A LITTLE TRUTH-The Times and Transcript in
discoursing upon the Financial crisis" makes the
following statement
"But times changed The usual winter rains
failed to make their appearance and the miners
were compelled to relinquish their labors. The
interior merchants could make no collections from
those indebted to them for the consumers were un-
employed, and instead of being able to quidate old
dues, required renewed indulgence. Hence the city
jobber fell behind with the consignee, and the lat
ter with the consignor To obviate this evil in
part, banking facilities were sought and obtained
until in a country where the boast has heretofore
been that we had no credit system, it is found that
the money Of those who had deposited their all in
good faith has been loaned out to the mercantile
classes to the extent of millions"
1t is true the rains failed, and that many persons
were thrown out of employment and could not pay
their debts but speaking generally it is not true
that miners are indebted to merchants in the inte-
rior. Merchants are in debt to miners, and mer-
chants of San Francisco largely in debt to the
interior through Bankers who have loaned to them
our deposits, as admitted by the Transcript. Ell
Dorado county has furnished S225,OOO at least, to
the merchants and spectators of San Francisco,
through the house of Adams & Co. Ell Dorado
county mas uOne Hlore eFen lhtl luS uer CieiAoho
have large sums with other Bankers, nearly all of
which is employed by San Francisco in the bust
ness of that city The account is largely in favor
of the interior. Ell Dorado county can pay every
dollar and then have balance of some hundreds
of thousands due her from San Francisco San
Fra ncisco does business on capital; we do not
her dollar, and the pretence that the interior
is indebted to that city is an imposition.
Speaking Of shipments of gold the Transcript
says
awe were astonished to find that the exports for
December, though no dust was coming in, greatly
exceeded those of the same month the year before,
and such has been the case with January and
part of the present month Of course this absorbed
the coin of the country, it did every other des-
crption of treasure, and left our banking houses
the mere recipients Of gold in expectancy
Here is truth; and from this admission it ap-
pears that the productiveness of the mines about
which the city press has been preaching hereto
fore was humbug. Another very consoling truth
also appears; it is this that the 'con of the coun-
try" and ''every other description of treasure left
the banking houses and went out of the country,
so that now the Banks are dry as a contribution
box, and are engaged in the laudable undertaking
of waiting for ain expecting the miners to replen
ish their empty vaults. 1t may rain but gentle
men you will not get the gold. We do not owe
you single cent, and more, we do not believe you
are responsible, and will not trust you until you
pay the half million you now owe us.

o. The Abolitionists despair Of elect
ing an nti-Nebraska man for the Presi-
dency, if the election goes to the House
Of Representatives. The constitution pro.
vides that the vote shall be taken by States,
the Representative from each State having
one vote; and majority Of all the States
shall be necessary for choice. There
are thiry.one States, sixteen being a ma
jority. There are fifteen Slave States,
not one of which would vote for an Anti.
Nebraska man. In addition TO this, Cal
ifornia has alected two pro-slavery DEM
Gratis, and Iowa has divided delegation.
This makes it tolerably certain that, should
The issue be the Nebraska question, the
vote will be favorable to the South. The

FOR REPRES.EN7YVE,

We learn that the American party Of this
parish have nominatedCol. J. B. ROBERT
son, as candidate for Representative to
the General Assembly Of the State. 1t
is thought by members Of the party, who
are pretty well posted in regard to the
matter, that the nominate is equal to
an election, and that Col. X. will go into
House Of Representatives, with major
ity Of at least, ONE HUNDRED AND TWEEN
Ty.FIvE votes. Well, we don't know
about that. However, we see only one
impeachment to his election, and that is his
name has not yet appeared before the peo-
pie in q constitutional form. He has not
yet authorised US to announce him as a
candidate, through the columns of the
Ceres. And until this is done, it is worse
than fallacy for him to dream Of being
elected.
We also learn that delegates were ap-
pointed to u convention to be held in Thib-
odaux, to select candidate for Senator.

TheCrops.

The prospect for good crop in this
parish were never better than at present.
Our planting community were nsver in
better spirits, and our parish now presents
prosperous and flourishing condition.
No fevers, no sickness, plentiful crops
theses and kindred blessings are ours.
A friend, writing from the interior of ILL.,
nois. says; "Crops were never better, in
this section Of country, than at present.
Corn is is selling at from 20 10 IS cents
per bushel, and before two months it will
be sold at 10 cents. Wheat has declined
IS cents on the bushel, and may now be
purchased readily at 81" Accounts from
Tennessee are OF the same character. An
exchange publishes letter from Syracuse
Mills, Tenn, which says that wheat is so
abundant that it is selling at so cents per
bushel; and corn, which during the past
winter and spring sold for 81, may now
be had at 30 cents. The Missouri papers
say more corn will be raised in that State
this year, than for any five years before.
Much Of the wheat land averages forty
bushels per acre. Flour is selling in Gin.
cinnati at % per barrel. From every
section Of the country we have the most
glowing accounts Of the crops. and the
prospects for cheap and good living are
very flattering.
