DES ARC, ARKANSAS :
SATURDAY. ." ".JULY 20.1861.
(jy Brig. Gen* W. J. Hardee, of the Con
federate Army, and Adj’t Gen. E. Burgevin,
»f our State forces, arrived from Little Rock
on Wednesday, and left last evening on the
steamer Kanawha Valley.

The Chivalry of Faith.—The preach
ers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
are proverbial for their patriotic devotion to
the South and her institutions. We hear of
numbers of ministers of various denominations
volunteering their services, and taking their
places in the ranks. Revd’s. J. M. Bradley,
H. R. Withers, B. Abernathy and W. C. Hai
slip, of the Ouachita Conference in Arkansas,
are Captains of Companies,
While these men have stepped forward to
defend the right, w*e are pleased to hear
the clarion voice of those who remain at home
raised in behalf of our relations and friends
who have gone forth to battle against the
myrmidons of Lincoln.
On Sunday last, the Presiding Elder of this
District, Rev. J. B. Annis, preached a ser
mon that will long be remembered by those
who heard it. It was interspersed with sen
timents and comparisons suited to <four day
and generation.” In by-gone yean we have
read of the “Chivalrv of Faith.” and hphold
the tear trickle down the cheek of the listener
as the language of the jfreacher, warm and
glowing with sympathetic eloquence fell from
his lips, and ever and anon as the love of God
to man, and the “sure recompense of reward”
was demonstrated—we have beheld the feeling
of Hope and of Fear—of reward and punish
ment, as it was shadowed forth from each
countenance—but never do we recollect to
have seen an audience more completely under
the control of the speaker than on the above
occasion. He showed that the cause of the
South was that of right and justice between
nation and nation, and between man and man.
He demonstrated that
“God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.”
That under God we must “come off more than
conquerors.” He adverted, in the most feel
ing terms, to the many empty seats in the
bou3e, admonishing him that fathers, brothers,
relatives and friends had gone to fight the
battles of country. While the well filled
seats on the ladies side of the house told full
well that they trusted in the God of Hosts, and
that their prayers would arise “like a sweet
invocation,” for the safety of those dear ones
who have risked life, health and their all in
defence of the “imperial land of the South.”
We like that Faith that is full of Chivalry,
that preacher of truth who stimulates'his fel
low-citizens by both words and deeds in de
fending their soil against the tread of the
invaders heel.
“We want no coward,s in our band,
Who will their colors fly, *
But call for valiant hearted souls,
Who are not afraid to die.”
♦
Drowned.—We regret to learn that Dr W.
C. Lea, a member of the Rector Guards, was
drowned at Powhatan, a few days since. He
was bathing in Black River, and got into deep
water, and being a poor swimmer was drowned.
n»a. Drown aua Usd. ^Handler both came near
losing their lives in attempting to save their
drowning companion. Dr. Lea was a widower
and leaves a child, some eighteen months old,
at his father-in-law’s near Hickory Plain, in
this county.
A special dispatch to the Knoxville
Register, dated Lynchburg the 12th inst., says
that four Pennsylvania regiments, 4000 strong,
connected with Gen. Patterson’s command,
threw down (heir arms recently and re
fused to remain any longer in the service,
their term of enlistment having expired.
Also that strong persuasive appeals were made
to them to remain, which had no effect. They
5i'ere then told that the artillery would be
r urned upon them ; this, too, failed to have any
effect. The entire regiments returned home.

2^"Edward Everett delivered a speech on
the 4th of July, in the academy of music, New ;
York, on “the issues of the day.” He spoke i
of the justice of the cause of the North, and of 1
“the murderous and suicidal war” which the
South is waging. He took extreme republican .
coercion ground, and the word “compromise j
was almost sickening to him.” So says an .
exchange. s
--- 1
ent Gen. Wi«e.—We learn, says the Richmond e
rve Dispatch of the 9th, from a gentleman from
j)as Western Virginia, that General Wise is doing j
as much service in the West by his matchless e
inone*ot*uence 33 c°uld be accomplished by the (
iword. He is making speeches every day—
2? uch speeches as no one but Henry A. Wise f
Peai :an make, and Unpeople are flocking in mul- „
the titudcs to hear him. Really, he is one of the e
cxr most extraordinary men of Modern timaa. (j

