The Mala Democrat of Friday last
says:
''The frosts since the 18th inst. has
pretty well killed vegetation in the
plantations. Cotton has been decidedly
benefited by the frosts and fine wea-
ther of late the growth has been kill
ed, and the dry weather has caused it
to open out beautifully.
MIR. a. G. jackson was tried in Car
rollton few days ago on charge of
murder, having about year ago shot a
man named Childers. 1t was clearly
a case of self-defence, and Jackson
was acquitted.
From the Port Gibson Reveille of
Thursday we extract the following:
The effects of the great storm which
visited the State, and the recent frosfs
ON the cotton crops, is being discussed
by the New York papers. The Nor
thern metropolis deeply interested in
the great Southern staple. SO are the
Northern rural districts, if thew onIv
knew it. The Northern metronoIiton
people know all about the cotton cron
and the people of the Northern rurai
districts only care to know of the CON
dltlon OF the negro. Hence the Nor
thern mind is always attentive to MAJ
tiers in the South.
We therefore desire to give q LITTLE
statement of the effects of the frost on
the second growth of cotton. mo

Next wenk most of the mills, furnaces
and kettles will be in full blast.
The weather during the past week
has been dry and pleasant, most OF .tne
time cool. The nights have been very
cool. Fires, evenings and mornings
have been indispensable to comfort.
The weather has been fine for sugar
making.
Point Coupee Parish.-Of the wea-
Their and crops, the Democrat Gals
river) of Saturday says:
Since the storm we have had most
delicious weather. Many sugar plant
ers have begun to roll their canes. The
effect of the storm on the cotton crop
in this parish was to injure somewhat
the quality of the cotton, but very lit
tie the quantity. isparish will make
the Largest cotton crop it has ever pro-
duced. On new land more cotton has
opened than can be picked.

The Alleged Cancellation Case-Tho'
Pensacola Observer, speaking of tho
charge that Lieut.. Stark, of the marines
who were stationed at the Warrington
Navy Yard last spring, had punished
with crueifixion, says:
Having no acquaintance with Lieut..
S., and believing, from the enormity of
the accusations recited against him.
and of which we have heard nothing,
though living so near, he had been
slandered, we instituted inquiry imme-
diately to ascertain the truth or falsity
of the extraordinary charges; and it
affords us much qualification to assure
the public, as the result of that inquiry,
that each and every charge specified in
said communication against Lieut.. Stark
is without the slightest foundation; that
they are false, yea, UNANIMOUSLY false,
in every particular, as we know from
the very best authority.
We make this statement in Justice to-
gentleman, whose moral character is
without blemish, and who, in the dis
charge of his official duties, so far from
exhibiting the traits of monster, has
ever been remarkable for goodness of
heart and kind treatment towards those
subject to his command.

Iensas Parish-Ihe Cotton Crop
1t is estimated that the recent storm has
injured the cotton crop in our parish to
the extent of about eight thousand
bales.
Cotton Cans Burmt-The gin on the
estate of McPheeters, on Tensas river,
Concordia parish, was burned last week,
together with fifty bales or more of
cotton. 1t was supposed to be acct
dental, as it occurred whilst ginning
during the day. Mr.. Joseph Sessions,
not far distant, was also destroyed,
with a loss of cotton variously estimated
from fifty to one hundred bales.
From the Tensas (St- Joseph) Gazette
of Saturday, we extract the following:
We regret TO learn that the Clubhouse
of Phil. Dougherty, Esq, with large
quantity of cotton, was burned on Fri
day, the 10Th, and that a negro man lost
his life in the attempt of saving cotton.
We are called upon to record the
burning of the gin of Mrs. Elliott, on
Lah st. Joseph, which occurred last
week, and whereby about fifty bales of
cotton were destroyed.

mer, is short. The second growth was
nipped before it had added one-fourth
of the crop to that made this year.
The cotton crop is short. We live
right in the very heart of the cotton
growing region, and speak from the
opinion of experienced and reliable
planters, as well as from personal OBJ
servation. The ungathered portion of
the cotton crop must yet encounter
storms and waste.
The prices are up now to good fig
ure. Planters will realize as much from
the short crop of this year as they did
from the large one of last year. Now
is good time to sell, and cotton should
be sent to market.

