The News.

We are making such arrangements
to receive the very latest intelligence,
as will enable us to publish the same,
ahead Of any extra which may make
its appearance, from Vicksburg; thus
far, we have been compelled to depend
upon the courtesies Of a few friends,
who have kindly remembered that
we were, and still are, laboring under
disadvantages. "The world was not
made in day." as the old saying
is, neither can all the little requisites
attached to the publishing of a daily
paper, be obtained, until diligent
exertions, and considerable expendi-
ture Of money and loss of time is
made on the part Of the publisher.
As yet, We have heard Of no com
plants, but on the contrary, feel
proud i'll rcmarking that we believe
our endeavors are appreciated, by
the citizens generally, of Shreveport !;
true, We have not met with the success,
pecuniarily, that we would desire {;
however, we are satisfied. and have
no fault to find ; in fact, taking into
consideration the dullness oft he times,
it would be ridiculous for us to COM
plain, All we ask, Of our merchants,
and persons wishing us success, is
to patronize us to the extent they
can without inconvcniencing them
selves. Whoever thinks we have
already realized handsome fortune
or independcncy. labors under !: mis-
take, and need not call upon us with
the expectation Of getting any loans; !;
be the rate of percentage, whatit may.
We are doing a bauking business, and
have plenty of paper, but it don't
pay.
Shreveport daily news., 1861-04-25
It's q Fact.

All the news that has come to hand
thus far, seems to be nothing more
than a composition of repctitions,
with slight additions and contradic-
tions, stretched, in length, as much
as the mind of an individual can well
do it, to make it appear in the eyes
of the ignorant, a thing full Of the
most startling intelligence; while on
the contrary, it amounts to nothing
at all. The whole particulars could
be told in as many words as there are
lines. More r,lmors exist than reali-
ty; and it is very difficult to form
any definite opinion, as to the true
state Of affairs. Telegraphic items,
like many other things, can be made
to suit the appetite of the eager news
seeker, and unless received from a
responsible source. may be any thing
but correct. The news received in
our city, such as it is, up to date, we
think, is ,mdoubted.

DISPATCH SENT NORTH.

MONTGOMERY, April l4.-George
n. Sanders has sent the following
dispatch to Dean Richmond, Mayor
Wood and August Belmont:
zone hundred thousand mercenary
soldiers cannot occupy and hold Pen
sacola. The entire South is under
arms. Negroes strengthen the military.
Fort Pickens clnquickly be beconquered.
Northern Democrats are standing by
the South. The Northern States
and people are not held responsible for
Lincoln's acts unless endorsed by
them. State sovereignty is fully re-
organized. New York, protects your
social and commercial ties by resisting
Republican and Federal aggression.
Philadelphia should repudiate the
action of the Legislature. The com
lnercp of Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey is safe when distinguishable.
