DES ARC CITIZEnT
J. O. MORRILL, EDITOR.
DES ARC, ARKANSAS:
WEDNESDAY"..JULY 27,1859.
To the Pateors op the Citixer.—
We are not in the habit of making apolo
gies, but the meagre appearance of our
editorial columns during the past two
months, perhaps, requires an explanation.
The hand of affliction is upon us. We
have been confined to our bed at least
half of the past two months, and from
present indications long months must yet
elapse before we can regain that health
and vigor which it has been our good for
tune to enjoy, until recently, thus far
through life. We have concluded that
justice to ourself and family requires'that
we should seek rest and retirement, as the
Only sore means of restoration to health, j
This rest we cannot find and conduct a
newspaper. For near five years we have
toiled unceasingly, both day and night, to
build up an establishment that would sup
port ourself and family, and at the same
time defend the interests and rights of
those amongst whom our lot had been
cast. We have no reason to complain so
far as our business is concerned—we have
Hot gtr>wn rich—but have been enabled to
“ airman lood and raiment for those for
whom it is our duty to provide.
Justice to all demands, therefore, that
>w» should oiler the M Citizen Office” for
sale, and in our next issue we shall make
known terms, &c.
.» tOT Thers is a considerable amount
dm us for subscription, advertising, Job
Work, &c. In a few days we shall for*
Ward eadh delinquent his account. We
nepd every dollar, and trust that our
Ajeada will pay us promptly, for now is
truly our time of need.

the nomination for President of the United
States, at the coming election of 1860:

Affairs in Utah.—The news from
thia Territory is still of the same tenor. It
it impossible to bring to justice the authors
of the Mountain Meadows massacre—the
mast terrible butchery in these latter days,
without doubt, perpetrated by Mormons,
led by those high in clerical authority.
Between the army and the Governor there
is distrust, and almost open hostility be
tween the jailer and the Supreme Judge.
Conflicts of jurisdiction constantly occur,
threatening a papular outburst; while no
Gentila is safe who is not protected by the
troops of the United States.
Such, from the tenor of private corres
pondence, seems to be the condition of
affairs in Utah.—[Memphis Ledger.

Swamp Lands.—The Commissioner of
the General Land Office yesterday trans
mitted to the Governor of Arkansas two
patents—Nos. 10 and 11—of swamp lauds
in the Little Rock district containing res
pectively 27,02781 and 8,051.55 acres.

Mode Wild Africans.—We heard a
gentleman who is “up to snuff” say yester
day, observes the Mobile Mercury of the
2d, that another cargo of Africans had
been landed upon our Gulf coast, within
jb few days, and that the captain of the
craft that brought them was in our city—
be had seen him and talked with him.—
We bear of another trafficker in human
flesh who is buying a gang of negroes in
Virginia. Horrible men!
—. -
The Napoleon Guns.—A letter de
scribing the battle of the Salferino, says:
The new artillery decided the day. Their
hollow balls can be found with complete
precision at two miles distant; fourteen
seconds is required to travel that distance,
when they strike they burst with frightful
effect. This artillery completely demoraliz
ed the Austrians, and they profited by the
storm to retreat.
PLANTERS’ CONVENTION.
Mr. Morrill:—I have received the
following circular from Hon. Thomas J
Hudson, President of the Slate Agricul
tural Bureau of Mississippi, which I com
municate for insertion in the Citizen
It proposes to hold a “ Planters’ Conven
tion,” at Nashville, Tenn., on the 10th ol
October next. It is the wish of Mr. Hud
son that the attention of the press, through
out this State, be called to it. Mr. H
informs me that he has sent a copy of this
circular to his Excellency Gov. Conway
with the request that he should appoin
delegates to the proposed Convention. I
is to be hoped that our Governor will tala
some interest in the matter, and compl;
with Mr. H.’s request. There is little
doubt but that much good and a great dea
of useful information may be derivet
therefrom.
Yours,etc., J. E. Gatewood.
. Lamar, Miss., May, 1859.
Sin:—At a regular meeting of tht
‘ State Agricultural Bureau of Mississippi,
in Novembej last, a resolution was uuuni
mously adopted, requesting the under
signed to correspond with the Leads o
State Agricultural Associations in th
South, as to the benefits to be derived fron
holding annual “ Planters’ Conventions.
It is impossible in a communication lik<
this to enumerate the advantages to bede
rived from annual meetings of intelligen
representatives from the slave-producin|
States. At these conventions we cai
learn the efforts made annually to promot
the agricultural and mechanical interest
ui iuc uiuctcui uvaico, auu uic oui-tcM w
such efforts; determine what State legis
Iation is necessary to advance these inter
ests; the best manner of collecting an
publishing agricultural statistics, etc.
If you think the suggestion of holding
these conventions made by the State Bu
reau wise, will you take the necessar;
step to carry out the great object in view
and suggest the time and place of holding
the first meeting ?
Very respectfully,
Thomas J. Hudson,
President of the State Agr. Bureau of Miss
P. S. I would suggest Nashville, Tenn.
as the place, and the 10th of October nex
as the time of holding the first meeting.

