BES ARC, ARK ANSAS, MAY > >. Ivflfi.
Now that everything pertaining to busi
ness seems to be at a stand still, it is fitting
for us to examine closely iutoour condition,
and inquire what is to become of us? what
promises does the future bold out for us?
Surely it is folly to think of the' olden
time, and sigh for its return. Our situa
tion is changed, and circumstances differ
ent ; and with this change comes new re
sponsibilitics, the necessity for a different
rule of government. We, of Arkansas,
nave much to do within the next few
months, our position is to bo taken, our
relations are yet to be established with the*
general government, our destiny is to take
shape from our own actions; in short, the
foundation is to be lain, for that greatness,
the elements of which wc possess in so re
markable a degree. Of all that number of
States over which ‘war’ reigned with such
unabated fury for four years, Arkansas
most easily can erase the marks of destruc
tion, not that she suffered less, but that
sho possessed more vitality with which to
Withstand the shock. Her resources were
undeveloped, hence could not be destroyed.
Her riches hidden within her own bowels,
she possesses them yet; and, just in pro
portion to the energy of her citizens, will
she by them be benefited. • Her slaves are
gone, but they carried not with them the
rich and fertile soil, that is over ready to
yield abundant fruit to honest industry.
The cotton fields look as well, and promise
as much to the skillful hand of the white
laborer, who must now cultivate them, as
they did in bygone years. Truly, it may
be said, old things have passed away and
all things have become new The slave
holder that once cultivated his thousand
acres, must now confine himself to hun
<ireas ) due uiiuui iihj now uruur, uy me as
sistance of agricultural science, hundreds
may yield the profits of thousands. White j
labor must he encouraged, and with it
must como that contracted system of fann
ing, that has made the Eastern Farmer so
successful. Following white emigration,
comes the necessity of education, and with
it that system of internal improvement,
that ever marks an intelligent people, alive
to their own interest. As improvement
marches onward, necessities increase. Im
prove the soil, make it to bring forth its
fruit, and markets must be established for
its consumption. Build up your towns for
markets, and there must ho railroads by
the assistance of which the rich yieldings
of the soil may be made to benefit alikeu
him that giveth and him that recervoth.
Let us, therefore, with all the energy that
in us is, bend ourselves to the good work
of improvement, build up our town, than
which none in the State has superior ad
vantages; encourage the railroads which
we so much need; invite emigration of all
orders and kind; and, when the old gar
ments are shaken off, when with the re
newal of business activity, we come forth
in the vitality and life of our new situa
tion, ours shall be a glorious destiny and
inviting future.
THE BILL 1(PLIUnTTHE PRESI
DENT'S POWER.
The following is from the special cor
respondent of the Memphis Argus, it
hears date, Washington, May 17th:
Senator Henderson’s bill, providing
limitations to me rresiacnts power oi
removal from office during the intervals
of Senatorial sessions, to day re lone I to
the Senate Committee on Judiciary Affairs.
The two presiding spirits of that committee
are Senator Trumbull, of Civil Rights Bill
notoriety, and Senator Captious Clarke,
of New Hampshire. To them all consti
tutional considerations, the fact that the
greatest statesmen who did most to establish
and lauueh forth this government, always
considered that this power, properly at
tached to the Executive, will fail to coun
terbalance the temptation of adding another
usurped power to the Congressional oli
garchy which they arc dertennined to
shape into the absolute ruler of a centralized
nation, republican to them only in name
and form. That the President is responsi
ble for the misdeeds of such men does not,
in their eyes, justyfy him in selecting who
he shall hold himself responsible for.
While on him they will willingly enough
saddle error and crime, they will take
from him the power of preventing either
or both by removal for incapacity or un
scrupulous ness. They will make him
work with their tools and abuse him lor
the unfitness to the work of the tools they
supply. Even now they try in conversation
to throw upon him the blame of the ras
calities of a flairs ofthe Freedsmen’s Bureau;
and in open Senate they villify him for
not permitting them to continue au institu
tion that in its very nature is a series of
temptation to thefts by offering opportunity:
an incentive to cruelty by the conferring of
< irresponsible powers, and an apple ot dis
cord by nursing natural antipathies and
ancient prejudicies. Mr. Henderson need
have no fears. The originator of the
vetoed Bureau bill will report favorable
on any usurpations of the President’s con
stitutional powers, and the Senate that
passed the Civil Rights bill will not hesitate
to make a law of it.

Tin: HEROES WHO SLEEP IN DEATH.
Mr. T. Or- Burk, during hits recent phi
sigma address in Oxford, Miss., thus spoke
of the gallant heroes ot the south who
sleep in death :
“The land Of the beautiful and Hie brave.
The patriot’s home, and the martyr’s grave.”
