The accounts of the cotton crop of the
South are said to be very encouraging,
and it is anticipated that the yield Will
exceed 100000 bales. The planters
and farmers are in high spirits as to
their prospects. In addition to cotton
and sugar sufficient wheat, corn and
sweet potatoes have been raised to feed
the laborers. In previous years the
planters obtained advances from the
factors in order to support their hands
while the cotton was growing. The e1-
pense of this system was very great, ana
required the planter frequently to sell
in a depressed market in order to repay
the debt with interest and commissions
incurred at the beginning of the season;
This wear a new policy was adopted aud
the planters being free from the claims
of tteir creditors, had full contrel OF
tbeir cotton. AS result of this meth
od of doing business, it is asserted tnat
the Iiyerpool spectators have been de-

What amount of hunting is now done
in Louisiana may be udged of from the
fact that there are now five hundred
hunters at work between Bayou La
fourche and Bayou Des Alemands. A
supply of powder is daily sent down to
them by the Opelousas train, and that
this is no inconsiderable quantity will be
seen when it is stated that a good hun
ter ought to kill at least forty or fifty
ducks day, on an average. The game
that is thus brought to market IS solo
by contract at twenty-five cents per
pair.
