race of which you are worthy represen-
tatives. I hesitated not between disgrace
and the disbanding of our company. IF
there can be any consolation at the pain
ful alternative left to us, I find it in the
certainly that my action has met your
appreciation and that of all our yell yis-

T Captain J.. j. Ducots's communi.
cationawill be found in another part Of this
page. We regret to have to chronicle the
disbanding Of his finecompany, the Duco-
t. Guards recruited among some our most
worthy citizens. Capt. Ducote has surren.
dered to the force of circumstances, in
order not to be an obstacle in the way Of
more successful recruiting officers than
himself in Avoyelles. His resolve is pa
triotic and entities him to high regard
from our people. Infantry, it seems, is no
longer the'go in Louisiana. But beware!
the government at Richmond will not al
ways furnish our volunteers with induce
ments as brilliant as those furnished to-
day to captain r. N. Boone, for which
We congratulate him.
Capt. Ducote retires from the field Of
action. His pride was to give his native
parish the credit tof a .f1A company for the
,,resent war. Success has not responded
to his expectations, and We intimately
believe that no one has deliberately acted
against him in his noble undertaking.
You part from your companv, captain,
but our grateful people do not part from
YOU; they will always remember your
patriotic zeal, and cali for your valuable
SERVICES again upon any field where and
whenever tru. and good men are always
,ireiretl.

GEN. BEarREGiRD,

": announced some days ago that
General Btaurega,d has been transferred
from his position on the Potomac to the
command Of ,h.' forces at Columbus. We
cannot witness his departure without ex-
r-s-l,lg the deep sens. Of admiration and
gratitude irl is fel. towards him by
the p,opl" "t Virginia. military and civil,
Mud &c !ht wJ,ole South within her limits.
The eyt ousias,n which was akindled for
him, by the successful reduction Of Fort
Sumter. has been only increased and in
ttnsiiiel bv his subsequent services IN
the banks IF the Potomac. He was then
comparatively ali Ill, known man. and
there were. many wl,o said that, although
he had served with marked distinction in
the Mexican war, his services at Charles
ton were too narrow a foundation upon
whicl, to build up the reputation OF
sr-a, man Al! acknowledge now, howev-
FL, that the brilliant power Of tn. RISING
sun has beep mole than surpassed by its
meridian glory. For nearly year Gen,
B.eurrgard has been tried in the presence
aud under the close inspection Of the as
sembled South in Virginia, OF the enemy
at Washington, and OF an Interested
world. 1t is needless to say that he has
come out of the furnace like pure gold,
aud now stands by common consent one
Of the first military men whom America
has ever produced His very name has
become tower of strength as we'll as glo-
ry te our cause and is held by the enemy
in degree Of wholesome terror which
they scarcely afectto conceal The battle
of Manassas will long remain an immor-
tai laurel about his head. The brilliant
qualities Of the soldier are only equaled
by the virtues and modesty of the man.
There is a :" daily beanty in his life "
which is as charming to those who know
him most intimately as in the splendor Of
his military character to the world at
large.
As gentleman Of the highest tone Of
honor. and the most rigid and exemplary
virtues, he woulll command respect even
il not distinguished by talent. 1t is need
less to say that he is the idol Of the sol
diers, to whom his a,aiable qualities have
united him with hooks of steel, SO that
they would follow him to death, not only
from confidence in his leadership, but
from devotion to his person. The cores
pondent Of the London Times, in sketch
ing this illustrious general, spoke Of the
stern gravity Of his demeanor, which, in
his ikenesses, approaches almost to So
lennity.
It is the face indicating what we most
like and respect amongst mankind, the
rarest of characters among our race, a
single.minded, earnest man. A patriot
and an honest man indeed, man with
out guile, who loves the Southern cause
from his heart Of hearts, and not because
it gives him distinction Or power, is this
noble Creole gentleman and Christian
hero. He is willing to serve in any place,
aud under anybody, go that he can serve

The kensas B.isand's Expedition.

We have hEana-.,alfel attention to the
preparations that az being made by the
Fedora! land pirate .)i'ne Lane to make
grand expedition from Kansas south
ward in Westers -Arkansas and North
ern Texas. He has, 1t is alleged, obtained
a carte b''unctc fran the Washington Go
vernnent TO conduct his operations in this
campaign upon his own principles, which
are know1, to abllor the usual courtesies
Of civilized warfare as nature does va.
cunm.
Lanes force, We are unable to state
upon Northern authority, will consist Of
$4,000 cavalry, 10000 infantry. 1000
flying artillery. 1900 fusileprs, 1000 In
dlens and 1000 negroes. max ing total
of $4,000. The negroes are to be taken
from the fugitive slaves in kansas. and
will be used as drivers Of wagons and
carts, and to perform other drudgery
deemed too degrading for yankee hands.
He expects to obtain seven regiments
from Illinois, four from Wisconsli, three
from Iowa, three from f'l,io, two from In
diana, and five from Kansas. One of the
regiments will be made up Of miners, and
another will BE- composed entirely ofme-
chanics, such as railroad and bridge build
ers, wagon makers, blackslniths, ioll-foun-
drymen, har.ess-makers, boat builders.
etc, who will he equipped with all need
fill tools and implements, tn. Lincoln
Government having appropriating $780,
600 for that purpose. -
The most remarkable feature of this
expedition is the mal,..er in which it is
expected to sub>ist during the progress
ofits movements 1t is generally under
stood dthat Lame has given I4inc"ln assu-
RANGES tat the government $ all b- sub
.jected to no EXPENSE in supporting his
army, beyond furnishing the outfit, as it,
is his intention that his men shall feed
themselves from tln. resources of th.,
country and "tlle rebels granaries" whit.
ON the march. In evidence OF his canlor
in this matter, th,. briyand chief proposes
to carry with linn a horse power sawlnill
and 500 portable or hand flour mills, thus
pillaging as he goes, anil feeding his men
trom hand to mouth. ~.
The field Of, operations assigned this
Vandal expedition by Lincoln is stated
to be Kansas, Southwestern Missouri,
Arkansas. the Intiau Territory, "and as
much further South as it chooses ~ Veal
ture.' The Cincinnati Gazette says that
it is Lanes intention to quarter his forces
at New Orleans by April next, and that
be expect to reach that point by way Of
Red river throuy:' the northeastern pass
thence into Louisiana on the Gulf of
Mexico. This programme is certainly
Napoleonic one in its conception. and is
quite as apt to be realized as the onward
move Of Scott to tlle same point of tlasti-
nation via Richmond and Montgomery,
which was so confidently assigned him
by the New York Times previous to the
battle Of Manassas. MempA1s A,peai.
We should not be greatly surprised if
some of Lanes men should BE- quartered
in this city by April next. AS Tor the
numbering thief himself, we hope to hear
Of his being hanged, drawn and quartered
before that time. ~ O. Crescent.
