Humboldt, states that on Sunday night
week n Mr. Meredith Lewis was robbed
of $40. He says twelve soldiers and a
negro man came to his house and told
him they had an order for his arrest and
took him ont into the woods some two
hundred yards; then sent part of their
men back and succeeded in getting the
money: they then brought him into
town within hundred yards Of the mi

if he would go home and behave him

The Tcnurc-Of-Onice.

A Washington date says the develop
mGnt of the manner in which the ten
urc-of-o office act was treated in the
House accounts in part for the dccep-
ton under which the House agreed TO
the bill. In the report, read in the
House, the words "until the end of the
session" were omitted, which led many
Republicans to believe that the suspen-
sion was indefinite, and as absolute as
removal, but as explained in the SEN
ate, and as it stands enrolled, it is pre-
ciscly the reverse. The whole thing is
a barefaccd chcat,-and the impression

THE SUGAR CROP.
A private letter from Louisiana says;

A private letter from Louisiana says;
The winter here has been extremely
mild (or open, as you say, or soft. as
might be said.) everywhere, it appears
from all accounts. With us it has been
very wet. We have seen very little ice,
but have been delugcd with rain, which
first impeded our cane grinding, and
now prevents our cane planting. Our
planters have had u hard time with
their sugar making this winter, but the
yield has been more than commonly
satisfactory. | did not expect a crop of
more than $4,000 hogsheads, but from
all accounts the yield will exceed 100,-
600 hogshcads. Never was the cane
known to yield so much. The culture
this year will be very much augmented,
and preparations are being made to
plant u large crop. All the planters
that made sugar last year are increasing
their culture, and places that had been
abandoned since the war are now being
worked. Should the weather prove ia
vorablc, look for crop of 100000 to
100000 hogsheads, and at prices that
are likely to rule next winter--in view
of the revolution in Cuba-they will be
worth double the number to us.
