ness than can be afforded by visit to the Pass
Montgomery's is alive with the fashion and

his generosity and fine taste have engaged.
With such catering to the public taste, Mont

The Southwestern published Mt Shreveport
OF the 9th ult contains the following items
Cotton in this parish is suffering much from
the effects Of heavy rains. Accounts from
Hampstead county, Dark of the 10Th inst
represent tue weather as dry and warm; high
ly favorable to the growing crops, which have
improved greatly of late The cotton generally
in that section is equal if not superior to the
crop at this time last year
The Jefferson Herald, OF Saturday, says that
severe wind passed over lhat place on Thurs
day evening, which it fears did some damage to
the crops
Shreveport was visited on the same evening
by the heaviest squall OF wind We have had Tor
the last twelve months IL was accompanied hy
rain which gave promise Of Il second deluge

The town Of Greenwood, in this parish, is the
first place in the Red River country to refuse
granting Of license TO sell liquor At an cleo
ton held on the 10Th inst the vote wag: For no
license 81 for license 81 We learn that the
question will be again tested in Shreveport at
the November election
The Shreveport Democrat of the 2sth ult
says;
Since our last issue we have had about two
days OF sunshine, Two heavy rains have fallen,
and many lighter showers, with threatening

We have made strict inquiries and can hear
OF but very little sickness Of a serious oharac-
ter. A considerable number of light cases have
occurred, but most of them have been easily
controlled by our physicians. Intermittent and
fehlttent levers, and affections Of the bowels,
are the prevalent forms Some few coses Of
bloody tiux have occurred, which have proved
somewhat difficult of management, bur there has
been no fatal case Of the kind ne far as we can

Mobile Letter
Correspondence Of tbs Crescent.

| Correspondence Of tbe Crescent.
| mobile, July, 90, 1858
| .HesSrs, Editors: The long protracted season
of wet weather gave place on Thursday last, to
a strong South East wind, clear horizon and q
golden sunset. The eastern shore of Mobile
Bay displayed a mirage of surprising beauty,
whilst the little Junior, the floating star in the
gorgeous panorama, with her happy freight
gracefully cut the blue waters en- route for
Point Clear The Junior is certainly the ne
Plus ultra of watering place packets, and Capt.
10 always appears to be in good humor with his
patrons and the rest Of mankind" The trip
to Point Clear is really delightful, and the ae-
commodations at the hotel are not surpassed by
any establishment of the kind in the south.
The salt bathing is no doubt superior to any
| other place accessible to New Orleans; whilst
the sea airi is strong and inYigorating At
Daphne and Hollywood, as well as Point Clear.
the worthy propretors are prepared to accom-
modate great deal of company, but people
have gone to the North, to the great " Worlds
Fair" and fear that neither Of these desira-
bic retreats will have the patronage they de-
serve during the present season
This city is remarkably dull--no excitement
but few arrivals and departure of steamers,
and ! believe there are but four square rirqel
vessels in the Bay. 1t is yet quite healthy, and
the late rains have quenched the parehed earth
and done great good to suffering vegetation
| understand that many citizens are holding
residences IN the piny woods, along the line of
Mobile and Ohio Railroad and that already the
cars are daily trelghted with suburban passen-
gers. The people here seem to be firmly united
in favor Of works of internal improvement, and
to this fact, III after years will be ascribed the
cause of their success
contract has lately been closed between
some of the heavy merchants Of this city, and
Sidney D. Porter, Esq, the accomplished naval
for the construction Of clipper shin
Of the burthen Of 2200 tons Her model has
been approved, and by some good judges pro
nounoed very superior. The timber for the shin
will be cut upon the Alabama river, in the VI
cinity OF ClaibOre. The frame will be entirely
Of oak, and from present indications no pains
VIII be spared to produce model ship. Mobile
has already sent one ship to sea, built within
The last year, and before the expiration Of an
other her ship yards bid fair to be crowd
ed with work. In this State there is no bounty
law to encourage ship building, but IL is to be
hoped that her Legislature viii follow the exam
pie Of Louisiana, and pass law that will slim
llate the building of all steamboats, as well rs |
ships within her own borders Such a law IL |
highly essential to keep within the State the |
immense amount Of money which is annually |
expended at the North and West to the great
ietriment Of our own mechanics, and paralizipg
20 all manufactures which draw their existence
rom this great branch Of domestic industry.
Yours respectfully, SouruRoN.

WHY DON'T THEY GIVE CREDIT Some time

CHARITABLE DONATIONS the many
liberal donations for the relief of the SICK in the
resent stringent necessities Of the times, we
notice a gift of $500 by the Crescent Mutual
Insurance Company of this city.
.Weunderstand, also, that our esteemed fellow
townsman, H r. W. Hill, Esq, in aseharacter-
istio spirit of lberahty has instructed his agent
here to contribute not less than 500 per week
for the relief of those taken down with the epi-
demic or other diseases. Although from the
known liberality of Mr.. Hill much might be
expected of him on the appeal of suffering hui
manity, yet his contributions under the present
trying circumstances have been much greater
than we had right to expect Mr.. Hill will
have the qualification of feeling that he has
alleviated load of human suffering, which, to
the sympathizing mind is productive of more
heartfelt satisfaction than the possession of mere
wealth can bestow. Will not others, fully MS
able, come forward and initiate the above men
toned examples. AZ

DR. MCFARLANE ON FIufI4Y STREETS, 1.-The
gentleman whose name heads this article, wrote
q few days ago, letter to the Delta, in which
he gave us substantially to understand that
filth was prcservatiye of health, and that the
Street Commissioner, in failing to clean the
streets, had conferred o substantial public
favor. The Doctor came out again yesterday in
the same paper with communication, in which
he reiterated this extraordinary doctrine. lie
assumes the Homeopathic theory, that the va
rious Acherontic fumes that exhale from every
street, courtyard and gutter, by creating in
the human system,a novel disease which we may
designate by the coined term of Fumo- conden-
seritis, etfectually guards it against all other
maladies. The Doctors theory is very con
venient one in the present Strengthened state Of
the public finances. If adopted by the Board of
Health, it will save the scattering of some
thousand barrels Of lime, and holders of that
article may take the hint to relax somewhat in
the high prices demanded for it..
In view of the adoption of the new theory, we
would also advise the Board of Health to make
liberal appropriations for purchase of poison
ed sausages, in order that the numerous canine
hordes may be made g to put on Immortality, y
and to strew the thoroughfares with their
bloated carcasses. The era of clean linen, too,
must have an end, and one change a week will
hereafter be sufficient. 1t may promote health
and save washing bills
What with these reforms in personal clean
illness, the gathering together of scattered filth
in piles, so as to give it concentrated power, we
may look for the thorough route of all pest-
lence.
1t is really ridiculous to assume that offensive
matter operates as protection against the yell
low fever, for although it may not directly pro-
duce that scourge of our city, it certainly debi-
litates the system, and renders it more suseep-
tible to the disease. 1t is q well-known fact
that those who are uncleanly in their persons,
and who dwell in the flthiest sections of the
city, have been victims to the fever Indeed, if
filth be protection, then ought NewOrleans be
the healthiest city in the world
N. B.--Would it not be well, in pursuance of
DR.. McFarlanes theory, to have public labo-
ratory established, where all manner of nauseat-
ing fumes may be chemically evolved, and fur
nished to every citizen to be carried in d nose
bag' How about that
