THE CROPS.

L-
Owing to the lightness of the cotton crops,
the farmers have pretty nearly completed their
iabors u gathering it about here. Higher up
on the Bayous there is still much Of it in the
fields remaining to be gathered. The corn
crop IN the aggregate is abundant, although in
some sections there is scarcity, owing to the
long drought we had last spring and summer.
Cane is not doing well anywhere. From all
we are able to learn the yield is very light, and
the quality of the sugar anything but 4~irstrate.
The deficiency Of the yield may probably be
attributable to the interiority Of the stand, and
the quality to the want of maturity in the
plant.
In the early part of the growing season, the
weather was so exceedingly dry that the plant
made little progress in its growth, and not
until it should hare been ripening, dit it get
its size.
On an average the yield is not over one
hogshead per acre.

!. England to Govern the south.,'

EE " HE EI ~ -- " ~ Z
We clip this startling caption from an Ala
bama exchanges. 1t sounds strangely enough,
and yet our readers may not be aware that it
is the prediction Of the great Jupiter Tonans
Of the British press, the London Times? Our
sectional agitatiens and animosities have
reached Europe. The enemies Of Republican
institutions there have heard Of the threats Of
disunion in which our demagogues and fanatics
hnbitually indulge and for which they are To-
boring, and the prospect Of our downfall as a
nation gives them the ~liveliest emotions Of sat
isfaction. If our Union could by any posi-
bility be destroyed, despotism the world over
would keep jubilee. Despots would dismiss
their fears and fee secure behind the hoary fast
nesses which centuries Of power and oppression
have raised up between them and their, sub
Diects.
The London Times not only r~ejoices in the
prospect of our destruction, but emboldened by
the reports Of our domestic feuds, actually pre-
diets that the event will take place within three
years. And as if to add insult to the prophecy,
declares that England will kindly take the
Southern States under its loving care, in the
same way, we suppose, in which the hungry
wolf takes care ofsthe contiding lamb. The
following is the extract from the article in the
Times to which we allude
" 1t is clearly demonstrated in the recent elections,
that the, people of those States termed Southern
States, had rather ~coalescc wife Great Britain, than
the other part-or those States not recognizing Afri-
can slavery. We predict, {and mark the prediction
that If not at the next Congress, it will not be three
years before the American Republic will be dissolv-
ed, and the Southern States will be taken under the
protection Of England. We want no better evidence
Of a future Of the American Government than the
late elcctiOns.n
A correspondent, writing from Paris, of the
National I%ntelligencer, says that the belief in
our approaching downfall as a nation is extern
sively prevalent in Europe, and is every where
hailed by the advocates of monarchy with de-
light, and as q proof of the failure Of our sys-
tenn of government. He further says that the
very idea Swallowed forth in the obove para
graph from the London Times is very generally
adopted by those who profess to be well posted
up in our affairs. If there is any thug that
ought to "crush out " every vestige of disunion
from every Southern citizen it ought,to be this
loathsome idea Of a British protectorate over
the Southern States. How long in such an
event would it be before the legislation that
reduced Jamaica from q state of prosperity al
most to a barren desert would be brought to
bear upon the planters of the now happy and
hourishing Southern States? That the Abo-
l%itionists would be highly delighted With such
a state Of things is almost certain. T>would
be the consummation Of their wishes. But
how would Southern Nullifers like it I? [BuI-

THE BRIDGE AT WASHINGTON

This work is going on as rapidly as possible
and in the course of enc month more, will
probably be completed.
The late heavy rains have forcibly illustrated
the absolute necessity of a good and substantial
bridge there. such as is in process of erection.
Messrs. Lyon Il Hnson, the undertakers of the
work, are putting up, what we conceive to be
a splendid and durable bridge, and inasmuch as
the Inconvenience of not having one is %incalcu-
liable, we hope they may soon, very soon have
il completed.
