Signated for the last seven wears:

The arrivals Of steamboats, continue numerous,
notwithstanding the extreme low stage of the river
Yet, there many arrivals from the tributaries: :
say from the Arkansas, 1azoo, Red and Ouachlta
rivers; but is there no communication direct by
water, with the Bayou Teche, Opeousas, and the
Southwestern parishes, only via and over the 0pe-
lousas Railroad. The great and manifold advan-
tages of this road the Southwestern districts of
our State are now being more than apparent. A
good lift that s q real solid movement towards
this road the coming season, will be productive of
almost fabulous results, not only to the CONNER
cial interests of New Orleans but to the great ag
ricultura interests of both Louisiana and Texas.
There is no mistake, whatever, about this Opelou-
| sas Railroad.
| Of course there were the usual remarks yester-
day about the weather being highly favorable for
cotton planters, but directly reverse to the sugar

dry for anything of a satisfactory result to the
sugar interest The gimet rangers have, however,
got to work at the depot, and among the sales of
the past two days we note 100000 gallons molasses
sold in cstern on plantation at 35 cents per gallon,
and some other transactions of equally as favora-
| BILE result to planters The movements at large in
sugar restricted in great degree, from the diff
| fcultes of navigation with the West. But short or
| long crops, molasses at b cents and sugar at 65
cents, on an average, will of course pay, though
the prospects for higher range of prices are fair

TALK ON CHANGE.

The commercial community and the public in
general were taken by surprise yesterday morning
reading our telegraphic dispatches, announcing
the passing off Cape Race of the steamer Hunga.
rian en- route for the village" of Portland, Me-,
bringing dates and advices from Liverpool up to
the I'd inst, anticipating the regular weekly advice
of the Asia of 29th ult On taking review of the
commercial advices, we find that they are en-
tremclv unsafe on which to base operations. The
advance in cotton can only be attributed to the
scarcity of certain qualities. In fact the quotation
of 7G7-l6d. is onnous of Woe in face of the yield
of 1859 True, it will help out nanny shippers and
several thousand bales of cotton, but the advance
is a harbinger of woe and losses. The Liverpool
market is leading and tending to an unsafe state of
affairs. We look on this cotton question calmly
and dspasionately; our feelings, our proclivities
are all in favor of the planting and cultvators in
fact we go for the South and its institutions right
or wrong. We cannot, therefore, be charged with
a leaning in favor of English interests, but We do
say that the advance in cotton, as announced yes
| terday will, if followed up, be attended with the
drest evils. 1t may be said or talked of, that it is
none of our business if Manchester spinners in
Liverpool choose to give a shilling pound for cot
| ton. We admit that, but we look further ahead.
We look to the ultimate reaction on the great COM
mercal and financial interests Eve may add social
interests) of our city therefore, to be brief, we
have to say that we have no faith or confidence
whatever in the advance af our great staple as an
nounced, and this is the talk of our Oldest most
intelligent and judicious merchants. But stop-it
may be remarked we are talking too fast. 1t Is
undeniable that the stock of clean and good cotton
in Liverpool was remarkably low at last accounts
though there was superabundance of low and
ordinary qualities, some of which could not be sole
at four pounds sterling or $40 " bale, and goot
clean cotton might command 73@sd. u tb.
The talk has been that with sufficient force, tina
is, descendants of Africa, the great Southwes
could turn off every year good supply of cotton
regardless of what might be raised in India fo
direct account of MIR. Bull. The shipments t.
Liverpool from the United States foot up to th
10th inst. from the ls of September last, largely il
excess of previous years. The following figure

oNIY A. SHADOW.

She sits in the window high and dreary,
And night is stealing across the park;
She searches until her eyes grow weary .
The mystery under the deep'ning dark.
There is an oak in the far-of darkness,
Rseth aloft like giant old,
And right above in the dusky nearness
Frowneth turret dark and bold.
The shadows fall like heavy fingers
Upon her eyes in the dreary room;
She shuts them-the wasting image fingers
Of all she saw in the growing gloom.
All who is near? what hand in greeting
Has she clasped unhidden between her own?
And her heart though never quickly beating,
Is beating in marvel and fear alone.
The hand of the night is very dear to her,
The arm of the night is about her form,
The lips of the night are very near to her,
And the breath of the summer night is warm
His unseen locks are upon her forehead,
How humanity waving and soft and light!
And sudden resstless impulse carried
Her lips to the lips of the shadowy night.
She must have been dreaming sitting lionel.
Willing away the dreary hour;
The land is dark, for the young moon only
A crescent of silver hangs over the tower.
She must have dreamed-the world reposes
So silently under the starlight fair,
And-the fairies lift the three white roses
That fell on her hands when she loosed her hair

Dusty Cotton.

