Louisiana.
Nothing goes 90 far to Indicate the rapidly III
creasing prosperity Of our State as the numbers
Of well-edited and well -patronized newspapers
which are spriDging mp in every part The
country press Of Louisiana is now, perhaps,
equal to. that Of any other State Of the South.
1t is fast gaining ground in dignity and inssiil-
genee not only, but in point Of numbers We
have just received the first number Of a rather
good looking weekly, entitled the BienvilIe
Times, published at Mount Lebanon, Biensills
Parish, BY II. Lee, Esq. II il we'll editss, and
will doubtless be well patronized.
The stable of Mr.. c. B. Chinn. Of West Felt
ciana parish, was burned to the ground and,
sad to relate, some twenty four head Of horses
and mules perished ID the fames sS.S
An attempt was made, we learn from the Con-
cordia Intelligencer, on the 10Th inst to Iasir-
der and rob the owners of trading boat in that
parish. The boat was owned BIZ two young
men, brothers, which had arrived at the place
the afternoon previous. The plot was revealed
by faithful negro employed on the boat. WHO
stated that he and his comrades had been pro-
posed to by q white man named Daniel Porter,
TO perform the dabolcal deed, upon which con-
dition they we're to be taken to . free states
The negroes pretended to consent to the proposed
act and met Porter at z o'clack IN the morning
and made q pretended attack upon riIe boat
and, firing their pistols, convinced Porter TINT
they had killed the persons on board, when he
going aboard, was secured by party of men
