The Weather and Crops.--The weather has cooled down considerably since the drenching rain of Monday evening. The late corn crops in this vicinity, though cut short by the long drought, will doubtless be much benefitted. We hear the most favorable accounts of the corn crops on White river and in many Northern and Western counties. The country, around Batesville, has been particularly blessed. In many places the prospect is gloomy, but we have reason to believe that the deficiencies will be more than made up by plentiful crops and good seasons in other portions of the State. From the Indian country, west, our information is most cheering. The corn crops there are unusually promising, with the prospect of a large surplus product.
