plowing up their w heat sowed last fall. lt. is most inj tired on the clay soil. The Tnscarawas County Ailvocale .says : From conversation with intelligent and observing farmers front different parts (d' the County, we aro led to the conclusion that there will not be more than one-third the usual wheat crop. The Zanesville Courier .says: A great deal of alarm exists anton", the farming community of this County in relation to f e prospects of the wheat crop for the present year, lt is said t1 \ there will not ho over one fourth oi ..n average crop; that the wheat is not in the ground to produce more, having been frozen and killed by tho cold weather of the past win ter. The winter of 1865 '<>?> was undoubtedly a hard one for the wheat crop. The absence of snow, joined" with severe coif! sit times, no doubt rendered tho prospectivo crop, in part, ?i f?iluro, but not to the extent which (armers seem t<> think. The amount ot* wheal sown Inst fall was, perhaps, larger than for several years past, and should it, owing to freezing out, stand a little thin on tho ground this spring - should some fields be entirely destroyed-wo have but little ? doubt that the coming harvest will develo}> the fact that the yield in the County will not fall much behind that of former years. Some farmers uro so much alarmed in regard to what they consider, pros? pectively, a total failure of the crop, thal, they are buying of our millers Hour in considerable quantities to keep tho gaunt wolf, hunger, from tlu ir doors. Others, more practical, haw [?lowed their wheat Heids und put in other grain. The result of the scare is, millers had advanced flour Gffcy cents |i<>>- barrel j with a prospect of astil! further advance. SPECIAL 'OT1UES. j ttl AltRlAOK.
