What's Up IL?

The Radical press North, that were
wont to abuse and vil|ify the South
in a most shameful mauuer, are now
vigorously engaged in patting MS o.,
the back and calling us "gool fel.

thine enemy becomes so loving all at
once, look ont for some rascality.
We can stand abuse and live, but
it is impossible to soft savder US
and not produce combustion-.wc will
laugh, because they are fools enough
to believe us idiots. 1t was after
Gettysburg, we believe, that tie Nor
thern ladies showered upon wounded
prisoners all the aelicacies to he had.
but invariably after this charitable
work, these ladies would spoil it all
by asking; shave l not been good tn

the oath Of allegiance to the Unite'l
States After this complimenting Of
the South is over, We expect to hear
the Tribune say--"we were so good to
you-aon't you think you ought to
support Hayes"
1t will all come to that; the bluff
game has been dropped, it did not
pay, and might be serious, now they
are trying tive high con'pliment-look
out for the "tkirty pieces of silver

Red River-Failure and Cppor

Our sistct parish, Red River, has
|abowd since its formation under
bliyhting influences. Twitche'' an"
his gang Of robbers sw""ped down
upon her far fields and well nigh
dcsolated, with excessive taxation,
her people.
Starting ont on the correct path t"
rid herself Of this grinding rule, she
has met obstacles from those "ho
should Lave rendered assistance, and
all the efforts of her sons have so far
proved abortive, from the fact that
there has been no unity of action
among those who we've "tngginG at
the Wheel
Men arc act'atcl by motives in all
events of life, whether those motives
hc coed or bad the incidental histo-
~ of their acts must prove. Some
men were born with one idea have
learned that and forgot all else, but
We are constrained to say that the
action of some persons in that parish,
in dividing forces before the solid
enemy, was, though not reasonable
from the lights before It's, rs futile It's
it WAS idiotic.
The compromise path is well beat.
en- in all tho Southern States; in all
the parishes of this State, and in n"
single instance has benefit, to say
nothing of success, accrued from those
compromises. The man who would
insist in the face of condemning his
tory-history he has not learned from
books, bnt from experience, npon
'fxing up" a compromise must ad-
nit himself a fool, to escape a more
severe condemnation. This is what
has been and is the matter with Red
River-tlis and nothing more.
1t is useless to say that better
fight could not have been made with
il united army-as will tell us that
a mob can overcome disciplined
force by firing into that force and
sabclins themselves.
Unity of forcc-liscip1ine, action
and aggression, should be blazoned
on every political banner, if that ban
ncr hopes to wave over victorious
fields. Every individual must yield
full and explicit obedience to the
authority in command, Tire will OF
the majority, and whatever plan they
may decide Upon, all must work for
even should they differ as to its ex-
pediency. No such thing as action or
aggression can be hoped for from mn
tinous ranks; discussion comes at
the wrong time-when orders are is
sued not when plans arc matured
and mapped out. Nrangling takes
place, authority is lost sight of, and a
political pop-eun gurilla warfare be-
gins, in which Your own friends suf-
fer, and during which the enemy
walks into the citidc|.
We hope from this on that our
friends of Red River will show that
patriotic spirit which We know they
possess; that they will unite fully
and heartily in obedience to panty
dicipline and party authority, through
and by which alone they can hope TIC
succeed, and success with them i
life ; defeat, death.

The RIVER continues to recede,
and is now too low for navigation.
The bar at the month is dry for over
half mile, and a dozen or more
steamers are stuck, with either up or
down trims.
