From the Caddo Gazette Of the 1871 we extract
/ the following:
There has been severn heavy f7oatz in the last
wees am The weather has 0ee exceedingly cold Tor
/ the season. Ducks are abundant 10 the lakes, and
/ our hunters and sp0rtsrnen are not "makng hay
while the sun shines but bagging ducks and snipe
/ while tile weather remains cold.
The river has risen more than twelve feet from low
water and il still advancing at the rate 81 six inches
~ tTentyOur hours The heavy rise had not reached
| the falls when the steamer Arkansas passed over
them. At present. there can be no obstacle to pre-
vent our largest boats from entering at once into the
/ trade. Freights will decline as soon as the rise
| reaches the mouth Of Red river This viii enable
the Red river packets to run into the trade, and
lie7e our crowded warehouses Of thousands OF bales
| OF cotton which should be thrown upon the markets
of the world,
The Franklin Sun Of the 18th says:
The gin the Brown estate in this parish was
burnt Friday last and 10 pressed bales Of cotton
and about 10 ia the lint room were destroyed with it.
| The fire originated from friction, and Of course
spread with the greatest rapidity The cotton in the
! lat room exploded as if it had been gunpowder,
/ taking off the roof, Of the shingles Of which
were carried high in the air. Some Of the negroes
came very near getting burnt in the attempt to
some Of the cotton.
In the Claiborne Advocate Of the 10th, we find the
following paragraphs:
The bulk Of the cotton crop Of this parish has been
that the crop will turn out much better than
cipated in the early part Of the season. 1t is now
believed that two-thirds Of crop will be made in
the parish.
There was white frost at this place on Saturday
morning last.
A fine old buck went bounding through our town
just outside Of thepublic square Sunday last in
utter defiance Of ali law, and to the great mortifca
ton Of our city fathers.

OF Christians at Jeddah less to religious fanaticism
than to secular motives, the native merchants having
long looked with jealousy upon the monopolizng
movements Of the Greek merchants. OF the effects of
the bombardment Of the place. in retaliation for the
massacre, the same correspondent says:
If it were of no consequence whether the lives
taken and the property destroyed by Countrymen
at Jeddah the lives and property Of the innocent
or the guilty, should feel bound to say that the full
tale Of satisfaction has been already rendered. Many
people-traders, pilgrims, and, perhaps, even few
OF the resident inhabitants have pershed-sOme by
shot and shell, but more BY hunger thirst and priya
tons Of all kinds; by the lance of the Bedouin aud
the sabres Of the Turkish troops sent for the double
purpose Of punishment and protection. At the date
OF the last adyices the town was deserted food
scarcely to be had, except at famine prices A small
jar OF water sold at three dollars and all the roads
leading to the port, men, women and children,
stripped Of all their vauabes and unable to procure
food or shelter, lying down in heaps to die. All
the Chief merchants had fed, or were in hiding at
Cairo or elsewhere, their vessels having been sunk
burnt by the fire Of the Cycops, and their houses on
shore Quilted by the eager plunderers who found their
way through shotholes and broken roofs to the OBJ
jeCts OF their Cnpdity. fearful vengeance has been
inflicted, severe lesson taught but upon whom the
penalty has been levied and what fruits are likely to
follow the teaching are topics which the public at
home won't do well to dwell upon for a moment,
