PARISH OF PLAQuRMINEs, Oct n. ls5l.
Eds. Crescent-'fs IL an Unprecedented week
IN the annals Of the Empire Parish" PLAQUE.
mines has always been famed for its litigation, but
this term of Court-to the utter disappointment Of
the tavern keepers of Pointe ala. Hache, (for the
sessions Of Court are harvest times for them)-has
been of unusually short duration, having lasted
but one day. At the opening of Court Yesterday,
there seemed TO be a singular anxiety on the par,
Of certain lawyers, for an immediate adjournment
Of the Court. This singular zeal among the mem.
bers OF the bar, to push business, seemed to DUE
.le not little many of the bystsnders, and as ye,
the mystery has not been solved it wss WHISPERED
however, among the crowd, that there was some
little electioneering to be done. This mornina
there seemed to be great deal more willingness
on the part of our Pointe aa.H achians to believe
the story, from the fact Of large boat having been
seen padding down the river, in which were Ger.
tam lawyers. the Judge, and our representative
from the parish Of jefferson. But believe me, am
altogether unwilling to place any credence in any
sucn calumny upon our worthy members Of the bar
The political campaign has now opened in right
good earnest; but the squabble this time seems moi
to be between the two political partes but entirely
among the candidates for the different local Offices
fof each of which there are any number of asp
rants. As for the Congressional canvass, very little
70 said on either side. Mr.. St. Martin, in his tout
through the parish some weeks ago, did not seem
TO create much sensation among the democracy
on the contrary, his tone seemed to have generated
desire in many to get peep of the opposing can
dldate, but as yet Mr.. Hagan has not made his ap
psarance among u.s. His friends say little; but thi,
Is no sign Of any GOODNESS on the part of his whie
brethren, for some of the leaders are willy polit
clans, and you can not always tell from their ina
nouvres. The vote in the parish will undoubtedly

minessvill influence materially thk chances of ethel

We had grand concert in the Court-h house last
evening, given by a Mr.. Meyer, a German arlis
from New Orleans, who has been spending the sum
mer in the parish, assisted by confrere from .hs
city. One Of Creole bellies of the parish figured
as an amateur on the piano. This was quite rar,
treat to our Plaqueminites.
Several of our planters have already commenced
making sugar-among others Messrs. White ant
Iruffant and McCutcheon-but have been unab
to ascertain how the cane was yielding Tn
crops of the parish are very ordinary. There ar
some few planters who have succeeded very vel
this year, but the crop of the parish will undoubt
