SHINPLASTERS.

At regular meeting Of the Board
Of Trustees Of our city, it was or
dained that the Mayor be authorized
to issue bills of the denomination of
fifty, taccnty and ten cents. to the
amount of two thousand dollars.
We are not inclined to find fault
with the doings of the Board at any
time, but in this instance cannot re-
frain from passing a few remarks on
the subject. That there is any ne
cessity for the issuance of these bills
we cannot conceive, nor can we un-
derstand how the people are to be
benefited. However, we are open to
conviction. The corporation drafts.
or scrip having been made legal
tender, we had hoped would suffice
for the transaction of business, and
still think so. Instead Of having a
beneficial effect, they will prove a
drawback to the community; a check
to commerce. Higher prices than
ever will be asked for every commo-
dity. The little specie now in cir
culation, will disappear in toto. The
purchaser will buy less, and the sell
Ter, as a natural sequence will not dis
pose Of his articles as at present.
The convenience will be over balanc-
ed by the inconvenience, and much
dissatisfaction evince1 by all parties,
until their disappearance. These
sentiments we feel confident are not
only held by us, but by every expe-
rienced person in the city Of Shreve-
port, as the Board will discover.

F1om Southwestern k~nfucI.y.-
The Memphis Avalanche of Monday
has the following
Adjutant General Pollock Il. Lee
from Gen Zollicotfer's command.
reached the city yesterday, and
brings an entire rcfuta-ion Of the
Cincinnati Commercial report about
the advance st Cen Sehoept- The
truth is on the other side. General
Zollicotfer, learning that it was the
intention of Schoepf to advance upon
him, took time by the torelocls and
made a forced march towards his
camp. Schocpf heard Of his approach
and fed with all possible haste, and
when Zollicotler got to his encamp-
ment he was eight hours ahead o:
him.
Cen Zollicotter is now securely
entrcnched, the precise point is not
necessary to be known; and we learn
that in the portion of kentucky i'll
which our army has been stationed,
the ssymrathies of the better class are
with our cause. The message Of
Lincoln. indicating that the war Is
one for the determination of slavery.
has given much dissatisfaction, and it
is said that the officers in the Fcdcr-
al army in that section of the country
evidently contemplate resisning.
Gen. Crittenden has gone to join
Gen. Zollicoiier, and we judge from all
we hear that II forward movement.
may be confidently anticipated at an
early day. But for misnanagemcnt
of those in command, in not atfording
proper facilities, we are led 80 Seheve
that Cen Zollicotfer would now have
been in Lexington.
