to immortalize themselves on the battle
fields of the Old Dominion, gave us an
appreciated call this week Time has
dealt gently Will, him 10 bis Texas
home, and the 81 years which have
elapsed since he exchanged tho pleas
ures and comforts OF old Opclonsas for
the ha,Gsl,ips aud dangers of the camp
aud the bivulac, have wrought but re-
markabiy few changes in his appearance.
We welcome him teack, even though

which delighted bis gifted youth, when
all the world lay bright fbefore him, and
assure him that our pe5ple still retain
a deep sense of the obligation they are
under to him and his gali4nt comrades

the name OF Louisiana ,,,,vhen in their
vigorous young manb-oh they VIZ AN
integral part of mat immortaluArmy
of Northern Virginia, whose grand
achievements challenged the attmira
tion of the civilized world.
In our issue of Sept. we published
without comment Il letter written by
Mr.. j. E. Glisson. of New Orleans, to
the Times Democrat OF August 81, and
said letter misrepresented its po-
sitiOn on the silver question, INDUCED
in some very severe structures upon US
because it thought we should at the
same time have "stated it's position on
that question. In our issue of Sept
81 We explained that the letter had been
published by request, and offered to fur
nish the Clarion with the name of the
gentleman who requested its publica-
ton. This clearly relieved us of all
responsibility in the matter; and as the
Clarion has recently repeatedly pro-
fessed desire to maintain friendly
relations with us as we'll as with the
balance Of the world, we had hoped
and expected to see in its last issue a
withdrawal of its hasty and offensive
words. But its last issue did not con-
tain word about the matter We
have only to add that if it pursues a
similar course with the balance of the
world, we think We may safely say it
will not remain at peace very long.
