9@- There never has been, within
our recollection, such a fine Fall in
Louisiana, both for health and gath
ering crops. There has been little Or
no sickness in the country, while by
far the larger portion Of the cotton
which has been picked has not had
drop of rain upon it. We have had
no heavy winds, or beating rains, and
as consequence there has not been so
far, loss Of ten pounds of scotton per
acre. This, in q great measure, &C
counts for the unexpected yield per
acre, which on the river lands ranges
from 1000 pounds seed cotton to one
and half bales per acre.
Nag A freedman was found dead
last week In the Bayou DeSiard near
the portch place. Another freedman
as arrested on suspicion OF having
killed him, and finally confessed the
killing, but says ii was done in self
defense, in proof Of which he produced
a pistol beloning to the murdered man
with which be declares he was assailed.
A freedwoman seems to have been the
innocent cause of the trouble. The
special organ of the negroes publishes
this occurrence as brutal murder
when the editor knows no moro Of the
facts than the man in the moon.
