We received sixty-three eommunica-
tions yesterday, from as many citizens
OF New Orleans, opposing delay In the
election OF Senator. As the Legisla-
ture has now determined upon the
policy of postponement, the. publication
Of these communications. or any OF
them, would not serve the views Of the
writer, and would now thwart the chief
object we have in view--that Is, the har-
monious action OF all branches of the
government and the people. We be-
lieved that 1t was best to elect without
delay; but, since our representatives,
who doubtless have more information
than we possess, have decided different

them our unfaltering support.

There ID something extremely curious
In the crops Of the east and west banks
Of the Mississippi. It has been noticed
for some time past that these.two banks
enjoyed apparently wholly different
weathers and climates. that q frost on
one side Of the river very seldom tray
eled across It; that while the right bank
might be enjoying q rain. the left was
just az apt to be suffering from drouth !.
and, In fact, that the thousand yards OF
the Mississippi produced the same eff
feet. az far "a climate and weather We're
concerned. aa thousand miles OF
ocean. The last few years have shown
u wonderful difference in the sugar
crops OF the plantations on the east and
west banks of the river, and greatly In
favor of the latter, difference that Is
increasing each year. For instance.
the crop of the west bank plantations
this year was &c. 5A hogsheads to 81 ,ooi
hogsheads produced by east bank plan
tations, showing that the former are 81
per cent more productive than the lat.
ter.
There was time. and not long ago
when this was different. As compared
even with the crop OF 1876 70, the increase
In the production plantations on the west
eide OF the Mississippi was % per cent
that on the east side plantations only
per cent. The latter enjoyed much the
better weather, the past season which
explains the difference. It Is certain
ly queer, another version OF west
ward the course OF Empire takes LII
way" Meteorologists and planters
will, probably in time, understand tn,
true greatness and Importance OF ou
Mother Mississippi, and explain, per
haps, how the plantations on one sid
Of the river raise 10000 more hogshead
than the same number OF acres on tn
other side.

Finding New orleans..a good retreat for

all:

A recent Washington letter says :
"The young daughters Of the
Thornton family are described as
tall and slender, with sweet but
rather plain faces, and compilations
of that sallow paleness supposed to
be unknown TO consumers of the
roast beef and plum pudding Of
England. They dress with the
greatest plainness, their abundant
light hair braided and tied with
ribbons, their dresses rather short
and free from unnatural expansion,
and their shoes, which are not at
all diminutive, have soles thicker
than any American shoemaker
would dare to make. The miles
that they walk, ride, or ''pqll on
the river" are an unldiling source
of as.onishment to young ladies
whose only miles arc danced out on
waxed floors. In summer or win
ter, rain, snow or slush, they are
out. taking their exercise, accompa-
MED by their father or gayerncss.
AT concerts, opera, or the thcater,
Lady Thornton comes IN brave with
silk, laceS and jewels; behind are
the daughters, with their goyerness,
dressed just as plainly as when ont
for a walk, in their long beaver
cloth sacquos and plain broad
brimmed felt hats down over their
eyes"
