TmE RIUma8ND CALAMITY.
The terrible sorrow stroke that
has beiallen 3 Southern sister city,
sealed up for the time, the foun-
tain of words. The grief and hOr
ror caused thereby, has yet hardly
ceased sufficiently to permit our
writing upon the subject. This
sudden and fatal event should
teach US & lesson never 10 be for
gotten: that in life, we are, in
deed, in the midst of death. Who
of all that large and distinguished
assembly entertained the faintest
dream that death was 80 nearI
But score after score, among
them the pride of the land, little
thinking SO fell a destroyer was
near, even in the moment offancied
security, standing upon the brink
ofthe grave, and in the next mo.
ment many of them we're dying
and dead, while others only escap-
ed as by q miracle.
God pity and comfort the
homes and hearts made mournful
by this sad blow.
But in this connection there Is
something which throws a silvery
lining about the clouds of sorrow
1t is the almost universal ex.
preston Of coincidence and sor
row, all the heartfelt offerings o.
substantial aid for the afflicted
sufferers and mourners.
Such actions make one feel thai
there is glory in humanity aftel
all. A glory of unselishness anC
heart sympathy akin to the an
gelic.
Itgives usa new hope and fresh
courage and a larger trust in hu
man natures. 1t raises the stan
dard Of goodness. While Goo
mcrcifully pours the ba,m o.
consolation upon the hearts Of the
afflicted he will not forget to be
merciful to the merciful.

THROUGH TO THE RIVER.

We have recently been placed
under obligations by DR.. c. A.
Foster, member Of the Legislature
from this city, for official docu.
ments. Among the number is Il
bill entitled an "act supplement.
ary to the charter Of the Vicks.
burg and Meridian Railroad"
In treating Of this subject at
this time we will be confined to
the fourth, fifth, and sixth sec.
tions of this bill.
These sections provide for the
construction Of a branch road, or
extension of the road to the bank
of the Mississippi river. That, for
the proper discharge of duty in
the rapid transportation of freight,
this road should connect with the
river, none will deny. But it is
The point at which the river is to
be reached which is the most ma
tegial point of consideration. The
city of Vicksburg, we are fully
convinced, represents vastly more
actual value than the entire rail.
road, with all Of its rolling stock,
machinery, &c. The city has
contributed liberally towards the
construction of the road, and in
It's support since its construction.
The history of the city since the
location of the present depot site
has shown the influence which .

THE MISSISSIPPI LEYEES

The food in the Ohio, and the
high stage Of water in the Missis.
sippi, remind us of a topic now
engaging the attention of the peo-
pie of the lower valley. The pro.
position of the Louisville Conven-
tion last October for uniform
system for the reclamation and
protection of the rich alluvial
lands subject to overflow, appears
to have been taken hold of in good
earnest by the States affected. Al
ready Louisiana has acted, and a
bill to the same effect is before the
Mississippi Legislature. The
Louisiana act charters a joint
stock company, the object Of
which is stated TO be "the recla.
nation from overflow of the allu-
vial lands of the Mississippi Val.
ley" for twenty one years. ItI
taxes in its interest all the lands
protected or reclaimed, and all the
cotton and sugar and molassses
grown thereon specified annual
toll. The company engages to
protect the planter from over.
flow, and Is made liable for
damages in the event Of neg.
lect. The revenues of the com.
pany are believed to be ample to
insure an early beginning Of the
great work of protecting this mag
nifcent region from the ravages
ofthe Mississippi. Some idea of the
resources Of this wonderful district
may be had by reference to the
census tables Of 1860. From these |
we learn that in 1859, the product |
Of Louisiana was 100000, 900 |
pounds of sugar, and 35,O00,O0O
gallons of mollasses, while her
cotton crop was $4,000 bales.
This, at present prices, would rep.
resent over 100000, 600 in specie.
What gold mines in the universe
present such a field for the re-
wards of human labor.
Strange to relate, the most Of
this prolific soil lies now where it
has laid for the past five years, at
the mercy Of the Mississippi, and
is inhabited by the toad, the frog
and the alligator.
Meanwhile Congress is busy
'quandering the treasures and
domain of the Government on
bogus railroad companies, and in
putting additional chains on the
Western farmer in the interest Of
New England manufacturers and
nonopolists, and still all the
ime is prating abou: the resump.
ion Of specie payments and pay I
~ the bonded debit in coin.

