KTRE's TERRY RANGERS. ,.az t..a
The Kinks Ferry Rangers a home guard, coIn-
posed of citizens of the parishes Of Catahoula and
Tensas, under the command of Capt. E. Lloyd
Wales, met on the parade ground at the Ferry on
the 2lst OF September, and in view of the impor-
tance of the struggle in which the Southern Con-
federacy is engaged, adopted the following pre-.
amble and resolutions
Whereas After a war Of several months dura-
ton, waged by the United States of the North
against the Southern COnfederacy, our people are
constrained to believe, from the barbarities which
characterize it wherever the minions of the North.
ern usurpers pollate our SOIL that it is to be war
of piliage and fire, of murder and rapiDe, aud OF
desolation and destruction, and that even to the
determination of our own race they seek the
abolition of the great domestic institution of labor
which not only underes our social structure, but
forms the basis OF prosperity at home, and of
our hopes of success as great people among The
nations of the earth. NJ -t...
Be it therefore ,s,..t. o.
Res0Iyed, That we deem it our solemn duty in
the midst of its present herculean labors, to give
public expression to our unbounded confidence in
the Government at Richmond and to our approval
OF the great hnanca! measures enacted by the late
Confederate Congress- Though which alone the
Government can be sustained aud our brave armies
comfortably maintained and kindly cared for while
/ fighting the battles of our common country.
, Y
bounden duty of every citizen to invest his last
available dollar, over and above his necessary ex-
penditures, in the eight per cent. Confederate
bonds, to enable patriolic President, with our
gallant soldiers, to drive the ruthless invaders from
our soil. And we do hereby invite our fellow
planters and other citizens no may have avail
able means, TO join in this manifestation OF our
own patriotic obligations.
The above resolutions were urged, In q few per-
tinent remarks, upon the favorable consideration
OF his fellow Rangers, by Or. L. ?. BlocksOm when
they were adopted without opposition and, i'll
compliance with the latter one, several hundred
bales of cotton were subscribed promptly to the
Confederate loan.
Dr.. Bocksom then offered the following resou-
tions, which were unanimously adopted, to wit:
ReSolred, That we do most cordially approve of
the patriotic efforts OF Governor Moore and the
managers of our Louisiana Banks, in their united
efforts to sustain the credit OF the Confederate Gov
ernment, and to maintain at par its bonds and
Treasury notes, the latter of which must, from
cesslty become the chief currency OF the country.
And that however much we might deprecate the
stoppage of specie payment by said banks under
ordinary circumstances, yet, believing the require
'mcntS Of the. Government and the welfare OF the
people demanded the measure, We deem it to bet the
duty of the citizens of State at the ballot box,
to endorse their conduct, and through their Repre-
senatves to afford, within the purVieu Of the Con-
stituton, the relief to which these institutions, as
consequence, will be justly entitled.
| ReSOlred, That it Is with a seGse of profound
| qualification we have witnessed, from the begin
ming of the revolution, the unremtting efforts Of
| the noble.hearted merchants and other patriotic
citizens Of New Orleans, to equip and sustain our
brave soldiers in the field, and we cordially appre-
| ciate and sympathZc with them in their kind pro-
vision for the sick, the wounded and the disabled
of our troops elsewhere; that while we exercise a
just pride in according this weli-merited tribute to
their goodness, DO not hesitate to express our
unfeigned disgust and Indignation for the conduct
| of those specializing harpies il their midst, who
combine to fleece the Government in every posi-
WIN amid I'm nF
righteous, just and patriotic war; to depreeiate
the true value Of our national currency, to specu-
| late upon the wants and necessities of our people,
| and by mercenary combinations, to place beyond
| the reach of the poor the neGessdres of life We
furthermore urge upon our fellow citizens of New
Orleans that these worse than iendish cormurants
be driven ont of their community. 1t fur
ther-
