THE NEE PERCES.

The New York Graphic says: "Who
are these NeZlPerces, whose band OF
rebels, under young Joseph, the govern
ment is fighting? Not savages, as'the
word is usually understood. They are
half civilized Indians, who have been
deceived and defrauded till a revolt has
resulted. They number about 5000
people, 400 Of whom are warriors. They
are brave and intelligent. One or two
hundred can read English, and many
can write. They till 5000 acres Of land
They own 1900 horses, 70 mules, 5000
cattle, 500 head Of hogs. Last year they
raised 30, 900 bushels Of grain and many
vegetables. They have a saw mill, a
grfst MILL Last year they sawed $4,000
feet of lumber for houses. Some OF them
are carpenters, masons, blacksmiths,
tinsmiths and other useful occupations.
And now they have broken out in rebel
lion because the government has cheated
them, has lied to them. has diverted
their annuities, has stolen their goods.
There is but one solution of this ques-
ton: These people must be given 100
acres Of land each and subjected to law.
Then let every agent be dismissed and
compelled to work for living instead Of
stealing"
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-07-28
sTONEWALL JACKsON's APPRECIA-
TION OF MUSIC.

Akin to Jackson's dyspepsia, and per-
haps as consequence, was his ignor-
ance OF music. One morning, at Ash
land, he startled young lady from her
propriety by gravely asking her il she
had ever heard new piece of music
called "Dixie," and as gravely listening
to her while she sang it. He had heard
1t thousand times from the army
bands, and yet it seemed new to him.
who could be more eft for treasons,
stratagems, and spoils ?" And yet there,
was one kind of music which always in
terested and delighted him. 1t was the
"rebel yell" of his troops. To this
grand chorus he never failed to respond.
The difference between the regular
"hurrah" of the Federal army and the
irregular, wild yell Of the Confederates
was as marked as the difference in their
uniforms. The rebel yell was q pecu-
liar mixture of sounds, kind of weird
shout. jackson was greeted with it
whenever he made his appearance to
the troops, on the march or in battle;
and just as invariably he would seize
his old gray cap from his head in
and his Little Sor-
1el," knowing his habit, would break
into q gallop and never halt until the
shout had ceased. I remember one
night, at tattoo, this cry broke forth in
the camp of the Stonewall Brigade, and
was taken up by brigades and divisions,
until it rolled over fold and wood
throughout the whole corps. The Gen.
eral came hastily and bareheaded from
his tent, and going up to fence near
by, he leaned upon it and listened in
quiet to the rise. climax and conclusion
OF that serenade, raising his head to
catch the last sound, as it grew fainter,
and until it died away like an echo
toward his tent he muttered, in half
soliloquy, "That was the sweetest mu-
sic ever heard"

but that IL the demand came there would be
fleets here Of an early date.
Mr.. Bilas Weeks stated that the steam accom-.
modations were not large at present. but that Il
for New York, via this city, there would be sup
ply Of tonnage to meet it. He thought that the
railroads, in reducing their freighs, had brought
about the
PRESENT CONDITION or THINGS,
and that New Orleans ought to be considerably
benefited by il through an increased trade. ;, III
heavy shipments are made from 81. Louis inc
Mallory line could be summoned at once Win
ample capacity for Whatever might come.
MIR. John A. Stevenson, agent for the Missls-
sippi Valley Transportation Company, WAS next
visited. He said that he could not believe thst
trade route for the reason that just at this season
the lines feeding the 81. Louis mills with grain
are not running and therefore the flour supply
will not be increased to any very great extent.
In order that the
NEW TRADE ROUTE
might work great benefit to New orleans, the
mills would have to have the grain to grind. As
to the tonnage to carry the grain coastwise, Mr..
Stevenson did not think that there was much in
port, but II the grain came the tonnage would be
here TO meet it. He felt satisfied that the large
Eastern cities would have
70 DO SOMETHING
for the supply OF breadstuffs il the strike keeps
up, and as rail communication is in errupted, 1t
is more than probable the river route and by sea
will be chosen.
Interviews with several other merchants deve-
oped the fact that there will probably be a very
heavy increase in the trade by river via New Or
leaos, and that the result Of the present railroad
troubles would be to develop the channel through
this city by way OF the river. The persistent Ell.
forts Of the railroads running to the seabosrd to
,ut down rates will build up the Illinois Central
and other lines running on parallels OF longitude
and New Orleans will become q much larger
port OF shipment than it has been for many
years,
