There was fair share of cotton on the levee yes
teray which will be increased by the cargo of the
steamer Natchez which is expected at the landing
this morning. There is good amount of business
starting The several arrivals during the week have
added to the stocks of Western produce, and with
million or two Of dollars in coin imported at once,
we shall soon have lively business to record.
Regarding cotton, we insert the following from an
Important region Of the cotton growing section Of the
country. Although our correspondent says they are
only two weeks behind, the remark does not cores
pond with accounts from other sections; for it is
plain that the receipts Of cotton are now fully four
weeks behind 1856, and five and six weeks behind
1866. However, if they have any cotton in Red river
picked and baed, the good paying prices now obtana-
BILE suggests that it come forward with all possible
dispatch particularly in the present naygabe condi
ton Of the river.
CADDo PARISH, Red River, La, Sept. s, 1857.
Gentlemen AS you may have some anxiety con-
corning the prospect of the Red river crop, shall
endeaVor to give you my opinion, and state facts to
you that will enable you to judge for yourselves.
In consequence of the late spring, cotton was set
back fully Two weeks, and think more !; but, not
withstanding by the middle of July there as fine
prospect for crop Red river as there ecer ,cas
About that time the rains commenced, and have con-
tinued up to the present date Cotton did not shed
as was expected, from the continued wet weather,
but has held its forms we'll and is now full from bot
tom to top, but the great difficulty and damage is
that it has caused it to make too much weed The
branches are interviewed in the middle of the rows
consequently the lower crop must inevitably rot I'M
less we have continued dry weather to heat the
ground sufficiently to open the bos that are shut out
from the sun. We ought now to be doing good pick
ing but there is no cotton open OF consequence in
this section Of country. We have had a heavy rain
again to-day. Dark, cloudy weather, and no likeli-
hood of sunshine soon. Should we have suitable
weather TO open cotton, 1.-THE great difficulty will
% 10 &c. has ErCyr1 thocn apts var ran
some idea OF the prospect Of crops in this section of
country. Red river is very high, and has been for
some time. Had we only the cotton to pick, we
could get into market very early this season.
Respectfully, yours, e. 9. A.
We have received some few bales of this seasons
crop from Red river and small load out of the Qua
chta But really it is coming in very slow from all
sections and ere long may resort to figures. The
receipts in Mobile this week, up to yesterday were
1877 bales, We learn that the ship City of Mobile was
taken up in that port to load for Liverpool at lied
Burthen 5000 bales Cotton must arrive fast to loat
this quantity at an early day.
NATcHEz AND CAMP STREET.-The long contem
plated improvement of Natchez street, we per
ceiye, has been commenced Workmen have beer
engaged for the past two days in taking up the oil
round stone pavement, preparatory to the laying OF
square block stone pavement. This much-desire,
pavement has long been wanted. We regret to lear
that the paving of Camp street, with the same mate
RIAL is likely to be defeated by the want of unanmt
on the part of many propretors of real estate front
ing on the street, and the opposition of others VIII
have not resided III the city for the last fifteen
twenty years. The opposition is pretended to arts
from the high taxes to whichti supposed real estat
is now subject. But this is all imagination, for ther
is not real estate owner in this city who has nc
from time immemoral enhanced rents to double whf
the increase of taxes may have accrued. We hay
now in our eye proprietor of real estate who, tie
years ago, rented stores Camp street for nine hui
bred dollars per annum, for which he now receive
two thousand dollars per annum. This proprietor
one of the opponents of the paving of this importai
street with square blocks and every dollar of propert
he is possessed Of was acquired in this city, thong
he, like many Others not the possessors Of fis
dollars when they landed in this now much-abuse
city.
We consider the future prosperity Of Camp stree
involved in this question Of repairs and repairing wit
square block. The streets in front of Magazine rul
ming parallel with the river, will all be paved wit
square block Carondelet street will be in the cours
of another. Business will go from Camp street
those localities which offer greater conveniences
fact, we might now inquire where all the cotton ia
forage houses have removed to, which were loca
on Camp street. Unless Camp street is kept in bett
order, and it is impossible to keep it in order vi
round stone pavement, we shall expect that rents
deciue twenty-five to thirtythree per cent beft
two years pass away, and no decrease in the busin'
Of our city result from it.
