u We have had continued rains the
whole of the past week, except on last
Saturday, which held up for the benefit
of the races. The whole country is
flooded from these rains and terrible is
the damage to the crops. Again we
fear the worst for the corn and cotton
of the Parish, and even the cane is now
suffering, though in fair condition.

Don PIATT's CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY. - We are delighted to
note the popularity of our nomination
of Captain Jack for President and
Shacknasty Jim for Vice. The Louis
vile Courier-Journal, captieus, I'M
reasonable sheet, objects on the ground
that Captain Jack, don't run we'll. If
the independent press is going to act
in this absurd manner we will have to
create a vacancy by retiring from its
ranks. Captain Jack has all the ele-
ments necessary for popular candi-
date. He is course, brutal ignorant
and vicious. There is no discount on
his pluck, while his hands are stained
with blood shed directly by himself
and not by proxy. We do not know
as to his family, but doubt not that it
is extensive and sapable. He will
make first-c class soldier President il
he escapes casualty and scalping. II
would be bad to have a President who
had beer scalped, although we have
had several who ought to have been

The Crops.

With the continued rains the pros
poets of the growing crop in Rapides
are by no means fiattering. There has
been entirely too much rain for the
good of the young cotton. The corn
fields are full of grass, and unless the
rain should cease soon there will hardly
be a half crop made.
And thus it is every year. The plan
ters have to undergo the annoyance of
of the uncertainty of the seasons from
the moment the seed is consigned to
the ground until tile harvest in the
fall. Too much rain, too much dry
weather, caterpillars and other mis-
haps are the burden of their song and
the cause of their distress from one
years end to the other.
And yet the remedy is in their own
hands. We have time and again adj
vised them to diversity their occupa-
tons, and yet, when the time comes to
plant, they generally wind up by plant
ing the same area of cotton, with its
attendant harassing cares and most
general failure to meet expectations.
The Pine Woods streams never fail.
They afford abundant water power to
turn all the mills that could be put in
them. Why are not cotton and wool
en- manufactures set on foot7 If they
pay in Massachusetts why cannot they
be made to pay in sight Of the cotton
felds7
Grass never fails, and, with our fine
soil, improved grasses could be cult
waited on every acre Of open land in
the Parish. Stock Of better quality
than is raised in Texas could be raised
all over the Parish and command high
er prices in the New Orleans Market
Texas stock raisers make fortunes. Is
there any reason why the same tnlne
can not be done in Louisiana
But it is hard to get our people to
wake up to a change of ideas. Their
fathers planted corn and cane, and sc
must they. They cannot realize the
change. The labor system has radi'
cally changed, and change has taken
place from an, honest government te
one of thieves and plunderers. But
unless the people do change they are
{ irretrieveably ruined.

Federal Government to reinforce the
fort it had promised to evacuate, and
surprise Charleston with an armed fleet
precipitated the reluctant sections into
war; and when MIR. Lincoln forced up
on her the choice between fighting for
Southern freedom and State rights, or
Northern ascendency and Federal des-
positism, did she throw in her lot with
the Coufederates. Slavery, then, was
not her determining motive. Slavery
makes no appearance in the private
letters of the men who, one after an
other, went with their States. It is
remarkable fact, that while scores of
leading Northern men denounced the
war, not a lsingle southerner of high
character, education and influence, de-
serted the cause of the South. They
universally held that their allegiance
was due to their native States; and on
that ground alone they threw up ca
reer, fortune, fame and placed;them-
selves at the disposal OF those who
claimed their :fealty., 1t is absurd to
call such men rebels; they, were loyal
