MORE ExCITEAENT.-Yesterd morning, the en-
tire city was in commotion, caused by dispatch
received from New Orleans, to the effect, that the
Third Regmentsof Louisiana volunteers would be
up and touch at our landing on their way to their
place of destination in the West. The fact that the
Pelican Rifles from this place, the Hunter Rifles
from Clinton, and other companies from this see
ton compose the regiment, drew together large
crowd of our citizens at the landing to welcome
them again on their way up. Four steamers we're
necessary to convey them. The graduation of
friends and relatives, music, firing of guns and
other demonstrations Of joy greeted them, as they
came and went on their way rejoicing.

says:
From all sections of North Louisiana, we have
never during our residence in the State, which has
been twelve years, heard such favorable accounts
OF the crops Of every kind. Wheat is almost ready
for the sickle, whick makes plentiful harvest of
that important grain almost beyond a doubt.
Oats, corn and cotton are all doing remarkably
well if the season should continue favorable for
six weeks, Old Abe y may blockade as much as
he plcases and it will not affect US.

THE BLOCKADE TO Be DIsREG ARDED.-We have
seen gentleman, in every way reliable, just from
Washington, who states it as a common rumor
that Lord Lyons called on Secretary Seward to-
day. and announced to him that England would
not recognize the present blockade. Certain it is
that Lord Lyons called on Mr.. Seward upon Off
cial business and impaired something not alto
gether pleasant.
This rumor gathers further Importance from the
fact that two English vessels were brought to at
Fortress Monroe, on Tuesday last, not being al
lowed to enter Norfolk, and full time has trans
pired to communicate that fact to the British Min
lister. I Alexandria Sentinel, l7th.

GUNPOWDER FOR TIE SOUTlI-ApprehensOn has
been frequently expressed, lest the supply of pow
der at the South might prove inadequate to the de-
mands of protracted war. The apprehension,
we think, is sroundless for, Independent of what
ever supply of the manufactured article, Of the
raw article material, may now be on hand, the
elementary substances of which gunpowder is
made can be extracted in exhaustless amounts
from soil and forests. 1t is we'll known by
our older citizens that in early times the settlers
made their own powder from materials easily OBJ
tanned. The numerous caves in this region abound
in;nitrous earth, and in many of them nre has
been made in large quantities. If crude sulphate
cannot be obtained in sufficient quantity in our
cities, the sWphurets of copper and iron in East
Tennessee can furnish an unlimited supply. Our
willow, linWood and other trees can furnish the
best charcoal
In this connection, we will state that an enter
prise has already been set on foot, having in view
the production of gunpowder material. Messrs.
G. w. Rice, John +. Anderson and John D. Borin
have leased the celebrated Sauta Cave, in Jackson
county, Ala, and are making extensive prepara-
tiOns for the production of nre on large scale.
1t is also the intention of these gentlemen to ex-
tend their operations to include the manufacture
of powder. This enterprise we regard as udlclous
patriotic, and, we doubt not, will prove highly re-
munerative.
The powder mill Nashville is in vigorous
operation, and we expect to hear of many similar
establishments springing up magically throughout
the South; so that, instead of experiencing want
of this necessary element of warfare, we will, in
| fact, have enough, and to spare.
