A DESPERATE SITUAT1oN.-Thurlow
Weed acknowledges that Republicanism
is totering. He says: Large cities, like
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Gincin-
natti, San Francisco and Rochester have
been wrested from our grasp. Nor is
this ALL. Entire States have faltered by
the way, and withdrawn their support
from the Republican party. New York,
instead of being in the Republican col
uimn. writhes under the incubus Of a fl
.ty thousand Democratic majority. Penn
sylvania, California, Connecticut and
New Jersey, so lately plucked like a
brand from the burning, have likewise
relapsad." All this he claims to be the
result Of bad management, and looks to
to Grant as the Hercules that Is to heave
the cart.wheel out Of the mud.

THE PARISH OF ST. LANDRY
VIII.

Up to the present time, we have furnish
ed onr readers with a description of the
northern, middle, and western portions of
our parish and we now turn to q general
survey of the eastern section. st. Landry
has a water front upon the Atchafalaya
river of some sixty miles. This portion of
the parish, embracing several townships, is
covered with a dense growth of timber; and
is within the overaowed section of our State.
On the Immediate banks of the Atclafalaya,
in ordinary seasons, crops may be made
and were the same means used as formerly
in securing the ~levees. much valuable land
would be brought under cultivation.
On the Bayou Rouge, a branch of the
river. are found some rich and valuable
lands, excellent for corr and cotton. The
same may be said of the Big Cane, Dry
Bayo IL Waxia, and other interior streams.
The Courtableau, formed by the Crocodile
and Bayou Beuf, connects our parish with
New Orleans by way Of the Atchafalaya
and Mississippi rivers.
To within a few miles of Washington
(our main shipping point the lands q the
C%ourtableau are subject to annual inuAda-
ton, and have therefore but little valuAin
an agricultural point Of view. Still tNs
vast belt of timber will always be of greaz
value to the parish, far building and FEM
cling, materials. MI. N
.s Until such time as Il prairie lands SHAY
be settled, this body Sand will not b
sought for farming purpo& owing to the
great labor required for Glen ng the same.
Continuing up the Courtableau to the
junction of the Beuf and Crocodile, we en-
ter one of the most beautiful portions of
the parish. On either side of the Beuf are
seen large and valuable plantations, which
in former times were covered with luxuri-
ant sugar-cane, cotton and corn.
A sufficient body of open land is tc be
had on the Beuf to support ten times the
present population, and the quantity and
quality of the timber is both abundant and
useful. Considerable sugar-cane has been
planted this season, with the intention of
again making this garden spot what it
formerly was. To such as may desire To-
eating IN this parish, we recommend the
Bayou Beuf, especially if they intend cul-
tivating sugar-cane. t4

TNIIE subscriber offers to farmers through
Il out the country the
EGYPTIAN CORN,
which. upon trial, was found to ripen, planted
even the last of July. 1t is estimated, from its
very prolific qualities, to yield $50 bushels per
acre, aud virgins, by sealed measure, 63 pounds
to the bushtl.-This corn was produced by
some procured direct from Mr.. Jones, our con-
sular agent, directly on his return from Egypt.
1t needs no different culture from that Of
other varieties, and in the South two crops can
be raised in one season on the same ground.
1t grows in the form of a tree. and thirty-four
ears have grown upon one stock, and will
average from FIVE to fifteen. For domestic
use it is unparalleled. When ground and prop
crly bolttd, it is equal in color and tinencss to
wleaten -four. AS a forage crop, by sowing
in drills, or broadcast. for early feed, there is
no kind of corn so well adapted to milch cows,
and none that will yield half the value i'll stalk
or corn.
1t can be successfully grown in any State.
| give the most satisfactory references that
the corn is, in every respect, what represent
it to be and, further, | Am the only person
throughout the country who has this variety
of corn. Having secured a quantity, | am
now able to fill all orders for those DESTROYS of
