The Felfciana Democrat Of Saturday last says:
The weather for the past week has been quite favor
able to the planter. The mornings somewhat winter
sh the latter portions of the day quite warm, with
delightful moonlight nights. The prospect Of the
crop can now be stated with some certainty. The
picking will be almost entirely finished in October,
and the yield owing to the rust, caterpillar and boil
worm, will not more than reach tWo-shirds Of an
average crop. 1t Is being hurried rapidly to market.
The FeIiciana Patriot of the same date says
The black tongne has broken out among the cattle
number of plantations in cur parish. Itseens to
be Of a milder tyne than that which prevailed some
time back in Georgia and Florida, or even that in
the adjoining parishes. It yields to treatment-and
go far, but few of the cattle attacked have died
Wash the tongue with a solution Of cOpperas, sulphur
and vinegar, and grease with sweet oil.
The Agoyelles Organ Of the 18th says:
Nearly all the cotton planters Of the parish COM
plain Of caterpillars and agree in saying that they
will not make mare than half crop. The cane crop
is so far good one, and should nothing occur to
spoil it, more sugar will be made in this parish this
year than was made last year.
From the Greensb1rg (St Helena) Imperial of
Saturday last, We extract the following
The weather fbr some time has been excessively
dry and warm through the day, with cool, chilly
nights, until within the past two or three, which
have been as delightful as well could be. Sufficient
rain to lay the dust is very much needed.
The cotton crop, with late frost, will turn out
better in this parish than many anticipated six weeks
agO-the weather in that time having proved quite
favorable TO tho forming aud opening Of the boil
though we are informed by few farmers that their
crops are nearly ruined by the army worm. They
have made their appearance on some places too late
| tn effect much damage. Our planters are now, and
have been ever since the favorable weather set in,
busily engaged in picking and preparing their cotton
for market which they are forwarding as rapidly as
possible
The health Of the parish has improved though we
still hear Of considerable Sickness This has, without
donbt been the siCklest season ever experienced in
this parish
The black tongue still hoyers among the cattle in
this section, but we have heard of none dying from
it, The disease yields readily to the remedies ap-
piled.
ALABAMA IyTELLIGENcE.-From the Mobile Mer-
curry of Saturday we extract the following para
graphs:
The GreenvilIe Messenger, Butler county, Of the
22d inst. thinks the planters of that region will get
through cotton packing by the lst of October. OF
course the yield will be light tie result Of rust and
other diseases.
AT a screw raising, a few days since on the plana-
ton of Col. Hearin, Choctaw county, the fall Of
heavy timber killed no less than five negroes. An
other OF the Iarty subsequently died Of his wounds
The Democrat says in the mail which left Butler

three valuable letters, all registered, addressed tt
gentlemen in Mobile. which had not at last accounts
reached their destination and presumed to have
been feloniouy dealt with. One OF these letters con
tanned $50 and was addressed to H. w. BrOdnax Co
