The drought still continues. Many OF our sugar
planters have bean compelled 10 sup in m W.
want of water. The crop of sugar win De very
sbort in this narish should we have no ram IN a
fsw DAYS. The mild weather we have had Tor
CIV days past has caused the sugar cane TO continue
10 vegetate. Peach trees are NOW Ill lull plooh' as
in the month of April.
we have been informed that some plant cane in
this narish yelded two hogsheads of sugar to the
acre while the RATION only yield about five hun
dred pounds. One planter has just informed us
that thrty-nine acres of rattOOn yielded but twenty
hogsheads of sugar. [Pointe Coupee Echo, No

The weather has again undergone a sudden
change-turning from warm and pleasant, to cold
and chilly. The prospects for rain are very dis
cuuraging. Sugar making is greatly inconve-
nienced, as well as retarded, from the great scar
city Of water. Nearly all the planters on the La
fourche, well as those living back on the CoteGnT,
are now compelled to haul all the water used IN
sugar-making, from the Lafourche-the distan"e
varying from one TO four miles, lIhlbodauX MI

The crops in this parish will be less this year
than ever heretofore. The sugar that will be man
uactured this season will not exceed the two-tnrds
of last years crop The cane yields very little
| juice, which must be ascrbed to the dry weather
which has prevailed for the last month. The quail
ty, however, of the sugar nearly compensates for
the small quantity that will be produced. All over
this and the adjoining parishes, the finest sugar Is
manufactured, yielding scarcely any mOaases.

! We have received fine sample of sugar mede

The Nueces Valley has been almost inundated
| by heavy rains which fell about the 7th instant.
The editor of the Valley says, 1.-THE water fell, as
we have been informed by persons who measured
it, to the depth of twentyone inches, "sI'he rains
| Of Victoria and Bexar were also heavy, but no
near 50 heavy as at Corpus Christi
The late frost experienced in some portions o
the adjoining States, is said to have done materla
damage TO the crops. The cotton crop will PrOba
bly, be reduced one.eighth thereby. IMatagordt
Tribune, Nov, g.
We have now had several killing trOsts, extend
ing probably throughout the cotton region, and cal
now calculate with some certainty to the incum
ing crop. In Mississippi, there will be an early
close OfPicking, and the yield, even with the ia
vorable season for two months past, will hardly
exceed that Of last year. In South Carolina ant
Georgia it is now fixed fact, there will be def
cheney of 600 bales, compared with last year
The crop Of Louisiana may very tte exceed tina
of last year. The accounts from Texas are NOR
favorable, but The crop of that State cannot max
up the deficiency in North Mississippi, Tennessee
Georgia, and Carolina. We think the present Gro
will about equal-prObaby little excsed-that {
last year. and that prices ill still further advance
