Whim the god of day arose from his dewy couch he found Jupiter Pluvius in full pos- session of tho field, and after struggling all day for complete control, was forced about 6 P. M. to retire beyond the western horrizon and leave his antagonist master of the field. In plain English the weather yesterday was more like April than August ; 'twas a mixture of cloud and sunshine, with an occasional shower. At this writing the prospects for rain to-night are good. We have nothing new to report iu regal'd to business. We have no encouraging news from the tribu- taries. Low water is the cry from every quar- ter. Mr. Geo. Hamilton has our thanks for late Alexandria papers. The Natchez from Vicksburg, Trenton from Opelousas, and Willie from Ouachita are due this evening. For late river telegrams see first page. For manifests of arrivals see Marine column. The Sabine arrived yesterday and will leave Saturday for Grand Ecore and all wav landings, at 5 P. M.

Mr. W. N. Calmes has charge of her office. We clip the following from the Alexandria Cau- casian, of the 15th inst.: One foot and eight inches fall since our last re- port, aud now the river stands only 4 feet 3 inches above the low water of 1872. Another week like the last, and our river will be past naviga ion. Already, without many sand bars showing above the surface of the w,ter, our packet boats are having mach trouble. The fact is, the sand has settled in the channel, and there is not as good boating water now as there was in 1872, when the river was two and a half feet lower.

Not more than half as much cotton as was made last year, and twice as much corn. A dispatch to the same paper from Calvert, says t at cotton in that locality will not aver- age more than one-third of a bale to the acre, that the present drouth and extremely hot weather ore damaging the prwpect daily. Per contra, the Brownsville •papers state that a much larger amount of cott in will be shipped thii year from the Rio Grande Valley than ever before.

T here was a war of factions in the elem ents yesterday. Whim th e god of day arose from his dewy couch he found Ju p ite r Pluvius in full pos­session of tho field, and after struggling all day for com plete control, was forced about 6 P. M. to re tire beyond the w estern horrizon and leave his antagonist m aster of the field. In plain English the w eather yesterday was m ore like April than A ugust ; 'twas a m ixture of cloud and sunshine, with an occasional shower. At th is w riting th e prospects for rain to-night are good.

We have nothing new to report iu regal'd to business.

We have no encouraging news from the tr ib u ­taries. Low w ater is the cry from every q u a r ­ter.

Mr. Geo. Hamilton has our thanks for late Alexandria papers.

The N atchez from Vicksburg, T renton from Opelousas, and Willie from Ouachita are due this evening.

The following from one of our Shreveport ex- lianges, we fully indorse ;

“ The river repo rter’s occupation is very near like Othello’s unless the re he a change for the better very soon he will close th is column in dis­gust. Selah.’’

The departures yesterday were tho St. .lohn for Baton Rouge, Josephine for Bonnet Carre, John Kyle for St. Louis, B ertha for Opelousas, and Mary Ida for Lower Coast.

We clip the following from th e Alexandria Cau­casian, of the 15th inst.:

One foot and eight inches fall since our last re ­port, aud now th e river stands only 4 feet 3 inches above the low w ater o f 1872. A nother week like the last, and our river will be past naviga ion. Already, w ithout m any sand bars showing above th e surface of th e w ,te r , our packet boats are having m ach trouble. The fact is, the sand has se ttled in the channel, and there is not as good boating w ater now as th e re was in 1872, when the river was two and a half feet lower.

C oop I tems. —A special to th e G alveston Xetcs from M arlin, (Texas), is a s follows:

▲ dry, sohorching drouth prevails, and crops are considerably shortened. Not more than half as much cotton as was made last year, and twice as much corn.

A dispatch to the same paper from Calvert, says t at cotton in that locality will not aver­age more than one-third of a bale to the acre, that the present drouth and extremely hot weather ore damaging the prwpect daily.

Per contra, the Brownsville •papers state that a much larger amount of cott in will be shipped thii year from the Rio Grande Valley than ever before. The cotton worm has en­tirely disappeared and picking is going on briskly.

Reasons for insuring in the Southern L ife In ­surance « orupany:

1. I ts security,' its ratio of assets to liabilities being nearly $200 for even- $100 it owes, its sol­vency being unsurpassed by any com pany doing business in th e United S tates.

2. I ts being a sound Southern Companv, there is no danger of ils w ithdrawal from the country.

3. Its rates are as low as absolute security will allow, and have not been increased, while its m u­tual fea ture re tu rn s in equitable dividends the surplus to the assured.

4. I t is purely a Southern corporation; its Di­rectory em braces the nam es of m any of the ablest financiers, and m ost successful business m en t.f tlie South, and re ta ins all its accumulations at home, to improve and enhance your property.
