Ths 'winds Wttxe generally tight wester' Iy? and were very drying during the latter part of the week. The week was rainless until the last day, when showers occurred over a large portion, except the southwestern, and north oentral countiee. The show ers were local in character, and the larger part of the State continues dry, and in urgent need of rain, aa all crops were suffering from the exces sive heat and lack of surface moisture, The rainfall at the close of the week is not noted in the correspondence oept from a few stations. Th? hot, dry weather was very fa vorable for haying and curing fodder, and for rice harvest that has recently began. Tbe corn crop is staking favorable progress toward maturity, and early oern is ripe, while late corn continues promising but needs rain. The hot weather was damaging to cotton, causing excessive shedding & -squares and young bolls, especially on light soils and wfc-ere affected' by rust and blight, baity of which have In creased rapidly. - There 1b less injnry from trisects than during the previous week. Cotton is opening rapidly in the eastern a?d central counties, j>ar tlcularly in fields that lia?e rust ?n the plants, and picking has begun in many plsaes and will soon be general.

Several hundred people crowded the court room when the verdict wm read and the most intense silence prevailed. The jury was polled and each man d? clared the verdict of guilty to be his finding. Powers aat unmoved, while hit attorneys asked for time to make a mo tion for a new trial. Arthur Goebel, ?the brother of the victim, and a promi nent merchant, at Cincinnati, who has spent hla time aud fortune for over three years la the prosecution of those accused of being in a conspiracy to kill his. brother, broke down from the strain upo* "hearing the' verdict.

All three of the trials were held ajt Georgetown, and la ?acli of them ho had the assist ance of the most able lawyers who could 3se procured.