Our “sunny south” lias passed through
a struggle unparalleled in history. It lias
bathed its sacred soil, and crimsomed its
pellucid streams with the life blood of
hosts of its gallant sons; and we, to-dny
are called to witness the destruction, the
desolation, and the vacant chairs in almost
every household. And while sadly la
menting all these calamities, wo rejoice
that amid the mighty dead we. arc aide
to commemorate the lives of many, whose
chivalry and patriotism have established
the reputation and honor of the south on
such a firm rock, that time itself, cannot
efface it. I would shrink from the attempt
to picture the character of the bright stars,
which have been plucked from that galaxy
of heroes, that rivals the warriors of the
present or past age. Sidney Johnston,
“the martyr,” Jackson the ‘ hero of a
hundred battles,” and the names of a host
of others are indellibly impressed, and
.sicredly cherished in the heart of every
true southerner. Their monuments is in
the hearts of southerners more durable
than marble, more honorable than eulogi
um.
A sacred band they take their sleep to
gether, while the year comes with its .early
flowers to dock their graves, and ,gather
them again as winter flowers. Theirs is
no vulgar sepulchre, green sods are fill their
monuments, and yet it tells a nobler history
than pillared {dies, or the eternal pyramids
They need no statute or inscription to reveal
their greateness.
Ot all the fallen heroes of the south
none seem so affectionately remembered,
n.3 that undaunted hero, that true apostle
of freedom “Stonewall” Jackson; who
when his sword was temporaraily sheathed,
was imploring his Maker for strength to
vanquish his enemies in the next contest.
Well might it be said of bis chnractei :
“Tlic bravest nve tbe tentterest;
Tfio nvn flip tl-ivlntr ”
The nesting Place of Gen. Cleburne.
We take the following from a commu
nication to the Memphis Bulletin, thinking
that it will be of interest to all who hold
in kindly remembrance, Arkansas’ best
and noblest son:
T notice that the citizens of Helena ate
making efforts to remove the remains of
(Jen. Cleburne from their resting place in
Ashwood to Helena. An incident oc
curs to my memory, the publication of
which may change their purpose.
After our retreat from the battle of
Franklin, I met bishop Quintan], of this
lhoec.se, who was fresh from the butfclfield
in Tennessee. Knowing I was then a reg
ular correspondent of the Macon, (<>a.,)
Confederacy and the Mobile Advertiser
and Register, ho furnished rno many inci
dent* of (lie battles in which he had par
ticipated during the campaign. From his
memoranda 1 published in the Southern
Confederacy, Macon, (da , the fo'lowing:
On the day before the battle of Franklin,
(den. Cleburne and the 1 ishop, with a
small party of friends, were riding by
Ashwood, when the General, with a very
earnest air, remarked that if lie was killed
in battle, he would love to be buried in
that lovely spot, for it was one of the most
exquisitely beautiful, little church yards
he had ever seen.
After his death, his body with that of
G on. Strabland Col. Young were removed to
the common burying ground at Columbia.
When the Rev. Or. Quintard came to per
form the funeral service, he discovered
that the graves were dug very closely to
the place set apart for the burial of negroes.
With his heart almost breaking with grief,
and horrified at the surroundings of the
graves of the gallant and brave soldiers,
he sadly wept and sobbed through the ser
vice. The wish the General had expressed
a few days before came to liis memory and
prompted him to instant resolve A day
or two after, lie laboriously assisted with
his own hnnds to disinter the bodies anil
carried them to Ashwood. Thus, this
noble hearted gentleman, the sterling pa
triot and devoted Christian soldier, per
formed the last sad rites of burial to the
bravo general and his soldier comrades
lie laid him where the soldier, and perhaps
his last wish decide his inuiuerablo and
adoring friends to lot his ashos remain in
peace where they are now resting. A
monument could be erected there and at
Helena to his memory. I presume that
Bishop Charles T. Quintard, of Memphis
will take pleasure in giving the General’s
friends any farther information on the
subject.
SgyTho llcv. J W. ltodgers of St.
Lazarus church, Memphis, in a Whit Sun
day Pastoral, exhorts his brethren to re
peat every night and morning, the followr
ing prayer. Would that it could be re
peated by everj Christian in the land, for
which the great sufferer periled so much
*>0 God, tvhoso’mercies are everlasting,
and whose power is infinite look down
with pity and compassion upon thy servant
whom thou- hast laid in a place of darkness
and the deep. Give him always a sorrow
ful sense of his sins, and of thy fatherly
love and correction. Give to his judges
tenderness and compassion, and to him a
meek and forgiving spirit toward all those
who have confined him ; raise up friends
to pity and relieve him ; give him the con
tinual comfort of thy Holy Spirit and so
sanctify his afflictions that they may work
for him an eternal wreath of glory
through the merits and mediation of Jesus
Christ our Lord.”