Mississippi Democratic Conches
BioNAL Nominations.—The Democrali
Congressional nominations in Mississipp
present as firm a phalanx as the nominee
for State officers. Reuben Davis ha
been nominated in the 1st District; L. Q
C. Lamar in the 2nd ; Wm. Barksdalj
in the 3rd; O. R. Singleton in the 4th
and John J. McRae in the 5th. Speak
ing of Hon. J. J. McRae’s nomination
the New Orleans Crescent says:
The nomination was unanimous and b;
acclamation. This is a compliment o
which any man may well feel proud, es
pecially when a nomination is equivalen
to an election, as it is in the present case
Ex-Governor McRae entertains extremt
Southern views—denounces the laws
against the slave trade as uuconstitutiona
—and holds that the re-opening of lhai
trade would redound to the advantage of al!
the slaveholding communities. We pre
sume that Jie will be elected without oppo
sition. Consequently, an unanimous nom
ination and an unanimous re-election, will
show pretty conclusively that the people ol
his district coincide with him in opinion,
and heartily endorse his political views.

The Austrian Commander-In-Chief
A German correspondent, in stating tha
the Austrian Emperor has left Italy foi
Vienna, and that the chief command of th«
army of Italy has been conferred upor
Field Marshal Hess, remarks:
It is stated Hess has required to be full]
authorised to act entirely at his own dis
cretion. In order to cross the Mincio, the
French will have another battle to fight,
and perhaps more than one. If General
Hess is an able officer, as he has been
represented, he can prove it on the fifth
act of the Italian war, by an able defense
of the Mincio line. In all probability the
allies have the heaviest work still before
them.
Upward and Onward.—The Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicl^ays that Mr. Alexander
Stephens, in his great speech at that city,
on the 2nd inst., announced himself in
favor of the repeal of the laws against the
slave trade, and the revival of that trade;
aud also in favor of the repeal of the neu
trality laws, so far as relates to Spain.
These interesting subjects are enlisting
the thoughts of the ablest and wisest states
men in the world. We hope Mr. Ste
phens’s speech will be written out by him
telf, and published in full. Meantime we
nuat congratulate the repealers and the
slave-trade openers that their cause is on
ward and upward.
The London Time9, which, a month ago,
was a strong pro-Austrian organ, has now
veered entirely around, and appears to be as
strongly for the French and Italians in its
sympathies.
COTTON IS EXOLAHO. . '
We find in the Horticulturist the fol
lowing interesting statistics in regard to
th'is crop:
Cotton, as a raw material, admits of be
ing wrought into garments for the poor at
the low sum of twelve cents per pound
weight, whilst a single pound of long
staple cotton, with eighty-five cents, can
be made to furnish employment and.wages
to the extent of one thousand dollars for
the inch. The material for a full dress of
outer garments, if composed of wool, would
cost not less than eight dollars, while the
same quantity of material for cotton, and
of more durable quality, would be two
dollars to two dollars and a half. The
, laborer’s wife may purchase a neat and
. good cotton for eight cents per yard, mak
ing a dress for fifty-six cents.
The cheapness and utility of cotton have
I commanded for it a preference which is
I almost universal, not only for decorations
and clothing, but for book-binding, as a
substitute for leather, and for other pur
poses. The waste cotton made during the
process of manufacture, is wrought into
t coarse sheets and bed-covers, which are
i sold at from twelve to eighteen cents per
pound. The residue of the waste is used
for the manufacture of paper, the cleaner
[• portion being for writing paper, and the
sweepings from the floors of the factories
supply a large proportion of the paper
, milts of Lancashire with the raw material
, of the paper which is used for printing
' books and newspapers.
’ An advance of an English penny in the
r price of cotton, per pound, amounts to
' twenty millions of dollars a year. The
, present stock in Liverpool is only equal to
' the consumption of three weeks. That
j- trom i vinca last year would run me enure
English mills just oni; hour! The en
’ tire failure of a coti^V’^ep would entirely
j destroy^ and perhafrj^fr er, all the man
ufacturing prospers mjihte la nd possesses:
a reduction of the VHdii'om three to one
’ million of bales, vvoura reduce the mauu
’ facturing and trading classes to irretriev
' able ruin. Millions would be deprived of
| food, and, as a consequence, Great Britain
’ would be involved in a series of calami
ties, politically, socially, and commercially,
such as cannot be contemplated without
dismay.
* In view of this state of things, the
’ manufacturers have formed themselves in
to a Cotton Supply Association, for the
purpose of diflusing information on any
new project for the culture of cotton. But
. they have already ascertained that obsta
cles exist, local or political, which would
' render it inexpedient to raise the neces
1 sary capital for an investment. They are
i looking eagerly, anxiously, to Africa and
s India; in the former there can be no hopes
for immediate results. The remodification
of the government of India may possibly
' produce a change, and great efforts will
> now be made to do something practical in
■ the way of European settlers, tenure of
, land, improved modes of transit, and
bounties for encouragement.

