The Bayou Sara Ledger of Saturday says:
1t has now been nearly six weeks since we have
had any rain in this parish, and the dust is insufea
bic. Indeed it would seem from all appearances that
We are not to be blessed with shower for many
long day yet.
The Jackson Parish Times Of the 24th says
The gathering Of the cotton crop progresses very
rapidly giving proof positive thai the crop of this
year will be at least onethird shorter than that Of
1 any previous year for many years past, This eoT-
roates the intelligence we have from all parts of the
hill lands OF North Louisiana. We have observed
several bales Of new cotton pass through town on the
way TO shipping point.
The Planters Banner Of the 3sth has the foIewing
paragraphs:
With the exception of a few cases Of yellow fever
at Pattersonve and Brashear, our parish has in the
last TWO weeks been very healthy And with the ex-
ceptlon Of the sickness at these two places and
mild type OF scarlet fever our parish has been veYy
healthy for several months.
The sugar crops IN this parish fI not be as large
az was expected previous to August. The north
winds and cool nights have sweetened the cane
rapidly, and active preparations for sugar making
are going on all over the parish, good rain would
benefit the cane, the gardens and the roads, which
are becoming intoerably dusty.
The mail boat between Plaqaenine and ChareatOn,
in this parish has been stopped by order Of Board
of Health The existence Of yellow fever at Plaque
mine epidemic, Is the cause Of this order being
given. They have had no quarantine at Plaquenine
and but short time since the Sentinel was rejoicing
over the good health of their town. A quarantine
cannot make town more sicky-it may save scores
of valuable lives
The banks Of the Mississippi appear to be eaving
pretty extensively as the water recedes In some
places the old eyee IS entirely destroyed by this
caviDg, and new ones will have to be built in their
places BY the first Of December. This Is particularly
trying to those planters upon whom the burden ofre
constructing the leYee falls. Sugar making and
2 leVee building cannot be carried on by the same
force at the time. Still the evee must be built
and the sugar made before the first Of January.
The Paquemine Sentinel of Saturday last says
1t affords US pleasure to say that the epidemic
which made its advent amongst us with a Wrulenct
as fatal as it was alarming has evidently taken its de
parture if may be allowed to judge from the fac
: that no new cases have occurred for several day
past and at present there but two three unde
treatment. Under this favorable change, the New
Orleans purses we're no longer required and they
, were accordingly discharged, and sincerely trust
: that their services will not again be needed.
a The fever has been exceedingly fatal in all case
: where the stricken were unacciimated and we dOub
q very much If there has been a single case Of puT
E. yellow fever among different class. There being n
q more subjects then is the We presume of th
i discontnuanee of the epidemic. Two or three VIII
were sick when our paper went to press last weeh
have since died. We hear Of one only thus far VIII
it has recovered, after being severely attacked. A
Il. present we hear of but two cases in town uude
treatment
The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, Of Saturday, says
In. consequence Of the prevailing sickness in th
70 and the adjoining parishes, bis honor Judge Beal
=. will hold no court here on Monday next. AthOug
,s our parish is decidedly the healthest OF the thre
. comprised in this Judicial District, we cannot bu
: applaud the determination of the Judge.
;. ;. The Madison Gazette, of Saturday last, says:
There were nine deaths at the city hospital durin
,. the week eight of which were from yellow fever
J. four Of which have been previously reported. Th
If mortality of yellow fever, since last report Sa
urday morning, has therefore been four, all at til

at We regret to have to state that several new CASE
a. have developed themselves within the city limits
in the past few days.
