The Morehouse Advocate of the sth inst. says
The crops in this parish are looking very well at
the present writing and the prospect for abundant
harvest never more favorable. There was some diff
Guilty in the early part of the spring to secure good
stands OF both cotton and corn owing TO the dontn
ned cool weather, but after one or two replantings
good stands were secured The refreshing rain on
last Saturday came in good season, as the planters
growing off finely. Some parishes have miaeraby
poor land, and Others affected by high water, but
Morehouse has neither, and always makes her abun-
dant yield.
The Franklin Parish Sun, Of the 14th inst, says
After about two weeks of hot, almost snffdcating
weather. both by night and day, which has been very
advantageous to the crops--that now however, begin
to need sin-it turned refreshingy cool on Tuesday
night since when, up to the present writing, we have
been favored with delightful cool breezes.
We regret to state that all the neghboring streams,
the Boeuf River, Bayou Mason and Big Creek and
Dear Creek, are again on the rise.
The Assumption Pioneer of Saturday last says that
the Lafourche crevasse the plantation of Mr. p. L
Cox is in fair way Of being stopped. The same
paper has the following
We regret to learn that the back water frpm the
Labranche crevasse has made its appearance on the
rear of the plantations opposite village and that
1t continues to rise about two inches and half in
twentyfour hours. 1t has already commenced creep
ing slowly, but steadily, among the cane and corn.
This, with the heavy showers with which we are
the growing crops and we fear this is but the com
mencement OF our neighbor's misfortunes, as the
counts Of high water from above anything but
couraging and the back water will continue to rise
pari passu with that in the river.
The coming year will prove hard one With many
of our planters, and particularly with those who's
entire crops, stock and poultry, have been destroyed
by the unrelentless flood.
The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, Of Saturday last
says:
The weather continues intensely sultry, although
we have cooling and refreshing showers from time tC
time. They are very pleasant in somewhat cooling
the atmosphere, but cannot say that they are bene
| fetal to crops.
Recent telegraphic reports from the upcountry
rivers all Indicate high stage OF water, and rising
With the water we have now, and the heavy rise
coming down, our evees will be put to Their utmos
test to resist the eneroachments OF the hoqd- II II
therefore necessary that our leyees be carefully
watched night and day. The excitement 20 preya
lent some weeks since 10 reference TO the river having