We heard gentleman from the Cane

and better man then Price is, tell
crowd of Breckenridge disunionists
yesterday that if South Carolina at:
tempted to dissolve the Union, he
would give a thousand dollars to fire

The Montgomery (Ala.) Confederation,
of the 25th, says:
The travel through this city to;
Mobile, New Orleans, ETC., has been
very small this year. Last year about
this time our hotels were flooded with
persons going South; now the travel
amounts to very little.
Since the opening of the Jackson

Business quite active. There were

: Considerable cotton has been brought
: to the city within the last week.
We learn thgt the steamers are
charging two dollars bale on cotton

Promiscuous Political News-Items'

EVIn concluding a brief letter de-
clining an urgent invitation to go TO
Richmond, Va, and there to address q
political meeting, Charles O'Conor,
ESQ, Chairman Of the Union Commit
tee of New York, makes the following
remark: We can promise nothing to
anv particular candidate, but we shall
defeat Lincoln, as | verify believe.
g1 The World, of New York, in
speaking of the late Union demonstra-
ton in that city, says:
The Union demonstration last night
was very imposing and successful
affair. Not less than twenty thousand
men marched in the procession, and
the enthusiasm in its ranks and among
the crowds which poured out Of every
side street into Broadway and the
Bowery, and flooded those avenues,
was something worth beholding. Less
orderly than the display of the wide
awakes, few days ago, it was never
theless magnificent spectacle, which
must give increased life, II not maJo-
rites, to dull canvass.
vThe Journal of Commerce has
long account of the procession, from
which the following extracts are taken:
In addition to the tens of thousands
of torches, innumerable rockets and
Roman candles and calcium lights lent
their illuminating powers to the splen;-
did scene. The glare of these count
less fires almost turned the night to
day.
The cheering of the half million or
more of people who lined Broadway and
the entire route ofthe procession was
most enthusiastic. Lady spectators,
especially those in the hotels, waved
there handkerchiefs continually. AT
the New York hotel there was a hand
kerchief at nearly every window.
The PROCESSION was very orderly and
peaceable. The banner of the republi-
can head-quarters, opposite the New
York hotel, had been folded up dur
ing the early part of the evening, like
all the other banners on Broadway. A
shot from Roman candle CHANGED to
lodge In one of its folds and ignited it,
The fire, however, went out speedy
of itself. Some of the republicans in
charge of the premises imIne diately un-
furled the banner. Althoug h this could
not be interpreted otherwise than as an
insult to the procession, it was not met
by any hostile action on tha part of
those who were affronted by It. They
only laughed and groaned as they pass
ed under the banner.
Imposing the Washington statute in
Union square, the men uncovered and
the bands played national air.
The procession numbered between 3d.
600 and $4,000 men. 1t was over three
hours in passing any given point, and
its whole route was not concluded till
an hour after midnight. Over two
hundred and ninety clubs participated.
Thus ended the grandest torch-light
display that has even been seen in any
age or any country.

Adroit Robhery.-A Spanish journal
relates the following, as having occurrr-
ed in church at Seville
A lady went to the altar in order to
receive the sacrament, and knelt down
beside woman, who was there appa-
rently for the same purpose. While
waiting her turn, the lady fancied she
felt hand in her pocket, and ac-
cordingly looked at her neighbor, but
perceiving that this latter was, to all
appearance, praying most fervently,
with her hands crossed on her breast she
reproached herself for her suspicion.
But when, on leaving the altar, she put
her hand into her pocket, she found
that her purse, containing twenty-five
douros Zone hundred and twenty-five
trancs), was gone. She, in consequence
pointed out the suspected person
to police officer, who at once arrested
her. and found the stolen purse inAzess

out inquiry being made from some

tits an undeniable fact that improved

greater per scentage upon tho original
