"Tur CALLED JADE WILL WfycE.'-
Under this caption, our neigh5or OF the
"Guoyd" attempts reply to our comments
on his Harris letter. "Lct the CALLED jade
VINCE" was The language of Shakespeare
Our neighbor, in quoting from the great
bare, is as unfortuaate as he was in quoting
and commenting on the letter Of Ills friend
Harris. We have no desire to press our
neishbor too closely against the wall, but
certainly think he should be able to sec, by
this time, that he has seized the hot end Of
the poker, and the less he handles it, the
better. We did not acknowledge that we
misrcpgesentcd Mr.. Harris ; but said, if he
was really misreprcsented, it was because
both he and his friend expressed themselves
in words which conveyed sentiments direct.
ly the reverse of what they intcnded. For
instance, Cur neighbor attempted to excuse
Mr.. Harris by saying he first voted against
secession in Virginia, but when the majority
overrued him, lie not only was in its favor,
but went into the rebel ranks aud fought to
destroy this Union, and this our neighbor
endorses by saying that it was doing "wkat
all true men did" In short, our ne;ghbog
contends that Mr.. Harris was right in at
tempting to destroy this Union because the
majority OF his State decided to do so. If
that is correct then jeff Davis was no trail
tor treason impossible, aud the Constitu,
tion not worth the paper on which it Is
written. His friend had not even the shal.
low excuse of fighting in favor Of what he
enormously supposed to be right, but against
his own convictions of right. Our neishbor,
however, has a novel way Of crawling out of
dilemma. He states facts and makes ar
gumen,s for his opponents 70 suit himself,
and then tries to knock them down, but
even then fails, as the following will show !:
"FindinG that the Radicals of the North,
"pcrsstenty voted with the rampant scces-
''sionsts of South Carolina in the Peace
Congress of 1861, aud that nothing but
"blood would satisfy them, lie accepted the
position ant; as true man, fought for
what he believed to be his rights
This piece of history will, no doubt, sur
lIieo hahy Ah'Sh'SNh' iS"'.io wa" NV" hS"'
these astounding facts for the first time. But
as our ncighbor contends that Southern
Democrats, who fought in the rebel ranks
against the Union are better Union men
than the Republicans who fought for the
Union, we Can readily excuse him fo: this
and other similar arguments.
Is it not surprising that our neighbor will
never forgive Longstrcct and other rebel
leaders, who Lave acknowledged their errors,
but is willing to hug to lis bosom unrc.
pentant rebels, who, even now, persist that
they were right in fighting for the lost
cause. But we have neither time or space to
waste in contendins against principles and
opinions so utterly indefensibIc.

THE TENNESSEE RIVER
Congress is to be memorialized
for the improvement of the
Tennessee river. This river is
the sixth in magnitude among
the rivers of the North Ameri-
can Continent, and it flows
through five great States of the
Union. The resources of this
productive region, embraced in
North Alabama, Middle Ten
nesSee East Tennessee and
portions of Georgia, Virginia
and North Carolina, are throt-
tied at Muscle Shoals. There
are along thebank Of this river,
in North Alabama, 100000
acres of Government land, now
a wilderness, which would be
occupied but for this obstrHc-
ton.

Tire town of Dallas, Oregon, is
moving. The ladies of that place
lately got up some tableaux for
the benefit of a church, among
which was one called the "New
order of things" In it the men
were represented as nursing ba-
bies, making bread and talking
one another to death, as the wo-
men used to do, while the women
were chopping wood and doing
other outdoor work. The pic
ture was received with great ap-
plause. The Revolution has pen
etrated that section.

SHREVEPORT, Nov. 6, 1859.

OHhHf EPORI, NOV. %, LODI.
Dear Bonner: You and |
care but little for the empty
noise, "fuss and feathers" of
politics or politicians, but do
care much for the vital and ma
terial interests of our country,
and on this subject I write to
tell you and the good people
OF Bellevue and Bessier parish,
that a corporation has been Or
ganfzed under the law, for the
purpose of opening perfect
navigation from Shreveport to
the Arkansas line by way of
MaclSs bayou, Gross bayou,
Lake Bodceau and Bayou Bod
ceau.
And to learn to you that this
is no bag Of wind-the corpor-
alton was signed on one day
and the next it broke ground
and put the first section of the
work, that is, from Red River
to the bridge on the Minden
road, under contract, and be-
fore this is made known to
your readers that section viii
be completed.
The company has to-day
put the balance of the route to
Bodceau Lake under contract,
to be finished and delivered in
ten days from to-day; and bear
ing foul weather, it is sure to
be done, andin five days from
to-day the Lake will be posted
to Bellevue. .-.-
/ Beginning so late in the sea-
son, We can not hope to open
the route farther than Bellevue
this season. But on the first
rise of the waters your village
:, Will be open to the world-at
last!
We hope the good people OF
the parish viii aid us by throw
ling no barriers or distinctions
in our way, as every one OF
them will be benefited and not
one damaged or injured.
1 We will furnish to them fol-
six months in the year, a speedy
and safe outlet for their cotton,
corn and lumber of all kinds to
Shreveport, where the cash
waits for everything market
able. .....

In another COLUMN will be
found a communication upon
the subject of navigation in our
parish. The company referred
to, have gone to work in ear
nest. Tuesday last they had
reached Gross bayou bridge, on
the Minden road. DR.. Hotch-
kiss, the energetic President,
assures us, sufficient water per-
hitting, he will have % steamer
up as high as Bellevue landing
this winter. The company in
tend rendering navigable the
route from the mouth of Mack's
bayou, on Red River, to the
Arkansas line. A distance of
about 80 miles. It is estimated
this route will add one million
dollars more to the trade OF

various commercial commodi-
ties.

Shreveport, Nov. 10, 1869.


Whatpromised to be brisk week
has turned out to anything else.
Thursday was very brisk. but
Friday and Saturday showed a
different state of affairs. Yester-
day and the day before were pref
ty much on the order Friday and
Saturday, a little better if any
thing. The wholesale dealers
were the worst effected, though
the wagons trade felt the effects
to a certain extent. This stagna-
ton in trade is probably in a.
measure owing to the decline in
the price Of cotton, and the exOr-
bitant rates of freights. The re-
ceipts of cotton for the past week
reached 1874 bales. The market
on Wednesday and Thursday, for
low middling, was steady at 224
to 225c. in currency, and II to
17ac in specie. On Friday it took
a plunge and closed at q to 214c,
nominally, in currency, and II to
III in specie. On Saturday and
Monday it sold for q to 214c in
currency, and 16 to 164c in specie.
Yesterday the receipts reached
7S8 bales, the largest days re-
ceipts of the season, but NEST of
it went to the warehouses, for the
account of the planter. There
were more wagons in town than
ON any day before this season,
bnt many of them went home light
or nearly SO. The Gotten market
was heavy all day, and only
enough changed hands to load
the Flirt, which took it at 81 per
bale freight. We quote for low
middling In currency 20a to Clio
and in specie is to 1910 with a
tendency to inside figures.