The Attempt to Subjugate the South.
The Lincoln organs, great and small, all
over the North, and in our own State, Ken
tucky, says the Louisville Courier are con
tinually crying out that the people of the South
are divided, distracted, and only want the
presence of bayonets, and mercenary soldiers
to make them leap back with joy to the old
Union. The fact of a united South and a sep
aration from the North is never admitted to
their readers'. The powerful letter of Bishop
Otey, of Tennessee, has never been published
in their columns. We cannot forbear repub
lishing the following extract for the consider
ation of unconditional Union men:
Sir, I have been in this State forty years.—
The Indian boundary line, when I came to
Tennessee* was two hundred miles east of this
place. It is now twice that distance west—it
is now I know not where, I have travelled of
tener than I can count years of riiy life, all over
these southwestern States, from Fort Towson
to Tallahasse-from Virginia to Texas, and min
gled freely with the people, under all the ordi
nary circumstances of social intercourse. I have
had the best opportunities to know them inti
mately, and I think, I understand their charac
ter thoroughly. I tell you, in all the Sober
ness of truth, that wherever the invader shal
attempt to pass the borders of these States
with hostile intent, he will be met with a
living wall of men, with brave hearts and
hands armed for the strife of death, more
difficult to pass than breastworks frowning
with cannon and bristling with bayonets
more numerous than those which crowned
the ramparts of Burgos. Numbers may over
come and destroy these men, but, in my con
science I declare, I do not believe the united
strength of the North can compel them tc
submission, iou may kill them, but as Cam
brenne is reported to have replied, in behalf
of the Old Guard, to the demand for surrendei
on the bloody field of Waterloo, “they die
they never surrender!”
--
Gen. Patterson.—As this, gentleman oc
cupies a rather prominent position just now
in the federal army, the annexed extract froir
an article in the Wilmington (N. C.) Journa!
is interesting:
This rival of Napoleon is considerable on s
dress parade, but his health is so seriously af
fected at the approach of a buttle that he has
always found himself unable to participate ir
such amusements. It must be said of him
however, that he has a keen eye to the com
missariat. He is a good business man, and
made much money in Mexico, as follows:—
During the Mexican wai Gen. Patterson was
for a good while placed in command of the
flpniirfmpnt- nf frhp Rin r^ranHp. A o-rpat: rnarlo
improper persons from the states were smug
gling things into that department, selling them
to the troops, and probably also to the Mexi
cans. The General most virtuously prohibited
all this—he would have nothing of that kind
going on, so he issued an order prohibiting
any traders bringing any more goods in. The
point of the joke was that the house of which
the General was a partner had already got i:
all the goods they wanted, and, by the ordei
prohibiting any more coming in, of course
Patterson’s house had a monopoly, charged
their own prices, and made several hundred
thousand dollars; some put the profit by this
rather queer transaction at half a million.

w Hon. L. P. Walker, secretary of war:
has published a notice in the Richmond En
quirer, reqftesting newspaper correspondents
to be careful in avoiding all allusions to army
movements which might be useful to the ene
my, and consequently, prejudicial to our cause.
He says:
It must be obvious that statements of strength
or of weakness at any of the points in the vi
cinity of the enemey, when reproduced in the
north, as they would be in spite of ail the vig
ilance in our power, would warn them of dan
ger to themselves, or invite an attack upon us;
and, in like manner, any statements of the mag
nitude of batteries, of the quantity and qualify
of arms or of ammunition, or movements in
progress or in supposed contemplation, of the
condition of troops, of the commissariat, &c.,
might be fi aught with essential injury to the
service.
--
Declined the “Honor.”—The Baltimore
South of the 28th ult., says:
“This morning, Deputy Marshal Gilford
visited Fort McHenry, in response to a note
from Gen. Banks requesting his presence there.
The General opened their interview by obser
ving to the Deputy Marshal that as he de
signed being frank in a proposition he wished
to make, he desired a frank reply. He then
said to Mr. Gifford that he desired to commis
sion a reliable and efficient person as the head
of the Baltimore Police, and that if he would
ac.cept the position, and make himself subject
to the direction of the military authority, he
war nrenared to commission him at once. To
this the Deputy Marshall frankly replied with
an expletive—“Sir, the Government don’t pos
sess money enough to induce me to accept
such a place.” Gen. Banks here stated to
him that he had no further business with him,
and was about to retire, when the Deputy
Marshal asked permission to see Marshal
Kane, which request was refused, and the in
terview terminated.
Gen. Jackson’s Motto.—Those Tories
who are continually repeating the motto of
Old Hickory, tile Union must and shall be
preserved,” should not forget the words he
used on the same occasion. They are as fol
lows:
But the Constitution cannot be maintained
lor the Union preserved in opposition to pub
lic feeling, by the mere exertion of the coer
:ive powers confined to the General Govern
nent. The foundations must be laid in the
rffections of the people—in the security it
fives to life, liberty, character and property
n every quarter of the country, and in the
laterual attachment which the citizens of the
several States bear to one another as members
>f one political family, mutually contributing
o promote the happiness of each other.

