Natural soil with fair proportion OF clay and

AMUsEMENTs.

VARIETIEs.-"Masks and Faces" that beautiful
comedy which, already twice presented, has
charmed all who have witnessed it, will be repeat
ed this evening with the original cast. Now, that
the election is over we hope TO see q marked i'm
provement in the attendance upon the really ex.
cellent dramatic performance nightly offered by
Manager Floyd.
The ACADEMY.-A good audience, despite its
being election night, assembled Last evening to
witness the entertainment offered. The perform.
ances embraced an amusing impersonation by
Dick Ralph, of George. the Masher," who sang
little :. hime," and q fine ballet. besides other
enjoyable features. The trapeze performance OF
Mr.. Dave Hawley was such one as is rarely seen.
This gentleman is as 1.-the and active as a man can
be- and seems as much at home In his trapeze up
in the roof of the building as he would be on the
floor. His sudden jump from the trapeze, hanging
by strap attached to one ankle, is feat that to
night, embracing the above and other attractions.
ST. CHARLEs.-Joly, good-natured Treasurer
Gleason is here, and brings with him pleasant
reminders of the old st. Charles in its glory. He
will have charge Of the box-offce during the sea-
son, which our readers will remember opens to.
morrow evening under the auspices OF Mark
Smith and Ben De Bar, as Sir Anthony and Bob
Acres in the Rivals" The theater has been
thoroughly repaired and repainted, and presents
snowy and attractive appearance within.
AMEs' CIRCUS AND MESAGERIE.-This mammoth
travelling entertainment after an extended tour
through the South and West, again returns TO
New Orleans, and will be thrown open to the
public at Tiyol Circle tomorrow evening. Every
one knows Col. Ames' enterprise and liberality as
manager, and how successful be has always
been hitherto in catering 10 the tastes of amuse-
ment seekers. His circus and menagerie come to
us this year with increased attractions, among
which are included Miss Lucille Watson, the &C,
complished equestr eDne, and Lede Gszano, a
genuine beauty from the mountains of Circassia,
whence come the fairest women in the world.
We can promise those who visit Col. Ames' enter.
tainment an enjoyable time of it under the broad
canvas.

VIVA bale of cotton can be trans.
ported from here to New York by rail for
only a trifie more than it can by water.
Therefore, bale of cotton can be sent from
jackson, Miss, or Vicksburg, or Memphis,
to New York direct by rail cheaper than it
can be sent to New Orleans and thence to
New York. Now, as the grower of the cotton
pays, in the difference of price, the freight
bill, 10 it not evident that the planter in Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana or Alabama, who can send
his crop 10 New York direct and there sell it
TO- better advantage than he can send it to
New Orleans and there dispose of it, will do
that which gives him the most money! Now
why is this so? Water transportation must
always be cheaper than rail, and yet the
freight hence to New York is very nearly
identical by both routes. Unless this matter
is remedied-unless we can run steamers and
sailing vessels out of this port cheaper than
cars be run, New Orleans will lose day by
day that cotton trade which she is now too
apt to fondly imagine can never be taken
away from her. Let our factors and mer-
chants look to this. 1t is not subject that
can long be let alone with safety.

For some time past many persons in
terested in the sugar crop of this year have
been exercised as to the probable yield, and
the anxiety to determine the result at the
commencement of the season may cause
some disappointment. 1t was apprehended,
at one time, from reported damage caused by
the storm, that deduction on the estimates
of the various parishes, accurately made, of
ten per cent, would be about correct; but
now that some of our planters have COM
menced to grind, it is well ascertained that
the yield of the rattoons ground gives satisfac-
ton, and, with a continuance of favorable
weather, the crop of this year will exceed one
hundred thousand hogshsads of sugar, and
may reach one hundred and thirty thousand
hogsheads.
If we were to give credence to the various
reports about the extraordinary yield of iso-
lated patches already ground, as basis
yielding it is reported three hogsheads to the
acre, the amount would far exceed any esti-
mate We have heard. We therefore incline
to the figure we place it at, which is lower
than any report we receive from parties who
have right to know but making all due
allowances for contingencies and fair deduc-
ton on the inflated estimates of some planters,
the amount we place it at may be considered
as near reliable at this time, as any estimate
can be made. In the parish of st. John the
Baptist, the old rattoons yield on Terre Haute
q. w. Goodburys) plantation over a hogshead
to the acre, having ground twenty-six ar
penis yielding twenty-eight hogsheads. The
yield is also good on other plantations-Mar-
million Bros.-and it is reported that on
Mays plantation the yield on plant canes
average two hogsheads to the acre. Under
these circumstances there need be no appre-
hension of q failure of the sugar crop this
year, or Of its not giving general satisfac-
ton.
