LoUIs1ASy. SUGAR CRoP.-Ed arc indebted
to a commercial friend for copy of Mr.. P. a.
Champromiers statement of the sugar crop
made in Louisiana in 1866. The statement
embraces an accurate return of tho produce Of
each plantation in the State, the aggregate crop
comprising 23l ,497 hogSheadS, cstimatcdat 254;-
$50, 900 pounds. OF the total, 192,391 hogs
clarified, &c. including cistern. There were in
operation during the year only ,299 sugar
houses against 1922 III 1854. OF the sugar
houses in operation during 1856, 93Sused steam,
and 36I horses, as their motive power The to-
tai receipts of foreign unreiincd sugar into the
United States for the year ending December 81,
1855, were 205, 0G4 tons againstrcCciptS of160,-
925 tons in 254.
Taken for consumption in 1855, 194,052 tons
against 150,854 tons in 1854, being an increase
in the consumption of foreign in 1856 of 43, 1913
tons, about 2S5 per cent, whilst the total con-
sumption OF 1855 (assuming thestockof doncs-
tic on the LIST january of each year to have been
cquaD twas $40, 81 tons, against total consump-
ton in 1854 of 3Sj,29S tons, and in 1853 of
GT2,9S9 tons, being decrease in the total con-
sumption of 1855 as compared with 1854, of
6,101 tons, or nearly 1s per cent The value of
sugar on list january 1856 vast -2a6 per pound
and on LIST january 1S56,-aO. Texas produced
last year a much better crop than in 1854 the
product being S,977 hogshcads estimated ut
I9,Sf0,OOV pounds against 7,5l3,OOU pounds the
previous season. The Drop of Louisiana was
l34G,635 hogshcads in 1854, against 231 ,427
Ihogshcalls III 1856.
With regard to the coming crop Mr. Champ
romiGr entcrtains the impression that twill again
be short though it is yet too early to speak de-
cisively on that point. Much of the faIl planting
it is feared will be total loss, whilst that plant
ed later is notthought to have farcdmuch better
The lateness of the Springis also an unfavorablc
feature, it having proved so wet that planters
could scarcely do anything.

FEEIGrTESED OFT OF HIS Wrrs.-We witness
cd one the most singular proceedings at trial
this morning before Squire Hanselman, ever
our lot to record. a man by the name of Chas.
Fulton entered suit against the owners of the
steamer j. W. Mailman, to recover the value of
q horse which had been lost overheard between
IYellsyille and Portsmouth, laying his damages
at 500. uewas called to the stand, and tcsti
fled to having taken the horse on board at W clls-
vile, and paid forhiS own and its passage to
St. Louis, $22 One night during the trip,
the horse, by some means unknown, got
overheard, since which time nothing mas been
seen of it. Fulton gOtotf the boat at Portsmouth
to see ifhc could hear anything about his horse,
when he was refunded the $22 he had paid for
the passage of himself and animal.
The magistrate asked him if he went up the
river from Portsmouth to look for the horse; he
replied that he did not. Upon cross-cxamna-
tion he was asked if he had not first told the
captain of the boat since he had come into the
'Squirc's Office that he went back fifteen miles
to look for the horse. Fulton hcsitated, and fl
nally muttcred out that he had nOt-he then
Immediately grew very pale, and large drops of
sweat covered his facc-he took step forward,
and staggering, fell to the floor. He was raised
and piacedina chair, andwater given him, when
he recovered somewhat, but still appeared like
one in dream. He was again asked the qucs-
| ton which had apparently agitated him, when
he replied that he did not recollcct of any such
conversation.
1t was plain to be seen that from some cause
/ or other the man was frightened nearly out of
This wits Heeithcr thought he Ind committed
perjury, or was in fear of personal violence. 1t
was in evidence that the halter around the horse
was not sufficiently strong; of which fact Fulton
had been advised by the Clerk of the boat, but
had neglected procuring another The Magis-
trate held that as there had evidently been negli
| gcncc, both on the part OF Fulton and the oil.
GERS of the boat he would render judgment-for
only half the amount claimed by the plaintiff;
so Judgment was accordingly entered for 800.
Fulton here approached the Captain of the
/ boat, and strange as it may appear, offered to
compromise the matter by paying the costs, and
giving receipt for all damages, which he actual
| ". did. We have looked upon a great many
criminals, bnt We never saw aplaintiff in case
look so much Ike criminal as did this one.
He looked really pitiable as he sat in his chair
4 trembling like one who had been guilty Of some
heinous cri:ne-rathcr than one who pursued
Just claim, and alrcady had received a Judgment.

Anecdote Of the Late Or. Waiuwriaht.

In the preface to the Memorial Volume of
the Right Rev. Jonathan Mayhem VAIN
wright we find the following anecdote:
"During my residence in Boston, 1" said DR..
Wainwright, :" Mr.. Webster, several times in
the course of our frequent conversations, sug.
Sested subjects which he wished to hear treated
from the pulpit and l have taken advantage
of the suggestion On one occasion he said 70
mo, with more than common earnestness
There is one text which have often thought
OF as opening grand subject, and should
like to hear it treated What is that Mr..
Webster? Turning to me, with his eye kind.
ling under his overhanging brow, and speak.
ing slowly in his deep tremulous tone, he said:
There IS one LarcstUer replied sIt is
noble subject and will write upon it for
next Sunday You cannot Why? it is
but Wednesday, and shall have ample time. ,
You cannot; that sermon will cost you the
best fortnight's labor you ever undertook
thought, nevertheless, that L could accom-
plish the design; and upon returning to nv
study, 1 undertook it, dwelling upon it and
making notes. But the more meditated, the
larger grew the subject, and put myself Sc
riously TO the task for the remainder of the
week. Saturday came, and the mighty idea
had stretched beyond my narrow grasp; and
gave the subject up for the time, saying to
myself, Hooker has bent that bow, and Web
ster could, were he TO try, but cannot
of the theme, here unconsciously shown, is an
evidence that in his humility he moderated
his power to grasp it. Many an inferior man
would, without hesitation, have essayed the
bow Of Ulysses, and to his life's end would
probably have told the story Of his success in
unbending it. The real difficulty presented
to DR. Wainwright, no doubt, was that of
adapting the treatment Of such a theme, to
his habitual manner of seeking in everything
he uttered from the pulpit, the instruction
and the edifeation Of the plainest among The
people His tastes, formed and disciplined
under profound sense of the duties Of his Of
fee, led him to a different class of subjects
and when several years after, his friend,
W Washington Irving, suggested to him as text
the words, "My son, give mo thy heart"
which, although not really inferior in its de-
mands upon the intellectual resource and
power to the text proposed by. Mr.. Webster,
was yet more within the range Of his ordinary
meditations, without difficulty, and in very
short time, an excellent sermon was pre-
pared"
