Letter from Natchitoches Parish.

GRAED ECoRR, Msy q, 1861.
Ed. CreScent-Of all the dull places you ever saw
in your life, these country towns are the du3Iast
The young and middle-aged men are nearly all gone
to the wars, and are left but the old, the

that is waited.

farmer who has heretofore devoted his entire labor
to the raising Of few bales of cotton, and proba
bly, long before he received the proceeds had sub
mltted to q rGinOGs shave to procure the neeessa-
ries Of life, always in debt and always expecting to
| pay with something (cotton) then growing, this
year finds that he sit quietly at home amidst
plenty of the aecessa!es of life, and patiently wait
Tor the returns of what cotton he did make. The
large planters have planted about the usual amount
of cotton Notwithstanding the large amount of corn
