THE GROWING CROPS—BETTER PROSPECTS! 
Since our lastj this immediate region and many others 
throughout the country, have been favored with repeated 
and fertilizing showers; and we can make much more 
cheering reports of the state of the growing crops than we 
dared to hope for when our May number w*as issued. The 
Corn crop has taken a new and vigorous start — Wheat, 
Oats, Barley and other small grain (not previously too 
much injured by the frost) have stretched upwards several 
inches, and filled out their ears plumply — Cotton has 
grown off finely — early planted Sweet Potatoes vines are 
beginning to straggle across the ridges — Garden Veget- 
ables, of all kinds, are most thrifty and promising ; and 
in sections unvisited by the scathing breath of the Frost 
King, the labors of the Fruit Grower seem certain of be- 
ing crowned with the most cheering success ! 
Let us all, then, while rejoicing in our brightening 
prospects, pu-t forth increased efforts to avert the impend- 
ing scarcity and famine— let us hope for that “peace and 
plenty,” which hav&been, hitherto, for many years, the 
heritage of our glorious country; and let us not, above 
all things, fail to return mostgrateful and heartfelt thanks 
to the mercifttl Giver of all Good ! 
“Rescue Grass.”— We have received from B. V. Iver- 
son, Esq , of Columbus, Ga., a number of letters addressed 
to him by gentlemen in different States, all speaking in 
high terms of the merits of his “Rescue Grass.” We 
have also on file a number of communications strongly 
urging the other side of the question ; but as both sides 
have been quite fairly presented through our colunms, 
heretofore, we do not see that any particular good can 
result from further agitation of the subject. 
We will, however, in our July number;-*present the 
views of two gentlemen on this grass, pro-^i con, altei 
which we beg to be allowed the privilq^of resting the 
question for the present. 
Cure for Hydrophobia.- in a ji-ecent letter, our cor- 
respondent, Dr. J. L. Goree, cf Ciiminins, Arkansas Co., 
Ark., says; 
“ A strong decoction of Poke Root will cure any case of 
Hydrophobia (not hopelesst^^glected) which can be 
produced. I have now the report of three cases cured 
one in Jlississippi, one in Tennessee and one in Arkansas. 
So, please proclaim it far and wide, as the disease is con- 
sidered incur 
If this simple and easily obtained remedy should prove 
a specific for this dreadful malady, it will be a great bless- 
ing to humanity. Will Dr. Goree, be kind enough to 
give us, for publication, the method of administering it 
and all other needful particulars? — Eds.

These and many similar favors shall receive attention 
as soon as the crowded state of our columns will admit. 
We beg our friends to be patient, and to make their com- 
munications as short and pithy as possible during the 
warm weather which is now fast approaching. 
Correspondents, who prefer using initials or a 
fancy signature, must, in all cases, furnish the editor* 
with their real names. Hereafter we shall be obliged, 
however relunctantly, to decline the communications of 
all who do not give us, in a private note, their proper 
names. We do not want the name for publication ; but 
as an evidence of good faith. Will our friends taka 
notice of this rule?
