| TROUBLE BREWING.-The telegraph informs Us that
prominent members Of both parties now in New Ore-
ans scent trouble ahead, and by the way of comparing
notes and devising means to insure peace and tranquil
ity, held an informal meeting at the Governors Office
The Democratic members struck at the root of the
evil when they suggested the proprety of stopping
the present system of aggressive and oppressive egs
laon. Let them put stop to the present partisan
legislation and there will be no need of informal or
other kind OF meetings to insure peace and tran
guilty to the country. But on the other hand if
they do not all the formal and informal meetings
known to the world will not prevent strife and blood
shed. Well they mg hit snuff trouble ahead when the
dominant party using every means in their power
to bring it about, while the minority are too weak to
prevent it, The Janus-fa faced Warmoth stated he was

hot Cotton picking has commenced in earnest in the

of more damage to the crop from the boil worm than
the caterpillar though yet nothing serious has trans
pired. Much damage, however, is anticipated by the
aIarmsts who that it only requires little more
time to make clean sweep of the cotton weed. Many
well informed persons still of the opinion that as
much will be made as can be picked out, in spite of
the worm. During the past week seven bales new
cotton were received in this city, while last year only
one bale was received up to the lst of September.
