the future prosperity Of New Or

Gun MA1Ls.-Under the new let
ting Of our New Orleans mail, which
commenced or pretended to COM
mence operations on the LIST Of this
month, we have relapsed into barba-
rism's arms, and are in q state that
simply amounts to chaos and to con-
fusion d-n badly COMPOUNDED. The
contract has been awarded to 3 Mr..
Parker, no doubt kinsman Of Post
master Parker Of New, Orleans, for
the sum Of $4,000. Parker the con-
tractor, expects to make around sum
outsof it for himself at home, and get
it carried to Vicksburg by the for
mer line steamers for q tribe that
is they to perform the labor and the
service, and he to pocket the green
backs. But the Lee, Natchez and
Pargoud can't see it again and are
unwilling to work for nothing for
other peoples benefits; hence they
refuse to take the mails as Of old and
hence we here, are the sufferers, the
bad and crippled sufferers. And
what can be done in the matter other
than grin and bear as we have borne
all such Internal evils. For the pre-
sent we see no other remedy and will
have to catch papers and news on the
wing, and continue our. weekly Cos
sip with our readers as best we can.

The CRoPs.-The weather has
surely been propitious and perfect
for the crops Of our Parish, during
the whole Of the past week, and we
again indorse our previous formed
and expressed opinion Of them.
The growing sentiments Of croakera
and old fogies to the contrary, we as.
sert that never in the past five years
have the crops Of this Parish, on ar
average, presented a better, finer OF
cleaner appearance, nor have the Ia
borers ever. done SO well in their lin,
since, Lincoln's freedom proclama
ton. In making these pleasurabl,
assertions we know we are treadint
on forbidden ground, held sacred b,
our old fogies, who think the situa
ton Of the crops should be made aw
fully bad and kept bad, in order tx
lendeavor to deceive those who intent
purchasing them when in market
but all such nonsense is badly play
ed, and we can't allow it to humbu,
US any longer, and thus strive =
make dupes of those who can't b
duped by fogydom. We repeat on
crops are good, very good, and BIZ
fair to be rcmunerative and well pay
ing, to parties all around.

i TAxEs.-H. T. Burgess, the Stat
Tax Collector, went to New Orlean
on last Wednesday and returned HON
on Monday. His trip, though
short one, was purely 3 business on
to settle up what is called his qua1
terly payment. This he did-an
taxpayers here must not suppose b
, cause he has not to take another sue
trip before October, that he will rela
in his future collections-the yer
Opposite is the case, for he has mo!
positive instructions, which he m,l
t obey, to force things according to Il
J very letter Of his last official circuls
eli And we must say, and say it more
d business sorrow than in interests
+ anger, that this must be done, will
