Music Teaching.—Mr. and Mrs. Adams,
having determined to remain at Des Arc for
a few months, if they can receive sufficient
encouragement, respectfully inform the public
that they are desirous of teaching instrumental
music of any any every description. From
a thorongh experience of the art of imparting
a knowledge of this science, they are desirous
of teaching either in classes or private fami
lies. For information as to terms, &c., apply
at the Des Arc Hotel. Pianos, and all other
musical instruments, tuned and repaired.
Arkansas Flour.—Messrs. Geo. B. Smith
& Co., proprietors of the “Arkansas Mills,”
Jacksonport, presented us, through Capt. Wm.
F. Young, of the steamer Sam Hale, with a
Suck ui lueu anjiciiui uuui. »» c nave uicu
it, and can testify that it is the finest flour we
have seen this fall. Success to the energy and
enterprise of these gentlemen. It is the duty
of the people of the White river valley to
eucourage every effort towards supplying them
with such an article of flour as these mills are
manufacturing. They are experienced millers,
and determined to kt-ep up their name for
“good flour and good weight.”
Thieves, Loafers, Gamblers, &c.—The
citizens of Napobmn and Jacksonport have
formed Vigilance Committees and driven from
their midst every thief, loafer and gambler.
Some half dozen of these “off-scourings of
creation” have been seen in Des Arc, and we
learn that not less than three of them intend
locating here. The close attention of the
special police, appointed during the Fair last
week, had the effect to intimidate these gentry,
and keep them in their proper place. We
have a class among us who it is known “fol
low no visible vocation” for a livelihood—
they live, nobody knows how—except that
now and then some one is fleeced at “a little
game,” and that Tom, Dick or Harry won
his money. These things are all wrong, and
a stop should be put to all such operations.
Men who do not earn a livelihood by some
visible calling should be avoided and eschewed
by the working and business men of a com
munity. Thus far, until recently, Des Arc
has been, comparatively, free from this class,
and exertions should be used to keep the fair
fame of our town untarnished by the blasting
and destroying influence of the thief, loafer
and professional gambler.

INSURRECTION A T HAR PER'S I
F E R R Y!
GREAT EXCITEMENT!!
Fifleen of tiie Insurrectiouiais
Killed.
Baltimore, October 17.—The United States
Arsenal at Harper’s Ferry has been seized, and
the trains on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
going east and west have been stopped by the
rioters^ The town is in possession of from six
to seven hundred whites and blacks. It was
first alleged that this was an Abolition move
ment; but it is now supposed to have origin
ated from the employers on the government
dam being cheated recently by an absconding
contractor, the rioters taking this mode of
getting their pay. by obtaining the money in
the government pay houses. The President i
has sent marines and troops from Washington
to force a passage of the railroad bridge at
Harper’s Ferry at all hazards.
The Governor of Viiginia has sent troops j
from Richmond, and troops from Baltimore
and Frederick also left for the scene of the
riot last eveniug
The authorities of Washington City and
Alexandria are alarmed, they fearing incur
sions of the rioters.
The telegraph wires were cut last night.
Washington, p. m.—A gentleman who has
just arrived from Frederick thinks the negroes
in the mob arc participants only by compul
sion.
Baltimore, Oct. 18. — At three o’clock this
morning Harper’s ferry was taken possession
of by military companies from Charlestown ,
and Shepardstown, Virginia, and Frederick, i
Maryland. The insurrectionists are entrench- ;
ed in the armory, and hold Messrs. Washing- ,
ton and Lapufald prisoners. The insurrec
tionists are commanded by Brown of Kansas i
notoriety; they originally numbered seventeen (
whites and five negroes, several of whom have j
been shot. Two men of the Martinsburg com- i
pany were killed while charging on'the ar- )
rnory. i
A portion of the insurrectionists have left \
Harper’s Ferry under the command of a man i
named Cook, who, with a large party of slaves, ,
is supposed to be moving towards Pennsylvania. (
Allen Evans, of Connecticut, one of the in- [
surrectiomsts, is mortally wounded and is ex- c
pected to die. He says the whole scheme was i
gotten up by Brown, who represented that the i
negroes would rise by the thousands, and that £
Maryland and Virginia would be made free
States.
Mr. Fontaine Breckman, the railway agent,
was instantly killed by a shot fired from the
armory. 1
Three of the insurrectionists are lying dead
under the railway bridge.
Captain Cook is second in command of the
insurrectionists, and is said to be packed in a c
school house four miles distant from Harper’s k
Ferry with a large body of runaway slaves. 1
The armory was taken possession of about <
nine o’clock on Sunday night, and so quietly f
was it done that the citizens knew nothing of 1
it until the trains were stopped. a
Col. Lee thinks that the number of troops '
at Harper’s Ferry is sufficient to capture the f
insurrectionists. L
Brown rented a farm four miles from Har- a
per’s Ferry, which has been the rendezvous of
the insurrectionists. Capt. Cook lives in the s
vicinity, and formerly taught school. All the 1
other whites are unknown, but it is supposed '
they were connected with Brown in Kansas. c
It is reported, but!he report needs confirma
tion, that the insurrectionists have carried oil' j
a considerable amount of the Government 1
funds.
Brown claims easy terms of capitulation, as '
he did not pillage the town or insult females.
