TIE LOUISIANA SUGAR CRoP.-A correspondent
of the New Orleans Delta, writing from st. James

time we are able to make an estimate of the next
sugar crop. The prospects for a large one are very
fattering, and the Coufedciacv will be able to
export large quantity to the United States. The
seed cane was never better, and many, have more
than they want. The ratoons are all good, even
the second years Vegetation is very forward
and the cane already marks the rows in some lands;

portant question of law as to the right of the lien
under the late decisions of the Supreme Court of

master, consignee agent of the vessel had ample
funds to pay for supplies The case was tried be-
fore Judge Belts in January last. Mr.. Mcmahon,
who appeared for the owners Of the vessel took the
point that, it appearing that the agent of the YES
sci had sufficient funds hand to meet bills, which
the libeiant, by the exercise of sufficient caution
might have found out, consequently no lien existed
against the vessel for the supplies. Mr. Sawyer,
who appeared for the libellant, combatted these
petitions. This morning Judge Belts delivered an
elaborate opinion, dismissng the libel, with COSTS

honor, cannot do better than give you an illus
tration OF 1t, and of his promptitude in dealing
with traitors There is an Irish ruffian who loafs
upon the wharves, who has, as an ironical tribute
to his extreme uglness, been dubbed Handsome

Billy Mullgan was to New York as notorious a
scamp as ever went unhung. The brother-in-la
of Charlie was soldier attached to the garrison
of Fort Sumter, and was often sent by Major An
person, with Others for provisions. These Two viii
lains, brothers in Crime as well as in qaw' had
it seems, been plotting treason in connection with
their betters against the government of the limited
States. One OF their plans was to smupple in files
for the purpose Of spiking the guns on Fort sum
ter. How they expected to accomplish this rascal
ity is another question: but certain it is that files
introduced into the fortress, concealed in
oaves of bread. The files and the traitor were
both discovered. A messenger was despatched to
Charleston for priest. The cause assigned for
requiring his presence was the premature confne-
ment, and consequent danger, of a soldiers wife.
Inc real need for him was to shrive a dastardly
wretch for the next world, who was utterly unfit
to live in this The brother-in-law of Handsome
Charlie was shot; fitting doom for a traitor"

Things at Charleston

A friend at Holly Springs has kindly placed
at our disposal the following extract from pri-
vate letter addressed TO him by a relative, whose
official position in the army of South Carolina
gives authority to his statements. The writer
says:-
"When we received the information that Fort
Sumter was TO lsc evacuated, VIC were not thrown
off our guard Fonr additional batteries were
Immediately erected on Morris Island, Stone In
let, and Long Island IA continuation of Sullivans
Island,) and the number of troops was very
greatly augmented. We shall believe the cur
rent rumor when Sumter shall be actually in
our possession.
"fhe floating battery was completed and test
ed on the 10th, to the entire satisfaction Of our
officers. II is complete success.
"Gen. Dcauregard, unless he is Orerrulcd- will
not permit AndcrsOn's force to retire except as
prisoners of war. No steamer can enter the
harbor without our permission, and Anderson
will probably be sent away by the city, or by

BANNER FERMENTATION

On the night of Friday, the 22d instant, in
the Easement of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, Mr. SMITH, of the Law Department Of
ford, in the presence of a crowded audience
presented rich and tasteful banner to the La.
fayette Guards, commanded by Capt. DELAY.
The Lamar Rifles, Capt GREEN, filled the
Southern aisle, while the other was occupied by
the Lafayette Guards. The address of Mr..
SMITH, our report of which is so long that we re.
gret our inability to find space for it, abounded
with patriotic sentiments, most happily express
ed, and was forcibly and eloquenty pronounced.
lie was frequently and enthusiastically cheered.
In the course of his remarks he produced tat
tered portion of the flag that was borne in the
Mexican war by the company from Lafayette
then commanded by Capt DELAY, and made
some touching illusions to the gallant deeds, now
constituting part Of History, that had been en-
acted under that flag
Capt DELAY, upon receiving the banner, mod
cstly expressed fhe pride and qualification with
which, on behalf of his company, he accepted
that token of the favor and confidence of the
ladies of Oxford, and promised that If war
should come, that banner should be linked with
associations no less creditable to the Lafayette
Guards than WERE to his former company those
which clustered around the sacred relic, then
before him, of the Mexican struggle.
Capt L. w. HARRIS of Holly Springs, being
loudly called for, then arose in his place and made
a few genial remarks which evidently produced
IA strong impression in his favor Capt Lowry,
of the University Grays, was next called out,
andvery gracefully excused himself from speak
ing.
lie was followedby Capt. GREEN, wks respond
cd to the call made upon him bya short and pa
triotic speech, delivered in his usual happy style.
Mr. HousENAN was also called for and delivered
a brief address, which was alike crcditable to
himself and just to the fair ones who were the
subjects of his glowing and poetic eulogy. The
military then marched out, and the audience
followed suit"
