Railroads.

Northwest Louisiana at this
time, is that Of Railroads; and
well it may, for with a climate
without either Of the extremes
Of heat and cold, and a soil
that rewards the laborer to a
greater degree than that Of
most other localities, North or
South, with thousands of acres
of untitled lands, ready to
bloom and blossom under the
magic touch of skilled labor,
and when railroads open up.

Andrew Johnson.
The Mobile Register has this
to say on the death Of Andrew
johnson: "Ahdrew johnson,
ex-President Of the United
States, died yesterday in Ten>
nessee. In announcing his
death. we bear testimony to
the manly devotion which he
exhibited during his Presidens
tial term to the rights Of the
States under the Constitution.
The State papers issued from
the Executive Office which he
was President will live in the
history Of the country, and will
stamp him as q brave and sa-
gacious defender Of the rights
of the States within the Union.
The life Of Andrew johnson is
instructive. By the force Of
natural abilities, without the
aid of education, he passed
through all the grades Of polit-
Iical life in America, from the
lowest to the highest. Begin

nesatain Meadow Massacre.

In the trial Of John Doyle
Lee for participating in the
Mountain Meadow UTAH mas
sacre, the evidence given by
Philip Smith, a Norman, in
whose case q mole prosequi'
has been entered, is ola dread
full nature. It was resolved at
a Sunday Council to attack
and destroy the emigrants,
who numbered "more than q
hundred persons, old and mid
dle-aged men women, and chill
dren." Lee conducted the at
tack, but after fighting for
three days he had to send for
reinforcements. The descrip-
ton Of the butchery of the en-
igrants after they had surren-
dered to their treacherous foes
is sickening. The wounded,
the women and the children
we're shot down in cold blood,
and those who were not killed
outright were afterwards bar
! barously slaughtered by the
Mormons. None of the emf
grants escaped. Indians were
allies of the Mormons in the
hideous deed. Women appeal
ing for mercy were horribly
treated and their throats were
then cut. Ii is said that the
excitement in the court was
most intense. No wonder
Lees face, during the time
Smith was testifying, turned
livid. Whether the law vii
be able to bring the miscreantl
to q just doom, when the fact
are all known, the Mormon
will have reason to fear th.
wrath Of the people. Tim
has not deadened the feeling
Of dire indignation at the fou
deed.

Death Of General Pickett

We take the following ar
ticle from the columns Of the
Shreveport Southwestern ele-
gram:
"Gen. George E. Pickett,
who died q few days ago in
Norfolk, Virginia, was one OF
the most gallant officers in the
nfederate army. In reality
he was the Mnrat of Lees
army, and was assigned posi-
tons in the line of battle where
the hardest fighting was ex-
pected. Pickett's Division
was composed entirely Of Vir-
ginians, and figured promi-
nently IN every battle fought
by the army Of Northern Vir-
ginia. The charge of this di-
vision at Gettysburg is consid-
cred one Of the most gallant
and daring ever recorded in
the histories of wars. General
Lee in q conversation with
one Of his generals, referring
to Pickett's Division, said: 4
believe they will carry any.
thing they are put against.
Since the war General Pickett
has been living . quiet ani
retired life, and leaves behind
him a record as brilliant a.
any man who drew his SWORD
lin defence of the Lost Cause.
MAY he rest in peace.
