Last evening il seemed as if old ocean
had crawled up the heavens and let all
hold 20 and come upon u.s. The farmers
are disheartened on account Of the mis-
cradle weather. The ground will not
do to piow for q week yet, even II IL
rains no more. Out Of the black gloom
We see nut one cheering sign, and
that Is, the farmers will prob
ably be prevented from planting
40 much cotton, and consequently
forced 10 plant more grain. Ii seems
that the whole planting population have
devotion 10 "king cotton" which no
human reason can sever and only proyi-
dental interference can change. EXpe-
Tience, crowded with stubborn facts,
shows c0nclusively that the planting OF
more grain aud less cotton Is the exit
nom the fearful embarrsssments that
surround and imprisOn 50 many honest
labOTers, pressing upon them like
foul incubus.n A change must come

about cotton, OE bankruptcy and ins0l-

beyond reasonable calculation, yet such
is really the case. In the cotton regions
it is now ascertained that nine of the
largest and richest parishes producing
cotton have been inundated. The par

Madison, Franklin, Tensas, Caldwell,
Concordia, and Catahoula, are all over

The amount of cotton land In these par
ishes in actual cultivation is ascertained
to be 2,050, 600 acres, besides 100000 acres
in corn. These estimates include only
large places, leaving out hundreds of
small farmers and all estimates of cattle,

these nine parishes is 20,394 whites and

the respect of all nations. No matter
what may be charged against Others, It
has not been aud cannot be charged
against Governor Fish that he has ex-
hibited any party asperity or sectional
hatred in the discharge of his official
duty. It Is 8 fortunate thing for the
southern people that Governor Fish was
selected by General Grant for the nrst
place in his cabinet. And the selection
Of Governor Fish for thai position by
General Grant is conclusive evidence
that General Grant himself has kindly
and cODciliatoTy feelings toward the
people of the south. The writer Of this
knows that Governor Fish has ever felt
the kindest feeling for the southern peO-
pie. He has never shown any sectional
bit -erness toward them. Although firm
and decided in his views, and devOtedly
attached to the Union, he advocated
the prosecution Of the war to prevent
the dismemberment Of the Union, more
in sorrow than in anger. He now
