This section Of country is per-

by the red man. is slight indeed.
The Rangers have all left here for
Fort Brown, to reinforce Col. Ford
We have one company of Mexican

scout on the road between Eagle Pass

heard of for some time past, cithe,
on this or the Mexican side of the

in active progress; corn is out of all

minor crops are equally good. The
season has been fine for grazing and
the prairics teen with fat cattle,

Paper Mill.

We. the other day. alluded to the
propriety of establishing . paper mill
in Shreveport. or At some conven-
lent point near our city. The pro-
priety Of this undertaking must be
apparent to every body. Let any
person figure up the amount Of paper
requisite for the consumption Of north
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and
it will prove an astonishingly large
amount; sufficient to keep in constant
operation good mill, at very fair
profit The quantity Of printing pa
per slo,se, which is used in the Sec
tons mentioned, would be found in
the aggregate to be beyond concep-
ton. Then there Is the article Of
comWop wrapping paper, used by
nearly every cornmercialhouse; which
in itself, at the expiration Of q year,
amounts to very large sum. 4 paper
mill could be carried on to advantage,
to supply merely these KINDS Of pa
per, if deemed advisable, and at n
cost not exceeding $4,000, which is
more than would be requisite by at
least So, 900, if We arc not much mis-
taken.
The thing can be accomplished by
making it q joint stock affair. and not
a single newspaper publisher about
here. we venture could be found who
would not cheerfully participate in the
enterprise. The shares, placing the
sum total at $4,000. could soon be
subscribed; for they you'd DO but
tritiing, say, let there be 100 shares,
at $50 per share. which We think very
low; and we predict that no difficulty
will be encountered in getting the
shares all taken up.
Let our contemporaries agitate the
establishment of a Paper Mill, and
use all their exertions towards accom-
plishing this object, it is to their ad-
vantage, and it will be an improve
lnent, to which we could refer with
pride.
We will4akc several shares, if re-
quisite. How would it do to have q
meeting Of newspaper publishers. to
take the matter into consideration,
and devise ways and means? The
meeting could be called month be-
fore hand enabling all to attend, We
could mest. either in the city of Shrcve-
port, or in the most central point;
organize the Company and proceed to
business. Shall it be donel To-day
we were called upon by a gentleman
from Texas, he wanted to get paper