The conflict on the railroad bridge was 0
mainly between the railway tunnagc men from v
Martinsburg and the insurrectionists. Evans d
Dorsey, a railway conductor, was killed, and _
two men, named Bowman and Hallett, were *
wounded.
It is supposed that the insurrectionists will c
be tried under martial law, and hung on the 1
spot. F
A special report from the editor of the Bal- a
tiinore American, dated six o’clock, a. m., 1
says: Preparations are being made for an at
tack on the armory. Soldiers are posted all
around the grounds. f
The insurrectionists have the following per- p
sons in custody: Arnustad Ball, draughtsman j f
Benj. Mills, master; John P. Dangerfield, pay- p
master of the armory, and Clark Lewis.
A negro man named Lewis Leacy has just
lied. He confessed the plot was concocted by
Brown, at a fair held in Ohio two months [
since.
The insurrectionists sent a flag of truce, say- v
ing if they were not protected by the soldiers g
they would hang the persons they held pris
oners. €
LATER. ]
Harper’s Ferry, 8 a. m.—The armory has
just been stormed and taken, after a determined C
resistance. During the attack three of the
marines were killed. The insurrectionists
were brought out amid the most intense excite- (
ment. Many of the armed militia are trying j
to get an opportunity to shoot them.
Capt. Brown and son were shot. The latter c
is dead, and the former is dying. He says he
is the Ossawattamie Brown, and whose whole
object w-as to free the slaves, and justifies his
actions. He declares that none were engaged ‘
in the plot but those who accompanied him. (
Baltimore, Oct. 18, m.—The most intense .
excitement prevails. 1
Gen. Stuard, through Gov. Wise, has com
municated an order to Gen. J. W. Watkins, of (
this city, to equip and mount immediately a
body of men for service in the mountains near I
Harper’s Ferry, where many of the insurrec
tionists have taken refuge. The troops are to
leave this afternoon.
Gov. Wise left this morning for the scene of j
There are artillery companies trom Fort
Munroe arrived in this city this morning.
1'hey are qnartered at Fort McHenry, await
ing orders.
Harper’s Ferry, 12 M.—There were only ,
wo of the insurrectionists who were not
nounted. Their names are Edwin Coppich,
white, and Chills Green, a negro, both of
Iowa. The party originally consisted of 22 -
jersons, whereof 15 have been killed, and 2 ]
nortally wounded
On Monday morning, soon after the assault
jn the armory, firing took place from the hills
situated on the Maryland side, it was supposed
o be Capt. Cook’s parting salute. The fire c
was returned, but it was too far distant for it 1
:o be effective. Companies of volunteers have s
jone in pursuit of the fugitives. It is esti- &
Rated that one thousand armed men are con- ]
'regateu here. Reinforcements are pouring in
:rom all directions. p
Harper’s Ferry, 1:30 p. iu.—The secretary
>f war has telegraphed to Col. Lee that ills- *
■rict Attorney Oulu would forthwith proceed
igaiust the prisoners. A train is getting ready [
,o convey heroes and men to pursue the fugi
:ives into any State or locality, by order of
he President, at the request of Gov. Wise. *
Due of the insurrectionists, who was killed
lad in his pocket a captain’s commission, /
which read as follows : *• Capt. F. II. Leeman,
:rom the Provincial Government, dated Uoto
ler 5, 1859. S'gned, \Y.*W. Brown, Com- J
mander-in-Chief.” (
Washington, October 18, p. m.—Six com
panies of the Virginia Militia in this city ^
this evening enroute for Harpers Ferry, but i
their orders have been countermanded and <
they return home to-night. This is an indica
tion of the thorough defeat of the insurrec
tionists.

rTIhe undersigned having procured the oxclu
_L sive right of manufacturing, a ml selling to
.he citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
late improvement in plows, (known as Har
ris’ twelve pointed shovol and turning plow,)
would inform the planters of said county that
le is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
which will be done in regular turn, notifying
;h»person ordering,as soon as ready.
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
rut was gotten up in the South by an expo
•ienced workman, on scientific principles, to 1
suit the wants of the cotton growing commu
lity,-anil five minutes examination will satisfy
,he most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,,
ind in the end, the cheapest plow ever of
’ered.
They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
:ounty, under the superintendence of an ex
perienced workman and no means or time will
pe spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
o the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ng to the shop, time saved in changing plows
ind the smith’s bill. In this you have four
iistinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either,) which yon can change at
pleasure on any part of your farm, no other
;ool being required hut your clevis pin; first,
fou have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
lary purposes of that tool, by adding "(Sue
nould, either right or left, you have a good
;urning half shovel for ridging and hilling and
place a cutter before Hand you have an excel
ent new-ground plow: in the third place, put
pn both moulds and you have a largo shove),
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
>f cotton rows: and fourth, by reversing the (
noulds of the large shovel, you have 7? good
:otton sweep, all four working better than you
:an get any common smith to make of wrought
ron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought
ilow steel,) five extra points and eleven extra
hurpenings. over other plows, which is said,
iy some of the most prominent planters in
iforth Mississippi, to bo sufficient for five
Tops; and all this for $0 50-100, without
utter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
hose are shop prices. I will send them to
Jrownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
or $3 per lot or to Dos Arc, at $0 per lot.
IBS?" Terms invariably cash on delivery of
he plow. C. A. HARRIS. i
