In addition to this pleasing intel ligence, onr information places the number of seres planted st one-third less than last 'year, and tbo proportion of com over last -yesr.corre-pondiugly increased. For on , year our farmers took a common-sense view ' of matters and the result isj their cotton will bring them as much as I Sat yc-ir th decrease in the number of bales raised mak ing the demand greater, and thereby in creasing the price while our cribs are over Bowing with com. " Every farmer has his ' barn full, and if ho was not to receive ono cent for cotton, he is consoled with the re flection that he has plenty hi id up to eat a nother year. To add ta this gratifying -condition, parties who hav traveled xtea- ' aivcly through tba Stale,' report the mast crop bolter than known for many years. It i sufficient of itself to fat ton all the bogs In the-country, and ther is a fair prospect of pork being cheaper than ny yoar sine th , war.'

' It grows on a bush exactly liko the cotton " plsnt ; has seed liko it, and is cultivated ia the same manner and at the ssm season as cotton.