1 Washington the Messiah of the
^ Jews.—Some weeks ago, a handbill, ad
' dressed to “The Sons of Abraham,” was
: posted in various parts of New York. It
purported to be written by a Jew, and
stated that eighteen centuries had elapsed
since Jerusalem was wrested from the
chosen people of God, since which time
cruel persecution has been the lot of the
Israelites; and yet the great Deliverer,
promised by the prophets, had not come.
In consequence of delay, many Jews bad
become infidels, and some had given their
faith to the crucified Nazarene. The ad
dress concludes by asking, “ Has the
Messiah come, or do we look for another ?”
In reference to this document, the Cincin
nati “ Israelite,” the organ of the Jewish
people in the West and South, makes the
following strange declaration:
“As regards the Messiah, we, in the
' United Stales, are satisfied with the Mes
siahship of Washington, just as the prophet
1 Isaiah was satisfied with the Messiahship
of Cyrus.”_^_
CERTAIN CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.
To the Editors or the Louisville
Journal: — Gentlemen: Will you be so
good as to publish the following sure
remedy for the “ hog cholera?”
Pulverize and mix well the following
ingredients: Four pounds of sulphur; four
pouuds of madder; two pounds of salt
petre ; two pounds of black antimony.
Give to each hog one table-spoonful twice
a day, night and morning, until cured.
As a preventive, give to each hog one
table-spoonful twice a week.
This remedy has been used extensively
in our neighWhood, and in nearly every
case it has effected a cure. As a preven
tive, we think it infallible.

The Women in the Austrian Army.
The London Times relates the following
incident, to show how the women were
separated from their lovers, when the
latter were going to join the army :
When the second battalion was about to
leave for Leoben, the men insisted that
the women who had been engaged as
sutlers, nurses, etc., should be allowed to
travel in the same carriage with them ;
but the officers strongly objected to the
proposed arrangement. At last it was
settled that the women should sit together
in one carriage, which was the last in the
train. The doors having been locked, :
and the usual screech given by the engine, ,
the train began'to move; but without the i
last car, which had been unhooked at the '
last moment, by one of the persons ap- *
pointed to superintend the departure of !
the volunteers. The women were very '
indignant at being left behind; but the 1
men proceeded on their journey in happy \
ignorance of their separation fjom their ,
lady loves.

