A Letter from Louisiana.

BATON ROYCE. March 4, 1871.
EDS. JoURNAL:-It has long been in
my mind to write communication for
your valuable paper, but the fear of in
truding has heretofore deferred me. At
last, however, | have concluded to launch
INV bark on the pillows of literature.
The winter weather in this region is
remarkably beautiful, clear, bri : ht aud
full Of sunshine, aud the south wind al
ways soft and genial. | doubt not it
would delight the eyes and gladden. the
hearts Of ice bound northernefs could
they visit this section now and witness
peach, plum fg, and various other kinds
of fruit trees in full blossom. As write
innuperable roses, violets and sweet oil
ives Gil the air with their delicious per
fume.
a short time since was pleased to
meet G. L. Barnes, Esq, of your city,
and accompany him on a hasty trip to
the Crescent City. Getting aboard the
magnificent steamer CITY Of Quincy,
Capt. Judd I. West, we left Baton Rouge
and were soon gliding down the Father
of Waters. Beautiful scenery greets
the vision everywhere. The river banks
are bordered with rich plantations, con-
tanning costly mansions, orange groves
laden with golden fruit, and all the evi
dences of peace aud prosperity. Every
thiug-country, climate and all-exceed
my wildes: imaginings. While of course
Tue late war was derrogatory to the de-
vel opment and growth of this region
yet we are now rapidly recovering from
its DISASTROUS effects, and thrift and en-
terprise are apparent on every hand.
Fruit growing. one Of the most peace.
ful and happy employments of man, is
becoming matter of earnest considera
ton with the people here.
Ii is well known that winter is the
most delightful season in New Orleans.
Extra wrappings are scarcely ever neces-
snrv, and one stands in no more fear of i'll
health than at the north. Tropical fruits
and vegetables are comnon and cheap
most beyond conception of those who
have never visited the south.
By the way, l. wish to suggest mat
ter to your people: 1t is an excursion
to the sunny south. Such an undertake
ing could be easily carried ont by those
who SO desire. The Northwestern Com
pany now have line of boats from New
Orleans to ST. Paul. and arrangements
for an excursion could be perfected with
but comparative little trouble and ex-
pense. Mr.. C. L. Barnes, agent. at
Prescott, could give all necessary infor-
nation. Were such a thing to be done, l
could bespeak for the party most pleas
ant aud agreeable journey,
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH II. BARNES.

has presented a solid republican 'front.'
