From all we can learn the crops in this
Parish are fair and promising, The cane
cooks we'll, and will yield more than Stas
anticipated some weeks sine. Although
not a very large crop is expected this sea-
son, yet it will probably be n fair average
one.
In West Baton Rouge, upon lands that
were not orceiowea, we hear that the
cane looks fine and vigorous.
We understand that the crops. both OF
cane and cotton, are coming out" finely
IN East Feliciana, aud that a good average
yield may be anticipated.
The Poiute Coupe Echo, of the 18th,
says that the crops in that Parish, "where
there are crops" present q most promising
appcaranceo
The Red River Republican states that
the prospect for a fine cotton crop 'ncver
was better in That section Of country.
The Republican is of opinion that if the
season continues favorable, and the cater
pillar doesn't make its appearance, that
the planters viii make as much cotton as
they can possibly pick.
A fricnd, residing in the Southwestern
section of Mississippi, informed us, the
other day, that the cotton crop was back
ward and poor in his %setSion, and that he
did not believe over q two-thirds crop
would be made.

The Good Works III WaaIlingtDn,

Things are progressing sloriotisly ut the
political metropolis Of the IJuion. The
defeat Of the compromises, instead Of de-
pressing, lins stimulated the pattiots Of the
Senate to renewed exettioni
First came the Texas Boundary Bill,
which was passed by n lnrgc majority.
I'lten the bill, providing for tie admission
Of California, wbs passed, on the 18th. by
n vote Of 81 to Is. Then the bill, providing
a territorial government for New Mexico,
passed by a'large majority,
The bill, providing for the reclamation
Of fugitive slaves. was mnde tile special
order Of the day for Monday last, and will
probably pass the Senate.
OF course, most Of The items of intelli-
genee above given, are tslegrapliir-but
we have nc doubt Of their authenticity.
We believe that the measures above
named will all pass the. House Of Repre-.
sentatives at M early day That the
South Carolina ultfhs and the Ohio mud
Massachusetts aholitienists will oppose
them, there ear he no q,testiUi-bl1t that
they will receive the support of a large
majority Of the patriotic and enlightened Of
the House, we have no doubt. The dis
unionists and abolitioilists will fight these
measures OF adjustment TO the last, for they
know that, when once permanently set
tied, their occupation will be gone, and
that they will sink into That insi91lifichneh
from which the breath Of agitation alone

The Elections.

The election returns come in slowly. In
Missouri, the latest intelligence leads to
believe that the Wings have achieved e
most splendid triumph -Four Wings, are,
IN doubt. elected to Congress, and il is
quite possible that the fifth candidate has
been successful. The Wings, it is thought,
have carried the Legislature. il such prove
the case, n Wing will be elected to the
Senate in the place of Col. Benton. The
Benton party is omphatically enc where
III Missouri.
The legislative elections in Kentucky
nave re sulted in the triumph of the Wings,
but by slightly reduced majorities,
We have some scattering returns from
Arkansas, but nothing sufficiently definite
to form n conclusion.
From the returns, it is evident that the
democrats have elected a majority Of the
members of the Indiana Legislature.
The returns from Iowa are so meagre
that it is impossible, as yet, to form an
opinion as to the probable result of the
late contest.

ly~In an able article having reference
to the probable effect of the Plank Road
upon the prosperity of the town OF Clinton,
the last Floridian ~pertinontly enquiries:
"But if one outlet to the Mississippi
river has produced this state Of things, is
it not a fair presumption that w will in
creasoit! Ii high rates of freight have
male the town prosperous, does it neces-
sarily follow that low ones will injure that
prosperity
Most assuredly. If one outlet to the
Mississippi has made the beautiful town
of Clinton what it is, in a business point
of rSw, another outlet illtcnd to increase
that prosperity. The proposition is an
deniable.

NORTH CAROLINA ELEcT1oN.-Mr.
REID, democratic candidate, who has been
elected Governor of this State was opposed
to the Nashville Convention, and wrote
against it. We are happy to know that
he disapproves Of the wild schemes Of the
Southern ultras and will in no way lend
them c~ountenance. North Carolina always
was-and always will be, we doubt not
true to the Union of these States.

HORRIBLE OGtURRENoE.-W We learn from
a friend, just from Jackson, that some few
days ago, Il portion Of the citizens Of
that place were Mortified at the sight Of the
mangled corpse Of an infant, which was
found in the possession OF several dogs, in

learn it seems. that some dark and dsvilish
deed has been done suspicion has been
fixed upon a widow lady, and cifctimstat-
ces are clearly against her it is supposed
that it was her own child and that che
killed it to hide her shame, but in burying
it her dogs followed, dug it up, and brought
it buck to the house, where IL was found
in Il mangled condition. Truly this must
have been q hoffifying spectacle for a
mother to look upon-tbe mdu9iea corpse

1Nat proposition will not hold good, it
seems to IFS. If the Railroad ttinterests'
have II right to object to the building Of n
Plank Road from this city to Clinton. they
would also have the same right to object
to the building Of Il similar road running

hardly think DIR friend Of the Wing would

there is no real difference between The two
propositions.

alludes. Had we the space we would

the prosperity Of every place to which it
penetrates. Why? Because /, Is The

can start upon his o,tn road, and 20 to

Ter expense by iurathan the freight upon o

mules, horses, or oxen, ut home These
facts are indispltable therefore, it is no
wonder that Plank Roads are so popular
with farmers.
We regret that our friend Of The Wing
is SO welded to "old established interests q
that he feels compelled to oppose this road.
But Our regret is lessened by the knowl-
edge that u1any Of liestaunthest citizens Of
Clinton and Of the. Parish Of East Feliciana
fully appreciate its benefits, and that they
will lend II strong arm to the enterprise.
Finally, we anticipate the time, with
