The pirAtical bark of Rebellion is re-
firing slowly from the waters of the
Union to the gulf of Eternal Shame and
Perdition. 1t leaves without any regret
on the part of humanity.
''No friends upon the lesseuing strand
Lnger 10 wave the unseen hand,
Or speak the farewell, heard no more;
But lone, UNDECIDED from the bay,
The vessel takes It's mOurRfu way,
Like some -destned bark that steers
In silence through the Gate Of Tears"

A Word to the People.

1t is evident that our enemies, the
Federals, are fully determined to
overrun our country, and lay waste
everything that comes in their way.
Let US then. as a sensible people, BE-
prepared for any and all emergencies
and not console ourselves with the
thought that there is ample time for
preparation, for there IS nat. Every
moment lost will prove to our disad-
vantage and discontinue. Our peo-
pie for the past few months have
been talking much and doing little,
while a vast deal Of labor is before
US. AS we stated in a previous ar
ticle, we firmly believe that the enc
my will visit Shreveport, for the
purpose, probably, of cutting off the
transportation Of troops and provis-
ion from our gallant sister State,
Texas, whose resorces are now com
ing to light. Already have the Fed
erals put their feet upon the gulf
shore of Texas, and ere long they
will venture into the interior, on their
GRAND of devastation, with what re-
suits we fear predicting.
Our brave soldiers in the field need
clothing, this they mast hare, and
should our fears be realized, how are
we to meet these just demands from
our friends battling for US, and their
country! These are questions of
vast moment, and we trust will be
so regarded by every person who
may chance to see these lines. Eel
low countrymen, if there ever was Il
time for immediate action, this is it..
Be on the alert, and also look sharp
to the contrabands watch their every
maneuvre, and be always prepared.
We are no alarmist, and pen these
our honest thoughts, with the belief
that they may be Of benefit in some
manner. Let us offer up to the AL
mighty our prayers like people
possessed Of faith, and we will be
heard.

PLUNDERING GENERAL TAYLOR'S
PLANTATIoN.-The Vermont Waich
man and State Journal contains a
letter from a soldier in the Vermont
sth, dated Camp Allemande, August
10Th, in which property Of General
Richard Taylor, a son Of General
Taylor (by whom 1t was bequathed
to him), was contiscated, the son be-
ing. now in the rebel army. The
slaves, one hundred and fifty in num-
Der, were all declared emancipated,
while the plantation was plundered
by the Union soldiers. The writer
says:
1t is one of the most splendid plan
tations that l ever saw. There are
on it 700 acres Of sugar cane which
must rot upon the ground if the gov
eminent does not harvest it. / wish
you could have seen the soldiers
plumber this plantation. After the
stock was driven off the boys began
by ordering the slaves to bring out
everything that was good to eat and
drink. They brought out hundreds
of bottles of wine, eggs, preserved
figs and peaches. turkeys, chickens,
and honey in any quantity.
I brought away large campkettle
and frying-pan that belonged to Gen
Taylor, and many of his private pa
pers. have one letter of his own
hand writing, and many from Score
tary Marcy-some from General
Scott, and some from the traitor
Floyd. I brought to camp four bot
ties of claret wine. Lieut..
brought away half a barrel Of the
best syrup from the sugar house, and
a large can of honey.
The camp-kettle and pan l intend

and justifying the hopes and tolls of

formed; and we pledge, without
hesitation, to the President Of the
United States, the NEST loyal and
cordial support. hereafter as hereto

Of his great Office. We recognize in
him the Chief Executive Magistrate

or from the gulf Of despotism. In
submission to the laws which may
have been. or which may be- duly

most vigor exercise of all our lawful

EARTHQUAKE AT MEMPHIs.-The
Memphis Bulletin of the LIST inst. has
the following:
We omitted to state yesterday,
that at about twenty minutes past 8
o'clock on Sunday morning, we were
visited by smart shock Of an earth
quake. The first movement was the
greatest. The house in which we
were sitting at the time felt as if heav-
ed up from below. This was succeed
ed by a number of regular vibrations.
A very few seconds of intermission
occurred, and then came the return
shock, consisting again of regular,
distinct, powerful vibrations. The
bed curtains in the chamber " ere put
in motion in the lower rooms, the
glasses and other small articles jim
gled on the shelves and tables. Per-
sons who were out of doors at the time
state that the shock twas preceded
by rumbling noise, which some mis-
took for distant thunder. The dura-
ton was fully one minute. We have
had two previous shocks of earthquake
within the last two years, but neither
Of them were so powerful as the shock
Of Sunday.
