in our markets are higher than in any other
city in the United States, and yet New Or
leans is nearer by several hundred miles to I
the largest resources of beef, mutton, calves 1
and hogs of any other large town.
Texas is now the greatest producer and ex- c
porter of fresh meat in the world. She is the
most reliable source of supply of live cattle I
for the great cities of the West and North. I
Visit the vast yards of the Union Stock I
Dl)pot at Chicago, one of the grandest displays
of the enterprise and energy of that people,
and you will find thousands of the long
horned and long-logged hut healthy and
vigorous cattle from the great plains of s
Texas.
Those cattle are from Western Texas, and
they are carried on railroads nine hundred
and seventy miles. They are delivered in
Chicago in better condition, in larger number,
and at about the same cost of transportation
as the same cattle are shipped to New Orleans.
When butchered and sold in the market for
consumption the best qualities of this beef
will command twelve cents per pound. These
cattle can be bought in Western Texas at an
average of $~ a head, and butchered there,
the hide and tallow paying the cost, could by
refrigerating cars be delivered and sold in
this city, with large profit, at five cents per
pound.
For far inferior meat of the same cattle our
consumers pay from fifteen to twenty ients
per pound in our markets.
These, we believe, are admitted facts:
That the meat sold in our markets is of the
most inferior sort, such as would not be
permitted to be sold in any other mnarkets
in the country, may be ascertained by a visit
any morning to our principal markets.
Of the two or three hundred beeves butch;
ered in this city daIly and sold to our poopie
and devoured by them, it is a moderate es
timate that one-half arq not fit to be
killed for food and would nrt be sold by the I
butchers in .the. other large cities of the
country.
Tetn'at causes and facts do we owe this 4
dition of our supply of meat and this I
heavy burden imposed upon our people ? We I
give the principal one :
The lack of transportation and conpeti
tion therein to bring the superabundant sup
ply of Texas cattle to this city.
The great body of them are now brought by
Morgan's line of steamers and railroad. It is
a rough mode of carriage, and the cattle are
greatly reduced in weight and battered, ill
used and made feverish by the exposure and
handling. It is an expensive carriage,
amounting to nearly one-half the value of
the animals where they are shipped. Then
it is charged that Mr. Morgan selects his
shippers and gives a preference to certain
persons who have a monopoly of his car
riage. As a private capitalist and owner of
boats and cars, Mr. Morgan cannot be con
trolled in his contracts and business transac
tions. There is no mode, of breaking down
his monopoly and insuring to our commu
nity the benefits of competition, except that
of securiing other nmans of transportation.
This experience ought, therefore, to imi
press us with the urgent necessity of com
pleting our railroad connection with Texas
with our own means, so as to bring the trans
portation of cattle under the control of our
own people, and thus assert the claims of our
city as the principal cattle market of the
Mississippi valley. If we do not do this very
promptly, St. Louis and Chicago will draw
off the whole vast supply of cattle from
Texas to their enormous yards and thence
distribute them through the North and West,
and we will be left to worry along with the
present supply of indifferent cattle, and-our
butchere be shamed and degraded by the sale
at high prices of the wretched meat now con
sumedi by our citizens.
DEATH OF FORREST.
(ion. Nathan Bedford Forrest has at last
succumbed to a long and lingering disease,
dying at Memphis, Tennessee, on the 29th of
October, at the age of fifty-seven. He was
born In North Carolina, to which place his
parents had emigrated from Werst Virginia.
He was the eldest of twin brothers. Ills
father having a large family emigrated from
Tennessee to Tippah county, Mississippi,
shortly after the acquisition of North Missis
sippi from the Chickasaw Indians, by virtue
of the treaty of I)ancing Rabbit Creek.
His father died shortly afterward, and the
care of a large family, consisting of the
widowed mother and several brothers and
sisters, devolved upon Bedford, who even in
youth exhibited the strong, manly qualities
of energy, !ourage andl strong sense, which
subsequently advanced him tA so high a posi
tion in the regards of his fellow men.
In the narrow compass of this sketch, we
cannot group oven the leading incidents of
his remnarkabl li'fe. A book describing his
military exploits, which has had a wide circu
lation, has done full justice to these. All that
is proper here is to record the genernal esti
mate of hli as a nan of commanding quali
ties. Without education or a profession,
reared in a rude and somewhat violent com
nmuity, pursuing modes of life and business
which exposed him to constant perils and
severe trials of his manly qualities, and
compelled a reliance upon his personal cour
age' aln prowess, he always proved ready for
'very emergency and shrunk from no danger
or responsibility.
Like all mten of prominence of his age:' nd
Ssection, Ihe was required early in his mnan
i hood to itmpress the multitude with a proper
f awe and respect for his pluck and resolution.
Thus he benitme involved in bloody affrays
I with desperate men, wherein he uniformly
e proved the victor. These made him noto
0 rious. The qualities thus displayed were
e- vinced in a better and higher sphere - in the
p ractical and business affairs of life. A stern
I sense of independence and self-reliance char
t acterized his conduct of all affairs, and
Smarlked all his transactions. He was a self
f asserting iman, who commanlded respect in
t all relatiotns.
