: States Marshal arrived yesterday morning at
, an early nour Oh board of tire steamboat
KimbalI, having i4 custody Coz. j Anderson
and Captains Maury, Fayssoux and Scott,
with some seventy-tive men, captured at the
Balize. The Marshal found the whole party
! encamped at the mouth of the river. It is
| said they were eating chowter, and generally
amusing themselves, when the Government
official approached them and showed them
the warrants for their arrest .
Col. Anderson and his men surrendered
| without resistance, but protested against their
arrest, representing that they were nothing
but a fishing party, and that the Government
had no business to break up their party.
WI en- they got on board of the Kimt,al! they
also objected to the detachment of United
States troops on board, as they had only sur
rendered to the mandates Of a civil tribunal.
The Moshal had the troops transpo: ted on
board of the Enoch Train. and kir1ba! start
cd up stream with her load Of passengers,
the Enoeh Train following.
Messrs. Anderson, Ma.,ry, I7ayssoux and
Scott signed bonds yesterday TOR their APP
pearancc before the United States Commits
sioner. The balance of the party had been
left at the United States Barracks, below the
Third District, and will remain there until
further ORDERS. They are under the care Of
two Deputy Narshalls, but there is no mill
tarv force at the Barracks.
P. S.-Since writing the above we have
been credib9y informed that the returned FL
~i''usters who had been left in charge Of the
Deputy Marshals at the barracks, dispersed
yesterday evening. upon the invitation Of two
OF their chiefs to that effect. We understand
that they have returned 70 the city. What
course the United States Marshall will adopt
will be seen heieafteI.-Cuzp1er, S1sz1ov.

by one hired hand, has raised a crop Of cot
ton, for which one Of his reiehbors offered
him: a few lays ago, FIFTY BAGS Of cotton,
just as it stood in the latter part Of August
He had1n cultivation thirty five acres, and the
entire yield. it is thought by good judges. will
be seventy bags: worth net: at fair calculation,
THREE thousand five hundred collars.
His outlay, beyond his " labor, was not
more perhaps than fifty dollars. Whatstock
he worked we have not been informed: but
not probably more than one horse, for we
know one Prov steadily piled is capable of
cultivating thlrty-tive acres Of cotton on light
soil in q favorable season as the last has
been.
This may seem a toegh story to our read
ers in the old States, and we vii! not risk
our reputation by touching Tor it, though we
'1uI'y believe it to be strictly and literally
true. tits indeed extraordinary cropping,
even in Louisiana. Mr.. Barnes's plantation
lies Oh BAYOU PIERRE, IN Natchitoches parish.
His address is Natchitoches: and If any of
our distant readers want the facts from head
quarters, let them address him, or Rev. n.
Scarborough at the same place.
