FROM OLD RIVER LAKE, ARK.-The following
extracts are taken from a letter dated "Olt
River Lake, Aug. IT," written by a planter t.
his correspondent in this city;
1T is very hot here, and unusually sickly. Al
the flood draws OFT its waters, and bares the cX
posed surface to the action of the hot sun, tn,
atmosphere is filled with malaria, and fever i:
everywhere prevalent"
81 have today for the first time since tha
heavy rain, the 18th or 18th July, rode ovel
my fields to look at the crop, and am satisfied i
will turn out fair average where the cotton has
not been injured by the water, and go'nl one
if ne have dry weather from this to the middle
Of September I planted abont five hundred
acres, and have, | suppose, four hundred acre
Of good cotton left, besides more that is injured
and think can pretty safely anticipate four
hundred average bales"
"There is scarcely any place that is not in
jured either by the flood or the rains
Hthe plantation that is not injured more OF
less, in the river bottoms this year, is rare
one, and they arc few and far. between, l assure
you."
"What is known in the upper country as the
hog cholera is spreading through the country
here, with terrible fatality. Our hogs are dying
off by hundreds. 1t has already amounted to a
total sweep in places, and bids fair to annihiatc
the stock entirely. New Orleans Picayune

For the Advertiser.
EXPLANATORY.

As thore appears to be SOME Misunderstanding
about the report which published in tho last weckf
issue Of the Adrcrtse as Treasurer of the Board OF
Free Schools, regard it incumbent on me to submit
the following explanation. 1t is true that tho teach
ers did not receive the full amounts opposite their re-
spectivc namcs which is evident from the fact that
the amount Of accounts passed by the board was
S3gy9.s0 and the amount received from the State
only $S6OO,OO, consequently the amount reported due
the tcaehers in the aggregate is s3s9,SO, which Of
course il clear loss to them.
1t will be remembered that the accounts MS stated
in the report paid pro rata. The teachers re-
ccived only 70 cents in the dollar Oh tho;r accounts
for the last quarter which consumed the fund in the
hands Of the Treasurer.
