This paper will pay liberally for
news of any character- furnished it,
whenever used. In writing, he brief
and to the point, and forward by the
quickest means possible.
Red River is still falling rapidly
at this point.
Flag of truce boat, Gem. Hodges,
left this port yesterday for the mouth
of Red River, object, further exchange
of prisoners.
We are indebted to some kind
friend for the loan of a large file of
late New Orleans papers.
The Mails between this place and
Houston are so irregular, that we
suggest to 3Mr. Starr that he throw,
at lepst, the glimmering of a sta,
light on the matter.
On last Monday morning a fire oc
curred in the Hospital on Milam
street. The promptness of the mili
tary and civilians prevented the
flames from spreading, and the tire
was soon extinguished without any
serious damage.
We are requested to say that Mr.
Anthony will deliver a Lecture on
Revelation, for the benefit of the
Soldiers' Home at Shreveport.
Judging from what we witnessed
last Monday night, the guard-house
at this Post must be a popular re
sort. Officers of all grades, citizens,
&c., (the latter includes editors) with
out passes, were politely invited to
call at the reci lnce of the officer
of the guard to partake of his hospi
tality. Having a previous engage
ment, it is more than probablethat we
the local, should not have accepted
the invitation, had It not been for
sundry individuals, " armed and
equipped as the law direct," who in
sisted that our presence was actually
necessary at the aforesaid residence.
Of course, then, we accepted the in
vitation, and were very politely es
corted to the scene of entertainment.
We will say nothing of what happen
ed afterwards, but would respectfully
suggest to our late host, that lhm- ex
tend to us no further courtcsies.
In this issue of our paper appe1arss
the name of our friend, Maj. S. 1). t Ul
liver, as a candidate for the office ,t
State Treasurer. The Major is well
and favorably known in this section.
and is in every respect worthy of tih
position.
The name of our friend Col. Ro,
Burke also appears. Both are triends
of ours, gentlemen, and fully capable.
It was rumored on the streets day
before yesterday, that a gentleman
just from Alexandria had seen the
N. O Bee of the 29th, which gave
an account of a great battle on the 1
23d, between Johnson and Sherman t
near Raleigh, in which the latter was
badly defeated. Yesterday we saw
a copy of the .N. O. Times of the
29th, but nothing was said in regard
to the reported battle of the 23d. It
looks to us like another false alarm.
We are indebted to Lieut. Mc
Cutcheon for full files of late late pa
pers, for which he will please accept t
our thanks. a

d those who place tilt' most implicit
11 confidence in every retport which \we

reliable shape, it 's entittld to con
fidence. We do not believe that the
tr final shock between Jollnston and
