They will occupy middle ground between the bastily written news-items. crude speculaticns, and fly ing rumors Of the daily Journal, and the pom derous Tome of the future historian, written af- ter the living interest and excitement of the great political events of the time shall have passed away. 1t is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such, in addition to their wcll-estadlished literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading pub lie.

the following: 80 D.. J. Z. - ..s..
After several weeks Of dry weather we'll suited
to picking cotton, we had a heavy shower on Fri
day last, coming in good time for peas, potatoes
and turnips. What with the short drought in july,
a long wet spell in August, and the army worm,
which is now laying waste the cotton fields, the
crop of cotton in this section must be very, very
short. 3 nj NJ. e ".-S S,'gr
The health of the community, with the exception
OF come remittent and chill and fever in a mild
form, is good 7s .H
The Caddo Gazette Of Saturday says:
During the past week the weather has been clear
and cold, thus enabling the planters to gather cot
ton rapidly. If we have dry season and a late
fall, the cotton crop may be large as that of last
season. On the contrary, heavy rains and an early
frost Will reduce the crop fully one-fourth. . :
The Thibodeaux Sentinel, of Saturday has the
following: s' '-5 - 0'
Several planters have commenced cutting cane
aud will begin grinding during next week. We
have not heard what the yield of the cane was
where rolling has commenced, but we should
Judge it to be poor, from the recent heavy and
prolonged rains which we have had. We learn,
however, that on Mr.. Earang's place, very su-
perior article of sugar and moasses was made
though the cane yielded but little saooharne mat.

Missouri: go 4 r 20. ...
We publish, in another column, this morning, an
account OF this BATTLE taken from the Chicago Tri-
bune of the 18th inst, furnished US by a friend,
which, Of course, must be accepted with many
grains of allowance. We have received some
facts more reliable in regard to it from resident
of Hannibal, Mo-, who reached Memphis on yes
terday morning. 1t is stated that the value of the
property captured by Gen. Price is estimated at
fully 100000. Between two and three thousand
horses and mules are alleged to have been taken
including thirty pieces of artillery, $500 prisoners
between six and seven Thousand stand of small
arms, two steamboats, loaded with stores of all
kinds, clothing, provisions and ammunition and
500, 000in specie. t.-s slgfz @ la
+ We further learn that The whole of Northern
Missouri is aroused; that men are hocking in thou
sands to- the standard of Gen. Price and that there
is a .eomn1and of six hundred Iowans, who march
ed into Missouri, bearing standard inscribed
with the words, ssWe come to the relief of the OPP
pressed" rl-f~g 81 b. y naEa - 4
We congratulate Gen. Price and his gallant army
Of Misseurians upon the glorious results of this
victory, achieved, as it was, by their unaided
efforts. l-sE -ln-r- r.s..aHN +
We have a letter from Columbus, under date of
the 10Th, which says that information had been re-
ceived from Cairo, which was deemed reliable
giving further particulars of affairs in Missouri. It
was to the effect that the Federal loss in killed and
wounded was 1900, prisoners 24OO, and four steam.
boats freighted with supplies and ammunition.
From the same source, intelligence was also re-
ceived that Gen. Prentss, while on his way with
reinforcement of 1900 strong was captured, to-
gether with his entire command, by force of 5000
thrown out by Gen. Price to intercept them.
Everything that reaches us confirms our first
glorious intelligence and gives to the Lexington
of our revolution a position in history as prominent
as that occupied by the Lexington OF '76. y 9itt
