The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first upon the right side, next upon the left side of the Misi sissippt River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted:—W. H Barrow's, on Red River Island. Point Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi, The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior, on the Bayou Lafourche, are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the distances are given. Please however note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche, as far up as New-Iberia, where a great quantity of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared, at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

Estimated at 269,769,000 fcs. 1536 865 52 REMARKS: — Let it be understood in this recapitulation that the Cisterri Sugar of 218,462 hhds has been included, at an estimate of five per cent, per hhd. on that part of the crop which was made principally by the usual old process of open kettles, and collected without any reference to weights, some of the hhds. being so much larger than others, although but very few crops, if any, average less than a 1000 lbs. nett, while the greater portion make an average of 1100 lbs., and a good many crops exceed that average considerably. The aggregate produce of thirty Plantations (18,538 hhds., averaging 1000 lbs.,) must be under¬ stood as being made by a different process, assomeofour Planters have refineries, pr other apparatus enabling them to obtain a much better result from the cane juice, besides making very handsome Sugars even with their Molasses, and furnishing for consumption Sugars of all qualities, from double refined down to common sorts. There are in the State many other crops made in the same way, which I have reported with the others by the common process, the Planters having put it entirely in hhds., while the others have sent it to market in different, packages. The Molasses is generally estimated by the Planters at higher quan¬ tities than usual, but whilst some Plantations have made a considerable quantity, others have not given a greater yield, and it would not therefore be correct to estimate it at over 45 gallons per 1000 lbs. Sugar, or upwards of 12.000,000 gallons. Taking into view tbe extended culture, and the new Plantations throughout the Sugar Parishes, this crop is comparatively speaking short. The Parishes of Jefferson, St. Charles, Ascension, Iberville, East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee and St. Landry, have not, in the aggregate, made more than three-fifths of a full crop. St. Mary, St. Martin, Vermillion, Lafayette, Avoyelles and Rapides, may be considered as having made an average crop, excepting Avoyelles and Vermilion, which should have made more. Terrebonne Lafourche Interior, Assumption, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Orleans, St, Bernard and Plaquemines, have in general succeeded better; with some few exceptions the Planters in these Parishes have done well, owing in a great measure to the length of the season, which has added considerably to the crops with such as were backward in Sugar making, whilst it had a contrary effect in the above named Parishes, where they had finished making Sugar. Many who only ought to have commenced when they had finished, had they known what a season they had to depend upon, would have added considerably to their crops. For once they have missed it, but it does not follow they were wrong; there is no doubt but Sugars could be made here in great abundance with such winters as the past, as Louisiana has not lost one single stalk of cane by frost during this season. But on the qther hand the different crevasses which took place last season, with the overflow of Red River, have destroyed or shortened the present crop at least 18,000 hhds. The produce this season of 1455 Sugar-houses, including those which have been destroyed by the crevasses or overflow of Red River, >s shown to be 247,923 hhds., (including Cistern Sugars, which latter will mostly be taken by our local refineries,) equal to 269,769 hhds. of 1000 lbs. There are 62 Plantations that will produce in 1850-51, and nineteen more that will pro¬ duce in 1851-52, exclusive of some half dozen in the Parish of Concordia of tfris Sta.e, and Wilkinson county, Mississippi, close by us ; and although some few say four or five, out of the nineteen for the year 1851-52, may not come in, there, is little doubt but others will supply them. Of the 1517 Sugar-houses, which will produce next crop, there will be about 865 by steam power. 650 by horse power, and 2 by water power. From the best information I have been enabled to pbtain from Texas, there are not less than 35 Sugar Estates that will export about 10,000 hhds. of lOOO lbs. of the present crop. The export of next crop will be. if 1 am well infqrmed, double this quantity. Abqut Florida I have made no 53 inquiries and can say nothing about it. There have been put Up in this State', since 1846, including the present rear, not less than 355 Sugar-mills and engines furnished by the following foundries, viz—Cincinnati Foundries—J.

A great many horse power itiiiis have been made by the above named Foundries, more particularly by Goodloe, Grifye and S. Bennett. However, the latter, as is the case with our local Foundries, make but little new work, comparatively speaking, the repairs they have to make every season, more particularly during grinding, when bre akage so frequently occurs to the machinery, keeps them at work day and night. I wish it was in my power to foresee what loss will be caused to the next crop, by the different crevasses which have already taken place but time only will determine. I can but hope it may be less than to the present one. P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New Orleans, March 20,1850. REMARQ.UES .—Q,u'il soit entendu que dans cfitte recapitulation, les fbnds de citernes de 218462 belts, ont ete inclus a un estime de cinq pour cent par belt sur cette partie de la reeolte qui a ete fabrique principalement par le vieux procede ordinaire dans les chaudieres decouverte. et receuillies sans prendre en consideration les poids ; quelques Uns des boucaults etant beaucoup plus forts que d'autres, il y a pourtant peu de recoltes s'il y en a, qui pesent moins du millier nett, tandisque la majeure partie fbrment Un average de 1100 livresetunfegrande quantite surpasse cet average de beaucoup. La production totale de 30 Habitations 18,538 belts de mille Iivres, doit Ctre concue comme ayant ete faite par differents pro- cede comme quelques uns de nos Habitants ont des Rafineries ou d'autres Appa- reils qui leurs donnent un meilleur resultat du Jus de la Canne, outre cela ils font du Sucre de Melasses et fournissent a la consummation des Sucres de toutes les qualites, depuis double rafine, jusqu'adel'ordinaire. II setrouve dans la Louisiana plusieurs autres recoltes qui ont ete faites de m£me, Je les ais rapportees avec les Outres parle procede ordinaire, les Habitants les ayant entierement mises en belts, pendant que les autres les ont envoyes au marche dans de different barrillages. Des Melasses; L'opinion general des Habitants est, que la canne a produit plus de :et article que de coutume, mais pendant que quelques Habitations ont fait enor- mdment, d'autres n'ont pas donne davantage il ne serait peut-etre pas correct de 'estimer k plus de* 45 gallons par millier de sucre. ou audela de 12 millions de gal- ons. Prenant en consideration l'extension de la Culture et les nouvelles Habita- ions dans les Paroisses a sucre, la rkcolte compaiativement parlant est courte. Les 'aroissesde Jefferson, St. Charles, Ascension, Iberville, Est, West Baton Rouge, 'ointe Coupee et St. Landry, n'ont pas prises ensemble fait plus de trois cinquie- nes de reeolte, St. Marie, St. Matrin, Vermilion. Lafayette, Avoyelles et Rapides, nt a peu pres fait line reeolte ordinaire, & 1'exception, des Paroisses du Vermilion 54 St Avoyelles, qui auraient du faire plus. Terrebonne, Lafourche interieure, Assump¬ tion, St. Jacques, St. Jean Baptiste, Orleans, St. Bernard et Plaquemines, ont en general mieux fait, a quelques exceptions pres les Habitants de ces Paroisses ont bien reussis, cela est du en grande partie a lalongueure de la saison qui abeaucoup ameliore les recoltes de ceux qui ont commence tard a faire leurs roulaison, pendant que tout le contrairfe a efi lieu dans les ci-devant nommees, ou plusieurs Habitants n'auraient fait que commencer leurs roulaisons le jour qu'iis finissaient. S'ils avaient pu pre voir la saison qni leurs etait reservee; pour une fois, ils se sont tronpes, ce qui ne prouve pas qu'iis navaient pas raison, car il ni a pas de doute que la Louisiane pourrait faire du sucre en grande abondance, avec des hivers ' comme celui qui vient de secouler, l'habitant sucrier n'a pas perdu une seule canne a sucre de sa recolte par 1'effet des glaces. Mais d'un autre cote les diffe- rentes crevasses qui eurent lieu la saison derniere avec la hausse des eaux de la Riviere Rouge, n'ont pas detruit moins de 18,000 boucaults de de cette recolte. Le produit cette saison de 1455 sucreries y comprenant celles qui ont ete detruites par les crevasses ou les eailx, a ete de 247,923 belts y compris les fonds de citernesj qui seront en grande partie repasse par nos rafineries locales. Oubien un equiva- lant de 269,769,000 livres nett. II y aura 62 nouvelles habitations qui produiront cette annee, et 19 deplus qui produiront en 1851-2. Non comprises 6 ou environ, dans la Paroisse Concordia decet Etat, or Wilkinson county, Mississippi, tout pres de nous. Des 1517 sucreries quidoivent produire la prochaine recolte, 865 seront par vapeur, 650 par chevaux et 2 par eau. D'apres les meilleures donnees que j'ai pii me procurer du Texas il n'y a pas moins de 35 habitations qui ont exporte 10,000 belts de sucre d'un millier, et si mes informations sont correetes la saison prochaine, cette exportation sera doublee. De l'Etat des Florides, je ne m'en suis pas occupe, et ne puis rien en dire. II s'est introduit sur nos habitations depuis 1846, y com¬ prenant l'annee courante aumoins 355 moulins et machines a vapeur exclusive- ment des moulins a botes, moulins a scie, et machines a dessecher les terres, foumies jpar les divers manufactures qni suivent.

Philadelphie, Pensilvanie, a aussi foumi et contiuue de fournir beaucoup d'appareils desquels je ne suis pas au courant.

Nos etablissements locals n6 font que tres peu douvrages neuf, mais beaucoup de raccomodages tout le temps, et durant la roulaison il est rare qu'iis naient Jpas autant et plus qu'iis he peuvent faire en travaillant jour et nuit, par le cassage des machines qui n'est qufe trop frequent. Je desirerais qu'il fut en mon pouvoir de prevoir la perte qui sera occasione par les flifferentes crevasses qui se sont encore declares contre la recolte sur tqrre, mais le temp seul le prouvera.

In committing to the press his Fourth Report of the Sugar. Crop of Louisiana, which has cost him the most onerous labors, and a travel of upwards of ninety days in the interior Parishes of the State, the undersigned cannot refrain from the indul¬ gence of a few remarks. He has never been fairly remunerated for the services here undertaken, however highly appreciated by many intelligent Planters and Merchants, by the citizens of other States and the federal officers, by whom these services have been noted. The promises and hopes of the future have alone sustained him, which, with satisfaction he acknowledges, begin now in some degree to be realised. The importance of correct knowledge in regard to the crops cannot be questioned. It can thus be inferred what may be expected in prices; what another year will develop; how we are comparing with other Sugar countries, &c. The minute and accurate statistics of each estate, informing as they do Planters of the movements and results of each other, must stimu¬ late individual industry, enterprise and emulation, and can only be objected to by those who would abolish the whole principle pf census taking, whether Federal, State or Parish. The accuracy of the results which the undersigned may an¬ nually present, will depend very much upon the co-operation of the Planters, who, if they will correspond with him, and make their own reports, can have no cause of complaint. Otherwise he must obtain the. facts by the most laborious process of personal application and travel. This he has not refrained from doing, nor omitted any pains which could insure the greatest certainty. Slight errors, after all, may have happened. Many of the Planters have desired this report to cover a wider field, and include the number of acres of land in cultivation in cane, corn, etc.; the product of each ; number of effective hands, mules,'horses, etc. These facts would be very useful, and an attempt would cheerfully be made to give them, were it the wish of the Planters, though in this way the labors and difficul¬ ties of the publication would be immensely increased. INTRODUCTION, En livrant & 1'impression son Quatribme Rapport de la r6colte de Sucre de la Louisiane, qui lui a cotitd beauconp de travail el de recherches, et plus de quatre-vingt-dix jours de voyages dans les paroisses intdrieures et la partie suciiere de cet Etat, le soussignd ose espdrer qu'on lui permettra quelques observations prdliminaires. II n'a jamais et6 bien remundre de ses services, quoiqu'il ajt eu la satisfaction de les voir justement apprecies par la plus grande partie des planteurs et des negociants, par des citoyens dclairds des autres fitats, et par de hauts fonctionnaires du gouvefnement fdderal, qui en ont fait mention. Les promesses qu'il a reques lui ont fait concevoir pour I'avenir des espdrances qui l'ont engagd h persister, et il reconqait avec satisfaction qu'elles commencent en quelques sorte h se rdaliser. L'importance d'une connaissance exacte des rdcoltes ne peut dtre mise en doute. On peut alors se faire une idde des prix qui auront cours ; de la perspective qu'offrira la nouvelle annee; de notre position comparativement aux autres pays produisant le sucre, etc. Les statistiques minutieuses et correctes de cha- que habitation, dclairant les habitants sur leurs travaux respec- tifs, et leurs resultats, ne peuvent que stimuler l'industrie, et l'esprit d'entreprise, crder une louable dmulation, et ne peuvent rencontrer d'objections que chez ceux qui nient l'utilite de tous recensemens, soit du gouvernement general, soit de l'^tat ou des paroisses. L'exactitude du relevd annuel que le soussignd peut prdsenter au public, depend beaucoup de la cooperation des habitants sq- crifjrs, qui s'lls veulent lui faire connaitre en correspondant ayec lui, le rapport de leur rdcolte, n'auront aucun sujet de plainte ; autrement il est contraint de se procurer ses renseignemens par les perquisitions les plus laborieuses et les plus assidues, par des voyages dispendieux et par des applications personnelles, qu'il craint quelquefois de pousser jusqu'a l'importunitd. II n'a recule devant aucune de ces exigences, il n'a rien negligd, rien omis, qui put assurer les resultats les plus corrects et les plus certains; et aprbs tout il est possible que qu< lques erreurs se soient glissdes dans son travail. IV PREFACE. It is in some instances requested that the crops in every in¬ stance be reduced to hogsheads of 1000 lbs., since some of the Planters make much larger hogsheads than others, etc. The objection to this is, that the number of hogsheads would thereby be greatly swelled, and people could not know what had become of them all, since the reports of vessels and boats and merchants, in showing only the actual hogsheads, would show a number much less. Notwithstanding the above, the undersigned is often charged with the wish of.making the crop too large, and it will be seen with what justice. What interest can he have in the matter, further than truth—and in any case have not the Planters the corrective in their own hands ? If they are ashamed to acknow¬ ledge a short crop in their own case the blame is at their doors. It was found impossible to include the State of Texas in the present report, from the inadequacy of the returns ; but another season the undersigned hopes to make a visit to that quarter, and introduce the same into his report, if found practicable. There being some desire expressed to obtain the quantity of Louisiana Sugar taken by the Western States individually, and having no proper data to go upon, further than those of St. Louis and Cincinnati, by consultation and communication with the Western merchants it has been tried, and will be found on page 50 of this book. In future he will, without doubt, be better prepared to give these figures with accuracy. They can only be considered approximate ones for the present. In order to make his book more interesting, he has thought proper to append to it the Report of the Secretary of the Treas¬ ury in relation to the import and export 'of Sugar into and from the United States, for the fiscal years of 1849 and 1850, ending on the 30th June each year. INTRODUCTION. Vii Beaucoup d'habitants lui ont temoigne le desir de voir ce Rapport s'etendre sur un champ plus vaste et comprendre la quantite d'acre3 de terre en culture, en Cannes, en mails, etc., le produit obtenu de chaque espfece ; le nombre de nbgres de champs, de mulets, de chevaux, etc. Ces details seraient sans doute fort intbressants et fort utiles, et le soussignb en ferait volontiers l'essai s'il le croyait agrbable k la majoritb deg habitants et s'ils voulaient lui accorder leur concours, quoiqu'ert le faisant il augrrienterait de beaucoup les difficultbs et les peines que lui imposerait cette publication. Quelques-uns preferent que la rbcolte soit rapporte en bou- cauts de 1000 IBs., parcequ'il y a des habitants qui font leurg boucauts plus grands que d'autres. L'objection & cela est, que, de cette manihre la quantite de boucauts serait considerablement augmentee, et on ne pourrait pas se rendre compte de leur de¬ stination. Les rapports des pavires, des bateaux et des nbgo- ciants n'accusant que la quantite actuelle de boucauts, ne re- presenteraicnt qu'un chiffre beaucoup nioins blevb. Nonobstant ce qui prbcbde, le soussignb est souvent accuse de vouloir faire la rbcolte plus forte qu'elle n'est, et on verra avec quelle raison. Quel interet peut-il avoir autre que celui de la vbrite, et I'exactitude de son rapport? Et d'ailleurs les planteurs n'ont-ils pas en leurs mains le rbmhde ? S'ils n'osent pas accuser une recolte moindre une annee qu'une autre, c'est leur faute. II n'est pas possible, pour cette fois, d'inclure dans ce rap¬ port I'fltat du Texas, faute de renseignemens sufHsants. Mais avant son prochain rapport, le soussigne pense pouvoir visiter Ce pays et s'assurer des retours precis, si s'est possible. D'aprbs le desir exprimb d'obtenir la quantite de sucre de la Louisiane pris par les lltats de l'Ouest &. part, n'ayant d'autres donnbes certaines que pour St. Louis et Cincinnati, en consul¬ tant et conferant avec les Ndgociants de l'Ouest, le soussigne a pu rediger un tableau approximatif, qu'on trouvera b. la page 50 de ce livre. A l'avenir, sans doute, ces retours seront donnds avec toiite I'exactitude desirable. Pour donner plus d'interet son ouvrage il y a ajoute les rapports du Secretaire d'Etat, relativement aux importations et exportations de Sucre des Etats Unis, pour les annbes fiscales 1849 et 1850, finissant le 30 Juin de chaque annbe; STATEMENT OF SUGAR MADE IN LOUISIANA IN 1850-51.

