FROM Down THE CoAsT.-The Plaque
mines Sentinel, of Saturday, says: We are
gratitied to announce that all the crevasses
which occurred in this parish during the
recent high stage of water are now sub
stantially closed, and that the districts in
undated are rapidly becoming tillable. AL
ready on many Of the rice farms which
were overtiown the work of blowing and
sowing has been recommended.
1t is estimated that the cost of the closing
of the Verbois crevasse VIII amount to
$4,000. The money, we learn, was fur
nished by Mr.. John Dymond, of Belle Air
plantation; Capt. S. W. Sawyer, of Lin
wood; Mr.. II. p. Kernochan of Scarslale :;
and Mr.. Geo. Carr, of st. Claire.
Crops.-The weather of the entire past
week has been altogether favorable for the
growing crops and plantation Labor The
cane which has escaped the overtIows is
looking well. The same can be said of tile.
rice and corn. With Continuance of
weather SO seasonable, the crop outlook in
Plaquemiues parish will agan be encour-
aging.

We clip the following from New Orleans
paper, and hope. every business man in the
Mississippi Valley will read it:

captains and contractors will please take
notice that this association will hold meel-
ing and have a grand parade in the early
part Of next May, for the purpose of arrang
ing the price of labor on the levee. No Ia
borer will be allowed to work for any con-
tractor or captains of steamboats, or ships,
hours work in the day. All 'longshore So

to attend this parade. Notice will be given
in this paper when the parade will come off.

Mark the language employed above.
/" No laborer will be allowed to work." etc.
So long as the city of New Orleans permits
associations to dictate to commerce tho
terms upon which it may peacefully 20 for
ward, inst SO long will New Orleans con-
tinue to decline, rather than to advance.
If people choose to come to New Orleans
and work there at any manner Of employ
ment at even 81 per day, that is q personal
right they have under the Constitution of
the United States, and New Orleans should
protect them in the exercise of it. Instead
of this, we notice that one Capt. Cain, the
master of the British bark Circassian, has
been arrested for permitting his own men
to work in loading his vessel.
Capt Cain has decided to defend himself
before the court, and settle the question
whether the regulations Of the 'lonxshore-
mel, are more powerful than the general
laws of nations respecting commerce. If
New Orleans ever expects to become city

A correspondent Of the COarier-JOurnal,
writing from Elizabethtown, in that State,
Oh the 18th April, says:
3" There recently died at this place man
who called himself E. +. Overdeer. He had
the appearance of being about sixty years
of age. He said he was born in Baltimore
Md, lived for Il while at New Orleans, where
he said he accumulated some wealth; he
then moved to Jackson, Miss. and engaged
in the mercantile business. He represented
himself as having been a major IN the Con-
federate army, and thai he commanded a
battalion at the battle Of Shiloh His men
being dressed in blue were fred upon by the
Contederates, installing them for Federals,
and twenty-one of his men killed. He spoke

three independent battalions-to wit: The
Gardes DOrleans, commanded by Major
Queronze, the Confederate Guards, by Major
F. H. Clack, formerly of Virginia, and the
I'd Florida, Major Bird, who now sleeps his
last sleep in Hollywood. OF these the
Gardes DOrleans answers very fully the
above description, as they were uniformed
in blue, and were fired into with disastrous
effect by the Fourth Louisiana, who mis-
took them for Federal troops.
After that they turned their coats wrong
side out to dist lguish them from the
enemy. The Washington Artillery, also
wore blue. and their officers had shoulder

them forward in an irresistible onslaught
upon the enemy. Early in the action Major
Querouze was wounded, and had to retire
from the field, when volunteer officer
known as Major DumOnteil, who had seen
service in France, and was a splendid sold
Ter, took command of the battalion and led
it with distinguished gallantry throughout
the remainder of the battle.
The fact that this corps answers the above
description, and was the only one on the
field that at all suits it in the matter of the
blue uniform, leads to the inference that the
unknown stranger must either have been

EVery merchant, manufacturer
or business man WhO has become
prominently rich, has made his
fortune By judicious ADVERTISING,
No exception 10 this rule can be
cited! Stewart, The Prince of
Merchants, when a poor man, Was
driven TO advertising, as a last
resort, TO get his stock turned into
money so as 10 meet a note. Ar.
guing from this that if IL was
good for him in Adversely, he
could make ii still better IN pros
perity, he became Il persistent ad
vertiser, and thus gained his CO.
lossal fortune.
Some merchants say it is not worth
while 20 advertise; for no person reads
advertisements; yet every merchant in
this county will read this ADVERTISE
ment, and if he is wise he will profit
by its suggestion, if he has anything to
offer worth advertising. How much
more then will those read them who
are not so largely supplied with reads
ing matter, are at leisure in the even>
ing, and must depend ON their paper for
their local news, the most Important
item Of which is where they can find
just what they want when they come to
town to make their purchases. lfyoul
stock is so old, rusty, dusty and out of
style that it is worthless, or if it lie run
down so that you have nothing left that
people would want, it is not worth
while for you to advertise. But if it is
new, fresh and sparkling, up to the
times, and such as the people want,
don't hide them, but publish to the
world that you have them, and want
to sell them at a fair price.
