crops in Alabama--anxious for a brush.
Demopolis, Marengo Co., Ala., May 30th, 1861.
Wheat, in this immediate neighborhood, is injured by rust, but the crops of oats, corn, cotton and upland rice, throughout the whole broad belt of this canebrake region, is very fine-- in fact, was never better at this time of year.
Much more grain, in proportion to cotton, has been put in the ground this year than ever before.
Some of our young men are at Harper's Ferry, and the Canebrake Legion, and several fine foot companies, are ready and waiting leave to go to Old Virginia's shores, or the shores of the Mississippi, or anywhere else, to get a brush at the Yankee vandals.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