The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first upon the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted: W. H. Barrow's, on Red River Island- Pointe Couple and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and La¬ fourche, are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the distances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New-Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the pa,rish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

The season, embracing a portion of the years 1851 and 1852, has, in many respects, been a most extraordinary one, as during a residence of twenty-two years in the State, I have never experi¬ enced such another in regard to severity, unusual changes in the weather and its effect upon the Sugar Cane. Last fall, a year ago, our Sugar Planters, or at least most of them, very early perceived that the plants they had put up for seed were much damaged. Many of them put up again and again, with hardly better success, and singular as it may appear, (and I derive my information from undoubted sources-^ the Planters themselves,) it frequently happened that of two beds of plants put up on the same day, but in different parts of the field, one, when opened for planting, proved to be good, or mostly so, whilst the other turned out to be almost entirely spoiled. Owing to these causes the Planters had a vast deal of trouble when the planting season arrived, in cutting off the damaged parts of the cane, and in selecting plants with good eyes to put in the ground. After their planting was finished, the spring proved to be very cold, and the cane as a consequence was late in coming out of the ground, particularly the rattoons, which failed in many cases to grow at all; yet I am informed, notwithstanding that where they did come up, the yield from them proved to be much better than it was from the plant cane, which is a most unusual occurrence. The spring, as I have before said, was very cold, and I must also add that it was a remarkably dry one. Indeed, there was no rain until the latter part of August, when there were some partial showers, which did great good where they fell. In some sections of the State they were without rain for nearly eight months, and the prairie ponds, that had never been dry before, were so entirely dried up that there was much suffering among the cattle for the want of water. The Belleview and Grand Coteau of the Parish of St. Landry and the islands and prairies of St. Mary and St. Martin, suffered very considerably, particularly the first mentioned, but in the Parish of Lafayette, the drought was so great that they made hardly any crops at all. Great difficulty was expe¬ rienced in ploughing, on account of the dryness of the ground; but the planters who ceased ploughing with the commencement of the rains generally had the most productive crops. Where ploughing was continued after the rains set in the cane grew luxuriantly large in size, hut, when taken to the mill, it proved to have but little saccharine matter, comparatively speaking, though it is probable that if the season had been longer a different result would have been shown. The Mississippi River and Bayous, and also the Lakes continued very high during almost all the summer, V which, on the alluvial lands, naturally produced a genial moisture, and this will account, in a great measure, for the crops in some localities having turned out as well as they did, considering the extraordinary absence of rains of which I have been speaking, The winter just passed has been one of unusual severity, and in some of its characteristics has been somewhat peculiar as it re¬ gards its effects on the sugar cane. Heretofore, during seasons of severe frost, it has been usual for the plantations in the upper Parishes to suffer materially, while those below the City were almost wholly exempt from injury; but this year, and also the year previous, such has not been the case, as those both above and below New Orleans have fared much alike. In a publication made not long since by Dr. E. H. Barton, a gentleman who has devoted a great deal of attention for many years past to the vicissitudes of the weather, and who has with praise-worthy industry kept a record of the same, we find some interesting data, from which we subjoin the following extracts, under the impression that they cannot but be interesting to the planting and commercial communities, for whom this publication is more particularly intended : '' The lowest temperature here in December last occurred on the mornings of the 18th and 19th, when the thermometer descended to 24° each ; and on the 20th reached 30°. On the morning of the 13th of January, the exposed thermometer was covered with ice and snow four inches thick, and was at 25° ; on the next morning, thb 14th, it was at 22%° ; and on the next three mornings was respectively 32Q, 32°, 36° : on the 18th at 55° ; on the 19th at 21° ; on the 20th at 14y^° ; on the 21st at 32° ; on the 22d at 30°. The highest temperature in the shade during these days was 64 a at 9 o'clock on the 18th, and the highest temperature in the sun 68a, and only once. The meteorological condition has been equally remarkable in its influence on the barometer. On the 8th of December, at 9 o'clock, it was 30-650, and on the 19th of January it had reached 30.830, the highest I have ever seen it reach in more than thirty years' observation. " When the snow commenced falling on the afternoon of the 12th, the ground was already frozen, the thermometer being at 30°, and the baro¬ meter at 30.630. " On the 22d of December, 1836, the thermometer descended to 25°. On the 4th of February, 1835, it was at 28°, and on the 5th, 6th and 7th, respectively, 34°, 31°, 32a, and on the 8th descended to 15°—the next morning it was at 27s. On this occasion the Bayou St. John was frozen over, and to the extent of at least half an inch in thickness, and it was rer ported that in some of the neighboring forts it had descended as law as 8° 1 On the preceding January, (1834) on the 3d, the thermometer was at 29° ; on the 4th it was at 28a ; and on the 5th at 19%° ; on the 6th, 26%° ; and on the 7th, 20%°. On the 15th and 16th of February, 1823, it was each morning at 10° ! The cold weather on this occasion lasted some time, and boys were seen by me skating on the ice in ponds on and about the then levee, where there are now four story buildings 1 In December, 1822, the thermometer sunk to 20° ; the ice was one inch thick, and the snow fell to the depth of at least an inch, INTRODUCTION. La saison comprenant une partie des annees 1851 a 1852, a ete remarqnable sous plus d'un rapport, et pendant un sejour de v ingt-deux ans dans cet Etat, je n'avais pas eu l'oeeasion d'en voir une semblable, quant a l'intensite du froid, la variation de la temperature et ses effets sur la canne a sucre. L'avant-derniere automne, no; habitants sucriers pour la plupart s'apper- curent que le plant mis en matelas etait endommage. Plnsieurs en remirent, a differentes reprises avec aussi pen de spcces; mais par un fait etrange, et que je tiens de bonne source, (des habitants eux-mfemes,) il arriva SQUvent, que de deux matelas faits le meme jour dans differentes parties du champ, l'unsetrouva bon ou a peu pres, quand il fut temps de planter, tandis que l'autre etait entierement perdu. II en resulta que quand il fallut planter les habitants furent forces de trier les cannes pour choisir celles qu'ils croyaients bonnes a mettre en terre. Les plan¬ tations faites, le printemps fut tres froid, et la-canne tardive, surtout les souches qui manquerent entierement dans divers cas, bien que d'apres mes informations 1'on ait tire plus de sucre de celles qui ont reussi, que du plant de canne, ce quj n'a pas lieu ordinairement. Le printemps, comme je viens de le dire fut tres froid, remarqnable par la sSeheresse ; il ne plut reellement que vers la fin du mois d'Aoiit, et dans quelques loealites qui s'en trouverent bien. Dans d'autres parties de l'Etat, on fut prive de pluie pendant pres de huit mois ; les mares de prairies qui n'avaient jusqu'alors jamais ete sans eau, furent entierement dessechees, et les bestiaux eurent beau, coup a souffrir. La Bellevue et le Grand Coteau de la Paroisse St. Landry, et les lies et Prairies de Ste, Marie et St, Martin s'en ressentirent; mais dans la Paroisse Lafayette la seeheresse fut telle qu'a peine on put y faire aucune recolte, Le labourage fut penible et difficile a cause de la seeheresse du sol, mais la ou 1 'on cessa de labourer au commencement des pluies, la recolte fut plus abondante, tandis que les terres labourees depuis cette epqque produisirent de grandes Cannes, mais qui rendues au moulin, ne donnaient comparati vement, que peu de sucre; on doit cependant presumer que si la saison avait ete plus longue le resultat aurait ete different. Les eaux du Mississippi, des Bayous et des Lacs furent tres hautes pendant presque tout l'ete, l'humidite produite par cette cause toute naturelle, pent en quelque sorte, servir a expliquer comment dans quelques loealites les recoltes ont pu reussir malgre le manque extraordinaire de pluie que je viens de signaler. L'hiver qui vient de finir a ete tres rigoureux et remarquable, sous plus d'un rapport eu egard a ses effets sur la culture de la canne. Jusqu'ici, dans la saison des fortes gelees, les Paroisses d'en haut en souffraient considerablement, tandis que celles situees audessous de la ville en eprouvaient a peine quelque dommage; mais il n'en a pas ete de m&me cette annee ni la precedente, ces deux portions de l'Etat ayantpartage le meme sort. Dans un article publie recemment dans le Picayune par le Docteur E. H. Bar- t.qn qui depuis plusjeurs annees a soigneusement observe la variation de la tempe, vii rature, et tenu un registre exact du resultat de ses travaux, on trouve une serie de faits interessants dont nous donnons ci-dessous quelques extraits, dans la convic¬ tion qu'ils ne seront pas sans interet pour Pagriculture et le commerce, a qui le present ouvrage que nous presentons aujourd'hui au public est plus specialement destine. En Decembre dernier le degre de la temperature le plus bas a ete dans les mati¬ nees du 18 et 19, le thermometre etant descendu a 24° , le 20 il remonta a 30 °. Le 13 Janvier au matin, le thermometre expose etait couvert de glace et de neige de quatre pouces d'epaisseur et a 25 ° ; le lendemain matin le 14 il fetait a 22% ° ; et chacun des trois jours suivants il etait a 32°, 32°et36° ; le 18 il etait a 55° ; le 19 521 ®, Ie20al4%°, le 21532®, le225.30°. La temperature la plus elevee pendant ees jours a ete 64 ° a neuf heures le 18, et au soleil 68 ° une seule fois. La condition meteorologique a ete egalement remarquable parson influence sur le barometre. Le 8 Decembre a neuf heures il etait a 30:830, la plus grande elevation que j'aie vue pendant trente annees d'ob- servations. Lorsque la neige commenca a tomber dans la soiree du 12 Janvier, la terre etait deja gelee, le thermometre etant a 30° , et le barometre a 30:630. Le 22 Decembre 1836, le thermometre descendit a 25 ° ; le 4 Fevrier 1835, il etait a 28 °, les 5, 6 et 7 respectivement a 34 °, 31 °, 32 °, le 8 il descendit a 15 °, le jour suivant il etait a 27° . En cette circonstance le Bayou St. Jean fut gele d'un demi-pouce au moins d'epaisseur et l'on disait que dans quelques postes du voisinage le thermometre avait ete aussi bas que 8 °. En Janvier de l'annee precedente (1834) le 3, le thermometre etait a 29° , le 4 il etait a 28 °, le 5 a 19%° , le 6 a 26%°, et le 7 a 20%° . Dans les joumees du 15 et du 16 Fevrier 1823, il etait chaque matin a 10°. Le froid dans cette circonstance dura quelque temps et j'ai moi-mfeme vu patiner sur les mares qui se trouvaient alors dans cette partie de la Levee, ou l'on voit aujourd'hui des edifices de quatre etages. En Decembre 1822, le thermometre tombaa20°, la glace etait d'un pouce d'epaisseur, et une neige de la mfime epaisseur couvrait la terre. viii EXPLANATION. Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the sea shore ; every Plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the different Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to com* mence first upon the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted : W. PI. Barrow's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of As¬ sumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left, This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the distances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New-Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

It will be seen by the recapitulation on the preceding page, that the Cistern Sugar of 203,922 hhds. has, as heretofore, been in¬ cluded at an estimate of 5 per cent. hhd. on that portion of the crop made by the usual process of open kettles, and it will also be observed that, in giving the amount of the crop, we have paid nq regard to the weight of the hhds, though we deem it our duty to remark, however, that the sugars of this crop have, in general, been very light. A majority of the hhds. have exceeded 1000 lbs, nett. and some plantations have produced them much heavier, but, on the other hand, the hogsheads on some estates have hardly averaged 1000 Ifcs. net ^ hhd. The aggregate product of forty-three plantations worked on the various new processes and vacuum principle, amounting, as Ave have shown, to 22,421 hogsheads, ought to be considered as a distinct article, as some of the owners of these plantations manufacture, in addition to their own crops, a considerable quantity of common brown and cistern sugar derived from other sources, and which is returned upon the market refined, either ip loaf, crushed, poAvdered, clarified, &c., thus adding to these sorts and diminishing by so much the amount of BroAvn Sugar. The crop of this season has generally been of poor quality, and although it sums up considerable as regards the number of hhds, yet it is doubted if the quantity in pounds exceeds greatly that of the previous year. The season, indeed, was a most unfavorable one in many respects, and, until late in the summer, there was a very bad prospect even for a moderate yield, There was not rain, enough to do any material good, in any section of the State, until the latter part of August, and even then the showers were very partial in their character, though of great benefit to those plantar tions where they fell, the Parishes of St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, Jefferson and the plantations below New-Orleans, having been most favored. In most of the parishes there was scarcely any rain till late in September and first of October, and although the cane in consequence exhibited a luxuriant growth, yet when 44 passed through the mill it was found to he deficient in saccharine matter, not having had time to arrive at full maturity before it became necessary to cut it, notwithstanding the weather was quite propitious. The planters of Rapides and Avoyelles, as well as in most of the Upper Parishes commenced windrowing their cane about the 7th of November, and as the weather, as we have above re¬ marked, was favorable, they succeeded in grinding nearly every stalk of their cane, the yield being less of course than it would have been, had there been time for the cane to have ripened. Some Planters lost a portion of their crops by postponing the grinding of the cane too late in the season, which our observation teaches us is a great fault, for we have always observed that those who com¬ menced grinding early have, notwithstanding the deficiency in the yield at first, come out best in the end. There are in all the State, 1474 plantations, including those destroyed or materially injured by the Crevasses, and the product, as is shown by actual computation, amounts to 236,547 hhds, taking the Cistern Sugars into the account, equal to 257,138,000 pounds of all sorts. There are some new plantations in a state of preparation for the next, and many more for the year 1853, in various Parishes. The Parish of Calcassieu we leave out, as the quantity of Sugar made there is hardly worth noticing, the largest plantation there having been abandoned. Of the 1474 Sugar Houses in Louisiana, includ¬ ing those that were overflowed, 914 are worked by steam power, and 560 by horse power. The contracts for steam engines are yearly increasing. I have again been compelled to omit the crop of Texas having had as much to do in Louisiana as I could well attend to ; but I fully intend to make such arrangements this summer as will insure my having all the particulars for my next publication. The quantity of Molasses made this season has been unusually large, and may be attributed to the greenness of the cane, which on account of the late rains above referred to, was growing when it ought to have been rapidly maturing. It may be safely esti¬ mated that the yield this season averaged 70 gallons to the 1000 Lbs. of sugar, or upwards of18,300,000 gallons as the entire crop. Many Crevasses have occurred on the Mississippi River, and there was also one on Bayou Plaquemine and one on Bayou La- 45 fourche, and the quantity of sugar destroyed in consequence can¬ not be less than 9000 to 10,000 hhds. The lower part of the Grand Levee at Point Coupee gave way just at the lower line of Mr. Charles Hagan's Plantation, and also the Dyke at the lower mouth of False River, and the result was that every plantation there, as well as on Bayou Grosse Tete in the Parishes of Point Coupee and Iberville were more or less overflowed. The Crevasse which took place at the upper lands of Messrs. Baltazar Dupuy and Messrs. Michel Hubert & Co., on the right side of the Mississippi, five miles above Plaquemine, destroyed several entire crops in Iberville, besides extending upwards and doing great damage to the planters on the lower part of West Baton Rouge. Great exertions were made to stop this crevasse but without success. Another took place on Bayou Plaquemine just in the rear of the town, which pretty much destroyed some half a dozen crops and did great in¬ jury besides in various ways, This crevasse was stopped twice, but the work could not be made to stand. Other crevasses occurred on the East side of the River at the Plantations of Messrs. Gourier & Anger, Madam Gorham & Poche, in the Parish of Iberville, and at Mr. Henry Doyal's, in the parish of Ascension (Hard Times) doing an immense deal of injury, the water extending up and down the river for a considerable distance, destroying the crops on every plantation it reached on the Mississippi River, but two. All the crops on New River were lost, and many also on Bayou Man- chac, and higher up in East Baton Rouge, as well as below, in the Parish of Ascension. Three other crevasses happened in the Pa¬ rish of Jefferson and Orleans, all causing more or less destruction. The break in the levee at Mr. L. Millaudon's Plantation, and the one at the plantation then owned by General C. Lacost & Son, were closed before a great deal of harm was done; but the one on the Plantation of Mr. C. Gardanne was, after great labor and expense, abandoned, destroying the place, causing the loss of many entire large crops and greatly cui-tailing others in the Parish of Plaquemines, besides doing material injury in the Parishes of Jefferson and Orleans.

In presenting to his patrons his Sixth Report of the Sugar Crop of Louisiana, which has cost him unremitting labor, and nearly tour months travel in the different Parishes where Sugar is made in this State, the undersigned begs leave to introduce the following REMARKS. The two last Sugar-making seasons have differed from each other in almost every essential point. In the Fall of 1851, when our Planters began cutting their cane for the mills, the juice of the cane was very weak; in many instances weighing less than six degrees by the Sacharometer, and consequently made Sugar of poor quality, and an extra large quantity of Molasses. This was easily accounted for. The cane, pretty much all over the State, suffered very much during the Summer for want of rain, and then grew up suddenly in the Fall, when it would have been maturing had the season been more favorable. Yet the Planters finally succeeded a great deal better than they had reason to expect, for a good many of them, during the Summer, had their doubts whe¬ ther they would produce more cane than they would require for seed. And then when the remarkably severe cold of January came it was quite generally apprehended on the part of Planters that the cane in the mats, reserved for seed, had been destroyed by the frost, besides the extensive injury done to the rattoons. This fortunately, however, proved not to have been the case to any very great extent, and the seed saved turned out to be of excellent quality; for never before, to our recollection, did it come out of the ground quicker or better than last Spring. The rattoons, how¬ ever, have been pretty much a failure, some few Planters only having succeeded with them, and these only to a partial extent; for whenever they came up at all they did not yield much Sugar, and no where did they arrive at a degree of maturity at all com- ?arable with the plant cane. This being the case, nearly all the lanters, contrary to the usual course, began Sugar making with their plant cane, and the few who ground their rattoons first obtained little or 110 return from them. As a further contrast to the season of 1851, which was a late one, the Planters began earlier to make Sugar the last Fall, than in any previous year, the plant cane having attained an unusually early maturity, and a greater richness of juice than was ever before seen in this State, the weight being from nine to ten and a half degrees pretty much every where. Thus the Sugar proved of excellent quality, and the yield per acre large ; resulting in a good crop in the aggregate, though from comparatively few acres of cane; and this mostly plant cane, whereas in former years it has been usual to obtain about one half of the crop from the rattoons. Among the other pecularities of this last season it may be worth noting that some of our Planters, after having finished their Sugar making and the planting of their cane for the next crop, V found themselves with a surplus of seed cane on hand, and some of them have made Sugar from cane that had been over three months in the mats. Some fed their hogs with what they had remaining ; others gave it to any neighbor wanting it, and finally some had to burn it to get it out of their way. The extraordinary yield of last year however, is not surprising when we consider that the season was probably the most favorable for agricultural products generally that was ever known in Louis¬ iana. Not only Cane, but Cotton, Corn and Irish Potatoes, such as we had never seen before in this State, and all other articles, have been produced in the greatest abundance and perfection. As for the coming crop, its result is, of course, in the future, but we may remark that as far as the season has gone everything looks well for the Planters. Each and every one of them' has made a good planting, such as has never been made before in this State; and_ besides this the rattoons must be good, for the Winter and Spring thus far, have been of the most favorable character. Thus far, therefore, the prospects for a fine crop may be said to be good; and considering the extent of the planting, and the rattoons of the first year being good, (for there are hardly any other than first year) should the coming season prove as favorable as the last, the crop cannot fail to be very large, The Cane culture in this State, however, is well known to be exposed to certain unfavorable vicissitudes to which it is not liable in more Southern latitudes, and hence its past history presents remarkable fluctuations in the product, as will be seen by the an- nexed_ Statement, which gives the crop of each year, from 1828 to 1852. inclusive—a period of twenty-three years : Crop of 1852 321,934 hhds.;Crop of 1810 " 1851 236,547 1850 211,201 " 1849 247,923 1848 220,000 " 1847 240,000 1846 ..140,000 1845 186,650 " 1844 200,000 1843 100,000 1842 140,000 1841 90,000 As we have already said, the prospect for a fine crop may thus far be considered' good, and we trust that the remainder of the season may be of a character to realize the most sanguine hopes of the Planters, and enable them to test, more fully than has ever yet been done, the capacity of our State in the production of Sugar. 1810 87,000 hhds. 1839 115,000 •' 1838 70,000 " 1837 65,000 " 1836 70,000 " 1835 30,000 " 18 ?4 100,000 " 1833 75,000 " 1832 70,000 " 1829 48,000 '• 1828 88,000 " Respectfully, P.

