SraAR,-Thus far, the season has been re-
.,,arkably favorable to the sugar planters OF
Louisiana. Though some say the cane does
not pr,auce SO abundantly as has been the
case in previous years, all agree that It makes
I'm in quality what it lacks in quantity. we
have seen no poor sugar yet, aud some gam
niles shawn us have been beautiful. A spe-
cimen sent over from West Baton Rouge, by
V. Leblanc, Esq is superior to any we have
seen. Such sugar ought to bring ten cents
in market, even in these times.

win delivered his cotton on the Mississippi, at
the residence of Mr.. D,vall, in West Baton
Rouge and he is the first Of the planters in
that region, who has transported cotton by
that route. A cool read has been opened,
bridges built, and henceferth there can be no
doubt that the planters eli Crosse Tete will

transportation via Plaqucmine 10 New Or

mind and language Of the country ever ha"

ryThc Natchez Courier of Tuesday, LIST
inst, has the following notice OF the loss OF
the steamer North Alabama.
This boat met with a fatal accident on Sun
day afterneau. She was on her passage down,
with a cargo of fifteen hundred bales or there
about. In rounding to, opposite the cotton
press, she struck a rock, as is supposed, and
Sunday night she sank up TO the hurricane
deck.
She has thrown off a great many bales, and
nearly all she had must be more or less dam
aged.
We have heard that there was no insurance
on the boat, she being owned by her captain
PERFECTLY vALID.-One of the best apollo
Cics we have seen is made by an Alabama ed
ltor lie his readers. for the paucity of his edi.
terial columns. The gentleman says:
ave have come TO the conclusion that a
good excuse is better than none. If our rea.
aers be of the same opinion, they will forgive
the barrenness of our editorial columns to-day,
inas,nuch as Sail (such is the endearing title
of eur better half,) has the scissors. The la
hies must have shirts, and Sail wont cut out
shirts with a hand saw, no way it can be
fixed"
Our opinion of this case is, that Sail is no
only unreasonably obstrepuleus, but is als'
an entire novice in the art of running a saw

VI DIR. Plough requests us to say, that h'
considers the plan adopted by the Picayune
to manifest its "kindness and respect alto
gether unique; and such as neither the os
tensibie or actual editors Of that sheet waul
admire, il practiced on them. He adds, tha
people do sometimes differ 10 opinion and h
therefore holds it his right to deem any jour
nal that wanton,y tritieS with private cirarac
ter, a very hJ9iag concern. He says he ha
read in that paper, sentiments which aspire,
10 generosity and nsbility of tone but tia
these were Borrowed, or put on only for sre
cial occasions as negroes don Their Sunda,
clothes, he concludes from the fact, that il
shafts Of ridicule are always hurled at th'
weak and aefenceless. This lie consider
equally P~icayuae-ish and mean.
