From the Shreveport Southwestern NO extract
the following:
Tt will be reeolleeted, seven years ago we pre-
dicted that the time would come when flour,
meats, ETC.. instead of being brought mp Red river,
! would be exported Down the river. The prediction
is about to be fully verified For the last tWn
three years large quantities of mess beef have
} been sent to New Orleans, and most Of the Hour
! consumed in Shreveport during the past summer
: was brought from Texas, and some of it was far
: superior TO Ohio -four.
j, We should like very much to see some large Hoar
mills erected In the immediate vicinity of Shreve-
port No point III the United States possesses
! | greater advantages steamboats, could bring the
wheat from northern Arkansas the Indian nations,
upper Texas, and the wagons and railroads from
the interior of the latter State. Our flour could
reach New Orleans from the mills before the wheat
sderati0n is, should cotton ever aepreeate In price,
our Red river plantations could easily be converted
. into golden wheat fields
The Lecomte brought to our landing Sunday
night two cames, for Mr.. Y. w. Graves. residing
near Keaehi. The camels embrace male and female
and we understand that MIR. g. intends TO increase
. his stock from them.
The AYoyelles Organ Of Saturday last says:
From intelligent and reliable sugar planter ID
Rapaes, we learn that the sugar crop of that parish
will fall short Of last years crop nearly third
This will be the in Ayoyelles, we would judge,
from the information which we have received from
j, different portions Of the sugar planting country
Cotton has proved to be better than was antiei-
pated at the commencement OF the picking season.
The st. Helena Imperial Of Saturday says:
! Since Monday last the sun has hardly shown his
face the mud is about two feet scant in the streets,
: and the roads in many places almost impossible.
! At this hour, black, murky clouds are hanging
: overhead, threatening every moment to give rs
!, another deluge Of rain. Farmers are just hesin-
: ming to prepare their land for planting, and this
protraeted spell of wet weather has seriously dis,
comlHoded them.