En prdsentant a, ses abonnes son Sixieme Rapport de la Recolte de Sucre de la Louisiane, qui Jul a couie ud travail assidu, et pies de quatre mois de voyages dans les differentes paroisses de I'Etat, on la canne est cultivde, le soussigne croit devoir soumettre les remurques suivantes: Dans les deux dernieres s~aisong, on a pu observer des diffe¬ rences essentielles preEqu'en tout point. Quand les planteurs commencferent a couper les cannes dans l'automne de 1851, le jus de la canne dtait tres faible, pesant moins de six degres au Saccharometre, donpant par consequent, un Sucre de quality infdrieure, et une quantitd extraordinaire de Melasse ; ce resultat etait facile &, prevoir. Dans presque tout I'Etat, la secheresse pendant l'ete fut tres nuisible 5. la canne qui recommenga a vd- gdter avec vigueur en automne, Spoque oil dans des circondtances plus favorables, elle aurait du murir. Les habitants eurent enfin plus de succes qu'ils n'avaient lieu d'esperer, car plusieurs pendant l'dtd craignaient de manquer de plant pour la saison suivante. Dans les fortes .geldes de janvier, independamment du tort fait aux chicots, on eut des craintes serieuses pour les cannes en matelas rdservees pour planter. Ces craintes furent en grande partie sans fondement, le plant reserve se trouva d'une qualite superieure, et nous ne nous souvenons pas de l'avoir vu germer aussi prompte- lnent et avec autant de vigueur qu'au printemps dernier. Depen¬ dant les souches ont €16 presqu'en totalite perdues, n'ayant reussi que chez iin petit nombre d'habitants, et partiellement encore. Dans les lieux oil elles pousserent, elles n'atteignirent jamais le ddgrd de maturite du plant, et le rendement en fut insignifiant. En cet dtat de choses, les habitants pour la plupart commencbrent par roulcr le plant de cannes : ceux qui voulurent commencer par les souches, n'eurent aucun succfcs. En comparaison de la saison de 1851, qui avait 6t6 trbs tardive, les habitants ont pu commencer l'automne dernier l'exploitation de leur rdcolte, plutbt que dans aucune des anndes precedentes, le plant de canne ayant dtd 'd'une prdcocite extroardinaire et son jus d'une richesse jusqu'alors inconnue dans cet Etat, et pesant de neuf h dix degres et demi presque partout. La qualite du Sucre fut done exeellente, et le produit par arpent considerable, donnant en definitive une bonne recolte relativement au petit noinbre d'arpents de cannes en culture, et ces cannes etant pres¬ que toutes de plant, contrairement aux annees, precedentes, oil environ la moitid de la recolte provennit de souches. Entre autres particularitds de la dernihve saison, on peut encore rcmarquer que quelques habitants ayant acheve leur roulaison et VII plantb leurs Cannes pour la prochaine rbcolte, se trouvbrent avec un surplus de plant. Plusieurs firent du Sucre avec des cannes depuis trois mois en matelas, d'autres en donnbrent h leurs voi- sins qui en manquaient, ou en nourrirent leurs cochons; d'autres enfin en ont brule«pour s'en debarrasser. On ne doit pas cependant etre surpris de l'abondance de la derniere rbcolte, si l'on considbre que la saison a bte une des plus favorables h, l'agriculture, que l'on ait jamais vues k la Loui- siane. Indbpendamment de la canne a sucre, les recoltes de coton, de mais, de pommes de terre et autres produits, ont etb abondantes et de bonne qualitb. Quant & la prochaine recolte, le resultat depend de l'avenir, jusqu'a present tout semble d'un heureux presage b, l'habitant. Partout on a bien plante, et peut etre plus que jamais dans cet Etat; les souches doivent etre bonnes, car l'hiver, et le printemps jusqu'k ce jour leur ont 6tS tres favorables, on a done tout lieu d'es- perer une belle recolte. Les plantations ay ant bte considerables, et les souches de premiere annbe bonnes, (et il n'y en a gubre que de premibre annee,) si la saison prochaine est aussi favorable que la derniere, la rbcolte ne peut manquer d'btre trbs forte. Cependant la culture dc la canne est, eomme on le sait, expo- see dans cet Etat, k des accidents dont elle est exempte dans des latitudes moins blevees, et son histoire passbe nous fournit des fluctuations remarquables dans le produit, eomme on peut le voir dans le tableau suivant de la recolte de chaque annee, depuis 1828 jusqu'a 1852, embrassant une periode de vingt-trois ans : Recolte de 1852.. .321,934 boucauts.

Respectueusement, P. A. CHAMPQMIER. VIII EXPLANATION. Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the sea shore; the Plantations put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the different Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first upon the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation ex¬ cepted—W. H. Barrow's, on Red River Island. Pointe Cou¬ ple and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the distances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhbuse, in the parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

It will be perceived from the preceding Recapitulation that we have computed the product of Cistern Sugar at 5 cent. ^ hogshead on 275;671 hogsheads, that being the por¬ tion of the crop made by the usual process of open kettles. It will also be observed that in giving the amount of the Crop we have paid no regard whatever to the weight of the hogs¬ heads, which, as is well known by every one conversant with the article, vary a great deal in size, as well as in quality. As an approximate estimate, however, we believe the average weight to be about 1125 fbs. nett hogshead. The aggregate production of fifty-one plantations, worked on the various new processes and vacuum principle, amount¬ ing to 32,480 hogsheads, ought to be considered as a distinct article, as some of the owners of these plantations manufac¬ ture, in addition to their own crops, a considerable quantity of common Brown and Cistern Sugar, derived from other sources, and which is returned upon the market refined, in the form of Loaf, Crushed, Powdered, Clarified, etc., thus adding to these sorts, and diminishing by so much the amount of brown sugar. The crop this season has generally been of a superior quality, and sums up a very satisfactory number of hogsheads. The season, indeed, was a very favorable one in most respects, more particularly, however, on the Mississippi river and Bayou Lafourche, where we found the cane much riper than in the Red River Parishes and Opelousas, the abundant rains of Au¬ gust having prevented full maturity in those sections. Not¬ withstanding this, however, the planters made a large quantity of sugar acre. The Parishes of St. John the Baptist, St. Chailes and Jefferson suffered more for want of rain than any other portion of Louisiana, and most of the crops were a com¬ parative failure. Some few planters had crops of good ap¬ pearance, but the yield was far below that of other parishes. In the parishes of West and East Feliqiana a large planting has been made for the next crop, and therefore but a few acres of cane could be devoted to the manufacture of Sugar, as the year before they not only lost all their rattoons but some of the mats. Contrary to most other seasons our planters have succeeded in saving all their cane, although a good number of them had to stop many weeks to cut and haul wood. Fortu¬ nately for them, however, the cane kept well, and lost but little. There are, in all the State, 1481 Sugar Houses, and the product of the past season, as is shewn by actual computation, 46 amounts to 321,934 hogsheads ; taking into account the Cistern Sugar, equal to 368,129,000 pounds of all sorts. There are, in various Parishes, some new plantations in preparation for next year, and others for 1854. Of the 1481 Sugar-Houses in Louisiana, 943 are worked by steam power and 538 by horse power, the former power being continually on the increase. The yield of Molasses has been somewhat less than that of last year, on many plantations, though on the other hand others have produced a large quantity of the article; so that on a general average it may be estimated at 70 gallons $ 1000 pounds of Sugar, or 25,700,000 gallons as the entire crop. Fortunately there were but few crevasses to interfere with the past crop. Only two took place, one on the plantation of Mr. J. A. Livaudais, (now Edmond Fortier, Jr.) in the Parish of Orleans, destroying some few crops'-i-say those of Morifere Fazende, Pierre Hoa, J. B. Leprete, Dusseau Delacroix, Caliste Villerd, Jules Villere, P. & A. Villere, &c.; the other took place on Bayou Lafourche, few down, but was stopped after damaging a few crops. I have succeeded in obtaining such information as enables me to include in this work the crop of the State of Texas, a statement of which will be found on page 44. The Crop of Texas I do not understand as well as that of Louisiana, and cannot, therefore, speak very knowingly; but my information emanates from sueh a source as makes me confident the statement given is as nearly correct as can be, under the circumstances. The actual crop ought not to be considered to average more than 1000 fhs. hhd. We are informed that about four estates in that State will produce for the next crop, besides a few more on the Trinity river, in Liberty county, which produced very little this crop, having lost most of their cane by frost last year. In other respects we believe our introductory remarks can be as wrell applied to Texas as to Louisiana. P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New-Orleans, March 21, 1853. 47 OBSERVATIONS GENERATES. On voit par le rdsumb ci-dessus, que nous avons evalud le produit des fonds de citernes b. 5 pour cent par boucaut sur 275,671 boucauts, cette quantitd representant la proportion de la rdcolte faite par le procddd ordinaire de chaudibres decou- vertes. On voit aussi qu'en aonnant le chiffre de la recolte, nous n'avons tenu aucun compte du poids des boucauts, dont la capacitd varie autant que la qualitd. Nous croyons cepen- dant que le poids moyen est d'environ 1125 livres net par bou¬ cauts. Le produit total dc cinquante et une habitations fonctionnant d'aprbs les divejs nouveaux procedds et le vacuum, et montant & 32,480 boucauts, devrait dtre considdrd cotnme un article dis¬ tinct, car plusieurs de ces habitants, ne se bornent pas & Sex¬ ploitation de leur propre rdcolte ; ils travaillent aussi une quan¬ tity considerables de Sucres bruts et de ionds de citernes, pro- venant d'autres sources, qui plus tard reparaissent dans le mar- che, comme Sucre raffind, en pains ou en poudre, Sucre clari- fid, &c., et prdsentent ainsi une augmentation de ces dernibres qualitds, et diminuent d'autant la quantitd des Sucres bruts. La rdcolte de cette aunde est en gdndral d'une qualite supd- rieure, et donne en nombre de boucauts un total satisfaisant. La saison a dtd favorable sous plus d'un rapport, principalement sur le fleuve et le Bayou Lafourche, ou nous avons trouvd la eanne plus avancde que dans les Paroisses de la Rivibre Rbuge et des Opdlousas, les pluies abondantes du mois d'Aoht ayant nui b la maturitd parfaite dans ces dernibres sections du pays, et cepeudant le produit par arpent a dtd eonsiddrable. Lea Paroisses dc St. Jean Baptiste, St. Charles et Jefferson ont plus souffert de la sdcheresse qu'aucune partie de l'Etat, et la plu- part des rdcoltes y a oomparativement mal rdussi. Chez quel- ques planteurs les champs avaient une belle apparence, mais le produit fut bien audessous de celui des autres paroisses. Dans les Paroisses Est et Quest Feliciana, on a beaueoup plante pout- la recolte prochaine, et consequemment on n'a employe qu'un trbs petit nombre d'arpents de Cannes b la fabrication du Sucre, toutes les souches ayant dtd pevdues l'annde prdcedente, ainsi qu'une partie des matelas. Contre l'ordinaire des autres sai- sons, nos habitants ont rdussi it sauvetr toutes leurs cannes, quoique plusieurs furent obliges de s'arrdter quelques semaines pour faire du bois. Heureusement la canne se conserya bien, et presque rien ne fut perdu. 48 II y a dans tout l'Etat 1481 Sucreries, et le produit de la dernifere recolte se monte d'apres le relevd a. 321,934 boucauts, et en comptant les fonds de citernes, & un equivalent de 368,129,000 livres de tuutes sortes. Dans plusieurs Paroisses, il se prepare quelques nouvelles sucreries pour l'annee prochaine, et d'autres pour l'annee 1854. Des 1481 Sucreries de la Louisiane, 943 ont la vapeur, et 538 les chevaux pour force motrice; les premieres continuent il augmenter. La quantite de Melasses a dte cette annee moindre sur beaucoup d'habitations, tandis que sur d'autres elle a eld con¬ siderable ; on peut done l'evaluer it une moyenne de 70 gal¬ lons par 1000 livres de Sucre, ou 25,700,000 gallons pour la rdcolte entidre. La derniere recolte eut peu h souffrir des crevasses. II n'y en eut que deux; une sur l'habitation de Mr. J. A. Livaudais, (maintenant Edmond Fortier, Jr.,) dans la paroisse d'Orldans, qui detruisit quelques recoltes, savoir:—celle de Moridre Fa- zende, Pierre Hoar J. B. Leprdtre, Dussuau Delacroix, Caliste Villere, Jules Villere, F. & A. Villere, &c.; l'autre eut lieu dans le bas du Bayou Lafourche, et fut arretee aprds avoir causd quelques degats. J'ai reussi d. me procurer les renseignements necessaires pour pouvoir inclure dans cet ouvrage la Recolte de l'Etat du Texas ; on en trouvera le releve d. la Page 44. La rdcolte du Texas ne m'etant pas aussi familiere que celle de la Louisiane, je ne puis en parler avec la meme assurance ; mais je tiens mes renseignements de telle source, que je ne crains pas d'affirmer qu'ils sont en gendral aussi exacts, qu'on peut le desirer dans les circonstances actuelles. La rdcolte ne doit pas 6tre en moyenne evaluee &. plus de 1000 livres par boucaut. Nous avons appris qu'environ quatre Sucreries dans cet Etat seront en rapport la saison prochaine, ainsi que quelques autres sur la riviere Trinitd, dans Liberty County, qui ayant perdu leurs Cannes par la gelde, n'ont presque rien produit cette annde. Sous les autres rapports nos remarques sur la Louisiane peuvent dgalement s'appliquer au Texas. P. A. CHAMPOMIER. Nouvelle-Orldans, 21 Mqrs, 1853. 49 SUGAR TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES.

In presenting to his patrons this, his Seventh Report of the Sugar Crop of Louisiana, the undersigned begs leave to introduce the following REMARKS: The two last Sugar-making seasons have not differed from each other in any material points. Planters, generally, com¬ menced grinding a little sooner last Fall, than they did the year before; and, as might have been expected from the highly favorable character of the weather, for the growth and maturity of the cane during the whole season, obtained very satisfactory results. Under these circumstances, and considering the increased planting all over the Sugar Parishes, together with the remark¬ ably fine RatOon Cane, it is not at all surprising that the crop of the past season has proved to be large beyond precedent. In every section, indeed, there has been an increased yield, with the exception of that portion of the parish of St. Mary included in what is called the Indian and Irish Bends. In my journeyings through the Sugar-growing parishes, for the purpose of making my investigations, I found that the Cane fields all the way up the Mississippi river, as fax as Manchac, the Cane had been very much blown down, in consequence of the heavy rains and high winds which prevailed about the latter end of October; and this was also the case to a considerable extent on the Bayou Lafourche. On reaching the parish of Rapides, I found that all the planters had wind-rowed most of their fields as early as the 12th of November; and this was the case also in the parish of St. Landry. But for this, and the loss incurred from the blowing down of the Cane in the parishes referred to, the Crop would no doubt have exceeded even the very large aipount to which it attained. The plan of wind-rowing, although attended with some loss, is, on the whole, to be recommended in the upper parishes especially, as in the event of a heavy frost, Crops are saved which otherwise would, in all probability, prove a total loss. It will be seen from the foregoing, that so far as the season, and the yield from the Cane are concerned, the planters have had every reason to be well satisfied; but they have in other respects, however, met with many drawbacks, and some of a very serious character. Owing to the sickness which prevailed throughout the South during the Summer and Fall, the quantity of wood cut and sawed was veiy limited, so much so, in fact, that many planters have had to pay as high as 85 50 per cord for it; and to add to the difficulty, the price of coal, consequent upon the low stage of water in the Ohio, got up to $2 00 per barrel. The large increase of expenses incurred in manufacturing Sugar-, V resulting from these high rates of fuel, together with the greatly enhanced prices for Sugar hogsheads, and Molasses barrels, and the unusually high rates of freight, both up the Western Rivers and to all the Atlantic and Gulf Ports, have, in the aggregate been so enormous, as in some instances to exceed the actual returns, and throw the planter in debt. Formerly, Molasses paid a handsome profit, but the increased expenses and the unparal¬ leled low prices which have resulted from two such immense crops as the two last, have rendered it almost valueless to the planters. Without presuming to intrude my advice upon those who themselves should be so well informed on the subject, I will, nevertheless, venture the observation, that planters too fre¬ quently aim at producing too much, and consume both time and wood in boiling juice of a very inferior quality, by omitting to cut off a few joints of the tops of their Cane, and in which all must admit there is but a very limited quantity of sacharine matter. I give below the crop of each year, from 1844 to 1853, inclusive—a period of ten years: Crop of 1853..449,324 Hogsheads. Crop of 1848..220,000 Hogsheads.

