They bave loft Johnson County, and I bave scon & number of | [armors from thare, Thomas Lindssy among tho rout, and thoy say thoy did o dsmage worth men- tioning. 1. D\ is hero now, and snys that hime solf and alt his neighbors havo not been dam- agod ton dollary’ worth by the grazahoppors. 1 could got n cortifleate to the ulact that tho grasstioppers had done no harm worth montion- mg eigued by nisa out of ovory ten farmora inour conoty it I had timo to go altorit. In fact, I considlor thoy have beon au actual bonefit forthisroason: thofarmershavelived inconstant drend of thom all summor, and havo mado groater offorta to securo thoir crops than over boforo. Tho result is that thore are thousanda of acres of corn that linve been cut up that otherwisa would havo stood in tho flold and tho fodder would havo boon lost, Again, aa to the starving planted_in corn boratofora has boon in thin county 54,000 acres. This year by statistica wo havo 169,000 ncres in corn. "I got thin from the returns of tho- difforent Assossors, and putting thia at tho lowest possiblo estimnto of 20 bushels to tho acre wo will havo 8,880,000 bushely of corn in this county, or moro than twice r3 much a8 we ever bad before. Qorn will bo high, and I bolivye our farnturs will bo bottor off tho bogin- ning of anothor yesr than] over before, bocauzn all have a surplus, and for that surplus they will get o Dbig prico, whioh will moko thom mora money = with loss Inbor than ever befora. Thers ia no doubt that tho westorn part of the Stata has guffered wo- vorely from thelr ravages, becauee thoy wero thero when tho corn waa groon, and they do- stroyed it ; butall nlong tho eastern portion of tho Stato tho orops waro ontlroly out of the way. Ot conrso, cabbage und sonlo garden vogota~ blea will bo injurcd, but that iy a smnll item. I Jjust paw Copt.S., from Cresford County. Ila camo up last night, aud he says 1o Bourbon, Crawford, and Cherokeo there are no grasshop- pors, that thoy have had good, soasonabls, rains, and that they bave good cropi. I incloss you. o numbor of letters corroboratiog Ry statomaonts, Thoy show that Aliami, Johuron, Lime, Boure bon, Crawrford, and Cherolico Countios are in botter condition finaneially than ever bofore, owing to the crops thoy have and tho pricos tliley will get for their products, Somuch for the grasshoppern, €. 4.
