Private dispatches from New York on yesterday,

The trade in GROCERIES continus brisk in every
department, but without change in prices since

The amount Of Pork killed.this season in Mid

many, to an ordinary demand; but in view of the
changed condition of the country. and the rigid
economy being practised by almost every family,
it may be made to answer for the year. In most
communities that we have heard from the price
rules lower, than it did earlier in the season.

lies in towns are declining to purchase now, ex-

GuerTilEas at Brandcn5urg, Ky.-The Lou
isyille Democrat SAYS We learn from passen-
gers who came up on the Sandy Valley, that
on Tuesday party of three men, two broth
ers named Shacklett and man named Steth,
armed to the teeth, came dashing into the
little town Of Brandenburg, about 40 miles
below here on the Ohio river, and hred sew
eral shots at citizens who were walking
along the street. The citizens rallied, re-
sisted the attack, and the three daring guer-
rillas were soon put to flight, but not until
The two Sbackletts had been wounded, one
of whom was shot three times and the other
once IN the head but they both made their
escape. Steth was very closely followed, and
after short chase, was taken prisoner. Thus
ended this most daring raid Of three guerril-
las in the town of Brandenburg. The evil
dent object Of these daring highwaymen was
murder and robbery.

Railroad Matfcr&-An agent was sent
South, some days since, to ascertain the con-
dition of the roads connecting with the
Nashville & Chattanooga r. r., and TO gain
information relative 20 the time when the
bridges on that road-iniured by the late
high water-.would be repaired, so as to en-
able the company 20 take freight coming
from the North. A report was received
from him yesterday, in which he states that
the Western & Atlantic road will not be in
condition 10 receive through freight before
the end of the month, and perhaps not I'M
Ill after that time.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
has, at present, PA loaded freight cars al
Chattanooga, and il is but justice 10 say, tina
the President Of that road has made every
exertion TO have the blockade removed; bu
the Western and Atlantic road has not seer
fit to adopt his suggestions. President Burn
has therefore been compelled 10 turn thi
freight over to commission merchants, a

a nd Atlantic road will receive il.

TRooPs IN THE cITY.-We mentioned
the fact yesterday, that quite number Of
regiments stationed here, and in various
parts of the State, were to be mustered out
of the service. 1t will, of course, be
some time before these arrangements are
completed, but orders have been issued
for their discharge and the only military
force left in the city, except colored troops,
will be composed Of the 10th regulars, and
a battalion of four companies of the 9Th q.
S. cavalry.
The negro troops remaining in this city,
are the 18th and 18th regiments.
II seems TO be the intention of the War
Department to discharge these regiments as
fast as possible, and we hear it stated that
the Provost Marihal's Office is shortly to be
broken up vet we cannot understand why
this should be DONE at least at present.

z6oooe Of bales from the Southern States is want
ed TO keep up the extended rate Of consumption
in this country, Great Britain and the Continent:
terialy less, another year OF scarcity and severe
fluctuations in price seems to lie before the cotton
consumer.
From the best sources Of information at our
command. we do not believe that the supply of
Cotton from fhe Southern States which can be
made available TO the European Cotton consumers
will notreach 200 900 bales; therefore our Cotton
factors may look for q year OF restless activity,
will be common. ,
From European Cotton circular, which kind
friend has laid upon our table. we learn that the
question having been mooted of late whether the
average weight of American bales was less than in
former years, they have collected returns from
several brokers' Offices and lind the import OF the
last two months to average 4l3 netts against 4oiD
last year and Ash in 1850.

Crops and Crop Prospects i'm the Baton
Rouge Vicinity.


We find the following in the Baton Rouge
Advocate of the 25th ultimo:
THE CRoPs.-We believe that there is but
one planter in East Baton Rouge who is
grinding this season, and he will make less
than one hundred and fifty hogsheads OF
sugar. We can safely place the entire sugar
crop at less than two hundred hogsheads in
the parish. In West Baton Rouge there is
no one, that we have heard of, that has turn
ed wheel. The total crop of East Lou
isiana, West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee
and the Crosse Tete portion of Iberville will
not reach eight hundred hogsheads. In for
mer years the same section of the country
produced at least $4,000 hogsheads of sugar,
10000 barrels of molasses, 10000 bales of
cotton and any quantity of corn. This year
it will sum up about $500 bales of cotton,
300 hogsheads of sugar, 5000 barrels of mo-
lasses, and not enough of corn to last till
spring The. valuation of exportable pro-
ducts taking the average yield and price of
former years, in these nine parishes, was in
round numbers exceeding 100000 per
annum. Over two-third of this amount was
paid over, directly and indirectly, to swell
the capital of the North. The valuation this
year Will Hot cACcCA $''OO,OoVs
The REsULT.-The season that has Just
closed has again demonstrated that no one
need enter the planting lists with any hope
of making fortune. Even at the present
high prices of cotton, we have heard of but
few planters that have cleared money. The
lists were open to all professions, lawyers,
physicians, planters, merchants, spectators,
and even some of the freedmen embarked
their all in the enterprise of planting, and
we believe the general congratulation after
a year of unexampled anxiety in regard to
raids in the spring, high water in the sum-
mer, and the worm in the fall, is to have
gotten out of the business without loss.
There has been, of course, exceptional cases,
where the amateur planter made money,
but one such case can be balanced by a do
zen, wherein the operators lost heavily. Not
one-half of the flock of last years planters
will re-embark in the business, and the re-
mainder go in because it is keep in or starve.
The place of the lame ducks will, however,
be taken by fresh focks to whom we wish
better lucx

Before the Prouoa Mdrshak-Night before
last, a man named Moore was in the vicinity
of Smoky Row, and withdrawing along one
Of the alleys, was set upon by two soldier
of the 10th Regulars, and for a time usued
rather roughly but Moore, being an ath-
letic man, soon gained an advantage over
his assailants. Finding that they pursued
him heavily, he drew his revolver and shot
one Of the soldiers in the thigh, inficting a
serious flesh wound, which, however, is not
considered dangerous After his companion
was shot, the other soldier made his escape,
but was afterwards arrested and takenbefore
Captain Patten, by whom he was committed

taken to the Cumberland Hospital where his
wounds were dressed by Surgeon Storrow,
