A t t e.At i 9a t-Persons arriving with, or receiving, late southern or northern papers, will oblige us and benefit our readers, by loaning them to the editor, if only for an hour. Items of news also solicited. We proposed some time since, our readers are all now probably aware of what we proposed to do. The eami. Weekly speaks for itself. Red River is falling at this point A heavy rise is reported above. Rumor says that Sherman hals has been cornered. We hope it is tree. Gen. Churchil's forces arrived in this city on last Thursday evening. The Alexandria Dtemocrat comes to as this week as a Semi- IWeekly. We welcome it with pleasure. The San Antonio News has re armed its Semi-Weekly visits. Good We have made arrangements to publish a prices current of Shreve port regularly. Our readers can rely on the quotations as they are care ulily prepared. Jest as we go to press we learn that a private dispatch has been re seived here to the effect tlhat a fight has occurred near Charlotte. N. C.. In which Gen. Beauregard waskilled. Sherman was wounded, and died two days afterwards. Enemy's loss 30,000. Our loss heavy. On last Saturday a lot of deserters from Hood's army, made their ap pearance in this place. They were well armed and mounted. They represented that they crossed the Mississippi insight of two gunboats. and were not interferred with. There are a lot more, we understand, at Natchitoches. The Houstot Telegraph and the Houston Newt, are both published daily now. The Weekly News, published on Tuesday morning, is made up princi pally from the Semi-Weekly, and contains the most important and in teresting reading matter selected from the Semi-Weekly, besides such addi tional news intelligence as may be received up to Monday evening. Thanks to Mr. Jas Burke, of Houston, Texas, for a paper of Um brella China seeds. We intend to have some nice shade trees from them some days hence. Our accomodating friend James Burke of Houston, has kindly sent as another package of assorted gar den s ceds, Persons needing any thing of that kind should send to Mr. Burke, who will fill all orders promptly. Yesterday morning while the 4th Missouri Battery were going up Texas street, they called on our wor thy Governor, and were entertained by him with a few patriotic remarks. Just as we were arriving at the spot they commenced to move, lustily cheering his Excellency. We are pleased to note this good feeling be tween the soldiers and the Executive The latest dispatches received since Tuesday appear in this issne; if true, though not seemingly of much importance, they afford much room for speculation. Hood, it is insinu ated is to be assigned to some impor tant command in this Department The old rumor of peace by recogni tion is again revived, under more fa vorable circumstances, as it emanates throug-the reliable gentleman, who has been assured by a foreign gentle man of high position, that Napoleon will assert our independence, and sapport his course, if requisite, by amned intervention. We are pleased to kdbw all this, and our readers, no doubt, are overjoyed at the intelli geese. as it is what a great many lho for, yet we cannot forbear from thewig ecd water upon the whole, ado We ah it loosh very well s it br-Ia paint. · Don't grasp too eager ly at the lntelligence. 'The only itlw W whiek we que confidently ater daeaWdeme, and which gives us otrevwed hope as to our prospects b~e. 4qtl,. is the defeat of the bill in Se aorarmilg negoes sad pla sI thd ta-. theiM ld. Tho, wre i i't, as to our true It is astonishing that people never know when they are well off. We are pained to notice an inclination to find fault with the commander of this district, on the part of some, who ap pear to be strong friends of General Taylor. Fault finding has never yet accomplished any beneficial results in any case. Gen. Smith, we believe. under the circumstances, and with the means at his command, has done as much as any other man could have been expected to do. On taking charge of this Department, composed of a large tract of territory. he had, comparatively speaking, no available troops. As a General, hi past career speaks for itself. His campaign in Kentucky and his con duct at Manassas, are recorded, and future historians will dwell with pleasure on that part of their work. Before any writer now attempts to assail the General, on his past career in this Department, he should lay aside all prejudice, and reflect over ithe probable result of poisoning the the minds of his readers, with his views, and causing a divided scnti ment instead of confidence and unity of feeling. We feel contident that the General will vet show his enemies that they must acknowledge 1hi ability as a military comnmamndr. and this he will assuredly do, whenl th'. time arrived. We der not beltieve that the not,,d General Lee, were he in the- sat:n position,could give entire satisfitctio t. One thing is positive, the people otf this D)epartment who do not belong to the service, have no grounds ofI complaints so far as we know, and we venture the assertion, that, were they subject to the will of any other man, they would have had a harder time of it. The interest of the civil ian, as also that of the military, ap pear to be the General's study, and no grievances were ever laid before him, but what redress was had.. Mlore than this could not be expected nor asked. Let us give our hearty and cordial support to the Commuatid er, and we assist our cause and aid him in carrying into effect that for which he was placed in the responsi ble position. Do away with all ill feelings and have but one mintd, and let that be to do what is right, comet what will. We have lately seen sev eral articles censuring the General. and trust that the last has appeared. When he fails to perform his duty. it will be ample time to criticize him. but not until then. A soldier writing to the Gazette. from Monroe, La., under date ,t March Sth, says " there has been two Yankee cotton boats at this place for the past two or three days. ThIey have on board many things to entice, the Confederates to trade to them cotton, an article which was once supposed to be King, but has lost its majesty though not all of its power. These boats have put ashore here a. large quantity of bagging and rope.. They have coffee, whiskey, &c., &c. And with shame be it said, some of our Confederate officers, some with stars on their collars, are constantly on these boats, imbibing their whis key and eating their oysters, and are extraordinarily intimate with thetS Yankees, who have devastated our country, burned our homes, and made many of our women and chil dren widows and orphans, and whom our gallant soldiers are still fighting over the blackened ruins of a once happy country." We are sorry to hear this. and as tonished to think that it is tolerated. Proper steps should be taken to putt an immediate stop to such trafficng. It broods no good, and encourages, our people to become intimate with the enemys of our country. The' course to pursuie, in cases of that character, cannot be too strict-even unto seizing them. What! are we to meet the enemy with open band, and regale ourselves with Ihis liquors and nick-nacs 1 Our count.y friends are reminded that we will be pleased to receive provision for subscription. In the aobsence of money we are perfectly willing to barter. From tile tenor of our despatches, we may anticipate the receipt of in telligence of hard fought battles in the east. A few days, doubtless, will bring us particulars. A rumor was currenmt that the noble Beanegard was killed in a late fight, but as he has been killed before by dame rn mnor, we need the papers to satisfy as on that point. The eommunication signed ' Old TeXian," does not appear In our pa per, fr eason that the writer has utected to firnish his name. By reference to the advertisement it will be seen that at the Waeo (Texas) University, in addition to the regular course of studies, boys can receive a military education. The university is well known, and with this addition, it can justly be classed among the first in the coun try. Boys between the age of 17 and 18, of course belong to the reserve corps, but it \ ill be seen that they are permitted to attend the. university., and perfect themselves in the milita ry school. No, doubt, many will avail thtnemselves of tire oppalrtunityt when they becoume cognizant ot the fact. The locality is one of the healthiest in Texas, arud the faculty not surpassetd. On the strength of our eating "old ro.'sters" our friend I)odson of the !Henderson Times, promises in black and white, to send us some "ppullets," when he gets his provision store in operation. We thank him kindly and hold him to his promise, provid ed he does not forward them by mail. We are always in for pull it. ---o•, __ We have just received the follow ihlg letter front lion T.