Important to Tli M‘ who Entered'
Lauds During the War,
The following instructions, relative to
original entries made during the- war, un
der the Confederate States authority, has
recently been received from Judge Ed
monds, Commissioner of the General Land
office:
General Land Office, )
Washington, D. C.. May 8. j
Register and RJeeiccr,
Little Rock, Ark-:
Sir,—Referring to the lands sold by the
State during the war, you will be governed
us follows, viz : Where a party may apply
for a tract of land which you may find had
been sold understate adthority, and wihout
the sanction of the IT S. Government,you
will require him to file his written appli
cation, itith tender of purchase money,
and therupon notify the persons who may
represent the unrecognized sale under
State authority, that if within a reasonable
period, say thirty days’ notice, he claims
the preference right to purchaco such tract
under such sale by reason of his actual
entry and settlement on the premises, pur
suant to said sale, he must show the fact
by satisfactory testimony, the regular
applicant making the tender as aforesaid
to have notice of such hearing, and should
it appear that the party representing the
said sale is a bona fide actual settler, he
he allowed to pay up and enter the land,
otherwise you will recognize the said
applicant making the legal tender, and
carry the proceedings into an actual entry,
to be reported as in ordinary cases.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
J. M. Edmunds,
Corumisioucr.
The Meeting Between President
Davis and IIis Wipe.—The late meet
ing between Ex-President Davis and his
wife is described as a very tender and
affecting one, as was natural under the cir
cumstances of their protracted separation.
Despite the strong convictions and resolute
will of Mr. Davis, his social feelings are
as soft as a woman’s and his family affec
tions exceedingly ardent. It is a military
iyrant) wno piays ueroerus over mm
should set stranger eyes to witness their
emotions, by ordering an officer to remain
in the room. Perhaps there was great
danger tlmt Mrs. Davis would have spirited
1 her huSband away through some chink or
I cranny in the massive walls or grated
I windows of the casemate! It may have
j been neecessary to watch him very closely
; while there was such peril of rescue. It
i may have been very brutal! If it was
1 General Miles’habit to press as closely on
a line of battle in his front as be does
I upon a fragile captive in a massive prison
I guarded by soldiers in his cell and at bis
door, and garisoned by an army—then he
| is a braver man than wo have ever heard
j he was. He is certainly very stern and
j very vigilant where it is absurd and bar
j barous to bo so.
! EFFECT OF THE EUROPEAN WAR O',
AMERICAS SEVERITIES.
w ar in Europe, which will certainly involve
all central continental powers, is imminent.
Merchants and capitalists watch the progress
! of events with deep anxiety. Of the largo
amount, of United States bonds held in Europe,
probably not less than $200,000,000 are
distributed throughout Germany. Would
American securities held there necessarily
suffer '! The decline in home securities would
naturally induce many holders to sell them,
and invest the proceeds in some form of se
curity, the value of which is independent of
domestic disturbances. During the wars of
France, a larger amount of From li capital
sought investment in the United States than
at any other period; and soon after the
outbreak of hosti 111ics in the Southern States,
large amounts of capital were sent to Europe
for supposed safer employment, facts showing
the tendency of capital to seek foreign invest
ments pending a condition of war. (Should
the war between Austria and Prussia call
forth this usual tendency, the capitalists of
Germany, seeking a sound and stable
security into which they may change their
j investments, have at hand just what they
desire, in the Five-twenty Bonds. Hitherto,
; t hoy have shown a remarkable confidence in
| our securities. They have taken them in
| in preference to the bonds to their own gov
ernments ; which even in times of peace have
| been driven to negotiate their loans in Loudon
, or Paris. It would bo difficult to conceive
why in the prospects of a destructive war,
they should sell our securities to invest in
those of their own governments. It is true,
in time of war, there is always a class whose
! financial judgement is influenced by their
political zeal; and it is ijuite probable that
some German capitalists may be induced even
to sell out Five-twenties, and lake up national
securities; nor is it impossible that some
; hankers from motives of loyalty or political
advantage, may use Choir influence to induce
others to take that course. But the cases
in which citizens deliberately make a sacrifice
of capital, in order to lead to their government
are the rare exceptions ; the first instinct with
nine-tenths of the people being to insure
safety to their means during war. The
tendency of recent events in the United
•-tates is in favor uf increased confidence in
| our securities abroad. The premium on gold
lias materialy declined : a bill has passed
Congress authorizing tho funding of the short
term qblibatious of the Government, and the
adoption of measures looking to a resumption
! of specie payments.
In view of these considerations, it is not
easily seen why Five-twenties should be less
esteemed, in comparison with competing se
curities in Germany, than heretofore.
Such, substantially, are opinions enter
; tained by a leading writer upon American
finances. We present them for the considra
tions of our merchants—[Memphis Bulletin.
-A Mississippi planter writes that, most
of the planters in Tishimingo and the adja
cent counties are planting grain principally,
instead of their staple, cotton. Where their
crops formerly consisted of two-thirds cotton
and one-third breeds tuffs, there has been a
complete change, and they have instead two
thirds bread-stuffs and one-third cotton. The
reason of this is the scant supplies in the
country and the scarcity of labor. There is
but little stock, and no money to buy more
with, and if the stock was in*the country there
is uo feed for them. The corn crop is prom
ising and also the fruit.
