THE SUGAR CRoP.--We have unfavor.
able accounts from all quarters Of the
sugar crop. Tn. lbberville Gazette OF
Saturday last, says:
"ln every section Of our parish the
crops are miserable, AN sris now very
generally believed. no matter how favor
able the weather may become. that the
aggregate crop of this year cannot aver
age more than one half that Of the pre-
vious one"
The Alexandria (Rapides parish) Re-
publican. Of Saturday last. says:
We have lately received accounts OF
the sugar crop of the most deplorasle
character. Ii seems the long drought we
have had has ruined-almost entirely de-
stroyed it. The plant cane is complete
" dried up, leaving not the first sisn or
prospect of its ever going 10 seed. and the
ra;toon cane for the most part, is equally
as unpromising. Il is thought that the
growing crop will not turn out as much
cane as will be required for seed next
year. and that if the condition of the
crop in other parts of the State j. mol
better than ii is here, there will be not
only no sugar made. but that seed will
have to be imported from abroad.
The Frsnklin Planters Banner, OF Tues
day last. says:
"Poor as the young cane OF ST. Mary
looks, it is infinitely superior 10 any we
have seen between :his parish and New
Orleans. In many places it would be
difficult, to tell that cane had been plant

patches show that the plant is endeavor.
