OUR EIGHTH VOLUME.

This number Of the SUGAR PLANTER com
pletes its seventh volume. We worked
hard and faithfully the past year to make
it acceptable to our readers, with wbal
success, our rapidly increasing circulation
will attest. It was our intention to en-
large the paper for the next volume, so as
to contain moee reading matter, and al
low greater space fer advertising, but
eircumstar ces have prevented it. We
have made such additions, however, in
display" and other type, THAT will
enable US to satisfy the demands Of our
advertising patrons, and shall continue
to make such additions until we bring orr
paper up to what it was before the war.
AT that time we had one of the best coun,
try Offices in the State, and well supplied
in every particular, but with the exception
Of the stands, a few cases and the press,
all had disappeared through the beneyol,
ent agency of the beligerents. Picking
up q little type here and there-as we
could afford to buy it-and borrow
ing a little from this and hat Office. we
contrived to rake enough together to
make a start. We started, and success
fully reached the end of the volume.
When the wal closed we were in the
condition of thousands of others. Bust
ness broken up, property all destroyed,
destitute of clothing for self and family
with not a single article of household
use and a pocket full of Confederate
money. But the great blessing, health
was left. This, with energy and deter
minatioD, formed the lever with which we
started our fortunes once more. To a
great extent we have succeeded but
only by the most determined persever-
ance and careful management. Our lit
tie paper is now firmly established with a
business, shorn much Of its former
dimensions and appearance, it is true,
not wanting in zeal for the public
good. We shall spare no pains to merit
the favors of our friends, hoping by strict
attention to our duties to enlist their
sympathies for the success of our eighth
which we promise them shall be
improved and made more worthy of sup
port than either Of its predecessors.

Board Of Selectmen Of Baton Rouge have
appropriated que thousand dollars 10 aid

The late Fair in New Orleans was on
rather too grand a scale for the poor den

strictly speaking, a home affair, where
the products of the farm yard, farm stock
&c, can have a good showing for gener-
al utility. These are the fairs that pro.

that this matter may not be suffered

be shown. W. cordially endorse the sue.

Music.

On last Saturday night one week
ago, journcying from the city of
GAINESVILLE hither, while six miles
or more east of this city, fatigued
and almost wcrn out by the ride
and the heat of the scorching sun,
which had poured its rays upon us
for nearly twelve Hours we we're
suddenly aroused by a gentle
breeze, waiting sweet music into
our cars IN the Silly night. We
stopped our horses, and we listen
ed. We caughtthe strain, and we
we're onrapturcd. Our soul (Which
is our heart,O bounded with joy
Each note was distinct, and we
knew that we were approaching
the borders of civilization, for it i:
only in such places that music il
cultivated.
We started our jaded steeds once
more OH the tramp, and as we ap
preached the city even our horses
became inspired by the swee
sounds. We pressed eagerly for
ward, and when we arrived in Fas
town, we imagined thai it was th'
dulcet strainf of a Brass Band that
we heard.
As we came nearer, and drove t,
the hotel (Which is kept by Q
Flemm Esq, and is one of the bes
hotels in the state,) we at ono
knew that the proprietor was
gentleman and a scholar, for h

"sweet strains Of music"
Upon inquiry we learned to ou
utter astonishment, that it was no
a band Of music which had so in

Gen. BueII and Harry Conner.


The following anecdote waslately
communicated to the Ohio State
Journal BY correspondent Of that
paper:
Just after the battle Of Perry
vile, in Kentucky, as the army
was advancing towards Crab
Orchard, KY, Harry Conner,
printer. and private of the LIST
Ohio, gave out, his feet being so
so:e that he obtained permission to
"fall out," and "come up" as soon
as he could. Soon after be laid
down in the fence corner, General
Buell. and an orderly came riding a
long. when the General inquired Of
him, "who are your Harry Co.
mer," was the answer. What
regiment?" "1st Ohio" was the
reply, Col. Parrot" "What are
you doing here-why are you not
with your regiment% my legs
have given out" replied Harry
"You must move on to your regi-
mont at once ?" II can't-my legs
refuse to act" said Harry. "Ill
teach you TO keep up with your
regiment" "Glad of it doctor-l
hope you will give me new legs,
then" DO you know who you are
talking to?" "No, SIR" said Harry,
nor don't care d--n SO long as it
is not General McCook, Colonel
PARROT, or Captain Stafford. "
II am General Buell., and l order
you to joio your regiment" "WeIl
now, old follow you cant play of
on me that way. General Buell. al
ways keeps to the front when a
battle is expected, and shan't obey
you" The General got out of pa.
tience, and threatened to ride over
Harry, at the same time suiting the
action to the word, spurred his
horse forward, when Harry sprang
up and charged bayonet on the horse,
calling out rally by fours." The
General drew his sword, when Har-
ry jumped the fence, and told the
General if he did not step no wo'd
arrest him, make him dismount,
and march him to the first Ohio.
The General having on his fatigue
dress, and evidently nonplussed at
Harry's impudence or ignorance,
rode off.

over three months since the Old

this material, in order to establish

The material used in filling is
too loose, and our city Fathers will
find that after the first heavy rain,
the sand will be found again rest

street. This will afford employ
ment for she Supervisor, as he can
cart it back again, at the expense
of few dollars to the city, and at
the same time give him gentle ex-
ercisc. The Supervisor should be

that he may not get into mischief,

Fire.

Quite q disastrous conAagration
occurred in this city yesterday
morning. 1t broke out between 5
and 4 o'clock, in the large frame
buildiug on the corner Of Union
and Canal streets, known as More
locks brewery, now owned by a
Mr.. Ochs, who but recently pui-
chased the property. 1t being the
hour Of the city's profoundest slum-
bers, the fire had got under fearful
Roadway before the alarm was suf-
ficiently spread to bring the fire
companies upon the ground with
their machines, which were on
hand as promptly as possible-too
late, however, to prevent the vir-
ttual destruction of the building
with most ofits contents, consisting
.of.large stocks of barley, malt, hops
and manufactured beer, with large
quantity Of household furniture in
the part occupied as a.dwolling
house. The fire communicated t
tho large frame dwelling immo
diately south Of the brewery, which
was partially consumed, and saved
from total destruction only by thu
most strenuous exertions on thu
part OF the fremen.
The loss by this fire must amour
to several thousand dollars. W,
have heard a statement that thsr,
was insurance on the property I,
the extent OF $4,000.

DEATH OF MR. JOHN Goss.-On
the authority of an item which
was going the rounds of the press
we published on the 4th inst. an
account of the death Mr.. Goss as
having taken place by suicide. We
are now informed that the rela
tives of the deceased are in pos.
session of information leading them
to believe that his death was by
accidental, instead of intentional
drowning. Being afflicted with
chronic dialfh@a, it seems be had
occasion to go out during the night,
and in his debilitated condition il
is supposed he fell into the arti-
fetal pool of water where his body
was found, and it being walled
with stone, that he was unable to
extricate himself.
