THE CorroS CRoP.-The Mobile Adj

dent, giving his views i'm relation 20 the
new crop OF cotton, and the prospects Of the
planter, from which we make the annexed
extract, dceming il a matter thai much in

liser endorses its correspondent, who writes
from Marcngo, Ala, as one Of the most
intelligent planters ot that State, and says
that his means of information are, at least.

There is certainty that the present cotton
crop will fall short Of that OF the last year,
but not in the proportion that most persons
affect to believe. He says:If Tropic.


.Let us examine the account All the state

presenting the crop not more than half Of the last
years But this unheard of falling OFT over
SO large a surface, and for approximation TO

class Of plantations cannot make more than two
thirds, and in many cases not than one-half
the usual production. A large portion Of the mid
die and eastern counties Of Alabama and much Of
interior and northern Mississippi come under this
head but as the bulk Of the crop from these two
States does not depend on this quality Of soil, il
would be fair TO that the deficiency in
these two States cannot be more than one-sixth
