DEsTRUcT1oN-In 1860 what is known as the
Red River country produced 100000 bales OF
cotton, 100000 hogsheads of sugar, and 3l7,-
900 barrels of molasses. This year these crops
will be but small per cent. of the figures
given the levees on the Arkansas and MlSsls-
sppi rivers being broken, the land wasted from
overflow, the capitalists taxed into begggaryy,
and the laborers engaged making laws. This is
not cheerful exhibit, but as its statistics are
found in memorial from reconstruction con-
vention to Congress, it cannot be said to be in
sprd by any desire to unduy paint int & the Tb Fqo
Red River country portions Of Louisiana, Mis-, .
sissippi and Arkansas-is by nature garden OF
the Heperides The cotton it produces is only less
fine than Sea Island, and the quality otlts sugar
cane is unsurpassed. To its many advantages
there is but one drawbacks break, or crevasse,
in the levee-and just this very disadvantage,
which neutraizes every good SO bountltully .l
vouchsafed to this region, has come IN the
train OF this unnecessary and illegal Congress
sional intermedding.

South CAROLINA SENATOR'S The scene in
the Senate Chamber when the South Carolina
Senators presented themselves to be sworn IN
was one of deep interest to spectators. Saw
yer held certificate under the ''great seal,'
but he had been voted for by the Democratsin,
the Legislature, and had defeated the negro
favorite. Hence he was followed by protest
which was presented by Senator Howard
charging that Sawyer had been blockade-run-
ner during the war and could not take the
iron-cad oath. Here Senator Davis called at
tention to the testimony taken before a com;
mission appointed by President Lincoln, and
asked why the Senator should object to Saw
yer, when the same objection would lie with
much greater force against an ex-General Of
the army-now known as the hero Of Big Beth
ell and Fort Fisher. !! However, said Mr.: Da-
Wis, the contest is one of comparatively, little
interest," since we expect soon to be able to
send all these gentlemen home as unconstltu-
tionalIy elected.
