"THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN MAssAcHUsErTs-No
OBJECTION ON ACCOUNT OF CoLoR-There appears to
be some prospect of the passage, by the new Amer
ican party of the Massachusetts, Legislature Of law
providing for the admission into the common school
of children of the Africa on footing of equali-
ty with the descendants of the original Puritans.
This may do for Massachusetts,, perhaps but it
strikes us that it is poor expedient of aid and
Know Nothings of the North choose to admit white,
black and yellow children upon the common level of
equality into their public schools, the Know Moth
ings Of the South must secede from them, or be
disbanded. No party in the South can cooperate
with any party in the North which attempts to en-
force, socially politically this ultra-aboltion dac
trine of amagamation. Of late we have been puz-
zled to guess and should like know, what the
national principles of this new American party in
Massachusetts,? They hold the Legislature with
scarcely opposing voice against them in either
house. What is the meaning Of this new bill, con-
sultng it in reference to the campaign Of 1856 Is
it a sectional a national movement? measure of
peace or agitation? conservative aboitions We
should like to know"

he pleases to the injury of the man who leaves,

General Concha. 1t is said he issued special orders
that of his family should follow his remains to

LouIsIANA.-In relation to planting prospects, the
Opelousas Patriot of Saturday last says:
There has not been so gloomy prospect for the
sugar planters of this country the present since
the culture of cane to any considerable extent was
begun. From almost every planter we hear COM
plants. small amount of seed cane was in the
first place put up, and such was the injury it sus-
tained that when planting half at least was re-
jected-in some places the whole. An unusually
small amount of stubble remains, which in
many places seems to be much injured; and Of the
plant cane, none has yet appeared above the ground
there being scarcely moisture enough in the earth to
make it sprout-
Under these circumstances it is not an unsafe CAL
culaton to say that the sugar crop Of the parish can
not under the most favorable circumstances of wea
ther and season, reach another year within thirty
three per Of the crop Of the past and that shows
at least twenty-five per cent of falling off from the
crop of 1853 Touching the cotton and corn crops,
q large pitch has been made, and, with o favorable
season. far better yield may be anticipated than the
last year. The cold weather and the drought render
cheney OF time to make good crops as if that which
was cut down by the frost of last week had been left
standing.
We learn from the Patriot that the cold and back
ward spring, together with the long continued
drought is telling fearully upon the vaccaran inter-
ests Of this and the parish of Calcaseu. The Patri
| OF says:
have died from hunger and thirst The cold and the
drought of the winter destroyed every particle o
grass upon our prairies and that being the subsis.
tence Of our cattle mostly, they become, matter
of course, very poor. Recently the ponds in the
prairies have all dried up, forcing the cattle to resort
these, many bog and mire, and hot having strength
| enough to extricate themselves, there perish. II

dying daily. s -.,- ...- .a.g5.,sf, ....s,e
