The St. Helena Imperial Of Saturday last says
The cotton crop throughout the parish is, this
season, most promising and the farmers say they
have never seen a better prospect for heavy
yield is still liable to disasters The corn crops
are heavier than have ever been known to the
Oldest inhabitant Some farmers say they will
make corn enough to do them two years Add to
this the mast trees are breaking down with acorns,
which will fatten the porkers running at large in
the forests.
The Shreveport Southwestern has the following:
| Our town, parish and surrounding country, con-
| tinue perfectly healthy. The corn is made, the
cotton growing finely. Amidst all the horrors of
| domestic strife we have been truly blessed by
kind Providence. little rain would purify the
air.
| Texas -four continues to arrive freely; but we
| think it is held too hgh-pnt it ut q reasonable
price and twice the quantity will be consumed
a sure market established for all the tionr manu-
| factured in eastern Texas. What we do not con.
sune we can ship to points below.
CoRN AND CoTToN IN MISsIssIPPI-The Vieks-
burg Wing of Tuesday says:
John Henderson, ESQ., of this county, sent us on
Saturday last, 9th inst, several cotton bos fully
open. This shows that cotton is early enough to
make first rate crop,
| The same gentleman brought us specimens Of his
| fine corn crop. We have stalks withSshree and
| four ears on Them He also brought us suckers
with fine ears measuring ten inches in length, grow
ing on the top of the stalk. No danger OF starving
| where corn grows at the rate OF one hundred
! bushels to the acre. .

Under date of the 2Sth, the Pensacola CORE
spondent of the Mobile Evening News writes:
For several days past there has been great re-
iocing over the recent triumph Of our arms in Fr
gnia. A general order granted one entire day of
holiday to the army besides wipng out j" all
charges against deuquents of military dutfes.!<
By permission, many efforts have been made
and in some instances il il Thought, successfully
to convey the late Federal disc0mforts in Virginia

Mobile Advertiser, Columbus Sun and Montgomery
Mail, giving full accounts of the battle OF Manassas,
was taken on a small boat near the Island, this
morning, and dispatched an unwilling messenger
to the Abolitionists drilling Santa Rosa Of the
success of the enterprise we shall hear something
this evening. s,.
Another deserter from Fort Pickens was picked
up last night in the Sound by one of the boats Of
Capt. Lovell's harbor police fleet. He had at
tempted the passage to our side on a log, and was
in an almost exhausted condition when discovered.
He was taken aboard, kindly treated and conveyed
to the navy yard He tells about the same tale as
Boothby, who came week ago, aud says
that Roothby's desertion was discovered about
twenty-four hours after he left. He says there is
much dissatisfaction among some of the regulars
their flag against foreign foes and not for the pur
pose of cutting the throats of their brothers--and
that many of them would act as he has, if they had
half chance. Billy Wilson's men complain OF the
| manner of their treatment by their Government
that they went aboard the Vanderbilt, as they un
| derstood for Washington, but she sailed under
sealed orders for Fort Pickens He represents
them as a very turbulent set, fighting, growing
and stealing everything within their reach. "

A letter from Richmond. Virginia, to a

letter from Richmond, Virginia, to gentle
man of this office, says:
The Washington Artillery, under Major Wal

seen who was on the battlefield After the vic
tory was won, Beauregard called on the Artillery
and passed from man TO man through the RANKS,
shaking hands with them and thanking them Tor
their services. That little incident speaks louder
for them than thousand newspaper letters.
We have also been shown a letter, from MEM
Der of one of our Louisiana companies in Virginia,
in which he says:
AT the battle of Stone Bridge, Major J. B. Wal
ton, of the Washington Artillery, dismounted from
his horse and walked up and down the lines, to
the several batteries under his command speaking
words of praise and encouragement to his men
often times halting to sight, and several times
even firing the guns himself. He had the imme.

At one time the battalion were surrounded on
three sides by the Federal troops. but none of the
w. a. boys or officers seemed to care for it; they
continued to pour their riaed shot and cannistel
into the enemy, regardless of consequences, al
being as cool and calm as though firing salute
on Lafayette Square.
After the battle, President Davis and Gen. Bean

to form his company into line. Gen Davis made

In the evening, Major Walton visited head

known.
. The commander of shernan's battery said the
day before the battle that he would silence the

but the boys turned the tables on the Yankees and
silenced their famous Sherman's battery in forty
minutes, capturing eight pieces themselves. .s

The Tiger RifHes at Manassas.

We have before us private letter from a men,
ber of the Tiger Rifles, who were in the thickest
of the fight at Stone Bridge, and rendered efficient
service as one of the companies of Wheat's Bat
talon:
On Sunday, 2lst, at sunrise, the enemy COM
menced throwing shot and shell among us. Our
second platoon, under command of Lieutenant Ad-
rian, ran party of cavalry some distance towards
their lines. We were then ordered to deploy to-
wards the left, and hold them in check for rein
forcements to prevent being outhanked on our left,
and here we had the honor to open the bail and
receive the first fire.
As we were crossing field in an exposed situa-
ton, we were fired upon (through mistake) by II
body of South Carolinlans, and at once the enemy
let loose as if all hell had been let loose. Flat
upon our faces received their showers of balls
moments pause, and we rose, closed in upon
them with fierce YELL clubbing rifles and
using our long knives. This hand to hand fight
lasted until fresh reinforcemens drove back
beyond original position, we carrying our
wounded with us. Major Wheat was here shot
from his horse Capt. Whites horse was shot
| under him, our First Lieutenant was wounded in
the thi gh, Dick Hawkins shot through the breast
and wrist, and any number of killed and wounded
| were strewn all about. The New York Fire
Zouaves, seeing momentary confusion, gave
three cheers and started for u.s. but it was the last
| shout that most of them ever gave. We covered
| the ground with their dead and dying, and had
| driven them beyond their first position when just
then we heard three cheers for the Tigers and
Louisiana. The struggle was DECIDED The gal
lent Seventh had double quieked" it for nine
miles, and came rushing into the fight. They fired
| as they came within point blank range, and
! charged with fixed bayonets. Thc enemy broke
and fed panic stricken, VIII or men in full pursuit
| When the fight and pursuit were over, we were
| drawn up in line and received the thanks of Gen.
Johnston for what he termed our extraordinary
and desperate stand" Gen. Beauregard sent word
to Major Wheat you, and your battalion, for this
days work, shall never be forgotten, whether you
| live or die"
AT the close of his letter the writer speaks O
! some of the minor casualties in the following hu
morous vein:
