ING STATEMENTS.-The forth-coming monthly report of tho Commissioner of Agriculture will show Borne inte? resting features. Tho corn crop for 18G7, it is therein stated, will be less than in 1800, notwithstanding the largelv increased population of the United States. The total, 775.832, 000 bushels, is about 53,000,000 bushels less than the total census returns of 18G0, which was 838,792, 710 bushels; the crop of Pennsylvania for 1SG7 can bo stated at 30,457.000 bushels; Delaware at 3,030,000; Mary? land, 11,050,000; Virginia. 18,400,000; and North Carolina, 17,074,000 bush? els. Tho returns relative to cotton in? dicate fully tweuty per cent, increase in tho aggregate ov?r the orop of the year previous. The total estimate places tho la.it crop at 2,340,000 bales. An interesting feature of tho report is an article on tho trado of tho At? lantic States with California, and a table attached, showing that tho vessels which have brought wheat hither from tho Pacific coast have taken back nearly $12,000,000 worth of manufactured goods and assorted merchandize for tho quarter ending September 30th last.

I regard it ?wi tho cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it jas I have tried it thoroughly) to the fanners of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from tho fact of its causing it to mature from ten days to two 'reeks earlier than il would without the use cf the Poudrette.
