helpless children, it is melancholy to contem-
plate. Wonderfully hard that Mr.. Lafargue
should have to labor for a living there are
none in this country who do 1T is SO de-
grading. And his aged wlfe-how old, we
ask, was she when her husband was removed
from office by Democratic Gov. Mouton be-
cause he was a Wing? And then these help
less children-where, True American were
the father and mother, and where the house and
lot in which Mr.. Lafargue lived, which he saved
in the failure of his son-in-law, and another
house and lot that rented for 800 q month ?
Truly, the concealment of these few items ena-
bled you to tell d touching story, which, no
doubt, has further damned the KNOWN othings
in the estimation of the credulous.
In noticing this matter, we mean no disre-
spect to Mr.. Lafargue at oil, and only notice
it to show that the fabric upon which True
American -" POUNDS his article is fimsy, and
won't bear handling.

OrELoUsAs AcADEMY.-We attended the ev-
hibition on Thursday evening last of some of
the classes in this excellent institution. and
were well pleased with the manner in which the
pupils acquitted themselves. Many, in their
recitation, dialogues, etc, cvinced the possess
sion OF talents of a high order, giving the lam
guage with a business, force and beauty all the
more agreeable because unexpected. Alto.
gether, the exhibition was very creditable to
both teacher and pupils-and we congratulate
Mr.. Rand upon his success.
1t is not so creditable, however. to the nuh-
TIC spirit OF the people of Opelousas that no
better Accommodations ore provided for such
purposes. Education, certainly, is worth more
Than a room about twelve by twenty-five where

: embryo Presidents" On Thursday evening
although the audience was not very large. after
seating the ladies, no room to sneak Of was
!elt for the sterner sex. There was a door fill
OF them and many could not obtain so eligible
a situation This should be attended to.

THE CROPS HERE AND ELSEWHERE

-
We are pleased to say that notwithstanding
the unexemplcd drouth which has prevailed in
this portion of the State, there is yet much to
excite our hopes and allay our fears. In va
rious portions of the Parish, we learn, the corn
is looking fresh and vigorous, and if we could
even now have abundant rains, average yields
might be expected. We learn also that in some
places the cotton is doing well but, generally
speaking, it is very small and scattering. There
are some exceptions, too, to the cane crop. as in
some ncighborhoods, particularly in the Belle
yue Settlement, the cane is looking remarkably
well. On the bayous, however, it is very un-
promising generally, and because of the injury
both to the plant and the stubblc, and the
small amount planted, it will be impossible to
make, as we have before stated, over q half
crop in St. Landry.
From the northern part of this State, por-
ton of Arkansas and Texas, we have been re-
ceiving recently more favorable accounts, and
it is not improbable that good crops of both
corn and cotton will yet be made, they having
had in many places scasonable and refreshing
rains. Since our last issue, we have had some
light rains in various parts of this Parish.
which have done much good. Here, however,
tbs as dry as a powder-horn.

SOUTHERN PLANTERS CONVENTION

Our readers should bear in mind the public
alton, a few weeks since, of the circular inviting
delegates to attend the Convention to be held
at Cooper's Wells, in Mississippi, on the 4th
Of July next.
1t is now time our people were beginning to
think Of the matter and we can but express
our wish to see some action taken by the citi-
zens of st. Landry. Let somebody move in
this important business, by calling a meeting
here or elsewhere, at as early a day as practi-
cable. for the purpose of appointing delegates.
Certainly we should have appreciation and
public spirit enough to sanction the call of the
Convention and aid in the objects desired.
We are largely interested in a pecuniary point
of view. Let it not be said that st. Landry,
in many respects the first Parish of the State,
needed not the invitation, and so little under
stood her interests as to have no delegate in
attendance!

" Every body knows that a large proportion Of the
European population who seek an asylum from op-
preston and poverty in this free and prosperous land
come here in IL state bordering on destitution-tha
they are without the changes of rainent necessary
to cleanliness and healtll-that they are consequently
tltlly in the extreme, particularly the Germans, and
nave their systems charged with typhus fever and
and want of publication. Some of these people are
paupers from the work-house and criminals from the
jail. or course, Castle Garden will be infested with
verlnln, and infected with contagious disease. to saw
nothing of moral pollution"
The above is the language of a foreigner, in
an editorial of the " Citizen" the Irish organ
in the United States. What say you to it?
The American party need hereafter say
nothing about the quality of immigrants to
this country. Heretofore, when they have
treated the subject in the same terms as does
the -" Citizen" they have been denounced in
unmeas'red language, and many tcnder-hcarted
men were so stirred up that they wished for an
opportunity to embrace the poor slandered for
elgner, when touching the shores of America,
and give him a welcome. We advise all such
to go to NewYork, where their love and ten
derness will grow +" small by degrees, and beau
tifully less"
The above extract was taken from an article
Directing to the occupation of Castle Garden
by the Commissioner of Emigration as o place
OF reception for emigrants.
