The head Of the cavalry column passed
through Marshall yesterday evening marching toward
the Sabine distant ~ miles, here they WI cross at
Ransdalcs Ferry. Though the scarcity Of forage has
not been severely felt yet citizens predict greater
deerfh as the command Progresses.
From Greenwood village located ut tie terminn. on
that part OF the Shreveport and Nicksburg Railway yet
in running order through to Marshall cotton panta'
tons have been given up 10 the culture OF and the
cereals The 90 not part with their cotton on
hand except negotiated III cash prices-money paid
down.
AS the cavalry command passes through the country
negroes Notwithstanding the order OF tbe post COM
mandant AT Shreveport flock TO IT, stealing horse or
mule; in lieu of these whatever they can lay their
hands on TO take with them. The freedom of the negro
uproos the old established Institutions OF the country,
tears the N asnnder and sudden does this blow come
upon the large that the peope iind themselves
ruined; no hopes Ia NIL the markets with their cotton
tobacco or sugars he turns his own attention 10 labor
but only raise sufficient for his use.
Al least for short term Of years ibe Rcd River Val

cotton TO market. The cotton districts OF Texas. the
Eastern and the Southern ranked in the same cat
cgory. The cGddenness Of freedom TO the negro has
shattered the agricultural strength OF this STATE

Grande.
All these evils arise from the suddenness Of the blow
These calanitous events like the sudden ruin
81 the lightning stroke the instant shock Of the thunder
bolt than like the slow and steady inroads made by
that decay which sooner or later attacks all institutions
Unprepared for this change unforeseen the people
are 0utcssts from their own homes.
The people do not meet strangers with their wonted
hos pitality they in view Of the present
state of affairs, and inclined to believe all srapeers AZ,
enemies they do look upon this freedom TO the necTo
an act OF justice TO them, considering them as
Rebels.
IL is scarcely justice they say. to deprive Us at one
blow of property wherein had vested night 10
give us no opportunity of making the capital We had
invested change It's location without loss We are rid
den Ofsp0wer 10 cultivate our fields We cannot be
represented in the markets. the plow stands idle the
country lie gone to ruin and weeds; country towns
are changed 10 a contraband camp
All things in Texas seem 10 he IN state Of confusion
There neither Legislature the steps
tpken to call COW eoton having been arrested in
order from Gen. Granger.
