TTlhe undersigned is now ready to receive sub
i seripti0ns tor copies of the above named
important historical work, the last volume of
which is passing rapidly through the press
The great interest which is felt in all parts of
the country to read what the distinguished
head of the late Confederate Government has
to say about the causes which led to the war
between the United States and the States
which seeded, and the results Of the great
conflict. is already manifested by many thou
sands in their desire to receive early copies of
portraits Of Mr. Davis, his Cabinet, Aides and
Generals, and with illustrative wood cuts.
The following extracts from Mr.. Davis in
PRODUCTION to his book will give an idea Of the
work from the authors standpoint: "A duty
to my cOuntrymen; to the memory of those
who died in defense of cause cOnsecrated by
inheritance, as we'll as sustained by convic-
ton; and to those who. perhaps less fortunate.
staked all, and lost all, save life and honor, in
its behalf, has impelled me to attempt the vim
dicati0n Of their cause and conduct. For this
purpose haved decided to present an historical
sketch of the events which preceded and at
maintain their existence and their rights as
sovereign communicable creators, not the
creatures, of the General Government. ....
To the parents, tho widows, and the orphans of
the Confederate dead, offer the consolation
that those for whom they mourn, died fog the
right-a willing sacrifice on the altar of their
country, where their memories, enshrined in
the hearts Of their people, will go down in ira
dition to posterity, immortalized by valor in
defense of homo, and martyrd0m for liberty"

Journalism in Natchitoches.

A recent number of the Natchi.
toches indicator, edited by the en-
terprising Gen. J. 81. Cosgroye, con-
tanned the following scrap of inter-
esting history of journalism in that
parish:
The Natchitoches fire of April 10
past put an end to every scrap and
particle OF printing material which
had ever been used in this city, and
the history of journalism here dates
back over fifty years. The Chroni.
Gle and Union were the ante bellum
papers. Next came the Times pub.
iished during the war by L. Duplex,
Esq, and which was used by the
Federals as the Union during the
occupancy of this place. The Times
was subsequently published by Mr..
q. j. Puckette, and at the same time
the Spectator, conducted by j. NJ.
Scanland, Esq.,, sprang into exis-
tence. Next came the Red River
News, conducted successfully BY
Jas. .Cromie ESQ.,, Mr.. L. Fl. Bur.
dick. The Times was bought by
Mr.. Burdick and became merged
into the News. 1t subsequently re-
yerted to the first proprietor, Mr.. L.
Duplex. Then sprang into exis-
tence the Natchitoches Republican
under Mr.. Ed. Ezernack, followed by
the Record conducted by A. D.
Wright, Esq. The Record was pur.
chased by Mr.. Hewitt, Of Mansfield,
and became the Reporter. Its ma.
terial is now a part of the Sabine
Index published by Mr.. Presley.
The Times and News combined were
sold to j. 81. Cosgrove, ESQ.,, CON-
prising the greater part of the Vim.
dicator Office. I'm June, 1880, the
Natchitoches Register made its APP
pearance as an opposition paper to
the indicator. It was published
in the same building and adjoining
the Vindicator Office. It suspended
Feb. 5th, 1881, but the material was
never moved and hence met the
same fate as the VindicatOr.
Thus, of all the journals publish
ed in ante and post,bellum days,
there remained not a single vestige
on April Goth, 1881, save some mel
ted type and broken machinery.
To-day the indicator begins a
fresh era in journalism with a CON-
plete and new outfit, and for the
first time in the newspaper history
OF Ancient Natchitoches, with
magnificent cylinder press propelled
by steam.

JOURNALISM IN oUAcH1rA.

JOURNALISM IN OUACHITA.
A recent issue Of the Ouachita
Telegraph, published by George w.
McCranie, Esq, gives the following
scrap of newspaper history Of that
parish:
ssThe Taylor power press upon
which the first number Of the Lou
isiana Intelligencer (anti-bellum)
was printed, was shipped on the

lean, who purchased it as old iron at
S5 per ton, delivered. The press
was purchased in 1859 by Messrs.
John Ray, Ludeling and others, and
the paper was issued with F. A.
Hall and Jno. Armstrong as editors.
The original cost was about $1,000.
Mr.. Ennemoser, the last vendor,
will realize about $40 on his sale.
This is the last Of the printing
presses used in Monroe prior to the
war, that used by the Register hav-
ing been removed during the war;
and but little of the material then
used is still here. There are a few
relics of the old American Union
published by the writer in 1871
also of the Register and of the In.
telligencer, to be found in this office,
which is all that remains here of
ante bellum printing material in
Monroe where journalism had exis-
tence more than fifty years ago.

Activity In Railroads.

Erlanger syndicate, control of the
Vicksburg and Meridian, and Vicks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific Rail
roads. The New Orleansand North
eastern road will be built at once by
the same company.
Baron Erlanger & Co., who are
owners of the Alabama Great South.
ern, are of the opinion that the
Southern States offer extraordinary
inducements for the investment of
money, and, as they are the agents
of large number of capitalists in
England and on the continent, it is
reasonable to suppose that the &C
QUESTION of roads named, and the
Albany and Brunswick, which was
purchased for them last month by
Mr.. Wolfe, means the establishment

Shreveport and the Southeast sea

New Orleans and Chattanooga, at
the same time tapping and making
tributary to them the richest agri.
cultural, mineral and timber regions
in Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia
and Alabama. But the system will
not halt at Chattanooga. 1t must
have direct connection with Cincin-
natl and the North and Northeast.
In coming to Cincinnati it will have
the selection Of two routes-the e.
T., V. and g., and Cincinnati and

cannot be o shadow of doubt. The
termini of the system will be at Gin.

as the central and operating point.
Lines will be constructed from
Chattanooga to Albany, and from
the A. G. s. to Montgomery. Be-
sides there win be taps and feeders
to all desirable points within reach
Of the main lines. The natural ally
of the system in the North will be
the Ohio Railway Company, the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
the Erie, the Delaware and Hudson
