THE VICRSBURG CITIZEN
Or july 2, 1868.

We propose in a short while to re-
produce the Eicksburg Citizen of July
end, 1868. This was the last wall
paper edition, having been issued two
days previous 10 the capture of the
city by Gen. Grant. The paper which
we will issue has one very important
feature not fonnd in the regular edi-
tion, as it contains an extra note added
by the victorious Federals after the
city was captured. This paper will
be valuable relict, so TO speak, of the
late war, as it will contain many items
of intense interest to all those who are
at all familiar with the scene of 1868
and 1864.
Parties desiring copies of this issue
will please let us know, in order that
we may strike off enough to supply
the demand, Extra copies five cents
each.

Since the burning of the Court
House in 0pelousas, the citizens of
Washington have suddenly come to
the conclusion that they cannot well
get along without a newspaper, and
SO they have revived the old Wash
ington Argus, which has been sus-
pended for some time. We are glad
to see the Washington people take
hold of the paper in way TO sustain
it, and make it success. A town
containing 1900 inhabitants and
backed by country as rich as the
surrounding country there, is well
able to support a good paper. We
wish brother Sandoz success, and en-
roll Argus again on our exchange list.

The fertility of much of the soil IN
the marsh is almost beyond belie1'
Where they were dredging it was as
black as tar, and greasy and slippery
to the touch. How much deeper II
was no one could tell. In parts o! the
embarrassment nothing could be seen
but this rich alIuvion. In parts OF the
marsh there is Gaping of decayed
vegetable matter of depth of one to
three feet, and Chen 4 greasy greenish
yellow clay with more or less "bnck-
shot" in it. Very frequently there is
considerable shell mixed with the sub
stratum. The soil is very cretaceous,
as can be seen by its cleavage-very
similar to that of the rotten limestone
of East Mississippi, more particularly;
But aside from analysis-of which l
know nothing-all conditions show
that this soil must be rich, for there
are deposited dead crustacea; shoals
of fish have decayed there; the rank
vegetation of ages has rotted there;
wild fowl, feeding on fish, have de-
posted their cxcrement there through
all the centuries, and this last element
of fertility is the predominant one OF
Peruvian guano.
1t is IN this sea marsh belt las con
tradisGinguished from the inclosed, OIL
prairie belt) that the syndicate pro
pose to winter their cattle. In summer
the flies and mosquitoes are deemed toe
troublesome. The canals will give
them dryer foot; and as the waters
recede grasses will be seeded. Der
muda, to our surprise, has got more
Or less foothoId, and timothy, meadow
fescue and herd grass will undoubt
eddy luxuriate in many spots now
But the grass question falls more
naturally into another category, ant
is better adapted to letter especially
addressed to the consideration of mat
tiers under the more direct cognizauc'
of Prof. Knapp. The drainage, en-
cheering and concerns akin, are mort
particularly within the scope of Prof
Thomson's work.
Down at the theatre of dredging i
a large rancho, with considerable shel
ter pens and a wharf. At the last poin
the company will hereafter, when thei
cattle become highly graded and fat
load their .barges, tow them out t.
large boats in the Gulf and ship then
up the riverto New Orleans, st. Louis
ETC., as the market will best allur
oonsignmeuts. They have cut quite
canal inland from Lake Calcasieu t
this wharf and arg ready for operations
So have given a very cursory an'
unsatisfactory view of some feature
of the seaside aspects of the company
operations This drainage matter,
believe, is the largest in its design i
the United States. Its actual doini
is by no means small. Its completio
will involve the expenditure Of mi
lions of dollars. Its feasibility upo
the authority of Prof. Thomson, is dc
monstrated. The money for it, ] al
informed, is assured. Twenty year
hence the present haunt of wild fov
and alhgators may be the play -groun
of happy children and the farms @
thrifty agriculturists.

Tic ridden WIN contest.

