The ThIbodaux Minerva of Saturday last says:
We have been favored with several days of sun
shine during the week and present appearances
indicate that we shall have few more of the same
sort; Our roads are improving rapidly. The omni-
bus lines to the Latourche Crossing which have been
discontinued in consequence of bad roads, have
again resumed their daily trips
negro belonging to A. V. and j. NJ. Williams, of
this parish and instantly killed by the
passenger train of the Opelousas railroad on Thursday
last.
The New Iberia (st. Martin) Star of Saturday last
says:
During the month past we have experienced exces.
sivcly warm weather, with copious and frequent
showers of rain. At present everything betokens a
year OF uncommon prosperity to the planters of At
takapas The corn crop, already matured exceeds
that of any former year by at least oneourth. The
an average crop, while the cane gives promise Of
yield exceeding that Of 1858. The health of our
parish was never better than at present, with an
almost total exemption from those diseases incident
to the climate and season.
The st. Martin Democrat of the same date says:
All our sugar planters are satisfied with the ap.
pearance of the crop; the cane is everywhere very
fine, and unless unforeseen calamity occurs sugar
will be plentiful next year.
We cannot say the same of the cotton the plant
ers complain bitterly of the daily rains, which con
sideraby injure their prospects, All the young pods
are falling off and the old turn black before bursting
At a similar period in good years the planters have
always plenty of cotton already picked. Up to thi
time we do not know Of one who has saved pound
No doubt the consequences ofthis unavorable weathe
will be great diminution in the crop of this parish
The Pointe Coupee Echo of Saturday last has tn
following:
We are sorry to state that the cane in our parish
beginning to give evidences of the injurious effects
the continued wet weather. We have been informe
by several planters that the growth of the cane ha
been completely checked, and by others that it
turning yellow Should this weather continue, ther
will be material diminution in the crop of this yea
Already the cotton has been very much damaged an
the yield cut off nearly one-half. Immense crops {
corn have been made, but a very little fodder ha
been saved.

STOLEN MONEY RECovERED.-The Paatka (Fla.)
Democrat of late date says:

On Tuesday last, Mr.. H. A. Baisden Town Marshal,
discovered $3.50 buried in the ground 1t is sup
posed that the money belongs to U. S. Paymaster
who passed through our town. and who his arrival
at Tampa discovered loss of 81 600 1t seems that
the Paymaster did not know when or where the theft
was commtted-that it was done by the servants in a
hotel in our town, and he SO signifed; and from the
developments which have taken place it would seem
that such was the fact.

RHE LIFE OF JEFFERSON.

We published about three months since a lettel
written by an eminent literary gentleman, which ap
peared in the New York CONNIE -cial Advertiser men
tiOning the fact that elaborate life of Jefferson
was about to appear from the pen of
The original materials furnished by Mr. Jefferson's
family were stated to be very considerable and i'm
porant and we have good reasons for supposing tina
they were by no means overstated. A large mass OF
these materials are of purely personal character
and we now shall have for the first time, complete
personal and private history of Mr.. Jefferson.
We understand that the work has been written as
Judge Marshall is said to have written his life of
Washington, to considerable extent under the in
specion and authority Of the family of the deceased
statesman. That is to say, certain great leading
questions of his public life they have added their
researches and recollections to Mr. Randalls store
of facts and satisfied that the latter has rep
resented Mr.. Jeferson's course and views, both in
letter and spirit with fidelity This fact alone gives
value to the biography. Mr.. Jefersons opinions
have been garbled and distorted for the purpose of
faction. He used habitually strong language, and
by suppressng the context parties find forcibe ex-
pressOns adapted to their wants The great authori-
ty of his renders it important that his actual
opinions should be known. 1t is no easy task how
ever, to sft and collect them from the nine octave
volumes of his writings. From the auspices under
which Mr.. Randall's work has been prepared, .:om
his long and unremitting devotion to the task which
has occupied his pen constantly for five years, we
have strong reason to hope that the American peo-
pie are now to be furnished with what they have
long wanted, clear, candid and truthful biography
of Thomas Jefferson.
