WEATHER. BUSINESS ETC.-Ihe weather
sui continues on its rampage, and promises
to continue so for several days to come, or
at least until the change of the moon.
Business is dull, and very dull at that;
and the weather has bad effect on it, for
it is SO changeable that it is anything but
pleasant to be doing business in such
weather. All classes are affected by it,,
more or less, but the steamboatmen suffer
the most, as they can do nothing during
such constant and incessant rains as we had
yesterday. Nearly all the loading steamers
had to lay over on account of the rain pre-
venting goods, ETC., being hauled to them.
The river marks remain unchanged.
Freight rates in Red river remain stiff at
yesterdays reports, and merchants and
shippers will Re wise if they avail them
selves of these rates, for if Old Red con-
tinues falling as it has been for the last
few days, we would not be astonished, be
fore the week is out, to find the rates adj
vanced to full two or three card rates to all
points
The arrivals yesterday were the Belle Ida
from the lower coast, Flicker from La
fourche, st. John from Baton Rouge, Ruth
from OpelOusas, Bertha from Camden, Mary
Miller from Louisville, and Hesper from
Retirement.
The departures were the Trenton for Ope-
lousas, and the Governor Allen for Vicks-
burg.
We call especial attention to the fact
thai, owing to the rain, yesterday, the c.
H. Durfee was unable to get of for Jetfer-
son, but will leave positively this morning,
at eleven o'clock Passengers and shippers
will govern themselves accordingly.

lively this morning at eleven o'clock for

strong inducements to passengers and ship

Charges Against the Military.

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE Sioux City
Tines of the ninth publishes an anonymous
letter. addressed to General Hancock,
charging Messrs Peck & Dorfee, who have
charge of all the trading posts on the
upper Mississippi, with gross frauds, and
also abusing the rights and privileges given
them by the government. The writer says
they have induced General Stanley district
commander, to issue a general order pro-
hibiting citizens or soldiers from purchasing
goods in that department from any one ex-
cept the post sutler. 1t is also claimed that
they have refused to carry to certain ports
on their line of boats, notwithstanding they
are common carriers, all packages which
they believe contain provisions or clothing.
This, the writer claims. is all done with the
countenance and connivsnce of the military
authorities.

A Rich Joke.
from the Lafourche Times.

From the Laf0urcne llmes.l
When Carter. the ex-preacher, ex-con-
federate, rebel turn-coat, and Mudgett re-
commended the public printing to be taken
from the New Orleans REPUBLICAN and
given to the copperhead Citizens Guard,
they performed rich joke on themselves,
which will be better appreciated in the
North than here at home.
The New Orleans REPUBLICAN is the first
newspaper in Louisiana, has the largest civ
culation, and is looked upon as the leading
newspaper in the Southern States.
Its editors are among the best educated
gentlemen in the State, and its able corps of
correspondents comprises all the leading
Republicans of the Southwestern States.
To take the public printing away from the
acknowledged first class newspaper in the
South, and give it to ''shoo fly addle-
Drained thing like the Customhouse Guard,
is decidedly rich Joke.

The pIexandria DeD,ocrot saws.

The weather continues warm and bright,
with frequent showers in different localities.
We still hear caterpillar talk, but must adj
nit that so far they have shown themselves
only in certain localities, and are doing no
harm. The second crop of these cotton de-
vourers are the ones who do the harm We
hardly believe they can do much harm be-
fore the fifth of next month. By that time
more than a half crop will be secure from
damage. We hear of the hollis opening
briskiy in some localities. The cane con-
tinues to improve and make.

A special to the st. Louis Republican

A special to the st. Louis Republican
says:
The new Commissioner of Internal
Revenue is making very short work of
several of the appointments made by Cen
eral Pleasonton, on the ground that there
was no reason whatever for their appoint
ments. And it appears agreeable to the
feelings of the Secretary of the Treasury
that as much of Pleasonton's work, during
his comparatively short official tenure, is to
be undone as is possible. In the meantime
the evidences exist that the ex-commis-
sioner does not intend to rest quietly under
his decapitation, but that he will make a
lively fight when Congress cOnvenes again
against the confirmation of Douglass.

The Opelousas Journal saws:

Mr.. Thomas Fl. Reynolds, one of our par
ishoners, young man, left here last Sun
day to go to Warren county, Illinois, where
he has half interest, by inheritance, in
about $4,000 acres of land.l Owing to the
war and other causes, his interest in these
lands was neglected, and they were sold for
taxes. But it seems the purchasers, in
order to make themselves doubly secure,
are willing to pay something to the heirs to
have their titles confirmed.

This is from the Opelousas Journal.

We are informed by resident of that
section that two bales Of cotton, this years
crep, have been picked, ginned and packed
on Mr. Orsamus Hayes plantation at
Plaquemine Brulee. The packing or bail
ing was done on the third instant. We un-
derstand that this was the result of plant
ing good seed-that is the seed of good
variety of cotton-and thorough cultiva-
ton. 1t will be profitable for others to fol-
low Mr.. Hayes example.
