working on the timhers for a new sugar house,

OTHER CROPS
There are crops growing on all the places be.
tween Bethefs and Pattersonville. Some Of The
cotton is small and grassy but by proper iaiustEv
they may all be worked out in a week or ten days.
Above Bethelis there fs some good com on
Judge Bakers plantation, and the place is Gener-
ally well managed, the crops clean and veil
muIheu. On MG5LO OF bne OtleF places DQb HEdH
signs Of cultivation can be seen from the road.
Pattersonyille looks very dull-nothing doing then
| Of any consequence.
| On Friday evening there was very heavy
shower on the Teche and on Bayou Sale. Water
stood in the bitches and between the ridges, and
the crops were thoroughly drenched. This put
the hands back in working the CROPS but the
ground was in working order again on Monday.
BAYOU SALE.
On Saturday smorning the 18th inst We went
nm p1Fou LgIa 90. for dnrgd NJ w n
retts plantation. Here the crop is generally good
and 10 prosperous condition. Corn, cotton and
cane look we'll.
Until lately Mr.. Garrett has not been able to
employ hands on his place only occasionally. To
save his crop ne, his sons and his son-in-law, Mir.
Jessie BalWn stripped off their coats and resolved
that the crops should be saved. They and a Mr.
Busby, worked with plow and hoe week after
week, and their labors saved their crops from a
grassy grave. They have shown what white men
can do in this climate when they have resolution
to back them. And they are ali in good health.
and look as though they have plenty Of flesh and
resolution left to another crop this year, and
to harvest the one they have cultivated.
D. BERwIcK's PLANTATION.
We rode through Mr.. Berwickis fields week
| ago, and we are compelled to say he has the best
and eleanest crop we have seen this season. hF.
| Geo. Thomas is his manager. His cotton il much
of it waist high and putting forth numerous forms,
The plant is full of health and vigoF, and if the
| worm will let it alone, he will certainly have a
good yield of cotton. In his field of nearly !
hundred acres of cotton be has corn planted, onG
or two stalks every ten feet. These look better
| than the corn planted by itself. Mr.. Berwick
thinks he can raise a full crop of cotton in this
way, and pretty good supply Of corn on the samS
ground We do not recollect the amount Of cans
on this place. but we believe there are thirty ol
forty acres. There is also large surface Of corn
Mr. A. Carlin is culttvating corn, cotton ani
cane, and has clean and good crop; but as VIZ
did not 30 over his field we cannot partieuarize
Mr. Senette, Mr.. Hays, Mr.. Darnel, Col. CFaw
ford, Julius Johnson Mrs. Bedell, E. Carlin and 7
j. Foster, are all cultiyatng crops, and we be
lieve, none Of them ere badly in the grass. They
are generally doing as we'll as could possibly bt
expected under the circumstances. The crop
around Franklin we believe are tolerably vel
worked, and if the dry weather continues another
week, they will have the weeds and grass vel
CONQUERED.
