PLANTATION WORK FOR AUGUST.

With such dry weather its the South
has experienced this summer, tho mid
die of July should sec the crops laid by.
1t must not be thought because the
crops are laid by that August is to be by
any means an idle month. 1t is one Of
the most important months of the year
for every thrift planter. The first
thing TO be done after laying by crops
is to take caro- Of the various nipple.
ments, to have them brought to the
blacksmith shop, repaired, sharpencd,
and pointed where necessary, to be in
readiness and placed securely under Il
good lock and key shelter for the COM
ing season. 1t is better to do this gen
crai repairing and overl'auling as soon
rs the crop is laid by, when the weather
Is dry, and there is no trouble about
getting q blacksmith, instead of wait
ing till the wet and mud of the winter
when every blacksmith has his hands
full, to have it done. If done in
August it is done with plenty of time
and done well, and generally when left
till winter is hastily and badly done,
ut Il much greater cost. Wagons must
of course, be thoroughly overi,auled for
the hard work expected of them the
coming autumn, and Ivy all means kept
under shelter were possible.
Another excellent work to he done
in July and August is to attend to the
sprouting of the ditch banks and Civ
ing Il tidy appearance to Il plantation,
| and it il also the great month for dead
ening timber land. Cotton houses and
cabins should be built or repaired this
month, and n though coat of whitcwasE
given to every honse and plank fence
on tho plantation. Cotton bask cis
! should also be made mt once. Planters
| should already have had their gin
house and machinery put in thorough
repair, and not wait till the last mo-
| inent, when it is always difficult TO
procure mechanics.

COAL. BEDS.

INatchitotsfles Viudicutor.1
1t is IN undnubted fact that there ex-
list in this parist, numbers of strata of
coal which extend through tho pine
hills, in almost a continuous line rang
ing from East to West. At Grand
Ecorc, when the river is very low, /.
| vein Is clearly defined in the idcs OF
the rocky bluff, and that it will burn,
there is not the least doubt. During
the war, while encamped in that town,
this writer with a party of his friends,
dug quantity of this coal out of tho
hill side and tested it SD far as to dis
cover that it would burn freddy.
We do not pretend to he sufficiently
we'll informed rs to classify this sub
stance, and cannot toll whether it is
anthracite, bituninn,s, Ignite or can
mel coal. The fact remains beyond
the shadow of any doubt, that coal
exists in this parish in large quantities.
\ scientific investigation would soon
determine its quantity and quality.
We believe that il possesses Il sufficient
admiXturc of carbon and bitumcn to
make it useful, ami hence Il very good
substitute for wood, which is at present,
the only article in general use here to
generate heat.
Mr.. J. G. Trichci, a merchant OF this
city, who owns "a farm on Spanish
Lake, some nine miles west of this
city, Informs us that coal exists in that
locality. Recently lie has caused an
investigation to be made of its extent
and has not yet finished the expert
mcnt. y vein five feet thick has thus
far been penetrated, but its thickness
not yet ascertaincd, nor the coal deter
mined.
These superficial investigations I'M
doubtetliy prove the existence of this
fuel in considerable quantities, but, as
we have stated, it will require Il scicr-
titic investigation by skilled adopts t.
determine tho quality of tho article
and its fitness for consumption. This
time may arrive when it will be found
that our soil is rich in many products
and minerals which have been con-
cealcd for innumcrablc decades OF
years, and which have failed of dis
cevcry owing to the lack of an cner-
getic and investigating spirit on the
part of residents. 1t is asSurcdly
worthy of trial to ascertain the nature
of our coal deposits, and the probability
OF their utility

HOMICIDE OF MIR. SIMON DOYLE

On Thursday, the 2lst inst, Capt. j.
IL. Walker shot and killed Simon
Doyle ut Harrison's store, in the
northern portion of this parish. The
facts as NO have heard Thorn are rs
follows:
The deceased, over II year ago, was Il
neishbor of Capt. Walker, and was on
intimate terms with his family. He
paid his addrt sses to Capt. Walkers
daughter and under Il under t, solemn
promise of marriage, accomplished her
rain. Knowing that tho father of his
victim would vindicate the outraged
honor Of his family by the death of the
.lespoiler, he fled the country and took
refnge in Texas Last week he re-
turned TO the neighborhood. He was
seen by one of Capt. Walkers sons,
who instantly hurried to his father,
who WAS fishing on Dorchent, and in
formed him of Doyle's return. The
father, burning with Indignation
! against tho betraycr of his daughter
confidence, instantly mounted his
horse and proceeded to larrison's
store. Ascertaining that Doyle was in
tho store, he tlisnounted and entered
Approaching Doyle, who was convers-
ing with MIR. Harrison and another
gentleman, he exclaimed, "Oh, my
boy, have got you at Inst - and raised
his gun and fired. The shot took
Immediate effect, killing Doyle in
stantIy.
II this Isl II correct statement of the
facts, then We have no hesitancy in as
sorting that Capt. Walker is justitiahle
Men must realize the fact that when
| they tamper with virtue, and under n
false suise of \ promise of marriage
accomplish tho ruin of unsuspectinG
and over con filling females, that they
take their lives i'll their own hands,
and that they will be shot down with
out mercy; that their lives, like tho
base outlaw and desperate, is for
| fcted.
Capt. Walker has our sympathy, and
we trust that he viii be honorably
acquitted when tried by Il jury

1t will interest ,nany OF our readers
to know that the Capt. j. II. Walker,
hero spoken of was an old citizen of
