Louisiane Intelligence,
The Mount Lebanon Baptist of the 2lst say

The Mount Lebanon Baptist of the 2lst says:
No rain yet, Tuesday 10, though there seem to
be favorable indieations--elouds and thunder. and
damper atmosphere. In day or two We hope
it will come abundantly. 1t would be most CRATE
fully received now, and would greatly benefit some
fields.
The editor of the Baptist recently paid visit to
Bossier parish, and says:
= We observed the drought bore heavily upon the
crops in that parish even worse, if possible, than
here. We saw large fields ruined literally ruined
rain or no rain. Cotton is looking extremely well,
some as early as the 5th which is q week or ten
days earlier than usual, As a general thing the
cotton crop is promising, the dry weather suting
it exactly; the corn crop Is anything else but
promising now, though rain in a few days would
work a Wondrous change for the better, while a
delay of two weeks more or even one, with the
hot winds we have had will prove most disastrous.
The Claiborne Advocate of the 10th says;
The prospects for good crops in this parish, which
up to the present time were never more tiattering,
now begin to look gloomy and uncertain in the ex-
treme. The fact il, our corn crop is already cnt
off from one.fonrth to one-half, and If we do not
have rain within the week. the crop must prove an
almost entire failure. The cotton crop is not suf
fering SO much as the corn, but needs rain very
much.
The oat and wheat crops Of the parish have re
suited ia complete failures on account of the pro
/ tracted drought. We have not had rain suffcien
i to wet the earth thoroughly, for the last three o.
4 four months--an extraordinary occnrrence-fh

ton OF country. Our gardeEs are literally burnin

The sam Juan Difficulty.

from Victoria, says:
told you before that two frigates and two gum
boats were expected here every day. That this is
not on account of San Juan is shown by the fact
that the Satellite has been ordered home, Commits
sioner and all this proves that the affairs of San
Juan are no longer to be entrusted to Commission
ers, but will be otherwise settled. These Com
.missioners have cost their respective Governments
little money but, what is worse, no little annoy
ance, for the fact cannot be denied, that had they
asserted their rightful authority the unpleasant
affair of San Juan would not have happened.
By the by, some new facts have transpred re-
gardng that question, by which it will be seen how
much the world has been deceived as regards the
truth, and how some people have trumped up tales
to suit their own climbing propensities. It would
appear that General Harney has been making some
aggressions upon the Hudson Bay Gompany's pos
sessions at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia river,
and when called upon for an explanation, states
that the Company's time had expired, and in fact,
that they were now only permitted to remain on
suferance, ana by courtesy. In the course Of cor
respondence, some matters relating to San Juan
came up, and as Mr.. Dallas happened to be at
Vancouver, he took the opportunity of writing to
General Harney the letter which send you.

Later from Japan.


By the arrival, says the Alta California of the
9th inst, of the Ida d. Rogers, We have some very
brief news from Japan. The memoranda of the
vessel (and her news should be twelve days later
than that brought by the schooner Page, as r
time is reported 2s5 days from Kanagawa1 says:
The government was in an unsettled state; a
battle had been fought near Ieddo, in which one
Prince had been killed. Fears were entertained
that an attack would be made on Kanagawa--so
much SO that the shipping in the harbor were noti-
fed to hold themselves in readiness; that. they
could not be protected by the Government.
The Page brought news of the assassination (af-
terwards modified to an attempt at assassination)
Of Prince Gc-Taro, and this vessel has news of a
battle in which :. a Prince . is killed. but whether
this is the result following the death of Prince Co
Taro, or different version Of the first story, can
not be learned from this brief report 1t is likely
that we will have other particulars--if this be
,seees-in the letter of our correspondent, which
we will undoubtedly receive to-day.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

THE HoME- Book OF HEALTH AND MEDICINE. By
w. a. Alcott, NJ. d. Philadelphia: G. q. Evans.
This is a work which should be in the library of
every intelligent family. 1t is really remarkable
what an amount of information and practical good
sense is contained within its limits, and with sim
plicty of style it is conveyed to be perfectly
ineligible to everybody. The writer, though
physician, is strenuously opposed to the abuse or
frequent use of medicine, and devotes his work to
the means Of creating and maintaining health other
than those coming from the apotheeary's. Among
the subjects ably and Interestingly discussed, we
find the mechanism and laws of digestion, breath
ing and ventilation, circulation, the skin and
bathing, how to prevent consumption, clothing
and temperature, food and cookery, exercise, rest
and Sleep etc. The doctor is the man to be relied
on in his conclusions and advice, that he has ex-
emplifed the Injunction, Physician heal thyself"
Some twenty or thirty years ago he considered
himself to be dying of consumption.
By systematic adherence to the plans herein
laid down, he has improved so much in vigor as to
be able to lecture eight hours in one day, and as
never to catch cold, though originally OF the most
extreme susceptibility to that disease As we said,
no family should be without this book. There is
no aectation of hard words and learned talk in it,
but an immense amount Of practical information on
every subject bearing upon health, and upon which
we cannot generally consult physicians, that can
not but be of the greatest value to parents masters
and all persons capable Of controlling their own
movements. The work is moreover highly and to
many persons intensely interesting. me PRICE,
we see, is 81 %, which being RENTED to MIR.
Evans, will ensure the reception OF the book by
return mail,

makes some effort at style. The present work j

seARRp.-That antiquated old granny newspa-
per, the Boston Courier, is afraid that the canal
that is to be run into Yesuvius, will be the
means of blowing up the world. 1t reasons
thus:
The object of the Mediterranean canal is said to
be to quench the fire of Vesnvius, and, then, by
removing the accumulated lava, to recover so
much additional territory for cultivation. The ex-
pertinent seems to us doubtful, and we are free to
confess, dangerous. If no other effort should be
produced by the imprisoned steam, which would
be generating by the introduction Of a vast body
Of water into the fiery bowels Of the crater, we
should be 10th to be, at the moment within circuit
of many miles, for the of the violent effects
likely to follow the attempt upon the spot. What
more remote and terrible conseqence might ensue
it is not possible to calculate. The diameter of the
earth is not large that the water might not rush
through all its vast and boiling cayerns. In view
Of the entire subject, conceive that it would he
far wiser to let the crater of Nesuyus alnue Ii is
better in the charge of Almighty Providence, by
which all things exist.
