' SHALL WE REGISTER ?
Ah the time for the registration of
voters approaches, it is but natural that
we should ask ourselves who shall do
thin thing. We believe that every man
who ran, should register; should claim
Ids right to a voice iu (tie government
of his State and his country*. It is right
that majority* should rule, and that tlie
people of a State should regulate tlie
laws of the State. In order that the
State government l>e administered by
tlie choice of (lie people of tlie State, it i
le neeessarv that they* qualify them-;
Helves for that influence, which, as
voters, they have in its control. It is
not just, nor is it to the interest of any
part of the country, that a few men j
should control its government, or reg- i
tllate its laws. We have in Arkansas a
sufficient number of loy al men, who are j
citizens of tlie State, and whose interest
is in the State, vho are, by the pro- j
visions of the hill, entitled to register, j
to control its government and make it 1
for the interest of its citizens. We
should register in every precinct and
every county. in order to protect our- ]
selves against the odious laws that will
otherwise be forced upon ns. if a few
men he allowed to control the interests
of tlie many.
RAISE*CORN.
Throughout the whole Southern coun
try there is .an almost universal erv of.
want—want, too. just what all might
have in abundance. If the teachings of
experience were heeded—w ant Cohn !
The farmers of the South have given
too much attention to cotton. They
have allowed judgment to be blinded ; |
have neglected to provide for their own
household, and consequently have suf
fered. They raise cotton : its price is
regulated by the manufacturer. They
buy corn and meat, the price of which
is also regulated by the merchant and
not the consumer, lienee, as long n>
the planter continue* to raise cotton so .
exclusively, he makes himself the most j
dependent of all classes of individuals. ,
There is but one course for the farmer .
to pursue, if he would he independent
and live with himself—that is, discard
tlie ideii that to raise cotton is policy, j
plant his broad acres in corn. and.
making liis own bread, fattening and
slaughtering bis own meat, lie will soon
find himself independent of that class
that thrive at his expense. I four farm
ers would adopt this course, tlie cry for
bread would be bushed, and prosperity
*od success would more abundantly i
crown their efforts.
COPY.
Otir Cru is at our heels crying for
copy. We have searched our ex
changes, but in vain. We can find
nothing that would adorn tlie column-'
belonging to scissors, and our only
hope is to write it up. Hut what shall
we write about ? A brace of citizens
near us are discussing the school ques
tion—how a bouse shall be built, and
the poor educated. Upon this subject
we might write a loader, but who would
hear us? Our community seem to be
long to that class who ‘'have ears and
hear not, have eyes and see not.” We
have written upon this subject arid
have spoken upon it, but no good is yet
accomplished. Unless there be harmo
ny of action in this matter, nought will
be done, and the labor of the few go
unrewarded. Our paper is pledged to
the support of all systems of improve
ment that tend to the good of our town
and county : hut the disposition to im
prove is so stagnant, that we have no
field in which to work. We are tired
of political strife and discussion, and
so, we judge, are our readers. We
might say something of the importance
and necessity of our District Court, but
the people, we believe, in most parts of
the comity, understand this. We have
labored to make our paper interesting,
and our efforts, we feel, are appre
ciated; but this time, if our columns
are not filled to the expectation of all,
kind reader do not blame the editor,
whose ears cateli the cry, “morecopy."

Mr. Davis Refuses to Apply for

Paul Hagley. formerly n missionary

Monroe on the t'.ltli instant, and spent
Saturday and Sunday in eonversation
with Mr. Davis. The object ot'his vis
it was to induce Mr. Davis to apply to
the President for a pardon, in the ob
taining of which lie offered Mr. Davis
his services. Mr. Hagley believed that
if a regular application should be made
by Mr Davis, lie could support it with
a petition presenting such an array of

however, declined accepting the propo

was a confession of guilt, and such an

stand was close at hand. Mr. Hagley,
nothing daunted with the i!I-suecc-s lie

here to-day, and this afternoon called
tin the President to ascertain whether
a pardon would be granted toJctferson
Davis without an application if peti

character. It is understood that Mr.

been guided by an inflexible rule—not
to grant a pardon on petition, unless
such petitions were accompanied by an
application from the individual seeking

give him an opportunity to unbosom
