"The Confederate ram Webb left Al
exandria, La, on Red river, at O'Clock
in the morning of April 81, 1865, to run
the blockade Of gunboats in the Mis-
sissippi river, to Havana, Cuba, with
cargo of 1S6 bales of cotton. For lack
of coal, she took on 100 cords of pine
wood.
We had crew mostly composed OF
men from Shelby's Missouri troops, and
of course, no seamen. We passed the
mouth Of Red river where fleet OF
five Of tie best monitors in the Federal
navy were on guard looking for us, at
8 o'clock that night at trcmend-
Gus speed, and would have gotten
through if we had kept on but Capt.
Read was uneasy about the telegraph
wires not being cut, and we made sew
eral landings during the night.
So daylight found us just below Baton
Rouge and we were forced by gun
boat coming on behind lis to go ahead.
We passed New Orleans at 12:f0
o'clock that day and were fired at
by the gunboats in front of the
city. They shot eleven l5-inch guns at
US and struck us twice, but did not dis
able us in any way. Aiiter they fired
the second shot we changed tne flag,
stars and stripes, which we had at half
mast in mourning for the death ofPles-
ident Lincoln, and ran the confederate
flag to the masthead.
This was probably the last confed-
crate flag displayed in defiance of the
union. Our crew, as [ sta.ed at the

Roland Reed.

A dramatic event of more thar
ordinary importance, will be the ap.
psarance of this famous comedian at
the Grand opera house, next Thurs
day evening. He will present his
latest success LEND Me Your Wife"
with which he has been crowdIpg
the theatres through the country. 1t
Is unnecessary for me to dwell
upon Mr.. Reeds merits as actor
sufficient to cay that he is one of the
few regularly schooled comedians on
our stage. He has had all the bene-
fits of thorough discipline and ex-
periepce under the direction of the
best exampIars of the art of acting,
and bis well grounded methods give
value to his works now. He Is q
creative comedian, but, true to his
education in the stock, produces his
effects by approved rules OF comedy,
an in that differs from the host of
entertainers who will pass for come
dams while violating all tenets of art.
His progress has been rapid, and Ia
his departure from the amusing farci-
cal plays i'm which he has pleased and
won q host of admirers to comedy
that brings tears as we'll as smiles, he
took q step which was at once stamp
ed with the seal OF approval by his
large audiences throughout the coun-
try, and won for him the commenda-
ton of the critics as well.

executive committee has issued an
address in behalf of ex-President
Cleveland, declaring that the unfair
and undemocratic action of the
machine in New York in
dictates the purpose to make
the will of the people subservient TO
the greed vf politicians. We there
fore believe the time has come for
active aud resolve organization Of the
democratic masses in Georgia. 1t de-
clares Mr.. Cleveland the choice of the
democrats of Georgia and he can

They Appreciate the Relief.

ST.. PETERSBURG, March 1.-The
subscriptions made in America for
relief of the famine sufferers in this
country are exciting much interest.
All the A American contributions will
be handled by trusty agencies, and
no fear may be entertained that the
money will be devoted to other pur-
poses than those intended by the
charitable donors of those welcome
gifts.
The Ministerial Council is expected
to Immediately issue decree remov-
ing the prohibition placed some time
ago on the export of corn from the
Caucasus. The question of the ex-
port of oats will he postponed.
