Our Carencro correspondent, whose
interesting letter will be found on our
Frencl. page, informs that Mr.. jules
Monton, a highly esteemed citizen of
that neighborhood, was killed last Sat
urday by the accidental discharge of a
gun in his own hands. He leaves IL wife
and four children. On Monday morn
ing, while returning from the funeral,
Amedee Richard, young man Of 20
years, was thrown from his horse and so
severely injured that, at last accounts,
two days afterwards, he was still uncon-
scious, and no hopes were entertained
for his recovery. The poor fellow was
to have been married in two weeks.
Oar correspondent also refers to tho
startling rumors which were cir sulated
last week throughout that section, con
eerning the impending uprising of the
blacks and slaughter of the whites, and
suggests that while the fears of the eiti-
zens were not altogether unfounded, tht
reports Of the matter were no doubl
greatly exaggerated.

Our irrepressible townsman, Jacob
Muller, visited New Orleans on the ex
cursion last Saturday, and took OCCASION
to put in good word for st. Landry
while there. We might state here that
Jake reached home "right side up with
care" last Tuesday evening, highly
pleased with his promenade, and look
ing as young as any of the boys, and as
cheerful as q cricket, rs usual Here is
the German Gazette's report of Mr. Null
fer's adventures:
Among the excursionists who arrived
here last evening, we met our old friend
and political shoester, Jacob Muller,
from Opelousas. Jacob looks like IL
millionaire, and living in the country
has made him at least ten years younger.
Naturally, his first visit was paid to rs.
The excursonists leave this morning,
after two days of amusements; Jacob
Muller was specially attended to, and
even received brilliant serenade on
Sunday evening. We had occasion TO
speak to several gentlemen from St. Ian
dry parish, who corrohorate what we
said before about the aforesaid parish !;
the land is free Of swamps and extremely
fertile, and with little trouble will bring
IL surplns of all the products of the tenn
perate zone, or, Us Mr.. Jacob Muller's
classical expression would suggest
'severything grows in your mouth, even
our market beef, for the more you chew
it the bigger it gets" The old citizens
are trying by all means to attract emf
grafton, and what they wish is princi
pally German settlers, whom they will
help by all means in their power. Land
is cheap and plentiful. There is plenty
room in St. Landry for at least 20, 900 to
10000 industrious settlers. The climate
is agreeable and healthy wood and
water in abundance, and all that is lack
ing is industrious hands to make every
part of the parish a Paradise. The land
is better, and the prospect to be within
short time indepenpent and well to do
greater than IN any part of Texas, and
yet-the bulk of emigration goes to Tex
as, and Louisiana gets nothing.
1t is absolutely necessary that all
parties of influence should take steps to
secure the bulk, or at least part of the
emigration that lands ut our ports.

The only intelligence from Ireland
Of much interest is a rumour that
preparations for instruction have
been discovered in County Clare, and
that the Government believed the
movement to be very wide spread.
Beyond the despatch OF two more
regiments to Ireland, we see, however,
little evidence for this story. In mere
domestic affairs, we note that juries
are returning verdict5 of guilty, in
one case, on the evidence Of "Cap-
tam MoonlIght,'-i. G., the head Of
IL terrorist gang who turned Queens
evidence and that q great meeting
of Ulster tenant-tarmer5 was held IN
Belfast on Friday week, to support
the Land Act. The meeting was
largely attended, and after hearing
speeches from Mr.. GiVan and Mr..
c.. Russell, the farmers resolved
THAT the Sub-Commissioners, of
whose intention to be fair no doubt
is entertained, have not adequately
protected the tenants interest in his
holding by the rents they have fixed.
They have either taken too high a
standard Of rent, forgetting the in
creased cost of labour, and the vastly
increased foreign competition or
they have made too small an allow
ance for the interests and improve
ments of the tenants and undoubted-
ly the rents recently awarded are in
