SII A City to Let.-The Lincoln gov eminent is hereby informed by th,. New York Dav Book that theu city is ' for reout" cheap: Who wants to rent a city---a regl- I lar "big thing?" New "'ork is just a now plastered all over with handbills 1 Sto let." Don't " Dr." Lincoln, of .1Vashington, want to hire a city ? It e will probably cost him a littlmore t: than it did to buy some of our rI . C.'s-but the city is " to let." 'iThe Shreveport Rebels met yes terday at the Gaiety Theater, for the t purpose of electing their oflicers, and afttr the preliminary steps, We are .sorry to say the company left in dis order arnd dissatisfatctio(n.

It i., the first hale ot cotton o( tbh ni-ason. Mr.P., in a letter, says. that that al:e is for the. Soutlern cause, and that all hie makes is at the dis posal of the S',uthern Confederacy. Who can beat this? What will Abe think when he hears of cotton re coived in Shreveport on the 6th of August. '['his is the first hale raised in our Confidermay.

We have been reliably informed U that at the above named place, the it next great battle will take placeip all ( probability, some time this week.- c' Should such prove to be the case, and 01 the Ahlmighty causes us to be victori- ol 1eus, and the battle prove as decisive tl a victory as that of Manassas, we fit predict a caving in of the enemy.-h As it is, the majority of the fiederal army are bIecoming heartily disgust- tc ed with the cause they espouse. Ev ery day we receive intellignco of A dissatisfaction among their ranks some desert, others, whose terms of enlistment have expirled, will not, under any circumnstartces, re-enlist.I With feelings of this description no \ body of men can fight. It is there fore useless for our enemies to persist " in a warfare which only injures them, y the longer tlhey are engagid in it. i1 They are beginning to view the pres- t cut condition of affairs in the samen P light that we have described, and - from this we draw our conclusions. We noticed a friend of ours yes terday, marching about the street,all rsolitary and alone, with a broom as a substitute for a musket. He is fldlvy s - bent on doing mischief to the era V my, and is making grand lprepara tions with tiher expectatin of f'ollow ing the Ra.bls to tll war. 1ie was r seen doing a daring and strategical t feat--attacking a hg which was quietly rolling in thie gut:er-as he charg'ed bayonet on gr'uc:r, a ficend f grasped his armn, rand prleventcd blood- c shed.

Whiy , Why this deliberate pressing oalt of view the re- rights of men ant thet authority ofi of the people ?" ed Th'e preamble of the Constitution of the Conftederate States, as we find it published in the Atlanta (Ga.) it- Chronicle and Sentinel, reads as fol lows : "Wit e, the people of the Confeder ra, ate States, each State acting in its ie. sovereign and independent chareacter, in ordeato form a permanent federal as governu~ient, establish justice, insure " domestic tranquility, and secure the ol blessings to ourselves and our poster- of ity'-invoking the favor of Almnighty God-do ordain and cst:lblish this constitution forthce (!onfdedratC States ci of America." o Now, what could havie beren the bs object of the Presidcut in making tl that pretended quotation' Was the falsehood stated to give more point to st his argument against secession; or ci was it nlade in entire ignorance of the subject upon which lie profiessed to enlight'nx the people? tl An Incident of the I'anic-IIow a Congressmen was Fixed.