8£S“The population of Lombardy and
Venice, which have been directly governed
by Austria, is about five millions. If the
Emperor Napoleon redeems his promise to
liberate them from the Austrian rule per
manently, he will have given freedom to
nearly twice as many people as were in
the United States at the time of the Rev
olutionary War.
IT There have been seven or eight deaths 1
from sun-strokes, in Memphis, Tenn., during
the late excessively hot weather.
The Final Result in Virginia.—
Full official returns make Letcher’s ma
jority 5,470. The Richmond Whig and
other kindred papers are still rejoicing,
and charge that Democracy is on the
wane in the Old Dominion, an emanci
pationist elected Governor, and tbe€tat«
semi-abolitionized.
Facts and figures put to flight all such
nonsense. Though Virginia has always
been true to Democracy, like the othei
States, her majorities have varied. In
1840, she gave Van Buren 13,92 majori
ty; in 1844, Polk 5,893; in 1848, Cass
1,473 ; in 1854, Johnson 6,859 ; in 1852,
Pierce 15,281 ; in 1855, Wise 9,921;
and in 1856, Buchanan 29,396. Consid
ering the extent to which the “ swapping"
system was carried, and the personal
contests in several districts, Letcher may
feel proud of bis majority, and the demo
cratic party sanguine of rolling up nol
less than 30,000 for the Charleston nomi
nee, in 1860.
John Letcher’s public record is a com
plete refutation of the charge of abolition
or emancipation.
The fact that Letcher received a ma
jority in the tenth congressional district, is
harped upon, and made the basis of the
charge that he owes his election to “ semi
abolition voles,” and but for his “ over
whelming gains” in this district, he would
have been defeated. Neither of these as
sertions are true. That district has al
ways been one of the staunchest demo
cratic districts in the State. It has never
swerved. It gave large majorities for Van
Buren, Polk, Cass, Johnson, Pierce, Wise,
and Buchanan. They have always elect
ed. true sonthern men to Congress from
that district, and, in 1851, gave a majori
ty ol 1,181 against txeorge vv. summers
for Governor, who had uttered abolition
sentiments, which he never retracted, that
would make Giddings blush. These facts
are sufficient to refute all assumptions ol
unsoundness on the slavery question, and
to show that, jn voting for Letcher, they
only followed their democratic instincts.
The charge that he made “ overwhelm
ing gains” in that district, is equally un
true. His majority is less than Buchanan’s
in that district, by 2,097; and 2,239 less
than Clemens’s, in 1857, when he had
opposition for Congress. His majority in
that district only exceeds Tucker’s about
140, who is regarded as one of the strong
est pro-slavery men in the State. Letch
er's loss in that district, compared with
Buchanan’s vote, was as great as his loss
in the fourth district, which is the largest
slave-holding district jn the State; and
greater than it was in the first, second,
third, seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh
districts. His loss in the counties and
districts west of the Blue Ridge moun
tains, compared with Buchanan’s vote,
was as great as his loss east of the moun
tains.
These are indisputable facts, and suffi
cient to satisfy eveiy unprejudiced mind
that emancipation or abolition had nothing
to do with this contest.

The New Cotton Crop.—The follow
ing estimates are copied from a corres
pondent of the New Orleans Picayune,
who writes from Montgomery, Alabama:
Estimating the last crop at 3,750,000
bales, what may we reasonably expect
the yield of the present one will be? Let
us add 400,000 bales for the 100,000
hands which have been brought South and
put to making cotton; then add three per
cent, to the natural increase, and deduct
five per cent, from the last crop, to give us
an average crop, (say, 3,573,500 bales;)
and we shall have “the following figures:
3,573,500, to which add 400,000, and
three per cent, more, 112,500—making
4,086,000 bales as the crop of the present
year. It is too early in the season to rely
upon this estimate, but I give the figures
as a reasonable approximation. Perhaps
some will think my estimate “ wild,” as
many regarded that which I made Iasi
season, of 3,700,000 bales; but I would
advise rny brother planters to buy their
bagging and rope at the present low
prices, and prepare m time for packing
their crop in cheap bagging, and not vvaii
and pay such prices as speculators may
choose to impose.

Eruption of Vesuvius.—Amidst the
excitement and the conflagration of war,
Vesuvius will urge its claims on public at
tention. Its forges are more active than
those of the nations which are now apply
ing the resources of science to the con
struction of weapons for human destruc
tion. The mountain beats them all; and
with the quiet assurance of undisputed
power, hourly it is laying waste the rich
lands growing with all the promise of
harvest. Any one who looks at it from
Naples, observes a large river of fire actu
ally flowing, but apparently arrested and
attached to the side of Vesuvius. Within
the last three months it has increased
wonderfully in proportion. It is no longer
a rill—it is a sheet of fire—it has risen
and overflowed its banks; and God help
the poor small proprietors who have in
vested their all in little portions of land
now incrusted with lava!
