Of the hero Jackson.

Coupte parish have raised a military company. On
men strong.

again falling at this point-now, undonbtedIy. to-
rise no more this season. [Iberville Gazette.
Another delightful rain Yesterday made M al,,us
the quota required by the crops at the preseHe
time. Never was an agricultural people more
blessed than ours have been this season. [Ib
CREvAssEs.-On Thursday the Marengo leyeg
gave way, letting in the water Of the MississippH
and overttowing several plantations in the "O..''
Friday night the leVee around the OF also gave
way, letting the whole bogs of water into Lake
Conc0rdia, filling it up and causing some damage
to several plantations upon the borders of it, The
Lake stopped rising on Tuesday, the outlets now
conducting off the water as fast it flows in. The
damage done is not so great as anticipated at first,
and as the Mississippi is falling no further oyey-
flow is apprehended. The Communication With
not run since Friday.
The lake had fallen two inches Wednesday,
evening.
From what we can learn we apprehend thattha
devastation from the crevasse is not to the extent
imagined by our contemporaries. Itia certain that
the damage cannot extend beyond the present
area OF the food while the damage to certain 10
calites is not so great supposed and representea
while the booming waters were at their height.

MARROW EscApE-Mr. L. P. Conner, Leyee COM
missioner, was busily at work upon the threatened
portion of the Lake levee, when it suddenly gave
way, letting him down and submerging him be-
meath the caving mass. The current was strong
as to relieve him from the earth, and he came %
the surface OF the water, and was b0rne preepF-
lately through breach in another contiguous
leVee, disappearing a second time and again CONF
ing to the surface, when he rescued. His ea-
cape was most miraculous. f1b
OFF FOR THE WARs.-bIr. Charles L. NIinou, edf-
tor of the Thibodaux Sentinel, has dropped his pen
and started on the war-path
! LIKE ANDERsoNs BoTTLE.-The Thibodaux Seq
| tinel says
We scarcely take up an exchange of this STATE
but the first item that meets our gaze is The forus-
| ton of another military company. Louisiana, in
regard to furnishing volunteers, is like Professor
Andersons bottle: 1t is inexhaustble.
COTTON BLossoMs.-We omitted to notice lass
week, that on the Wednesday thereof, the 10Th
utimo, we received from the plantation of Mr.
James II. Houston, on Bayou TGche, several
branches OF cotton stalks, on which were full
blown blossoms, and on one branch several blOg-
SONS; on the Thursday succeeding we received n
like favor from from Mr.. Elisha AnCrns place and
on Friday still another from the plantation of Dr.
John a. Taylor, on the Waxa. These eampIea
were all alike fine, healthy and forward; and js
was almost impossible to tell which was the bests
This is doing pretty well for the month Of Nav.
From the delightful season, the genial rains the
certainty of heavy yield of cereals and the bright
prospects for all other agricultural products, we
infer that God himself smiles on nation contend
ing for her liberties.
EARLY COTToN BLOoMs.-G. S. Woodward Esq,,
has sent to the Gazette office the first cotton
blooms of the season. They grew on his pIauta-
ton in this parish, and opened on the z9th ult.
The crops throughout the entire district are very
fine, and, strange to say, though we have coR-
versed with large number OF planters, we have
not heard of single exception. The corn crous
have never been known to be better than they ara
the present year. [rensas Gazette, It'll
We informed that there is uue a large
number of runaway negroes in the woods back Of
Iesuits Bend and vicinity. [Rice Plauter.
BEWARE OF TRAIToRs.-We call the It cntiou OF
the proper authorities that, in the bays, bayoua
and even on the river, in the lower part of this
parish are to be found hundreds of vagah ia and
other rascals, ready, at any time, to Communicate
with the biockadlng squadron at the mouth of the
river. [Rce Planter.
IN BAD WAY.-The editor of the Baton Rouga
Sugar Planter is in a bad way. He says he is pay
ticularly thirsty and nary juep to be had withfm
two miles-no way of travelling two miles without
walking, and no money to pay for the julep after
