Trxth from an U1ssxal Soxvce.-
Wendell Phillips is not an authority
we are very apt toquote. But he did
say one true thing when he uttered
this statement:
Ifa gun is fred in the Southern
waters, it is fired at the wharves Of
New York, at the bank vaults of Bos-
ton, at the money Of the North.

The New York Herald says the
following measures must at once COM
mand tho attention Of Congress upon
its assembling:
l. A National Bank. with $780,
OO0. 900 Of capital, So as to give the
country q currency at once uniform
and secure.
2. Agensral bankrupt law. to con-
troll the State banks and relieve bust
ness mon from tho difficulties brought
upon them by causes other than their
own indiscretion.
3. An equalization Of the tariff,
which will reduce the duties that arc
now prohibitory, and raise those which
arc unfairly low to an equitable stand
ard.
Every good cause should be liberal
" cuskAined. though it cost us many
Privatioas.

Grass IN Their Skreets.-We have
a letter. written by prominent and
respectable business man Of New York I,
a gentleman we'll known in Louisville,
in which 10 enclosed aparcel Of grass.
which he assures US was plucked from
tho middle Of one Of the principal
streets Of that city.
This is the effect Of the administra-
tons unholy war. Tho principal
trade Of New York was with the South;
Southern gold enriched her merchants
dividends from Southern stocks made
plethorl~ ~ pockets of her millionares
Southern product filed her ware
houses and freighted the ships that
crowded her harbor; but all is lest;
and the silent streets, the deserted
hotels, the closed placesof amusement
and recreation, every place and every
thing witnesses that the glory Of the
once proud metropolis is gone. and
gone too, forever. for the trade of the
South will never return.-Lo1,svi4<

outrageous conduct of the Zouaves in

of the Zouaves in Alexandra we

Fighting. xilli,g aaA Hanging.

- H
We have just received intelligence
Of fracas, which occurred in the q
.trelae Nsfthern pert Of the parish.
near the Arkansas line. It seems
that family living there, bearing
the name Of Kirkham, had made
themselves obnoxious to the neigh
borhood, and had been notified to
leave within a specified time. The
time having expired. the vigilance
company, headed by a person named
Holly, called at Kirkham's house to
make them leave; whereuPon they
were fired upon, and the FIRE was re-
turned. There were four persons
killed. and a negro woman wounded.
The names Of the killed We were un-
able to ascertain.
We also understand that q man
was found hanging to tree, ten miles
below our city, near Wallace Lake,
close to the fishing point. The body
was discovered on last Saturday. but
could not be identified. though sup
posed to have been a resident of city.
From appearances the body must
have been suspended there for three
or four weeks. Particulars not
known.
Our company Of Firemen are about
organizing themselves into an Artil-
lery Company. Three cheers for
tho Shreveport Fireman; a better
looking company amt to be scared up

Fironen's Turnout.

Fironen's Turnout.
The members of Shreveport Fire
Company, as per notice published
yesterday-m morning. made a grand par
.de, and trial Of their engine. Though
the merchin :" worked hard, it is
positive that in case Of need, "Cad-
do No. l - would do a vast amount
Of good. and we would suggest the
using Of a different "nosle," from
either that we saw. A goodly num-
ber of boys we're sprinkled on the oc-
casion. Every man At the brakes
worked well. with few exceptions
some working against the others; this
we presume, was for the want Of in
struction. After the trial. they pa
raded a few streets, and returned to
the engine house. The excitement
among the boys was great. During
all of this, black boy fell down in
the street with fits.
A Sad Accidest.- W. regre. to
state that Capt. Charles Van Damme.
lost his life yesterday accidsntly. He
was at the time engaged in polishing
with sand paper a steel plato. used in
the manufacture of percussion caps,
and in which there was a eight flaw
A very small quantity Of percussion
powder, lodged in this flaw, was ex-
ploded by the friction Of the sand pa
per. The explosion unfortunately
communicated with small quantities
Of the powder under the plate, which
was projected against his forehead
with such momentum al to carry
away a portion of the skull and brains
and pass on to the ceiling.
Capt. Van Damme was = Belgia,
by birth, fine scholar, and had al
extsnsiSe fund of military information
He was very efficient in the knowl
edge of pyrotechnics, and the manu-
facture Of Illuminating and detonatinl
powders. He had been for some tim
past in the employment of the State
manufacturing percussion caps.
The death Of Capt. Van Damn
will not interfere with the manufac
ture of percussion caps. Thearrange
ments are 80 perfect, that they can b
carried on without him, and 5000
manufactured daily.-NashviNe Pa,

road leading to Centreville, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed in front OF
our entire line, but at distance ranging
from five to two miles.
At o'clock our left under Brigadier Cen
erals Evans, jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 7th and 9Th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about Is 900, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with
compact column of at least $4,000 These
approaching columns encountered each other
at IL o'clock. t-t
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded bills where they
supposed our centre lay. At quarter past
H. Johnston and Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
csely at IL O'Clock. By half-past IL, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had th1s far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, aud the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dustI When it moved to the right. we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved 10 the left we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to
