LII 1oof, III Will De OBSERVED, there was o Slight de-
cline. This was probably owing to the extraordinary
crop of Louisiana in 1853, which was 1892 hogs
heads; exceeding that of any previous or subsequent
year by more than 100, 900 hogsheads.
In 1854 the crop of Louisiana was 346 ,635 hogsheads
Sc 1855 225.OO hoosheads
Sc 1856 100 600 borsbeods
In addition to the recent failures of the crops in
Louisiana. affecting the supply, the attention Of
planters in Java has recently been withdrawn from
the growth Of sugar to that of coffee; the latter being
found the most profitable, and owing to the annually
increasing demand for cotton, a similar diversion OF
capital and labor from sugar to cotton, which has
frequently occurred in Louisiana, may be expected to
occur in other sugar growing countries. And as the
culture of cotton requires less capital, it is more in
viting to a large class of planters. Nor is it proba-
bic that the present high prices will stimulate the
growth Of sugar in the United States. The admis-
sion of sugar, free of duty, is now among the proba-
bilities of the future, and planters there will not be
inclined to risk there capital in an operation which
may be ruined by o sudden change of the American
tariff.
In a future number we shall refer to the cultivation
of sugar in these islands. with some data of the cost
of producing it.
% 1t is quite unnecessary for us to attempt to
correct the errors into which our c0temporary falls
when alluding to the cost of government printing.
Had the actual balance against the office at the end
OF each year to be paid out of the pocket of Its
director, there would then be no installing the actual
loss; but it now is, as is generally the case with the
peoples funds, difficult for the director to find who
Is the loser. The figures which we furnished in our
last issue show a very material loss somewhere,
and until some more tangible proof to the contrary
IS furnished than has yet been done, the fact must
remain, that the government printing, as at present
conducted, costs more than it is worth, and that its
expense is one of the causes of the present serious
embarrassment of the government. The editors
smiles about the Office being charged with the cost of
a power press can only be for effect, as he must have
known that Mr.. Allen engaged such a press, which
was being constructed in Boston last October, and if
not paid for out of the funds appropriated for it, has
probably been paid for out of funds borrowed for
another purpose,1a matter wholly between the
treasurer of tho kingdom and the people.

Loss OF THE BARK j. c. FREMoNT.-By the arrival
yesterday of the sch. Mary Reed from Fanning's
Island, we have the particulars of the loss of the New
Grenadian bark J. c. Fremont, bound from Puget
Sound to Sydney, with 350, 900 feet of lumber. The
Fremont was lost on Christmas Island, Nov. %. and
was owned by Messrs. Wetherbee and Talbot of San
Francisco Her cargo was owned by W. C. Talbot.
one was under the command of Capt. johnson,
formerly in command of the L. p. Foster. which
sailed yesterday. The vessel and cargo were a total
loss, the wreck going to pieces in twenty -four hours.
DEsPAToH-The brigantine L. p. Foster Capt.
Moore arrived On Friday last, discharged about 1907
oOo feet OF lumber in four working days, and sailed
again on Wednesday noon. The wind being fayora-
Die, capt. Moore will doubtless make up on the passage
back what he lost on the trip to this port.

GLENDY BuRKE.-We are happy to see the name
OF the Hon. Glendy Burke favorably spoken of as
the American candidate for Congress from the Second
District We do not wish tointerfere with our friends
OF the second Congressional District in the settle

but as they themselves have mentioned the name OF
Mr. Burke we desire to remind our readers that there
is something in his history which interests every mem
ber OF the American party. He has been the firm
and inexihle champion and friend of "Americanism'
from the period of its first establishment in Louisiana
He has welded a strong influence in oyerturning
foreign ascendency in New Orleans. He has stood
the brunt OF battle when the ranks thinning and
others wavered. But the last and weightiest consd
Grafton in his favor is, that he was elected to repre-
sent New Orleans in the State Senate and was elected
from that body by party vote because he represent
ed an american constituency. Whatever may be
said of the other candidates. whom we have no wish
to prejudice we have doubt that the selection Of

