President, we would have sworn that they had
consulted some second hand twopeuny copy,
which they had cheapened at a book stall in
Chatham street or down at Peck slip; and we
learn from good authority that this is the fact.
Now mark the contrast. We are particularly
strong on the great African drsmatist. AS we sit
in our sunptuous classical library, 10 the most
luxurious Of easy chairs, our feet slightly ele-
waited, the smoke Of our fragrant Havana curl
ing gracefully up TO the lofty ceiling, and the
table before us grooming under the literary
treasures Of the Augustsn era, our eye rests on
o shelf-one Of the most capacious in our mag
nilcent ookcases-appropriated to and en-
tirely filed with our editions OF Terence. We
have q Lemsire, a Valpy, and Bipont, Of
course. No man with any pre.ension to
scholarship would be without either of them.
But these are very Insignificant portion Of
the great whole OF our editions Of this author.
We cannot stop to count them; but here are
some OF the most valuable

from Mobile in this hattering strain :
The Qualifications around this city
are very strong, aud well provided
with tomhproofs.
Notwi hstanding the many orde 8
ssued from this department for womt n
children and non-combatants to leave,
the city Is crowded with them. n. t
a house is to BE- had here, and sul =
plies and merchandise of all kinds
are higher than in any other city in
the Confederacy.

write it sorrowfully, is one vast bed
of corfuption-akin to Gomorrah of

The Concert.

The grand instrumental and voca!
concert, on Saturday evening, by the
Shreveport "G!ee Club for the ben
cit of the Missouri troops, was de
cided success. The large hall was
filled to overlooking with Il select au-
dience, and the attention manifested
throughout the entire performance
was the best evidence that every
body was we'll pleased.
The liberal and generous patron
age of the public has thus succeeded
in alleviating to some extent the s"t-
ferings of the gallant band Of troops
for whom the entertainment was got
up.
At the close Of the performance
Capt. VIM. A. Seay..of Rapides, for
merly of Gen. Prices Staff, returned
thanks in behalf of the MissourianS
and was followed by Governor Allel
in a few well-timed and appropriate
remarks.
