CoTroN.-Those who have tried
the Shreveport market, are we'll salts
fed that they can sell their cotton there
to a better advantage than by shipping
it to other points. The parties can
superintend the weighing and sampling,
and can have the use of their money
without waiting always for it-besides
paying the thousand and one incidental
charges, so literally extended and
hagrantly seen on all account sales.
This talk is no idle gammon-those
who have tried it, know we speak by
the letter. Therefore, the coming sea-
son, place your cotton, and any other
marketable goods, in the hands of
Messrs. Tucker & Thurmond, on the
Levee, at Shreveport, and you will
save more than their commission will
cost you. See their card elsewhere.

gest receiving add forwarding business
of any in our city within the past fif-
teen months, and their sales of groce-
ries and staple plantation supplies has

AN INFAMOUS SENTIMENT.-In q
speech made at Springfield. Illinois,
few days ago, General Logan said
There is but one way to treat with
rebels. Take the torch IN enc hand
and the sword in the other, and march
to the music of the Union. with the
flag unfurled, and sweep over the teErt-
tory. He had no sympathy for the
leading traitors, no commiseration for
them. He could forget no man who
had lost his life, and who had been
MANNED in this war for the Union, and
hecouldforgive no man who had fought
against it. If elected to Congress he
would carry out what he had said. He
could not forgive the South"

at Cleveland, Ohio, Presideat johnson
said:
Now to the Feeedmenss Bureau.
What was it? Four million Of sIaves
were emancipated and giysn an equal
chance and fair start to make their

and, having worked and produced, to
have their own property and apply it
to their own support. Bot the Freed

take charge Of these 1000, 600 slaves.
The Bureau comes along and proposes,
at an expense Of a fraction less than
$I2 .00O, 600 a year, to take charge Of
these slaves. You had already expen-
ded three thousand million dollars to
set them free and give them fair OPP
portunity to take care of themselves !;

great friends to the people. tell us You

WADE HAMPTON REPUDIATEs THE
18th OF AUGUST PLATFoRM.-At a
meeting held recently by the soldiers of
Anderson District, for the purpose of
forming a Soldiers Association, Gen.
Wade Hampton was waited upon by d
committee, and in response delivered
the following speech:
1--WE can expect nothing from the
Government of the United States, what
ever party may be in power. The
Convention at Philadelphia-where the
North and South, burying the past
were to re-establish liberty, equality,
fraternity-has declared the platform
upon which the Conservatives propose
TO enter the next canvass. In the dec
laration of principles which compose
the platform, | see it announced that
the brave soldiers aud sailors who sup
pressed the rebellion are entitled to
the thanks of the nation that the debt
incurred in that holy crusade is to be
sacred, and that all Confederate debts
are null and void. We pensioned the
men who forged our letters but the
soldiers of the South-men with empty
sleeves or on crutches, such as are seen
around me now-are to be branded as
outlaws, rebels and traitors. No fos-
tering hand ola parental government
soothes or cares for their widows and
orphans. The country and the Gov
eminent for which they fought, like
their hopes, are dead, and they are
thrown on the cold charity of the world
"Itis our duty to open our hearts
and hands to our brave and disabled
soldiers, and care for the families Of
those who fell in our defence. What
ever mayrhave been the result of the
cause in which they fell, remember
that they died for US, fighting, as they
honestly believed, to make us free
They offered up their lives willing
sacrifice for their country, and shame
upon the man who would not help thos,
who have lost their all in our behalf
| shall not turn my back upon any
brave soldier who stood by his banne
to the last, though that glorious banne
may be forever furled; though nov
There's not man to wave it.
And there's not soul to save it,
And there's not one left 70 lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave it."

- tits not alone the radical Con-
gress of the United States that is de-
moralized. A Canadian paper accuses
its public men of gross drunkenness,
and says the legislative house on many
occasions, resembles drunken brothel.
- The Democracy used to run the
Federal government for $40, 1000, 900 a
year. The Radicals have run it up to
S56O.OOO,000, or about $50 to every
man, woman and child in the United
States. They have multiplied the ex-
penses eight-fold in FIVE years!
- A geologist has expressed the
opinion that the whole of Southern
Illinois is filed with rich lead veins,
yielding ore in paying quantities at .
depth Of from fifteen to twenty feet
and reaching down to the enormous
depth of from 1900 to 1900 feet.

The Freedmen in Florida.

WASHINGTON, September 26.-General Foster
reports OF Florida tor August that the freedmen
have received better treatment at the hands of
the courts and planters, and consequently the
planting interests of the State are in excellent
condition. The prospects of fine cotton crop
are very promising. The caterpillar has ap-
peared, but the cotton balls are so far matured
that it cannot be much damaged. The corn
crop in the vicinity of Tallahassee and Jackson
county is very poor. In the northern counties
it is only partial yield. In the southern coun-
been for years.
The heat of the summer has caused much
malaria sickness. The cholera has appeared at
Jacksonville, Apalachicola, and Cedar Keys.
The victims are principally negroes caused pro-
baby by their unhealthy habItatlons and mode
of living.
