v The weather has continued fair
the whole of the past week, with the
exception of two hours light shower,
which did no harm. The Corn crop is
in a fine plight and promising well; no
fault can be found with it. The same
may be said of the cotton crop, good
Glands everywhere. But then we must
announce the lamentable and ruinous
fact, that the genuine eatapillars are
in the Parish, have made their appear
ance in every part of it and are actually
eating the cotton. Of this fact there
can be no doubt and we look it as the
death 'knell to the cotton crop of Rap
ides. By the 18th of June there will
not be a full leaf left standing in any
field in the Parish. In this sad fix,
this fearful extremity, what are our
planters and farmers to do? There is
but one come out that we can perceive
for our already ruined people: plough
up every available acre of spare land
and plant corn with the least possible
delay. Corn is money anywhere and
at ali times; besides we have six weeks
start of the West in the New Orleans
market. So plant corn and plant all
you can.

W The two race horse clippers,
Lafourche and Bart. Able, are again on
the rampage. Both left New Orleans
on last Saturday on a big race and on
time smashing. The Lafourche reach
ed this Town, the half way ground in
the race, one hour and half ahead OF
the Able, making the fastest time on
record between New Orleans and Alex
andria, twenty-nine hours and thirty
eight minutes. Up to this the Piota's
time, 80. 40, made in November 1852,
remained unbeaten. So Ben. Kouns
has at last the coveted horns, that have
remained undisturbed for nearly six
teen years. Who will take them from
him?
But Shreveport is the Judges Stand,
and from the movement of the Bart.
Able, on leaving here, she had no no.
ton of giving up the race. AS we have
no telegraph we must wait till to-mor-
row to know the result. En- attendant
we must assure the public that both
are fine boats, well differed and de-
serve liberal patronage.

HARD Or. THE Vicksburg Times
has the following good one:
The colored population in the coun
try are not as comfortably situated as
VIC could wish them. A gentleman
living in Warren country, informed
us yesterday; that many Of them are
utterly destitute and with out the
means Of procuring the necessities Of
life. Herelated to us one incident that
forcibly illustrated the straits in which
they are now placed. Having fought
off the pangs Of hunger all day, one old
woman turned to her dearly beloved
and said, Uncle William, | 'clar' to
goodness human flesh wont stand it no
longer. Fotch in dat last hen, and if
we'se bound to starve let's be done t'ro'
wild it fore pickin' time."

----B 100 T--------
RJa Four of our best and most res
pectable citizens have been arrested
and taken to New Orleans before the
notorious US. Commissioner Shannon,
to answer some frivolous charge sworn
to by the great Radical Miscegnator
and Renegade, w. B. Phillips. To
show the malice and infamy of Radical
ism, as now practieed in this State, we
will state the simple facts in the case.
Phillips makes out he is in dread of his
life and that great threats of violence
have been made by the parties accused
against his person. His redress was
readily at hand in having the parties
arrested here by the Civil Authorities
and bound over to the District Court
in good and solvent bonds, besides
bound over to keep the peace. But he
made no such effort, but whipped off
to New Orleans, with malice afore-
thought, and laid his complaint before
the Grand Mogul, that he could not
get Justice and all that sort of Radical
stuff, and at once the warrant was
issued and the u. s. Marshall sent up
here to execute it. Now we would ask
was ever such imposition, such tyran-
ny heard of before the reign of the
present dynasty in America 7 No
mans liberty is safe, when men can be
dragged away from their business, their
homes and families by the edicts of
such minor Courts, and the Civil law at
home is perfect and points out the re-
dress easily and clearly. Will these
outrages never cease, will we never
have peace9
We understand that a squad of the
Goth U. S. Infantry from this Post went
up on the Lafourche to Phillips resi-
dence to protect him. Go it boots |!
Fire la bagatelle.

WHICH ~ CidiulS " nave Ueell GIuS COunIul-
ed, does not contradict the public impress
sion that there had been q criminal ad-
vance on tho part of the negro soldier. We
took this allegation as we had right to
take it, as an alleged abnse ofthe position
which had been claimed for the race lately
brutalized, as is said. by slavery. These
consequences are as apparent to the white
men and women ofthe North as to US.
Is there anything improbable in such Of,
atrocious attempt at this time and in this
country? Has it not happened in other in
stances? In Kentucky, in Alabama, in
Virginia, the Carolinas and in Mississippi?
Because q fendish manifestation Of the
same spirit we are grateful that it was re-
PEELED and punished-may have fallen up
on others than ourselves shall We be de-
nounced for our act or our object in COM
menting upon the rumor? Should We be in
slrumental in producing proof that the me-
gro is restrained by no feeling Of gratitude
or sense Of propriety We shall have aided
the cause Of truth. We feel that il we
have caused it to be shown that the doc
trine Of social amalgamation is the doc
trine Of degradation Of race, we should be
entitled to the gratitude Of our OVID race
North and South. We at least think that
the same charity which magnaDimously per-
mitted the culprit, with an intent to COM
init the highest social crime known TO the
law, to depart untried and unpublished,
might cover with its most elastic mantle
those whose sole offense has been to talk
or write about the occurrence.