INTRODUCTION, Lb Soussigne en presentant an pnblic son Septieme Rapport de la R£colte d n Sucre de la Louisiane, prend la liberie de soumettre les observations suivantes. Les den* deroieressaisons ont presente pen de difference dans la prodnction dn Sucre. En general, la ronlaison a commence pi a tot qne l'annee precedente, et avec tout le sncces qne l'on avait lien d'esperer du bean temps qni a prevalu dans le cours de l'annee- Si, dnn autre cflte, l'on tient compte de l'augmenta. tion de la culture dans tontes les paroisses sucrieres, et de la reussite des souches, on ne sera nullement snrpris de l'excedent de cette recolte sur toutes celles qui l'ont precedee. D y a en augmentation partout, excepte dans cette partie de la Faroisse Sainte Marie, connne sons le nom de Indian et Irish Bends. En faisant mes recherches dans les paroisses sncrieres, j'ai remarqne que sur les bords dn Mississippi, jusqu'a Manchac, les Cannes etaient en grande partie, affaisees par les vents et les plnies de la fin d'Octobre, et qu'il en etait de mfime an Bayon Lafourche. A mon arrivee aux Rapides j'ai appris que la majeure partie des Cannes avaient ete mises en grenier depuis le 12 Novembre; on avait fait de mfime dans la Paroisse St. Landry. Sans cela et la perte des Cannes abattues par le vent, la recolte anrait encore ete audela du chifire considerable qu'elle a atteint. Dans les paroisses superieures surtout, il serait pent toe avantageux d'adopter le plan de mettre en grenier malgre la perte qui en resulte, puisque en cas d'une forte gelee, on pent sanver des recoltes, qui sans ce moyen seraient presqn'entierement perdues. D'apres ce qni precede, on a pu voir que jnsqu'ici les planteuis ont en lieu d'etre satisfaits. Sons d'antres rapports cependant, ils ont en beaucoup de diffi¬ culty. Par suite desonaladies qui ont sevi dans le Sud pendant l'ete et Pan¬ tonine, la quantity de bois coupe a ete insuffisante; plnsieura se sont tronves dans la n€cessit€ de l'acheter a cinq piastres et demie la corde. D'nn autre cdte le prix du charbon s'est eleve a deux piastres le barril a cause ife la baisse des eaux de l'Ohio. L'ausmentation des frais de fabrication, resultant dn pnx eleve du combustible, les hauts prix des boucants de sucre et des barrils a melasse, et les taux eleves du frfet, tant sur les rivieres de l'Ouest que pour les ports de 1' Atlantique et du Golfe, ont absorbe la majeure partie du revenu et dans quelques cas laissg l'habitant endette. Autrefois la melasse donnait un beau rdsultat; mais l'augmentation des frais, et la baisse dn prix causee par l'abondance des deux dernieres recoltes, en ont fait nn produit de nulle valeur pour l'habitant. Sans pre tend re donner un avis sur ce snjet a ceux qni en ont dit faire une £tude speciale, je me permettrai cependant, de remarquer qne trop souvent dans le but d'ohtenir d'avantage, le sucrier perd du temps et consomme beaucoup de bois & faire bouillir un jus de qualitd inferieur, en ndgligeant d'enlever quelques noeuds du haut des Cannes, qui comme on le sait, ne donnent qu'un rendement insignifiant- Respectutusemcnt, P.

Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the sea shore; every plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. "The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first on the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted: W. B. Turnbull's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right . and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the dis¬ tances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New Iberia, where great quantities . of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

The total consumption of Foreign and Domestic Cane Sugar, in 18o3, is estimated 372,980lons, against 315,217 tons in 18j2, being an increase or5/',h2 tons, or a fraction over 18 'IP cent, in 1853. 46 GENIALjJLEMARKS. As I have already done in our previous publications, it will be seen by tbe foregoing resume, that I have estimated the pro¬ duce of the cistern bottoms at 5 per cent, upon 366,677 hogs- beads, representing the proportion of the crop made by the or¬ dinary process in open kettles. In giving the figure of the crop, I have paid no attention whatever to the weight of the hogs¬ heads, which vary so much, as well in capacity as in the qual- ity_ of their contents. In making my estimate of the total weight of the crop, I have taken for a basis, that portion of it as likely to produce an average of 1125 lbs. per hogshead, leaving the other qualities appear in my estimate as of so many thousand weight, as well as of so many hogsheads. I believe I do not 1 exceed the total weight of the crop. The produce of 76 plantations, worked under various new pro¬ cesses and the vacuum principle, and amounting to 64,324 hogs¬ heads, I consider as a separate article, as many of these planters do not confine themselves to the manufacture of their own crops alone, but also work brown Sugar and cistern bottoms, from other sources, which re-appear in the market changed in character, by so much increasing the refined, clarified, and other qualities, while they proportionately diminish the ordinary qualities. The crop this year in general has not been, in the view of many persons of superior quality. I think, however, that the abundance of the article rather than its actual quality, has de¬ preciated its estimated value; for the quantity has been satisfac¬ tory almost everywhere in Louisiana; although on many planta¬ tions, the return per acre has not been so large as was that of last season ; but the number of acres in cultivation, or the quantity to be taken to the mill, has been much more considerable, and having been carried thither with very little loss, in consequence of the very favorable winter which we have had—so favorable that up to this day, one of our planters is still making Sugar with cane which he assures me is still very good, observing, however, that the eye of the cane had been killed before being put in the wind-row. In traversing the sugar parishes, I found that many small planters had abandoned the" cultivation of the cane, and that even some pretty large plantations were substituting cotton for it; for really the prices of Sugar are so low, that it is not even worth the trouble of cultivating the fields for them. I found, then, in operation this year only 1437 Sugar Houses, that produced, according to the statement I have made of them, some 449,324 hogsheads, including the cistern bottoms, which I estimate at 495,156,000 pounds, of all sorts. . Of the 1437 Sugar Houses which I found to have produced, this crop, 9§6 use steam, and 481 horseS, as their'motive power. - The quantity of Molasses, without being more abundant per acre, fhan was that of last year, is nevertheless very large, and, I cannot estimate it less than 31,000,000 gallons, which I am sorry to say, affords but little satisfaction to many of our planters. 47 The crop of Texas is not so familiar to me, as that of Lotiis- iana> It will he found given on- page 43 of my boob. Accord¬ ing to the information that I have received from, good sources, +i?r0P Sugar in that State, has not succeeded nearly as well as that of Louisiana; and many of the planters whom I have on my table for this year, have already abandoned its cultiva- i° j £ 4 year we are now entering. So that I con¬ clude that, at all events, before long hence, that State will pro- duce only very little Sugar, and Florida not more. P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New Orleans, 21st April, 1854. OBSERVATIONS CENERALES. Comme je'l'ai fai dans mes precedentes publications on voit par le resume ci-devant, que j'ai evalue le produit des fonds deciternes a cinq pour cent sur 366,677 boucauts. Cette quantite representant la proportion dela recolte faite par le proeede ordinaire de chaudieres decouvertes, en donnant le chiffre de la recolte, je n'ai nullement fait attention au poids des boucauts, qui varient beaucoup, tant en capacite qu'en qualite. En faisant mon evaluation du poid totale de la recolte j'ai, prispour base cette partie de recolte comme devant faire une moyenne de 1125 livres par boucaut, laissant les autres qualites figurer dans mon estime pour autant de milliers que de boucauts, je ne pense pas aller au-dessus du poid de la recolte totale. Le produit de 76 habitatibns fonctionnant d'apres les divers nouveaux pro- cedes et le vacuum, et montant a 64,324 boucauts, je considere comme un article a part, plusieurs de ces habitants ne se bornant pas seulement a Sexploi¬ tation de leur recolte, mais travaillent aussi une certaine quantite de sucres bruts et des fonds de citernes, provenant d'autres sources, qui reparaissent dans le marche change de nature, augmentant d'autant les ratings, clarifies et autres en diminuant les ordinaires dans des proportions analogues. La Recolte de cette annee en general n'a pas ete aux yeux de plusieursi d'une qualite superieure, je pense pourtant que l'abondance de Particle l'a plutOt d-sapprecie que sa qualite reelle, car la quantite a ete a peu pres satis-, faisante partout en Louisiane, quoiqu'en beaucoup d'habitations le rendement par arpent n'a pais ete aussi fort qu'a la roulaison precedents, mais le nombre en culture ou a rouler, etant beaucoup plus considerable, et passe au moulin avec tres peu de perte, l'hiver ayant ete tres favorable a tel point qu'a ce jour un de nos habitants fait encore du sucre avec la canne qu'il m'a dit etre encore fort bonne, m'observant cependant quel'oeilde la canne etait tue avant d'etre mise en windrow. J'ai trouve en parcourant les paroisses sucrieres que plusieures petits habitants avaient renonce a la culture de la canne, et mfime d'assez fortes habitations vont peut-Stre seremettre au cotoh, car reellement les prix du Sucre sont tellement bas qu'il ne vaut pas la peine de cultiver les champs. Je n'ai done trouve que 1437 sucreries qui oiit produit d'apres le releve que j'en ai fait 449,324 boucauts en comptant les fonds de citernes, que j'evalue a 495,156,000 livres de toutes sortes. 48 Des 1437 sucreries que j'ai tronve avoir prodoit cette recolte, 936 ont la vapeur, et 481 lea chevaux pour force motrice. La quantite de Melasses sans etre plus abondante par arpent que l'annee precedente n'en est pas moins tres forte, et ne peu pas l'evaluer a moins de 31,000,000 de gallons, que je suis fache de le dire ne rapportent que fort peu de chose & beaucoup de nos planteurs. La recolte de Texas ne m'e3t pas aussi familiere que celle de la Louisiane. Elle se trouve a page 43 de mon livre. D'apres les informations que j'ai puise de bonnes sources la recolte de Sucre dans cet Etat, n'a pas reussi a beau- coup pres au3si bien qu'en Louisiane, et plusieurs des habitants que j'ai sur mon tableau de cette annee ont deja abandonne pour l'annee dans laquelle nous entrons, de.siwfe que je conclus que du moins de longtPmps encore cet Etat ne produira' que peu de sucre, et les Florides pas d'avantage, >■ P.

ForstalVs Diary.—Sugar Cane Plant. Parish St. James, March 81, 1853. Opened a furrow between two rows of canes, put in a tract of guano, and covered the same by plough ; prepared in the same manner twenty-five arpents, using about two hundred and twenty pounds of guano to each arpent. Same Date—Opened a furrow close to each row of canes, each side ; applied the guano in the same manner, and putting in the same quantity as above on twenty-five arpents. Note.—The above two pieces of land are selected for an experiment, because of their requiring renovation, and being used this season, not to lose extra plant canes remaining. April 6, 1853. Corn—Applied to each hole, one handful of guano cover¬ ing the same, sowed six arpents corn. Same Date—.Orchard.—Prepared a circular ditch, one feot deep of the diameter of eaqh tree; put in a tract of guano, and filled up the ditch with earth. 51 Result in March, 1854. The above fifty arpents of guano canes turned out the largest and heaviest canes in the field, and produced first and second clarified sugars 2,500 pounds per arpent. On the same ground I had never before obtained more than 1000 pounds per arpent, and tne canes were always small compared to other parts of the field. This season it was the reverse for both stand and size, and the returns promise unusually well. With guano, I feel convinced no rotation of crop is required to produce the finest and heaviest canes in Louisiana. The canes with guano near each row, were comparatively the best, and ripened earlier. My corn field produced in an average twenty barrels to the arpent. The five arpents of guano corn, accurately measured, produced forty-five barrels to the arpent. The orchard had never produced but very poor fruit, and always gummy with abundance of worms. With the guano it produced an unusually large crop of delicious peaches, free from worms and gum; and some very old pear trees, which had never produced before, gave a few fine pears.

Guano on Plant Cane.—Selected my worst coco lands in four different parts of the field, on which I never had beert able to obtain a large cane and a good stand. Opened furrovre close to each row—six feet apart—put in a tract of guano, say one hundred and fifty pounds per arpent; covering the same by plough, in twenty-five arpents ; had a good shower imme¬ diately after. June 3, 1853.—On this day no difference perceivable, added one hundred and fifty pounds guano per arpent. June 16, 1853.—Difference between the guano canes and the other plants in the field quite apparent, being of a deep green and fully one foot higher than all other canes. August 1, 1853.—Never saw a heavier stand and higher canes in this State than the guano canes on this day. December 15, 1853.—Ground five arpents of the above canes which weighed ten beaume whilst other canes in the field only weighed eight and a half. These produced two thou¬ sand pounds to the arpent, of refined sugar. Bad weather and the twisted condition of the canes prevented my ascertaining accurately the yield of the balance of the twenty-five arpents. 52 June 16, 1853.—Ratoons—Applied as an experiment two hundred pounds guano to two arpents of inferior ratooos; rain came on immediately after. Note.—These ratoons soon afterwards shooted out rapidly and produced double the quantity of canes of other ratoons in the same piece and double the size. March 16, 1854.—The guano ratoons have already a full stand, and are comparatively the finest in the field, so much so, that I am preparing to apply some guano, to as large a portion of the ratoons, as I may be permitted to do. It will afford me great pleasure if the above extracts can be useful to you. I am, respectfully, ED. J. FORSTALL GUANO. Lucien Labranche Plantation, ) Parish Jefferson, Feb. 12, 1854. | Messrs. Castillo Harispe, New Orleans: Gentlemen—We have to return you many thanks for your kindness in sending us, in January, 1853, five sacks of guano from the Chincha Islands, that we might give the article a trial on our plantation, and we embrace this opportunity to inform you of the result obtained by its application to four arpents of land. The canes were placed in wind-row on the 24th Decem¬ ber last, and were ground on the 6th instant, by the usual process. The cane juice, after remaining three hours, weighed ten and a quarter degrees, and the four arpents yielded ten and a half hogsheads of sugar, weighing twelve hundred pounds net per hogshead. The quality of the sugar is very fine. With a view of comparison, we manured four arpents of land of the same quality as the preceding and immediately adjacent, with stnble dung, and the yield was as follows : The canes were apparently as fine as those planted in the lands treated with guano. We placed them in windrow, and ground them at the same time with the others. The juice yielded eight and a half degrees, and the product was two and two thirds hogheads, of twelve hundred pounds to the hogshead, per arpent—the sugar being not as fine as the previous specimen by half cent per pound.

In presenting to his Patrons this, his Eighth Report of the Sugar crop of Louisiana, the undersigned begs leave to introduce the following remarks. The last season, both for the growth of cane and the manufac¬ turing of Sugar, has materially differed from the three proceeding ones in more than one respect. During last spring, in every section of the State where cane is cultivated, the spontaneous growth and beautiful appearance of the stubble or rattoons, and the fair average of seed cane put in the ground, led to the belief then, and also during the early part of the summer, that the growing crop would even surpass the pre¬ ceding one, which was by far, the largest that Louisiana had ever produced. If we look to the falling off of the yield as compared with the fond anticipations and hopeful expectations of the Planters, we must particularly have reference to the season the plant has gone through and the vicissitudes it experienced. The past season has been generally characterised throughout many sections of the State by a wet spring, an excessive drought during the summer, and copious and incessant rains during the latter part of August, the whole of September, and part of Oc¬ tober. This remark will not apply to all the parishes, however— Thus—Lafourche Interior, Terrebonne, St. Bernard, and Plaque mines may perhaps have had too much rain during the summer,— but as a general rule, the drought prevailed in Louisiana as well as in the greater part of the Southern and Western States; thus the lux - uriant growth of cane in the spring, alluded to above, received a check during the long prevailing drought, a check, which could hardly be removed, even by dint of the best culture, and, at a season also, when receiving copious showers, the earth should have given vigorous and quick impetus to the growing crop. This disastrous drought was all at once succeeded by incessant and abundant rains, which, falling at a season of the year, when cane, having ob¬ tained its growth, should have been undergoing the usual and natural process of maturing. As a matter of course the prepara¬ tions for taking off the crop, were delayed by these untoward causes; yet, in the first days of November, nearly every planta- A VI tion assumed the busy appearance attendant on the Sugar making season, and, as a matter of general observation, the yield of the cane was found at first to be very poor. On the night of 13th No¬ vember happened the first frost, to which I wish to devote a spe¬ cial paragraph. This frost, although not a very severe one, did kill the cane in almost every section of the State, and being followed by a succes¬ sion of others, caused the greatest damage. It is a case worth notic¬ ing, for it seems to me that I have seen severer frosts than this, and yet, less injury produced from them. From that day the greater part of the standing cane was put in windrow, but very luckily the weather continued dry and cold. I must therefore congratulate our Sugar Planters on their good fortune in securing their crops in windrow, with perhaps as little, or indeed less loss, than was ever done any year before. To the frost on the 13th day of November, I attribute the fall¬ ing off in the Sugar crop of Louisiana; had it occurred a month later, I entertain not the slightest degree of doubt but that Loui¬ siana would have made a crop of Sugar fully equal to the preceding one, and for these few simple reasons : it is a matter within the knowledge of all, that there was last year a larger amount of cane in the ground than during any year previous—that the stubbles or rattoons presented a most beautiful appearance, as observed be¬ fore, and gave hopes of a more than usual yield, and lastly, the plant cane, the main reliance of the crop, was also, in size and ap¬ pearance, not inferior to that of any other year- Both rattoons and plants, the latter in the greatest ratio, experienced, by the frost, in their state of immaturity a check which at once indicated the severity of the injury, and blighted the hopes of the most san¬ guine. The full grown, well developed cane was there, but the saccharine matter was not to be found in any great abundance. So far as regards the quality of the manufactured Sugar it is undoubt¬ edly very far superior to the three last crops, and according to my judgment, nearly, or equally as good, as the very short crop of 1849-50, with perhaps a smaller quantity of inferior grades than at any year previous. As will be seen on perusal of my Boob, the Parishes of St. Charles, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines have vn produced less than the others, as compared with the years preced¬ ing, and as a matter not to he overlooked by the Planters, I shall here incidentally mention that the manufacture of Sugar was in these Parishes protracted to so late a period, as to interfere with the cultivation of the growing crop, which, at that season, more than any other, required attention and care. Some Planters, as late as the first of May, had not put a plough in their stubbles, and from that cause, or any other, it is no less true that the Parishes, above named, show a greater falling off than others. I have never tried to raise the veil of futurity, and therefore can hardly prophecy on coming events. It has been hitherto the case that our Planters have complained, sometimes without a cause, of their prospects for a growing crop; but this year, I am in duty bound to say, that, from the most reliable sources, I am informed that the planting will, in all parts of the State, fall very short, and that, such seed as has been put in the ground, is of a very inferior nature, and believed by many Planters to be utterly worthless. As regards the rattoons, it is perhaps premature to decide as to their quality; some Planters affirm them to be diy, and deprived of all vitality, and also to be affected in the root in the same man - ner as in the stalk; be it as it may, I can but hope they will prove good, as Planters will need them much to make the forth- comingcrop. As a general rule, no large crop can be made in Loui¬ siana without a due propoition of plant cane, and should this fail, it must be borne in mind that it is to be provided for by the put- ing up of a larger quantity of seed. In view of all these considerations, I therefore should not be at all surprised to have a short crop to report upon in 1855-56, should I live to see it secured. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. INTRODUCTION, Le Soussigne en prbsentant a pes abonnbs son Huitibme Tableau Annuel de la Recolte de Sucre de la Louisiane croit devoir le faire prbcbder des observations suivantes. Sous plus d'un rapport, la saison qui vient de s'ecouler a es- scntiellement diflbrb des trois precedentes, tant dans la vbgbta- tion de la canne que dans la fabrication du Sucre. Au printemps dernier, dans toute la region sucribre de l'fitat, la vbgbtation spontanbe des cannes et leur belle apparence, ainsi que celle du plant en genbral, donnbrent alors et plus tard dans 1'btb lieu d'esperer que la rbcolte pourrait bien surpasser la prbcedente la plus forte qui ait jamais bte faite en I,ouisiane. Pour se rendre compte de la faiblesse de cette rbcolte contre l'attente des planteurs, il faut avoir egard a la saison, et aux vicissitudes eprouvbes par la canne. Dans diverses parties de l'fltat, la saison dernibre s'est fait principalement remarquer par un printemps pluvieux ou hu- mide, suivi d'une sbcheresse excessive pendant l'bte, et de pluies abondantes et continuelles depuis la fin d'Aotit jusqu'au com¬ mencement d'Octobre; ceci cependant ne s'applique pas a toutes les Paroisses : ainsi, Lafourche Interieure, Terrebonne, St. Bernard et Plaquemines n'ont peut-etre pas eu trop de pluie pendant l'btb ; mais en gbnbral la sbcheresse a prbvalu dans la Louisiane, ainsi que dans la plupart des 6 tats du Sud et de l'Ouest. Ainsi la vbgbtation de la canne se trouva arretbe par la sbcheresse, sans qu'il fht possible d'y rembdier, et precisb- ment dans le temps ou des pluies abondantes etaient indispen- sables pour hater la vbgbtation. A cette sbcheresse desastreuse succedbrent des pluies continuelles au moment oil la canne aprbs avoir atteint la croissance ordinaire aurait du miirir.— Par suite de ces contretemps, on retarda les prbparatifs ordi- naires pour faire la recolte, cependant dbs les premiers jours de Novembre, presque toutes les habitations presentment 1'ac- X tivite ordinaire, et on s'aper£ut que la canne ne produisait que fort peu. Dans la nuit du 13 Novembre survint la premiere gelde: circonstance qui merite un paragraphe special. Cette gelee quoique legkre fit pdrir la canne dans presque tout l'Etat, et elle fut suivie de plusieurs autres qui causerent de grands degats. Circonstance d'autant plus remarquable, car j'ai auparavant vu de plus fortes gelees suivies de rdsultats moins ddsastreux. Dks ce jour la majeure partie des Cannes fut mise en windrow, et le temps s'dtant mis au sec et au froid, les habitants purent se feliciter d'avoir mis leur rdcolte k cou- vert avec moins de perte, peut-etre, que dans aucune annee precedente. La gelee du 13 Novembre est, selon moi, la cause dela faible rdcolte de Sucre dans la Louisiane. Si elle etait survenue un mois plus tard, je ne doute nullement que la Louisiane n'eht produit une aussi forte rdcolte que l'annke precedente; et cela simplement par les raisons suivantes: II est k la connaissance de tout Ie monde, que l'annee dernikre on a mis beaucoup plus de plant en terre que dans aucune annee prdc£dente, que les souches, comme je viens de le dire, avaient une fort belle ap- parenGe, et promettaient plus que de coutume; et qu'enfin le plant, le principal espoir de la recolte, n'etait nullement infe- rieur aux annkes precedentes. Les souches, et surtout les plants, atteints par la gelde, donnkrent aussitkt des signes evi¬ deo ts du mal qu'ils avaient subi, les cannes quoique bien deve- loppdes ne rendant que peu de Sucre. Quant au Sucre fabri- quk, la qualitk en est meilleure sans doute, que celle des trois rdcoltes prkckdentes, et k mon avis aussi bonne que celle de la faible rkcolte de 1849-50, avec moins de qualitks infkrieures que par le passk. On verra par le Tableau, que les Paroisses St. Charles, Jef¬ ferson, Orleans, St. Bernard et Plaquemines ont moins fait que les autres relativement aux annkes prkckdentes, et k ce sujet je signalerai un fait qui mkrite de fixer l'attention des habitants. C'est qne dans les Paroisses que je viens de nommer on avait XI retarde la fabrication du Sucre au point de negliger la culture de la rdcolte sur pied, qui alors plus que jamais exige beaucoup de soins et d'attention. Meme au premier Mai quelques habi¬ tants n'avaient pas encore passe la charrue dans leurs souches. Par suite de cette cause ou de toute autre, le deficit dans ces Paroisses a dtd plus considerable qu'ailleurs Je n'ai jamais enterpris de soulever le voile de l'avenir, et je ne pretends pas ici prevoir ce qu'il peut nous reserver. Sou- vent il est arrivd & nos planteurs de se plaindre sans raison de la mauvaise apparence de leurs recoltes ; mais cette annee je dois dire que d'tiprbs des renseignments dignes de foi, on a beaucoup moins plantd dans tout l'fitat; que le plant mis en terre est infdrieur, et n'est bon & rien selon quelques-uns.— Quant aux souches, il est peut-etre trop tot pour dmettre une opinion; quelques-uns les croient seches et ddpourvues de sfeve dans la racine comme dans la tjge: quoiqu'il en soit, esperons qu'elles reussiront, car elles seront indispensables a la prochaine rdcolte. En general on ne peut faire de forte rdcolte en Loui- siane, sans une certaine proportion de plant, et quand les souches viennent &, manquer, il faut alors les remplacer par une augmentation de plants. D'aprbs ces aperqus, je ne serais nullement surpris d'avoir a enregistrer une faible rbcolte pour 1855-56, s'il m'est donne de vivre jnsqu'a cette epoque. JRespectueusement, P. A. CHAMPQMIER. EXPLANATION. Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the seashore; every plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first on the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. "West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted: W. B. Turnbull's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the dis¬ tances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

