The Shreveport Times speaking Of
our duties in the face of the late COM

The Shreveport Times speaking OF
our duties in the face of the late COM
promise, says:
In all this miserable business, how
ever, there il nothing to be alarmed
at. The rumor sent through the dis
patches that compromises similar to
the one made in Terrebonne were to
be adopted all over the State, had no
authority, and doubtlessly grew out
of the fears Of q class Of men who are
always seeking to shirk an issue and
always have to be, in contests like
this, forced into line. There will he
no compromise in North Louisiana.
The battle line we formed at the be-
ginning of the campaign remains intact,
and there is no faltering. Our ban
ners are spread upon every hill and
cover the heaven like great white
cloud. Yesterday we gave to the
dead; to-day belongs to the living
and its issues;
"This is not an hour for knells and tears,
But for helmets bfaced and serried SPEARS
Louisiana call upon every white
man upon her soil to do his duty, and
that duty is now to bend all his ener
giek to establish within her borders the
supremacy of the white race; the su-
premacy of civilization, of law and
justice and he who falters in the
struggle is a craven unfit to play his
part among men. At the battle Of
inkerman shell from the Russian
batteries tore from the hands of a
British corporal the flag of bis regi-
meEt, and at the same moment a
grape.shot broke both his hips but
falling, the gallant soldier caught the
bunting with his teeth and expired
with it there. It is not reasonable to
expect every man to be a hero, but
ifa people would preserve their liber
ties, if they would accomplish great
results in times like these F.; if they
would win victory over combinations
in wrong and infamy, they must be
animated by something Of tho uncon.
querable spirit Of the corporal Of In
herman. Let the people then stand
by their cause, determined to main
tain it by every agency in their pow.
er. That the overthrow of the legal
government of the State by Federal
power was a great misfortune cannot
lie denied, and that it has caused con-
fusion and falteripy in our ranks is
true. Indeed the events of the last
two week have, in a measure, discon-
certed our plans, and time and again
the question has been asked what
shall we do! Let not that question be
asked again. At the battle Of Water.
loo, when the fate Of the day was un.
certain and the English line was
wavering, Wellington rode up to q
cavalry commander and ordered him
to move. (Which wayi" asked the
officer. "Forward by Cd" res
pended the iron Duke, the lightnings
of his soul blazing in his eyes. Peo'
pie of North Louisiana, those Of you
who wish to know what to do or how
to move, the Duke of Wellington has
told you-"Forward.'

our duty is plain. We have organ

strike down the suggestion; if any

treat him a. . public enemy. Once

The FRENCH GOVERNMENT LECTURRD By
PRINCE BIsMARCK.-A Berlin dsp atch of the
2lst ultimo says The leaders and journals OF
the German ultramontane party having recent
ly derived considerable encouragement from
the support OF the French press, Prince Bis
marck few days instructed Count Arnim TO
deliver to the Due DecaZes a message of which
the following is the substance: The French
pre- IS, Count Arnim stated, being under the alb
solute control of the French government, aud
strictly prohibited from extreme language on
matters of domestic import, he could not but
regard their constant attacks on the German
government as licensed by French authorities.
The German government were the more pain
fully surprised at this, seeing that the Papal
and ultramontane politics, SO enthusiastically
supported by the French press in opposition to
Germany, were bitterly hostile to this country.
There could be no doubt that the French press
unanimously sided with the avowed enemies of
Germany, though the French government had
it in their power to modify the language of their
papers at a moments not cs. The German gov
eminent, therefore, while they left the French
government to act as they chose, found il i'm
possible not 70 draw differences from the pro-
voking attitude of the French press.
The Due Decazes submitted this communica-
ton to the French Cabinet, and was authorized
to reply that the French government were de-
termined to fulfill their International obliga-
lions in every respect. II is accordingly hoped
that measures viii be taken 50 far to influence
the language Of the French press as to prevent
its being taken by the German ultrarnontanes
as direct incentive to defy the laws of their
country.
