THE SHREVEPORT SUFFERERS.

Tuesday morning last, when In our dis
patches from Louisiana we laid before our
readers the details Of the terrible suffering In
Shreveport from that awful scourge, the
yellow fever, we made an appeal for aid to
the people ot Washington In behalf Of the
the nrst response TO our appeal, which will
he found below. Several Of the large cities
Of tho Union have already moved In tho mat
tor, notably Philadelphia, where between
three and four thousand dollars have already
been subscribed. Tho capital Of the Union
cannot afford TO bc behind her sisters In this
ington have always responded nobly 10 every
charitable appeal that has been made to
them. We feel that thoy will not be back
ward In the present distressing emergency,
and that they will provo truo to thoir record.
As will be seen by the following letter, sew
orh gentlemen we'll known In this COM
munity will to-day make a direct appeal to
our leading citizens for tho assistance Of the
unfortunate Inhabitants Of Shreveport. 1t is
10 be hoped that the answer will be prompt
and liberal;

The GOOD PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA
arc Just now disturbed by discussion rela-
tive to the Mccklenburg Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. Old records have been unearthed
and long-forgotton data brought to light
again. The result plainly shows that whether
or not North Carolina eau claim the honor of
the Mecklenburg Declaration Of the Goth Of
May, l775, or the resolutions OF the 3ist Of
May of the same year, concerning which the
discussion originated, 1t Is nevertheless true
that the State is still entitled to the distinc-
tlon of being the first 10 take Official action
In favor of the National Declaration Of Inde-
pcndcucc. Referring TO this subject cor
respondent of tho Raleigh Ne,os shows In
dsputably that North Carolina, on the l2ti
day Of April, l716, empowered her dele
gates In Congress to concur with the dele
gates of other Colonies In declaring indie
pcndencc and forming foreign alliances.
This was In advance OF the action Of any
other State, and Is claimed by the people OF
North Carolina as fact which entities them
10 distinction us among the most progressive,
us well as the earliest, lovers OF freedom In
the country. We agree to the justice of this
claim, and refer 10 1t now for the purpose of
expressing hope that the discussion will re-
yivo little of that spirit of progress and
love Of freedom.

THE FUTURE POLICY Of tho Republican
party in West Virginia Is Just now the subject
Of discussion by the Republican papers OF
the State. The particular question at issue
is a proposition that the organization 'shall
be hospitable to the dissatisfied elements OF
the dominant party, and invite their CO.
operation for the accomplishment Of common
objects" There Is split in the ranks OF the
Democracy which Is so well defined that there
Is every possibility Of third ticket. II 10

In their own way without the aid Of the

measure. Outside Of Congress Democrats
and Republicans have very generally been
agreed In denouncing the back k-pay feature OF

There l., hence, no justice In treating 1t as a
Republican measure, or holding the Republi-

MUDDY VALLEY. We yesterday had an
interview with Hamilton McKane, one of
our pioneers, who has just returned from
a trip down to the Muddy Valley, about
l25 miles south of Phoebe, whittier he
had gone in quest of farming location.
He gives glowing account of the adap-
liability to cultivation of the country
down there. When he left the Muddy
Valley, less than a week ago, the new
grass was from six to eight inches high,
wheat and barley were up from three to
four inches, and preparations were Icing
made to set out vegetables. There are
about thirty farms located and under
cultivation, hut thousands of acres, Mr.
Mckane says, are vacant and subject to
homestead and presumption entry. The
tracts now claimed extend along down
the valley for distance of fifty miles.
The Muddy is bold, clear stream, water
from eight to ten feet deep, and the en-
tire valley can be easily and inexpensive
ly irrigated. There is an abundance of
small timber for fuel on the banks of the
creek; but timber for building and fenc-
ing purposes can only be procured by
gong oack 70 the mountains from twenty
tbs hes, nneninos on the nontinsnt for
those DESTROYS of taking up and improv-
ing Government lands. The Muddy Val
ley is the only pass for railroad from
here to the Colorado river, and is on the
direct route to the valuable coal. iron
and salt deposits in the extreme south
eastern part of the State. Two crops of
grain year can be and have been raised.
The climate is Italian in character. and
all the semi-tropical fruits can be album
dainty produced. 1t cannot be possible
that these magnificent lands will be un-
claimed much longer. Mr.. Mex, thinks
the mountains north and south of the
Muddy Valley-iudginp from indications,
and he is an old, experienced miner-are
rich in mineral wealth, and he commends
them to those in search of new field for
prospecting enterprise.

Social CHAT No. 2.

Boys, you will remember that in our
first entertainment | hinted as to how
you might acquire industrial habits in
youth by beginning to make yourselves
as the saying is, generally useful at
home, and in improving your leisure
hours in lite.Iary exercises of the brain.
This undoubtedly is the golden, though
somewhat thorny, pathway to emf
nence and distinction among our fel-
lows.
Fresh upon our minds is the record
of our late civil war, when, like a death
bearing simeon, the storm of disSensiOn
and strife swept over our land. and
threatened, in its wild rage, to scatter
to the winds TIE broken fragments OF
the Diamond Chain, whose powerful
links are the Empire States that form
our grea' and glorious Union. No
doubt grateful country through every
succeeding generation will eve" fondly
cherish the memory of him who safely
led the Ship Of State over the angry
pillows of excited passion. Nor did
Abraham Lincoln serve tie cause of
Freedom less because in his younger
days he split the rails that were to make
the enclosure of his fathers claim.
But nowadays thugs have ann ar
emily changed, and In the training OF
our youth to maahoNd they must have
their juvenile saloons; their baby bill
liarl cues, and their s,ll cocktails.
Thus is formed class of youths. not to
be ignored as to numbers. who might
appropriately be styled loafer appren-
tices. What kind of men are such like
ly to make?
This question reminds me of what a
friend said the other day while convers-
ing on this subject: Said he "Way
back in Merry Old England, in the
city Of Manchester lived a wealthy
