ouAoHIFA.-The editor of the Intellfgencer
recently made tour Of inspection on the railroad
from Monroe towards Vicksburg. He says:
The company is using every exertion this year
to complete the road to Yicksburg, and when the
route to that point is re-established, it is their
intention to commence operations west of the
0uathita, and push the road through to its west
ern terminus-the Texas line. When that is done,
this road must become the main link in the i'm
.portant route to the Pacific coast
The escaped convict, jim Livingston, a freed
man of about seventeen summers. who escaped
from the penitentiary in May last, made his escape
from the custody Of the sheriff the second time, by
breaking the lock by which he was chained he
did not succeed, however, in breaking the hand
cufis and nanaeles with which he was bound. He
was captured at Limerick on Bayou DeSiard,
where he was concealed by another freedman,
who gave him passage on a wagon which was in
town for the purpose. Jim was placed in jail, i'm
mediateIy after il was received from the builder.
The next morning he broke the irons from his
limbs and was found at large in the cell. He told
the sheriff twas useless to iron him. as it was only
ehild's play for him TO shake the irons of. He
took passage on the Fieksburg to re-enter the

MoREHousE.- Crawford arrived from the
parish of M0rehouse, last Sunday, where he has
been presiding over the Twelfth District Court of
SAID parish for the last i've weeks. Three hundred
and sixty eight causes were decided during the
term, and out Of about eight hundred, every case
was called. So much labor has never been got
through before any judge in this country and we
understand that the decisions in nearly every case
were satisfaotory-hen the few appeals which
have been filed at the present term of the Supreme
Court-[M Monroe Intelligencer.
E JACKsoN.-The corn crop of this and the adj
joining parishes, from all that we have been able
to learn from diligent inquiry Of persons from

looked more uupromising at this season of the
year than at present The fact is. that unless we
have rain before long, the corn crop will be the
little end of nothing whitfield down to point
The cotton crop is now looking more encouraging

CADDo.--We regret to be informed that the con
structon train employed in carrying cross-ties and
iron on this end OF the Shreveport and Texas rail
road was thrown from the track on Sunday night
aboutsx miles from the city, and, it is feared that
the damage done TO the platform cars will retard
the work for several days We have not learned
the particulars Of the disaster but hope the dam
age Isl not so great as represented.
We are pleased to notice the arrival at our
wharf of two magnificent passenger cars, for the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
The whirl Of omnibuses through our streets i'm
parts new life, and gives thriving aspect to the
business world. Shreveport News, July II.
NATCHTooHEs.--T editor of the Shreveport
News writes to that paper from Grand Bayou as
follows;
The crops of cotton and corn at this point look
wretched; but the corn between here and Grand
Eeore looks passable Evidently, from the water
marks, the whole of this section of country has
been under Some places look as if the fields had
been overlooked eight feet at least.
TERREBoNNE.- The rainy season is upon us. We
had one day this week without rain. However, in
the lower parts of the parsh-that is, near the
gu--lu6 rams nave btCA NSiJ liSAtJ 3lu III SpLi6
places none at oil. We continue to hear faYora-
Bile accounts of the crops throughout the parish
excepting, of course, the overflowed district.
The plantation of Messrs. Blanchard a. Ransom,
on Bayou Grand Gallon, was sold at sherif7s sale
last Saturday, for sl0515 1t is said to have cost
over 100000. twas bought by Mr.. Victor Blu
ron.-[G Civic Guard.
ST. HRLENA.-We have been informed that on
the farm of our old friend William Fletcher, his
entire cotton crop averages from $50 to 200 forms
and bolls to the stalk.
II no calamity befas the cotton crop, ana
other parts of old st. Helena yield as that
portion is dong, she will once more rise up and
stand as she stood five years ago.
