The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, of saturda,

The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, of Saturday, says
One of the storms Of wind and rain you have often
read about but seldom seen, visited Friday, and
for while threateneda demolition Of everything
sistng its progress. The rain was very welcome, and
the effect is already visible in the improved appear
ance of vegetation. We were quite content to take
the wind SO long as it brought rain with it. No dam
age has been done SO far as we could learn.
The Caddo Gazette, of the I'd, says:
During the week the weather has been quite balmy
and springlike. On Thursday had here very heavy
showers, and though the rains warm we have had
rather too much.
The planters with whom we have conversed seem
to think they will be able to obtain pretty fair stands
ofboth corn and cotton Some predict that 1857 will
be an abundant crop year.
The Concorda Intelligencer of Friday last publishes
the following paragraphs:
The second and third days of May were distin-
gushed by almost constant rain, turning off quite
cold with some frost on Sunday night. The weather
has now become somewhat warmer.
We hear that the chilled and stinted stand of cot
ton many of the principal plantations is fast disap-
pearing under the ravages of the cut worm.

SPIRITUAL TAKING TO THE FINE ARrs.-At the
close of lecture Spiritualism, in Boston, recently
gentleman announced that method of taking spirit
ual portraits had been discovered. The Courier thus
describes the process:
There were two mediums--one in Columbus, Ohio,
the other in Cleveland in the State. These me-
dums on retiring to dark room, would see certain
spirits and draw their portraits. He exhibited pen
Gil portrait which had been drawn in minutes.
The portrait had been recognized by three spiritual
mediums that of the person. He was an
Aztec who had dwelt in the southwestern part of the
State of New York previous to the discovery of the
continent by Columbus.
The portrait had none of the Aztec features as
shown by Stephens Central America, but was tol-
cradle portrait of the traditional Indian who is
in all sohool-books. The exhibitor of the portrait
stated that if any had deceased friends whose portraits
they wanted they could make an appointment through
the ordinary mediums, with the spirits to visit these
painting mediums, at particular time, and send a
letter, stating the appointment and enclosing one dol
lar. In due time the portrait would be returned The
name OF one of the mediums is George L. Wolcott
Columbus Ohio.

PRoDIGIoUs!- Mr.. G. ". Cathcart writes the fol

Indiana:
During the last harvest whirlwnd blew off the
straw hat of one of my hands, Ny attention was at
tractcd to it, as, seated on my reaping machine
rounded the next to him. The hat was forty
rods off, and should think nearly, if not quite 500
feet high. called in loud voice, King, (the ia,
miliar name of our presiding Spirt) bring that man
his hat" The man instantly stopped perfectly still
The hat whired around came back and dropped pre-
clsely in his hands. He surprised that he did
not shut his fingers upon when it fell to the ground
on bis feet and he picked it up without moving an
inch from his position which he hid held immevably
from the time called. The man no Spiritualist.
called out without reflection, and can only say that
did not so wantonly This curious affair was wit
messed by at least eight seae witnesses, but few of
whom were crazy Spirituasts.
If the spirits have time to be so very accommoda-
ting, their avoeaons in the celestial spheres be
of no pressing importance.

THE NATIONAL HOTEL MYsTERY.-The New York
Times says that twenty-five thirty persons have
already died from the effects Of the Washington Ma
tlonal Hotel sickness and expresses the decided opin
ion that it was caused by poison in the food Presi
dent Buchanan has not yet recovered. The New York
Mirror says:
The Democratic papers earnestly discussing his
symptoms, and some of them bluntly express their
belief that he was poisoned When the first sugges-
ton of so shocking crime was thrown out it ap.
peared to recoil upon that wing of the Democracy
which preferred Mr. Breckenridge as President to Mi
Buchanan. 1t should, on that account, have been
promptly hushed up, but is revived for some purpose
of political malignity.

ContentInent.

Thinks st thou the steed that restless roves
Ger rocks and mountains, fields and groves
With wild, unbridled bound,
Finds fresher pasture than the bee,
On thymy bank or vernal tree,
Intent to store her industry
Within her waxen round
Think'st thou the fountain, forced to turn
Through marble vase or sculptured urn,
Affords a sweeter draught
Than that which in its native sphere,
Perennial undisturbed and clear,
Flows, the lone travellers thirst to cheer,
And wake his grateful thought
Thinks st thou the man whose mansions hold
The worldling's pomp and miser's gold,
Obtains richer prize
Than he who, in his cot at rest,
Finds heavenly peace willing guest,
And bears the promise in his breast
OF treasure in the skies

The DALLAsCLARENDoN TREATY.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says that
the rejection by the British Government of the Cen
tral American treaty modified, took the admins
tration by surprise They had been led, he says, to
suppose that the treaty, as ratified here would be
acceptable to the British government particularly at
a time when that government was about, as was be-
lieved, to withdraw ITSELF as far as it could, from
affairs of this continent and when it was seeking the
cooperation of the United States in other matters
In another letter. of the 4th inst the same writer
says
The said to be given BY the British Govern
ment for the rejection of the propositions of the
United States Government for the modification of the
project of a treaty negotiated between Lord Claren
don and Mr.. Dallas, is that the Government Of Hon
duras had not yet ratified the treaty of 1856 by which
the Bay Islands are ceded to the State of Honduras
This looks very much like an after-thought.
Letters from Honduras, dated April 1st state that
the British Government had not renquished the Bay
Islands, but had appointed a new governor of the
same, who had just taken upon himself the duties of
the office Further, it stated in these letters that
the inhabitants of the islands determined
submit to the jurisdiction of Honduras.
This would show that the British Government have
changed their minds to the cesson of the islands of
Honduras, and determined to keep them if the Uni
ted States Government should give them chance by
the slightest alteration of the Clarendon project
Had our amendments reached Lord Palmerston at
the time of his defeat in Parliament, and before the
election, he would probably have accepted them.
But bound up now as he is by popular support, we
shall have nothing of conciliatory nature from him.

ANOTHER ENGLISH PRINoEss.--The papers received

1t will be gratifying to our lady readers says the
