New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-07-26

The Franklin Sun Of the 18th inss. says


The weather yesterday was intensely bot. For
some days previous it was cool, and the nights were
quite cool. We have had number oE pleasant
showers.
AS general thing, the weather has been very IA
vorable for the crops, but we have heard that some
localities have been unfortunate enough to miss all
the late rains, and hence bad off n the crop line.
The St. Martins Iberian Of Saturday last says:
It Is with the greatest pleasure that we hear Of fiat
tering accounts from many parts of our parish OF
the cane, though small, there Is good stand, and
many Of our planters are confident of making an
average crop. The corn crop, we are informed from
reliable source, will be quite large, and there are
many who are now waiting for propitous weather to
secure their crops.
The Ponte Coupee Democrat Of Saturday last says
No more propitious weather could be desired for
the planting interest than we have had for the past
two weeks The monotony Of warm and sultry
weather has been revived by pleasant daily showers
Hence the sugar cane is growing with great rapdy,
and this fine spell Of weather will do much to repair
the injury caused by the long draught during the
first part OF the season.
Some cotton planters, however, complain Of the
rust il their cotton.
The health Of the parish is SO far very good.
We learn from the Concordia Inteligencer of Fri.
day last that rain is greatly needed in that region.
The Winn Parish Mail Of the l4th says:
The crops in this parish far as we have learned,
are in fiourshng condition and bespeak bountiful
harvest. We have been visited by continual showers
Vi Tue past Week WHICH nave luCTedSeu tuc
prospects Of the and cotton crop ten.fold. We
learn this morning that Dr.. Bouts plantation at
St. Maurice, that the Doctor, in riding through his
field, found and plucked several bos of cotton which
had matured, and bis corn and cotton crop Is much
better than anticipated This plantation has pro-
4 duced the first new cotton we have heard of.
| The De Soto Columbian Of the 10th says:
| Yesterday and the day before rushed the mer-
curry higher up by several dots than any other days
of the summer. 1t is now some dozen degrees
warmer than or beasts comfort would desire. 1t
is too hot to write, work. play eat drink sleep or to
do anything esebut we have to stand it for several
| long weeks more. &4r
The Caddo Gazette Of the 16th has the following:
In the early part Of the week we had fine rains in
this locality. The crops on the hills very
good and the cotton is at least two weeks in advance
Of last year. We have heard serious complaints Of
drouth in some districts. We have visited several
plantations on Red river and do not hesitate to assert
that the corn and cotton crops are magnificent I'm
less the season is wet and stormy, there will be more
than bale to the made Red river from Loggy
Bayou to the Raft.
The St. Mary's Banner, Of Saturday last, says:
/ We have had, and continue to have daily showers
more or less copous but on Monday night, as the
great wateringpot about sprinkling us with the
usual amount Of the requisite element, the bottom
dropped out and the entire contents of the vast ma
chine came down upon us in the shape of miniature
deluge. Truly, we are getting enough and to spare
and will soon be sick Of good thing, and long to
see little dust again by way OF change.
