SPLENDID SET or BooEs.-We saw yesterday at
the stationery establishment of Messrs. Corson X
Armsty6pg, No. 50 Camp street, q set of books,
consisting of ledger and Journal which was by
far the most perfect, as to binding, material and
ruling, we have ever seen. They were manufact-
ured for a commission house in this city by Messrs.
c. & A. here in their own workshop. With such
set of books these, it seems to us bookkeeping
would become more of a pleasure than labor,
while the excellence of the material and the strength
Of the binding would make the records they con-
tanned almost as lasting as the brazen tablets OF
the ancients. Connoisseurs would be interested in
examining this set of books, and should they be
seized with desire for duplicate set, Messrs. c.
& A. can, no doubt, crafty them.

The Caddo Gazette Of Saturday last has the fol-
lowing:
After long drouth, which has destroyed the
corn and seriously injured the cotton, We have
been blessed with rain. On Tuesday evening it
commenced, and with few hours uterfnissiol, he
tween showers continued on Wednesday, The hill
cotton will be improved little, and the dropping
potatoes and fall vegetables have revived TnrniD
seed are in demand By all who can appreciate the
substantial comforts involved in dish Of hng.iole
and turnip greens.
From the best information we can obtain. the
cotton crop on the uplands will fall short of the
crop q last year fully one.haf, and in many cases
tnfse-fourths. On many Red river plantations
tne stand 5 bad, and the prospects for an average
yieid are gloomy, There are few planters below
ti.s place who will make full crops. The Red
river county will not ship to New Orleans more
than one-half as much cotton az Il did iasf vear
The North Louisiana Baptist of the sd says:
The drouth, it Is now ascertafned, has extended
about over the cotton growing territory Of our
country.
The health Of the country is generally good. so
far as we have the means Of knowing
Oar Arkansas exchanges give favorable view
Of the crops. Cotton bids fair To regnunerate the
planter. Rains have Of late been frequent ID large
sections of the State.
abundant rains are reported in Georgia, and in
some parts Of Alabama and Mississippi.
The Pointe Coupee Echo Of Saturday says:
The last three months Will be remembered as a
season Of anxiety and dread-of ruined crops and
sc0rched fields and diminished haTgests. Accord
inelE, there were universal and unusual express
ions of Joy and qualification indaged by The plant
ers as the lowering clouds oercasi the sunny sky
yesterday and the day previous, when every mo-
ment the long pent up ood-gates of the skies we're
expected to open and pour in mighty torrents a
suieency Of rain to allay the thirst Of all creation
But to the aggraVation and disappointment Of
every one, the rain did not fall and soon followed
indications of dry weather in derision of all sap
plieations.
The sugar planters have now given up all antici-
| pations of realizing near one-thrd of an average
| crop. Many do not intend grinding and will be
| satisfied to make seed cane.
The. crop Of the parish, from the accounts we
have received from different planters, cannot pos
sibly exceed 5000 hogsheads.
| The cotton planters are making rapid progress
in picking and owing to the short crop Will finish
unusually early.
The Onachita Register says:
| The weather for the past few days has beengery
warm and dry. a good shower Of rain now, to
settle the dust, would be be very acceptable.
Crops in this section a failure We know of
some planters out in the hills who have not made
near enough corn to feed them and their stock.
| Cotton is something better, though we do not
think there will be much more than half crop of
| that.
The river at this point is about as low az the
safety of catfish will allow and is still falling.

be as remarkable as those of the more useful and
indispensable things which are to be found in these
places. They often, too, answer both for ornament
and use, as, for Instance, the porcelain lnkstand,
the bronze pen rack, the mother Of pearl paper

perweights, which are seen onthe desks OF wealthy
merchants and bankers; the ornamental clock,

A STEAM CARRIAGE.-The Earl of Caithness has
built a carriage which is to be propelled by steam
power upon ordinary turnpike roads. On recent
occasion he made trial trip and though, as tie
local paper says,
Tie road was filed with horses and conpeyanees
of all kinds, his lordship passed through them all
without any more Inconvenience to the general
traffic Or alarm to horses than if he had been in his
carriage and -four. So perfectly had he the whole
moving power under his control that he stopped
more quickly than an ordinary carriage and horses
could draw up, and this he did as often as he saw
the least danger of any horse being frightened.
He reached Beanly, distance of fourteen miles.
in an hour and twenty minutes, Notwithstanding
the frequent stoppages, and fifteen minutes lost in
getting water. After leaving Beanly, those
parts of the road where some distance forward can
be seen, he attained the speed of eighteen miles
hour and could have kept this up for any distance
with ease and safety. After reaching ILLNESS his
lordship turned to the left and took the road direct
for Bonar Bridge. Here the carriage had severe
test applied to it, but he drove mp the hills with
out difficulty, and coming down the very steep de-
cvity near where the road joins the road from
Tain the control his lordship had over it was most
satisfactory, and enabled him to descend at any
rate he wished, and with perfect ease and safety.
Leaving the hospitable inu MT Afdgy, Lord Cath
ness crossed Bonar Bridge and drove on to Clash
more, after q successful drive OF nearly seventy
miles. Saturday being very wet he remained there
till the afternoon, and then drove on to Gospe to
remain over Sunday, and having perfect confidence
in his carriage from its working Friday, he ex-
poets to reach Barrog Castle, distance of eighty
miles, and over the steepest roads in Scotland. His
lordship has made this somewhat bold step of ap-
plying steam as propelling power to carriages on
common roads for any long distance, and the re-
suit of the first day has more than answered tl.s,
expectations Of its warmest promoters, and left
doubt to its being not only practicable, but use
| full when 50 applied.

THE MAssAeREs IL syRGA--Letter from tie Pope
The Pope has addressed to the Patriarch OF Anti
och letter in reference to the massacre of the
Christians in Syria. He expresses his deep sorrow
for the unfortunate sufferers. Their calamties,
however are made less prominent than the troubles
of the different Italian Governments. The Pope
complains that in Europe more sympathy is felt
for the seditious disturbers Of peace and order
than for the fate of the Christian populations that
are subjected to the yoke of the Turks. He does
not name Garibald but laments that terms Of
praise should have been formally and publicly be-
slowed on "a man who, in contempt of all right
and justice, is everywhere endeavoring to over
turn public society and destroy religion" But the
Syrian expedition awakened in his heart the hope
that the powerful Princes Of the West will also
unite their forces to check the designs of men who
"confounding every idea of justice and injustice,
turn human society into a gathering of terocious
beasts The Pope, in announcing to the Patri-
| arch of Antioch, and the other preiates of the
East, the transmission of sum of money in aid of
the Christians, laments his town poverty which
precludes him from contributing large amount.
