Crops. --A correspondent writes us from Memphis: "I made a journey a short time since all through Attakapas, Atchafalaya, and up Red River for a long distance. I had therefore, the opportunity of seeing and judging of the crops. Never has such a crop of corn been seen, whether for extent or quality. There has been at least twice as much planted as was ever before put in the ground. The yield, from appearances, will be immense.--The wheat and oats looked equally promising, and were splendid to look at. I stood in cotton on the 22d day of May as high as my knee. The cane never looked better. So that to starve us out, as our generous Northern friends propose, would seem just now altogether impossible."
