THE CRops-We have taken some pains du-
ring the week in collecting information in regard
to the growing crops, and from all the reliable
information we can gather, we hesitate not Iii
stating that the prospects so far for fair average
crops of cane and corn are quite fattering. The
cane crop, which up to within a week or two
past was somewhat backward, has greatly i'm
proved of late in consequence OF rain, which
was much needed. The corn crop promises
finely, and should no unusual cause intervene
before it shall arrive at maturity, the quantity
produced will be abundant, and quite sufficient
to meet the demand. The crops of onions, Irish
and sweet potatoes are very promising, and our
small farmers will be enabled to realize a living
from the fruits of their industry, should prices
continue to hold near proximity to their
present scale. The prospects Of both cane and
corn on the Rienzi plantation, belonging to
NTessrs Mitchell and Egana, one of the largest
in the State, are represented to us as being by
far the most advanced Of any in this vicinity.
The cane crop on this place consists of one year
old ration and plant; and the number Of hogs
heads to be made the ensuing season will ex-
ceed perhaps, twenty-three hundred.

THE RAILRoAD-On Thursday evening last,
together with couple of friends, we took
drive down to the railroad-that is to be-about
three and a half miles below our town, to note
the progress of the work. Although the con-
tractors, Messrs. Bates & Co., have but just
arrived and fitted up their camps, the embank-
ment has already attained an elevation of six
or seven feet for a distance of several hundred
yards. It's greatest altitude on the immediate
bank of the Lafourche will be about fifteen feet,
affording ample space for the passage of horses
and vehicles beneath. The contractors appear
to be very energetic and persevering, and are
disposed to rush on the work with the greatest
alacrity: Since their arrival here, the past
week. Il large number of laborers have left; but
others have been sent for to supply their place
q Sun stroke" we learn, is quite common among
the hands, many of whom are yet fresh in the
country and unaccustomed to the rays of a
southern SYN. It is intended, so soon as the
water shall have sufficiently receded to drain
the swamp into the bayou, which will greatly
facilitate sscribbing," the plan which the con-
tractors are of opinion will be the one that Will
be adopted for crossing it. The bridge, which
is to cross the Lafourche is to be constructed
for no other than the railroads purposes, and
consequently will not exceed fifteen feet in
width It is to be a pivot bridge.

CRIME IN LoNDoN.-The foreign correspon-

recent letter to that paper from Europe, states
that there is en- official and recent report Oh the
neral and social condition Of the Children in
London that is entitled to press on the sympa-
tbies Of Mrs Stowe and her British auxiliaTies.
Under the head, s'Children at large" the report
gives an abstract of returns of the children be-
low the apparent age Of fourteen, found by the
poliee as mentlieants and thieves, as follows:
Without parents, 94; having parents who ap-
near to be in condition Of life to maintain and
educate them, 231; having parents capable OF
contributing to their maintenance and education.
$50: whose parents send them to beg and live
in ideness and prohigacy ON their earning, All ;
total number Of children at large 1916. The
total number of children in the common lodging
houses is 1882. which number, added to the for
mer. 1916. gives total of juvenile thieves and
mendicants amounting to 1898. The number OF
children at large and living i'll dleness without
education, and apparently neglected by their
nareuts. of the lower classes, who are generally
in the receipt of wages, amounting, as nearly as
can be ascertained, to 20,641 uder Is years Of

LALE AND IMPORTANT FROM CnINA:-l'ro-
qress of tie Rs5eylton.-The New York CONNER
cial publishes a series of private telegraphic
dispatches, received from Trieste, on the arri-
val there of the overland mail, by London
mercantile house of the first responsibility, and
largely engaged in the China and India trade.
They are transmitted to house in New York
of equal responsibility, and engaged extensively
in the same trade. The first of these des
patches mentions that it was reported the in
surgents had possession Of Nankin. There was,
it is added no change in the quotations for tea
and unbleached silk at Canton ON the Sth April.
The second despatch is as follows, from the same
source:
t.rhe Hong Kong Gazette of April 1stf the
latest date received here, has intelligence from
Shanghai to the 2sth of Mrrch. Nothing posi-
tive was known respecting the fate of Nankin.
These were no commercial adylces from Shang-
hal, business being at stand. A brig and four
European war steamers were at that port. but
nothing further was known at Hong Kong"
In addition to these dispatches the CONNER
cal has been placed npossession of one addressed,
also from Trieste, on the arrival of the mail, to
another London firm, as follows:
''The insurgents have taken the exterior walls
of Nankin. and the place must fall into their
hands. All business is stopped. Sir n. Bon
ham did not interfere"
1t will be seen that the above dispatches are
somewhat contradictory. Merchants in New
York express the very confident belief that the
report of the intervention of England, France
and the United States will prove to be without
foundation and has arisen from the simple fact
that force had been placed at Shanghai to
guard the lives and property Of foreign residents.

A MELANCHOLY SlGuT.-Dr. Ried, traveller
through the highlands of Perm, is said to have
found lately IN the desert of Aacama. the dried
remains of an assemblage of beings, five or six
hundred in number, men, women and children,
seated in a senii-circle, as when alive, staring
into the burning waste before them. They had
not been buried life had not departed before
they thus sat around, but hope was gone, the
Spanish invaders were at hand, and no escape
being left, they had come hither to die. They
still sat immoyable in that dreary desert; dried
like nlummics by the effect of the hot air, they
still kept their position, sitting up as a solemn
council while over that dread Areopague silence
broods eyer1ansting1y. a-~.