GENERAL REMARKS. I have to state that in making np my recapitula tion of the total amount of the crop I have changed my estimate of the Cistern Sugar, which change makes some difference in the total, as compared with previous crops. This new estimate has not resulted from a con¬ viction that the actual product of the Cistern Sugar was in less proportion in the last crop than in several previous ones. On the contrary my impression is that it has exceeded in amount the proportion of the two crops immediately preceding this last. It is strenu¬ ously contended, however, by a majority of the Plan¬ ters, that the ratio of 5 ^ cent, heretofore employed by me, has always been too high, and in deference to their better means of reaching a correct result I have been induced to change the ratio to 3 ^ cent, in all cases where the Planters have not given the actual amount in the return of their crops. In my statements of the product of each Plantation I have paid no regard whatever to the size of the' hogsheads, or the quality of their contents, though it is, of course, well known to all that there are mate¬ rial variations in both particulars. In cases, however, where the product of Planters could not be given in hogsheads I have extended their crops at an estimate of 1000 pounds ^ hogshead. In making my estimate of the total amount of the crop in pounds I have concluded, after proper inves¬ tigation, to adopt the average of 1150 pounds W hogs¬ head, without regard to quality, in all cases except 44 those where the estimate has been made at 1000 pounds ^ hogshead, as stated above. This is a larger average than I have used in my estimates of previous crops, and has been made necessary by the fact that Planters have been induced to increase the size of their hogsheads because of the more ready sale of large packages, as experience has shown, compared with smaller ones. The average quality of the last crop has been much higher than that of the previous one, and it has, con¬ sequently, held out better in weight, the drainage having been much less. The product of sixty-two Plantations, worked by the vacuum and other new processes, and amounting to 44,659 hogsheads, I class as a distinct and separate ar¬ ticle, some being refined, clarified, &c. Only a few Planters, however, work any Sugars or Cistern Sugars other than those of their own production. I find, upon investigation, that even a much larger number of Planters than I had supposed have, at least for the present, abandoned the culture of Sugar and resumed that of Cotton. This, however, has only ta¬ ken place in the interior Parishes, where the usual pre¬ valence of low waters deprives the Planters of a mar¬ ket at the most desirable periods, and thus leaves them without the advantages of a choice in regard to the time of sale, and the price, which the River Planters enjoy. I have only found in operation this year 1324 Sugar- Houses, against 1437 the year before, and these have 45 produced 346,635 hogsheads Sugar, of all sizes and qua¬ lities, including the Cistern Bottoms, the whole weigh¬ ing, according to my estimate 385,227,000 pounds. Of the Plantations that have produced this crop 948 use steam and 390 use horses as their motive power. The quantity of Molasses this year has been consi¬ derably less with some Planters than was made in each of the three preceding crops, though some others have made a pretty large quantity of the article. I have therefore concluded sixty gallons ^ 1000 pounds of Sugar to be about a fair estimate, which would give a a total of 23,113,620 gallons against 31,000,000 the year previous. T E X A S.—The Sugar Crop of Texas promised a good yield up to the 20th September, when the most violent storms that ever visited .the Coast of Texas, prostrated the canes and damaged many of the Sugar Houses. The crops of Matagorda and Wharton were much shortened by this disaster, and those of Brazoria reduced greatly. The windrowed cane yielded poorly. The seed cane kept badly, and will not suffice to plant a full crop.— The ratoon promises scarcely as well as usual. The cultivation of this crop is not increased by the change from Cotton to Sugar, yet the yield can be in¬ creased annually by extending the cultivation on the estates in Sugar. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New-Orleans, March 20, 1855. OBSERVATIONS G&N&RALES. Je ferai ici remarquer qu'en recapitulant le chiffre de la re- colte, j'ai change l'Evaluation des fonds de citernes, ce qui fait une difference dans la totalite, relativement aux recoltes prece- dentes. Tout en adoptant cette nouvelle Evaluation, je ne suis nullement convaincu que la proportion du produit des fonds de citernes ait diminuE; je pense au contraire, que ce produit a du, cette annee, excEder celui des deux dernieres lEcoltes.— Beaucoup de planteurs soutiennent que la moyenne de cinq pour cent que j'avais jusqu'ici employee, a toujours ete trop forte, et pour parvenir & un resultat plus correct, je me suis dEcidE a reduire l'Evaluation h. trois pour cent dans tons les cas oh le chiffre exact n'a pas ete donne par le planteur lui-mEme. Dans le produit de chaque habitation, je n'ai nullemeut tenu compte de la grandeur des boucauts, ni de la qualitE du Sucre, quoique tout le monde sache qu'il y a toujours des variations notables ii ce sujet. Dans les cas oh je n'ai pu obtenir le nom- bre des boucauts j'en ai fait l'estimation, sur la moyenne de mille livres par boucaut. Dans l'Evaluation du poids total de la recolte, je me suis de¬ cide a adopter la moyenne de 1150 livres par boucaut, sansac- ception de qualitE dans tous les cas, excepte ceux oh j'avais dejh, comme je viens de le dire, EvaluE h mille livres par bou- caut. Cette evaluation plus forte que les precEdentes Etant de- venue nEcessaire, les planteurs Etant convaincus par 1'expE- rience que les forts boucauts sont d'un debit plus facile et plus avantageux que les petits. La qualitE de la derniEre rEcolte est en gEnEral meilleure que la prEcEdente, et par consEquent la perte en poids beaucoup moindre par le coulage. II y a soixante deux habitations exploitEes par le vacuum ou autres nouveaux procEdEs, dont le produit montant a 44,659 boucauts, doit-etre classE comme un article h part, tel que Sucre rafflnE, clarifiE, etc. Peu de planteurs, cependant, tra- vaillent d'autres Sucres, ou fonds de citernes, que ceux de leur propre crh. D'hpres mes informations je vois que le nombre des habitants qui ont, pour le prEsent, abandonnE la culture de la canne pour reprendre celle du coton est plus considErable, que je ne l'avais d'abord suppose : ceci cependant n'a guEre eu lieu que dans les Paroisses de 1'intErieur oh la baisse ordinaire des eaux prive le planteur d'un marchE a l'Epoque la plus avantageuse, et ne lui laisse aucun choix dans le temps de la vente ou dans le prix, avantage dont les habitans des bords du fleuve peuvent toujours tirer parti. 47 Je n'ai trouvd cette annde que 1324 Sucreries en operation, contre 1437 l'annee precddente, et elles ont produit 346,635 boucauts de toutes grandeurs et qualites, y compris les fends de citernes ; le tout pesant, selon mon estimation, 385,227,000 livres, Dans Sexploitation de la rdcolte, sur 948 habitations on a employe des machines & vapeur ; et sur 390 on s'est servi de chevaux, comme force motrice. La quantite de Melasses a dtd moindre chez quelques plan- teurs que dans chacune des trois annees prdeddentes, bien que quelques-uns en aient fait une assez grande quantitd, je me suis en consequence, arrete !d une moyenne de soixante gallons par millier de livres. Ce qui me donnerait un total de 23,113,620 gallons contre les 31,000,000 de l'annde derniere. TEXAS.—La rdcolte de Sucre du Texas promettait beau- coup jusqu'au vingt Septembre, epoque &, laquelle la plus vio- lente tempete qui ait jamais visitd les cotes du Texas, vint bouleverser les rdcoltes et endommager plusieurs sucreries.— Les rdcoltes des comles de Matagorda et Wharton ont dte moindres par ces ddsastres, et celles de Brazoria reduites de beaucoup. La canne mis en windrow n'a pas bien rendu portde au mou- lin Le plant mis en matelats, comme en Louisiane, ne s'est pas conservd, et sera insuffisant pour planter une recolte en- tifere; les souch.es promettent peine aussi bien que de cou- tume. La culture de la canne n'a pas augmente par le changement de Coton au Sucre. Cependant une augmentation graduelle en quantite doit avoir lieu, par le fait seul que chaque habita¬ tion qui cultive la canne s'accroit chaque annde. Bespectueusement, P. A. CHAMPOMIER.

I RAIOS' NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM OF SUGAR MAKING. 0 The Undersigned, Agent for the United States of America, of Ramos' New and Improved System of Sugar Making, had the honor, by circnlar dated December 28,1852, and by advertisements in the public papers of this City, to offer to the attention of Sugar Planters generally, the resnlt of the pnblic trial made on the plantation of William F. Mason, Esq., sitijated in Jefferson Parish, three miles above Carrollton, of the New System, in competi¬ tion with the old mode of making Sugar, by which it was shewn—that 30,144 (, ] gallons of cane juice, manufactured on the old system, produced 20,889 pounds of Sugar, and 1298 gallons of Molasses, which Sugars were sold on the Lqvee, on the 15th of December, at 3% cents per pound, and the Molasses at 20 cents per gallon, realizing 41,016 82,—and thatHhe same quantity of cane juice- namely 30,144 gallons, manufactured by Ramos' System, produced 23,388 pounds of Sugar, and 1245 gallons of Molasses, which were sold on the same day on the Levee, at 4% cents per pound for the Sugar, and 20 cents per gallon for the Molasses, realizing 41,213 75,—the actual difference in money obtained between the respective lots of Sugar and Molasses, being 4196 93, which aver' ages 49 7-16 per hogshead of 1000 pounds, giving 19% per cent, gross profit; but as the adoption of this System does not involve any additional expense to the Planter, except an outlay of about 4300 for the Apparatus, and on the contrary, on those Plantations where one hand is used to each kettle, one hand is saved, and the labor of the general management of the range is much easier, the per¬ centage mqst be calculated on the nett proceeds of the crop, in order to ^cer¬ tain the real gain; thus taking as an average 25 per cent as the expense of a Plantation, the nett profits in the present case would be 25 6-8 per cent, as an increased quantity of produoe is made without an increased expense. My absence from Louisiana, during the prevalence of the epidemic of 1853, prevented my making arrangements for the adoption of the Ramos System during that year, excepting on the Plantation of Messrs. J. W. & S. McCut- chon; but during the past year, it has been adopted on the Plantations of Mr. Juan Y. db Egana, Judge Rost, Mr. W. W. Pugh, Mr. J. A. Dougher¬ ty, Mr. J. Davis, Jr.; Mr. Charles Collins, Major John M. Huger, Judge John Black, and Messrs. S. D. McCutchon & Co., and has given satisfactory results. There is not space in the limits of-this notice, for the Cei- tificates which have been handed me by gentlemen who have used the Ramos System, but I can show them to any one who feels an interest in seeing them. In order to make it the interest of Planters generally to adopt the System, I have determined to reduce the price at which I offered'to sell the patent right in my previous circular, from 43 50 to 41 per hogshead; consequently, for the sum of One Dollar for every hogshead of 1000 pounds of Sugar made in one crop alone, I will give the Planter the right of using the invention ever after, without any further charge, and the terms of payment will be made accommo¬ dating. Any one desirous of purchasing the privilege on the above terms, will be furnished with a Lithographic Draft of the Apparatus, and printed instructions for mounting it, and in due season, Mr. RaMOb' Instructions for the use of his System, on application to the Undersigned, personally, or by letter addressed to the care, either, of Messrs.

