A correspondent Of the St. Louis Democrat,
writing from Matches Miss, March 20, says:
In Concordia and Tensas parishes, in Louisi-
ara, the rebels have recently caused much troU-
ble Nearly all the government plsnta tioBs in
that locality have received visits from msrsud-
ing parties to such an extent that labor upon
them has bean almost entirely suspended. The
FIRST attempt to break up the scheme for the pro-
duetion Of cotton was made more than 8 month
ago, BY the forces under Gen. Polignac. At
/ that time they came up nearly 10 the bank Of
the river, and within full view of Matches
Every plantation that they visited was stripped
Of mules and horses necessary FOR carrying on
work Since that lime the same deprsdatiOns
have been carried on By small bands OF the sB-
emy detached for the especial purpose. Several
lessess have been captured, bat in no case have
| they been taken to any distance.
They have been robbed Of all val1shles, and
in some instances stripped OF coats, hats and
boots. Ia one instAscs lessee wss robbed Of
every thisg except his drawers ami shirt, and
| LEFT 20 make his way to town, twenty miles dis
| tznt, en- foot. The rebels ssy thsy have re-
! eeived positive orders to break up all the plan
tstionB where there is an attempt at the prOdUe-
/ ton of cotton. They viii allow corn in small
quantities to be produced, but will allow no sx,
/ teDsiye cultivation.
| In the vicinity Of Waterproof several plsnta-
tons, that were in full operation, were made ths
| especial targets for vengeance. That section
was visited almost daily for two weeks, snd
| each time there was found something worthy o
! being stolen. Every male and horse that could
be found was driven of to the Ouachits disirie
for the benefit of the C0nfsdsrRcy. All good
u shat had been purchased for issaing to the ne
4 groes we're carried of, and in many csses th
negroes were robbed Of what had been sold =
them. The rebsls expressed Gvely desire 8
capture the horses, bus they were successful il
