npy The Baptists of Des Arc and the sur
rounding country, are requested to attend, on
the third Sabbath in July, at the Presbyterian
Church, to complete the organization of the
Oes Arc Baptist Church. It is hoped that the

J^An interesting “Letter from the
North,” over the signature of “Fuller,”
which we publish ou the first page of this

Masonic Celebration. — White River
: Lodge, No. 37, celebrated the anniversary of
Saint John the Baptist, on Friday last, in our
town, by a procession, a public installation of
officers, and an address by Rev. II. T. Weath
erly.
At night, the members of the Lodge, with
[their families, partook of a bountiful supper,
which was prepared for the occasion. We
were prevented, by sickness, from attending the
interesting ceremonies.
j0T We invite attention to N. H. Burk’s
advertisement. He has bought out H. P.
Vaughan, Esq., and will continue the manu
facture of tin and sheet-iron ware. He will
also keep on hand, for sale, a stock of stoves,
sheet-tron, wire, etc., at the old shop. Mr.
Burk is well known, both in town and coun
try, as an industrious and energetic mechanic.
“ Help those who help themselves” is a good
motto, especially when applied to the me
chanic arts.
Examination at Miss Black’s Female
School.—We regret our inability, in conse
quence of indisposition, and the illness of the
compositors in the Citizen office, to attend
the public exercises at this seminary, which
commenced yesterday. The recitations of the
young misses are spoken of as highly credita
ble performances, and justly flattering to the
talents and capacity of the excellent lady un
der whose tuition the fair pupils arc acquiring
a useful education. Let it be borne in mind,
by parents and others interested, that the pub
lic concert to be given by Miss Black’s musi
cal scholars, will takf^place to-night, at Wat
I kin - Chapel. A general attendance is sol:-j
I53T An interesting communication may be
found on tlie first page of our journal this week.
| consisting of the compositions of two young
ladies who are pupils in the Atlanta Female
School. The able productions were read by
their fair authors, at the late public examina
tion held at that school.
The Chops.—Throughout the White River
valley, and the adjacent country, we receive
most cheering accounts of the growing crops.
Prairie county, throughout, we learn, has
B never had so bright a prospect that the tiller
of the soil will be bountifully rewarded for
his labors. We have had fine rains—just
enough for the season.
Agricultural Barbecue. — We are in
formed that ample provision is in process of
preparation for this festival of the Prairie
County Agricultural Society, which is to take
place on the 9th of July. Several gentlemen
have been invited to deliver addresses on the
occasion—among them, Messrs. Gatewood,
Gantt, and Evans.
Death of Samuel M. McCurdy, Esq.—
It becomes our duty to announce, which we
I do with hearty regret, the sudden death of
; this gentleman, at his residence in Augusta,
■ Jackson county, on Friday night last.
gy We invite attention to the advertise
ment of “ Valuable Town Property for Sale,”
on the 30th of July. This property, both im
proved and unimproved, is among the best in
Des Arc.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
A public meeting was held at Walter’s Chap
el, in this county, on the 4t.h inst., to consider
ills propriety of celebrating the anniversary
>f our national independence, on the 4th of
luly next. A committee was appointed to so
icit subscriptions for the purpose of defraying
he expenses of such celebration. The meet
ing then adjourned to the 11th inst.
At the adjourned meeting it was resolved to
:elebrate the day, at or near Walter’s Chapel,
Jy a free barbecue.
Mr. Gantt, of Brownsville, was appointed
orator of the day ; and A. McNeill was se
lected to read the Declaration of Independence.
The citizens of -Prairie Co. generally were
I invited to attend ; and special invitations were
extended to the editors of the “ Brownsville
Echo” and of the “ Des Arc Citizen.”
We have to acknowledge the reception of
the invitation as above ; but we shall be unable
to partake of t he festivities of the occasion,
owing to protracted illness.
Literary Notice.—The Scient^ic
American.—The publishers of this widely
circulated and popular illustrated weekly jour
nal of mechanics and science, announce that
it will be enlarged on the first of July, and
otherwise greatly Improved, containing six
teen pages instead of eight, the present size,
which will make it the largest and cheapest
scientific journal in the world. It is the only
journal of its class that has ever succeeded in
this country, and maintains a character for
Authority in ail matters of mechanics, science
and the arts, which is not excelled by any
fother journal published in this country or in
Europe. Although the publishers will incur
|au increased expense of eight thousand dollars
!a year by this enlargement, they have deter
mined not to raise the price of subscription,
■. vlng upon their friends to indemnify them
n this increased expenditure, by a correspond
ing increase of subscribers.
.or Terms—Two dollars a year, or ten co
pies for fifteen dollars.

THE NATURALIZATION QUESTION.
i More or less of the opposition newspa
pers are endeavoring to excite feeling
against the President and Secretary of
Slate with reference to the answers that
are necessarily given by the latter to in
quiries whether American naturalization
papers will protect those holding them, if
returning to the territory of the government
under which they may have been born,
from being compelled to complete the term
of military service exacted by that govern
ment of all males bom its subjects; the
parly naturalized as a citizen of the United
States having left the jurisdiction of the
European government without fulfilling its
requirement in that particular. The an
swer returned to such enquires is, in sub
stance, that the United States has no pow
der under international law—the common
law of all nations—to compel a foreign gov
ernment to respect, within its own limits,
American readings of the rights of such
naturalized Americans, the correctness of
which is assented to by no other govern
ment than this. The American theory in
this matter, it will be remembered, differs
entirely from that of each and all the
governments of Europe, which do not ad
l mil the right of expatriation without the
consent of the government claiming the
allegiance.
It is to be regretted that the governments
of Europe are so far behind the liberalism
of ours in this particular; but such is the
fact, however—and it is necessarily to be
dealt with as a fact, over which the United
States have no control. For a quarter of
a century the United States have endeav
ored to induce Europe to accept their theory
upon naturalization as the correct one—as
the theory best suited to the present con
dition of the world; but as it conflicts with
principles on which almost all governments
but ours are founded—the principles of the
doctrine of the divine rights of rulers—so
far nn Arruarir.fln ndministrntmn lias had
success in this labor, though all of them
have, as before remarked, incidenlly press
ed the subject upon the attention first of
one European government and then of
another, on all occasions involving its con
sideration immediately or remotely.
The Kosta case was not one in point.
Austria made no claim to allegiance from
Kosta. Its purpose was to seize him, not
as an alleged Austrian subject on Austrian
soil, but as a foreigner found in the terri
tory of another government, who. in times
past, had committed political offences in
Austria; thus claiming a right for which
there is no shadow of warrant in the laws
of nations. The Secretary of State has
done well, indeed, in frankly notifying all
disposed to visit Europe at this time, who
might otherwise be victimized on arriving
there, that the laws of nations in their
cases are not such as to enable the Uni
ted Stares to guarantee to its naturalized
citizens exemption from military duty in
the service of the governments under
which they have been born, if returning
within their jurisdiction under the circum
stances named above.
