The Concordia Intelligencer Of Friday last says:
Last Saturday falling weather commenced and was
followed by severe rain almost the whole Of SAtur-
day night. Cleared off on Sunday morning and has
continued 80. The first day Of winter was as mild
as day in Spring. & u s
Last week, one OF our Concordia planters having
633 bales Of cotton in New Orleans sold the whole at
twelve and half cents per pound. The bales were
large, and averaged, after freight and all other
charges had been paid full fifty dollars per bale for
which he received, cash down, the comfortable little
sum Of thirtytwo thousand dollars. The same
planter will have in market this year an entire crop,
exceeding two thousand bales.-s qs s>I9

perceptble difference in the yield is already being
made apparent. Nothing but cool and the most
favorable weather can save the planters from great
loss. Even ten days summer heat would blast pre-
sent prospects very materially
The Lafourche Union Of Friday has the following
paragraphs: zs.5 n rr5i sdf & 7s
Although we have had one hard rain and several
warm days since the late freeze, the winnowed cain

26th ult., We extract the following
Intelligence reached town yesterday that another
attack had been made upon Mexican carts, and that
two of the carriers (Mexicans) had been killed. We
last night had an interview with Capt Nelson, of the
State Rangers, who came to San Antonio on business
connected with his troops, and from him we learned
that he had received an express from Lieut.. Ed.
Stevens, commanding the company in his absence,
giving report of an attack upon Mr. Pyrons train.
It appears Chat on the morning of the 2lst, while
the cartmen out getting up their oxen prepara
tory to making start they were attacked by party
of armed men, and two of them (cartmenl killed i'm
medately; two others fed and Mr.. Pyron was left
to get on as he best could. The two dead Nexicans
were placed on the deserted CARTS which were unmo
lested, and brought up to the camp Of the Rangers
23d An inquest had been held on the bodies in
Helena, the verdict of which We have not learned
but it is stated to amount to nothing. E
The attack occurred at the lower Ojo de Aqua OF
Yates creek and the report states that from the facts
it appears that the aggressors do not now seem te
care about cutting up the CARTS but that they wish te
if they have to commit murder. .
