i I I Report on Crops ia tha Exited States, i The Department of Agriculture furmshvs a lumxuarj of the crop reports." A statement ia given showing the mean temperature and rain lall of the several States for July and August, a& contrasted with those months lost year. The region most subject to drought that west of the Mississippi and Missouri has had the most regular supply of rain, and the valley of the former has had an abundant rain-fall to its mouth, while Alabama and Georgia hare suffered from drought, and the Atlantic StaUs in a still higher degree, not only throughout the tidewater region, but in a large portion of the K as tern States. (On the Southern Atlantic Seaboard the heat has been greater this year than in 18C3, and the rain-fall less! North and east of New York, the heat has been less, as also the rain-fall. In the ope case it was too but, in the other too cold for eern and other summer crops, which suffered ac .cordiagly. While the drought has prevailed t cast of the Allcghar.:cs, the great ?liissipji ( basin has had an nr..; :ia.l nmour.t of t:'n. West 1 ' '. ! rP7- f.-' tr-il 1rfi1 - bad lets rain-fall in August than in ISOS. The excessive moisture of the summer is sustained to iU close, especially in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Jpwa, Nebraska, Kansas .and Mi-ouri. Both the early and the latter raina have Lcen some what extraordinary west of the Missouri, yet the high temperature and deep thirsty soils of that region hare converted the visitation into a bless- . itg.' The drought of the seaboard has not been equalled in many years. The comparison " be tween this, year and last shows that New Eng land has had but one-third as much rain in August of the present year; New York a little rWe than one-half; New Jersey scarcely one eighth; Pennsylvania one-sixth, and Maryland one-ninth. The extracts from correspondence Jill show the injurious effects of this excessive rought on corn, cotton and garden vegetables. j Cor. The corn crop has . been the prey of numerous ills in every section of the country. The only States that show an average condition are ' Nebraska, Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. Excessive rains . retarded planting, and . necessitated . replanting in the spring ihronghont the West and South., Cold wet weather prevented healthv, vigorous growth in almost every State, and in the season of earing and maturing, and a serious drought affected it in Ihc Atlantic coast, with, injurious heat iu the touth, snd unfavorable re . :tion of temperature in the North. Deep soils, naturally draiucd, the fcxtrenie moisture of the West did no injury. Iu jheavy or flat lands, with clay subsoil, the dauwge was great; in some cases resulting in total fail ure. ; The loss as shown in the table is 19 per cent in Virginia; from 30 to 40 in Maine, Vermont, Maryland, North. Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, M "chi na and Wisconsin: from 20 to 30 in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jer sey, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota; from lOtoZO in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and I to 10 per cent, in lihode Island, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and Cali fornia. Unless thcclo6e of the seasou is very favorable, there must : bo 150,000,000 bushels less than a full crop. - , . Cotton. There will be a reduction in the i yield of cotton from the Carolinas to Alabama, ana a material increase irom Mississippi 10 Texas. Georgia, Florida and South Carolina have.suffered most mainly from drought, in a localities from rust, the caterpwlar and boil- worm. Our estimates make the increase in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, respective, 10, 12 and 14 per cnt. The probabilities at present Javor a yield of 2,750,000 bales.: ! Wheat. This crop as a whole is large. The only Statci showing a decrease are Illinois, 31ich igan, Iowa and California. Some of it is in terior in quality, and a considerable portion has been injured by rains after harvest, but a con siderable portion of the Western wheat is of good quality, and thfct cf the: South decidedly su perior. - " i 1 3tock Hogs. There is not only a reduction in the number of stock bogs, hut also in the condition. 3Jissouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota, rapidly growing States,' have made an increase in numbers, as have some of the Southern States. There is apparently a decrease, as compared, -with last year, of five to ten per cent. .- Jhe Cotton Crop. From every portion nearly of South Alabama, our exchanges brings us the news of the great falling off in the yield of this staple. We are constrained to conclude "from the lights bef'ure us'," that the cotton crop of Alabama will be much shorter than it was last year. The san- Sino expectations entertained ; by the planter t Spring are now certainly doomed to disap pointment; of this there can be no doubt. The tine wet weather of the spring .which so stimu li lated the hopes of the planter, together with the drought of August, have been bis ultimate ruin, and produced his present state of despondency. The green succulent cotton plant of the spriug .rojuli not withstand the dry season of the suui injcjrr Jhepld bolls dried upon the stalk aud j' the- young ones shed off. Planters are sur ;! prised to see that the first picking picks all the cotton, and mere wm ne nointng icit in tne J future, Iherefore, we say the cuttou crop iu South Alabama cannot be as large as it was last year. -jLVrryrpni (Alcr.-f)' Olcrrer. - ?

