The Cotton (^rop.—From what we can learn, the prospect for an average yield of cotton in this District is worse than we had supposed. The yiehl will not be m.ire than one half. Wc learned the other day that a farmer who made some fifty bales last year, will not make one bale this year. 'I’he ca.se is not so bad with all, but to our cert.'iiti knowledge a great numbi^i will not reali/.(! mor,' than oiie third yield as tii.'^ did last year, whilst th.-, most fortunate cannot exceed .me iialf. W(? cannot but licliev.* that cotton will bo up in the Spring, y«*t have always thought that th.' farmer hal no business to interfere with 'pe-ulations, and the most advisable plan for him, would be to sell .so soon as his cr.ip is rea.ly for market. Taking the prices of one year witli an other, this is the safest an,l surest plan. Lnncaster Jjeihjer. WHERE IS TEIE DIFFERENCE. Not long ago the Washington Sentinel pitche.l , into Wm. J.

Tht Cotton Crop.—From the Atlantic States, the advices in regard to the .lanuige done by the frost of th(! lioth ult,, are move decided than ever, and under this intlii.Mice the crop estimates from that secti.iii are running lower than before. There is no (juestion, also, that in the region tributary to New Orleans the plant has sufTered greatly from the same cause, but the extent of country fr.jin whicli we ib rive our supplies is so lari'e and diversifit-.l, that it l'c,-omcs a difficult niatt(‘r at this early period to determine w hat may be the d. licit at this point.
