About all that remains of making the
cotton crop tn Louisiana is the picking, as
the plant is through fruiting and the boil
weevil has destroyed and is destroying all
young fruit. The plant is fruited about on
par with last year, and fairly good crop
matured before the boil weevil reached it.
All the crop is assured against frost unless
unusually early.

The. Cotton Crop.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal of last
Monday says:
There are two distinct divisions of the
cotton crop this year and conditions are so
widely different in each as to render it nee
essary to consider them separately. West
of the river, owing to good seasons, with
few drawbacks, the crop has gone on in
good shape for nearly the entire season. In
this section the plant is we'll advanced and
much picking has already been done.
Taken as whole the crop on that side of
the stream is from go to IS per cent opened,
although in Oklahoma there is probably
more late cotton than in any other State.
Much of this is in danger of frost. In the
West the plant is heavily fruited-most COR
respondents estimate as heavily as last
year.
In the East only small portion of the
crop is opened, although it is estimated that
very small portion is in danger of frost
OF average date, except in Tennessee,
where the plant is still vigorous. The plant
over the entire section is late, but has not
fruited heavily-estimate place it from so
to 70 per cent of last year-and as there is
little promise of top crop it is believed that
picking, when once we'll started, will not
last for long.
The insect damage to the crop has been
small when compared with other years.
Considerable boil weevil have appeared in
Mississippi and Louisiana, but fairly good
crop was made before their appearance.
Elsewhere the damage from insects has
been negligible.

AsweIl Practically Eliminated.
from the New Orleans Item. !

From the New Orleans Item.
Returns from Louisiana's congressional
primaries indicate healthy growth in
public intelligence not only in New Orleans,
but all over the State.
The terrible shrinkage of DR.. James b.
Aswell in those parishes which were re-
puted to be peculiarly chs" since last
January is the most encouraging feature of
the returns. The Doctors fine presence
and persuasive talk then won him, without
organization or any good excuse for being
candidate, very liberal polls in all these
parishes, against two men whose forces
we're very ably organized. The record of
the Doctors subservience to ward bosses
and State bosses, his intimacy with book
agents, and his Encouragement of his
official finances did not penetrate these
parishes at all. 1t has evidently percolated
through most of them since that time.
We find him to-day, in this district newly
cut out apparently for his special benefit,
contrasting against comparatively un-
known man without any notable record
beyond an average term in the State Sem
ate-barely able to squeeze into Office by a
majority around eighty votes. We find
him, against this unheralded contender
from La Sale, actually polling less votes in
six parishes out of eight than he scored
against the closely organized forces of the
popular Judge Hall and the powerful State
ring, both together, only last January.
We find him even running behind his OPP
ponent in four of the eight. The vote was
slightly less nearly everywhere than in
January-the Doctor has lost the power to
conjure it forth. Mr.. Perrin evidently got
more than his share of the vote that Aswell
then failed to getin January, and probably
took some of Aswell's, too.
The only two parishes in which the Doc
tor appears to have progressed at all were
| Avoyelles, where he divided the formerly
antagonistic vote with Perrin, and in
Rapides, where he got much the better OF
| it. Natchitoches, which was agog for AS
we'll during the State campaign, gave him
last week 1873 votes less than he polled in
January and only six more than Perrin got
Mr. Perrin made vigorous campaign.
Had the same effort been made by man
more widely and favorably known through
out the parishes of the district, as Aswel
was, there can be no possible doubt that
the result would have been total extinction
for the Doctor.
The returns as they stand eliminate AS
we'll finally and decisively as factor in
State wide politics. This belt of parishes
and one or two others were the only ones
in which he had any standing worth men
tioning at the close of the State campaign
The wane of his hypnotic hold upon these
puts him beyond consideration as factor
of any strength for any general ticket.

A Federal Fort In Locust Grove.

]. Russell Wright in the Edgefeld Is. Co., Advertiser
During the Civil War, at the Battle of
Franklin, Tenn, Gen. Hood, standing upon
an eminence, saw for the first time in the
distance Federal fort in locust grove,
from which his men were being moved
down at rapid rate. Gen. Hood at once
called his courier to his side and said !:
$50 to Gen. Cheatham and give him my
compliments and tell him ask at his hands
that fort in the locust grove" The courier
put spur to his horse and soon returned,
saying, that Gen. Cheatham could not be
found, and it was feared that he had been
slain. $50, then, said Gen. Hood, to Gen.
Cleburne, give him him my compliments
and tell him l ask at his hands that fort in
the locust grove" Off the courier flew the
second time, soon returning, saying, "Gen.
Hood, Gen. Cleburne is deed on the field'
1t is said that as soon as he heard the sad
intelligence that his great Irish general had
| fallen, his eyes full of tears and his great
heart swelling with emotion, again he said
to his courier, SEQ, then, to Gen. Cockrell,
who was the youngest brigadier in the
Confederate Army, and give him my love
and tell him that ask at his hands that
fort in the locust grove" Off he went the
third time, finding the young Missourian,
said: "Gen. Cockrell, Gen. Hood sends
you his love, and he asks at your hands
that fort in the locust grove from which his
men are receiving such a CALLING fire.
The young Missourian Strengthened himself
up in his stirrups, and cried with a loud
voice: ''First Missouri Brigade, atten-
toni" and every man sprang to his gun,
and stood in his place with brows knit,
teeth clinched, and every nerve contracted
waiting for the second command. Soon it
came ringing down the line as upon electric
wave, Forward! double quick! march!'
AT the same time the rebel yell rose to the
clouds from four thousand threats. Across
the meadow they flew, sweeping the field
with the bayonet, and capturing the fort
with its contents of men and guns. After
the fort had been taken, Gen. CockrelI
mounted his horse and rode back over the
field. Looking at the slain, he then called
his own courier to his side, and with tears
streaming down his cheeks, said: Go to
Gen. Hood and give him my love, and say
to him, that present to him the Federal
fort in the locust grove; but tell him, said
the general, 'That it cost the best blood
that the State of Missouri had to take it,
