THE Nashville Chief of Police sue ceeded in arresting John L. Sullivan Thursday morning, in spite of his muscle and resistance. A pistol thrust in his face cowcd the burly pu- gulist at sight and proved the truth of the statement that Sullivan is as cowardly out of the ring as he is fear less within it. When he visited Ari- zona few years ago he trembled with apprehension lest some frolicsome typ ical cowboy should practice a little craftsmanship upon him, and he would not appear in public without a strong personal guard.

We would warn the good people
of Claiborne and Richland parishes
against that new swinging fence"
composed of wire and rails, and
pulled up to be more economical
and equally as durable as the old
fashioned rail fence. The argu-
ment in its favor is delusion and
a snare, as they will find to their
regret if any considerable invest
ment is made in the project. The
people of Grant parish are fully
determined to let this "wire and
rail fence" and the Texas cactus
hedge" severely alone, their expe-
rience having demonstrated both
to be first-class frauds.

l have just returned from a trip to
Shreveport on the magnificent steamer
Dacotah, and thought line or two to
your journal would prove acceptable.
The crops of both cotton and corn are in
better shape and further advanced than
ihave ever seen them for the past twenty
five years, the labor is efficient and cheer
full, and the general outlook is as bright
as sunny spring morning. The enthu-
siasm shown the independent Dacotah
along the entire route is something I'M
usual in this river, and the esteem and
respect shown her noble hearted COM
mander, Billy Boardman, is only equaled
by that shown some great benefactor of
worldwide celebrity and note. So great
Is the desire to grasp the hand of the one
whose energy and nerve has brought tears
to the eyes OF one of the most tyranical
monopolies that ever disgraced a noble
people, 1t is positive fact that a lady

add flowers to the wreath that already
encircles the brow of the farmers great

On our arrival at Shreveport the boom

to the wharf an Immense throng Of peo-
pie, and when the setting sun kissed the
western horizon the young gentlemen Of
the city came aboard with q band of

dancing was INDUCED in until after mid

close without some notice OF those officers

Meeting of the State Farmers
Union.

Pursuant to the call of President
j. NJ. Stallings the union met in
the court house in Alexandria on
tire 9th instant, and was in session
for two days. The meeting was
called for the purpose of taking
measures to meet the jute "com-
bine," by the establishment of a
mandatory of cotton bagging in
Louisiana, and also to consider the
advisability of reducing the weight
of cotton bales to 125 pounds.
Delegates from twenty-one parishes
were present, besides nearly all
of the officers of the State union,
Grant parish being represented by
w. d. Irwin and H. G. Goodwin.
After lengthy discussion on the
question of reducing the size of
the cotton bale, it was decided to
defer action until some future time.
The use of cotton bagging instead
of iute was unanimously agreed
upon. The question of establish
ing factory at Alexandria for the
manufacture of cotton bagging was
deferred until the August meeting.
By resolution committee of three
from each parish is to be appointed
to solicit subscriptions of stock in
cash and notes for so shares to
be used by the union in establish
ing their factory. The town council
of Alexandria by resolution offers
to give the union all the ground
necessary, and also donate $1,000
annually for FIVE years, provided
the factory is established in that
town. Trenton and. Monroe also
offer handsome amounts for the
factory to be located with them.
I. s. Adams, of Clinton, is chair
man of a committee of five to re-
ceive propositions from the differ
ent towns offering inducements for
the building of a factory. The union
made arrangements for two million
yards of Odenheimer cotton bag
ging, the same to be Of standard
width, and the negotiations for it
are ON the same terms as those
made by the Georgia alliance.

The Lafayette troubles were sup
plemented by another race trouble
at Gretna on last Sunday, in which
two or three negroes were wounded.
1t is the old story of negro igno-
rance and insolence where they
think they have the majority and
power, and it met its usual resist
ance and punishment at the hands
of the whites. The better class of
blacks, farmers and mechanics, I'M
derstand and appreciate the fact
that where they recognize the
whites right of control by reason
of wealth and intelligence, and all
the interests that go to maintain
civilization, the interests of colored
people are fully protected and
assured; and, so far as the unruly,
idle, criminal and insolent class of
negroes are concerned, the sooner
they are made to fear the indigna-
ton of our long-suffering white
citizens, the better it will be for
all concerned.

A Revolution Certain.

-
the following which will prove of
interest to our readers:
Recent developments in bacteriology,
according to DIR. Austin Flint, give in
creasing promise of results of the greatest
importance to the whole human race. A
revolution in the science and practice of
medicine is being slowly but surely
wrought; and a better acquaintance with
bacteria must in time make preventable,
or easily durable, a large class of now
formidable ailments. Among the diseases
in which the presence OF bacteria has
already been surely traced, and their in
fiuence lessened or destroyed, to the relief
or cure of the patient, are: Consumption,
dyphtheria, typhoid fever, yellow fever,
relapsing fever, the malarial fever, certain
catarrhs, tetanis, and nearly all conta-
gious and skin diseases.
DIR. G. r. King, of Lampasses,
Texas, discovered a remedy for
bacteria and germ life over a year
ago, and has revolutionized the
treatment of disease in Texas and
is rapidly spreading the good news
in other States. Royal Germetuer
must only be known to become q
household necessity.
Read the letters below:
CoLFAx, La, May 1859.
Mr.. Harry Haas, Alexandria La:
We have sold three jugs of
medicine (Germetuer) one each to Mr.. J.
E. Smith, Mr.. Bloxom and Mrs. Wallace.
Mr.. Smith says that he has been greatly
benefited bv Germetuer. In fact was
nearly dead and commenced to improve
on the second or third day after taking it.
Respectfully, S. w. RHoRER,
With c. H. Teal, Colfax.
Since taking Germetuer we learn
that Messrs. Bloxom and Smith
have improved wonderfully with
their rheumatism. Mrs. Wallace
has not yet been heard from, but,
judging from the universal cures
that Germetuer has made, we feel
safe in believing that she has also
been greatly benefited.
