There are thousands of our inhabi-
tants who, confining their walks abroad
to u few Of the most prominent bou-
levartls of our city, never deign to soil
their shoes with the dust of the hive OF
industry and commerce. To such we
would give the advice to visit the river
front, assuring them that they will now
behold such an immense accumulation
of produce as will astonish them, and
awaken them to an appreciation OF the
vast business capacity Of this great
city. There never has been period
since the war when our levee has been
SO much burdened with freight as at
the present time. On the lower landing
there are thousands OF barrels Of mo-
lasses which, owing to the want of
room, have not been assorted; and we
have heard Of consignments which,
though received four and five days ago,
could not begot at or hauled away.

COST OF COTTON.

Hon. Thos. p. Jones, Commissioner
of Agriculture for the State of Georgia,
lately addressed circular to q large
number of prominent farmers asking
for an estimate of the lowest figures per
pound at which cotton could be pro-
duced by farmers who raise all their
provision supplies at home, and also
the lowest figures at which it could be
produced by those buying all their ba-
con, Hour, etc., and more or less corn.
The circular was answered by near
every person addressed. The general
average made from the information
sent in, showed that it cost the farmer
who raised his home supplies nine cents
and two mills per pound to produce
cotton, while it cost the farmer who
bought his supplies fourteen cents per
pound.
OF course it is understood that these
figures do not represent the actual cost
Of production, but rather the figures at
which the farmer must sell his crop to
save himself from loss.
The conclusion is, that the farmer
who has made an average crop of cot
ton, and produced at the same time q
full supply of corn, fodder or hay,
syrup, potatoes, vegetables, bacon and
lard, etc., and has u stock of hogs and
StSeeAo 4OA ACAt yes@A1 Aoo UOA0 q pkOutSt.
BILE years work and just in proportion
as he has neglected these supplies, his
profits have been less and less until the
opposite extreme is reached, when he
will have lost by his farm operations of
the year. All of which leads to the
conviction that in whatever light it
may be viewed, it is evident that the
true policy is to diversity; to plant
largely of corn, oats, wheat, sugar cane,
potatoes and other crops adapted to our
soil and climate. And this should be
done with a view to direct profit in
themselves, and not as merly subsidiary
to the cotton crop.
The money received for the cotton
produced on a farm, might be made
the measure of the net profits on the
whole farming operations proper. The
general adoption of this policy, would
very largely reduce the aggregate of the
cotton crop for few years but the re-
suiting improved condition of the far
mers-aided by the stimulus of higher
prices-would in a short time enable
| them to supply the increasing demand
! for the staple, without deviating from
u system which has been taught them
by so long and bitter lessons.

THE WORK OF A RAZOR.

We find the following account of q
terrible tragedy in the West Baton
Rouge Sugar Planter:
One of the most dastardly murders
recorded in the annals of our parish
was committed on Christmas night. 1t
appears that two Of our citizens named
respectively Ulysse Delacolle and Dan
OuVrard, both white men, were taking
Il lunch at the store of Aug. Allain,
about six miles above the court house,
when a noted desperado, named Gabriel
Hebert, generally called "Gaboon,"
entered the store and asked for some
thing to drink, which was promptly
furnished him. Soon after he got into
conversation with the two men above
mentioned, which resulted in some
words with Delacolle. Delacoile, not
wishing to have a difficulty in the
store, put him out on the gallery and
closed the doors against him. On re-
turning to the store, he discovered to
his atnazement that he was wounded,
and on examining the place found that
his abdomen had been severed and his
bowels were protruding. At the same
time, Ouvrard, feeling pain, examined
the part afflicted, and found that he
too had been cut in about the same
p$sAs Va sAAS way SAAN SAeAS AAS Oo"CAS
were in danger of falling out. A ply
stefan was Immediately dispatched for,
and the wounded men were made as
comfortable as circumstances permitted.
1t is supposed that Gaboon inflicted the
wounds with a razor while the Slight
alteration was going on and which re-
suited in his election from the store.
At all events, he promptly made his
escape and has not since been heard OF,
although the Sheriff with q posse is in
not pursuit. Ouvrard is still living
but not out of danger. Ouvrard and
Delacolle were known as hard working,
industrious mechanics, and had never
had any previous difficulty with
Gaboon. Gaboon is u splendid looking
bright mulatto, about five feet, ten
inches high, curly hair and large blue
eyes. This is not the first serious
scrape he has been In, and there was a
warrant out for his arrest at the time
he committed the assault upon the two
men. Efforts will be made to have
the Governor offer reward for his
arrest and imprisonment.

s. The Cost Of COttOn.''

Such is the heading to q short article
in this issue, taken from the Mobile
Register, which we have read atten-
lively and can commend to our plant
ing friends as containing matter of the
greatest interest to them. They will
lind why it is they are making no
money growing cotton from the actual
experience OF many we'll informed
farmers in Georgia. just now, the
planter is laying his plans for the next
crop. The article we copy will afford
him food for reflection, and, we hope,
food for himself and stock next winter.

Of that body, over six years ago.
There is now an ample supply OF

Of 143 sail.
To afford our readers an idea OF the

IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

A State immigration Convention
will be held in New Orleans on the
18th, for which considerable prepara-
lions have been made by leading gen.
tlemen Of that city, amoung the number
our former fellow-townsman, Gov.
McEnery who has taken a very active
part in the matter. Full delegations
are requested from every parish in the
State. Ouachita should be represented,
aud we suggest that II meeting be held
next Wednesday to appoint delegates
to the Convention. Should such meet
ing not be held, we would further sug-
gest that the City Council and Board OF
Trade select delegates to attend. We
are convinced that the movement just
will be of material advantage to
our State, aud that it will, with the aid
of legislative enactments, become q
Our parish should, there
tore, become an active participant at
once and not delay until the tide Of
is turned in some other
quarter less favored by nature. The
frst Immigrants to arrive will be sure
to be followed by tho next arrival, and
hence the importance Of securing the
ptoucers in the Immigration to this
State.

The Police Jury.

A regular meeting of the Police Jury
will be convened next Monday. 1t is
to be hoped there will be full atten-
dance of the members, aud that the
new year will be opened with vigor-
Gus onslaught upon the many abuses
which have, under Radical rule for
several years past, crept stealthily into
the management of our parochial
affairs. It does not, as yet, appear to
be understood that the police juries are
u power in the land and that many of
the evils Of which the people justly
complain can be removed by the men,
bers of the Police Jury. In this parish
there is universal complaint about bad
roads and bridges. The Police Jury is
fully empowered to enact q road law
and require its enforcement. The
whole subject matter is within the con-
troll of the Police Jury, and if that
body should take one weeks time in
the enactment Of an effective road law
the people would be gratified. Another
matter worthy of attention is the re-
carry on the parish government. For
ten years these expenses have been ex-
travagant. Nothing has been laid by.
For courthouse we have q barn, and
for Jail an insuferable nuisance. The
income Of the parish, year after year,
has been taken up even before it was
paid in. There is nothing tangible to
show for what the people have been
taxed. Is this to continue? Are we
to have no public improvements, but
to be taxed year after year to pay par
ish officers and to defray current ex-
penses We invite the attention of the
Police Jury to the future. No man.
agement is sound which looks alone to
the present.
