Remarks.—A shes, Hay, Naval Stores, and Provisions, a slight 
advance since our last. Other tilings about the same. 
The Weather , till recently, has been excessively dry for nearly 
six weeks. The late corn crops are consequently very much in¬ 
jured, and the fall pastures nearly cut otf. The copious rains the 
past week will remedy the latter, but the former has got past 
redemption. At the south, there has been too much rain for 
cotton, and considerable losses from this and the worm. Rice, 
Corn, and Tobacco have generally done well. It is too early yet 
to speak of the sugar crop. The potato rot has nearly ceased. 
To Corrkspondents.—C ommunications have been received 
from R. C. Whiting, W. D., Samuel Allen, E. S. ; Calvin Coulter 
Jr., R. L. A., and Reviewer. 
Will C. C. Jr. favor us with his real name and place of resi 
dence ?_
