ADJOURNMENT.

Congress, after session of near ten
months, adjourned on Monday last
Months have thus been frittcrcd away, We
may almost say, in idle disputations and
wrangling at an expense to the Govern
ment of thousands Of dollars. When we
consider the measures acted upon, we arc
at loss to find anything that has been
done Of practical utility to the country.
The large appropriations made for purposes
OF internal improvements, will characterize
the session as one prodigal Of expenditures
if nothing else, and preclude any probabil-
ity Of modification Of the Tariff, at least
for some time to come. Thus the South,
and we may say injured South, is continu-
ally doomed to bear her share of tile bur-
dens Of government, whilst sire is allowed
to enjoy but few of its privileges.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Benton's defeat in Missouri, and the tri-
umph of the Democracy in Arkansas,
Texas, North Carolina, and Kentucky
which last was supposed to he the strong
hold OF the American party i'll the South
have produced some strange revulsions-
The Benton Democrats, we arc Informed.
have dropped their own Electoral ticket,
ard united with the anti-Bentonites, willie
the Fillmore party has divided into two
wings-the Southern going for Buchanan,
and the Northern for Fremont. These
statements arc not yet positively verified,
but their truth is very probable We are
indebted to our own tclcgraphic reports for
the former, and to that of the Standard for
the latter.
So far as Mr.. Fillmore is concerned, this
course of his friends but realises what the
elections have made apparcnt-lho hope
lessness of his cause i'll the South rs well
as the North.
The letters of the two Senators from
Maryland, advising the people of that State
to support Mr.. Buchanan, went far to ex-
tinguish his hopes, where before they were
sanguine and confident. And then this
rout in Kentucky completely bewildered all
the calculations Of his friends, and foretold
his doom in the other Southern States.
Mr.. Fillmore's only expectations were in
the South. At the Moth, there was not
single State upon Which reasonable hope
could be based; and, therefore, in the face
of the developments at the South, moth
ing was left but to write the verdict already
declared, and withdraw him from tie field.
10 remain, would be only to embarrass the
success Of others, without benefilting him.
SELF Regarding Mr.. Fillmore; tlren, rs in
fact out of the contest-whether withdrawn
or mott becomes u matter Of interest to
consider what effect his Withdrawal will
have upon the chances of the two compe.
titors, Buchanan and Fremont.
In the first place, it is clear that it will
not affect Mr.. Buchanan's prospects in the
South. The recent elections show how
united the South is in support of the
Democratic nominec, and how idle are the
efforts of the opposition. Mr.. Fillmore's
Withdrawal, thefore, will only secure to Mr..
Buchanan larger majorities in the South,
without in any way affecting the final re-
suit. Mfr. Buchanan's strength in the Eec-
toral College, so far rs the South is con-
cerhed, will be neither increased nor d.
,ninished by any course Mr.. Fillmore's
friends may see fit to pursue.
But how will it affect Mr.. Buchanan at
the North9 This is the point most impor-
tant to the result. With the infinite
shades Of existing opinions, the force Of
merely local interests and prejudices, the
animosities of old party divisions, and the
thousand other eleheits which must enter

DISASTROUS INUNDATIoNs IN LOUISIANA.

A violent rain and wind storm com-
menced Oh Saturday night and continued
OH Sunday, doing immense damage. The
streets of this city have been flooded every
few hours during tho last few days. The
wind ceased OH Monday, but the rain con-
tinues to fall with little intelmission.-
The waters Of Lake PontclIartrain have
been blown back, submcrging the farms in
the vicinity and tho jackson Rail Road for
many miles. The destruction of property
has been immensc-indced tho loss is in
calculable. Yesterday evening a report
reached the city that Last Island-a sum-
mer resort-had been engulfed, completely
submerged, all the buildings thereon swept
away and 1871 lives lost. The steamboat
Star, small packet, had been blown
ashore 400 yards from the Hotel and
wrecked, and it was reported that 25O per-
SONS were clinging to her. A steamboat
has been despatched from this city to the
assistance of those on the Island. It is
hoped that the rumors have been cxagyer-
ated, but they bear the impress of truth,
and it is feared that they are too true. The
Island is mostly trcquentcd by wealthy
planters from the neighboring Parishes, and
contained a large Hotel and numerous cot
tagcs which are all gone. The water rose
at the rate Of a foot minnie, and it is re-
ported that it is five fec: deep all over the
Island. Some more rain fell in this city
this evening.

THE SUGAR CROP.

A sugar planter Of Louisiana writes to
the New Orleans Crescent as follows in re-
lation to tlre sugar crop:
1t is assumed that the crop Of sugar made
in the United States in 1855 will not ex-
ceed l00,000,0O0 of pounds. Owing to
the diseased condition of the sugar cane of
Louisiana, the crop has fallen from near
500,00o,0o0 in 1855 to 25o,ooo,O0o in
1865, and no well-ihformed person can
think the crop of 1856 will go over tire
estimate Of l0O,00O,00O:
Fire diseased state of Che ca1ie for several
years past, and the very long, cold and wet
winter, has eradicated the rattobn cane.
There was SO! Very little rattoon cane made
in Ts58lin Eouisiana as To make it annec.
essary tottaRe it INTO consideration in an
estimate sof the quantity of cane necessary
"to mat" for planting in 1857. Many viii
be compelled TO put in mat all Of their
csops of 1855. Few or none will make
