UL ?1 I 1 ? Louisiana.?Washington,* April 7.?Specials t from New Orleans to Northern papers representthe Nicholla showing buforo the commission as fatally superior to Pochard's in yestervlay's proceedings. It is thought the inevitable result will be ranohed much earlier thaa was expected. . Packard himself has forced the fighting to his own disoomfiture. The 7Ym?e has the following ediloral: "The , Louisiknaooiumissioners havesutercd upon their ( task of conciliation and compromise, and already begin to find it up-hill work. Governor Packard ' exhibits a disposition as tar removed from torn- < promise as ceuld well be imagined, end will hear : no prcpoeale whatever wbieh de not proceed upon the assumption that he is the legally elected Executive of the State. If the eomuiasien can point a flaw in his Ude, he is willing to have the Legislature reconvened in order to recanvassthe j vote, but net otherwise. If the United States troops are removed, Packard promises te test ' his ability to keep his place by force of arms, ami he happens to be a man who in a matter of * this kind can be trusted to keep his vv>rd. As it is equally certain that the President will leave 1 tlto contestants to themselves as soon as all pos- (, siblo means of bringiug about a settlement have been exhausted, the dangers of a civil conflict in ~ ' Louisiana are by no nicaus at an end. That consideration will lead the country to regurd tho u labors of the commission with some additional 11 solicitude. Fkutilizkrk.?Long trains of wagons, averaging not less than ten, have been passing I tbrougli our streets every day for the past two 3 weeks, on their way to Clinton. They return laden, chiefly with fertilisers. We regard it quite problematical whether these large ship* r meats ef fertilizers are benefloiel to the farming * Interests of jtho county, or [otherwise., Wo 5 have observed one fact in regard to this fertili- j zer business, viz: The farmers who buy the most guano, raise little or no grain, but make big crops of cottoW, are geuernlly Diehardest up of any other class. Such men generally buy all _ their supplies on credit, during the summer, at ruinous prices, are compelled tosell their cetton early in the fall for whatever they can get, and w.hcn they settle with their employees, and pay G some other debts, (for they rarely pay all) they have no money left. Hence, they must ask for v credit. It is this class of men who fail to pay their little debts?such as tho printer's dues, for lt instance. We are not, by any means, opposed to the use a: .* of fertilizers. Wo know they are iudispcnsable w JL to much of the land of this County, but we . K would suggest the propriety of buying less of ' - the commercial fertilizers and the farmer making Cl more in his own barn yard, or elsewhere.? J.aurtnsviilt Herald. ^ L At EST FROM THE COMMISSION?WAUMOUTU r( Abandons Packard.?New Orleans, Saturday, April 7.?A committee of the Nicliolls Legislature bad a two hours' secret consultation to-day d with tV?A rnrnmiMinnhPfl Thft OAinmtHna a detailed vcrbntin statement of the condition of atluirs, and will soon present a written statement. The Commission, early next week, will w visit the Legislature and State officers. Packard's Supreme Judges also had an interview as t > tho status of their Supreme Court. Lieutenant-Governor Wilts and Speaker Bush, of the Kicholls House, with many members of the Assembly, invited Hon. S. S. Cox to address them. Cox replied that he would be glnd to do so, but iu the sensitivo condition of the public mind " here, which a breath might disturb, ho preferred f< not to discuss public matters, but as he believes c< the affairs of Louisiana can be settled by her a own people, ho declines to speak. Harlan had a long interview wi ll Packard. In the evening Cl the members of the Nicholls Supreme Court, by p invitation, called on the Commission. ? Kx-Govcrnor W'arinoutli made a speech to-day ^ * in the Packard Legislature in which lie urged them to abandon their organization and take 11 seats in the Nicholls Legislature. fi Penitent Patterson. Washington, April 4.?The interview between- Senator Patterson and Governor tVade Hampton 1 I ant night, was brought about in this wise: Last J evening Senator Patterson stmt his son to Senator 1 Guidon it->l?lug him il? lie could arrange for him a t Pal lemon) to have an interview with Governor 1< ilampion. Die desire of Patterson was coiutuuniealed to Governor Hampton, who said lie T would be plcuscd to see him. Whereupon an d hour was appointed, and Patterson called lie b assured Governor* Hampton Mint while lie had K antagonized his claim to the ("hibernaloral scat, a that now since his right to the ollice had been p virtually established by tho action of the I'rcsi- u lent and Cabinet, lie was willing to forego all h factious oppaailion, anil accept the situation and do what lie conl 1 to promote the welfare of South ti Carolina. Governor Hampton said ho was s pleased to hear s ich expressions from him, and fi that he would, as Governor, administer the ollice for the good of the whole people, and with 110 special reference to parties. The interview lasted over fifteen minutes, and was exceedingly cordial and pleasant. ' | Trapping Gut Worms in Oardkns.? f It is very uunoyiug, after having sot out a ' iiioo lot of sweet potatoes or cabbage plants, ? to sec them out down, one by one, by cut worms. We have tried ashes, lime, soot, j and, in fact, everything wo have ever hoard t of, but nover found anything effectual until, by aocidcrtf, we found three or lour of the ( umgpi ;, one morning, gathered under a small ( board,, which had been left, by sotno children qn-ftsweet potato hill. Acting upon this hint, a -sue ptnctol small pieces of board, large chips, ^ etc., all through the patch, and wc trapped chain by hundreds. The boards must bo lifted early in the morning, and, on very warm days, again about noon. 1 ?? Miss Louisiana Gordon.?Washington, April 4.?Senator Gordon has a young daughter, born four days ngo, at Willard's Hotel, lie first con- i template! naming it Carolina, in honor of the " liberation of the Palmetto State. Tho fact that I ho bus nlready a daughter named Carrie caused u a reconsideration, lie says now that he will 1 wait until the Louisiana dillieulty is settled, and will then name the young Miss Louisiaua, in r honor of the complete emancipation of the ' South.