BAZAINE'S SACRIFICE.

The surrender of the town Of Metz,
with all its war material by Marshal b.
zaine, did not surprise the public half so
much as the surrender of Sedan. 1t has
been anticipated that Metz would surren-
der for the last month, and the act of
capitulation has never been anticipated
as the result of necessity. Bazaine has
been credited with means to defend
himself, and with bravery and ability
sufficient to use them. His surrender has
at all times been looked for as the sugges-
ton of political management. He has
been considered the friend Of Napoleon,
and the supporter of the empire. 1t has
at all times been considered that his first
choice was to use his army in favor of re-
storing the fallen Emperor, or his direct
successor. We have never seen a single
paper from under his hands which ac-
cepted or acknowledged the Republic.
And it is well-known fact that the only
intercourse which he has held at all with
the outside world has been held with the
Emperor, by the consent of the Germans.
Marshal Bazaine has placed himself in
an extraordinary position. He will want
strong friends and great opportunity to
save him from obloquy at home. Per-
haps he may die without being under
stood, and perhaps posterity may never
give him the credit which his self
wrought crucifxion deserves. If our con-
illusions are right, Bazaine surrendered in
order to save France from anarchy and
disorder. His judgment refused to con-
tinue useless and desolating war. Lyons
is in the hands of {. mob. Cluseret leads
band of desperadoes who defile the
ministers of religion apd rob the orderly.
Paris itself is only quiet because there has
been no opportunity for riot. The Ger
mans are camped in the fairest provinces.

SHREVEPORT. LouiIiana. October 81
The political contest h this district wakes
hotter and hotter bs the election APP
proaches. The two rival candidates for
Congress, General NJ Celery (Republican)
and Judge Ryan DeI nocrat), are now ira
yelling over the district together, holding
joint discussions. mlflense crowds turn out
to hear them speak. Judge Ryan is vete-
ran politician, with Large experience in pub
lie affairs, an able lawyer and an eloquent
speaker.
General McCleery ia an accomplished
scholar and a brilliant and powerful de-
batter.
They spoke at this place on Thursday
night and at Bellon, lin Bosscr parish. on
Saturday last. At thd latter place they had
long and stubborn contest lasting nearly
all day. The debate ranged over a Wide
extent of ground rea tive to matters both
State and national.
The Judge attacked the State administra-
ton with great forCe The General de
Tended Governor Wa rInoth and his party
with much eloquence and power both par
ties being wrought VI to the highest pitch.
The utmost harmony prevailed.
We are thankful for so much. 1t is
something to the crd dit of the Republi-
can party that fire e speech has been
secured. Two year. ago General Nc
Celery would have been mobbed in
Shreveport, if he had uttered sentiments
in opposition to th ose of his very able
antagonist Michael Ryan. Ten years
ago he or any other ,lan would have been
hanged to the nearest tree for being s,ls-
pected Of any sentiments opposed to the
views of the shareholders.
The Republican party has changed all
this. The friends of liberty and union
can now stand up i'll the presence OF
assembled thousands and contend with
the ablest champion s Of wrong, even to
the highest pitch, while the utmost
harmony" prevails. We sincerely hope
| General McCleery will be successful at
| the election. He is by far the better man
of the two now running in the Fifth
District. But even il he shall be defeated,
We shall have the satisfaction of knowing
that he was permit led to plead his cause
before the people wi thout danger of being
violently dealt with Such are the results
the Republican party has striven for and
