NORTH AND SOUTH AMENITIES.

The ex-Confederate soldiers of Memphis
and the ex-Federal soldiers of that city are,
by invitation of the Confederates, to Join in
decorating, without discrimination, the graves
of Confederate and Federal fallen soldiers
This incident, with the reunion proposed of
the soldiers North and South. who fought on
opposite sides, indicates that the tide of good
feeling has fairly set in, and we trust will
sweep away the last vestige of prejudice, until
we become, as we must be, one people. SO
that the glory and honor Of one section will
be the glory and honor Of all
The time is not far distant when it will be
acknowledged that those who fought on the
side of the Confederacy contributed as much
to the national glory as those who fought
against them; and that the rebel survivors and
their descendants, and the descendants of
those who fell, are yet necessary to the gain
and glory of the country.
The war is over, and its asperities should
cease; and we look forward to the day when
an act of Congress shall make the humble
grave yards of the Confederate dead SNational
Cemeteries" equally with those who fell on
the Federal side. Qe.

RECEPTION OF CAPT. EADs.

The gentlemen composing the COMMITTEES
appointed by the Cotton Exchange, the Cham
Der Of Commerce, the Merchants Exchange,
the Ship and Steamship Association and the
Council will assemble this morning at the
St Charles Hotel, at 10 o'clock, to meet Capt.
James B. Eads. They will welcome him in
behalf of the people of New Orleans, and ex-
tend to him the Inequalities of the city, in re-
cogniion of the vast work he has undertaken
and as an evidence that they fully appreciate
the service he proposes to render to the entire
Valley of the Mississippi.
The action of this committee, composed as
it is of our best and most representative
citizens, will be an earnest to Capt Eads
that, while our people were welded to the
canal project OF one time, and while many OF
them still cling to the belief that the canal
would afford the surest and most economical
outlet, they are prepared to meet him in
spirit of perfect confidence and cordially,
and to extend every possible assistance to
him in the carrying out of what is every day
growing to look more and more like a grand
and benefcent achievement.
The object desired by US all is an open
mouth-we want deep water at the mouth of
the Mississippi all the year round, and it
really begins to look as if a resident of one of
the great inland cities was to do for New Or
leans and for the Great West what we had
fondly hoped would be achieved by one of
our own citizens Of one thing we are abso-
lutely certain. Capt Eads is thoroughly in
earnest He means business, and intends to
expend vast sums of money in the attempt to
demonstrate the correctness Of his theories
If he fail, he will fail in an attempt to &C
complish grand object; if he succeed he will
be great national benefactor, and deserve
more from New Orleans and Louisiana than
money can bestow.
Given the success of the jetties, and the
possibilities Of New Orleans are dazzling in
deed-her future success and greatness will
throw even her past glory into the shade, and
she will start forward under an impulse that
will carry her to q point Of commercial pros
perity that will entitle her to rank with the
great cities of the North and West.

SNATCHES ON THE WING.
BY UNCLE YVES.

There is life in the old land yet New Or
leans, with her $50, 900 people, is neither dead
nor dying
The vitality Of the South stands unequaled
to-day on the page Of history.
An article on the recuperative power of the
South from the pen of John MoAat, Commits
sioner of immigration for the State of Ten
nessee, had sixty thousand readers in England
from one publication, besides finding its way
into the pages of the Black,cood Revie,o and
attracting unusual interest towards the
South.
By the way, the New Orleans, St. Louis and
Chicago Railroad would now be under water
for twenty miles along the Lake shore, but
for the indomitable energy of Col Il. S. Nc
Comb, who has, at great outlay, raised the
road-bed from three to thirty-six inches, thus
securing it from all overflow for the future.
The merchants are indebted largely to the
Colonel for not having their business i'm
peded.
The railroad from Natchez to jackson,
Miss, is progressing on solid business basis.
The citizens of Adams county, without aid
from any quarter, have built nine miles of
the road and the cars are running they have
graded twelve and half miles more, and
have secured the ties and paid for the iron );
they have also contracted for twelve or fifteen
miles more Of road-bed, paid cash for every
thing up to the present writing, and have
Sl50,0OO on hand to prosecute the work. If
Adams county can do this without asking for
aid, ought not the merchants and wealth of
New Orleans build that much-needed road to
Shreveport, and do it at once?
Another important fact is cropping out,
that the narrow gauge railroads are all making
money, dull as the times are. The narrow
gauge branch OF the Charleston and Memphis
road, from Middleton to Ripley, Mississippi,
cleared above all expenses 5000 this last
month, and is only twenty-six miles long.
Just suppose that road was run to the sea-
shore at Pascagoula or Mississippi City? It |
would not only pay. but build up city on
The narrow gauge from St Louis to Cairo
is paying handsomely from the very outset, |
and will coin money.
These facts will yet bring the narrow gauge
to the front.
By the way, you have that indomitable |
spirit, Col. Mem, at the desk. He can talk |
French, Spanish, German, not slow on the
Italian, and as to English-the overflow and
gush is tremendous
congratulate you on having such bub-
bling spring of good humor always on hand.
The tread-mill business of daily paper
needs an elastic spirit and sparkling wit to
break the dull routine
On the wing, and will send you more
,natches as we catch them,

SHEEP FOB TExAs.-Ws had occasion, few
days ago, to mention that our esteemed
friend, Col. Alexander Campbell, of Concordia
parish. was bringing from his stock farm in
Brooke county, Western Virginia, collection
of very choice sheep, with the intention of
exhibiting them at the Texas State Fair, at
Houston. These sheep arrived on the Nick
Longworth, and we had the pleasure of in
specting them. There are one. hundred and
five in the flock, all rams, of the famous
Spanish merino, and though comparatively
small, which is characteristic of the breed,
their feeces are extraordinarily heavy, the
average clip being about ten pounds per
sheep. The wool is equal to the best we have
ever seen, being remarkably fine in fibre, rich
in color, glossy and oily. Our stock raising
friends in Texas would do we'll to provide
themselves with this description of sheep.