The appended letter is from the pen of an es-
teemed friend-one who has had large expe-
rience in raising cotton, and consequently, one
whose opinion is worthy of consideration. We
commend the letter to the careful perusal of al
who are interested in the great Southern staple:
BLACK RIVER La, Nov. ID, 1859.
NeSsrs. Editors-Permit me to say word in re-
lation to dusty and sandy cotton" observe
that writer in your paper of 10Th ult. has given
an explanation of the causes producing this dust
and sand; but he is not exactly correct. The
writer referred to says the storm cotton, that
which has been beaten from the bolls by the
weather. is the dusty and sandy cotton of New Or
leans classification. 1t is true that such cotton
will have some dust in it, but not so much as cot
ton gathered without having had a drop of rain
upon it, but which has remained open for long
time in the field. A very dry season will cause
more dusty cotton than wet one does. The great
drought which has prevailed this season causes
disintegration of the surface soil in the fields and
clouds of dust raised and driven by the autumn
winds over cotton fields white with open bolls.
The cotton collects great quantity of dust in this
manner which is not perceived until it is subjected
to the ginning process, when it becomes very appa
rent.
Thus cotton of fine color and staple, free from
leaf also. will be found dusty in the sample paper
on a merchants table. 1t would seem, however,
that the quantity of dust in such cotton must be
too small to make so much uproar about, and cer-
tainly ought not to be as Objectionable as leaf,
which no machinery can take out after cotton is
ginned. There may have been some fraudulently
packed bales sent to New Orleans-packed with a
| shorel-and ! suppose every man who sees the
slightest dust in cotton sample fears that guam
tity of earth is in the middle of the bale. The
writer in the Crescent is very correct as to his
view of the way to get rid of the dust; it must be
done by fans or trashers on the plantation, before

~ fsr THE RATIONAL LIs..1

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE mails BY the citv If
Baltimore, which left Queenstown on the 9th nj,
contain some items of general interest in addition
to the telegraphic summary by the North Ameri-
can.
We have also some further details Of the Hunga-
rians advices to the I'd inst, but the non-aiyal Of
the ASIA over due, at this port, with regu-
lar weekly commercial and general news report
renders the accounts incomplete and less intel.
ligible.
1t expected that offensive operations be-
tween Spain and Morocco would commence on or
about the sth of November.
Count Coloredo, the Austrian plenipotentiary at
the Zurich Conference, is Dead and Count Caro-
1.-the has been appointed by the Emperor to repre-
sent Austria at the Conference, in his place.
The report by the City of Baltimore, which il
contradicted by the Hungarian's advices, was to
the effect that the French Minister of War had
placed material of war at the disposal of Spain,
and had agreed to render the same aid to Spain
against Morocco as had been rendered Piedmont
| against Austria.
| us reported that Congress of European pow
ers will soon assemble, and it is believed than an
English Plenipotentiary will sit in the Congress.
England and France reported to be better dis
| posed to unite in a European Congress.
/ The French Minister of the Interior, the Duke Of
Padua, has resigned, and has been superseded by
| NJ. Burnault
The French expeditionary force against Morocco
in conjunction with Spain, has been augmented by
addition of two brigades, including two regiment:

Later from Mexico.

By the arrival yesterday of the steamship Ten
nesse, we received dates from Vera Cruz to the
9th.
The coast of Vera Cruz has been visited by
severe norther, which, beginning on the 22d ult,
lasted full ten days. This is doubtless the storm
in which portion of our own shipping was caught
and suffered so severely. The English steamer
from Havana did not get into Vera Cruz till the lst
inst, and the Spanish mail steamer did not get off
till the same day she not being able to land her
cargo before on account of the violence of the
storm
There is no decided change in the political con-
dtion of the country. In the Vera Cruz Progeso
of the Sth we find it stated that Gen. Marquee,
commandant in Guadalajara, received at Leon the
conducta sent from Mexico to the Pacific coast
This conducta consisted of 81, 500 OOO and on
its arrival at Guadaajara Marquee levied tax of
5000 900 upon it. The remainder of the conducta,
excepting few small sums privately consigned in
Guadaaara was deposited in the house of NIessrs.
Sonrellera & Hernandez, subject to the order of
Marquee, and the P1ogreso thinks he would take
possession of the money whenever he should re-
duire it. The Progreso of the Sth says this news
| arrived there on Sunday last. Mr.. Mathews, the
British Minister in place of Mr.. Otway, had pro-
tested energeticaly against the high-handed meas
ure, and it was supposed Mons. Gabrac would do
so also. Miramon declares Marquee traitor, and
at last accounts was preparing to crush him in
conjunction with Gen. Woll.

PRENTIcIANA.-A correspondent asks why Ger.
tain kind of hckory-tree is called the 'pig-nut."
We presume because it takes deep root.
1t is reported that Goveror Wise will respite old
Brown taking him under his special protection and
into sort of personal companionship at Richmond
for a month or more, out of pure admiration for
the man, and to show his own magnanimty. But
it may be question whether old Browns consent
can be obtained. Old Ossawattome is strange
man and might prefer the Jail and the gallows to
Gov Wise's parlor and Gov. Wise's talk.
Hear what our friend of the Richmond Wing says
of the editor of the Washington Star:
He would sell his soul, if he had one, for thirty
pieces of silver. He is professional jobber and
swindler, and derives his meat and bread from
habitual depredations upon the public treasury He
would lie or steal or murder, without any hesita-
ton, for those who would pay him."
We don't know that the editor of the Star would
really do all these terrible things, but we strongly
suspect that he would steal chickens if the fighting
old rooster were not about, and the old hen were
not very fierce.

fine, but you never shall handle silver of mine,
