I THE DELEGATION FROM CADDo.-The "second com.
mercal city of Louisiana has just passed through
bit of crisis. 1t appears that found its way
up to Shreveport the effect that Governor Warmoh
intended send battalion of coored militia up there
look after the rotously disposed during the coming
election. 1utter of excitement ensued, which nat
urally eliminated in a meeting of the white people
Speeches made highly laudatory of the peaceful
disposition of the Shreveport citizens. But we notice
that reference smade to the possible arrival of a mi
tia company there, though it would be great Ca
| lamty. We confess cannot understand this For
if the people there have grown so peaceabe their
speakers pretend they have and intend remain so
during the next election, they would not be likely to
be molested by the militia The police of New Orleans
not objects of terror or aversion to the well con-
Quoted citizen. On the contrary they are esteemed
as friends, who would protect US in case of need We
do not hold public meetings here and petition for the
disarmament of the police force, in the quietest
of times.
This nervous anxiety the part of the white peo
pie of Shreveport who, assured by the Gazette
the best they have is rather suggestive 1t i'm
plies either that coup detat is really contemplated
which they do not to have forestal!ed or that
they have allowed themselves to be frightened without
cause. If their community is as peaceable and law
abiding the gentlemen of the committee pledged
their honor to Governor Warmoth is the case, thew
not likely to much of the militia. And they
ought to know this. lthey yet retain their reasoning
faculties, they could easily solve the problem without
coming to New Orleans to ask Governor Warmoth about
it. The resolutions, the address to the Governor and
bis reply, will be found in another column The chief
object of the former appears to be to extor promise
from bis Exceency, that no militia shall be sent to
Shreveport at all but in the people up there turn
to be bad, which the committee solemnly assures
him they will, why then call out the militia of
Caddo parish, and let the enrolled citizens punish all
the evil doors they are able to find guilty. As the
Governor has not fully pledged himself the views Of
the committee, but rather significantly reserved to
himself the right to judge of the necessity for acting
opne the delegates have failed in their mission
To up the subectin asentence-f it shall become
necessary to send militia force to any point in the
State preserve ORDER it will most likely be done
unless this necessity arises it will not be DONE So
that the committee, by remaining at home could have
answered their own communication, without submit
ting it to the Governor. N. o. Republican,

WYOMING VALLEY.-A Northern paper mas Tue 10

WYOMING VALLEY-A Northern paper has the iol-

classic by the pen of Campbell: M
In in Wilkesbarre the people believe IN Canpoe!l
" G.rtrude of Wyoming" with the same kind OF laitn
which other people have in Moses and Noah and 'eh
Washinpton-iust as we have in DaVy Crocket ana
Andrew Jackson. Every female child that has been

Gertrude. and if you go to sewing society and yell
ont /" Gerty fifty women will Immediately lay down
their work and rsk over to the door, Ministers never
inonire the name when they are called upon to bap
tie a girl baby They slush on the water and say
." Gertrude" as matter of course. The editors OF
naners published there keep the poem standing on the
raevs and print it regularly every Saturday and on
The 4th of July and Christmas Paragraphs from 1t
are arranged to long metre tunes in the hymn-books
a7pa in the churches and fifty tons OF JeWelry
made out of Gertys hair are sold in the town every
wear! 1t is suicidal to doubt whether such woman
ever existed One man was Drained on the spot last
April because he said be didn't believe any woman
ever had more than one skull, and he had seen six, all
of which we're attributed to Gertrude since he entered
the valley All the oldest inhabitants say they recoi-

to the pig pen every morning singing " Beautiful
Dreamer and any one of them will show you the ideu

CRop IrEMs-The Henderson Times, OF the Zoth'
states that the grass is playing havoc with the
cotton on some farms in that section. Their taVorl'e
mode of operation is to cut off the bols and limbs ana
rbere the stalks are small, to cut them down.
The Jefferson Times, of the 23d, also says the cotton
in that region is being seriously injured by the same
pest.
The Paris Press of the 10TH informs us that that
locality has been visited with great deal OF Faln'
which Injured the cotton to some extent. The pros
poets for good corn crop are very fattering.

All still doing finely. We hear that rain is wanted l"

rIanters that the worm would seriously injure them
has passed away Those who thought themselves most
seriously injured are now convinced that they were
only slightly so.

An effort is being made in New Orleans to break VI
the monopoly of the sale of meats and vegetables, BY
the organization of Peoples Supply Association.
In urherance of this plan the Pcayune of the 24tt
gives "a few facts for the people as follows:
Scalawag cattle are sold at SIS, and the hide and
taow are worth about 81, leaving 500 pounds oil
bones and meat to cost less than &c. per pound Me-
dunn beef costs 44c, first class, &C. per pound.
The cargo of bananas of the Turner sold on Thurs
day at 40c bunch, or one-6fth of cent for each
banana. This fruit is being retailed at &c., 4c and
SC. each, or over 1900 per cent. profit Watermeons
have been sold this week at SIS per hundred and are
retailed at from zoe. to 81.
The citizens of New Orleans are unreasonable. Ac-
cordng to the above they are furnished first class
beef at &c. per pound while the citizens of Shreve-
port, at times pay l29c for forty first class and yet
cattle are shipped from this point to New Orleans.
For bananas that sell there at one fifth of cent
apiece, we pay ten cents 1t is fair to estimate their
original cost at onetenth Of cent and if so we paw
1000 per cent. profit upon the cost of production.
