Augusta, July 21"?Tho latest reports j from Florida state that the crops aro wt least two weeks behind last seuaou. Heavy rains have caused much giass, which the planters bad somewhut over? come, until the rains last week, which caused great damage. The caterpillar has made its appearance throughout Middle and West Florida, but, as yet, has. done but little harm. Tue next two weeks will determine what injury has been sns tained. Experiments made with "Paris green" as a caterpillar destroyer have proved very successful. Tho corn crops are reported good. Iu Alabama, the cotton is looking much better than it did four weeks ago, aud if the worm does not interfere, tho crop in the State will be larger than it was lust year. The worm has made its appear unco much earlier than usual, and is re? ported on every plantation, but it bus done but little damage. If there is to be ony mischief done, it will come from the third worm, which is expected three weeks hence. Cotton is three weeks later thau last year, aud tho iudicatious are, all things on side red, that tho yield will not he us great. The com crops are bad in the low lauds, in consequence ol the early and heavy ruins, which druwued out the grain. Tlio uplands will.produce nu average crop. . Iu Georgia, the cotton reports uro conflicting; South-western Georgia gives indication of n good crop. The weed is small but healthy. In Middle and East? ern Georgia, Ihe crop in a great deal later, but much better than at tho same season last year. The average yield may be expected. Parts of Eisteru Georgia buffered severely from drought, but gene? ral damage was not sustained. For the past few days heavy raius have bec-n general and still seom to prevail, uuj may improve the crop, but to what ex? tent it is impossible now to know. The caterpillar scare is over, and nu damage is expeoted. Tho corn crop is reported fine, and other cereals -have turned out well. A great deal of cotlon acreage was abandoned on account of the grass. Reports from South Carolina show heavy and continuous rains, which cauaed au abandonment of cotton land, but not to auy considerable extent. The crop is backward, but later accounts are moro encouraging, an and average crop will perhaps be made. Cincinnati, July 23.?The explosion of a threshing michine boiler killed and hurt five.
