1t was resolved that every steamboat com
ing within the limits Of the parish for the
purpose # trading goods brought from
within tie enemy's lines, Or for the Pur-
pose Of carrying goods rh.rc, uuGer the
enemy's permit, should bcseizcd and held
until reported to the nearest Confederate
Major General, and that parties in charge
OF such boat should be held ii custody or
discharged, at the option Of majority Of
the committee. All citizens found trad
ing with such parties were to be deemed
suspicious and arrested. If upon exami-
nation the committee may fnd them guilty,
they are to be turned over to the proper
legal tribunal to be tried for treason under
the act of the Confederate Congress pro
hibiting trading with the enemy. All
good citizens were required to assist in
carrying cut the resolutions, and the dif
ferent committees Of the adjoining parishes
were requested to cooperate in general
system for the purpose Of wholly defeating
all efforts Of the enemy to open trade with
the interior.
Much sympathy was expressed for the
suffering poor il New Orleans, who are
virtually prisoners, and willingness ox-
pressed TO assist in maintaining them ii
they could be got out Of the cnemy'> lines
They seem very well convinced that 20
send provisions to them would inp"Yerish
ourselves for tile benefit of the enemy.
A public meeting of the citizens Of
Caddo and Bossier was held at Bayou

a-y- \ friend Of ours had the impulence
to -ay lasi Sunday moning that TIE war was
about 10 cnl, for the editor Of the Telegraph
Wa actually dressed liSe a gentleman. AMI ~
strange an event portcnled som cthing
We turn that fellow over to the ladies for
sentence. TtcY are not going to suffer any
one to make game Of u.
The truth was We were little particular
that dny in honor Of the Texas soldiers. Col.
Nelson's regiment os infantry had arrived and
encampcd in bea utiful shady grove about
mile from town. The Col. himself, and Iii
officers, and men, all made the most favorable
impression upon u, and we determined To pay
our respects. In company with the identical
reprobate We visited the camp, and spent the
greater part Of the day with the Col AMI bis
officers, dining with them on camp fare. II
was as pleasant visit as we have had for
many day, the remembrance of which
will cause a. % watch anxiously the future f3r-
tunes Of 4 regiment. which shows itsef % de-
sirous Of cutivaring amidst the roughness Of
camps, all the courtesies Of gentlemen.
