Dear Sir: You have been anthor-
lied to announce the name Of Col.
Ross f. Burke of Natchitoches, -
a candidate for the Office of Treasu-
rer of the State, at the next election.
Party bias happily does not now
rule the choice of the people; but eva
ry citizen seeks SO to cast his vote
and influence as to secure that officer
who may combine to the greatest de-
gree, assiduity. integrity and intel
Iectual excellence. Connected with
this object, there is natural, proper
and almost universal purpose to pre-
fer to all public positions, those who
have performed good service in the
field.
No better selection can be made
than Of Col. Burke. .t -
At the commencement of the war.
he went as Lieutenant in Capt. VIM.
NJ. Levy's company, from Match.
toches, La, the Cd La. Reg't Of In
fantry Was elected Captain upon
the reorganization; was re-tlectsd
Captain; did gallant service in Vir-
gina; was badly wounded At Gettys-
burs-probably for life; is now Col.
"a La. Infantry. But in consequences
Of his wounds, is recommended BY
medical board for retirement, to give
place to Junior officers for promotion.
Surely, so noble a soldier deserves
the appreciation aid reward Of the
people. s.r. .aatfsJ reev
before the war his business WAS
commercial. and he brought to It's
pursuit untiring energy, irreprcaci'a-
bic integrity and rare intelligence
He is thoroughly qualified, aud -
courteous, genial gentleman; a gal
liant soldier-devoted mind and BODY
to our cause-and we hope he viii
be elected next Treasurer Of the
State. Stew tsst saEa siti 81 y.
