Communicated. j..
y Word TO the Boys.
New Orleans, June, 1861.

We would suggest to the boys the
proprie.y OF having Il meeting at the
Court House this evening, to appoint
a suitable person as their leader and
orator tor tomorrow. We think the
people OF Shreveport would admire us
and it would be infinitely better than
running about the street making a
noise.
This would be manly. and il would
show the people what boys can do.
Let US have Il procession, don't he
scared. for we can tind among lis a
boy who will deliver as powerful an
oration rs anybody. BE sure 10 meet
at the Court House tonight.
BOYS.

Sevard's PropAecies.-Mr. Seward
has been exceedingly unfortunate as
a prophet. He prophesied in Dccem-
Der that there would be no war; and
that the whole secession movement
would come to an end in a given
number Of days. Subsequently, he
prophesied again to the same effect,
and actually shorted the time. At a
still later day, he yet again assured a
business man who consulted him.
that there would be no interruption
of the public peace and counselled
him to make the large purchases he
contemplated, on the faith of his
prophetic assurances!

Dear MotAer.-I received your
kind letter, day-before-yesterday and
with it the bundles of paper sent by
Mr.. Gill.
All are well in camp, and in fine
spirits; we are very glad to hear that
the good ladies of Shreveport have
been so kind to us. We feel cheered
also by the provision Of the Police
Jury.
We are encamped on the sea shore,
and the breeze is quite cool; day-be-
fore yesterday it was most too cool,
and would have been comfortable

Some FIVE or six hours after their de-

to camp at Bethel, in Il somewhat ex-

party. numbering twenty or thirty

The Enemy.


The following which we find in the
New Orleans Picayune. is too true,
and unless we are very guarded, when
and where we least expect him, the
enemy exhibits himself to our full
gaze, and CONSERVATION.
IKE Enemy at oxv Doors.-While
we are remaining in fancied security,
and boasting of the impossibility
of the invasion Of our shores by the
enemy, feet takes possession Of
Ship Island and the sound, and cuts
off our communication with Mobile.
while another of the enemy's ship
blockades the mouth Of the Atchafa-
laya. Where is our feet Of gunboats,
and why are they permitted to lie idle
when there is plenty Of opportunity
for them to exercise their skill and
bravery by having small tea party
with light craft Of the enemyl
Well may our contemporary ask
Where is oar feet of gunboats," etc,
At the very commencement of our
present difficulties, we directed atten-
ton to the city Of New Orleans as the
point Of attack by the federalists. We
have not yet had any good reasons to
change our views on the subject, on
the contary we look upon it now as a
fixed fact. The skirmishes which
have taken place amount to nothing
yet, in the end they may prove very
disastrous. for it isevident that our at
tention is to be edirected in every quar-
ter but the right one. This much we
give the enemy, is a great advantage.
Our troops are concentrated-where
A great distance from the principal
point, New Orleans. The ma jority
Of our readers, doubtless, will disa-
gree with US, as regards the probabil-
ity of the above city being the scene
of action, We cannot hel p it; we think
thus, and therefore express our
thoughts.
At the time of the withdrawing of
our States from the Union, illusions
were made to them, as they follow
ed each other, step by step, in the
great movement. DO our readers not
remember that it was ut the
North, eve can let that State go,
but Louisiana. we must keep, we can
never relinquish our claimsupon her"
etc, yes, those We're the expressions,
or language tantamount to the same
thing. They look upon the Crescent
city, with untold jealousy; they
fear her future, for they know her
Importance, and in her prosperity
they see the downfall of their once
great city. They feel the hand Of
poverty pressing upon them they
rave as their rival looms up before
their vision, recognized by the for
eigners, in the same light that they
We're wont to shine. When our re;-
ders mediate upon this, we know
they will think as we do, for It's but
natural.
