il ten miles farther north, in the
Interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Eogue Talia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with a small amount of capital and
a fair supply of industry and perse-
verance. cannot possibly do better
than iocate i'll OR parish. Tie eli
mate is rs fine as any In the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spung opens
early in February, with blossom

vegetation comes rapidly forward.
Tne heat of summer is moderate,
and the unf;,ilius l,reezes Of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, RICE. peanuts, etc.
The vine is Indigenous, and yearly
bears large haryests Of delicious
fruit. Oranges. pears, peach, pluEs,
ounces, igs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP

WATER POWER.
There is an abundance. of water
power, already improved, inviting
me attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance, as well as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware OF
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-

of such business would soon realize
n fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia. above
the town OF Covineton. 1t has been
practically tested by Pittsburg

WESTERN DISADVANTAGES.
FREQUENT Rosberie. of the Denver Mail.

CHICAGO, Nov %.
A number of Chicago banks received cir
culars Wednesday from the Firet National
Bank Of Denver. Col, saying: Frequent
wholesale robberies of the United States
mail. between here and New York city, com
pels us to issue this circular. Commencing
in Dec, 1881, and continuing up to the
present time, we have lost, on an average,
an entire mail each month, for New York
and New England. Some months they take
two, as in Oct. when thieves stole those en-
tire of the I'd and 3lst. If remittances due
from us for collections or other matters.
fail to reach you on time. please advise
us promptly and duplicate drafts will be for
waraed at once. We have repeatedly in
formed the postal authorities of these whole
sale robberies. but they continue"
Correspondents of the bank here say that
none of their remittances to Denver have
been tempered with.
A later correspondence from Denver state
that the mails between Denver and the
Eastern cities are being systematically and
successfully robbed there is no doubt. New
York and Eastern mails, which left Denver
December 90, 1881, never reached its desti
nation, and since that time losses are almost
constantly being reported. The postal au-
thOrities claim to be so far successful as to
locate the trouble east of the Missouri river,
but still the robberies go on under the very
eyes OF the postal authorities. The real
losses in valuables and currency can hardly
be estimated, but the losses in drafts, bills of
exchange and postal money orders will ag-
gregate over 5000 900.

FROM WASHINGTON.
the Treaty With Corea.

wAsnISGroS. Nov %.
Commodore Shufeldt stated, today. that
though much misapprehension existed in the
public mind regarding the negotiation of
treaty of this country with Corea, aud much
as he might desire to satisfy public curiosity
on the subject. he did not feel at liberty at
present to say anything about it. All the
correspondence and the report Of his action
respecting it are in the hands of the govern
ment and, until the treaty has been passed
upon by the Senate, it would be manifestly
improper for him TO discuss it. In response
to inquiries at the State department 1t was
learned that no foundation whatever exists,
so far as the department is concerned. for
the rumors in circulation that Commodore
Shufeldt had failed in his negotiations, and
that his recall wa. in some sense due to the
fact On the contrary, the department is
we'll satisfied with the result Of the negotia-
tons. Question whether the treaty is or Is
not the best for this country that could have
been negotiated, is purely one for the Sen
ate of the United States to decide.
