The Sugar Crop

From continued information we incidentally

Whatever ia asserting that the crop Of sugar

SEQ 70 say the truth aboutthe prospects Of our
chief products, to say nothing. 1t is a general
complaint that the cane yields remarkably lit.
tie sugar to the acre, from causes which we are
not prepared to explain. We sincerely trust,
however, that our planters will get a good
price for what they do make; for they are the
natural bankers Of the business community and

learn the importance Of subscribing for and
reading the country paper, but also in watching
the fluctuations of the market.

Articles.

There is nothing which gives a country pa
per such on ~interes. and value as its Agricul.
tural articles. We are sorry to admit, however,
that through neglect mainly attributable to the
excitement of politics, this important matter
has hitherto been almost entirely overlooked.
tensive exchange list gives US a fine opportuni-
ty to give weekly, interesting selections upon
this topic, and we will certainly take advantage
of it, particularly as there is nothing now
of a political character which demands our
space and we have almost a mind to say that
we trust there never may be again. But to
give the fullest interest to our agricultural dee
partment, we call upon the planters themselves
of the parish, over their proper or anonymous
signatures, and at their leisure moments, to
furnish US occasionally a few remarks, from
their knowledge and experience, respecting the
best modes of cultivation, &C., Of their various
products-the best and most economical me-
thod of conducting their plantations--and all
other matters which the planter so well knows
is of the deepest interest to those who pursue
his proud and Independent vocation. By doing
this, our columns will not only be enriched by
most valuable information, but it will be the
means of informing and improving each other
materially in a science upon which there cam
not be too much understood, and which is vet,
to our mind, in comparative infancy.
Shall our appeal 60 unanswered and unno. !
We sincerely trust that it will not.

Our readers have observed for years the ad.
vertisement in our paper of this old and well
established house, in New Orleans. There ia
certainly none in the city, among the many new
Sadlery establishments that have sprung up
there within late years, that can at all compare
to it in the variety and extensiveness of its
stock-the extent of its trade, nor with the
liberal terms upon which its goods are sold to
men. We trust that merchants in this
quarter, when they visit New Orleans to make
their purchases, will not pass it by for one more
modern in its origin for its!reputation is too
high for selling good goods and selling them
cheap, to believe that our friends can do bet
ter at any other house of the kind.

them, that no more remembrance mighthe had
