WATER should be forbidden the citi-
zens of Shreveport, and in the Ian
guage of onr Of the guards at the

Of Boston things of this sort might
be expected. The majority of the
people, we opine are perfectly willing
to let the military monopolizc the
fast women, fast horses, huggics, etc.
but water. never! The water at the
water house, is sufficient for all. pro-
vided wagon loads of barrels full are
not permitted to be taken from there.
The citizens complain to us OF the
matter, and We lave to notice il, at
the risk of giving offence, however.
its our duty and we can't help it.
We are not grumblng, and as proof of
our statement, hold ourselves open
for compromise. If the military
want the water We'll take the wills
key, or vice versa. While on this
subject we suggest that horse racks
be put all orcr the city as pro,cc-
ton to fences. shed-posts, lamp-poSts.
and every other description of posts.
SO that government animals can lie
hitched, without mourning extra ,x-
penses on holders of property. who
think that, paying the tax they do.
ought to secure them some privilege
Of having their rights respected.

Lieut. GenI $. i. EucLucy.-AS
We have frequently heard the quc~-
ton asked, whether General Euckue-
was a military person before this
war for the information Of the unac-
quainted we would say that that he
is a graduate of Yves, Point. which
place he entered in 1910. graduating.
in 1874 with ho,tors. A, the breaking
out of the Mexican warlie was sil!ing
the position Of 4 mathematical! pro
fesSor at West Point. and giving up
the proftssorship, entered into active
service under Gen. Wool, but Wa
soon transferred to Gen. SCOTS COM
mand. He was present ut all the
battles fought by the corps to which
he belonged, and was wounded nj
the battle Of Cherubusco. At the
commencement of this war he was
the Inspector General of the Ken
lucky militia, which he resigned and
cast his lot with the Coutederacy-
We lcok upon him a. a gallant and
accomplished officer, and feel conf
dent that the people of this Depart.
ment will agree in our opinion, when
the occasion arrives to test his merits,
though, in all candor, we should think
tina, any person who is a newspaper

made their headquarters at the house OF lady, who,
hoping her privae and personal property would ne pro-
tected by the preseoce Of many officers, gave them

hospitality with what grace she could. Gen. Williams
proms her that her property should be respected and
get at the first meal he and tie hevng scoundrcs OF
bis staff stole the silver spoons and forks off the table
Iu the room they occupied was Bureau belonging to
the lady of the house, containing number of :resaes
and set of iurs After remaining three days, General
Williams left, aud the lady, going into her room and
6uding the bureau locked, congratulated herself that
her personal apparel was, at least unmoested Upon
opening the bureau however, it found to be empty

had stolen the dresses aud tu Of the lady whose root

GATHERINGS.

It seems almost absolutely certain that Savannah

themselves they could evidently do us much harm.
Some of the Georgia papers speculate upon report
that the expedition now at sea is destined for Charles
ton and rot for Wilmington. II is said that several
monitors have made their appearance Of Charlas-
tom The papers of the latter city make no mention Of
this.
None Of the papers received-Southern Iapers ex-
clusively-can throw any additional hight upon the
ements in Hoods army, or elsewhere in Tennessee
The Yankee accounts from that section are certainly
unfavorable to Luckily they absolutely contra
dctoy, as in the instance OF Forrest who is killed on
the 18th, and leads our guard on the leth Still
must bear in mind, that the worst hes too often
proved to be the nest reliable news from all portions
Of the West and Southwest and that our own account:

such was not the case but unfortunately we fear tina
Il Is the case. We mus only wait for Developments