In presenting to his patrons this his ninth Report of the Sugar Crop of Louisiana the undersigned begs leave to intro¬ duce the following remarks. The last season has differed materially from the preceding one, particularly in the period usually devoted to taking off the crop. Last spring was so extraordinarily dry that most of the Cane put in the ground as plant Cane perished even after it had vegetated. Some few sections only of the Sugar-growing Parishes were favored with occasional showers in the spring, and the crops in those sections gave better promise than those in other parts of the State. But even in these the yield was not full, as the summer and fall were not of a favorable char¬ acter for the growing and maturing of the Cane, and many planters who had crops of fair appearance found upon grinding and boiling that the actual yield of Sugar per acre was unusu¬ ally small. Indeed the plant Cane, which is the main reliance of the planter, seems to have been a comparative failure throughout the State, and the small crop made in the State this season has been mostly saved from the rattoons or stubbles. The taking off the crop has been very severe upon the planter. At the beginning of the grinding there proved to be little or no Sugar in the juice. The Cane was not ripe, and the wet winter and the unusually large amount of fuel required per hogshead were great drawbacks upon the planter; so much so that many of these have lost a good portion of their crops; some for want of fuel, others because, finding little or no saccharine matter in their Cane, they preferred to delay taking off their crops, even at the risk of losing a part. Some planters did not begin making Sugar before the 20th day of December, at which date the great majority of the others had finished rolling. Whether or not they are satisfied with the result I have not inquired into, but it seems to me that delay¬ ing rolling to a late period in Louisiana is an unsafe policy. It is, in my opinion, better to make sure of a little than to run so great a risk in the hope of more. The frost which we had on the night of the 23d October, although not very severe, did a vast deal of injury in the Par¬ ishes of St. John Baptist, St. James, Ascension, Iberville, East and West Baton Rouge, East and West Feliciana, Point Coupde, Avoyelles and Rapides. In these Parishes they had a season VI shorter by two months than in the others, where the Cane was perfectly sound up to the night of 25th December, on which night thick ice was formed, the ground was frozen, and a " cold term" was entered upon of longer duration than we ever before experienced in this latitude, it having continued, with variations of temperature and with frequent rains, up to the middle of February. In several previous years, as in 1835, 1852, &c., the temperature, for a day or so, has fallen to a lower point, but probably so great an aggregate of cold was never known in any previous winter in Louisiana. The cold¬ est period was the morning of ihe 4th February, when the mercury fell to within 20 degrees of zero, but it was down as low as 24 to 25 degrees in several periods in January. Many planters had not finished making Sugar when the severe weather set in, and all such have had their crops materially curtailed by these untoward occurrences. While the first named Parishes were almost entirely paral¬ yzed on the 24th October, yet their Cane was not frozen to the ground, but in cases where it had not been windrowed it kept sprouting and was thus prevented from ripening, while that which was windrowed could make nothing but Molasses. To this frost in October I attribute in a great degree the large falling off in the crop of Sugar in this Slate. I never believed in a large crop, knowing the deficiency there was in the plant cane, as I am satisfied that Louisiana never can make a full crop out of rattoons, but I was not prepared to believe that our planters would realize so little from the plant cane as seems to have been generally the case. With very few excep- ceptions the yield from the plant cane has proved very inferior, even with those who delayed rolling to the very last, and it is my'impression that they have not gained much if anything by putting off rolling to so late a period. On the contrary I am convinced that some of them are losers by such a course. With respect to the coming crop, I am sorry to say that it is the general impression that all the fall planting, of which there is a great deal done in all our upper Parishes, is a total loss. Such as had already come out of the ground is entirely rotten, while that planted later is not thought to be in a much better condition, though some planters have more confidence in their light sandy lands than in those that are low, wet and stiff. However, to use the language of one of our sagacious planters, " Keep cool on this subject for a few weeks. You can tell nothing before the middle of May about it. It may be as bad as represented, but I am not quite prepaied to be¬ lieve it at present." For my part I hope that those who are VII bo desponding may be agreeably disappointed, and find the result better than they anticipate. I am informed that most of the planters of Rapides are ploughing up their first year's stubbles and the fall planting to put in Cotton. This is also said to be the case with some planters in the Feliciana Parishes and even in those of Baton Rouge, but to what extent I have not yet learned. With regard to the plant Cane, it is also spoken of as being badly spoiled by nearly all planters in the State, but few of whom have good seed. And another very unfavorable feature is the lateness of the spring, which has thus far proved so wet that planters have scarcely done anything. They can neither plough nor plant. Even the Corn that some had put in the ground I am told will have to be replanted. Taking all things into consideration I shall not be at all surprised if I have again a short crop to report upon in 1856—57. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. INTRODUCTION. Le soussign^ en prbsentant & ses abonnes son neuvibme Tableau Annuel de la Recolte de Sucre de la Louisiane, croit devoir le faire prbcbder des observations suivantes. La dernibre saison a notablement difTere de la precedente, principalement pendant la pbriode consacree Si Sexploitation de la recolte. La s^cheresse extraordinaire du printemps dernier fit pbrir le plant aprbs un commencement de vegetation. TJne petite partie de la region sucriere fut favorisee dans le printemps de quelques ondees, qui donnbrent lieu d'espdrer une meilleure recolte que dans le reste de 1'dtat. Mais lb, meme, le rapport fut faible, l'ete et l'automne ayant ete defavorables Si la vege¬ tation et & la maturitd de la canne, et plusieurs ptanteurs dont les champs avaient une belle apparence, trouvbrent Si l'epoque dc la roulaison que le rendement par arpent, etait extraordi- nairement faible. II est vrai que le plant de canne, sur le- quel on compte principalement, parait avoir manque dans tout l'etat, et que la faible rbcolte de cette annee a bte en grande partic due aux souches. L'exploitation de la recolte a £te trbs-pdnible pour le plan- teur: nu commencement de la roulaison il ne se trouva presque pas do sucre dans le jus. La canne n'dtait pas milre, l'hiver trb*-pluvieux, et la consommation de combustible btait enorme par boucaut. Plusieurs perdirent une bonne partie de leur recolte, quelques unsfaute de bois ; d'autres trouvant le rende¬ ment trop insignifinnt preferbrent attendre. au risque mbme de peril re une partie. Quelques uns ne se mirent Si Toeuvre qu'au i>0 Pecembre, bpoque oti la plupart avaient fini de rouler. J'ignore s'ils ont eu lieu de s'en feliciter, mais il me semble qu'en Louisiane il est dangereux de retarder la roulaison.— 11 \aut mieux selon moi se contentcr de peu, que de tout cumpi onto tiro dans I'cspoir d'avoir davantage. IX La gelde de la nuit du 23 Octobre quoique legfere fit beau- coup de mal dans les paroisses St. Jean Baptiste, St. Jacques, Ascension, Iberville, Est et Ouest Baton Rouge, Est et Ouest Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, Avoyelles et Rapides. Dans ces paroisses la saison fut de deux mois moins longue que dans les autres oil la canne se conserva intacte jusqu'a la nuit du 25 Decembre, oil la terre fut gelde, et qui fut le commencement d'une sdrie de jours froids, tels qu'on n'avait jamais vus dans cette latitude ; le froid ayant continue avec quelques varia¬ tions dans la temperature et de frdquentes pluies jusqu'au milieu de Fevrier. Dans plusieurs annees precddentes, comme en 1835, 1852, &c. la temperature avait peut-etre pendant un jour ou deux etd plus basse, mais un froid aussi continuel ne s'etait peut-etre jamais fait sentir en Louisiane. Le jour le plus froid fut le 4 Fevrier, quand le mercure descendit & 20 degres audessus de zero ; mais il fut plusieurs fois a 24 et 25 degres dans le courant du mois de Janvier. Beaucoup de planteursqui n'avaient pas termine au commencement du froid eurent beaucoup & souffrir de ces circonstances desastreuses. _ Dans les paroisses nominees ci-dessus, la canne, quoiqrie atteinte par le froid du 24 Octobre, ne fut pas gelde jusqu'au ras de terre, et la ou elle n'avait pas ete coupde et mise en grenier, la vegetation continua et l'empecha de murir, tandis que l'autre mise en grenier ne fut bonne qu'a faire de la Mdlasse. C'est a cette gelde d'Octobre que j'attribue la faiblesse de la rdcolte de sucre de l'dtat. Je n'avais jamais eu foien une forte rdcolte, connaissant le deficit du plant, et convaincu comme je le suis, de l'impossibilite de faire dans la Louisiane une forte recolte avec des souches; mais je ne m'attendais nullement a voir nos planteurs obtenir un si faible rdsultat de leur plant. A peu d'exceptions pres, le plant de canne a etd infdrieur, mfeme pour ceux qui ont roule en dernier lieu, et je doute fort que ceux qui ont adopte ce moyen s'en soient mieux trouvds* Je croirais plutot que plusieurs y ont perdu. Quant, a la nrochaine reqalte, l'opinion generale est que le plant d'automne est totalement perdu; celui qui etait dbja sorti de terre est entierement gatb, tandis que celui qui a btb mis plus tard en terre ne vaut guere mieux; bien que quelques planteurs comptent d'avantage sur leurs terres lbgeres et sablon- neuses, que sur leurs terres fortes, basses et humides. Cepen- dant je dirais volontiers comme un de nos habitans, "attendons " encore quelques semaines; on ne pent rien decider avant le " milieu de Mai. Le mal pent fitre aussi grand qu'on le dit; " mai8 pour le moment je n'en suis pas encore convaincu." J'espere, quant a moi, que ceux qui sont si profondbment d huff- Estate of W. M.

GENERAL REMARKS. In my report of the crop of each plantation I have, as much as it has been in my power, extended the crops in actual hogsheads, and paid no regard whatever to either the quantity in pounds, value or quality of their contents, as every one is aware that they differ materially in all these particulars. But very few planters are opposed to this method of reporting their crops, and these are to be found amongst those working by the different new processes, whilst others reproach me with wishing to swell the extent of the crop of Louisiana. I should like to have them reflect on the difference it would make in my report if I was to call a hogshead 1000 pounds, as some of them would have me to do. No one could understand where so many hogsheads of Sugar had been found by me when no one else could see them. Let it be well understood that the different plantations of Louisiana iurnish to the com¬ merce of the country hogsheads of considerable difference, as well in value as in weight and quality of contents. It is well known that our planters do not make hogsheads of the same size, and there is a wide margin in some of them. In making my estimate of the total amount of the crop in pounds, I have concluded, after due investigation, to adopt the ratio of 1100 pounds per hogshead, as being the proper esti¬ mate upon the gross amount of the total crop. This is a smaller average than I used for the previous crop, and I think it neces¬ sary, from the fact that the quality of this crop is inferior to the previous one, and will not hold as well in weight, the drainage must be more. The product of seventy plantations, worked by the vacuum and other new processes, and amounting to 33,265 hogsheads, I class as a distinct and separate article, some being refined, clarified, &c., and all these planters working their cistern Sugars, and a few even some of their Molasses, which are returned in their crops as Sugar, although oftentimes of a rather inferior quality. I have found in operation this year only 1299 Sugar-houses, against 1324 the year before ; and they have produced 231,421 hogsheads of Sugar, of various sizes and qualities, including the cistern bottoms—the whole weighing, according to my estimate, 254,569,000 pounds. Of the plantations that have produced this crop, 938 use steam, and 361 horses, as their motive power. 44 Rome of our planters have not, perhaps, made as much Mo¬ lasses as of late years, while others have made a greater quan¬ tity than they did last season, more particularly those who rolled a good portion of their crop into Syrup or Molasses, which, I am satisfied, must give them a larger quantity of cis¬ tern bottoms. I therefore think that my former estimate of sixty gallons per 1000 pounds of Sugar to be a fair one, or 15,274,140 gallons against 23,113,620 gallons the year pre¬ vious. Texas has produced this year a much better crop than the preceding one—say 8977 actnal hogsheads, estimated at an average weight of 9,875,000 pounds against 7,513,000 pounds the previous season. My information from Texas is much the same as that I have from Louisiana planters—therefore my introductory remarks will equally apply to both. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New Orleans, March 10, 1856. OBSERVATIONS G£N£RALES. Dans mon rapport de la production de chaque habitation je n'ai qu'autant qu'jl a EtE en mon pouvoir porte le chiffre de chaqu'une dans mes colonnes qu'en boucauts rEels, tels qu'ils se comportent, et n'ai nullement eu egard a la quantite de livres, ni k la valeur, pas plus qu'a la qualite de leur con- tenu, chaeun sachant trfes bien qu'il existe de trfes grandes variations dans toutes ces particularites. II n'y a que fort peU de planteurs qui soient opposes a cette manifere de rapporter leurs rEcoltes, et ceux-ci se trouvent parmi les nouveaux pro- cEdEs, pendant que d'autres sont sous ^'impression que mon dEsir serait de chercher a enfler la rEcoIte de la Louisiana.— J'aimerais h les voir rEfiEchir et considErer la difference que cela ferait dans mon relevE de la recolte si j'Etablissais une moyenne de mille livres au boucaut, comme quelques uns d'eux voudraient que je fisse; on pourrait avec raison demander ou je trouve autant de boucauts de sucre, que personne ne verrait que moi-meme. Je dEsire done, qu'il soit bien entendu que je prE tends dire que les habitations sucriEres de la Louisiane fournissent au commerce du pays des boucauts de sucre de toutes capacitEs, ainsi que de toutes qualitEs. Du reste, chacun sait fort lien que nos planteurs ont le droit de faire leurs boucauts de la grandeur qui leur convient. En faisant mon estimde du total de la rEcolte en livres, j'ai pensE d'apres mes recherches faites,qu'il serait rationnel d'adop- ter un average de 1100 livres par boucaut, sur Ja totalite de la rEcolte. CJ'est une Evaluation moins Elevee que celle de la prE- cEdente ; cependant je I'ai crue nEcessaire par la raison que la qualitE de cette annEe est infErieure a celle de 1'annEe dernifere, et doit moins peser, sinon coulcr davantage. Le produit de 70 habitations exploitees par le vacuum ou nouveaux procEdds, Se montant a 33,205 boucauts, je classe comme un article a part, tel que sucre rafinE, clarifiE, &c., &c. 46 Les proprietaires de ces differentes manufactures me rapportent dans leurs rdcoltes, les fonds de citernes, et quelques uns, meme du sucre de melasses, parfois d'assez mauvaise qualite. Je n'ai trouve cette annee en operation que 1299 sucreries' petites et grandes, contre 1324 1'an dernier, et elles ont produit selon mon rapport 231,427 boucauts de toutes qualites et capa- cites, y incluant les fonds de citernes, pesant ensemble 254,56'J,- 000 livres, selon revaluation que j'en ai faite. Des habitations qui ont produit cette recolte 938 se servent de vapeur, et 361 de chevaux, comrae force motrice. Quelques uns de nos habitants ont peut-6tre fait moins de melasses que dans les anndes prdcddentes, tandis que d'autres en ont fait d'avantage, plus particulierement ceux qui ont did contraints de rouler une bonne portion de leurs Cannes, soit en sirop ou melasses. Je ne doute pas que par cela ils se trouve- ront avoir fait beaucoup plus de fonds de citernes qu'ils ne croient. Je pense done qu'en prenant ceci en consideration, mon estimee de l'an dernier de 60 gallons par 1000 livres de sucre doit dtre a peu prhs correcte, disons 15,274,140 gallons contre 23,113,620 l'annde dernibre. Le Texas a produit cette annee plus que dans la precddente.a savoir 8977 boucauts, estimb l'un portant l'autre a 1100 livres, donnant un total de 9,875,000 livres contre 7,513,000 la saison derniere. Les renseignements qui me sont parvenus de cet Etat, corres¬ pondent exactement avec ceux des planteurs de la Louisiane; consequemment, les observations de mon introduction sont appliquables a l'un comme a l'autre des deux Etats. Respectueusement, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. Nouvelle Orleans, 10 Mars, 1856. IFL-AJlVEOSr NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM OF SUGAR MAKING. The undersigned, Agent for the United States of America, of Ramos' New and Improved System of Sugar Making, has the honor to inform Sugar Planters generally, that this system has now been in operation in this State since 1852, with the most satisfactory results. The limits of this advertisement will not allow my naming all the gentlemen who have adopted it, nor of the publication of the Certificates I have received from them in its favor, but among those who have used it with great satisfaction to them¬ selves, I may mention Mr. William F. Mason, of Parish Jefferson ; Messrs. J. W, & S. McCutchon, and Judge P. A. Rost, on his two plantations of Parish St. Charles ; Mr. Ste¬ phen D. McCutchon, and Don Juan Y. de EgaiLa, of Parish Plaquemine ; Mr.W. W. Pugh, of Parish Assumption ; Mr. John R. Thompson, of Parish Iberville ; Mr. John A. Dougherty and Mr. Thompson W. Bird, of Parish West Baton Rouge ; Mr. Abraham Bird, of Parish East Baton Rouge; Mr. John M. Huger, of Parish St. Mary ; and Mr. Charles Collins, of Parish Point Coupde. The advantages of this system are, economy of labor and of fuel, superior simplicity, ease and efficacy in defecating the liquor, and as a natural result, an improvement in the quality of the Sugars made by it, in open kettles. The expense of adapting the apparatus to any set of kettles will seldom exceed $200. The charge made by me for the Patent-right, is One Dol¬ lar for every hogshead of 1000 pounds of Sugar made in one crop alone, for which sum the planter is entitled to use the invention ever after on the same plantation, without further charge. Any gentleman desirous of using this improvement on the terms stated, can do so, by applying to me personally, or by letter, addressed to the care of William Alling, Esq., Presi¬ dent of the Commercial Water Works, New Orleans.

Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the sea shore; every plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first on the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted: W. B. Trumbull's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea-faring vessels go, and the dis¬ tances are given. Please, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

