Crops in Georgia.

--A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, who has been through several counties in Georgia, and conversed with planters and others from all parts of the State, writes from Macon, Ga, as follows:

From personal knowledge, and information from others, the coming wheat harvest, should no accident befall it, will be such an one the oldest inhabitant has never seen; the whole State is literally one great wheat field. The severe cold weather of last winter has destroyed the fly, and all other insects. Nothing can now damage it except rust, but as we have had a dry spring, no danger from that is apprehended. Unless there is an entire failure in all other States, wheat will sell here before the first day of July for less than one dollar per bushel. Georgia alone will be able to furnish the Confederacy in wheat bread for twelve months.
