Shall a Military Company be Organ
ized at Des Arc?—We invite a perusal of
the coinmmunication of “A Citizen” in to
day’s paper, in reference to the organization
of a military company. The suggestions are
worthy of attention, and we trust that imme
diate steps will be taken in reference to this
matter. The preliminary meeting, we learn,
will be held at J. E. Gatewood’s Law Office,
on Saturday night at 7\ o’clock. Come one !
Come all 1 especially the young men of Des

Des Arc Vigilance Committee.—This or

i hiding our town of “certain lewd fellows of

permitted to remain after being warned to
leave, but this was through a kindly feeling
on the part of our citizens generally. The
town has assumed its usual quiet, and our
whole people, with a few exceptions, ac
knowledge the efficacy of the movement.
The Committee, we learn, will keep up its or
ganization and hold regular meetings once a
week, for at least several months to come.
We are gratified to learn that no violence has
been committed upon any person, although
threats were made by a few of those who felt
that their lights had been circumscribed, as
they claimed that they could gamble, or disturb

Morocco, and taken refuge under the
British flag at Gibraltar. The Messenger
says “an event so unforseen and so ap
palling; a case'of such widely-spread dis
tress, augmenting everyday, demands not
.a-lona sympathy, but that we should at
once do our utmost to alleviate their
misery.” Considerable amounts have al

A Military Company.
Ebitor Des Arc Citiren :
SirIt may not be amiss to call the attention
of the citizens of Des Arc and vicinity, es
pecially the young gentlemen, to the proprie
ty, or importance of organizing a Military
Company.
It is useless to speak of the importance of
such an organization, we all know it. Recent
developments have fully portrayed to the
minds of every one the importance of such a
move.
The Governor of our State is the command
er-1 u-chief of the Militia of the State, and it
is his duty, when a Volunteer Company is or
ganized, with 64 men, with officers, to report
the same to him, who is in duty bound to
issue arms, such as may be demanded, or re
quired by the company, subject to the order
of the Governor when he may require their
services, or the arms.
I suggest that a meeting he held on Saturday
evening next, and a committee appointed to
enroll the necessary compliment of men, and
that they organize at ail early day.

Disarming of Colored Persons.—The
Port Tobacco (Md.) Times publishes an order
from Judge Crain, together with the concur
rence of the grand jury of Charles county,
withdrawing all licenses granting to the free
rolored persons the use of fire-arms, and also
authorizing the sheriff and constables to
search for and seize upon such arms, wherev
er found, and dispose of the same according
to law.
Itinerant Pedlars.—A bill has passed
ioth houses of the Georgia Legislature to
prevent itinerant peddling of every descrip
:ion in that State, except in certain articles of
Lome production and manufacture, and agri
lultural and mechanical implements, books
)y agents, under the direction of any confer
ence, synod, presbytery, association or con
vention.
Distribution of the Buchanan Poor
Fund.—Several years ago President Buchan
ui invested $l,0t0, the interest of which is
mnually disbursed in the purchase of fuel for
‘poor and indigent females” in Lancaster,
Penn. The annual distribution took place
recently, and the Lancaster papers report a
large number of worthy and deserving claiin
jnts.
-A resolution has been adopted by the
legislature of Texas to print five hundred cop

-The State of Mississippi has not yet
organized a regular system of popular educa

-An act for the further protection of
married women is before the general assem
bly of Missouri. It provides that all prop

band’s control.
Thk Line.—Mason and Dixon’s line is
generally considered the true boundary be
tween the North and South. The Richmond
Enquirer is of a different opinion. It says
that, “in the event of disunion, if we are
wary and prudent, the dividing line will run
a hundred and fifty miles north of Mason and
Dixon’s and of the Ohio.”
_The Town Council of Huntsville, Ada.,
have passed an ordinance expelling all free

