UAoHIrA.-The Monroe Intelligence Of The IA

says:
The river opposite this place is falling very rap
idly With continued dry weather, we may ez-
pect navigation to close early next month. The
river is very low above, and steamers cannot J.
reach Camden. There are between two and three
feet water at Spoon Camp, and falling fast.
The planters have had good weather for TIVE
weeks, and have been enabled for the first time
tais year to kill the grass and the crops are now
| needing ram The cold weather from Wednesday
/ until yesterday has done much injury to cotton,
checking vegetation and causing is to wilt. A
haI crop ls all We may expect to be made. s -r
| IAE CROPS N ST. LAEDEY-Two weeks since
we noted our impression of the prospect of The
/ crops in this PARISH as having greatly improved,
| and we are happy to state now, from the very
| best authority, that that Improvement has beeR
steadily progressing, until at the present date st.
Landry has perhaps the most aatterine prospects,
| of fair crop, both Of cotton and corn, Of any
parish in the State. We heard an experienced
planter say, the other day, that under ordinary
circumstances at least full half-erop Of eottoa 4
would be gathered, as most Of the a1gar planta-
tions before the war now being cultivated in
cottOn.-L 0pelousas Sentinel
MILITARY RULE-0n last Saturday VIM. g. 1
Read Esq, justice of the peace Of the Washington
| yard in this parish, was arrested BY captain and
four negro soldiers, who on Sunday mornIng
started with their prisoner for New Orleans on the
! steamer Irene. We understand that the charge
| against Mr.. Read is that he refused to enforce
some Of the provisions Of the civil rights bill, in
! case where negro was wounded by white man
| on Bayou Bouf some weeks since.-GIbid.

I MAns.-0n the lst of July, J. B. Price, Esq,
u will take charge of the mail line from Berwiek'g
Bay to the Sabine, in Texas. For several weeks
he has been at work purchasing horses and stagess
and securing the services Of reliable agents and
drivers. No doubt the travelling to Texas sill be
e facilitated, and at the same time a much more
e punctual system of mail carrying established. A
2 desirable result, as our mails have been somewhat
scattered of late.-[ Yermillionville Advertiser.
VAGRANTs.-Although planters are anxious 20
l. obtain laborers and are paying handsome wages,
81 cash, to work their crops, still not day passes
,r but what reliable contrabands" " are to be seen
" struggling about the Streets with no visible meanE
B. of support and to earn their living by honest
labor seems to be the least Of their anxieties.
ID Three birds of that class confined in jail for
stealing, escaped last Tuesday night by breaking
an opening in one of the walls of the prison. The
az time they have passed in confinement will not re-
8. form them-on the contrary, such mild punish
: ment will encourage them to commit renewed acts
of stealing.-[Ibid.
- MAYOR ELAN IN CoURT.-His honor Mayer
49, Elan appeared before the honorable Fifth District
rk Court Saturday defendant in a suit brought
"a against him for damages to the amount of $40 600
= Some months ago the plaintiff was brought before
C. the mayor on charge of selling liquor without a
! license, found guilty and duly fined. Deeming
himself unjustly dealt with plaintiff lost his temper
n and INDUCED in grossly insulting and contempt
y uous language towards his honor, the result Of
q which he was committed to jail. The prosecution
r. was on charge for false imprisonment, which
. was dismissed by the court the ground that the
C. case was one of exclusive Jurisdiction.
