The DROUGHT.—We learn from the Dayton Gazette that the Miami Valley is suffering sadly from the absence of rain. The pastures in many places are burnt up; and many of the streams are failing. The corn between Cincinnati and Dayton appears to be beyond the benefit of rain; the under leaves are dead and top leaves are rolled up. At best, there cannot be much more than half a crop of this staple in the Miami Valley. The stock of old corn on hand, will be likely to advance in price, as the prospect of the new crop becomes apparent.
