HAMS CURED IN WARREN County MIssIssIPrI. We
are SO very well supplied by our enterprising mer-
chants with cup country Hams, that we seldom get a
taste of any other, but on Sunday last we had n cut one
cured from a natiue hog, by a gentlemen living u few
miles from the city, equal fully to any thing that ever
was imported; those mans were carried round and sold at
eight cents per pound!! Huzza for old Warren-Mis-

hams, and raised the hogs. is a sterling wing, too

tE EFNa#
The CRops-Tnr Army WoRM.-Judging
from tho tone Of four exchanges throughout the
State, the prospects of the Sugar Crop general.
ly are still very fair. Some Sugar lands, how
ever, have suffered very much from the long
continued drought.
Corn also promises well so far. In some sec
tons ofour State large crops of it are looked
for, and we find that almost all over Mississippi
and Louisiana the prospect Is not gloomy BY any
means.
With deep regret we learn that the Cotton
Crop is now in danger ofdestruction in this Sec
ton ofthe Stats. The Army Worm has alrea-
dy made its appearance on some of the finest
plantations i'll this parish, No damage has yet
taken place, except on a few plants where the
leaves were very thick, hutthe Caterpillar, near.
ly three quarters ofan inch III length, has been
seen and the eggs are very numerous under the
leaf. This makes the prospect a gloomy one
for us.--Coacordia Int, Aug. Cd.

It appears, from a letter from a correspondent Of tho
tlcayune, residing at Paducah, XIV, dated July %,
that one Of the most extensive and thoroughly orgaui-
zed bands Of outlaws that have yet beenebaaded
together since the days Of Murrell and his gasE, have
their hauuts in the adjacent counties ia illinois,
whence they sally forth to this State, and parts OF
Tennessee, Mississippi and Missouri upon theif errands
Of crime. The immcdieS cause Of the discovery Of
this horde of robbers, wssf the sudden disappearance
Of a man named Davis, who resided in Christian coun-
t1kky. It,appears that Davis. had been inveigled oil
by one Of the williams, who, after he had contrivcd 10
get Davis intoxicated, succeeded by one cachinary OF
another in getting him to sign a decd conveying to
HIM his property. Topreyent all trouble hereafter, Da-
Wis was despatched, and his body hid away il 4 cave;
and the william whose name is Pennington and leader oil
the gang, took possession of the effects.
The citizens Of Christian county held a meeting and
determined TO ferret out the cause Of Davis d~isappcar-
ance.-They succeeded in arresting a fellow ii aus
picious character, carried him 10 the woods, tied him
to q tree and threatened to whip him to death il he did
not disclose to them the secret OF Dayis's absence
The man after protesting his ignorance upon the sub
ject became alarmed for his life. ard revealed the
whole circumstances of his robbery and murder. The
fellow who revealed the murder oil DAVIS gave a list oi
some eighty persons, who he named and denounced as
members of the gang.
