New Settlers Coming.

Fiery few days we hear of some new
corners buying improved places in St.
Landry, and thus repairing the waste of
war in this beautiful country. 1t is now
becoming difficult to purchase improved
plantations, and they are daily a~ngmcnting
in value. But we have thousands of acres
Of uHcnltivatcd lands, open pralrlcs a~djacent
to forests, which may be purchased at the
most moderate rates These lie west and
southwest of the town of Opclousas. They
are generally purchased by men Of limited
means. for small farms. We learn that,
under the provisions of the United States
Homestead Act, passed in 1862, some
twenty or more families have purchased
homes in the Southwestern portion of the
parish, about thirty mil S from OpelonsaS,
in the neighborhood of Webbs Sawmill,
near the bayou Plaqueminc Brulec. Pnr-
chaSes under the Homestead law are limit
ed to 100 acres. Some of this little colony
have already commenced the work Of i'm
provcment, and the others will follow by
the beginning Of the new year.
These lands have not heretofore been in
demand, because they have not the depth
of soil found in more favored parts of the
parish, and because of their remotenesS
from availabl. markets. But the latter Oh
lection will soon be obviatcl, as they are
on and near the projected line Of the Chat
tanoosa railroad. As to the former ohjec-
ton, these lands arc far from being poor.
They are always p oductive for the tir~t
few years, and may be Ike; 50 by judicious
culture. They viii simply require NOR"
care than other lands of greater depth.
They are fine natural meadow, and furnish
excellent pasturage. They will furnish
comfortable and salubrious homes to our
new citizens, who will find them available
for the purposes of stock, gardens, orchards
and vineyards, with the advantages, at an
carly period. of an open highway to the
markets of Louisiana and Texas. The soil
on these lands is sufficiently unlulating for
all the purposes of thorough drainage
They are Car above overflow, and are found
by actual levels, started from Baton Rouge,
to be 80 feet more elevated then the highest
overflow of the Mississippi. Lying, near
the Gulf, they are famed by the daily
sea breezos in the summer, which cont,i-
butte to the healthfulnes>, and temper the
climate, of this region.

English Comments on the RotGl
SUeCie PAYMENTS.

Tie .ShippU"q Gu=rtte says: 1.-The rrt"nn
of specie pay nrIltS in the United States
could soon be affected. None Of the debt
or class would suffer >y it. The South
is generally we'll supplied with cash, ami
the Southern buyers are the main.stay Of
the Northern market; they usually pur-
cl'a~e with gold and they cave tHcir crops
behind them. The South now raises gram
fer her own requirements, aud is in 4 posi-
ton to lcSume specie payment. When