NIcARAGUAN RUMORs.-We received telegraphiG
dispatch few days ago, from New York, in which
it was stated that intelligence had reached that city
ofan alliance between San Salvador and Walker, and
the overthrow of the Guatemala forces These state
ments appear in letter in the New York Herald,
dated Belize Honduras, April rather a suspicious
| date We extract the following:
The news and rumors from Honduras are truiy dis
tressing to Americans and the of,advancernent
The prejudice formerly existing by the government
of that State still continues and every thing that can
be done Is done to annoy and distress the few Amer
can citizens who have been in that State. Nearly all
have had TO leave. Some have returned to the United
States. Others are stopping here and at Ruatan
waiting and hoping the excitement will pass over and
they be allowed to return.
Still more distressing accounts are in circulation
from Guatemala. It is reported that six American
citizens have been shot on the Pacific coast num-
Der were sent away without warning-not allowed
to settle their accounts take their effects Three
persons, named Buchanan, Van Buren and Robert
Taylor. appealed to Mr.. Savage, who has charge Of
the legation OF the United States in Guatemala who
told them he could not do anything for them. and
was fearful that he should himself have to leave as
there was no limit to the power of Carrera who was
very much enraged against the people Of the United
States. ~ -

ENGLAND WITHDRAWING FROM THE CONTINENT
In recent letter the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
As our government has not only large recIaulations
in behalf OF our citizens to make upon Mexico but
national right to free passage across the stbmus of
Tehuantepec to and from our Atlantic and Pacific
possession 1t proper that some steps should be taken
to secure those rights.
General Cushing justly remarks, in bis home recep
ton address, that England is Withdrawing herself
from the continent, and it follows that the American
continent left to the ultimate sway of the people and
institutions of the United States.
Between the United States and England there is
hardly question left unsettled, and as is intimated
in Lord Napiers speech at the recent st. Georges
festival in New York, the time may come when there
will be no necessity for diplomatic intercourse between
in either To this Republic belongs the task of reiu-
venating and improving the condition of those Ameri-
can communities which have been less fortunate than
our own IN the possession OF institutions which are

WEATHER AND CROPS IN SoUTH CARoLINA.-Tbe

WEATHER AND Crops IN SOUTH CARoLINA-The
Charleston Mercury, of the 30th ult., says:
The season has been the most remarkable within
our recollection. Within the month of April there
were less than four killing frosts-kng, that is
to say as to all young vegetation. The corn has been
three times killed down to the ground The rice the
greater portion of which had terminated before the
last FROST though not positively killed. was severely
injured and had sckly and most unpromising look.
But small portion OF the cotton crop was up before
the last frost, but all that above ground was kill
ed, and must be replanted The forest trees every
where exhibited most striking evidence of the back
wardness OF the The dogwood, that beautiful
ornament of our spring forests, was barely in full
bloom by the month of April, good month behind
its time The later deciduous trees were just begin
ming to show signs of vegetation.
But few days of genial weather have wonderfully
changed this aspect. The forests are now vigorously
throwing out their oliage-the corn has shot
up, for the third time fresh leayes-the rice has re-
sumed its natural healthy color, and everything ndi-
Gates that II the season is favorable it is not yet too
blighted by the unknd visitation of April frosts.

The fine weather yesterday and the day before,
following storm of rain and mud, generally reported
as very disastrous was the chief subject of remark
Ihe receipts OF cotton were slack very slack. 1t is
about time there was some show for these 800 900
balesa good share Of which were to be received at
this port. We really believe there should be some
thousands coming in daily, but the receipts for yes

from Princeton, 4O5 bales from Shreveport, 92 :;
from Bayou Sara, 3S; from coast, "a. Total 600
bales against 756 bales the corresponding day last
