THE CROPS.

WHEAT CROPS.--The papers in all quarters give very flattering accounts of the growing wheat crop. It is represented as more promising than it has been at this season, for eight or ten years.

Such we believe to be the fact in reference to the crop in Virginia. It is every where in a state of forwardness, is thick and well set upon the land, and looks vigorous and healthful. If the season prove auspicious, the farmers cannot fail to reap a rich reward for their labors this year.-Richmond Whig.

Michigan. -The agricultural prospects of Michigan never looked fairer than at the present time. From all parts of the state we have assurances of abundant crops. Wheat is in a fine condition. If nothing occurs to disappoint the hopes of our farmers, they will this year have a surplus for exportation.-Detroit Advertiser.

The Crops.-The Upper Marlborough Gazette says :

"We are sorry to learn from almost every part of the county, unfavorable accounts of the Tobacco plants. The fly has made the most destructive havoc among them, and in some sections the planters will be compelled to abandon the growth of it entirely this year. In the Forest, where the largest quantity of tobacco is usually raised, the loss of plants will be most severely felt. The prospect of small grain is very flattering. 'Wheat looks better than it has for several years past. The rye and Oat Crops also look flourishing.'

Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Easton, (Maryland) Gazette, dated TRAPPE, May 24th, 1838.

"I have, what I and every passer by would call a first rate crop of Wheat--not having gone into it for a week or ten days, I this morning by accident walked through the field--it is now heading out. and I think ninety-nine out of one hundred heads are what is called "Tare or darnel !"--if others are like mine, there is an end to the Wheat crop in Talbot."

We find the following paragraph in the Fredericksburg (Md.) Herald :

"We are informed by persons from various parts of the county, that there never has been a more beautiful prospect for a full crop of grain in this section of country, than now exists. If the harvest should fulfil the present expectation, it will make the hearts of the farmers of old Frederick rejoice again."

The Crops.--We are gratified to observe by our exchanges from every part of the country, that the crops of winter grain promise a bountiful harvest. From the wheat growing regions of Ohio, the fertile valley of the Wabash, the prairie fields of Illinois and Wisconsin, the rich openings of Michigan, the well tilled farms of Western N. York, the Dutchman's green and extended acres of Pennsylvania, to the broad plantations of Maryland and Virginia, a goodly report comes up, betokening full granaries to the independent cultivator of the soil. They deserve it then.-Cleveland Herald.

Grain Crops,-We are informed that the fields of grain never looked more promising in this country, at this season of the year, than at present, and unless there should be a severe drought, the crops will be abundant. The fruit trees of every kind are literally loaded with blossoms, and indicate an abundance of fruit.-Hudson Gazette.

The cotton crop this year is an extraordinary product compared with previous years. Bets are made at. New Orleans that it will not fall short of one million eight hundred thousand bales. This is the real gold of our staples, and the excess of two or three hundred thousand bales over last year will keep the foreign exchanges in our favor while we are backed by such wealth, which is more substantial than specie.-N. Y. Star.

The Bucks County Intelligencer says :

"We have had copious rains during the last week, which could not fail to cause the hearts of our Farmers to rejoice within them. From what we have seen, and likewise from hearsay, we are induced to believe the forth coming crops will be unusually abundant. Our exchange papers from almost every quarter speak favorably."
