-To the Point.—Some spirited editor, who
jj| knows ‘"what’s what,” gets off the following.
| which is true from beginning to end:
All free and liberal institutions are essen
J tin 1 ly local—springing up over the whole face
of a" nation—invigorating ari l beautifying all
j the parts. Then all is healthy. An empire
w <-f freemen is made up of a multitude of com
I inanities—school districts—townships—coun
? ties—States—each free and having its own
K voice, and its own interests. The voice, '■pu
ll ken and these interests arc advocated by the
I local press—which flourishes indigenious in a
■ i epubltc, but it is impossible in a land of des
M potism. Let a free people once discard, or
H4'ease to support their home newspaper, and
■ take the tone of another comm .nity, and they
■ become annexed to that community ,and are
■-strangers to their own—its peculiar local feel
f§ ings, opinions, ami interests. Tlie local press
■ ,.. employ a considerable capital, and disburse
§m:amvng iheir neighbors some thousands of dol
p lars annually—keep a vigilant look-out after
■the interests, political, civil ami pecuniary.of
ttthe community they serve—are an important
■ record of particular local facts—render week
*j1y an account of the doings of the world. And
what do city weeklies give their country read
g®4-r> for their ready pay? Old stories, 9tale
city fashions with a hasty political ha-h
■ —the leavings of the daily papers from which
■tk-v are chiefly mad- up. G 'inline patriotism
I* ji alwavs local, and lives and moves and has
its being as near home as possible, and.looks
abroad for nothing which its own neighbor
hood can supply. V
' [From the Arkansas Baptist.
Des Arc in want of a Baptist Minister.
Dear Sir. — I have assumed the privilege of
addressing you to make known to you and the
Baptist Ministry generally, the condition of
tlie Baptist cause in this, the most nourishing
town in the State of Arkansas, and at tlie
same time begging your aid in establishing a
permanent minister in this place.
You are doubtless aware of tlie fact that
!tins place is growing: rapidly and nuinueis <h
present near one thousand souls. Many of
them members of the Baptist church who
have not heard a Baptist sermon within six
months.
This is certainly a most deplorable state or
rlTairs; more particularly for members of
the Baptist church, and should be remedied as
soon as possible.
It is true that the Baptist have no house of
'' - .hip, but in my opinion that could be
[provided very soon if the members of the
■church had any assurance that they would be
H s applied with a permanent minister who would
■ p '-ach for them regularly. These few sug
Bx-.-.tions are made by one who is not a mem*
Bb-r of any church, but writes for the benefit
Bor his friends and more particularly for his
Bown family and leaves it entirely optionary
■with yourself as regards the publishing of
■this article. Yours, Truly,
Res Arc, March, 1st, ’59.
[ (Remarks:—Res Arc is certainly one of
■til - most desirable places in the State, and has
■with,n its limits some choice Baptists. We
KVnow others also who have lately moved to
|Bthe vicinity of Des Arc, that will rank as
KiaptUt* anv where. Will not some minister
i.it them with a view to a permanent scttle
i aide John Jack
i»un or Dr. Bethel may be addressed on the
IKubjact.}

Another Battle between theU S. Troops,
i under Lt. Powell, and the Camanehes.
Five Camanehes Killed—One Soldier
Kilted and Two Wounded— Hurrah for
Ike Command at Fort At buckle ! !
We are permitted to make the following
extract of a letter, received on Sunday
morning, by the Overland Mail from Fort
Arbuckle, dated February 28,18fi9. The
account may be relied on as authentic.
“ Hurrah for the command at Fort Ar
buckle ! The first Camanehes who made
their appearance were caught and killed.
Lieut. Powell, while on scout with a de
tachment of the 1st. Cavalry and 1st. In
fantry, encountered a band of these fel
lows en route for Texas, and after a sharp
conflict killed five and chased the remain
der until further pursuit was useless. One
cavalry soldier was killed and two wound
ed', also two or three horses. Last night,
Muncrief’s were attacked by a small party
on foot, and to-day one half of the com
mand have gone in pursuit in different di
rections. Excitement runs high, and fam
ilies on the Reserve a^ecoiniug to the Post
for protection. The fight look place on
Thursday, February 24th.

Washington News.
Washington, March 14.—It is esti
mated that the present deficiency in the
Postoffice Department, amounts to at least
five millions. The Department is already
six months in arrears.
Governor Denver has resigned the
Commissionetship of Indian affairs.
General Shields has been ill for several
days past.
The report of the Board of army offi
cers recognizes the abandonment of the
most of the interior posts beyond the Wes
tern line of settlement.
Death of the Postmaster General.
Washington, Tuesday, March S.
Postmaster General Brown died this
morning at half-past nine o'clock. Up to
a quarter of an hour previous, he was
perfectly conscious of his condition, and
look leave of his family.
Last night the President had a final in
terview with him, and was affected to
tears.
During an occasional delirium, the dy
ing man called for the kill, evidently allu
ding to the defeated Appropriation bill,
having rtfereuce to the Postoffice De
partment.
His death occasions the utmost sorrow
among all classes of the community.

The Slave Trade.
The African slave trade question is
fast beginning to attract the attention of
our wisest statesmen. Several speecties
have been made upon the subject involved
in the re-opening of that trade in the Con
gress now in session, and from the bear
ing of them, we conclude that their au
thors know and appreciate the fact that
this question cannot be longer ignored or
poohed down as a thing of no moment.
Upon the motion of a Black-Republican
I member, offered in the popular branch of
Congress a few days since, denouncing
the alledged attempt to re-open the Afri
can slave trade, and pledging Congress
to stand by the President in the enforce
ment of the laws inhibiting said traffic,
every man repesenting a Southern consti
tuency with scarcely an exception, recor
ded his vote against its reception. This
vole is indicative of the lact that the South
is becoming restive under the re itrainls
placed upon her expansion by a Govern
ment inimical to her prosperity—that she
would willingly strike olT the shackle that
binds her limbs and prevent their free and
untrammelled growth.—[Vicksburg Sun.
Prescott.—The Boston Courier says:
Among all the expressions given to genur
til grief which the recent death of the his
torian has caused, the following has a
peculiar beauty ; it is from the remarks of
one who was connected with Mr. Prescott
by social bonds, and by the sympathies of
kindred pursuits. He speaks of one of
the few wishes made known by the dying
scholar:
“He d esired that, after death his re
mains might rest fora tune in the cherish
ed room where he had gathered together
•the intellectual treasures he so much ven
erated. His wish was full! led. lhere
he lay—it was only yesterday, sir—his
manly form neither wasted nor shrunk by
disease; the features which had expressed
and inspired so much love still l.ardly
touched by the effacing fingers ot death ;
there he lay. and the great lettered dead
of all ages and climes and countries, seemed
to look down upon him in their earthly and
passionless immortality, and claim that his
name should hereafter be imperishably
um'ed with theirs.”
What picture could be more expressive
than these few words ?
