The DROUGHT continues, and the dust in the
streets has grown to be terrible nuisance. Yester
day there were clouds and haze, which seemed to
announce the near approach Of rain
THE LOUISIANA RoPE FAcroRY was entirely n.
stroyed by fire. with all Its machinery and contents
yesterday, the fire breaking ont at about 10 O'clock
The factory was the large and welLknown building
at the corner Of Tchoupitoulas and Ninth streets,
Fourth District.
The fire was swift and iercely terrific ush one
as the fremen could offer but feeble resistance to-
even with the river in the close vicioity the rigel
being near enough but so low as to bealmost out Of
reach.
The factory belonged to the Louisiana Manufact
uring Company, and1 as valued at $30, ,s00-insured
for 225o0; machinery valued at s45 ,000-insured
for $33,750; stock valued at $27,000-insured for
$4,000. Total loss 100000; total insurance s76
$50.
The following offices in this city have risks as fol
lows: The New Orleans Insurance Company, 81, !
600; the Union Insurance Company, $4,000 !; the
Citizens Insurance Company, s10O00 the Mer-
chants Insurance Company, $4,000 the Star In
surance Company, $1,000; $4,000 in the agencies
represented by Mr.. Fairchild and 5000 in the
agency Of Mr. Doane.
The fire started in place called the cottonbox,
over the engine-room. How it started was not
known.
EXCITING MArcH.-Yesterday afternoon quite an
excitement was visible on the Delachaise ground,
where the Empire and Louisiana Base Ball Clubs
came together in a return game for the honors Of
victory. The Empire boys took the "horns," as

TALK ON CHANGE,

The talking yesterday on the flags was bref-the
Canadas advices from Liverpool not being announc.
ed, the movements all round were moderate. By
reference to our marine list it will be observed that
the arrivals were very numerous that the receipts of
produce were large, and that good demand exists
for Western products particularly for South Alabama
and Texas that the regular conveyances between
this and Mobile not of sufficient capacity to meet
the requirements of shippers that there should be
80 large quantities of freight offering at this early
period of the season denotes that the stock of pro-
duce and merchandise in Alabama, West Georgia and
Florida are very low. m-.
The further talk was of the continued dry weather.
Every day of similar weather as yesterday adds ten
thousand bales to the cotton crop. Late yesterday
evening the skies denoted change, that is rain was
supposed not to be far off Last year on this day we
had to talk of the weather in the following stran
1t is supposed that every body was aware that the
weather was warm and favorable for the crops. The
rain could not have extended far In fact we hardly
think that the dust has been laid throughout the
country. In the meantime, the great staple is coming
freely to market.
something analogous to October of last year. There
is no epidemic at this time to contrast At the same
time there is very little business doing. Cottor
comes to market freely, much in excess of last year
Every vessel and every steamboat arriving adds tt
| our population, and Notwithstanding the high sani
tary condition Of our city, there is deficiency in ar
rivals of vessels and the available tunnage now il
port is much less than at this time last year. Somt
folks, merchants OR shippers may talk that there il
no employment whatever for vessels in Northern
ports, and that ship owners must send their vessels

As we have published sundry articles rejecting
upon the conduct of the Vigilance Committees in the
Atakapas parishes it is but fair that we should gve
as we have done on several OCCASIONS both sides
just hearing. Doubtless many of the reports and
publications that have been made are highly colored
and exaggerated. T
The following article is taken from the Opelousas
Courier Of the lst inst The request contained in the
last paragraph is altogether proper and reasonable
and we trust it will be needed by the press. The
viglants should not be condemned by popular opin-
ion unheard and the Courier, it seems to u.s. rather
intimates that full explanation will be made in due
season. 1t should be made as soon as practicable.
Her is what our Opeousas cotemporary has to say /:
Some of our exchanges come to US filled with ru-
mors of outrages committed by the Vigilance Com
mittees Of this and neighborng parishes, which, we
think are too gross for the belief of even the most
credulous. They bear upon their very front the i'm.
press of the mint whence they come, the haunts Of
the villains who have been justly expelled from So
ciety Of honorable men.
II half of the tales told to excite the sympathy Of
those not cognizant of the real facts true our
contemporaries would have good for the express
sion OF that indignation against the action of the
Vigilants which they are now unjustly, but lgno.
ranty pouring out upon the heads Of men worthy Of
commentator rather than blame.
Are not the names of the gentlemen at the head
of these organizations with their honorable and we'll
known records, both at home and abroad guarantee
that all has been well done, at least, until reliable
proof is offered that their present action is giving
the lie to the whole tenor of their former lives!
Gentlemen of the press, reserve your Judgments
till you know all the circumstances from reliable
sources, the necessity which compelled the honest
Of some Of our parishes to do as they have done
in driving from their midst band OF thieves and
scoundrels, then blame them, If you can. DO not
give your censure unwillingy when it may not be
deserved.

A MATRIMONIAL DRAMA.-The Paris (Ky.) Flag
states that the country in and around Head Quar-.
ters," Nicholas county, in that State had been for
many weeks terribly excited about a big wedding"
at which everybody was to be present, and which
was to come off regardless of expense. The parties
to be married were Mr.. James H and Miss Anna
Y. j.. Everything went on smoothly till the
night before the wedding (the marriage was to take
place in the morning and the oifcaton to last all
day. when the young lady, instead of going to her
bed, packed up few clothes. and at midnight left
the house in company with Mr.. Frank c., and as
fast horse flesh could carry them, sped for Aber
deen Ohio where, as day was breaking, they were
married.

athe mouth ofthe Mississippi for weeks and months
ship owners will not send their vessels hunting busi-

in port today compared with last year at this time
There are now at the levee iftynine ships Of 49796

cotton must pay higher average. While talking OF
large losses sustained by ship owners last year, it

factory to know from Com. Marcy how much his ship
Sarah L. Pettgrew made last year. 1t would go far
to show that the profits agriculture and maritime
pursuits are not equtably divided. Then we might
solicit information from large cotton planter for an
exhibit Of his profits. The figures would prove an
immense preponderance Of gains and returns in favor
Of the growers of cotton, and that investments in
vessels have not yielded return Of six per cent for
some years past. We are knowing to the fact that
many fine vessels laid up in Northern ports, and
there the owners determined they shall remain in
preference to going hunting. They will be moved
under direct charters, when based on substance.
True, some few large vessels may be dispatched
prospecting but the talk is, they will be few and
far between.
The further talk was, what detains the Canada

Bart, with the subsidy of the British Government,
is becoming economical in fuel-havng forced Amer
lean steamers from the ocean, takes his own time.
AS regards the puny efforts of Mr.. Vanderbilt to
compete with the Cunard line. Sir Samuel snaps his
fingers and bids defiance, since the gross and unwar
rantable neglect of our Government to support the
| Collins line of steamers.
The further talk was of the very lame and trifing
apology of Mr.. PostmasterGeneral Holt in relieving
New Orleans of the burthen of communication with
| California unless via New York.

SURVEYS IN FLoRIDA-Letters of instruction to
the Surveyor General of Florida relative to the sur
vey of portion Of the Southern everglades are being
prepared at the General Land Office. The deputy
surveyor who contracted to survey the most south
ery of the line of townships yet contracted for, hav-
ing been driven back to Tampa by hostile Indians,
after he had completed portion Of his work, has
stated that in order to enable him to secure second
outfit and make another effort to prosecute the work
he will require additional compensation and larger

instructed by the General Land Office to extend tht
contract and make small increase of the amcunt
