Plaquemine and it's Prospects.

No one who takes interest in the prosperity of
our town, and who has watched its rapid growth
in population and business for the last four or
five years, but must be highly pleased and en-
couraged with the bright prospects of a still
more rapid advancement in the future. AL.
though PlaQuemine has met with misfortunes
within the time mentioned, each one sufficient
it would seem to check beyond remedy the
growth of any village, yet, all those evils have
had no percep,ibIe disadvantageous effect here,
however great they may have been. While a
large portion of the parish has been overAowed
for two or three years, thereby causing a loss
of crops and making money scarce and limited
in circulation, the front street of our town has
been almost wholly lost by cavings-in of the
bank, destroying 4 great amount of valuable
property; a great portion Of the town was
likewise overtiowed within this time, while fire.
too, came down upon US with its scourge, TO
make still greater our distresses; yet, notwith,
standing these ~reverses, our carpenters and
bricklayers have been kept steadily at work, and
finer buildings and more of them have gone up
during these misfortunes than were ever built
in any former period of similar length.
While thus outwardIy our town has gone
on prospecting, there are few who have not Sc
rlousIy felt the pecuniary pressure of the last
two or three years. But now that we have an
almost unexampled season for good crops,
we may naturally expect that money will be
abundant and that all can get hold of it who
have industry and credit. More lively, then
must be business Of every description, if the
present is the starting point for that good for
tune which we have so long been rid of; and
those who in their business have kept up a
manly dignity, and struggled along thus far
with indomitable patience and perseverance,
will assuredly now reap the products of these
virtues, and glide along peacefully and cheer
fully in the future. And the advantage which
this change must have upon the growth of our
must be very great. If we have heard
almost continually from our office the trowe'
and the hammer during a long period of pecu-
mary mlstortunes, how may We expect those
Joyous sounds of industry and enterprise to
ring about our ears now that this dark period in
our history has passed. If new streets have
grown up in buildings and business, when the
death>knell of business and build.
ngs was being sounded, what must now re-
suit? Nothing, to our mind, but a brilliant fu-
ure of which few have any conception. We
lave within Us industry and energy; let neith-
r of these qualities lag in any department of
BUSINESS in which our citizens are engaged, and
'ur town cannot fail to prosper, though mis-
may come to mar and to cripple.

Bayou Plaquemins.-The river has been flow
ing into this bayou for the past week, and is
nearly in nasigable order. This rise is early,
but we believe it occurred thus soon two years
since, and continued in good navigable order
till late in the spring. We congratulate our
Crosse Tete friends if this should be the case
the present season, Or any season, as such an
occurrence must be o great advantage to them.
