Our Finances.

{ "Do you know Any one who has fow hun
ared TO lend! ':No; but We know of a fer
h"ndrcd who would like to borrow" is the re-
ply. There is striking commentary in this
upon the times. Without doubt, the country
is hard up; and were it not for assistance from
abroad, the starvation and misery Which has
visited some of our unfortunate neighbors in
spite Of all efforts would be almost universal.
: But it will never avail us to give way to de-
spair. Let us look the crisis full in the face,
and rcsolutely endcayor'to moct it as best we
may And first, let us consider briefly the
causes of this general depression in our midst.
and SEQ if we. can gather from these sources any
reasons for encouraging hopes of the future
/ First, the failure of crops last year left the
whole country so poorly supplied for the pre-:
sent season, that clog was laid upon all agri-
cultural enterprises, which arc the basis of our
material prosperity. This State is dependent
for support upon her great staples and in case
of a failure in the crops, We have no manu-
factured fabrics to sond abroad to exchange for
the products of other sections; hence without
gratuitous assistance from the bcncyocncc of
strangers, our people at such time must sui.
fer many and great privations. Boing under
this state Of affairs now tho question arises is
g. =
there any hope of bettoring our condition in
this respect? We are happy to be able to
point to the crops Of the present season, and
find in them sign Of encouragement Ma
ture seems TO have smiled upon the labors' of
the industrious planter, and holds out to him
the prospect Of an ample harvest. Tn visiting
different parts Of our District of late, and in
hearing reports from othor sections, VIC arc ius-
titled in concluding that the crop of the pre-
sent year, when brought to market, v III tend
greatly to the amelioration of our condition.
I Secondly, the disagrccmcnts between debtor
and. creditor, the existence of Stay Law, and
the accumulation Of litigation consequent
thcrcon,-all these tended to add to to the dis.
trcss incident upon the failure.of the Southern
cause But here again, there is hone in the

l must say that many of the accounts that
read, Concerning the fertility of the soil &c,
OF that .country), previous to my visit there,

lands were cultivated according to our system,
they would produce about thirty five (35) or
forty (40) bushels of corn to the acre and from
twelve hundred to thirteen hundred pounds of
seed cotton; again., the corn might not make
anything, if planted according to our system,
Tor l was told that tho object of the Brazilian
in planting his corn thick is to shade the land
and protect it from the heat of the sun during
long dry seasons, which they frequently have.

Americans that are planting in that country

grown successfully, only in certain sections of
the Empire, owing very much to the climate as
well as the position that the ground must occu-
py in regard to the sun, as the lands of the
country are generally rolling. Sugar cane
grows well, but the joints are generally very
short. Tobacco also grows. finely in certain
sections j was told by Braziians that the
lands in tho vicinity of Bahia arc best adapted
to the growth Of this plant.

covered with very thick forests; and it is

The First Texas cavalry formed q part OF
the force under General Davidson in his raid
to Pascaeoula from Baton Rouge. Severe Or
ders hal been issued against struggling and
foraging. One night, after hard day march,
Colonel HAYNES and Major Holt, OF the First
Texas had Just got Comfortably to bed when a
big hog set up a most unearthly squcal in the
neigh6orhood OF the camp. The Colonel inn
mediately began to rouse an orderly TO send
for the officer of the day, when the Major,
opening his eyes yawned out: s,6t,
"Lie down, Colonel, that's none OF our
men," .H
.How do you know that's none of our men,"
"Well, Colonel, 1 have campaigned heap
more with this regiment than you, and / have
found out that when the First Texas strikes a
hog it never squeals but once"
That was entirely satisfactory, and the
Colonel slept calmly.
In the old times ofthe Texas Republic Gem
eral Houston was sorely troubled with lot of
visionary madcaps who were constantly urging
on a war OF determination against the Mexi-
cans, numbering some seven millions OF peo-
pie, and the Indians, who at least equaled the
few thousand of whites then in Texas. On one
occasion committee of these young war
horses waited ON the General, their chairman
and spokesman being Hugh M, young
lawyer recently arrived from Georgia. A large
crowd was present. and M, who was a
handsome young fellow and a very elegant
speaker, improved the occasion to recite the
wrongs OF the people, to enlarge on the bar
barity of the foe, and to explain to the Presi-
dent his duty, OF which he demanded an i'm
mediate performance. Old Sam rose to the
full majesty. OF his great form, and raising his
face and hands solemnly upward, said: "Heav-
