The Sugar Crop and Sugar Making.
1t now appears that the yield of sugar
in the parish of Iberville will fall some
what short of the estimate made some
weeks since. The Plaquemine Mag
nolia of the Oath says:
Several of our planters have finished
grinding their canes. They have not
made as much sugar as at first antici-
pated. We met planter from Crosse
Tete several days since who informed
us that the crops were short in that sec
ton. They are also generally short
along the coast in our parish. There
are some exceptions, however; on some
plantations, the cane has yielded as
much as three hogsheads to the acre.
OF the prospects of the cane, etc,
in st. Mary's parish, the Planters
Banner says:
The cane, we are reioiced to learn,
is doing much better than at the COM
mencoment of the rolling season, yield
ING in some instances between two
and three hogsheads to the acre, while
the equality of the sugar is infinitely
surorior to that made at the start, or
even two weeks ago. The season SO far
has been the mildcst experienced for Il
number of years, the cano-telds still
retaining their beautiful green appear
.anco throughout the entire parish.
In the parish of st. Martin the cane
is yielding very poorly. The New

that mistakes may have occurred. Dou-

the result.
It's generally thought that Lincolns
chances are the more favorable.

The Kansas Raid.-By the western
papers of Saturday last, we are in
possession Of further particulars of
the Montgomery Raid:
VarSa1c, No., Nor. 22-Judge Will
iams, U. S. District Judge of Kansas,
arrived tonight. A meeting of citizens
was called, and Judge Williams deliv-
cred a statement of affairs in the
Territory.
Mr.. Williams is an old man, with
snow-white hair and fine appearance.
He was formerly of Pennsylvania, and
attorney-general Black was his law
student. He said the marauders are
sustained by men who procure means
from the States, under the pretext of
aiding the sufferers of Kansas. He
urged the people not to go into
Kansas, but to protect themselves
within their own limits.
st. Iouis, NoU. 23-Gov. Stewart has
ordered Brigadicr-G encral Frostto hold
his brigade, consisting of the first regi-
mcnt of Missouri Militia, an engineer
corps, and Il company Of artillery, in
readiness to repair to the southwestern
border of the State, to rcpel an invasion
by Montgomery and his band of out
laws. Gen. Harvey will start for Fort
Leavenworth this afternoon.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times says: General
Harncy's orders are to exterminate
Montgomery and his marauders in the
most expeditions manner.

Illinois BdaskS-Important Decision;
The Supreme court of Illinois has de-
cided that banks are required to redeem,
their notes, in whole packages, as pre-
scented and that redeeming one note
at time is equivalent to refusal; and
that on the failure to redeem pack
age and protest, it is the duty of the
auditor of state to wind up the bank
and sell the securities. This decision;
it will be perceived, makes it easier
than heretofore to deal with the Illinois
banks. The wildcats among them will
feel its effects, while those managed OH
correct principles, and located where
the business wants of the community
demand them, will not be affected.

An Oyerseer KilIed.--We learn from
the Brandon Republican that a Mr..
Barnes, overseer on 0. P.NAVright's
plantation, two miles west of jackson,
was stabbed and almost instant1y
killed by negro on the 10th. He was
correcting the negro at the time the
fatal lick was struck. The negro was
arrested and confined in the penitenti-
arv at jackson to await his trial.
Gin House Barned.-The Pamela
Star of Thursday last says:
On last Thursday night, about one
O'Clock, the gin house of Mr.. j. Gillion,
of our county, was discovered to be on
fire. When first seen the house was
completely enyeloped in flames, rem
dering efforts to save anything per-
fectly futile. There were about fifteen
bales of cotton, two wagons and all
the farming implements on the place,
destroyed with the gin house. Mr..
Gillion is satisfied that it was the work
of vile incendiaries, as there had been
no fire about the gin for two weeks.
A F5endish Act.--From the Lexing-
ton Advertiser of the Odd we take the
annexed account Of Almost cowardly and
assassin-like act:
We learn that Mr.. Lemuel A. West
was thrown few days since from the
cars on the Mississippi Central railroad
while at full speed, crossing over cuI-
vert 20 or 30 feet high, by one of the
engineers on the locomotive, and was
seriously injured. Mr. West, an EN-
ployG on the road, it seems, attempted
to chastise q negro for some misdc-
meanor, when the engineer, whose
name we have not learnt, urged the
negro to resist-and while the negro
and Mr.. West were clenched, he seizeC
the latter from behind and threw hin
overheard. The engineer has since
absconded. 1t is said it was miracle
that Mr.. West escaped with his life
under the circumstances.
