LOUISIANA INTERIOR.

The LATE COLD WEATHER.-The cold weather
with which we were afflicted during the commence
ment of this week, and the end of the last has eX-
tended all around us. The Covington Advocate
of the 18th, says: Winter, with his hoary head
burst upon us in earnest, on Thursday evening.
About O'Clock rain and hail commenced falling,
and continued till dark, when it changed to snow.
We were much surprised on looking out next morn
ing, to find that the houses were completely
covered"
SNow.-There was quite snow storm at Baton
Rouge, on Thursday night, succeeded by frost so
intense, that it is feared the fruit is DESTROYED
RED RUER.-At Nachitoches, on the 10th. the
Red River was very high, and stn rising. An
overflow was considered inevitable.
POINT CouPEE.-The Southern (Pointe Coupee)
Tribune of the 18th, says: We were visited on
Thursday last with cold snow storm; it showed
during all the night of that day. 1t has been, we
believe, the coolest day we have experienced this
season.
VIDALIA.-The snow storm extended to Vidalia,
also as we learn from the Concordia Intelligencer
Of the 18th.
THE notwithstanding TO our accounts the
river is still rising above. The rise at this point,
says the Concordia lntelligencer of the l7th) is
equal to hreefourths of an inch during each space
oftwenty-four hours. This is serious rise in the
presen, alarming height of the water at other points
above us, and below the mouth of the Arkansas,
the rise is still more rapid, Below us and especially
below the late Cutoff at Raccourci, nearly all is
desolation already.
The Baton Rouge Gazette of the same date
says: "The river is still rising. The citizens Of
have a pit,y from tho binb
elevation of the capital of the State, to look with
admiration at the noble though awful body of water
which rolls by, threatening to ruin lower Louisiana
The front street of town is mostly under water
and 1t is with difficulty freight can be taken to and
from the landing"

Oh it is very hard to bear

From him love very dear,
From him love alone.
And then to think the cause of this
Is mean sOuled household traitor,
One unworthy of his love,
Although she be his sister.
My children dear, all my prayer
While my Bonded knee
Oh God protect them from the snare
That hovers around me;
would rather them laid
In the cold and silent grave
Than to have them placed with those
In whose veins their fathers blood flows
Though he is ever kind to them

MoNTEREy-ITsS SocIETY.-The cores
pondent of The New York Courier and
Enquirer, thus describes this California
town and its society:
"fhe town of Monterey is supposed to
contain about two thousand inhabitants:
but from close calculation, am induced
to believe, tina, ii does not exceed one thou
sand. The town is very pleasantly situa-
ted, the houses built of substantial materials.
Though the internal accommodations are
generally wretched, and the population IS
composed Of perhaps two-thirds Spanish
and Indians, and one-third Americans and
Europeans. In proportion to the popu!a-
tion, there are probably more females in
Monterey than in any other place in Cali
fornia; and the society is equal TO that usu-
ally found in the large towns and villages
of the Uniled States. The Americans and
Spaniards appear 10 feel themselves nearly
upon an equality, and mingle in the social
circles, balls and parties, with great cordi-
ality. The Spanish language is generally
spoken in the latter, as few of the ladies
here are familiar with the English. At u
ball given a few evenings since, by the
citizens of Monterey, to the members and
officers Of The Convention. there were
present, ] should suppose. at least fifty Ia
dies, of whom not more than dozen were
heard conversing in English. and probably
not more than one-,hird had any knowl-
edge Of the language. The ball alluded to
was quite an elegant affair, and the supper
quite equal to those furnished on such oc.
casions, in New York or Philadelphia"
