Still Further EnCOMium.

The following very complimentary
notice of ourselves and undertaking
we find in that good paper the Mad
ison Democrat, published iii Madi
son Parish, by Mr.. L. L. LENNARD,
Editor and Proprietor:
The SHREVEPORT DAILY News.
We are glad to see that this spicy,
go-ahead little daily, just the right
size, has become one of the permanent
institutions OF Shreveport. The cit
liens of Shreveport ought to be
thankful that John Dickinson, Esq
the editor and proprietor, saw fit to
select their city as a place for daily
paper, particularly in times like
these, when the latest news from the
seat of war is the all-absorbing topic,
and which can can only be furnished
by daily paper. As regards the
gentleman himself, all we will say is.
that if perseverance. industry, and
good practical sense, has any claims
on the public for patronage, then
John Dickinson, Esq, should have a
large share.
We wish we could make some of
the folks about here understand you
friend Leonard, but it's no use, many
who can will not aid us. Consola-
tion-we can do without their coun-
tenance.

A Battle in Missouri.

The news received, since our last
is cheering, it brings us the pleasant
intelligence of another victory over
the enemy, Of their complete defeat
and their fight. We know not how
it is, but the greatest race in the
world for running. would appear to be
the hounds with whom we have deal
ings now, we have no recollection Of
their equals on foot.
The fight we allude to, occurred
eight miles south of Springfield; the
enemy's loss was from twenty three
hundred to three thousand.
The full particulars, as regards a
correct number Of both forces, etc We

but was broaght up by the bay onet.
"Send for the Captain and he'll give
you the word, hedad." The inter
cession was unnecessary, for two po-
icemen came up in hot pursuit, and
the General who was sitting by, or
dered the guard TO deliver their prisn-
ncr to the civil power. For some
extraordinary reason this act moved
the prisoner to the greatest gratitude
and taking off his cap he exclaimed.
"T hank you, General long life TO
YOU. Indeed, General, I'm greatly
obliged to you on this account" An
other sentry who challenged an Off

him. ':Do you know the conntcr-
