Gen. Shermap's after experience in ma

that the route by Monroe was the proper
one to Shreveport, instead of the long,
hazardous line by the Red River, after
wards adopted by Gen., Banks with such
disastrous results, with the reason still re-
manning q mystery except upon the un-
generous theory of opening the route ta-
ken to enable the government and Admir-
81 Porter to realize from the immense
quantities of cotton which We're ready to
fall as prizes into our hands all along the
Red River seas. Whilst t,ecountry about
Monroe was quite densely inhabited there
was but d sparse population along the
greater portion ofthe line of march. There
were, however, many large Plantations
with great sheds filled with countless bales
ofcotton, marked &C. s. A." not one of
which was destroyed on account of orders
to that effect from Gen. Stevenson.
The countermarch was not so rapid as
the advance, but was well nigh as exhaus-
tive and disagreeable. The only visible
affirmative results Of tie expedition, were
large quantity of forage and an inn
mense drove of cattle taken at Monroe.
The column reached .Ticksburg on its re-
turn on the Sd of September, whereupon
Gen. Stevenson forthwith issued con-
gratulatory order, containing more glow
ing heroics than any ever issued by Grant
or Sherman, or Sheridan, or Thomas, or
Thomas, or all of them together. The

maximum amount Of physical suffering
and endurance that an army is capable of
undergoing. As for. Gen. Stevenson, he
was soon relieved and sent into another
department, for failing, as was freely cir
culated in the army, to destroy the enc
my's cotton, and for marching his com.

them. and in retaliation he has burned tive houses

the slave holder occupying the rich soil, monopo-

]. G. Walker Settled Up.

Mr.. Brett, late Treasurer of State, returned here
on Tuesday last, from New Yoik, where he had
been for some days to make settlement with the
representatives of John c. Walker, late Agent Of
State. We learn that the settlement was made
by Colonel Walkers brother, who accounted for
the means which had been placed in his hands by
turning over Indiana bonds at 80 cents or
he did not say at what price they were purchased,
or who had received the back interest upon them,
or any small matters of that kind; but the State
authorities were so anxious to settle with him up
on almost any terms, that they were nottenacious
about trihes. No person who is acquainted with
the history of Colonel Walker for the past two
years, expected that he would account for the mon
ey placed in his hands by the State. We make
this statement in justice to him, and thank God
that it IL no worse. His bondemen have reason 10
especially thankful.--Ind. jour, March 6h.

aboshing of slavery. Letters are continually re-
ccivcd from parties in the Eastern and Central
States making inquiries in regard to the prices and

with the opening of spring there will be very
large accession tothc population OF the State from
the Industrious cnterprising middle classes Of New
England Thus will the State reap the fruits Of a
wise and just policy in which the claims of hu-
manity and freedom have been vindicated liz the
cvcs of the world.
