The fears felt in regard to the appearance Of
the cotton worm seem to have partially subsidized

some planters thatit is not the cotton worm but
the grass worm that has been seen.

There is no longer any chance, either in Monroe
or Trenton, to getup sensation about the cholera.
we o.not hear now of case of dry cholera even,

hitch up and come right aIong--no cholera, small
pox or yellow fever here Telegraph.
The Hon. John Ray has returned from Phila-

such an occurrence had transpifed down South

If the editors Of the New York Sun and the Tri-
bune really think the agent of the freedmen's
bureau for jackson parish has been killed, they
can wlna small sum in greenbacks out in Vernon,

prove correct Lieut.. Butts, like the rat in the
table, has found a cheese over in Natchitoches,
and is doubtless comfortably housed up there,

GATHERING OF THE FREEDMEN.-We omitted in
our last mentioning a gathering Of the freedmen
OF This vicinity at the bureau Office to have the law
lately passed by Congress in relation to the dona-
ton OF lands explained to Them.
Captain Amrein, the agent, as we understand,
after doing so, gave them some very good advice

THE LABOR QUEsTIoN.-We notice in the New
Orleans Times, letters from Enrich, Switzerland
which we presume TO be from orr fellow towns
man the Rev B. r. White, il which il is stated
that farm abcrera can be brought to this parish at
aTeXpen3e Of from $40 to $50 each, which they
will bind themselves to pay out of their wages the
first year, waiting for balance until the close of the
year. Planters who have the means to advance
and convenience to accommodate these laborers,
will scarcely hesitate to choose between such a
plan and the present extremely uncertain and an
noying one.-[lbid. -s
