The Franklin Sun Of Friday last says that the dry
weather is seriously nuring the crops in that region
but there were prospects of rain.
The Pointe Coupee Echo of Saturday last has the
following
Our crops, we sorry to say are suffering greatly
for rain, and unless we have shortly, greater
part Of the corn will be entirely lost The cane, both
stubbe and plant we have never seen looking better
and gives promise Of crop equal to last year Not.
withstanding the many disadvantages under which
our planters have labored this year in being required
to work so constantly upon the evees to the neglect
of their crops we predict that the sugar crop of this
parish, with the present indications, will not fall
short of twenty thousand hogsheads.
The slave William, accused Of the crime of arson,
was tried on Saturday last and found guilty. he
was sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
DR.. Hale the Electro Biologist gave his first lee
ture in Shreveport on the evening of the 9Th inst
The Shreveport Southwestern of the sth says:
The river opposite this port has fallen about one
foot during the past week.
Last Tuesday, Mr.. James johnson, residing in this
parish, near Point Monterey was struck on the head
with a hoe, by one of his negro men, On Saturday
the District Attorney, Hinton Smith, Esq, tried tc
organize court for the purpose of trying the negro
but was unable to procure jury. The negro was com
mitted to Jail to await trial, but the way hther he
was taken away from the officers by number oil
citizens, who, it is said, intend to take the matter il
their own hands.
The Morehouse Advocate has the following:
The weather has been exceedingly sultry for the
past week, and the dust quite dsagreeable We are
needing rain very much indeed, and if it does not
soon come the crops will be materially injured. Corn
is assuming sickiy yellow hue in consequence, and
the earth in many places is perfectly parched. The
health of the community continues good
P.S.-Since writing the above we have had re-
freshing shower of rain.
We have something like cholera among the hogs
which is proving very destructive in many portions
of the parish. They are very suddenly taken with
frothing at the mouth, and die in remarkably short
time A great many have been found in and around
town which have died from this disease and it has
kept the authorities " busily engaged in hauling
| them away.
From the Rapides American, of Saturday last, We
extract the following:
The weather is still dry and hot. We have had NJ
rain for the past four five weeks, and the oorI
crop is suffering for the want of it. Our streets arr
very dusty We think it would be we'll for the Tow1
Council to have them watered occasionally.
Since writing the above we have had pleasant
and refreshing shower
Our river is falling rapidly at this point, and We
may expect that small craft :" will soon take the
place OF the floating palaces " which we have had
with us the past season,

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BY THE NATIONAL LINE.

LONDON, June 4.-Advces from impartial Italia n
sources fully confirm the capture of Paestro by the
Sardnians, and their second more glorious victory
over the enemy in twice defeating their attempt to
capture the place.
Another severe engagement had taken place t
Confrensa, in which the Austrians were again re-
pulsed with considerable loss.
The picket of the Austrians endeavored to cross
the Pc at Cervessara, but repulsed by the in.
habitants, and obliged to abandon the attack
The Austrans have evacuated Varo, and are retreat.
ing into Lombardy from various points.
At the second attempt to retake Palestro the Aus
trans were repulsed by the division of the sardin
ians under the command Of Gen. Cialdni, who has
risen from peasant to the rank of General of the
| Sandman army.

made on Tuesday, the 3lst ult.
Accounts from Garibaldi's headquarters cay that a
numerous corps having arrived before Varese, he or
dered the National Guard not to resist, but to fall

| Maggiore, but was abandoned without result.
| General Bontems commander-in.chief of the Fede-

horn too much doing his best to put an end to the
poor worlans misery. The widower tried to scare
the goat away, but he wouldn't be scared. He tried
to help the lady up, when butt came the head of the
goat against himself. and two butts together came
for the goat gave him another, and down he fell

horn of the goat and spoiled an eight dollar pair of

The Washington Constitution of the 10th publishes


the following official intelligence
The certificate of the Governor of Alabama of the

see Railroad-frOm Selma north-has been received
at the General Land Office. This certificate is made
in accordance with an act of Congress granting lands
to the road.
The Navy Department has directed Naval Board
OF Engineers to assemble at New York the 11th of
July next, to xamine candidates for promotion or
admission in the engineer corps of the United States
Navy.
The Agricultural Bureau of the United States Pa
tent Office has just received case of teaseed from
Hong-kong, per ship Eagle. Another lot, now on
their way on board the ship Romance of the Seas,
these seeds received by every mail. Most of the
applications come from the Southern States. The
plant may be cultivated as far north the southern
portion of New York, and propose trial of the
seed in Massachusetts,. In China, tea is grown in
climates that make ice of ten inches during the
winter
A i" startling" article in the New York Herald of
the Sth inst, under the imposing head, astonishing
frauds in the PostOfice Department. coolly states
that recent Investigations in the Post Office Depart.
ment lead to the belief that that Department loses
one million OF dollars year by the of counterfeit
and washed postage stamps.
We find, on inquiry, that no investigation has been
made leading to the belief, or even the suspicion,
that such startling and wholesale frauds have been
committed. On the contrary, careful investigation
in the Department has led to the conclusion that al
and washed stamps in payment of POSTAGE such at
tempts are rarely successful, and that consdera-
BILE loss to the revenue has resulted from this abuse.
We find that the Department has no reason to be-.
lieye-ether from proof or reasonable presumption
that there has been any counterteiting of postage
stamps since their Introduction into the service. The
sale of postage stamps has increased aud is ncreas-
ing from year to year in nearly uniform ratio.
Surely this could not be the if the statements
of the Herald be true Moreover it would be next to
impossible to Introduce counterfeit stamps to any
considerable extent without exciting suspicion, ex.
cept it may be through the agency o. dishonest post
office officials; and in this way it would not be pos
sble to succeed without assistance in all the principal
Offices of the Union In office could many spuri-
ous stamps be sold because the diminished demand
for the legitimate stamps would necessarily at
arrest the attention of the postmaster.
