THE RAFT AGA1N.-We gratifed to learn that
an effort will be made to get an appropriation from
Congress for the purpose of removing the raft 1t is
to be hoped that Mr.. Kellogg who has heretofore ex-
erted himself with commendabe zeal for the good of
his constituency, and to whom Hebert," the Plea
yune's Washington correspondent, must have alluded
when he spoke of exception to those members of
Congress who ever make their own interest paramount
to that of the people, will turn his attention to this
subject, certainly worthy OF any mans ambition
The immense saving in freights and insurance, and
the vast amount of the most productive land in the
world that would be reclaimed from overflow and
opened up to settlement by removal of this obstruc-
ton and the clearing out of the river generally from
Alexandria to the head of navigation, would almost
starte the mind. The man who should be instru
mental in the accomplishment of enterprise SO grand
would deserve infinitely more of his countrymen and
of posterty than all the socalled distinguished polt
clans this country has produced.

Crops OF THE SogrH-From every portion of the
South there the fattering accounts of the
cotton crop Not only is the plant represented to be
in most thriving condition, but in many States the
devoted to is largely in excess of that of
last year. In Georgia. while the corn crop will be cut
short BY long drouth, rains fell in ample time for the
cotton. We hear more complaints of the grass in this
portion of the country, and especially in the Red river
valley, than anywhere else.
So, should the caterpillar not make its appearance
our planters had we'll prepare their minds for less
remuneratve price for their than they received
for the last crop And in many localities much
higher price will have to be paid for corn, though the
prospects for good crop rather a.tering in
this locality.

not for the life of US, get up internal excitement
such the following, which is taken at random
from long account of the game republished by the
New Orleans Times from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Fourth Inning-Harry perishes at Halls hands by
fly to centre, and Leonard emuates him by foul
caught by Z4tein. Branard whitewashes his side by
giving Ferguson foulhy.
Here we see, Harry perishes at Halls hands, who
shows of conscience whatever for the deed
Leonard emuates Harry and also pershes the hands
of the bloody minded Hail. and finally, to cap the eli
max, fellow performs the remarkable feat of white
washing his side by a foul proceeding. All this is
mighty funny, doubtless, to those who like it, and we
reckon would have amused US when we were four or
six years old

in that we are very little behind) far her supe

While we have at various times spoken in terms of

Assessor Flood had been treated here-asserting that
he had received letter from the so called Ku Klux-
an organization which only has existence in the dis,
essed imaginatons of SC azngs and carpet baggers-
representing suspended by the neck and in.
timati"g that this was warning of what he might
pect and also asserting that the windows of his house
had been smashed, his family insuted, &c; all of
which outrages forced Flood make precipitate re-
treat to New OIleans We say we did not believe
this and because Southerners are not given to sssas
sinations else Beast Butler would be alive to day
to disgrace the country-his own State he could not
further disgrace.

that this letter written, but by of Floods
