Departure of the Shreveport Grays
from Shreveport.
Interesting MISUNDERSTANDING Of the
North Observation-Disclosures and
Patriotism of the Ladies. &c.
To the Editors of the Picarune:

STEAMER LOUIS DOR, April II, 1851.
This splendid passenger packet
has just arrived, bringing the Shreve-
port Grays. The first gun of Fort
Sumter aroused the patriotism of that
young city. Before call had issued
from the Governor, or it was certain
that their services would be accepted,
this splendid company. consisting OF
III privates, under Capt. Beard, were
already on their way to respond to
the call OF their country.
1t was our fortune to witness their
departure and accompany them to the
city. Our infant neighbor, Shrevc-
port, was in a blaze OF excitement
and enthusiasm. The whole popu-
iation turned out to wi,uess the de-
parture of this company. Never have
we seen more affecting sight than
the wharf OF that city presented on
this occasion. Not one of the assem-
bled thousands bu, exhibited profound
emotion; hundreds of ewes unused
TO weep We're heavy with tears. and
strong manhood forgot its stoicism in
an unresistab!e sympathy with the
occasion.
Shreveport is in flame of militia
ry patriotism. The Gravs are al
ready here, without a summons,
craving employment. The Grand
Duke follows, with the Caddo Rifles,
under Capt. w. L. Shivers. Over
two hundred men from so small a
city-uumbering less than twenty
five hundred population-gives token
Of public sentiment there. 1t is
usual to characterize volunteers by
the most hattering epithe,s, but the
character of the material OF the Grcys
is beyond all praise. The best citi-
zens, the Very best men of Shrcvc-
port-its gentiemen-make up the
file OF this company. Capt; Jamas
III. Beard is worthy of his command,
and will make his mark, or nature
made mistake when she marked the
man. II the war lasts, we shall hear
from James III. Beard, now captain
The three iicutenants are Geo.
Williamson, Leon u, Mark and b
L. Hodge, late delegates from Caddo
to the State convention. These
gentlemen are too well known to the
public to need any comment from
us.
As a further evidence of the en-
thusiasm of the community, eight or
ten Of the patriotic ladies of Shrcve-
port, together with the amiable wife
of Capt. johnson, of the steamer
Louis Dor, with their sewing una
chimes, accompanied this gallant corps