Wc learn that the murder was of the most shocking and brutal character. The guilty parties were arrested and put on their trial for willful murder at' the last Spring term of the Cherokee Superior Court, before Judge Cannon. On the trial,' the- prisoners proposed to carmine tarJi for die other ; the Judge held that they had a right to such examination.

The Atlantic cable announces that this cele brated preacher has reuouueed his allegiaucc to the Church of Home, and a i short account of him mayT not be uninteresting. Charles Loyson, known us Father Hyacinthe,1 was born at Orleans, in 1827, and finished hisj studies in the Acade my of Pa u, of which his father was rector, and at early age became fatuous for his remarkable poetical writings. In 1845klic entered the theo logical seminary of Saint Sulpice, at Paris, and,; alter four years' study, was ordained priest. He was next appointed professor of philosophy at the great semiuary at Avignon, aud subsequent ly professor of theology at the great seminary at Nantes. He next performed, the duties of priest in the parish f the Church" of Saint Sul pice, and alter ten years trial became convinced that his true vocation was preaching. He then spcut two years in the couveut of the Carmelites at Lyous, aud subsequently was admitted to that Order and made his first appearance as a pulpit orator by prciching with : great success during a spiritual retreat held at tbe;Lyceuui of Lyons, lie next preached the Advent course of sermons at Bordeaux in 1SC3, and he Lent sermons at Perigneuxin 1864, and iu 'the sumuicr of that year he proceeded to.

It was the third time in as many weeks .that she had been simi larly captured. She had sunken very low in deed, though the policemen noticed that she did not insult them when arrested, that no profanity escaped her lips, and that when before the: jus tice she seemed thoroughly ashamed. Yet the depth of i degradation to which her course had carried her was fearful to contemplate. : f She came here from an-up river town, and had parents, respectable and highly esteemed in their place of residence, living to bewail the life upon which their daughter had entered. The girl's appearance in court, togethenrith the story of her life which she told, were mentioned in the newspapers here, j i The item attracted the attention of a German lady, who resolved to try and save that young woman from destructioii. She' mentioned the matter to her husband, and he afleragreat deal of coaxing, to be sure seconded her effort. An interview with the girl resulted in the hus band giving bail for her appearance at the court, and she was discharged from custody. The lady took the girl to her house, clothed her neatly and set about the work of reformation. The ' girl's past! course was never' alluded to, and, so far as Whe knew, the utmost confidence was placed in hcrJ All the time she was narrowly watched and guarded, aud many an cveuing was danger warded off when she little knew that it was near. The: girl became one ofjthe most grateful beings that ever loved a benefactor, aud iu three months the lady trusted her abroad with her children, for whom she cared with vigilant eyes. j Handsomely dressed,1 and her whole appear ance changed, one j would not recognize her as the fallen creature so recently a subject fbir legal punishment. ' She ha reformed, and now is a good girl. She left for Jackson county this morning to see her father and mother, and 31 rs. went with her. Imagine, if you can, the joy which has ere this pervaded the home of that girl's parents, j There must be a satisfaction nearly akin' to cestacy pervading the soul of the German lady who returns- the girl redeemed to j the' home hich mourned her as forever lost. 31an v and many a young woman has gone straight , down to I destruction for wantof help from her own sex in her struggles for reformation.
