FERNANDO AGAIN.

Editors AppedL-It is undoubtedly
fact, and you may receive II as an ak
iomatie saying, that man may do
thousand good deeds and nobody eve
hear tell Of them, at least none of hi
set; but let him indulge In one pecca
dillo and the whole world will rims
with it.
A case In point, and one that has re
Gently come under your own observa
ton, is that of your correspondent
"V. d. c." He, poor fellow, TO my
certain knowledge, has been for the
last eight months trying to ''write up
fernando. He has sent notes, letters,
endorsements of the town and its vi
cinage east and west, north and south.
In all these he dwelt upon the recon-.
mendstory features of the place; its
beauty, salubrity, and eligibility as q
place of residence, present prosperity
and future growth. Not only
so, but the farming country, ly-
ing round about, received its due
need of praise, and the people, for
eleverness, were highly extOlled. As
to the Fenian element, we will not say
the enthusiastic stranger saw through
magnitying glasses, but, at any rate,
he painted the fair creatures he met
in his "prOmenades" as next door 70
angels. Well, sir, all these evidences
Of goodwill and friendly interest
were ignored; nobody about Herman
do read the letters; but few heard of
them. Quite recently, in writing to
the APPEAL, he prefaced his statis-
tipG with sOuno ronoark-a Of q UpnQFQl
character, which merely reflected
some passing impressions. "Garbled
personal appropriations" have been
made, the letter generally read and a
storm of wrath evoked, before which
your helpless correspondent looks
amazed and distressed but undaunted,
in the dissemination OF truth.

SHREVEPORT, La, October 10, 1871
The convention is very largely at
tended by the leading men Of this and
adjacent States. An organization
was effected on the 18th at 8
pm. Committees were appointed
on the several subjects Of railroads,
river navigation, mining, sppro pris-
ton by the government, and OF emil
grafton. There was great harmony of
purpose and the greatest interest man
ifested in the objects of the conven-
ton. 1t is already proposed to have
a second convention at Memphis for
the discussion of the same subjects
and for the shaping and diffusion OF
correct views and modes OF action.
The Memphis delegation was cor
daily welcomed and the opinion gen.
orally observed that Memphis will
constitute the crossing point on the
Mississippi for the airline connection
between Texas and New York.
Shreveport's hospitality is bOundless.
A committee is now reading its report
and discussion will follow. The Men,
phis delegation is requested to desig-
nate one of Its number to address the
convention tonight. This body will
surely indorse the Memphis route
and Memphis crossing of the Missis-
sippi to the east. General Rufin, Of
Memphis, is vice president of the
convention.
IOur telegraphic correspondent
curiOusly enough forgets to tell US who
was chosen president Of the conven-
ton; but the name of the vice Is given,
and that is satisfactory