The Cane culture in this State is well known to be exposed to certain unfavorable vicissitudes to which it is not liable in more southern latitudes, and hence its past history presents remarkable fluctuations in the product, as will be seen by the annexed statement, which gives the crop of each year, from 1828 to 1856, inclusive—a period of twenty-eight years: Crop oft 856 73,976 hhda. 1855 231,427 " 1854 346,635 1853 449,324 1852 321,934 1851 236,547 1850 211,201 1849 247,923 1848 220,000 1847 240,000 1846 140,000 1845 186,000 1844. 200,000 1843 100,000 Crop of 1842 140,000 hhds. 1841 90,000 1840 87,000 1839 115,000 1838 ....70,000 1837 .65,000 1836 70,000 1835 30,000 1834 100,000 1833 75.000 1832 70,000 1829 48,000 1828 88,000 INTRODUCTION. In presenting to my patrons my Tenth Annual Report of the Sugar Crop of Louisiana—viz., 1844-45 and 1845-46 and 1849-50 to 1856-57—I beg leave to indulge in a few general remarks touching the Cane culture in Louisiana drawn from facts and observations, as I have been familiar, since the crop of 1830-31, with whatever has passed in the Sugar Parishes of this State. It seems to me that the winter of 1834-35 must have been very similar to last winter, judging from the crop made in 1835-36, which barely amounted to 30,000 hogsheads, the extent of cultivation being about one-half what it now is. Some planters more enterprising than others had made a trial as far up as Alexandria to introduce the culture of the Cane, but from that year it had been abandoned until 1844, when several planters in Rapides undertook to make a new trial, and they, I am happy to say, have met with a degree of suc¬ cess in their undertaking quite equal to their expectations ; convincing me by their crops that the impression long prevalent that they were in a latitude too far north for the cultivation of Cane was erroneous, for their lands this season have pro¬ duced a better yield per acre than those of any section of the State, except the Racourci lands in Point Coupde, which latter have produced in about the same ratio. 1 have not found that they suffered comparatively greater injury from the hard winter of last year, nor did they suffer more than other parts of the State from the very severe freeze of 1851-52. At that time we had a covering of snow to protect our lands in Lower Louisiana, while theirs were exposed to all the elements: And yet they made a good crop in 1852, which proves to my satis¬ faction that there must be some other difficulty besides cold when Louisiana fails to make a crop, as has been the case this season. We have had several successive dry springs and summers, and last winter was not only very cold but also wet. The lands were in the worst kind of order, and everything entrusted to the earth's bosom for nourishment and growth seemed to deteriorate and decay from day to day, until our planters were so disappointed and perplexed that they thought there was some disease in the Cane. Such false reports have A1 VI circulated but too much abroad, and have extended far enough for the planters of Cuba to rejoice in the belief that Louisiana can produce no more Sugar. Qui vivra verra. For my part I am not disposed to believe as some do on this point. Sixty- three years have passed over my head, and they have demon¬ strated to me that although they came one after the other they were not always alike, more particularly in the production of the earth. It seems to me that in almost all sorts of produce some seasons give forth more abundant returns than others. I have lived long enough to see Louisiana produce, in two successive years—say 1852-53 and 1853-54—two astonish¬ ingly large crops. In the former year the yield of the Cane was really surprising to a great many planters. As for myself I am fearful that I cannot live long enough to witness the realization of another such yield. The following crop of 1853 -54 was the largest ever produced by Louisiana, and came out of a vast deal of good Cane. In fact the crop of the year before, large as it was, was the product of comparatively few acres of land, while the larger crop of 1853-54 was realized out of all the best sort of stubbles of the previous crop and a large planting besides; and had the yield of Sugar been as abundant as it was the year previous the State would have produced over 600,000 hogsheads, provided our planters had the ability to secure it, which I have my doubts about, for some would have done better to have left the Cane in the fields instead of making Sugar, as they ran themselves in debt by the operation. Mark that the orop of 1852 was made after a severe winter, which had frozen the stubbles so deeply in the ground that I saw myself, traveling in the fall in fields where the Cane had been cut and put in matelas, the stubbles come out of the ground as thick as could be, and they would, I have no doubt, have made good Cane if the planters had not ploughed them up after it had taken all summer to bring them out of the ground. As intimated in my introductory remarks of last year, I was fearful of having a very poor report to make of the present crop, but I could not have been easily persuaded to believe that it would turn out to be as small as I find myself in duty bound to report it. This remarkable result, however, I attrib¬ ute to two incidents, the first being the killing frost of October, 1855, which blasted the hopes of all the planters of the fine Sugar-growing Parishes of Iberville, West Baton Rouge and some other Parishes in which it could not have proven as severe; for I know both the lands and the tillers of the lands but when I see a large half of them make no Sugar at all I am VII forced to the conclusion that something extraordinary, and something which I do not understand, must have occurred in that section of the State; something different from any of the vicissitudes experienced in other parts of the State. The second is the hurricane of August, which not only caused great destruction of life and property on Last Island but made great havoc among the crops of the rich and productive Sugar Parish of St. Mary, besides prostrating a great many dwell¬ ings, out-houses and sugar-houses; thus causing an almost entire failure of both the Sugar and Corn crops of that Parish. The hurricane was most severe and the destruction most com¬ plete in the Parish of St. Mary, but wherever it passed (and it took a wide sweep) it forced the Cane nearly to the ground in one direction and then, by a change of its course, raised and bent it in the other direction. After a few weeks the crops thus affected seemed to recover, and to present a tolerably fair promise, but when they were " taken off" there was found to be a deficiency in the number of cart loads of Cane to the acre, and a remarkably meagre yield of Sugar. This I find has been the case more particularly in Terrebonne, Lafourche Interior and Plaquemines, where some planters have hardly realized one-half the expectations -Which they had formed from the appearance of their fields. In the result of these three Parishes 1 am greatly disappointed. I had hoped and expect¬ ed to give a better account of these than necessarily appears in my report. With respect to the rumors and impressions of disease in the Cane, already alluded to, I am disposed myself to yield them little faith, but I cheerfully give place to an interesting communication of the Hon. Judge P. A. Rost on the subject, addressed to the Louisiana State Agricultural Society, which is as follows: New-Orleans, January 25, 1857. After diligent inquiry in the different iocalitiesof the BUgar region, it affords the undersigned great pleasure to have it in his power to inform the Society that the future prospects of the sugar interests have undergone an unexpected and highly favorable change. For several years past the sugar cane has been subject to a variety of diseases, which had induced the general belief that it was fast deteriorating, and the crop before the last had been, in places, seriously damaged by the borer worm, an insect often found in the West Indies, but, until lately, unknown in Louisiana. The severe and long continued cold of last winter, while it nearly destroyed the crop on hand, appears to have destroyed also that mischievous insect and the other causes of disease, whatever they were. With rare and unimportant exceptions, the seed canes now being planted are in the best possible condition, and, as an unusually large quantity of seed has been put up, the breadth of land planted will exceed that of any previous year, and, with anything like a fair season, more than an average crop will surely be made. VIII It wonld seem that climate had no agency in producing the diseases so happily got rid of, and that they were of the class to which all cultivated plants are believed to be subject, and analogous to those of the orange tree here some years since, and of the grape-vine in Europe at the present time. With the seed cane once more sound, and the liberal aid afforded by the general government in procuring new varieties of the plant from abroad, the Bugar crop may, for an indefinite period of time, be considered as certain as any other that could be grown in its place, the years 1835 and 1856 being the only two out of sixty in which it has been materially injured by cold; and it w.ll continue to increase, as it has done heretofore, in those parts of Louisiana, Florida and Texas where the cotton crop has become somewhat precarious, so long as the incidental protection it receives through the revenue laws is a sufficient inducement for the change of cultivation. P. A. ROST. As for the coming crop, it is the general impression that I shall have an opportunity, in my next report, to give a better account of Louisiana's capacity for producing Sugar. God grant that I may never see a repetition of 1835 and 1856, which I find much alike in the ratio of production, though the latter season has fallen upon a period of high prosperity in the country at large while the former found it on the eve of a gen¬ eral bankruptcy. Our planters have much to contend against. An extraordinary combination of extraordinary causes has resulted in an almost total failure of the crop of the past year, and given point to assertions that the Cane culture is " dying out" in Louisiana. But we have faith that the energy of our planters, aided by an ordinarily propitious season, will show that our State, if not deprived of the Government protection, is yet reliable for a good proportion of our home consumption, though it seems probable that the present deficiency and con¬ sequent high prices will induce an excessive import of foreign Sugars which the next crop will have to contend against. Cuba, Porto Rico and Brazil now rejoice, but we have faith that Louisiana will yet regain her former rank as a Sugar- producing State. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER.

GENERAL REMARKS. In my report of the crop of each plantation, I have, as much as it has-been in my power, extended the crops in actual hogsheads, and paid no regard whatever to either the quantity in pounds, value or quality of their contents, as every one is aware that they differ materially in all these particulars. But very few planters are opposed to this method of reporting their crops, and these are to be found amongst those working by the different new processes, whilst others reproach me with wishing to swell the extent of the crop of Louisiana. I should like to have them reflect on the difference it would make in my report if I was to call a hogshead 1000 pounds, as some of them would have me to do. No one could understand where so many hogsheads of Sugar had been found by me when no one else could see them. Let it be well understood that the different plantations of Louisiana furnish to the com¬ merce of the country hogsheads of considerable difference, as well in value as in weight and quality of contents. It is well known that our planters do not make hogsheads of the same size, and there is a wide margin in some of them. In making my estimate of the total amount of the crop in pounds, I have concluded, after due investigation, to adopt the ratio of 1100 pounds per hogshead, as being the proper esti¬ mate upon the gross amount of the total crop—the Sugar having been generally of a superior quality. The product of forty plantations, worked by the vacuum and other new processes, and amounting to 9702 hogsheads, I class as a distinct and separate article, some being refined, clarified, &c, and all these planters working their cistern Sugars, and a few even some of their Molasses, which are returned in their crops as Sugar, although oftentimes of a rather inferior quality. 44 I have found, that of the Sugar-houses in operation in this State some 931 of them have given an aggregate production of 73,976 hogsheads Sugar, weighing, according to my estimate, 81,373,000 pounds of all sorts, including the cistern bottoms, and that nearly 400 have done nothing. The production of Molasses has been in about the same proportion as last season, and I see no reason to Change my estimate—let us say about 4,882,380 gallons against 15,274,140 the year previous. If I am well informed, Texas has not made in all the State more than 150 hogsheads of Sugar, and a few planters have succeeded in raising a sufficiency of plants for next crop. However, it is said that the great majority of them have made a good planting, and some new ones are preparing for 1857 and 1858-59. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New-Orleans, Feb. 10, 1857. OBSERVATIONS G&N&RALES. Dans mon rapport de la production de chaque habitation je n'ai qu'autant qu'il a dtd en moi pouvoir porte le chifire de chaqu'une dans mes colonnes qu'en boucauts reels, tels qu'ils se comportent, et n'ai nullement eu dgard a la quantitd de livres, ni a la valeur, pas plus qu'a la qualite de leur contenu, chacun sachant tres bien qu'il existe de tres grandes variations dans toutes ces particularites. II n'y a que fort peu de plan- teurs qui soient opposds a cette inaniere de rapporter leurs rd- coltes, et ceux-ci se trouvent parmi les nouveaux procedes> pendant que d'autres sont sous l'impression que mon desir serait de chercher a enfler la recolte de la Louisiane. J'aim- erais a les voir refldchir et considdrer la difference que cela ferait dans mon releve de la recolte si j'etablissais une moyenne de mille livres au boucaut, comme quelques uns d'eux vou- draient que je ffsse ; on pourrait avec raison demander oil je trouve autant de boucauts de sucre, que personne ne verrait que moi-mdme. Je desire done, qu'il soit bien entendu que je pretends dire que les habitations sucridres de la Louisiane four- nissent au commerce du pays des boucauts de sucre de toutes capacites, ainsi que de toutes qualitds. Du reste, chacun sait fort bien que nos planteurs ont le droit de jaire leurs boucauts de la grandeur qui leur convient, En faisant mon estimee du total de la recolte en livres, j'ai pensd d'apres mes recherehes faites, qu'il serait rationel d'adop- ter un average de 1100 livres par boucaut, sur la totalitd de la rdcolte. Les sucres ayant dte gendralement de bonne qualitd. Le produit de 40 habitations exploitees par le vacunm oil nouveaux proeddds, se montant a 9,702 boucauts, je classe comme un article a part, tel que sucre ratine, clarifid, &c., &c. Les propridtaires de ces differentes manufactures me rapportent 46 dans leurs recoltes, les fonds de citernes, et quelques uns, meme du sucre de molasses, parfois d'assez mauvaise quality. J'ai trouve parmi les sucreries en operation dans l'Etat que 931 ont produit 73,976 boucauts sucre pesant ensemble 81,373,- 000 livres de toutes sortes y incluant les fonds de citernes selon l'estimee que j'en ai fait, et que pres de 400 n'avaient rien fait dutout. Le produit des molasses a etd a peu pres le m£me que la saison derniere, et ne vois aucune raison pour changer mon estim^e, c'est a dire 4,882,380 gallons, coritre 15,274,140 l'annee dernibre. Si je suis bien inform^ le Texas n'a pas produit dans tout l'Etat au dela de 150 boucauts de sucre, et quelques habitants ont a peine reussi a faire autant de plants qu'ils auraient dbsirb, la majority, cependant, ont fait de bonnes plantations, et quel¬ ques nouveaux se preparent a faire recolte en 1857 ainsi qu'en 1858-59.

Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest jpoint from the sea shore; every plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first on the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississippi River, one single plantation excepted: W. B. Turnbull's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This isas far as sea-faring vessels go, and the dis¬ tances are given. Tlease, however, note, that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up as New Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

The Cane culture in this State is well known to be exposed to certain unfavorable vicissitudes to which it is not liable in more southern latitudes, and hence its past history presents remarkable fluctuations in the product, as will be seen by the annexed statement, which gives the crop of each year, from 1828 to 1857, inclusive—a period of twenty-nine years: Crop of 1857 279,697 hhds.

At the time of sending to press my last report, on the 10th of February, 1857, I left the Sugar growing interest in the State in a highly prosperous condition in regard to the prospect for the crop; the rumors of insects and diseases, and the general deterioration of the cane, so currently circulated during the previous seasons, had then disappeared. The plant cane was very fine: a great quantity had been put in the ground during the fall and winter months, and although no reliance was placed on the rattoons, there was every reason to expect a satisfactory result to the planters.. These expectations continued up to the close of March, but were sadly overthrown in the month of April, which proved very disastrous throughout the State, more particularly in Lower Louisiana and Bayou Lafourche: all the cane that had sprouted out of the ground was twice frozen down as late as the 22d of April, that on the black lands ■ having especially suffered the most. During May and June, however, I found that the cane in the State at large had much recuperated, the "exertions of planters having to some extent triumphed over the vicissitudes of the elements— the fields were in a high state of cultivation, and again gave reason to look for a very fair yield. During the summer months there were extensive and continuous rains, which, in some districts, caused apprehensions of a reduction in the anticipated crop ; but the temperature from that time to the commencement of the sugar rolling season dissipated in a great measure these apprehensions, and there was every reason to expect an abundant harvest. Again these expectations were doomed to disappointment On the 19th and 20th of November a severe frost suddenly fell upon the cane throughout the State at the very moment when it was yielding the most. Finding all unprepared, it curtailed the yield to a serious extent; in some districts the loss was very considerable, especially upon the green cane, of which there was a great deal, making difficult not only the manufacture of Sugar, but even left some planters unprovided with seed, and in every section disappointing their hopes and anticipations. VI In the parishes of Pointe Coupee, Assumption, Terrebonne, St. Martin and Iberville, I find a large quantity of good Sugar lands in progress of opening, which, in a very few years, must be brought into cultivation, and will to some extent balance the quantity which, in the Felicianas, Rapides, Avoyelles and St. Landry, has been planted in Cotton; many planters in those Parishes having abandoned the culture of cane for reasons which I have not been able satisfactorily to ascertain, for the yield of the cane planted has been of late more abundant in the upper Parishes than in the lower ones. As to the coming crop, I will venture no speculative suggestions. The number of acres planted may be less than last year, but the rattoons which failed almost totally then, now give promise to more than supply the deficiency of plant cane with an ordinarily propitious season and the absence of the unusual circumstances which have weighed so heavily on the Sugar interest of this State foj the last three years. I have a conviction that the energy of our planters will enable them to overcome any ordinary difficulties, and that the result will show that that the depreciators of Louisiana, as a Sugar producing country, are very much in error. Concerning Texas, I was in hopes of having it in my power to say something more positive of that State before going to press, but I have not as yet received any correct information, and shall content myself oy saying that the planters of that State, contrary to what has transpired in Louisiana, have had a spell of dry weather such as seldom occurs. For over five consecutive months of the spring and summer they have been without rain, to such an extent that plantations with a fair planting barely had the chance of making a few hogsheads of sugar besides their plants, and in a great measure can be exemplified by Louisiana last year, and may be considered as having put a reasonably good crop in the ground for the next season. Respectfully, &c., P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New Orleans, March 10th, 1658. INTRODUCTION. Quand je publiai mon dernier rapport, le 10 Fdvrier, 185*7, la canne h, sucre de la Louisiane dtait dans une condition floris- sante, et promettait une abondante rdcolte. il n'etait plus ques¬ tion des insectes et des maladies qui avaient ddtdriord la canne. Le plant dtait magnifique ; on en avait beaucoup plantd pen¬ dant les mois d'hiver et d'automne ; et bien que l'on dfit peu compter sur les souches, on avait tout lieu d'espdrer un rdsultat satisfaisant. Cet espoir se maintint jusqu'a la fin de Mars, mais le le mois suivant fut desastreux pour tout l'Etat, et prin- cipalement pour la basse Louisiane, et les paroisses de La¬ fourche. Au 22 Avril les pousses avaient ddjci gele deux fois, celles des terres noires avaient le plus souffert. Je trouvai, ce- pendant, une grande amelioration en Mai et Juin, les efforts des planteurs ayant en partie triomphd des vicissitudes du cli- mat; les champs bien cultivds faisaient esperer une bonne rdcolte. Pendant l'dte il y eut dans quelques districts des pluies abondantes et continuelles, qui firent craindre une forte reduc¬ tion de la rdcolte. mais ces craintes furent dissipdes par la tem¬ perature qui dura jusqu'a l'dpoque de la roulaison, et on put encore espdrer une recolte abondante. Mais cet espoir ne devait pas se rdaliser—une forte gelde frappa subitement la canne dans tout l'Etat, vers le 19 et 20 Novembre, au moment mfeme ou elle rendait le plus. Tous dtant pris au ddpourvu, la rdcolte fut serieusement compromise. La perte fut considerable dans quelques districts, surtout pour la canne verte qui dtait en grande quantitd, et nonseulement la fabrication du sucre fut plus difficile, mais plusieurs planteurs se trouverent depourvus de plants, et contraries dans toutes leurs previsions. J'ai trouve dans les paroisses de la Pointe Coupde, As- somption, Terrebonne, Saint-Martin et Iberville, beaucoup de terres h sucre en voie de culture, qui dans peu d'anndes pouront contrebalancer celles qui, dans les paroisses des Felicianas, Ra¬ pides, Avoyelles et Saint-Landry, ont ete semees en Coton. Plusieurs planteurs de ces dernidres paroisses ayant abandonnd la canne sans que je puisse ddcouvrir une raison satisfaisante, puisque en dernier lieu le rendement de la canne y dtait plus considerable que dans les paroisses infdrieures de l'Etat. VIII Je ne veux hasarder aucune opinion surla prochaine recolie. On a, peut-6tre, plantd moins d'arpents que l'annde dernidre, mais les souches qui alors avaient enticement fait defaut, pro- mettent, aujourd'hui, de combler le deficit du plant, et meme mieux avec une bonne saison ordinaire, et sans les ddsastres fortuits qui depuis trois ans ont si cruellement entrave l'indus- trie sucriere de l'dtat. Je suis convaincu que l'dnergie de nos planteurs pourra surmonter toutes les difficultds ordinaires, et que le iesultat demontrera l'erreur de ceux qui voudraient de- precier la production du sucre dans la Louisiane. Quant au Texas j'esperais pouvoir en dire quelques chose, avant de mettre sous presse, mais d. defaut de details prdcis, je me contenterai de, dire que les planteurs de cet dtat, &,l'en- contre de ceux de la Louisiane, ont souffert d'une secheress inusitde. Pendant cinq mois consecutifs du printemps et do l'ete, ils n'ont pas eu de pluie ; si bien qu'avcc une belle pers¬ pective quelques uns ont k peine reussi & faire qnelques bou- cauts de Sucre outre leur plant, suivant en cela l'exemple de la Louisiane l'annde derniere, et l'on peut raisonablement en con- clure qu'ils ont en terre une bonne recolte pour l'annde prochaine.

