Our esteemed neighbor Of DeSiard
street, the Bulletin, says that it is pro-
posed 70 place in the New Orleans and
Ouachita City trade ssmerchants' -
weekly packet with Il carrying capac-
ity Of about three thousand bales OF
cotton. We presume that the term
amerc,ants' means our Monroe mer-
chants. If such be the case, we can
assure them of our hearty support.
And right here we will state that the
thing will pay; though, as a matter of
course, they will be strenuously and
vigorously opposed and fought by the
"PooP' or stBlank's line" And if
they conclude to place this packet in
the trade, they must conclude to just
rs strenuously fight the "pool." Mon
roc stands no showing. If, for in.
stance, planter living at or near
Ouachita City desires to ship Il bale Of
cotton to Monroe, and though the dis
lance is only twenty-five miles, he or
the merchant who buys it, will have to
pay just as much as the merchant or
pHstIlASI WIN u DtAAS VI Colloi1 AAOAA
Monroe to New Orleans, distance of
four hundred and eighty miles. And
we may remark that, as general
thing, steamboats, have been in the
habit of making a large discrimination
against Monroe. But happily we see
the dawn Of a better day in the near
future-a day when we will see Monroe
enjoying the advantages Of its own
transportation lincs-a day that will
open a new era in the history, pros
perity and welfare of i, city which in
the past few years has built itself up
wonderfully, and that promises fair to
become the leading market in the
State, outside Of New Orleans.
Let our merchants not forget the
local packets that our late river re-
porter had SO much to say about, and
which subject he brought into such
notoriety.

on Wednesday, July %, 1880, aud L.
L. Wilmington, Esq, was appointed
President, and Il. II. Erwin, Secretary.
The object OF the meeting being ex-
planned, which was to cordially ap-
prove OF the mass meeting held in the
city of Monroe on the 10th inst, so far
as ratifying the nomination of candi.
dates for President and Vice-President
in the late Democratic Convention held
at Cincinnati, but to disapprove of the
manner of selecting delegates for the
various Wards, to meet the Congress
sionaf Convention to be held in the

it a principal of the democratic party,
which should be hold sacred, that the
citizens of each and every ward should
have the right of selecting their own
delegate, or delegates, to represent
them in this or any similar convention.
Therefore, in compliance with this
was suggested to the meeting as a suit
able man to represent Ward 8, In the
congressional convention to be held in
the city of Monroe on the 18th of
August, and was unanimously elected.
On motion, it was resolved that these
proceedings be published in the
Ouachita TELEGRAPH, and they be
regarded as credentials for our dele
gate to said convention.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

The river is on a great big boom is
rising at the rate of about fourteen
inches every twenty four hours, and
now stands about twelve feet above
low water mark. The big Fred A.
blanks would not experience any diff
ticulty in reaching here. The big rise
is occasioncd by the high stage of the
lower Mississippi, and by the recent
heavy and continuous showers that
have fallen in this section. AS high
up as Columbia the river is running
up stream instead of following its legit-
mate course down. This may appear
strange to some, but it is nevertheless
the fact, and we viii! state that this has
occurred before. Some four or five
years ago the current of the river ran
up stream for Il distance of twenty-five
miles above Monroe, and Messrs. Bry
K Muir were enabled to float Il raft Of
logs from twelve miles below to their
saw mill in this city.

Louisiana has lost an old aud valued
citizen in the death of Major Henry
Bry, which occurred at Monroe, On
Sunday, the first instant. Major Bry
was a native of Ouachita parish, and
has resided there the greater portion
of his long and honorable life. OF
French parcntage, he was sent to west
Point while yet youth, and was at
that now celebrated institution as a
cadet when the Marquis Dc Lafayette
visited ii in 1925, when he was last
in the United States. Being told
that they had Il young Frenchnan in
the cadet corps, the Marquis sent for
Cadet Bry and had Il long conversions
with him in his own native language.
While young Dry was at West Point,
jefferson Davis, Robert Il. Lee, Ben
janin G. Humphreys and Joseph f..
Johnston, were also cadets there, though
he was a class or so in advance of them.
a man of strong intellect, honest pur-
pose, and pure, generous impulses,
Henry Dry was worthy to be associated
will, that bright galaxy of Southern
intellect, courage and patriotism. Ills
integrity was never questioned; his
nnanlincss never doubted; his patriot
ism had never the shadow of suspicion
cast upon it; while his purity, gen
ticncs,, and kindness of heart, were
known and hOnorcd of all men. In
the fitness of years, after having wit
such as tho world has never known,
tho kind, frank, generous old man
known as Henry Dry, has passed be-
You'd the dark river. Peace to his
ashes. Honor to his memory.

GERMAN CARP.

We publish with pleasure the letter
of Fish Commissioner Mcdonald of Nir-
gina, to DR.. Moffett. There are man,
Der of ponds in this county suited to
raising these fish. Many of our farm
ers might construct ponds for the pur-
pose and in a few years have an abund
ant supply of fresh fish for the use OF
their families. The SUBJECTS worthy
the attention OF all who have ponds on
their lands or can conveniently con
struct them:
RICHMOND, VA, Jan. p, 1880.
DIR. Moffet.-Dear Sir l expect to re-
ceive in the Spring an additional supply
of the German Carp from the U. 5, Fish
Commission, which I propose to distrib-
ute to suitable ponds in the Valley and
Piedmont, Virginia.
These are pre-eminently pond hsh,
and think will give great satisfaction
in the State. Being vegetable feeders,
they require less care aud expense IN
keeping than other fish, and will thrive
under conditions unsuitable to other fish.
They multiply rapidly and grow quick
" and to a large size. A three year
old Carp with abundant food will obtain
a weight of or 8 pounds. 1t is not
necessary that the ponds be large, they
nav be. The water supply may be
small and may be drawn from an ordi-
nary branch. 1t is not important that
it be clear or cold. Carp would thrive
in the ordinary Stock ponds OF your sec
ton.
1t is essential, however, for success in
raising, that the ponds should contain
no other fish. 1t would be useless, for
example, to put Carp in pond with
Perch, Bass or Trout, which would sub
sist upon their young. 1t would be I'M
profitable to put them in the same Wa
ters with Suckers or Minnows which
would feed upon their spawn and prevent
increase. In case of the Suckers destroy
the breed by hybridizing.
The Carp is race CT fish just as the
Short Horn is race of cattle, will de-
generate If not kept pure by isolation.
To all who will take the trouble to
prepare suitable ponds, as above indica-
ted, | will furnish eight pairs OF the
German Carp, and deliver the same at
the nearest railroad station. Due notice
will be given of the time Of distribution,
which will be in April or May. Should
the applications be greater than the sup
ply, they will be filed and filled from
the ncxtlot received.
trust the time is not distant when
the distractions to the ascent of fish 10
your streams will be removed and the
Shad fishery lie established as perma,
nent interest along the shores OF
your principle rivers.
Very truly yours,
