Irvine lovely wreaths to deck the honored graves
Where sleep the ashes of our noble dead;
"reathe the dark laurels, green as ocean waves
With reverence place them DER each patriot head
Bring our loved ensign, DER them let it wave,
The dear "old flag" beneath whose folds they
fell;
Long may the nation live they died to save,
Bright be their memory who died SO well,
For the dear sacrifice so freely given,
Here let the nation bow itself and weep;
Gently let falling tears, like dews of heaven,
water each mound where our brave patriots
sleep.
Place white tablet DER each noble breast
And let their glowing record there be found;
This be our Mecca where our soldiers rest;
Shield We from impious hands each sacred
mound
But not alone to him Of high renown
Shall peans rise and words OF praise be given
Bring brightest laurels for the dead "unknown,"
Whose records, lost to earth are bright in heaven.
The solumn minutegun the warriors knell,
For them is booming over land and sea,
While DER their graves the winds, that sgh and
swell,
Their soft and mourniul requiem shall be.
Rest, savior patriots, in your narrow beds,
While all about you Natures voices ring;
Far brighter crowns await your noble heads,
Than the sweet tributes which we hither bring

THE CROPS IN ASCENSION.

Encouraging Prospect for Sugar Plant
ers-" The Best Cane Since the War;
Cotton and Corn Backward.
The favorable weather which has
prevailed here of late has wrought a
wonderful and encouraging change in
the crop prospects of our sugar plant
ers, and the visions of dark future
which appeared before them have
been dispelled by the sunshine of ap-
preaching plenty. The plant cane
everywhere throughout the parish is
making splendid show, and even the
stubble, which has been SO backward,
displays marked improvement.
DR.. J. c. Legare brags upon cane
with nine and ten red joints, while
the Messrs. Mccall Bros, Richard Nc
Call, Gen. Allen Thomas, DR.. E. and
H. L. Duffel, Edmond BJol, Seymour
e. Co., John Reuss and DR.. w. H.
Ballard have equally fine stands.
Below Donaldsonville, on the river,
excellent stands of cane are notice
able upon the places Of Messrs. Bou-
ligny, Lemann & Hanson, E. Gaudin,
Jno. S. Wallis, Jacob Bros. and Jas.
Teller. Down the Bayou Lafourche,
Messrs. Jas. 7. Nolan and Jacob Lem
ann have excellent crops, while upon
Mr.. Miles Taylor's St. Emma place is
a stand of cane that it would be hard
to excel. A larger yield of sugar is
expected from this place the present
year that has been afforded any sea-
son since the war.
While taking a jaunt up the river,
on the left bank, this week, we took
advantage Of an invitation from the
gentlemanly manager to ride through
Mr.. Duncan F. Kenner's splendid
Ashland and Bowden plantations, and
found the plant cane fully equal to
any we have seen in the parish, and,
as the manager termed it, I" the best
since the war" Stalks with eleven
red Joints are to be found on Bowden
and Ashland. The sugar-maker on
the Bowden place offers to wager that
from two hundred and twenty acres
of cane upon that plantation four hun
dred hogsheads of sugar will be re-
allied. Upon Mr.. John Burnside's

The list Of delinquent parish tax
payers has been published by the
Leader, and the Parish Attorney an
nounces that unless all parties pay up
their dues within thirty days they will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent Of
the law. The delinquents of Assem-
sion parish have been very derelict in
allowing themselves to neglect the
payment Of their back taxes, and
perhaps the day is not far distant
when they will deeply regret not hay
ing taken the advice of the CHIEF and
discharged all dues to State and par
ish. In the parishes of St. James and
st. John the Baptist, we are informed,
there are not half a dozen names upon
the delinquent lists, while here there
are several hundred. This is very
much to the discredit of our people,
who certainly have as many facilities
for paying their taxes as their neigh
bors of St. James and St. John, limit
ed though the means of III any I'M
doubtedly are.

DEATH OF LOUIS K. FERR1ER.-At
an early hour last Sunday morning,
Louis X. Terrier, son Of Jos. L. Fer
rier and E. Icard, departed this life
at the age of 81 years. Deceased had
been suffering for several months with
tumor on the neck, and death was
a release from life of incessant bod
lily pain. The young man had been
a resident of Donaldsonville for five
or six years, and was well known to
nearly every inhabitant of the town.
The funeral took place Monday morn
ing, from the residence of deceased's
father, and was largely attended by
the friends and relatives of the young
man and his family. The Silver Cor
net Band accompanied the procession
to the grave, playing beautiful dirges
they had learned for the occasion.
The scene at the grave was very af
fecting, the sobs Of the female mourn
ers touching the hearts Of all present
and especially heartrending was the
poignant grief Of the young lady to
whom the deceased had been be-
trothed. The sympathy of all was
with her, and we doubt not many a
silent prayer was uttered that the
blight which had fallen upon her
young life might soon be eradicated
by the healing hand Of time. Young
Terrier died universally regretted, as
he possessed warm heart and many
fine qualities, and made friends whcr-
ever he went. May he rest in peace.

Mr.. Charles F. Smith, Mayor of the
town, arrived in town last Tuesday
morning, and at once proceeded to
the Court House, where he furnished
bond in the sum Of four thousand dol
lars to appear before District Judge
Flagg to answer the charge of embez-
element preferred against him by the
President of the Police Jury. Judge
Flagg has been sent for, and will ar
rive hero Monday to examine this
case in chambers. Mr.. Smith declares
his readiness to settle with the par
ish for the amount he is in arrears,
but of course he very properly main
tains that $4,000 is about ten times
the sum due.

FA1R!- Fair fo- the benefit of
the NJ. E. Church of this town is at
last positively announced to take
place next month, commencing Tues
day, August 18th, and continuing
three days. Preparations for the oc-
casion will be made upon an extensive
scale, and we hope and believe the
affair will prove a complete success.
The grounds selected for the enter
tainment, we understand, are those
originally intended for market place,
being the vacant space on Lafourche
street, adjoining the Bayou levee,
between Attakapas and Opelousas
streets.

six fine places the prospect is not less
encouraging, while Messrs. NJ. D..
Bringier g. Co. and Ben. Tureaud e.
Co. have no cause to complain Of the
lookout.
The corn crop is poor, and scarcely
more than half the average yield can
he expected on most Of the planta-
tions. Exceptionally good stands are
to be found upon the places of the
Messrs. Jacob Bros. and Gen. Thorn
as. Upon the old Linwood planta-
ton, which is rented in small tracts
by colored laborers, there are some
excellent patches of corn, that will
yield from thirty to forty bushels to
the acre.
There are also some fine tracts of
cotton on Linwood, and the little
planters on the place will do quite
well this year, from present indica-
tions. We are in possession of but
meagre information from the New
River cotton district, but it is certain

bound to have it.
