took place at Milliken's Bend on Saturday last,
resulting in the death Of Mr.. e. F. Moreland,
oyerseer on the plantation Of Mr.. L. n. Mar
shall.
Mr.. James Cavalier, clerk in the store Of
Mesgfs. Cavalier & Kaufman, and brother to
one Of the firm, had q dispute with Moreland
about some fight; high words passed, and the
latter gentleman slapped the FORMER in the face;
Cavalier then challenged Moreland, but he re-
fused to fight, when 9. told him to prepare, as
the next time they met he would shoot him. The
same dsy Moreland was in carriage; and when
passing Cavaliers store the latter saw him, and
going out, asked him if he were armed. More
land jumped out, with shotgun and re-
volver, and replied that he was; when number
Of shots were fired, and they both fell When
Moreland was picked up it was found that he
had received four balls {the number Of shots
fred by Oavalier) in the arm, thigh, abdomen
and breast; whilst Cavalier received but two
one in the arm, passing near the bone, and The
other in the abdomen. Moreland died in about
"a hours after the occurrence. 1t is though
that Cavalier will recover, as both balls hav,
been extracted. 1t could not be ascertainet
who fred first, as there were no persons presen
ct the time. s74s
The affair has caused the greatest excitement

LouusrANA.-The Houma (Terrebonne) Ceres,
Of the 10th, says
Notwithstanding the extraordinary drought
during the early part Of the present season, the
crops Of this parish present an unusually fine
appearance. Cane, which it was supposed
would weld nothing, has, since the recent rains,
grown rapidly and instead of short crop, the
planters are looking forward to their usual yield
this fall.
The Madison Journal says also, Of the weather
and crops
The weather continues very warm, with an
occasional indication Of rain, which is not JUS
tilted by the result. However, rain is not
needed except to cool the atmosphere Corn is
already made, and will prove most abund-
ant Cotton is doing well, and we noticed at
the beginning of the week, that it was COM
mencing to open.
Red River remains hopelessly low. The Alex
andria Republican Of Saturday last, says:
The river continues to fall, and it is as much
as the little Jean Weber can do to get up to this
point. We have q shower either here or in the
vicinity almost daily, that helps along the crops
and mitigates the intense heat Of the sun. We
are not suffering for anything now much; but q
good, navigable river, and that we will not get
until we have long spell of rain.
The Ouachita is also still in the same predio-
ament. The Ouachita Register of the 10th
says:
The river still continues low indeed, it is
lower than it has been before this season. There
| is now no hope Of q rain sufficient to enable
boats to reach this place during the summer

OUR TERMS.

ny noticing Il terms, our subscribers
will notice that we have made something of
a change in them. Our terms hereafter.
and on all occasions, will be TWO DOL.
LARS per annum, payable within The year.
We have been sinking money by publishing
"ut paper at Sl.5oa year, and we can't
stand 1t any longer. We know that our
subscribers do not desire that we shall lose
money BY publishing our paper, but that
they will cheerfully agree to give us the
two dollars "a year. The reason that we
have raised the subscription price Of our pa
per IS simply this: Paper has advanced
one-half within the last twelve months. -four
ditto labor the same, and every thing else
IN proportion. We had either to cut down
The size OF our paper, or raise the terms. and
we concluded that the latter would be the
most satisfactory to our patrons.
Now we wish it to be distinctly under.
stood, that We will not take, nor will we al
low cur hands, or agents TO take less than
TWO DOLLARS a year for the Sentinel
after this day; and we beg of our patrons
not to bother US or them abou! taking a
dollar aud a half, or any sun less than two
dollars, as WE WILL NOT DO If.
Our readers are looking for this change
IN the price of our paper; as we geye notice
OF it several weeks since.
These that have PAID US or our agents
before this da:e, will be credited at tho rate
OF Sl.5J apyear, but those that have no,
will have TO pay SO, and no mistake.
We tfus! all of our pa'roas viii be satio-
lied with This change. We can assure them
that printing the Sentinel at 81. 50 a year.
WAS a better business when we first took
charge of the paper in 1851, than it will be
now at $500 or even So, 50.
The Democracy of this county should
have as much liberality as their opponents,
the wings. They have always been paying
tw" dollars a year for the Republican; land
iii no larger than the Sentinel, ifas lar1e,(
and its editor Mr.. lIatton says they have
dene so without the least grumbl ng. We
think our Democrolic friends will prove
themselves just as liberal as their opponents,
if not more so.
We wish that our friends would do what
they can for us jus! at this time. We would
like to have a lew new subscribers. Now
who is in this county hat is opposed to pro.
scrlbing a mon on account of HIS birth, will
send US the largest list? Let all do what
they can.
