The Gallant LOui>i mi n NV
What the Soldiers Of the
state have Done for the Con-
federaCy.

Among the States whose sous
have uncomplainingly followed the
Confederate banners into many a
sanxuinr c"utic,. far away from
their nativ. soil, none stands out to-
day more con,picu"u>lv upon this
pictur. of the carnival of DEATH"
than bleeding Louisiana. The valor
of her sons has been II" more illus
trat,.d in the ranks of the army Of
Northern Virginia. than their endu-
rance ha. gained the admiration and
love of their fcilow-soldi.rs in tho
iI1-s,arred army Of the West.
Pre- eminen,ly among the most
dashing of our soldiers. the Louis
lana chassicurs-a pied. Zouaves and
front rank upon every battlefield.
while the Washington artillery has
now a name envied by every bat
talon in the service. Of fifteen
thousand men belonging TO the COM
lnand of Gen. Lee. now barely six
hundred remain to tell the story OF
their battles. This simple statement
10 IHoic houSh'u6 sA"'A ~uy A"'AS
could possibly be.
These six hundred comprise ten
regiments. divided into two brisades.
They are now commanded by Brig.
Gen. Zebulon York. an officer who
has Tough: his way from captain up
ward. who has seen thirty six ensan-
guiued fields, was thrice severely
wounded, the last time losing an
arm, and who thus. we need hardly
say, has proven himself to be one Of
tn. most gallant from a gallant
State.
We are glad to hear that this Off
Ger has received authority to recruit
his command and that he has the
most fa.tering prospects of increas-
ing his brigade to five thousand be-
fore the Spring campaign opens.
We trust every Louisianian will
rally to that distinguished Louisiana
brigade. Gen. York is on . short
official visit to Columbia. We wish
him welcome and . major-gensrsl's
commission.

A soldier writing to the Gazette.
from Monroe, La, under date of
March Sth, says there has been two
Yankee cotton boats at this place for
the past two or three days. They
have on board many things to entice
the Confedera.es to trade to them
cotton, an article which was once
supposed to be King, but has lost its
majesty though not all of it's power.
These boats have put ashore here a
large quantity of baggins and rope.
They have coffee. whiskey, &c, &c.
And with shame be it said, some of
our Confederate officers, some with
stars on their collars, are constantly
on these boats, imbibing their whis-
key and eating their oysters, and are
extraordinarily intimate with thcs-
Yankees, who have devastated our
country. burned our homes. and
made many of our women and chill
dren widows and orphans, and whom
our gallant soldiers are still fighting
over the blackened ruins of once
happy country"
We are sorry to hear this. and as
tonished to think tina. it is tolerated.
Proper steps should be taken to put
an Immediate stop to such trafficng.
1t broods no good, and encourages
our people to become intimate with
the enemys Of our country. The
course to pursue, in cases of that
character, cannot be too strict-even
unto Selling them. What! are we
to meet the enemy with open hand,
and regalc ourselves with his liquors
and nick-nacs

The Richmond Dispatch thus COM
plimcnts the soldiers Of North Caro-
lima.
In the fall of Fort Fisher the troops
Of the Confederacy have lost Fort,
but no, their honor. North Carolina
in particular has reason to be proud
of the prowess of her sons. This is
not the first, the second, nor even the
tfiieth time, that the soldiers Of this
State have proved the mc,tle where
of they are made. There are no bet
ter soldiers in the Contederacy or in
the world. There is very little gas
or humbug about North Carolina; but
at the pinch of the bill she is always
strong ard true. We have no words
to express our admiration Of the stern
and steadfast heroism she has exhibi-
ted in this war.

1t is astonishing that people never
know when they ars we'll of. We arc
panied to notice an inclination to
find fault with the commander OF this
district, on the part of some. who ap-
pear to be strong friends Of General
Taylor. Fault finding has never yet
accomplished any beneficial results in
any case. Gen. Smith. we believe.
under the circumstances. and with
the means at his command, has done
as much ms any other man could
have been expected to do. On
taking charge of this Department.
composed Of large tract Of territory,
he had, comparatively speaking. no
available troops. As General. his
past career speaks for itself. His
campaign in Kentucky and his con-
duct at Manassas, are recorded, and
future historians will dwell with
pleasure on that part Of their work.
Before any writer now attempts to
assail the General. on his past career
in this Department, he should lay
aside all prejudice. and reflect over
til. probable result of poisoning the
he minds of his readers, with his
views, and causing divided scnti-
ment instead of confidence and unity
of feeling. We feel confident that
the General will We, show his enemies
that they must acknowledge his
ability as military commander. and
this he will a>suredly do. when the
time arrives.
We do not believe that the noted
General Lee, Were he in the same
position. could give entire satisfaction.
One thing is positive, the people OF
this Department who do not belong
to the service, have no grounds of
complaints SO far as We know, and
we venture the assertion, that, were
they subject to the will Of any other
man. they would have had a harder
time Of it. The interest Of the civil
ian, as also that Of the military, ap-
pear to be the Generals study. and
no grievances We're ever laid before
him, but what redress was had.
More than this could not be expected
nor asked. Let us give our hearty
and cordial support to the Command
er, and we assist our cause and aid
him in carrying into effect that for
which he was placed in the response
bic position. DO away with all ill
feelings and have but one mind, and
let that be to do what is right. come
what will. We have lately seen sew
eral articles censuriny the General.
and trust that the last has appeared
When he fails to perform his duty.
it will be ample time to criticize him.
