Louisiana.—A late number of the Natchitoches Reporter bears the following testimony to the progress of improvement in the north western part of that State.

"The changes that have taken place within a very few years in the north-western parts of Louisiana, have been most extraordinary. In the parish of Caddo, where a few years since but a very few white men existed, the hunting grounds of the Caddo tribe are converted into beautiful and extensive farms tilled with the best agricultural skill. Almost every quarter section of land has its inhabitant. Every thing around has an air of freshness to mark the character of the population, and flourishing schools are patronised by all"
