New ORLEANS, Oct 8.-We understand that
the sugar cane has suffered considerably in the
lave blow-il is said much Of it is blown down
and otherwise injured. The crop, however, is
abundant, and will soon be in market.
Some of the planters on the coast have alrea-
dy commenced grinding the ribbon cane. NO
state in the Union is so completely protected
by the tariff system as Louisiana. The heavy
duties imposed upon brown sugar and molasses
operate as complete bountics upon those arli>
cles, and will no doubt encourage our fellow cI>
,izens to embark largely in the cultivation oil
the sugar cane.