New YoRK. Oct 23-At last even the
lawyers who have charge Of the Tilden will
acknowledge that the document is 70 DO con-
tested At tue Office Of Carter g. LeJyard it
was stated that summons in the suit OF
George n. Tilden had bseu received, aud that
they had twenty days in which 70 put in an
appearances. Whether they would do this at
once, and then call for tue complaint, they
would not say, but it IS Thought probable
that they Will. Il was learned from official
sources that there IS no probability OF the
executors being enjoined pending tho suit.
It was also ascertained that the suit does not
confine itself to QUE clause as has been stated,
but is to cover @any and ali clauses deemed
10 be invalid From an official source it can
/ be positively denied that the creditors Of
George Tilden have agreed to bear the legal
expenses Of the suit, aud also that the heirs
have agreed to make good the $4,000 he for
feits for contesting. 1t IS pretty definitely
settled th.t Mr. Tildeu drew up the now
| famous document himself, and not his Law
yers, as has been generally supposed.

Euervthing Goes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver
gets out OF order. Constipation, dyspepsia,
contamination OF the blood, imperfect as
similation, are certain to ensue. But ii is
easy to prevent these consequences, and
remove their cause, by a course OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which stimulates
The hillary organ and regulates It's action.
The direct result is disappearance OF the
pains beneath the ribs and through the
shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches
yellowness of the skin, furred look of the
tongue, and sour oder OF the breath, which
characterize liver complaint. Sound di.
eestion and a regular habit OF body are
blessings also secured by the use OF this
celebrated restorative Of health, which i'm
parts degree of vigor to the body which
is its hest guarantee of safety from mala
rial epidemics. Nerve weakness and over
tension are relieved by it, and it improves
both appetite and sleep.

The "Home at Quincy bids fair 70 be the

the outer limit is but one and one-half miles
from the city. This tract was secured for
So. 900. The citizens Of Quincy subscribed

whole S20o.0o0 appropriated by the state was
available for improvements.
Quincy itself was wild. There were per-

800 tents pitched on the home grounds, under

NEW YORK. Oct 23.-Special kilograms 20
Bradstreet's note a further decline in tbs
total value OF merchandise distributed,
owing to the prolougation Of unseasonably
mild weather, to continued low prices for
grain and produce, and to country merchants
having been quite well stocked up with goods
in the late season of active trading. At New
York, Boston, Detroit, Nashville, Louisville,
Chicago, Burlington and New Orleans, these
Influences have evidently been recognized
The decline in the movement having been in
progress for over two weeks, continues TO
show itself in the clearings. The total bank
clearings at thirty cities for this week, as
specially wired to Bradstreet's, is 100, 293.

of forty-four railroads during the second
week in October aggregated 81, sos, 900,
gain of $4,000, or nearly 20 per cent as
compared with the like week in 1885.
The conspicuous trade feature IS found IN
the large increase in demand for raw and
| finished iron at the west and south. Prices
a.e again higher. At the east the demand Is
not nearly so large, though prices are firm.
Steel rails are no higher, although the mills
are well sold up. Dry goods generally are
| ready named. Prices, however, arc firmly
held, and on some grades Of brown and
bleached cottons even higher figures are
asked. Woolens are firm aud promise TO adj
vance. Wool is easier, with a tendency to-
ward weakness. The lockout in the knitting
mills at Amsterdam aud Cohoes, n. Y,
checks sales and stimulates resales to some
extent.
The labor troubles at the Philadelphia tex
| tile mills, where a lockout TO effect q, 900
employees is threatened November 9, unless
| the latter keep agreements alleged TO have
been made, promises to become disturbing
| influence. The switchmens strike at Mime
apolis is practically ended, after having de-
| ayed traffic for over a week. |Fheat is
| friner and higher on a letter export de-
mand, and the cold weather viii -i0ulats
the hog products industry. Cotton Is weaker
on a heavy movement OF the new crop and

weather favored packing. The Louisiana
