The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1866-09-22

~ The Evening Post, with great
good sense and prescience in remarka-
BILE contrast with many of the ultra
papers that are opposing any settlement
of our National difficulties, says:
I'VE think it advisable and necessa-
ry to return to constitutional forms and
restrictions in every department, not
because we desire TO please men lately
in rebellion, but because we wish for
the peace, quiet, and prosperity of the
country because We think it highly
dangerous to continue the country any
longer in the revolutionary condition
in which Congress has persisted in
leaving it; because We think it abso-
luetely necessary for the security of
our national liberties, for the security
of all rights, fer the proper restriction
of all authorities, and for the attain
ment of wholesome Legislation, to re-
turn to constitutional government. 1t
is for our own sakes, for the benefit of
the loyal people, that we advocate this
policy"

IL Judging from the following par
agraps taken from letter from Alaba-
ma, the present is not good year for
little niggers. They do not seem to
thrive as we'll under a protesting Bew
roar as they did under the cruel over
seer's lash /:
g Our funerals, of which we have
had several, have generally been those
of small children. It is not a good
year for children. They come into the
world, look around, don't seem to like
the new order Of things, and die.
They were once valuable, now they
find themselves woithless-are DISCUS
ted, and return to mother earth"

w One of the greatest evils which
has afflicted the country, is that of po-
litical preaching. There is perhaps
no cause to which can be so justly at
tributed the growth of fanaticism and
its development in the many inhuman
and atrocious acts which marked the
progress of the late war. Certainly
nothing exerted a greater influence in
bringing the country to a condition
which the sword alone could remedy,
and the same cause now operates more
than any other to keep the evil pas
sions awakened by the contest.
Upon this subject, the letter of the
Hon. Jeremiah Black, to Rev. DIR. Ne
win, presents an unanswerable and ex-
haustive argument. We cannot pub
lish the entire letter on account of its
length; but the following extract of it
will give some idea of its import
Political preachers have not behaved
any better since the revolution than
before. About the commencement of
the present century they were busy in
their vile vocation all over New Eng
land, and continued it for many years.
The wilful and deliberate SANDERS ha-
bitually uttered from the pulpit against
Jefferson, Madison, and the friends
who supported them, were disgrace
to human nature. The immediate eff
feet of this was the Yankee plot to
secede from the Union, followed by
corrupt combinations with foreign
eneray to betray the liberties of the
country. Its remoter consequences
are seen in the shameless rapacity and
bitter malignity which even at this
moment are bowling for the property
and blood of an unarmed and defence.

I Just think, says contemporary,
what would be our future if every coun-
try in this and the surrounding States
had cotton factory infull blast! We
should no longer send cotton abroad to
be manufactured. Every planter would
feel that he would have a home market
for every bale he could raise, and he
would raise just enough to make it
the surplus crop. We learn that there
are farmers in Mississippi who have
not planted an acre of corn this year.
They have planted their entire lands
in cotton, and look to the Northwest or
providence for corn and meat. This is
wisdom with Vengeance. Surely we
need not say it is madness. 1t will
ruin any individual or community.
Our true policy-the true policy of the
South-is to raise all the food we need.
This should be the first consideration.
Then raise enough cotton for our own
looms and spindles. What will be
the result Just what has been said
a thousand times by THOUSAND men,
A million bales will bring as much
money this year as five millions ever
brought US before the war. For some
years we will have to sell much of this
cotton to any buyers, home or foreign;
but if we will give our attention to this
thing of manufacturing at home, it
will grow month by month and year by
year. We could manufacture more
cheaply than the Yankees, because we
would have no carriage to pay; for
the same reason we could sell to our
own people on better terms than the
Yankees can. At every cotton factory
will spring up demand for food of all
kinds and the small farmers will find
a demand for his veal mutton, chick
ems, butter and eggs, which never be-
fore existed. Can any one doubt
where is the path of dutyl tits only
the plain path or interest. 1t is the
road to independence that true indie
pendence which will lift us beyond the
reach of Yankees and Radical contain
ination.

I A company of four rebs, who
have been liveing in cave in the
mountains of Virginia, waiting for the
Confederacy to Ego up" marched
into Petersburg recently, stacked arms
in front of headquarters, sent in word
that they were the remnant of the Army
of Northern Virginia, and that they
wished to surrender on the conditions
accorded to the main body. Col.
Milton assented, and gave them trans
portation to their homes. Citizens
gave them new clothes, got them about
half drunk and they embarked.

SECRET SERVICE DURING THE WAR

SECRET SERVICE DURING THE WAR
The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner
coolly observes
'.Our old soldier readers cannot but
be amused in reading the wonderful
stories that are now circulating with
regard to Gen. Grants secret informa-
ton of Confederate movements, coun-
ellis, etc., while besieging Richmond;
for they well remember that the jour
neyings of our spies and secret service
officials between Richmond and Wash
ington were as regular as though the
halter was not the price of failure or
detection.
mot a day passed-we came near
saying not an hour-without reliable
information from the Federal headquar-
ters and the Federal war Office being
furnished Gen. Lee, and SO rapid was
the transmission of dispatches thai
regular lines of couriers must have
been employed to bear them. The
commander of the Union armies, de.
spite the wonderful tales that are TOLD
at this late day, must have been miser.
ably posted, or the greatest bunglel
that the world ever saw. The prolon.
cation of the struggle, until we were
literally worn out, evidences the quail
ity of information that governed ouI
generals, and told them what DISPOSE
ton to make of their feeble armies Il
resist the human avalanche to be hurled
against them; andthe fact of the CRANE
attack Of the enemy almost Away
being directed at the point where W,
were best prepared for it, certaial,
proves that Grant and his subordinate
were very poorly posted. or very drunl
indeed"

~ A letter received in Charleston,
South Carolina, from Mrs. JEFF Davis
says: Mr.. Davis is slowly but surely
wasting away, and | look forward to
his Makers release if man does not
soon afford him one.
Look to it, Andrew johnson, that his
death does not lie at your door For
sixteen months he has been prisoner.
For twelve of them there has not boen
an hour when it was not safe and just
to admit him to bail or release him on
parole. Aud every hours imprison-
ment endured by him is needless, wan
ton cruel.

II The District Court in and for
this parish. convened on last Monday,
and has continued in active session up
to the present time, and will, in all
probability, remain in session the en-
tire portion of next week. During the
past several days, that august body,
the Grand Jury, has been hard at work
ON the track of all evil doors, and we
may expect, as the result of their ar
duous labors, the ferreting out and
Furnishing of the violators of law and

lance of its members, in the discharge
of this, their sacred duty to their
coautry.
