ST. TAMMANY PARISH.
IT'S LOCATION = HEALTH =
PRODUCTS-MANUFAC-
TURING AND AGRI-
CULTURAL AD-
NANTAGES,
ETC.

st. Tammany parish is located
twenty two miles north of New Or
leans. CoyingtoL, the county site,
is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and IS delightfully."- located
ON tbs Eogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with = small amount of capital and
a fair supply of industry and perse-
verance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any i'll the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early III February, with blossoms
ON the peach and ounce trees. and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes 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, plums,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the stock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying f1om 81 to So per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is all abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the 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 we'll as
claYs suitable for pottery ware of
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having a practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
Il 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 Covington. 1t has been
practically tested by Pittsburg
manufacturers, and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
COyINGTON,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
tie best business point III the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both ST. Tammany ana Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times q week.
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is SOME talk of building a
telegraph line.
At present there is no Mill or
manufactory OF any kind in Coving-
ton. Building sites for smarufac-
turing purposes can be had on the
most. favorable terms, and every
facility will be offered for immi-

Mr.. EDIToE:-It is sometime now
since you have heard frola me, but the
fact is, this is such a quiet community
it is difficult to start up anything new,
or anything that would be of particular
interest to the outside world. We are
all delighted and lhankfu fer the fne
prospect of a good crop. Our corn
crop is the best that we have had for
many years and there is larger ARA
planted than during any Other one yea
since the war. Co;toa is also doing
well, although The rust is Appearing IN
few places. We arc afraid th"i II the
rains continue the rust viii spread over
most of the cotton. Mr., Saaipei " st

apart and there are from (fty to ore

besides great many small hollis hat

the field will average at least one ba'c

Il is Mcte and Proper.

We rejoice to see thatthe good people
Of Anderson, have OF their own accord,
without Presidential or Gubernatorial
solicitation, resolved in reverence aud
humility, to humble themselves before
Almighty God, and thank HIM Tor his
abundant ulercies. They feel the deep
and profound obligations which are due
to the great "Giver CT al! good and
with tender hearts, and oTerfowlpg
gratitude, they s,con to the 8 Mighty
Master" aad thank him. We ex
tend to our friends Ct The adjoining
county hearty thank and a we'll done,
and as wo do so, do we ask too much
when we request that We join them
in their earnest prayer. Providence
has been merciful. His hand has stald
famine, averted pcsti!cnce, and kept Oh
war. His beneiceDt baud has lifted
Ltle black clouds Of distress from US, and
in tbeir stead the silver rainbow o
plenty comes, Everywhere peace,
plenty aud abundance are on eeud, and
the smiling faces OF happiness greet Us
at every turn Il is enough to be
thankful for, aud now as the sere and
yellow leaf is upon Us, as the harvest
is about to be gathered, as the troubles
of long night are about to ba followed
by bright day, let US too, bow down to
God, and with coutritiop, thank Hin.
Anderson is right. She has appointed
the 18th of September, to pay her
humble homage. Can we not do like
wise? Let US BY all means join her in
her thanks and praises to God. 1t is

Death OF The Great Georg:ar.
Beniaman Fl. Hill United States Senator
from Georgia passed away last week
after long and protractcd illness. The
CONSPICUOUS past which Mr.. Hill has
borne in the stirring events Of the
young Republic makes his loss Of more
than usual importance. Endowed by
nature with a great mind, cultivated, too,
as he has made it, it was but natural
that he should rise among his fellow
men and make bis great powers felt.
At an early age in his native State he
took a very promiuant position, and
step by step he rose until he had reached
the very top Of the ladder. lie was
never found wanting in any OF the po-
sitions to which he was called, and as
an accomplished orator and powerful
debater he VAS second TO none. His
burning words Of eloquenco in the Sem
ate Of the United States can we'll be re-
memhered by all, and there can be 30
doubt but what The convincing powers
of Dir. Hill bad its effect upon the
minds Of bis political adversaries. Ills

great orator OF the opposing. side will