These qualities inclined him to military
enterprise, and prompted himl to embark
e in a semi-military expedition to Texas, short
ly after'the acquisition of that State. The
t dispersion of this expedition in Texas, when
all prospects of military oporations had van
ls isl(, threw young Forrest on his own re
a sources, and he set to work as a wood chopper
to make an honest living, and to raise the
means of paying his expenses home. When
C he got safely back to his old place of business,
r he was a fully matured man, armed and
equipped for all the duties and emergencies of
life. Embarking in the businessof buying and
selling lands and slaves, his transactions were
one very large and extensive scale. He was
yM ens of bla s~aiue.
tallying round him the young men of
Tennessee and Mississippi *ho armed,
equipped and mounted themselves with their
private means, he organized a cavalry force
which made its mark at the very beginning
of the war. This force rapidly augmented
into a brigade and division, which Forrest
led and handled with consummate ability and
courage, until it became famous as the finest
body of cavalry engaged on either side in the
West. It would occupy too large a space in
our columns to sketch the services and
achievements of this body of men and the
wonderful fertility, tact, daring and activity
of its commander. No other cotmuand in
the Confederate army could record more
victories, more extraordinary escapes and
larger results achieved with so small a force.
To Forrest is due the now organization
which was finally adopted by both armies;
superseding the clumsy old system of cav
alry, heavily mounted and armed, fighting
on horseback, with sabres and carbines. Ills
cavalry were in fact mounted rillemen, using
horses only for rapid movements, and fight
ing on foot as skirmishers and infantry, with
the horses tethered, and kept out of reach of
bullets and shells, but ready to be mounted 8
for pursuit and retreat. He reduced this to
a system and illustrated its efficiency in 1
many brilliant campaigns. 8
In battle Forrest was the very incarnation
of personal prowess, heroism and audacity.
He always led the charge. and was the last
in the retreat.
No warrior ever shared so largely in the
gundia ccrltnimniM. no General commanding
large bodies of men ever pushed himself so
recklessly into the very thick of strife, and 8
bore so perilous and conspicuous a part in
battle as Forrest in every section in which
his force was engaged. Ills idea of war was
that of the cavaliers of the middle ages, when
every knight had to choose his adversary and
bring him to close quarters and a deadly
issue. And yet he was always a delicate
structure, and even during the war, carried the
seeds of the disease to wh a he hail finally
to succumb. But our sket -h grows upon us,
and gives warning of the need of abridging 'I
it, which we do with reluctance. but with a
full confidence that other and abler pens will I
find it a worthy and copious theme for elab
orate description and narrative of one of the
most remarkable characters and careers de
veloped by our great civil war.
A THRIFTY MAYOR.
'The Mayor of Baltimore has been afforded
an opportunity of promoting cultivation and
production, and increasing the health of the
country in a manner and in a line wherein no
other Mayor has ever yet achieved distinc
tion. It appears that one of the duties of his
office is to supervise and take care of a flock
of sheep of the finest Mouthdown breedl,
which were purchase some years ago, for
the main purpose of keeping down and utiliz
ing the grass in the public parks. This
new duty of the Mayor of a city has been so
satisfactorily performed, through several ad
ministrations, that from this flock the cor
poration of Baltimore has been enabled to
supply to the sheep raisers of Maryland
some of the best specimens of the pure
Southdown for breeding purposes, which
have even been Introduced into this 8tate*
This fact and result increase the respect we
have always entertained for the Mayoralty
and corporation of Baltimore ever since they
evinced so much more practical good sense
and thrift in the management of their
share of the legacy of John McDonogh than
New Orloans. Baltimore and New Orleans
were co-heirs to the large estate of that ec
centric old miser. Each reallrod about a
million and a half on their legacies. Balti
more has kept her share; Now Orleans has
nothing left of hors but a few cheap school
houses anti a credit on the books of the city.
Here is another proof of the thrift of the
municipality of Baltimore, this grazing of
their parks, so as to promote the propaga
tion and developement of the beot brood of
sheep. And yet here in tile city of New Or
loans, within the limits of this corporation,
and under the control of its Administrators,
we have thousands of acres of grass, which
are never utilized nor mlade productive of any
useful object, but in fact are left to rot and
decay, or to be appropriated by persons who
have no right thereto, withlout profit or any
sort of return to this city. When, in truth,
if these lands were enclosed and put under
proper admlinistration, and the owners of
vacant lots compelled to enclose the same,
and a small fee exacted from those who
grazed on the corporation property, quite a
respIectalble revenue might be derived there
from, and our parks and commons be greatly
improved by the cutting down of the rallk
verdure, which renders them so ofensive' and
and inslubrilous.
In view of the wrtched condlition of tile
large portion of the lean, worn-out cattle sent
to u.s from Texas for our market supply.
which, under tilhe Slaughter llousIe monoploly
and the miserable farce of an ins)pection pro
vided in the act creating tIhat monopoly, the
people0 are compelled to buy and colnslume as
good beef, woui( it not be an exccl lent ar
rangement to afford to the.se poor, starved
cattle, driven out of Morgan's boats and cars
in a half dying condition, an opportunity of
resuscitating thcemselves and getting into a
state wilen under a fair insp:ection they might
be passed as suitable for market, by allowing
them to graze on the abundlant pasturage of
tile city parks and public places.
Is it not a mrost unthrifty condlition of the
administration of the property and of tilhe
,.police power of a State and city which con
demns a population of over two hundred
thousand people t5 subsist upon lean,
starved andi unwholesome aninmals, whell
the city hasu under its control the means
of rend.erlng such food nutrltious and whole
some--of afflording abundant pasturage to
tilthe wornout herds eject~d flotl the Texas
boats and cars, into our "grand a.llluoir,'
and permits such resources to runll to waste
and nuisance rather than apply them to so
important and valuable a use as that to which
k tile Mayor and corporation of Baltimore have
devoted a small portion of the parks of that
city?
