mode Of permanently removing the bar
and other instructions to the navigation of

cessary to be done to render Red river
navigable at its mouth at all seasons of the
year.
Be It tiather resolved, That the s1m of
two thousand dollars is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the Treasury not

As our business ca lied Us a few days
since on the other side of the river, we
took the occasion and drove in to uest0rer,
the hospitable and beautiful mansion of
Col. John Nolan, and although it was IN a
unpropitlous time on account of the bad
weather, yet we were much pleased with
our visit. Here we were favorably surpri.
sed when we were shown by the proprietor
a great variety of luxurious Vegetables
yet growing in all their projections and
some to an enormous size, they are with
other specimens from that place to be ex,
hibited at our next agl icultural fair. We
were also much pleased to notice a large
and beautiful collection Of fruit and other
trees that had JUS, arrived from the extern
sive orchard of G. C. s. Farrer, Esq. rom
West Feliciana. We learned that Mr.. F.
is preparing a large collection in the Hor-
ticultural line for our exhibition and also
for sale; to supply such persons as wish TO
ornament their gardens.
The collection of trees we saw here
were fresh from the ground, they looked
vigorous and in beautiful order, they are
here transplanted with much taste as direc.
ted by Col. N. to decorate that place truly
in a magnificent and rural style. We deem
it unnecessary to Aatter the Col. but in jus.
tee be It said Of him, that the taste in ru-
raj architecture he has and i~sstill display.
ing in ameIiorating gestoUer does him
m ich credit, a few years more and this
place is d~estinated to rival with any habi.
tation in the South West.

Mr.. EDIToK.-Every Agricultural or other
newspaper we open from the North East oil
Western States, abound with interesting pro.
ceedings and happy results Of late agric ultu-
raj and mechanics exhibitions and fairs. It
is truly pleasing sir, to observe throughout
our common country, the rapid stride those
agricultural associations and societies are ma
king. From every section of the union We
see the agricultural prints advocating vehe-
mently the true intest ofthe Planter, Farmer,
and Mechanic, prosperity seems to be visible
wherever this social intercourse takes place
between those classes of the community, fos-
tering a head as it were all for the common
good of our beloved country. We most SIM
cerely hope that the dayssare not far distant
when the noble and patriotic State of Lois
lana, shall awaken from her (too long) lethar-
gic condition in agriculture and mechanic arts
that her intelligent and enterprising citizens
may stand up and do the same, that is-to
combine all energy and zeal, TO allay around
and sustain our young Agricultural & Me-
chahic's Association" in its noble efforts and
enterprise, let this be carried through by their
faithful support and soon we shall be as one
the member, that will march proudly in the
van to support and encourage agriculture and
mechanics, this will lead US to an equal sha re
of prosperity and to the good and great cause
or our common country.
In conclusion of these few hasty remarks
I send you an interesting and appropriate par
agraph from a late address delivered by c.. T.
Bolts Esq.-Editor of the Southern Planter
at Richmond Virginia at their late agricul-
tural exhibition and fair.

This society was organized and has

spirited gentlemen in the neightorhood.
Its beneficial effects are felt and seen by
all ofyou. To form a proper appreciation
Of them, you have only TO ride in any di
rection about the subyerbs of the city.
Rude grounds have been converted into
productive gardens, and garden wastes in
to smiling fields. Irecollect a lady's say
ing TO me- last summer, that she meant to
make her husband become a member Of
this society, because it had done so much
TO b%eau,ify the rides and walks about the
city She declared the time had been
when it gave her a fit of the horrors, (ste

was nothing that she and her children en-

AGRICULTURAL FArR.-This fair prom.
ises to be a splendid affair. Our planters
are taking a lively interest in the matter.
We have several able practical planters in
this stale who have come boldly in support
Of every measure having for its object the
advancement and perfection of ag,icuitu.
tai pursuits. At the fair an exchange of
views and opinions can take place, which
cannot fail to be highly profitable to the
community at large. Nothing can create
a greater reciprocal good feeling and EN-.
ulation among our citizens than such occa-
sions, striving all to the attainments of

