The Shreveport Southwestern, ,of the 10th, has the
following: s
The river is declining slowly at this point Since
our last the Era, Joseph Holden and Amanda have
arrived from New Orleans the Hope from jefferson,
and the Wabash Valley from Swanson's landings
appearance the cotton plantations in various parts
of the parish, as well on those fronting Red river.
The Caddo Gazette, Of the 18th, says:
Too much rain decidedly. Farmers complaining
of too much stalk two few bolls rottng Of the lower
bols and the boil worm The river crops will fall
considerably short OF the last or any previous year
for some years past The hills may do rather better
than common. We noticed during the week several
wagon loads Of the new crop.
The Mount Lebanon Baptist of the 18th says:
Occasional light showers and a moderate tempera-
tnre have marked the last week almost exactly
such weather as the cotton planter desired The pro-
cess of picking is going vigorously on, we under
prices in the cty-l53 to 15s will cause it to be
sent off as fast as it can be got ready Our planters
on Lake Bisteneau will have cotton enough on its
banks to load several boats before the month closes
il the water does not go down. The lake is now in
fine navigabe order.
The health of the country generally is improving.
The sickness which has been prevalent has usually
been mild terminating fatally only in a few in
| stances. s55i5 ab@
The Ouachita Register Of the 18th says r ss.,
During the past ten days, this region Of country
has been visited by severel very hard and pelting
rans doing great injury, we hear to the cotton al
ready open and yet unrpe. The weed is very rank
and necessarily shades the lower crop, and causes it
| to rot These rains will set the weed to growing
afresh, and informed the result will be highly
| injurious.
Most planters are doing good picking, and with a
late fall and nntoward accident, the crop through
out the Ouachita country, upland and lowlands,
promises fair yield. Corn crop abundant.

tanned that the new steam frigate Roanoke broke
her back on being launched at Norfolk. 1t was so
stated at the time in the Herald, but warmly denied

RELIGIOUS Exc1rEMENT.-Among the deaths in
Providence, R. L. recently, was one caused by reli-
which the unhappy sufferer, young lady Of much
promise, could obtain no relief Medical men could
discover no trace of physical disease, and the efforts
of faithful clergymen to tighten the burden from her
mind were unavaing. The condition of her mind
was such that she steadily refused nourishment.
