CANE BY THE TON.

Last Wednesday, meeting our friend, Mr.
Emile Rost. OF Destlehan plantation, ST.

he had inaugurated more equitable mode q.

price, riga dess of its iuat'lrit'' or sweetness.
lilo has contracted with par les in Ibervlle
paris who will ship their cane by the Mis-
sisslppi Valley railroad, at cost of i Sty cents
per ton. The growers of the cane deliver at
the mil, and for each cent received on the
priee OF cane they are to be paid seventy two
ana a-halt cents per ton. For instance, if the
nrst whit" sugars sell at ak cents per pound,
they will b paid six times seventy-two and Il

This well knownjurist, experienced
istateaman and progressive citizen
has decided to make an active and
earnest canvass for theseat in Uon.
gress represrnting}thp Second Con
gressiona District. The confidence
which is 30 universally entertained
in Judge Hihn's ability and fitness,
and the respect which an honorable
and useful life secures frOm all
classes OF HI" people, make bis
chances for Surce - more reasonable
than would have beeu those of per-
liaps airy ether representative man
of his side III the district.
While the party and strategic
points of the situation show advan-
tageously for Judge VIM. T. Houston,
the accomplished aud drsprvedly
popular Democratic nominee, there
are disturbing causes within his own
ranks, to say nothing of the well
grounded fears which the ambigui
ties of the Democratic platform have
arOusedin the minds of the industrial
classes, that add largely to the
chances of SO unexceptional ii candi
date as Judge Hahn.
AS the latter is in the city plan
ming a vigorous campaign, there is II
fine prospect that the lethercy which
has heretofore hnngoverthe facvions
in the Second Congressional District
will be speedily dispelled.-| Item.

who were obliged to retreat.
AT three o'clock on that day-23d
June, 1850-the French were formed
up to advance under whitening mus
kerry fire to assault the Tower of Sol
fcrino, the key of the cnemy's position.
Marshal Benedeck then called on his
cavalry to make supreme effort,
which, had it been successful, would
have changed the fortunes of the day.
The Austrian cavalry were massed be-
hind fringe of wood which effectually
concealed their movements from the
French. Suddenly they were seen to
emerge from their shelter and to pre-
pare for determined charge, to take
in flank those battalions which had al
ready reached the slopes of the hills.
General Mel saw the danger, and i'm
mediately hurled against them the Mar
.guerltc division Of cavalry, in which
DE Valmont's Light Dragons charged
in the first line.
The shock was terrific. The ele-
ments contributed to swell the friphtful
storm of war. Peals of thunder bel
lowed forth and vivid lightning played
over the CHASTITY sight beneath.
1t was afterthe delivery of the charge
'.home that Colonel de Valmont sud
denly saw rise before him about doz-
en- hussars. in white, of the Archduke
Albrecht's regiment. Led by young
Lieutenant with fair hair and q budding
mustache, they sabred the French
dragons with maniacal fury, making
their way through them like cannon
ball. With one bound of his horse the
Lieutenant was at the Colonel. DE
Valmont saw his sabre fash as he raised
it to cut him down. He had only time
to pull he trigger of his pistol and the
