The Electric Letter.

The editor of this new ENTERPRISE
seems to think our notice o. its advent
last week lis hardly just, and calcu-
lated to leave an erroneous impress
sion" We certainly bad no such
intention, but our sole object MAS to
state our candid opinion of the enter
prise, as a Gisinterested party; and,
as he admits himself the main facts in
the case, we cannot see where we
have done the paper an injustice. 1t
may he serious falt 10 an editor, bat
we generally express oursclf very
cand:dly, and cannot overcome our
natural contempt for fuIsome iiatterv
anu deception; but it is not orr IN
'ehtion TO Go any one an injustice by
our candor, and we hope we have not
done so in this instance. There is no
possible reason why we should wish
to do so.
We stated in the "criticsmn COM
planned of that the paper might answer
the purpose for which its editor claims
it was intended-that of supplying
the business community with a
synopsis Of the latest news and the
market reports; and we are willing
to admit that the novelty is attract.
i've" but novelty soon wears off.
Therefore, we are still of the opinion
that 1t will not prove a success p,rn.u-
aenHy. Time, however, will settle
this question and we have 10 desire
whatever that the enterprising gentle
men should be disappointed. We had
much rather fail to establish the
reputation of being prophet.
AS to the Lette" containing "more
ners of interest in six days than any
weekly contains" We bud never dis.
puted, nor do The publishers of the.
wecklies charge nine dollars wear
for their papers, but even this is a
debatable question, for we think that, /
if the Electric Letter for Ole week !
were reduced to type, it would hardly /
bill the space occupied in the BEACON .
each week by news Of interest. This. /
however, is not question sprung BY /
Is, and we do not propose to discuss
I or to settle it by actual experiment.
est we do the Letter an injustice. In
we will say, we wish the
Letter complete success, and hope it
will continue to pay daily visits to our
,llicc.

Another Raid on the Horse
Thieves.

We learn from the Shreveport
Times, OF Sept. 2Sth, that TWO leading
members Of the band Of horse thieves,
that have so long infested Texas,
Louisiana and Arkansas, were recent
~ arrested in Harrison county, Texas,
and are III Jail at Marshall, and that
they proposed to turn states evidence
and expose the clan, which they saw
Is very extensive organization.
Their names are Flanagan aud FELTON,.
Flanagan was severely wounded by
his pursuers. Since their arrest u
negro was captured with II stolen
mnle, in Caddo parish, who stated
that he had belonged to the clan for
years and tina: be was taking the mule
to Flanagan and others that the
stock lie stole was generally taken to
Arkansas and sold and the proceeds
divided, and, in fact, corrobora,ed the
statement Of Flanagan and FELTON,, as
to the age, strength, extent and opera
tons OF the clan, and gave additional
names.
The Times further states that the
citizens Of that section have organized.
with the determination Of icrreting
the matter to the bottom, breaking up
the elan aud bringing the thieves to
punishment. Of course, it is the
sincere desire OF all honest people
tia, they will succeed, and all such
will give them all the assistance in
their power. To succeed their opera
tons will have 10 extend over the
entire territory occupied by the
thieves, and they will have to exercise
great caution. prudence and pcIsc-
verancc and success will also require
concert of action on the part of all
honest people.
That such an organized clan does
exist, that it extends over large T
extent of territory and is composed of
q large number Of men, many of .
whom, no doubt, are Of good standing .
in their neighbOrhOodS, are all facts
well known all over Northern Texas,
Louisiana and Arkausas-and indeed
The territory extends far beyond the
States named. No spasmodic efforts
and occasional indictments will break
it up; but vigorous, vigilant, constant
and persevering action is necessary to
accomplish that end. If the honest
people would rid the country of their
enemies and protect their property,
ct them bear this fact in mind.
Punish no innocent man, but let no
guilty one escape.

past, and we presume our planters and
their laborers have taken advantage
of the favorable season 10 pick and
gin large quantity Of the f!cccy sta

with the buoyancy Of the market, has
caused cotton to move quite briskly
for the last week, and more or less is
hauled in to the different stations in
our parish every day. But little of it
changes hands at this place, though
there are few local transactions at
very good figures, most of it, how
ever, is received on consignment.
