SuLrnuEous RAN.-The telegraph has, on two sew
cra occasloS announced rains in Vicksburg, which left
the surface of the earth covered with very thir coat
ing of something resembling sulphur The last tele-
graphic dispatch from there about the weather. reports
frost and says nothing about the sulphur. The sui
phur has friz out. We have the same suphurous
coating on the streets of Mobile lately several times af
ter rain. We have always seen it in the spring time
everywhere where there trees to begin put forth
blooms and leaves. We have seen the atmosphere
wear suphurouS hue especially in extensive pine for
ests from the vast quantity of apable dust thrown
Oft in the blooming process We think the solution Of
the sulphur question is to be found in the fact that
getation had begun to put forth in Vcksburg and that
the trees thereabous assisted by the verant Geographic
correspondent of the New Orleans press in whom the

The AFRICAN APPRENTICE BILL RECEIVES IT'S Our
ErUs-On Saturday. 9Th inst, the African Apprentice
Bill of the last session up in the House OF Repre-
sentaves of the Louisiana Legislature and received its
quieus by being laid upon the table by vote OF 81
ayes to II noes. A motion to reconsider was also
tabled which put final end to the most abortive and
ridiculous scheme brought before our Legislature
To show the force of this VOTE rather the force OF
public opinion in Louisiana upon this measure, it must
be borne in mind that the same body that has con
demned it emphaticay, last year voted in favor oft
by large majority The members obliged to face
their record and vote this year against what they
supported last year. There was therefore, severe con-
fict The pride of opinion had to be overcome. They
compelled to acknowledge that they wrong IN
giving this scheme their support else still to support
it. Under these circumstances therefore 1t must DC
evident that the force of their convictions in opposition
to the BILL derived from reflection from intercourse WIN
their constituents, and public opinion, must have been
great they could have been induced to reverse
their votes and condemn at one session what they sup
ported at the preceding one. We congratulate lLe
House upon the result OF this exhibition of the secVnu
sober thoL ght The design of the sehemerS at the a
session was to rush the abomnabe bill through IN NV
haste not to give the people of the State time "
pass upon it. This barely defeated in the oenae
The scheme was referred to the people, and the peo
with rare unanmity, reprobated it from beginning "
