A Market for Western Produce.

New Orleans is discussing
the cauaes which prevent her
from assuming the CONNER
cial relations she aSpireS to
hold with the great MiSsissip-
pi valley. At her wharfes
sea-going vessels meet the
tonnage Of twenty thousand
miles of navigable rivers
draining an area of one mill
ion five hundred thousand
square miles inhabited by a
population of our own sugar
producing districts and from
her proximity to the West
Indies, feels that she ought to
import the foreign sugars
consumed in the great valley.
Yet in spite of her superior
facilities for distributing i'm
ports to the people Of this re-
gion both by river and by
rail-, it is found that the cities
of the Atlantic seaboard have
reduced her to the fourth rank
as an importer of sugar. One
of the causes assigned for this
is the want ola ship canal that
will admit Of the largest sized
vessel to her harbor. The
government now eXpends sew
eral hundred thousand dollars
a year to keep open an outlet
of from eighteen to twenty
feet deep, and has authorized
a survey and estimate of cost
of the construction of the pro-
posed Fort st. Phillip canal.
But even if congress shall
complete this work at the es-
innate cost Of six millions
there are other,obstacles to be
overcome. There must he
eXchange-return cargceS for
the importing vessels. Balti-
more can sustain a West In
dia trade because she ships a
quantity Of -four adapted to a
tropical climate, and New
Orleans cannot at present
command that sort. New
York and other eastern cities
supply all the othe American
manufactures and merchan
disc consumed in the sugar
producing islands. But the
western produce which New
Orleans mightsupply to Cuba,
Porto Rico, is excluded by the
Spanish duties on provisions,
While the American duty on
Spanish sugar does mol
exceed twenty per cent. and
coffee is admitted free, Spain
imposes a duty of 81 1-2 cents
cents on corn, 81 03 per quin,
tai on hams, 81 SO on bacon,
S4 II on lard, s. 81 bbl. on
flour and Sc y per thousand
on lumber. With corn at the
fuel point in the Upper Miss,
issippi valley, and with an
open waterway to the West
India consumers that need il
greatly, the Western states
are now compelled to send
their corn past Cuba to a Eu.
ropean market, where they
meet in competition the lar.
gest producers of Northern

A Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Whereas The revolution of another year has
again brought the time when it is usual to look
back upon the past. and publicly to thank the
Almighty for His mercies and His blessings;
and,
IThereas Tfany one people has more occa-
sion than another for such thankfulness, it is
the citizens of the United States, whose Gov
ernment is their creature, subject to their be-
hests, who have reserved to themselves ample
civil and religious freedom and equality before
the law; who during the last twelve months
have enjoyed exemption from any grlevous or
general calamity and to whom prosperity in ag-
rriculture, manufactures and commerce has
been vouchsafed; now therefore,
By these consideration, | recommend that
on Thursday, the twenty, eighth day of Novem
Der next, the people meet in their respective
places of worship, and there make their ac,
acknowledgements to God for His kindness and
bounty.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city Of Washington
this eleventh day of October in the year Of
Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Sc.
venty-two, and of the independence of the
United States the nincty-seventh.

SIXTY PERSONS Poisoned Last night
Waterford was the scene of the widest alarm
and the greatest confusion. From the facts
that come to our knowledge, it seems that
Robert Waldron yesterday had manufactured
for his market large lot Of headcheese. AS 1t
was the first of the season. the citizens bought
literally, and many of them partook heartily of
it Yesterday for their evening meal. At about
Q o clock last night the alarm was first given,
the proprietor and inmates Of the Howard
House, one after another, being taken alarm
ingly i'll. Physicians were summoned 10 hot
haste, and FROM that time until morning the
greatest panic prevailed. The poisoned parties
are all doing well, with the exception OF Mrs.
Vanderwerken and Mr.. Howard and daughter,
who are yet very sick. Altogether about sixty
persons were poisoned. 1t is but fair to state
that no blame is attached to Mr.. Waldron. 1t

From Paris we have the announcement OF
most important contribution to the Vienna TX
hibition in the shape ola new method OF SUD-
marine telegraphing, which leads us to expect
thorough transformation of the one now IN
use. The most eminent men of professional
science in the branch, such as Phllhpps'
Spinelli Culigny, Tosseli, and Others have
pronounced favorably upon the subject, and
according to the opinion they have given, the
electrical current will be rendered useless on
long distances by substituting for the cable the
tube of Ferdinand Tommasi, into which water
is introduced and the telegraphing performed
by atmospheric pressure.

CARLorrA's MADNESS. - Correspondence
Of the London Echo. The recent stories of
the Empress Carotta Of Mexico being at the
point Of death were so far from being true that
it now turns out that this unhappy lady is in
the possession Of perfect bodily health. Her
mental malady, however, is worse than ever.
She still remains at the Chateau Of Tervueren
Her madness has degenerated into kind Of
childishuess, but is unaccompanled by any vio
lence such as is generally the case with female
Iunatics. The empress's mind is overcast, dis
daintul and sometimes imperious, but quiet
and gentle, and as nearly all her caprices are
satisfied, she has no reason to feel tormented.
She lives very retired and almost alone in
two rooms Of the chateau, where she takes upon
herself the care of her little house keeping.
The only person she will converse wlth-and to
whom she appears attached, and who has an
influence over hers the learned and cleaver
DIR. H, who is now charged exclusively
with her treatment. She resolves him every
morning for half au hour, is calm after each
of these interviews.

MORE TROUBLE IN ARKANSAs-A dispatch
from Memphis Tenn, says: Serious trouble be-
tween whites and blacks at Osceola, little
town forty miles above here, Oh the Arkansas
shore, which has been brewing for several days
eliminated Wednesday evening in fight in
which one negro was killed and several wounded.
The trouble originated in the killing of Murray,
the sheriff, some six weeks since, by Fitzpatrick,
the county register, and the breaking up of a
conservative meeting last week. as reported at
the time. Fitzpatrick was to have been tried
this week. To prevent the trial coming off it is
believed that he melted the negroes to arm and
surround the town, when the whites in turn
armed and drove them off The officers of the
court and some merchants. with portion Of
their goods, arrived here late last night the
negroes having threatened to return and burn
the town. The greatest excitement prevailed
there. The latest advices from OSceola repre-
sent all quiet. but fears are felt Of another at
tack by negroes on the town