In ray report of the crop of each plantation, I have, as much as it has been in my power, extended the crops in actual hogsheads, and paid no regard whatever to either the quantity in pounds, value or quality of their contents, as every one is aware that they differ materially in all these particulars. But very few planters are opposed to this method of reporting their crops, and these are to be found amongst those working by the different new processes,'' whilst others reproach me with wishing to swell the extent of the crop of Louisiana. I should like to have them reflect on the difference it would make in my report if I was to call a hogshead 1000 pounds, as some of them would have me to do. No one- could understand where so many hogsheads of Sugar had -been found by me when no one else could see them. Let it be well understood that the different plantations of Louisiana furnish to the com¬ merce of the country hogsheads of considerable difference, as well in value as in weight and quality of contents. It is well known that our planters do not make hogsheads of the same size, and there is a wide margin in some of them. In making my estimate of the total amount of the crop in pounds, I have concluded, after due investigation, to adopt the ratio of 1100 pounds per hogshead, as being the proper esti¬ mate upon the gross amount of the total crop—the Sugar having been generally of a superior quality. The product of fifty-nine plantations, worked by the vacuum and other new processes, and amounting to 32,180 hogsheads, I class as a distinct and separate article, some being refined, clarified, &c, and all these planters working their cistern Sugars, and a few even some of their Molasses, which are returned in their crops as Sugar, although oftentimes of a rather inferior quality. 44 I have found, that of the Sugar-houses in operation in this State some 1294 of them have given an aggregate production of 279,697 hogsheads Sugar, weighing, according to my estimate, 307,666,700 pounds of all sorts, including the cistern bottoms, 935 of the plantations being worked by steam and 359 by horse power. The production of Molasses has been in about the same proportion as in former seasons, if not more abundant, and I see no reason to change my estimate—let us say about 19,578,790 gallons against 4,882,380 the year previous. If I am well informed, Texas has not made in all the State more than 2000 hogsheads of Sugar, the planters having suc¬ ceeded in making a good planting for next crop; some new ones are preparing for 1858 and 1859-60, while others have abandoned it entirely. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New-Orleans, March 10, 1858. OBSERVATIONS GfiNJfiRALES. Dans mon rapport de la production de chaque habitation je n'ai qu'autant qu'il a dt6 en moi pouvois porte le chifire de chaqu'une dans mes colonnes qu'en boucauts reels, tels qu'ils se comportent, et n'ai nullement eu dgard a la quantite de livres, ni a la valeury pas plus qu'a la qualitd de leur contenu, chacun sachant ties bien qu'il existe de tres grandes variations dans toutes ces particularity. II n'y a que fort peu de plan- teurs qui soient opposes a cette maniere de rapporter leurs re- coltes, et ceux-ci se trouvent parmi les nouveaux procddes, pendant que d'autres sont sous l'impression que mon desir serait de chercher a enfler la recolte de la Louisiane. J'aim- erais a les voir refldchir et considerer la difference que cela ferait dans mon relevd de la rdcolte si j'dtablissais une moyenne de mille livres au boucaut, comme quelques uns d'eux vou- draient que je fisse ; on pourrait avec raison demander oil je trouve autant de boucauts de sucre, que personne ne verrait que moi-m^me. Je desire done, qu'il soit bien entendu que je pretends dire que les habitations sucrieres de la Louisiane four- nissent au commerce du pays des boucauts de sucre de toutes capacity, ainsi que de toutes quality. Du reste, chacun sait fort bien que nos planteurs ont le droit de jaire leurs boucauts de la grandeur qui leur convient. En faisant mon estimee du total de la rdcolte en livres, j'ai pensd d'apres mes recherches faites, qu'il serait rationel d'adop- ter un average de 1100 livres par boucaut, sur la lotalitd de la recolte. Les sucres ayant 6te gdndralement de bonne qualitd. Le produit de 59 habitations exploitees par le vacuum oil nouveaux procedds, se montant a 32,180 boucauts, je claitee comme un article a part, tel que sucre rafinG, clarifid, &c., &c. Les propridtaires de ces differentes manufactures me rapportent 46 dans leurs recoltes, les fonds de citernes, et quelques uns, mthne du sucre de molasses, parfois d'assez mauvaise quality. J'ai trouve parmi les sucreries en operation dans l'Etat que 1,294 ont produit 279,697 boucauts sucre pesant ensemble 307,666,700 livres, de toutes sortes y incluant les fonds de citernes selon l'estinj^e que j'en ai fait; sur 935 des susdites habitations on se sert de vapeur, et sur 359 de chevaux comme force motrice.

Copies can be obtained from the Publisher at No. 13 Customhouse Street, New-Orleans. EXPLANATION. Each Parish has been taken from its head, or farthest point from the sea-shore ; every plantation put by rotation as they occur, coming from one to the other, according to their locality, on the Prairies or Bayous in each Parish. The River Parishes are so arranged as to commence first on the right side, next upon the left side of the Mississippi River. West and East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge are all on the left side of the Mississigpi River, one single plantation excepted : W. B. Turnbull's, on Red River Island. Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge are entirely on the right side of the Mississippi. The Parishes of Assumption and Lafourche Interior are exactly as the River Parishes, right and left. This is as far as sea¬ faring vessels go, and the distances are given. Please, how. ever, note that sea vessels go into the Bayou Teche as far up New Iberia, where great quantities of Sugar and Molasses are shipped and cleared at the Franklin Customhouse, in the Parish of St. Mary, direct to the Atlantic markets.

The Cane culture in this State is well kijown to be exposed to certain unfavorable vicissitudes to which it is not liable in more southern latitudes, and hence its past history presents remarkable fluctuations in the product, as will be seen by the annexed statement, which gives the crop of each year, from 1828 to 1858, inclusive—a period of thirty years : Crop of 1858 362,296 hhds.

At the time of sending to press my last Annual Report of the Sugar Crop I left the Sugar growing interest with most flattering prospects for a large yield. Both the plant Cane and the ratoons presented an unusually perfect stand in every sec¬ tion of the State, as a mild winter and a favorable spring enabled planters to make early and favorable progress in the planting and cultivating of their crops. All promised well, when on the 11th April the levee gave way at the plantation oi Mr. John M. Bell, a short distance above New Orleans, and on the opposite side of the river. Many efforts were made to stop the crevasse, and much expense was incurred, but all to no effect. For some time after this calamity many plan¬ ters thought that they could protect themselves with back levees, and I have no doubt that some would have succeeded to a certain extent, but after great labor and expense their efforts were rendered futile by another crevasse, which took place on the 2d May, on the plantation of Mrs. Labranche & Son, twenty-five miles above the city and on the same side of the river as the "Bell Crevasse." All efforts to stop this break also proved futile, and the double calamity worked destruction together. From that moment a large number of planters, exposed to the course of the rushing waters, abandoned all hope of saving any portion of their crops. Had the break in the levee been alone confined to that at Bell's plantation the damage, in my opinion, would have been comparatively small, not extending further, perhaps, than Jefferson, Orleans and Plaquemines ; but when both these crevasses opened passages for the flow of immense bodies of water, the two streams tend¬ ing towards each other, and finally combining in their work of destruction, their course involved all that rich section of the country situated between Bayou l.afourche and the Mississippi river, which was completely inundated by the waters, on their way to the Gulf. The water continued to rise and spread more and more every day, until their source, the Mississippi river itself, began to fall, carrying destruction to Cane, Corn and other crops, not only of Lafourche Interior, but also of St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and to some extent St. James and Assumption, and extending even to the back portions of the plantations in the Parish of Ascencion. From a careful investigation of the matter I estimate the damage to the Sugar INTRODUCTION. A l'dpoque oil je mis sous presse mon dernier Rapport An¬ nuel, la recolte de Sucre promettait d'etre abondante. Le plant et les souches etaient encore en bien meilleur etat que de coutume, dans toute3 les parties de la Louisiane, car un hiver peu rtgoureux et un printemps favorable avaient permis aux planteurs de s'occuper de bonne heure de leurs travaux. Tout s'annon§ait done bien, lorsque, le 11 Avril, la levee edda sur l'habitation de Mr. John M. Bell, a une petite distance au-des- sus de la Nouvelle-Orleans, et sur l'autre rive du fleuve. On tenta de grands efforts pour l'arreter, on fit des depenses con¬ siderable.-, sans resultat. Apres cette calamitd, beaucoup de planteurs crurent pouvoir se proteger a l'aide de levees de der- ridre, et je ne doute pas que quelques-uiis d'entr'eux eussent rdussi en partie sans une nouvelle crevasse qui eut lieu, le 2 Mai, sur l'habitation de Mme. Labranche et fils, (ci vingt-cinq milles au-dessus de la ville, sur la meme rive que la "Crevasse Bell,") et rendit inutiles les nombreux travaux qu'ils avaient executes, les frais enormes qu'ils avaient encourus. A partir de ce moment, un grand nombre d'habitants, exposes aux eaux envahissantes, abandonnerent tout espoir de sauver une partie quelconque de leurs rdcoltes. Si la levee n'avait cede que sur la plantation de Mr. Bell, la perle, selon moi, etit ete compara- tivement faible et ne se serait peut-etre pas etendue au-del& de Jefferson, d'Orleans et de Plaquemines, mais ces deux cre¬ vasses laissant passer d'enormes volumes d'eau, les deux cours s'dtant rdunis et accomplissant ainsi leur ceuvre de des¬ truction. toute la riche contrde qui se trouve entre le Bayou Lafourche et le fleuve Mississippi fut compldtement couverte par l'eau qui allait se jeter dans le Golfe. L'eau continua it monter et &, se rdpandre jusqu'au jour oil tomba sa source, le Mississippi lui-meme. La rdcolte de Cannes, de mais, etc., non seulement de Lafourche Intdrieure, mais encore de St. Charles, de St. Jean Baptiste, d'une partie de St. Jacques, d'Assomption, fut ddtruite ; le fldau atteignit mdme les der- riere des habitations de la Paroisse Ascension. Un examen attentif du tableau me porte & fixer la perte a 53,093 boucauts. Quant aux autres produits, il me serait impossible d'en determi¬ ner la valeur. Plusieurs autres crevasses se sont ddclardes, mais on a pu les arrdter avant que les dommages fussent importants. II y en a eu une sur l'habitation de MM. McHatton & Saunders, Est Baton Rouge, une chez MM. Avet & Hebert, et une chez le Col. P. L. Cox, sur le Bayou Lafourche. Les planteurs eux- mdmes les ont bouchdes. Chez MM. Avet & Hebert, la levde a cdde trois ou quatre fois, mais les travaux, disons-le k la lou- ange des habitan ts, n'ont dtd abandonnes qne quand on n'avait plus rien h craindre. Nous avons eu de la gelde dans la nuit du 9 et du 10 Novera- bre ; je suis heureux d'annoncer qu'elle a plus effraye les planteurs que nui h leur recoltes. Neanmoins, je ne doute nullement qu'elle ait diminud la recolte de sucre en Louisiane, mais je ne saurais dire jusqu'a quel point. Une trds grande quantite de Cannes dtait coupde et mise en " windrow " dans toutes les parties de l'Etat, et bien que ces Cannes, chez beau- coup d'habitants, aient donne du bun sucre jusqu'au dernier moment, la production a dh, ndcessairement, dtre moins consi¬ derable, outre le travail extra et la perte de temps, choses de haute importance en temps de roulaison. Je prevois que la culture des paroisses de la partie supdrieure de la Louisiane augmentera encore de beaucoup. Plusieurs habitants se disposent h faire des recoltes en 1860-61, particu- lidrement dans les Paroisses Rapides et Pointe Coupee. Je serai heureux si l'occasion se prdsente de constater plus tard de beaux resultats pour eux dans mes rapports. Quant h la recolte sur pied, je dois dire que les nouvelles qui me parviennent des paroisses superieures, c'est-k-dire Ra¬ pides, Avoyelles, Est et Quest Feliciana, Pointe-Coupee, Est et Ouest Ba.ton Rouge sont favorables. II parait que le plant y est restd en bon etat et les planteurs sont generalement satisfaits de leurs travaux. On ne se plaint pas beaucoup aux Attaka- pas, au Bayou Lafourche et & Terrebonne, mais les nouvelles regues d'Iberville, (en descendant,) sont contradictoires ; beau¬ coup d'habitants craignent que leurs souches ne viennent pas bien. On sait, cependant, que ces souches ont pousse de trds bonne heure, tandis que le plant de canne, qui est maintenant en terre ou est en voie d'y etre mis, n'a pas eu le meme avan- tage. Mais les annees ont des phases differentes et il serait oiseux h cette dpoque de la saison, de baser des calculs sur les rdsultats probables. Mon seul but est de presenter les faits tels qu'ils existent, avec l'espoir, neanmoins, que les planteurs de la Louisiane seront satisfaits k juste titre, de la recolte de 1859-60. % Nous avons eu un hiver tres humide; aussi suis-je etonne que les habitants aient si bien reussi k faire leurs recoltes. La plus grande partie des mois de Ddcembre, Janvier et Fdvrier a 6t6 marquds par des pluies qui se sont prolongdes plus que d'ha- bitude et le mois de Mars n'est guere plus favorable. L'agri- XII culture a consbquemment beaucoup souffert de cet btat de choses, et les planteurs n'ont que peu avance en tant qu'il s'a- git du labourage, de la mise en terre, etc. Au Texas, la saison a ete tres mauvaise, k cause de.la grande secheresse qui a durb six mois—de Mars k Septembre. La recolte n'a pas, nbanmoins, manque complbtement, comme les annees precedentes, l'Etat ayant produit, d'aprbs le tableau que l'on trouvera a sa place, pres de 6000 boucauts. En Louisiane, au contraire, la saison a bte tres favorable k la croissance et a la maturite de la canne. J'ai des raisons de croire que sans les dommages occasionnbs par les crevasses et sans la diminution de la culture dans les paroisses superieures, la recolte de notre Etat eut atteint presque le chiffre de 428,875 boucauts. En faisant un relevd approximatif de la perte par l'inonda- tion, j'ai supposb que les habitations qui ont souffert auraient, sans le desastre, fait des recoltes presque egales &. celles de 1853-54. La difference est de 53,093 boucauts et j'estime que les pertes occasionnees par les crevasses sont comme suit: St. Jacques, 3,494; St. Jean Baptiste, 4,275 ; St. Charles, 618O6 ; Jefferson, 10,229 ; Orleans, 2,141; Plaquemines, 9,467; Assomption, 1,735 ; Lafourche Intbrieure, 14,946 boucauts.

GENERAL REMARKS; la my report of the crop of each plantation, I have, as much as it has been in my power, extended the crops in actual hogsheads, and paid no regard whatever to either the quantity in pounds, value or quality of their contents, as every one is aware that they differ materially in all these particulars. But very few planters are opposed to this method of reporting their crops, and these are to be found amongst those working by the different new processes, whilst others reproach me with wishing to swell the extent of the crop of Louisiana. I should like to have them reflect on the difference it would make in my report if I was to call a hogshead 1000 pounds, as some of them would have me to do. No one could understand where so many hogsheads of Sugar had been found by me, when no one else could see them. Let it be well understood that the different plantations of Louisiana furnish to the com¬ merce of the country, hogsheads of considerable difference, ;s 'well in value as in weight and quality of contents. It is well known that our planters do not make hogsheads of the same size, and there is a wide margin in some of them. In making my estimate of the total amount of the crop in pounds, I have concluded, after due investigation, to adopt the ratio of 1150 pounds per hogshead, as being the proper esti¬ mate upon the gross amount of the total crop—the Sugar having been generally of a superior quality. The product of fifty-two plantations, worked by the vacuum and other new processes, and amounting to 44,573 hogsheads, I class as a distinct and separate article, some being refined, clarified, etc , and all these planters working their cistern Sugars, and a few even some of their Molasses, which are returned in their crops as Sugar, although oftentimes of a rather inferior quality. 44 I have found, that of the Sugar-houses in operation in this State, some 1294 of them have given an aggregate production of 362,296 hogsheads Sugar, weighing, according to my estimate, 414,796,000 pounds of all sorts, including the cistern bottoms, 987 of the plantations being worked by steam and 311 by horse power. The production of Molasses has not been as large as in previous seasons, I have, therefore, thought that about 60 gallons per thousand pounds sugar would be a proper esti¬ mate ; say about 24,887,760 gallons, against 19,578,790 the* year previous. Respectfully, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. New-Orleans, March 22, 1859. OBSERVATIONS G&N&RALES. Dans mon rapport de la production de chaque habitation, je n'ai qu'autant qu'il a 6t6 en mon pouvoir porte le chifTre de chaqu'une dans mes colonnes qu'en boucauts reels, tels qu'ils se comportent, et n'ai nullement eu dgard a la quantitd de livres, ni a la valeur, pas plus qu'a la qualitd de leur contenu, chacun sachant tres bien qu'il existe de tres grandes variations dans toutes ces particularites. II n'y a que fort peu de plan- teurs qui soient opposds a cette maniere de rapporter leurs r6- coltes, et ceux-ci se trouvent parmi les nouveaux precedes, pendant que d'autres sont sous l'impression que mon ddsir serait de chercher a enfler la r£colte de la Louisiane. J'aime- rais a les voir reflechir et considdrer la difference que cela ferait dans mon releve de la reeolte, si j'etablissais une moyenne de mille livres au boucaut, comme quelques-uns d'eux vou- draient que je fisse ; on pourrait avec raison demander oh je trouve autant de boucauts de sucre, que personne ne verrait que moi-meme. Je desire done, qu'il soit bien entendu que je prdtends dire que les habitations sucri&res de la Louisiane four- nissent au commerce du pays des boucauts de sucre de toutes capacite3, ainsi que de toutes qualitds. Du reste, chacun sait fort bien que nos planteurs ont le droit de faire leurs boucauts de la grandeur qui leur convient. En faisant mon estime du total de la rdcolte en livres, j'ai pense d'apres mes recherches faites, qu'il serait rationel d'adop- ter un average de 1150 livres par boucaut, sur la totalite de la reeolte. Les sucres ayant dte gdndralement de bonne qualitd. Le produit de 52 habitations exploitees par le vacuum ou nouveaux proeddes, se montant a 44,573 boucauts, je classe comme un article a part, tel que sucre rafine, clarifie, etc., etc. Les proijptoirrr manufactures me rapportent 46 dans leurs rdcoltes, les fonds de citernes, et quelques uns, meme du sucre de melasses, parfois d'assez mauvaise quality. J'ai trouve parmi les sucreries en operation dans l'Etat, que 1,298 ont produit 362,296 boucauts sucre, pesant ensemble 414,196,000 livres, de toutes sortes y incluant les fonds de citernes selon l'estimd que j'en ai fait; sur 987 des susdites habitations on se sert de vapeur, et sur 311 de chevaux comme force motrice. Le produit des melasses n'^i pas ete aussi abondant que dans les annees precedentes, j'ai, en consequence, pense qu'en- viron 60 gallons par mille livres de sucre serait un estime convenable, c'est-&,-dire, 24,887,760 gallons contre 19,578,790 l'annee derniere. Respectueusement, P. A. CHAMPOMIER. Nouvelle-Orieans, 22 Mars, 1859.
