The Caddo Ge=siie, Of the Islh, e~ontains the
following account Of the g weather and crops"
Ia that parish
The last week, which has been excessively
hot anddfy, has completely destroyed the hopes
Of some Of our bill planters. Corn in spots is
burning up, and on some plantations is past
hop. Cotton has not suffered so much, but IL
needs rain in many parts Of the parish, and
viii suffer greatly II il continues dry much
longer. An average crop Of corn or cotton in
this section. we regard a. now wholly out OF 1.-THE
question. The river crops are doing t~olsrably
well, bat they are also suffering, and will be
greatly injured il there is not a good RAID with
in the next week or ten days.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Plantsr, Of
the 18th, says:
Il Is astonishing 10 witness The improved aP-
p~earanee Of the cane 10 our parish, since the
heavy rains have fallen upon it. Some weeks
ago L was very dimiuutivs, and to such a de-
gree that many supposed IL would not hayetime
10 get is mature growth before cold weather
set in, but the rain hus brought il up % we'll
that Il appears little, II anything, behind hand
in its growth. These daily showers are Of
great benefit.
From he same paper We copy the following:
Captain Trudeau, Of the frstty little steamer
Prima DoHna, plying on False river, informs
US that the crops along the banks CT that river
are promising spiendidly. The planters Of
that region are i%uoilsnt and full Of hope.
We learn from the Point Coupee Echo, that
the following Democratic papers, besides The
Echo, refuse 10 place The name Of Mr.. David
son a. the head Of their columns The Feiici-
ana DsmseTaf, Lake Providence Herald, Madi-
son Journal and Marksyiile Hilager. Those
which consider him as fairly and legally the
nominee, are the Baton Ro1gs Air0cais. Bayou
Sara Le5ger, and, we think, The Ibsrville Gaz-
cite.
We regret 10 learn from the Harisonburr
IndepeHdent that the rust is damaging the cot
ton crop In Catalonia parish. The Indspen-
dent says:
{" We learn from various portions Of the par.
; ish that the rust Is doing considerable damage
. generally upon the lands with the first crop Of
cotton. Fears are entertained that The rot vii
b follow, which is usually the case ; should th'
fsrmer continue and he latter prevail 10 mucl
, extent, Il will operate as a serious injury 4
the crop in this parish. Corn, upon both th'
biz and low lands promises an abundant yiei'
3 lit is now considered made"
; At a Democratic meeting, held at Vernon, Of
. the 18th inst, II. NJ. Polk, Esq, was nomina.
{ ted by reclamation fer reelection 10 the mex
E Legislature. Atthe same meeting r. J.. McLs
4 roy was nominated for Sheriff, SJetson Trasi
. for Recorder, J. ). Fowler for Assessor, ana
Z G. Andrews for Recorder.
: By a correspondence published in the Batol
Rouge papers, we learn that Dr. John Perkini
is ont az independent candidate for the Legis
o lature.
= As we said 10 a late issue, says the COas
Journal Of the Doth, there is every prospect Of
; a very large crop In Ascension this year
Plantations that made two aud three hundred
> ecsshsads last year, will scarcely make les.
% than a thousand or twelve hundred this year
. Nevertheless, except in a few localities, th'
: crop is some weeks behind hand, though, if thl
2 warm weather encrosch as much on tie winter
as the latter did on the spring, no great haTH
2 will ensue.