General :—I have the honor to inform you,
that in obedience with your order, I started
at 11 o’clock a. m., to-day, with 4 companies
of Col. Churchill’s Regiment of Arkansas
Mounted Riflemen, and Capt. Carroll’s Com
pany of Arkansas State troops, to make an at
tack on some Federal troops, at Neosho, Mo.,
in conjunction with Col. Churchill, command
ing six companies of his regiment. We start
ed on different roads, which entered the town,
one from the west and the other from the
south, with an arrangement to makg the march
of 16 miles in four hours, and upon entering
the town to make a simultaneous attack. I
found that the distance was not so much as
stated. It would, therefore, be necessary for
me to have waited near the town an hour; and
fearing that information would be carried into
town, to the enemy, I dismounted the 4 com
panies of Churchill’s Regiment, about a quar
ter of a mile of the town, and marched them
by platoons at double quick time, within two
hundred yards of the Court House, where we
found a company 80 strong. I sent Capt. Car
roll, with his company, to make a detour, to
take them in the rear. After halting my com
, rnand, I sent Dr. Armstrong, (Volunteer Aid
de-camp) to demand a surrender of the forces.
I allowed them ten minutes to decide; at the
end of the time, the Captain in command,
made an unconditional surrender of the Com
pany, laying down their arms and side arms.
We took 100 rifle-’, with sabre bayonets, a
quantity of ammunition, and a train of seven
wagons loaded with provisions.
Col. Churchill came up in good time with
his command, and made an imposing sight with
his mounted riflemen. The officers and men
did everything in their power to make the
movements prompt as possible, and they
marched up to within a short distance of a foi ce
whose numbers were unknown, with a step as
regular and a front as unbroken as a body of
veterans.
I have the honor to be General.

Original Maker ok the Bowie Kntfe.—
Captain Rees Fitzpatrick, gunsmith, of Nat- j
chez. is the manufacturer of the first Bowie j
knife ever made. He was then resident in ■
Louisiana, and made the knife fnom a pat- |
tern furnished him by Col. James Bowie, the j
inventor, whose name this formidable weap
on will always bear.
The millions of knives bearing this name,
made in Sheffield and Birmingham, England,
have no affinity to the real Bowie knife, as
made by the original manufacturer, Fitzpat
rick. He makes his knife of elastic tempered
steel, and the knives have the spring and re
bound of a Damascus blade—while the En
glish knives are made so hard for the pur
pose of giving them the highest possible pol
ish, that they have no elasticity, and, in cut
ting, will break out huge gaps in the edge as
easily as pot metal.
Last week Mr. Fitzpatrick made a power
ful knife for Dr. L. P. Blackburn, precisely
after the original pattern of Col. Bowie, the
inventor. The blade weighed only one pound;
it was elastic enough to quiver at the touch,
and bore an unsurpassed edge, keen as the
lightning’s Hash. Dr. Blackburn intends to
exhibit the knife to the armorers of Louis
ville, as a pattern, and will induce them to
imitate its temper and perfection for State
defence.
Mr. Fitznatick is the first weanon artist
who placed the Bowie knife upon the rifle as j
a bayonet, after the pattern of Gen. Felix
Houston, a kindred spirit of the brave broth
ers; Bowie. He also made that gem of a
sword presented by the city of Natchez to
Gen. Quitman,-after his return from his Mex
ican triumphs ; and is now engaged on the i
order of Gov. Pettus in making the sword of
honor decreed to Col. Earl Van Dorn, by the
Legislature of Mississippi. This is to be a
fac simile of the Quitman sword.—[Natchez

The Disasters of War.—That able and
faithful friend of the South, the New York
Daily News, thus depicts the condition of af- (
fairs in the North ;
l
Now that the separation has come, with a ,
war party installed in power, what do we be- j
hold? Ruin and bankruptcy are staring al-1
most every business man at the north, in the j
face. Rents are tumbling down, stocks and ; <
mortgages are rapidly depreciating, banks are
tottering to their fall, and it is wTith the ut-1
most difficulty that men of moderate means ; 1
are enabled to obtain the necessaries of life j 1
for their families, while the laboring classes j

Officers’ messes in the field should nevei
consist of more than four persons—preferably
three. Large messes are inco«Venient.
Company officers should always mess to

pany is detached, no inconvenience will be ex
perienced. Each officer should provide him
self with an india rubber blanket or a piec
of tarred canvass to wrap around his beddinj
and keep off moisture. At least two servant
to a mess of four.
Articles required for a mess of four:
2 Champagne baskets, covered with coarsi
canvass, with two leather straps with buckles
4 Tin Plates.
4 Tin Cups, (in a nest.)
6 Bags, holding from half a gallon to oni
gallon each, with strings at the top to tie.—
These bags are for coffee, sugar, salt, etc.
1 Camp Kettle, large size.
1 Bake Oven.
