rather a iWlous atralu,
according to hi*
a* he doe not conflict with
the Intartta of other*. Such being tb «ase, we
should like to know how th Legislature can override
the Couatitutlon, and prescribe to any dtlsen what
¡.e thall do awl what be shall not do with hi Own,
without establishing a precedent that would Aoá
lead ta a state of deepotlim, which we have been
now fighting ft* two ye m to get rid of. We think
tbe horror we read of In the North, should be •
sufficient answer to the "Item," what may mult
from the first tep toward setting aside the Consti-
tution and it guaranties. It wa upon this bread
ground th twe baaed our opposition to the cotton
bill from tbo flrst It teas wicntHvuUonal. As
violation of our molt sacred rlghta, we opposed It,
•nd also a a matter of expediency we oould see no
good to be derived from It. The termer wuo I pre-
vented from planting cotton, Is not going to plant
more corn In consequence. We cannot legislate
patriotism Into that man who does not believe In it,
any more than we can lelgslate Confederate money
Into gold or silver. Other States, which the " Item"
• havo passed, restriction-law must hoalder
own responsibilities. We are not to bo guided
by what other State* do, anymo -1 than tho editor of
the Item is to be guided by tu as to how he Ahull
make up his paper. Besides we are differently
situated from all other Otate . W have for onr
next door neighbor*, a nation with whom we are at
peace, and from whom we have been deriving moat of
our supplies slnoe tho war commenced, giving our
oottoo in exchaugo. It to our only dependence, with
whloh to purchuae arms and munitions of war, m
well as army and other supplies. Cutoff our supply
of cotton and what would become of us should the
war lo*t a year or two longer, or which there U now
every probability f W# will venture to ay the
paper the "Item" i# now printed on waa bought for
cotton. There Is hardly a single article that has beeij
Imported slnoe tho blockade waa established that
ho* not been bought with oótton, and yet forsooth
the Legislature must be sustained In trying to do
what other States have done, which have not an
outlet for * single balo. Apsrt from It unconsti-
tutionality, the cotton bill, had It become a law,
would have been a ourse to the country,; and though
we do sot assume to take any oredlt In having It
defeated, we olalm to heve furnished the means
through which the casttng vote whloh killed It In
the^Sepate, wKs obtained. j {, ^
Woju&y also here remark, In justice to those who
battled manfully *g lnst this measure for nearly two
weeks, that Senator Harcourt of Colorado contributed
largely towards keeping the bill from passing that
body. His manly, straightforward course in meet-
ing every issue that was made to engineer the bill
through, w a the theme of general admiration, and
to hi* effort* 1* the country mainly indebted for pro-
tracting the struggle till it was killed by the vete of
Mr. Jordan, who was Informed by F.vpreshow matters
etnod. If any oredlt 1 dun in obtaining Mr. Jordan1
.vote, the " Telegraph" I entitled to It, and It is only
to do Justice to other*,.whom we h*d overlooked-In
onr former jotlce of the bill, th*t we hav been in-
duoed to answer {he Item's inquiry, as we cannot
believe <mr friend Oeoruc is not a true and loyal eiti-
*en, who would maintain the Constitution and the

give* the following particular* of the attack on
Port Hudaon, and the repulu of the Federals:
The enemy with seven of their best bo*t* and six
mortar crafts, commenced a bombardment about 9
o'clock Saturday night, which was kept up, with Inces-
ant fury and vigor for four hours, when, with «even
vessel*, they attempted to force their way past our
batteries. The result was that the Hartford, the
Ping Ship of Rear Admiral Farragut, with the
Monongahela lashed to her side, were successful In
running the flery gauntlet The remainder of the
fleet did not faro *o wel}. The Mississippi waa en- ¡ ,¡
tlrely destroyed. She wa* a first olas slde-weéol
boat, mounting ten guns and 1,« a ton* burthen built '
at Philadelphia In 18í L The Richmond, another of
tho repulsed craft*, ha* been bsdly, damaged.—She is
a socond class screw voseel, mounting fourteen guns,
and 1,998 ton burthen. The entire fleet have left
for below. Our loss Is Inslgnllicant, being one killed
and eight wounded. The loss of the enemy l* placed
at over two hundred, this information being gained
from the prisoner* of the Mississippi.
The Hartford i* a second class screw vessel, four-
teen gun* and 1,990 tona. She and her contort, the
Monongahela. came up to the mouth of Red River
and remained there abont 28 hour , and have gone
above, the main objeot being to communlcnto with
their upper fleet. While at the mouth their work-
men were buey with the saw and hammer repairing
damage . " i
As regards the grand land attack on Port Hudson,
the army, beaded by Banks himself, c*me within
three mlleu of the place, and left la rather a speedy

Marshal, W. D. of Texas
th of our troops Is bettor than at anytime
since they have been stationed in Arkansas, and CoL
Bj reports them to be well satlsfled and In most ex-
cellent spirits. The great cry about the number of
our men going home without leave, seems to hav*
snbsided, and fVom the source we have received our
Information, we are satisfied great injustice has been
done our army. There were some five or six hundred
soldiers belonging to Arkansas who in passing
through the country where they liVed, were denltd
the pri vlleg* of going home to obtain clothing, .to,
and did leave without being fUrlOiiithed, but our In-
formant says the great body of them ■ were in their
plaoes again tn a few days. The number from Texas
who left w re comparatively few, and the rumors
we havo heard were predicated rather upon the fear*
of such desertions, than tbe reality,"