Judge Theo. McCaleb will deliver an ora.
ton on the first day from his weltknown
abilities we can expect a bold and eloquent
exposition of the benefits resulting from
the establishment Of Agricultural Societies.
But another great attraction will take
place al the same time. The ladies will
hold two fairs or exposition of their han.
diwork and persevering industry. One
for the benefit of the Episcopal Chnrch--
the other for the relief Of the Methodist
Church. Ifwoman at any period can be

to accomplish our plans, and realise our

NEW ORLEANS MARKETS.
WEDNESDAY MonrINe, Dec. n, ls43

WEDNESDAY, Dec. ~, 1910.
Since our review Of Saturday morning las
a very fair amount Of business has been trans-
acted in this market, although the lntefven-
,ion Of a holiday has materially curtailed ope.
ratjons within narrower limits than would
othe Use have been. the Case. The Cotton
market has completely recovered from the
temporary depression consequent on The re-
ceipt of The Acadia's news, and is now quite
az hiph as il was before they came to hand.
The impression that the crop will be very
short is gaining ground daily, and many well
informed parties estimate il now at ltUU,UUU
70 1.7OOtlOO bales Under this belief it is not
surprising that prices are advancing; and as
li,fle cotton is going forward at present, par
ties on the other side must raise their iIrfiits,
il being altogether improbable that any de.
cline will occur during the season.
The weather since our last has been favor
able for out door business.
C~sotfon-In our report Of Saturday morning
last we stated, that the transactions in cotton
during the three days previous had been on q
limited scale, and that in a few instances buy
ers had a partial advantage Oil their purcba-
SEES. We remarked however, likewise. that
towards the close of Friday the market had
exhibited a greater degree OF firmness, and
that the momentary depression alluded to had
been almost recovered. On Saturday severa
prominent spectators made their appearance
in the market, aud the buying was exceed.
ingly animated-so much so that the sales OF
the day reached fully 1000 bales, at an ad'
vance of / to ac. on former prices. Monda,
being generally considered a holiday, but 1T
tie business was done, aud the sales did MOI
exceed 1900 bales. Yesterday the demant
was again very good, AVID large sales we're re.
ported, but we could not learn Of more thar
$500 r-tes having been disposed o.. whlcl
makes the total business Of the past three
days $4,000 bales. There was but little cot
ton offering yesterday, and purchasers had, ii
consequence, to pay very high prices, AZ leas
te. above those current on Saturday. We fine
It extremely difficult TO give correct quota

Dear Pic.-The preliminary business
of the Senate to-day, was of the same mis-
ceIlaneous, and, for the most part, unin.
portant nature, as that of yesterday. A..
mongst the bills introduced, was n by
MIR. Walker, for the transfer of certain in.
undated lands in the State Of Mississippi
TO the State, for the purpose of making a
levee on the Yazoo between that State
and Tennessee. Another, was a bill in.
iroduced by mr.. Fulton. for the relief of
certain citizens of Arkansas thrown into
the borders of Texas by the new boundary
line. After sumo business of no general
interest. the Senate, went into executive
session, but again resumed legislative bust
ness in the course of bali an hour. A
message from the House of Representa-
tives, then announced the death of Mr..
MiiIen, of Georgia. %whereupon Mr.. Col
quet, in a few eloquent remarks, moved
the cudtomary resolutions of going into
mourning, which were adopted, and the
Senate adjourned over to Monday next.
In The House of Representatives, the
rules and orders Of the late Congress were
at last adopted, until a Committee reports
a revision. On motion of Mr.. lDgersoll,
it was resolved that the Cgmittee on ways
and means should be directed to report IN
the expediency of SO amending the Tariff
law as to put a duty on the and coffee.
Several notices of bills to be introduced
were given. Then Mr.. Stiles announced
the death of Mr.. Millen, member elect
rom Georgia. and moved the customary
resolutions, which were adopted. The,
House then adjourned.
In executive session today, it was I'M
derstood that a warm debate arose on the
Presidents nomination Of Mr.. Gushing to
China. Pending the debate, the message
from the House announcing the death of
Mr.. MiIIen, cut short the indignation of
thnse who regard the nomination of Mr..
Cushing as an insult 10 the Senate after
his reiterated rejection at the close of last
