UWe return thanks to Messrs. HALL, ROOD
& PUTNAM, Commission Merchants of New
Orleans, for copy of their Annual CONNER
cial Circular and Price Current, from which
we make the following extract respecting the
Sugar Crop of the present year:
1t is with regret we are compelled to
announce that our information from every
quarter of the Sugar region of our State,
obtained from the most reliable and ex-
perienced planters, forbid our encourag-
lug the hope ofeven a moderate crop; the
Weld will be smaller than ever known in
Louisiana, in proportion to the quantity of
land in cultivation; various estimates are
made, at from $4,000 to 5000 hogs
heads; we would rather estimate it at as
approximating to, but under 100000
~hogsheads, Thar over that number; many
will not have cane for planting, others
will have to save all for planting and CON
sequentIy will o grind, and many who
can spare will sell the cane in preference
to making Sugar. Now would be a most
favorable time to obtain a supply of new
seed from the Island or Mexico. The
cause ofthis rapid depreciation of product
from the enormous yield of 1853, has Civ
en- rise to serious alarm, and will lead to
the most earness investigation of the
cause, and the most active efforts to re-
move it. The stock on hand now in the
State is about 5000 hogsheads, against
10000 hogsheads, last year, and if the
season is favorable, the grinding will be
deferred by most persons until the latest
possible period of safety, from a desire to
realize all they can, as prices will UNI
doubtedly rule higher during this season
than for the past fifteen years, perhaps,
than ever known. The consumption Of
the West during the past year having
been $1,000 ~hogsheads more than can be
produced this, and within 10000 hogs
heads of the consumption of the previous
year, with her stock now so reduced that
she is buying foreign Sugar in the North
ern markets at high prices, and transport
ing by Railroad at enormous rates of
freight; therefore as New Orleans has
been during the past season so it will
continue to be during the ensuing season,
the best market in the United States for
Louisiana Sugar; a short continuance of
the present rate of demand will consume
the old prior to the arrival of the new
crop.

The Union Fillmore Celebration on the
Ohio River.

FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE IN CouNcrL.-A
Ware stretched across the Riuer t0ih the Union
Flag!
The Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana
grand Fillmore aud Donelson Council
were in session on the Ohio river and its
levees notwithstanding that place as
the Union river of the West.
There were $4,000 people present, and
more were expected.
A wire was stretched cross the river,
and on it was suspended a flag, with the
word Union, encompassed by thlirty-one
stars.
A steamer, having on board sixteen la
dies, started from the Ohio shore, repre-
senting the Northern States, and another
from the Kentucky shore, having on board
fifteen ladies, representing the Southern
States.
The boats are dashed fast, and proceed
up the river under the Union flag.
The artillery roared a laundering well
come.
The lion of the mighty West is at last
shaking his name. Stand from under,
di~sunionists, everywhere.
The above are ~teIegraphic dispatches which
we take from the Bee. The Picayune occu-
pies three columns in detailing the ceremonies
of this great affair, which all concur in assert
ing that it was one of the grandest and most
soul>stirring political displays that this country
has ever known. 1t seems significant of the
vote of both Ohio and Kentucky in the CONS
ing contest. We trust this will not be the on
y display of the kind. Such manifestations
go a great ways in allaying sectional jealousies
and antipathies. We perceive that the Fill
more Rangers Of New Orleans have purchased
a valuable Bracelet, which they intend to pre~
sent to Miss ELIZABETH Dye, the young lady
who personated Louisiana on the above mem
orab!e occasion. We trust that an example
so fitting and appropriate will be followed by
the young men of all the other States of the
Union.

We are happy to be enabled to say there are
unmistakab!e indications that the friends Of
FILLMORE and DoNELsoN in this parish are be-
coming fully aroused to the importance of &C.
live eXertions in the cause of our candidates
and the Union; and We doubt not that from
this forward the fire of enthusiasm will be
kept in a blaze-and the result Of which, there
is no question, will be a disappointment TO our
Democratic friends in the majority which they
have fondly calculated upon.
Last Wednesday evening, in obedience to q
previous call, the young men Of our town and
neighborhood assembled in the Ball Room of
Mr.. Fl. LEBLANC, and organized a club for this
precinct, to be called the "'76 Club, " to adj
vance by all honorable means the interest of
the American candidates.
SAM'L. MATTHEWS. Esq, was elected Presi~
dent; Mr. OLIVIA MARIoNNEAUx, Vice Presi~
dent, and Mr.. C. W. PoPE, Secretary.
Spirited resolutions were passed, and when
the list was opened for those to register their
names who wished to become members Of the
Club, it was approached by the young men
with that alacrity and determination which au-
cured the happiest anticipations and results.
We trust that our friends in every Precinct
in the Parish will follow the example thus set
them by the young men Of Plaquemine and
yicinity--and each man resolve, as he SUBJ
scribes his name to the support of Fillmore
and The Union, that he will spare no efforts and
shrink from no sacrifices, in a cause so glorious
and so just.

