Every person in our country q. sll inter :
ested in sngsr and its consumption, not even
emitting that class of our citizsns who stake
sugar in theirs" will fl I'd the following from
the New Orleans Democrat full CT valuable
inform alton:
Some of the best informed sugar experts
of this counsry have estimated That the con-
sumption Of this staple within the limits OF
our vast country will this year reach the
enormous amount of ,225,0UO tons. OF this
quantity our own state Will furnish probably
12j,008 tons. the various beet watermelon,
sweet potstoe and glucose or corn sugar
manuf ,ctories of the cuuatry, together with
gar, will aggregate at leas 200 600 tons leav-
ing deficit OF 900 900 tons; winch must be
provided for by tue importation of the pre-
cious staple from foreign countries, prlnci'
pally from Cuba, Manila and the Sandwich
islands. The sugar of this latter country is
all consumed on the Pacific slope. The
usraFsesure orsrCar from watermeions and
sV,ees rO'st1as IL ,rIt % its infancy. Yet the
an srprs u fsru ors the u, nth west, and of

the new lgtGary. while this year Thousands

art upenn-r, & q. ne extraction of their
ee .chsrIle prlrerlies great demand. The
manufacture of e'noose n corn sugar Is III
creRsing to a Marvellous extent. In 1851 one
New York firm alone made, has been
asserted, SOM 10000 tons. This glucose en-
tiers into this manufacture of all articles OF
which sugar is An ingredient, while 60 much
OF i. is utilized that il has attracted the at
tention of the government as lit subject of
taxation. Although our own favored state
possesses an area If territory amply sufficient
for toe supply Cf the remaining 900 600 tons
of sugar, we will be compelled to import
this year, several unfavorsble circumstances
inexorably initiating against the consumms-
ton OF such happy des Ter 'tun; among
which we may justly place the unfortunate
levee system that az present obtains in the
sugar regions that lie along the bsnks of the
great river and The numerous bayous and
creeks tina reticuate our state. This vast
def lit of 900, 900 tons of cane sugar must
then be supplied from foreign importation.
But Cuba, from whence moieiy of this sup
ply will come csnsot much longer be reck

fortunate island is daily becoming more and
more complIcsted, while the export duties
and other unjust restrictions placed by the
government on this great industry have be-
come so onerous thai last year the cultlva>
ton of many plantations was temporarily
absnd med. The time, therefore is, fast ap
preaching when We must look to other
countries for our supply of this precious sta
pie, nor will we have to look far. The rich
fields of Morelos. the vast plains of Micbou>
can, and the tropic valleys Of the San Luis
Potosi will soon furnish IAN inexhausuble
supply; but this sugar will not reach the
Crescent City rehneres, for the railr sds
now in course of COZ sruction in our sister
republic W II, through their Am 'ricsn con-
nections, faux New Orleans, and will deposit
their rich freight in The warehouses of ~.
Louis, of Chicago and of Cincinnati.
II is q fact that every thing Is for the bet
in this life-in other words, "a Pope ssyt'
"Whstever is is right" The Louisville
Courier-Journ very lucidly demonstrates
the fact in so far as summer weather is con-
cerned. The fac; is, June, July and August
were made for hot weather and the man
who expects frosts and chilling blasts during
these months down south here, ought 10 be
bored for the simples. The Oourer-Journal
says:
Most persons spend half the year 10 COM
planning about the weather. and very few
have anything good TO say about it. We
begin in November 10 wish il wss June. and
now We long for clesf, cold, crisp Decems
Der day. The truth Is, the weather Is very
much better than our owe temper and dis
positions. II lie hot now, but It will be hot

pairing the Thermometer vita what IL was
last year, we only sggrsvste the difficulty Of
spending q pleasant summer In the city. IL
