service as an officer in any grade, an
addition of one hundred and nine

reg We endorse the timely and

remedial suggestion thrown out by
our correspondent in the annexed
communication. The writer is a
gentleman of high personal and pro-
fessional character and standing in
our community. His sentiments do
honor to his generous nature and
coupled with the practical method he
proposes for furnishing the ill-fated
inhabitants of the ovorhowed dis
tricts, with cultivable soil upon the
uplands of our parish, cannot fail to
meet with general commentator.
There are thousands of acres of
good arabic land in this parish now
lying fallow and unproductive, the
proprietors of which, should, and we
doubt not, would, throw them open
to the unfortunate refugees from the
flood, free of rent, at least for the
present year, or until such a time as
the tenants could labor to accumulate
a sum sufficient to pay a reasonable
rent and finally to purchase home
steads for themselves and their fami-
lies on ground above the reach of
overAows.
Much of the vacant land mentioned,
is within easy reach of this city, and
could be made available for immedi.
ate use, so that corn, cotton, vegetables,
&C., might yet be planted and mature
in time to yield tolerable crops. But,
there is no time to lose. Will not

The Baton Rouge State Fair.

To the People of the State Of Louisiana:
At meeting of the members of
the Baton Rouge State Fair Associa-
ton, held on the 2Sth of March, 1867,
it was unanimously agreed to post
pone the Exhibition contemplated
for the month Of May ensuing, until
the third Monday in October next ;
and the undersigned were appointed
committee to make official public
notification thereof, and to explain
the reasons which influenced this
change in the original programme of
the Association.
In obedience to the duty thus as
signed them, the undersigned need
only refer in brief to existing facts
connected with the present unfort-
innate condition of the overfowed
regions of the State, and to the gen.
eral backwardness of the planting
interests throughout the remaining
regions; as also, to the yet unsettled
condition of political affairs in the
South-each in itself furnishing con-
siderations Of sufficient moment to
induce a postponement Of the Fair
until next fall.
Without a general cooperation Of
the agricultural communities in the
project of the Association, it would
be vain to attempt holding a Fair this
Spring, with expectations Of success.
This cooperation, it would be impos-
sible, under the present adverse cir
cumstances, for our agricultural friends
to extend. A large proportion of the
alluvial district in and contiguous to
the Mississippi Valley, is inundated,
entailing severe privations and suffer,
ings upon the unfortunate inhabi-
tants and in the upland districts,
an unpropitious season has interposed
to set back the plans and progress of
the husbandman. In view of such
prospects, the time and attention of
the important classes thus affected,
must continue to be too seriously
engaged with their own immediate
affairs of family and home, to be
directed to matters elsewhere.
For these reasons principally, was
the State Fair postponed. Mean
while, the Association will proceed
with the work in hand Of improving
the grounds, to the end that they
may be in a complete state of readi
ness for the Exhibition in October,
by which time, it is hoped, that the
suffering agriculturalists of our State
may have SO far recuperated their
means and energies as to contribute
by their presence and in whatever
other manner they can, to the sue
cess of the Fair.

BATON ROUGE, La April stl

BATON ROUGE, La April 9Th, 1867.
Filter Gazette and C0net-Now that the
people of Western Louisiana are sub
merged by the great food, and they have
no chance or prospects of cultivatlng the
soil that is now overlooked by crevasses
and otherwise, during the present year,
would it not be advisable for the proprie-
tors of lands of East Baton Rouge, to in
vito these people west of the Mississippi
River to come to East Baton Rouge, where
there are thousands of acres of rich and
uncultivated and idle lands, and cultivate
the soil of this parish free Of rent and m AXE
something during the present year?
1t is certain that under the present
regime Of things, the levees on the Missis-
sippi River cannot be kept up, and there is
no security for the planters now attempt
ing to cultivate the alluvial lands of the
Mississippi valley, and they would gladly
accept the offering of the land proprietors
of this parish to come and cultivate the
soil free of rent, for the present year. Such
an invitation would it seem to the writer.
meet the appreciation of every individual
in the parish, and would at the same time
manifest noble and generous spirit on
the part Of tho ,eople Of East Baton Rouge,
and be gladly accepted by hundreds of
those who IRE now overfowed and de-
sirous Of IL DIM SDot to apply the shovel and

THE LATE AFFAIR OF HONOR.
Through the Intervention of mutual
friends, the matter at variance be-
tween Col. E. M. Yerger, of Jackson,
and Col. j. M. Partridge, of Vicks-
burg, was honorably adjusted. We
learn from those who were on the
ground that both parties deported
themselves with manly courtesy and
dignity, and that the terms of settle
ment were eminently honorable and
satisfactory. We regret to learn,
however, that a difficulty subse-
quently occurred between Col. L. B.
Manlove, of Vicksburg, and Col.
Yerger, growing out of the former
challenge, which resulted in fight.
We have not heard the particulars,
but learn that on the first fire Col.
Yerger's ball passed near Col. Man

which the parties returned to Vicks-

ANOTHER CREvAssE. We learn
that break in the levee in front OF
Mr.. Micajah Courtney's, in West
Baton Rouge, about eighteen miles
above this, occurred on last Monday
night. Thus does disaster after dis.
aster overtake our suffering neighbors
ia West Baton Rouge.
We are informed also, that the
Chinn Levee, in the same parish, is
in very precarious condition. A
body of laborers have been put to
work upon it to try and save it.
The Hall Levee, just below our
city, is still considered unsafe, requir.
ing close watching. Some seventy
of the Penitentiary hands were sent
down there yesterday morning, under
q requisition, to work upon it.
The heavy and constant rains Of
late have interfered very seriously
with levee operations.
