TERREBoNNE.-The Civic Guard Of the 31st ult
says: gag. t
| We have had one of the most favorable seasons
| for planting, SO far, that we ever remember to
have seen in this parish. The desire for rain had
just become general, when the rain came, as it
were, at the call. We have had just such a soft,
slow, quiet rain as farmer loves to see.
The IBERvILLE SoUTH.-Dr. C. Ward, the editor
of the Iberylle South announces that after the list
of this month the South will be published in
French and English, SO as to have the sphere of
its usefulness increased by making it the organ of
the Franco American population of those sections
of the State in which it circulates most extern
sively. The South is already one of our most
valued Louisiana exchanges, and we shall be glad
to see its usefulness increased by the addition of
French sde.
FAILING HoGs.-The Iberville South says:
Our town constable took charge of quite num-
Der of hogs, found running at large, last Sunday
morning, and, having no more convenient place,
locked them in Jail to await reclamation. Our
citizens should not forget that hogs "lying about
loose are misunderstanding if not intelli-
gent''-these hard times, and should be kept up.
unless they wish to supply other peoples pork
barrels. 5I" 117
IRERv1LLE.-In regard to affairs generally in
Ibervile, the South says: &c.,
Produce continues to arrive here for the interior
and the quantity being brought here goes to show
our drowned outn friends are straining every
nerve to secure a crop this season. We need not
say we hope they may succeed-such is our prayer
to Him who blesses the earth. To our citizens,
however, we would say, do not fail to plant an
abundance of corn We are buying bread now,
for the very good reason that it was impossible to
raise it last year. but this season we are not likely
to have the same excuse for not being bountifully
supplied. 1t is in our own solicit us have it out.
Weunderstand some white laborers went to Crosse
Tete last week. We hope to see others following
them soon. Cutie is not reliable and, although in
this parish he SET to work toeraby well, there are
already indications of restlessness which forebode
no good to the planter under our present sytem of
labor. ," =d
The South complains that the people are now
enjoying the only two legacies left by .our
Northern brethren" poverty and the small pox.
Steps have been taken to organize fire com
pany in the town of Plaquemne.
PoINTE CouPEE.-The Echo thinks that if the
new leyees are strong enough to resist the recent
rise reported at Memphis, the parish will be saved
from overflow.
JACKSONVILLE North Louisianian published at
Vienna, in the parish of jackson, thus speaks of
crop prospects in that section
We have made diligent inquiry of the planters
of this and adjoining parishes to their prospects
for crops the present year, how the freedman con-
ducts himself and works, etc., etc. The reports
made to us are very conflicting, but still we know
enough to venture the assertion that things are
looking much more promising for the future than
the most sanguine expectations of few months
ago. a9 giag1i @aaaa 4
The freedmen as general thing, are working
much better than was expected and consequently
the prospects of our planters for crops are much
better than heretofore. There is a scarcity of
labor in this section Of country, though not so
great as in many others and the consequence will
be-, that many broad acres will be uncultvated
and short crop of cotton may be expected.
The Louisanian states that there is prospect
for the establishment of a cotton factory at
Vienna. .gE&a g{ar 3FE1 81 Fa-llI5. Z
