FROM AvoYELLEs PARTsH.-From the Marks
vile Central Organ Saturday last we extract the
following:
= Many of the planters have commenced picking
cotton. Some of the Red river planters are gath
ering as high as 225 pounds day per hand, &
During the last ten days partial rains have fallen
In some sections the planters have suffered from
superabundanoe of water whilst in others they are
suffering from want OF it. For several consecutive
days we have seen heavy and even drenching rains
falling at distance around u.s. whilst we have been
favored with scarcely drop. On the North Of this
place rain is very much needed.
In some parts Of the parish there is considerable
sickness. which we understand is confined pretty
much to the blacks. Some deaths have occurred
among the white population.
The crops are very fine generally. The corn
crop is unusually so. On an average, we think,
from all the information we have been able to
gather, that there is at least one third more corn
made this year in the parish than was ever before
raised in one year.
