There is little change to be noted in the condition of cotton in the fields, except that reports agree as to the unusual rapidity with which it is opening, being picked and marketed. The ex tent of damage to cotton by the Texas storm has not been deli % nilely ascertained, nor is it likely that it will be as long as the impression can be fostered that it was enough to reduce the yield in that state by hundred.8 of thousands of bales. Insects continue to damage the crop in Louisiana and Texas, i A fair summary of the yield is i that the Atlantic States are very 1 short; the Gulf States will make nearly average crops, while west 1 of the Mississippi the indicated 1 are the best ever known except t for Arkansas which will make i less than an average crop. ] In North Carolina many cor- t respondents say that cotton is i three fourths open, some that all 1 is open, and as picking is pro ] greasing rapidly everywhere, the < entire crop will be gathered by ? the end of October, if not earlier. 1 In South Carolina cotton con 5 tinues to open rapidly, and near- < ly all is now open, but the rains 1 will tend to check premature < opening, and to ^increase the size 1 of immature bolls. In places the 1 plants are again blooming, and some report a small top crop, i but generally the top crop is un- t promising. The weather favored 1 rapid picking, and about halt the i crop is gathered. The rains t damaged open cotton slightly. ( Correspondents estimate the i yield this year at about halt' an v average crop. Sea island shows i slight improvement, but is blooming to the top and the plants are dwarfed. r In Georgia the protracted ? drought was broken on the 13th < and 14th by general, and in most f cases heavy rains, which came c too late to be of benefit to cotton t or corn, both of which are too far advanced to be improved. Cotton, s which is mostly open in the mid r die and southern counties, has i been damaged considerably in some sections. Most of the week ? picking progressed uninterrupt E edly and large quantities of the n staple were picked and marketed, n There are some complaints of H boll worms. In the middle and southern divisions about all the cotton is picked. In Florida showers retarded cotton picking, haying, and har- ( vesting corn, particularly in t western counties. The yield of cotton shows no favorable change, it and the crop will be short, as r previously indicated. t: In Alabama excessive rains in b the southern, central and north fi central portions damaged cotton 1 very much. The bulk of the cot- 3 ton is open and about one half r of it has been picked. The crop f is being marketed rapidly. Pre- s vious estimates of light yields s are confirmed as picking pro c greases. h In Mississippi there has been p no improvement in the condition of cotton. Rust and boll worms are still doing considerable damage in some localities. Upland \ cotton is nearly all open and the I top crop will be very short The 1 weather has generally been fa- , k.

Add /orable for picking and hh it progresses more evidence of the ihortago in the cotton yield ap pears. In Louisiana cotton was not . njuroa to any groat extent by ho storm, as the very high ,vinds and excessive rains did lot extend over the portions of ;ho State where that staple is he principal crop. On the contrary, as before stated, droughty conditions prevail over northern Louisiana and rain is needid in many localities in the con ;ral parishes. The oldest cotton las stopped growing and is ihedding and drying up, but foung cotton is still making ;ruit and reports indicate that a >otter feeling exists regarding he final output. Cotton pickng is in rapid progress. In Tennessee cotton is opening fast and picking is now in full progress ; the crop promises to be quite short. In Texas fair and favorable weather now prevails, but cotion was badly damaged by the i -a i * * ^ 1 ropiciu scorm uuring tne tttti Mid 9th. The crop was completely destroyed in the path of [lie storm in the south portion i xnd it was damaged in the central and north portions. The plants were blown down ; much cotton blown out reducing the juantity and staining and otherwise damaging the staple. Outside of the storm area cotton is loing very well, except that worms and other pests are loing damage in some localities. Picking is being rushed but the abor is scarce in some localities In Arkansas cotton is opening apidly under the influence of lie hot and dry weather which, lowever, has now given way to riore favorable conditions, and lie greater part of the crop is ipen in some localities. Pick ng is progressing favorably in lome localities, while in others t is being delayed by a scarcity >f pickers. In Oklahoma and Indian Territory the cotton picking progressed under favorable coalitions, and the crop is being generally marketed ; it has >pened lip rapidly ; yields coninue fairly good. In Missouri cotton in the outheastern counties is opening < apidly and picking is progressng well.

Jerry Walden, a young white man, was this morning convicted of the murder of Georgo Dixon and sen j tenced to lite imprisonment. Mrs. Dixon, wife ot the deeeased and paramour of Walden, who was to have been put on trial today as a prir.cipal in the same crime, made a sensational escape from eustoday net ween midnight and daylight this morning. She was in the charge of Sheriff Rowland, who iocKed her in a room on the top floor of the court house. There was only one key to the rloor of the room and that key was in the sherifFs pocket. Upon locking her in, shortly before midnight, the sheriff sat down in a chair in front of the door. He fell asleep, according to his story, and when he awoke the woman was gone ; but the key was still in his pocket. When the matter was reported to the court the judge ordered the grand jury to tnake a rigid investigation of the escape. A man named Hi.son, a brother in-law of Mrs. Dixon, is known to have been thero or ibout the top floor of the court house with whiskey during tho night. A report was current during tho forenoon that Mrs. Dixon had been caught and lynched. This was not correct. 8he was recaptured at tho house of her brother in-law and returned to jail. Her trial will come up to morrow. My baby wan terribly alck with the diarrhoea," says J. 11. Doak, of William*. Oregon.
