NdLl uGaI La, :
March &c, 1864.
j. L. BoARDNAN, ESQ. Dear Sir: I
last wrote you from D'Crow's Point,
Texas, and at that time our condition
was not to be envied. We we're then
upon a narrow neck of land, "twixt two
unbounded seas" as it were, and almost
tamished for food and all the other ne
cessary comforts Of life; but soon after,
thanks be to Providence, we were re-
lieved from our destitute condition,
supplies arrived, the winds abatod, the
sea became smooth, and our longing APP
petitos were supplied with army ra-
tons"
On the 21st of February we we're or.
dered to march from our camp on
D'Crow's Point and report to Gen.
Franklin, Commanding 10Th A. G, at
Berwick City, La, where We arrived on
tho 9th inst. After crossing the Bay,
we encamped for a few days, and then
marching orders came to hand again.
We accordingly, on the morning Of
March the 9TH, pulled up stakes" and
commenced long, weary march, which
is rot yet ended. After ten days hard
marching We arrived at this place.
When wo left Berwick we expected to
have to isht our way through to this
point, but the second day out we re-
ceivod information that Brig. Gen. A.
j, Smith had assaulted and taken the
place, consequently we came through
this far without any opposition.
The 48th has re-enlisted as Veteran
Volunteers, and expected ere thistO have
mingled with the furlOughed soldiers Of
the Cum berland, the Potomac and other
places, in our own native Buckeye
State" but alas! we were doomed TO an.
other fate. Gen Banks said we had 10
accompany this Expedition. Since ou,
arrival here we anticipated that our fur.
Tough would be given US at this place
but now we have marchiAg orders and !
presume We will move in the morning
to shreveport, which is said to be /
strong Rebel hold. We intend. how.
ever, to disl0dge them, (the Rebs) from
their resting place, and I think bofor,
this campaign ends Louisiana and Tex.
SIS will be rid of"Rebs," and claim theiI
place In the Union. Our Brigade now
Is composed of the following regiments

Mr.. Everett, who is not oCopper.
head, but u very learned and accurate
Statesman, says;
The States never possessed sovereign
ty except ina local sensc, and if they did,
1t IS certain they ceded it to the Gen.
eral Government in the ad option Of the
Constitution"
Judge Leavitt, in a recent case
quotes decision Of the Supreme Court.
The Court says:
1.-THE Constitution of the United
states was ordained and established not
by the States in their sovereign capaci-
ties, but emphatically, as the prenm bic
OF the Constitution declares. by the peo.
pie Of the United States. There can be
no doubt that it was competent to the
people to invest the General Govern
ment with all the powers, which they
might deem proper and necessary; to
extend or restrain those powers, accor.
ding to their own good pleasure, and to
give them paramount and supreme
authority"
Judge Story gave the decision, Judge
Marshall cOncurring. In another case
Chief Justice Marshall delivered the
opinion of the Court, and decides that
"Tho Government of the Union is a
Government of the people; it emanates
from them, its powers are granted by
them, and are to be exercised on them
and for their benefit"
Judge Story says there is no where
found upon the face of the Constitution
any clause intimating it to be a compact
or in any wise providing for its interpre.
tation as such. On tho contrary the
preamble emphatically speaks of it a,
a solemn ordinance and estabZshuent Of
Government. The language is: awe,
the people Of the United States, do or.
dain and establish this Constitution fol
the United States of America"
Again, he says in his commentaries
on the Constitution:
That which is conclusive is the very
language of the Constitution.
The sixth article says "This Con
stitution and the laws of the United
States which shall be made in pursuance
thereof end all treaties made, or which
snail be made under the authority o
the United States, shall be the suprem
taO Cfhc land" Ifitis the supreme lz,U,
how can the people Of any State, either
by any form of its own constitution OF
laws, or other proceedings, repeal, abro
gate or suspend it?
Now, we presume it is not enough t
set aside solemn opinion, or decision o
the Supreme Court by saying that thi'
Court has been misled by partial quota
tions taken from history, or false repre-
sentation of The facts con neeted there
with" Nor can the opinion of such
juri5ts as Judge Story, Marshall, Sc
be oyerthrown by the shallow and il
logical deductions of "Copperhcad'
sophists from partial quotations." &c
In another number I will adduot
some further evidence from the highes
authorities, bearing on this subject.

Why Hoes EAT ASHES, &c.-Mr.
Mochi, of Tip Tree Hall, England, has
discovered that pigs, when shut up to
fatton, are very fond Of cinders, and i'm
prove in condition by eating certain
portion of them every day. Some pre-
pensity in swine. Poultry are very
fond of egg-shell5, lime, sand, &c, and
it is well know these substances are ne
ccssary in order to form the shells Of
eggs, and to furnish materials for the
bones of fowls.
Now, it is reasonable to suppose that
swine eat ashes and cindars for the pur
pose Of supplying the material for theif
bones; and this instinct in animals so
low in the scale Of intelligence is truly
wonderful for ashes contain the ingre-
dients which are necessary to form
bones, viz carbonate and sulphats Of
lime, and magnosia, clay, silica, gelati
nized and made soluble by the fire.
When hogs are at large they take in
clay and silica with their food, and eat
bones and roots which contain the ne
cossary Ingredients; but when they are
pont up, they endeaVor % supply the
material necessary for keeping up their
frames by devouring ashes aud cinders.
Let them have plenty of Them Nav

"MYsELF OR MY MOTHER. "A very
alentod but tashful young man made
the Acquaintance of a Quaker gentleman
aud his wife. The Quaker had fine
daughter, and also library, the hooks
from which he freely lent to the young
man, who generally came in the even
ing to return them, when he supposed
the daughter would be at home. She
often exchanged the books and had a
friendly chat with him. One evening
he came as usual, and the young lady
met him at the door. She was dressed
to 90 out, and said-"Whom would you
like to see, myself or my mother? 1
was about to call upon friend. If my
mother will answer your purpose, please
to walk into the drawing room; but if
you desire my company, 1 will postpone
my visit till another time" The young
man hesitated and stammersd. die

her engagement, butt she had not been
going out, he would have enjoyed her
society," Very we'll" she rejOinod;
and accordingly took off her bonnet, and

matter. The result was, he soon pro.
