The President will not interfere
with affairs in Petersburg, Virginia.
The Attorney General has forwarded
the following telegram to the United
States Marshall at that place
You are instructed to take the
necessary steps to protect the prop
erty of the United States from in
jury, and the officers Of the govern
ment in Petersburg from any violent
interference with them in the per-
Torrance of their official duties. To
that end, if you think proper, you
may summon a posse of the citizens
to aid you; but if these men are found
inadequate for the purpose, you will
be furnished, upon call by you up
on me, with troops from fortress
Monroe.
1t is desirable not to use troops, il

Attention, Advertisers.-Having
Withdrawn from the Louisiana Press Asso-
citation, We are no longer bound by the ad-
vertising rates adopted by that body, and it
win be seen by reference to the table above
that we have made great reduction from the
prices heretofore demanded for the publica-
tien of advertisements in the CHIEF. In con-
alteration Of this Reduction we call upon the
business men of this and neighboring commu-
mites and advertising agents throughout the
country generally to bestow portion of
their patronage upon us, assuring them that
they viii ind the investment n paying one.

ALERT.

We clip the following from the
Baton Rouge Adrocate of the 18th
inst:
In those portions of the coast par
ishes that escaped overflow, the cane,
both plant and stubble, is growing
finely. The long drought and the re-
striction of the area under cultivation,
has enabled planters to cultivate
their cane thoroughly. Those por-
tions of the plantations emerging
from the waters, are planted with
corn and peas, and in some instances
cotton. The scattered cane that sur
vived the overflow will amount to
more than was at first expected, but
pom the whole will not plant one
tenth of the ground it stands upon.
In some instances where the fields in
undated were never free from cur
rents, keeping the water cool, and in
Others where back leyees were thrown
up and the water pumped off, the
cane is still alive, and will pay to cul-
tivate.
The first planting of corn upon high
land and low land will not produce
much, heavy rains and the succeeding
drought kept back its growth. But
a very large quantity Of land has
been planted i'll late corn which is
growing well.
Cotton on the highlands is all right,
the plant growing vigorously. Be-
hind the levees it is generally stunted
and small.