Tiie System of Weichts and Meas
ures.—A proposition will be submitted at
the present session of Congress, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, to establish a uni
form system of weights and measures, on
the decimal principle. It comes from
New Hampshire, and is recommended by
the Legislature of that State. Congress
should do something toward establishing a
uniform system of weights and measures,
and the decimal system would be the
simplest and most convenient. Some ol
our State Legislatures have anticipated
Congress partially, and have adjusted
weights and measures of their own.
Pennsylvania, for instance, has adopted
the decimal principle in the ton weight,
making it consist in two thousand pounds.
In other weights the old avoirdupois sys
tem is the one acknowledged by her leg
islation. Some States make the ton con
sist of 2240 pounds, and the United
States ton is of the same number of
pounds. All this conflicting legislation
tends to embarrass the operations of busi
ness, and induce law suits. If Congress
were to adopt the decimal system through
out, as it has done in the currency, the
simplicity and convenience of the ar
rangement would soon induce every State
to conform to it, and introduce one uni
form system of weights and measures
throughout the country. Sir John Bow
ring, in a speech in England, stated that
600,000,000 of the human race employ
it, adding that there is no instance on
record of its ever having been abandoned
by any who have introduced it.
Thirty-Fifth Congress—First Session.
Washington. Dec. 30.—Senate.—Senator
Gwynn gave notice of his intention to intro

j Iverson gave notice of his intention to intro
duce a bill amending the act to establish a
i court of claims and changing the mode of ap
pointment of cadets. The appointment of
Senate committees was approved of by a
; strict party vote with the exception of Sena
tor Pugh, who voted in the negative. The
vote stood: 31 yeas to 19 nays. Senator Sli
dell introduced a bill for appropriations to fa
| cilitate the negotiation for the purchase of
j the island of Cuba, which was referred to the
' committee on Foreign Relations. Senator
] Kale Introduced a resolution instructing the
Post Office committee to Inquire into the feasi

which refer to the following subjects: The
administration of justice in criminal cases, ap
peals and writ of error, the supplying of cer
tain official vacancies, the laws concerning
seamen, and to amend the act which regulates
the carriage of steamship passengers.
House.—Mr. Davidson, in his speech to
day, said the South was determined to have
her rights protected in the common Territo
ries of the Union. He said he did not believe
in the doctrine of secession, but if such men
as John Brown were not stopped there would
be war between the North and the South.
Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, humorously asked
the Republicans whether they had not any
other member than Sherman who could fill the
chair—somebody who had not indorsed Help
er’s book. He advised the Democrats, South
Americans and conservatives to unite.
Mr. Etheridge asked, where will you get
votes enough?
Mr. Cobb—If you South Americans will
come over and help us, we think we can per
suade others. [Laughter.]
Mr. Etheridge said the South Americans
would not entertain such a proposition, unless
the Democrats could show an election could
be effected. He, personally, would vote for a
Democratic candidate in a certain contin
gency, viz: if his vote would elect him.
Mr. Boteler having withdrawn, John S.
Millson, Democrat, of Virginia, was nomina
ted amidst applause and cries of “vote,”
The seventeenth ballot was then taken,
which resulted as follows: Sherman, 100;
Millson, 93; Gilmer, 6; Etheridge, 7; Davis,
of Indiana, d; scattering, 7. The total vote
was 220.
Mr. Winslow desired another vote, and if
not effectual, he intended to offer a resolution
to have no further vote until the 6th of Janu
ary.
A desultory discussion of considerable
length then took place. The House adjourn
ed before doing anything further in the' mat
ter.
Washington, Dec. 23.—Senate.—The
Senate not in session to-day, having yesterday

Crawford, in reference to Helper’s “Impend
ing Crisis in the South,” the reopening of the
African slave-trade, servile insurrection in
the South, etc. The subjects were well dis
cussed, and qualified answers were given on
both sides. At the close of this discussion
another ballot was taken for Speaker, which
resulted as follows: 20th ballot—Sherman,
103; Millson, 27; Gilmer, 19; Bocock, 10;
scattering, 53. Total vote 212. Adjourned.

vote 208. Adjourned.
