Shreveport.

W. c. Mitchell, in Bossier Times, Nov 7, 1857.
Last week we made q visit to
Shreveport, and we were forcibly
struch with the idea, that North
Louisiana held within herself re-
sources and enterprise of no ordinary
character. Shreveport is itself liv-
ing proof of the enterprise of our cit
izens-she commands a commercial
position unequalled by any other
place north of the mouth of Red
River, and consequently we should
make it the emporium of North Lou.
isiana-which, from its enterprise, is
Justly entitled to be. Indeed it al
ready presents an appearance city
like. Business is yearly increasing,
and in a short time we predict there
will be city erected of no small di-
mensions. With railroad reaching
away into Eastern Texas, another to
the Mississippi; steamers traversing
Upper Red River and the Lakes;
magnificent palaces vending their
way downward-the thing is written.
Commanding the business of great
er portion of Eastern Texas, we from
the parishes surrounding should con.
slider it to our interest to build up
this place; for we doubt not but that
the railroad will attempt to direct the
business to the Mississippi River
We should have some point in this
portion of our State to concentrate
our commercial wealth, and sure
Shreveport deserves it, and should,
by all means command it. She has
always literally subscribed to all pub
lie works and improvements-in fact,
her population is composed of enter
prising people. At present even, she
presents an appearance of city in
miniature, and the day is not far dis
tant when she will vie with many of
the frst-class cities in the Union
Her merchants can supply the de-
mands of the planter at as cheap rates
as can be done at New Orleans or
elsewhere-only give them business
sufficient to induce them to invest
their capital, and there can be no
doubt that they will build up a city
in our midst. Surely it is to the in
terest of the planter and mechanic to
keep their funds circulating at home,
and not send it abroad. Red River
can be made navigable the greater
portion OF the year, by the iudicious
OF few thousand dollars, which the
State would otherwise squander upon
institutions where the people have
no real interest. North Louisiana
pays into the public treasury large
amount of internal improvement fund
and surely she has right to demand
the expenditure of some portion of it
upon her own public highways.

Alesson taught by the sugar scan
dial is that where there is protection
there is bound to be corruption. The
great profits derived from protection
upon articles of import easily induce
the beneficiary protection to secure
its continuance by purchase, if nec-
essary. The whole system is wrong
and hurtful and vicious. When there
shall be no more protection there will
be no more bribery, no more corrup-
tion and no more scandal.
