4 Sugar Planter: The situation is
about the same as it was at the close.
of last week. We still hold our own
at all points ly the most lperseveriug
labor. E8efgy and watclifulness are
exercised with as much care now as
they were at the commencement Of ,onr
TROUBLES. Work upon the levees is still
imperiously necessary and is being
done to the extent of our ability.
Without further pecuniary assistance
10 pay laborcrs tire chances are against
us. We are frank in this confession.
Back water at about stand. No.
actual distress in the parish.

FIVE in number, were seen in Mr.. Hum
ble's field, within a gnn-sl,pt Of orr
leyee. Theylhad been driven fromtthe

man John knuth, a few days since, and Z
come very near InakiRg nlince meat of
him. He was so badly injured that a
physician bad 10 be called npon to
dress his wounds. If people viii keep
such brutes, they should be obliged to ,
keep them in close quarters where they
can harm 10 one but their owners. HI

themselves agaiast their capt0rs, like q
cats or dogs Those who know moth

how annoying they are 10 man and

they cannot eat, aud where smokes are 4
not kept upthey kiil them.
