Tight Ilnoes.-W We hear of no les,
of any consequences, of real estate or
negroes. There is but little money
in the parish, and nearly everybody is
.shard up The numerous failures In
New Orleans have had tiicir. Ie gitimate'
effect upon the country. Probably
failures in. the country parishes viii
follow after awhile. Look we'll to your
finances, and ''stand from under.
Busiaess.-Trade is dull-our mer-
chants look gloomy-none look hope
full. Intrade, agriculture and politics,
our citizens act as though they have
passed the season for humbuggery,
and are now compelled to meet solemn,
stubborn, unmistakable realities at last.
Provisions, etc.--Flatboats are on
our waters with provisions from the
Ohio river. Fine apples, So barrel
Irish potatoes, $23, and flour So.
Helah.-The health of our parish,
we believe, is excellent; it never was
better.

bayou has been taken by Messrs. Bro

went out one day last week on bayou
Cocodra, and killed twenty deer, and
turkeys without count beside & sprink-
ling of wild cats. The destruction was

three days the weather, this season,
has had, thus far, all the feeling and
appearance offspring. Yesterday morn

The Union also says Our stream
continues on the swell, and will, no
doubt, soon be in excellent boating
order for the larger class of packets
that ply during high water between
New Orleans and our port.

following from the Harrisonburg,
(Catahoula parish} Independent of the
18th:
"WoodIavn'' Sold Our friend and
former fellow-citizen, A. ID. Ratcliff,
ESD, writes us that he has sold his
possessions on the Tensas. His lands
went fifty dollars per acre round.
Bearing in mind, the fact that the body
is large and the majority thereof in the
woods, it would seem that these most
productive and valuable lands are not
deprcciating a whit, Lincoln or no

Northern Manufacturers Coming
!South.-The New York Herald says ::

.SouM.-The New York Herald says {:
Many of our northern manufacturers,
desparing of seeing trade restored to
its accustomed channels, are preporing
to transport their establi shments down
south. There is one firm which, to
our knowledge, has actually completed
its arrangements, and will effect the
transfer of its business in tho course of
the present month. 1t is better for
them to do this than lose the capital
they have acquired in the hopeless
struggle against an adverse condition
of things.
