of cOtton pucked on the llth st. Although this
is very early for cotton to omen, yet we were
shown some raised in this neighhnrhood at the be-
ginning of the month. We take this opportunity
to state that the crops of cotton, and corn in
| this parish never were finer. s1>

er of the 10th the organization of a Confederate
League. We hope this example will be followed

| We are assured by the delighted planters that
there will be enough made in this parish to
supply the demand two years. The cotton plant
is growing finely, and is loaded with hoils and
squares. Let devout prayers OF thanktulness go
up from the hearts of all 10 the Gver of all Good
for opening his hand SO abundanty to supply our
wants.
The Opelousas Patriot of the Goth notices having
seen open balls of cotton in the fields in that neigh
borhood, and says that large crops Of that staple
will be made in the parish.
WEATHER AND CRoPs IN ST.. MARY's PARISH
The Franklin Banner, of the 2vth inst, has the fol-
lowing in this connection:
1t still continues to rain every day or two, and
the cross are thoroughly watered. The cane is
| now growing rap dly, and the nidest corn is made.
| Some of the youngest corn suffers from the hot
sun that follows dashing showers but these OBJ
staces will hardly prevent the late paintings from
giving fair yield in the tall. Upon the whole, our
parish will, from present appearances, IN due Time
| be blessed with bountifu harvest. Many orange
| trees in this parish are loaded with fine fruit,
| which, in October, will be large, yellow juicy and
delicious. Some of the trees in certain localities
| are entirely destitute OF fruit.