Delightful.

Here is a delightful paragraph for Southern
Democrats to con over. Certainly the South
will never be able to repay them for the in1u-
ence they have given, and are yet striving to
give, to foreigners:
Translated from the States Democrat, Aug. 1871
Look at Missouri. Germans in the free
States who lend themselves to aiding the
slavery extensionists, must blush when they
see their brothers in the slave States battling
against the enemy of freedom. st. Louis, the
metropolis of Missouri, has spoken, and her
German population has Joined in the cry which
makes the party of the reaction tremble.
The FreesoiIer Blair, who openly condemned
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
declared for free speech, free labor and free
Kansas, is elected to Congress from the st.
Louis District. The votes Of German citizens
aided TO achieve this victory.
All honor to the German population of st.
Louis! Though residing in a slave State,
they nevertheless remain true to freedom.

UWe received on Thursday the Gazette

paper and gives unmistakable evidence of abil-
lily and influence. No one can doubt that who

FILLMORE and DoNELsoN are its choice for the.
highest offices in the Union. No one, however
prejudiced, can doubt the position in the State

The Raltimore Wing Convention.

Next Wednesday is the day fixed upon for
the Convention of the Old.Line Wings Of the
Union, which assemblies in Baltimore. Judgo
ing by the general notice respecting i by the
almost every State for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates, we have no doubt the Conven-
ton will be one worthy Of the name as we'll as
the character and influence of that old and no.
nored party, the clashing of whose steel, in
the mighty contest for power with hosts Of
combined enemies, has not yet subsidized or lost
from the page Of history. The object Of tie
Convention is, doubtless, to endeavor to effect
a reorganization Of the party-at least for the
present canvass-that united it will present a
force that will hold in its grasp the balance of
power, and thus, in moment Of danger, as
was characteristic of its noble lenders in days
gone by, come TO the rescue Of the Union.
Of course, at this stage Of the canvass, the
Convention will not think of introducing ano~
Their candidate in the Presidential race, but will
select and recommend to the support of the
old,line Wings of the Union, one Of the pres
sent candidates, who, in the wisdom of the
Convention, will be more likely to restore
peace and harmony among the people, to crush
down sectionalism, subdue the asperities of
party, and bind more firmly together that bond
Of union which, our glory and our strength.
That the course which the Convention pur-
sues with regard to the Presidency viii have
a powerful if not decisive influence in deter
mining the election, there is but little doubt.
No one can pretend to say, in the present state
of political affairs, which of the three candi-
dates will be so fortunate as TO receive the en-
dorsement of the Convention. We can guar
antee that it win not be Mr.. FREMONT.
We shall look for the proceedings of the
Convention with much anxiety; a synopsis of
which, or of a portion, we will doubtless be
enabled to give in our next issue.

Mutiny Among the Irish Demo

Mutiny Among the Irish Democracy.-The
Lrish American, of New York city, a strong
Depocratic paper, says:
If an honest, hard laboring Trishman is shot
down in cold blood by one of those foul things
yomited forth from the ruffianism Of rum holes
and to be upheld by The Democratic party,
though we have always been on that side, we
can go with them no longer. Strongly, en-
phatically, earnestly and most sincerely do we
recommend Messrs. Buchanan and Breckinridoe
and their friends and supporters, to repndiate
the scoandrel in the most unmistakable form,
or we shall be obliged, in the course ofa SOL
emu duty, to advise those who believe in US ei.
Their not to vote at all in the approaching
Presidential election, or to cast their vote for
the enemy.
An open foe may prove a curse:
But a pretended friend is worse.

mAINE--ggORE THUNDER.

The Democratic Maine Brigade, says the Bee.
has been cut TO pieces, and Freesoilism has
achieved a signal triumph. The telegraph in,
forms us that Maine has gone for the Black
Republicans by some TWELVE THOU
SAND majority. Thus prop after prop falls
from Mr.. BUCHANAN in the North. Iowa viii
her ten thousand, Vermont with her twenty
thousand aud Maine with her twelve thousand,
have ali declared against him. IF the friends
of BUCHANAN fail to appreciate these pregnant
signs, they must be deaf and blind Maine
was one of the most reliable Democratic Stst les
in the North, yet now behold what. Northern
Locofoco detection and recreancy have accom-
plished Maine settles the question as to Mr..
BUCHANAN's Northern strength. In a time,
honored Democratic stronghold, at a State
election, after the most desperate exertions by
the Administration, with a host of travelling
orators to back them, Maine gives twelve thou
sand Black Republican majority!
What earthly chance has OLD Buck to carry
a Northern State! Better withdraw him while
it is yet time. He may still retreat with honor,
and the South will ensure her safety by going
in mass for FILLMORE, who will carry New
York, and can be elected. BUCHANAN is dead
cock in the pit.
