interests, and exhaust all rightful
means for q redress of grievances.
As the people of Louisiana owe no
allegiance to an authority not Great
ed by themselves, they Should put
the Kellogg government at open
defiance. Allegiance and protec
ton are dependent conditions under
all forms of government, and the
citizen owes nothing where he re-
ceives nothing. When one is with
drawn. every obligation Of duty is
discharged. Resistance to tyrauts
il not only the will of God, bnt the
solemn duty of every man who has
been made to bow the neck to ty-
rants yoke. The President of the
United States having established
misrule aud oppression in Louisi-
ana, has, by that act, forfeited all
claim to obedience on the part Of
her people. No one but fool or a
madman would pretend to assert
that such a people owe anything to
a law whose rights and benefits they
had been deprived Of by executive
decree. Louisiana is now ruled
by a despotism as cold as it is re-
lentless. and her patriotic people
should use all just and honorable
means to thwart the usurpers in
their efforts to destroy her liberties,
and crush out the very life blood oil
her moral, social and political ex'
fstence.

Death Of Colonel Pinson.

The Memphis Appeal f the 18th
conveys the melancholy intelligence
of the demise of Colonel Richard A.
Pinson. gallant confederate officer,
and pays a just and feeling tribute
to his memory. One by one the
noble heroes Of a "lOst cause" are
passing away. leaving behind them
a record of honor and of fame. The
deeds of noble daring which made
the name of the dead soldier famous,
are infinitely set forth by the Appeal,
and will be read with pensive
pleasure by all who are familiar with
the life and services of the hOnored
subject. Col. Pinson was a man to
be loved and admired, not alone for
the stern infiexibility of his official
character, hut also for the soft in
sinuating manners of the polite and
gallant cavalier, and which made
him the delight and joy of the social
circle. But this noble christian
hero and gentleman has fought his
last fghtl He will hear no more
the call of his countrymen. nor the
clash and death song of battle.
His blade leaps not 1t the long. loud cry.
Nor starts and streams with . crimson dye;
He shouts no {" charged nor the brave line

For he lies in the grave Of hia 9iorioos deed..'
