poses 10 give to the Louisiana Agricultural ah-
sociatiori, a splendid patent Bride and fnartIIi-
gale, to be presented at the Fair in Nove'n-
Der to the exhibitor Of the best saddle horse,
brsd in tho state.
That the right spirit ; we like TO soc me-
cfnnlcs coming up to the work.
Cnorz.--Many Of our exchanges ON.
plain that the crops of sugar and cotton
win fall short this year by about ono third.
II is known that on high dry binds these
staples Irxve both suffered materially ffotl
drouth. But in more humid soils, along
the rivers and bayous, crops may be SAID
to excel this year. Cane ID large and Of
good consistcnce; the cotton strong tne
and abundant. We suppose when editors
say that tho crops will fall short one third,
tlcv mean that some planters will not
make so large u crop MS they calculated
on by one third for gentlemen who have
travelled over Loaisigua, Alabama and
Mississippi, assure u that the crops have
not promised better for several years then
they do this seuson.
CAN'ri--Rcally, we have not time 70
quarrel (were we 80 ~disposed) with our
good peighbors Of tho P'caynne and Wood
vile Republican. We publish a sheet for
subscribers and whether they pay prompt
" or not, a bargains u bargain" as the
Scotchman said, and we regard tho Gase1e
az tho property Of it, patrons. Costse-
qaently, we cannot occupy its columns
with essays on our own "good sense OF
lame understanding" 1--WE have Oh aw.
ful sore toe just now. Wc'ro mighty
wrothy, It's true but wen endcavor TO
persuade some kind friend to express in
our behalf an opinion opposite to tlHrt o.
the Pic and Republican, which will per-
Ihaps, satisfy us in full. II it do not, we
sbnp watch our chance, and tell SONIC Gle.
fenceless wretch that he hicks !" sense,
and a sound . understanding = we reckon
that will cool us off.
The Pic may call this all cant, but lc'
him wait till he SECS our .feni7eton on ba'
and P;cavuRes'' before he says any thing
Goop.--A large MURDER Of the most re
spectable citizens Of Mobile hnye slgnct
an agreement to prosecute every master
who permits his negroes 10 hire their owl
time. The siigners mutually bear the ex
pense OF suits, while all profits arising iron
fines etc. are divided between the Protest
ant and Catholic Orphan Asylams.
This move il worthy the highest praise
The plan of permitting negroes to hire
their W time, is fruitful of the most VI
happy consequences both TO the slave anf
master. Wcbulieyc there are laws against
the practice in Louisiana. Will our wor
thy Mayor permit us to recommend hen
to his attention ga
CoScnEss.--The proceedings Of Con

important. The Bankrupt bill has passe'
both Houses, has been signed by the Pre-

On the 10th a shameful riot occurre
in Washington. A party Of rowdics ut
tempted to insult the President by burn
ing the Veto in effigy. 1t was a drunke1
chararari, which received the unmittiga
ted censure OF all sober, sensible men i
Washington. The Senate took the matte

the CITY, one Of the editors Of the Nation
al Intelligenccr, called a meeting OF tn
citizens to express their Reproduction q
the "contemptible effort of those " worth
less individuals" We quote Mr.. Seaton
words.
CHEER UT, Wires I'VE find the 70
lowing paragraph in the Philadelphia I
s. Gazette Of the 2lst ult. We need M
say the u. S. Gazette is a paper worth
of all confidence. The editor, Jos. r
; Chandler, Esq, is n Of the Oldest, mo-
witty, talented and honest editors of tn
Union. Virtue herself might envy witt
out reproach the beauties of the charactt
, of the editor and the man.
"A friend whc is intimate with the mo-
distinguished members of Congress of bot
|, parties, writes to us as follows 80 al
r perfectly satisfied that Congress will NJ
+ rise without passing a law creating an b
change Bank, and that the President wi
: sign il. | would advise you, as a frier
and a Wing editor, to treat the veto len
t entity, it, being merely a difference !
opinion amongst brethren of the san
q principles"
