)9»To-day it to be enacted by the
people of these United States the
greatest political drama in which they
have probably ever participated. From
the lakes ef the north to the Gulf of
Mexico, the people from every city,
town, village and family are to-day to
eeal their political destiny, either for
peace end quiet or for misrule and
tyranny. Whether tbs great voice of
the American people will to-dav say
Seymour or Grant shall be president,
tt it of conrse impossible for ns to say,
bnt there certainly conld be no greater
difference in the administration of gov
ernment than would he made by these
two men. Differing at they do, the
one as an executive officer would be
all that tha other would not, hence if
the one it capacitated by principle and
disposition to administer government
wisely the other would do so unwise
ly. Believiug as we do that the pru
dence, honesty and wisdom of Horatio
Seymour is beyond dispute, and that
the party which he represents is im
measurably superior to that one to
which he is opposed, we cau do noth
ing lets than conclude that the election
of Grant will bring upon the country
nntold woe* and that iu him the Amer
ican people will be made to feel they
have a monarch instead of an executive
officer. These views we have enter
tained since the nominations for the
Presidency were made, nor have we
hesitated to advance them upou every
fitting occasion. We accepted Horatio
Seymour as our choice, and his princi
ples as our preference and for near
four months have been doing for him
and his election all that we could. In
this particular we may have fallen
short of onr duty. But we believe we
bave dealt honestly with the people,
and that onr readers will so judge us.
Coming as in Jhlt issue we do to some
of our readers in time perhaps to be
reached, we ask to be heard in behalf of
our party and candidate for the last
time. That the democratic party has
been active we admit, but they might
have been more so, it is not too lute
yet to accomplish something for our
party, uuneibiiu uur gu< t-i iiiijcmi.
Let every energy he bent and every
possible vote secnred for our candi
date* in order to defeat the purpose ot
radicalism in our midst. They are
wide awake, their energies are not
asleep and all that they can do will he
done. Already have they with impi
ous and unwarranted hands blotted
•at from the privilege of franchise
eleven counties in our State and strick
en hundreds from the rolls of registra
tion for no other purpose, than to se
cure the election of their candidate and
it is fair to conclude that this is being
done every where throughout the
whole south. We have no language
sufficient to condemn such villainy anJ
shall not attempt it. It ia our purpose
to call upon all democrat! that may be
reached by this number of our p.rper
in time to come out like men, vote like
men, work like men and if our oolors
go dowu (which Ood grant they may
not do) let us go dowu with them, be
lieving that the cause for which we
struggled was righteous and our war
fare honorable.
t9*We would like to know what
aenselcs* numbskull it was that made
such a muddle In last week’s White
River Journal, in attempting to com
ment on some editorial matter from
the Citizen. He mutt have seen a Eu
Elux, or been sitting up late of night*
listening to some old grandmothet ia
Africa telling her stock of ghost stories.
We are sure that if tome of the fun
loving youngsters of Devall'a Bluff
Will post a few of their number on the
river bank to prevent his jumping in
the stream, and rig up another of their
number with an old confederate wool
hat that ha* “gone to seed,” a loose fit
ting black bunting gown and trowsers,
mount him ou t long-eared mule, corn
stalk in hand, and let him dash dowu
upon the Journsl office one of these ;
moonlit nights, they will capture the :
unknown auimal. Many would like to
see him, measure his ears out of idle
curiosity, but would prefer to have
him stabled at some distance off where
bis braying* will not disturb the quiet
of gentlefolk*. Try it, boys, but don’t
let him jump in the river. One of the
same sort had to b« pulled otss here not
loaf alrtoe.

la order that we nijr in the next
two month* double our *ub*eripiiou
list*, and that tha new aubeertptions
may all expire at the same time, we
offer the CiTUxa from this time until
the 1st of January, 1870, at oar regular
rates, that I* t single ropy 92 60, ten
copies Ibr 990 00, twenty copies for
$30 00. The time is at hand when ev
ery man Is making bis arrangements
for a new year, and we wish to pre
sent the claims of the CiTtxax upon
the people of this and surrounding
counties, and ask them to assist us in
the work we have undertaken. The
country is now in a more prosperous
condition than at auy time sine* the
war, and we feel confident that the
people are more willing and better
able to give ua that help which will
enable ua go forward and publish a
much better paper in the future. At
the request of a large number of our
patron* we have commenced and will
continue the publication of the legal
advertisements the people are now
forced by an unjust law to give to a
designated Radical paper. This of it
self will make our paper well wortli
it* cost, as everyone in the least inter
ested in land matters will be benefltted
that much by being informed of what
is going on in three or more counties.
Our paper is being sent to quite a
large number for the campaign whose
time will soon expire, and we would
be glad to have them renew their sub
scriptions for the new year and do
what they can for ns in inducing their
neighbors to take it also. We are
confident that our present large circu
lation can be more than doubled with
in the next two month* if our friends
will assist ns in the work. Our list is
now increasing faster than at any pre
vious time, and with the inducements
we are offering to ctnb* we expect to
•well it beyond any former propor
tions. We aak our friends to go to
work at once and make up clubs in
everv neiirhhorhnoil and secure n home
paper a* cheap or cheaper than can be
had elsewhore. Remember that we
will famish the Citizen from this time
to the 1st of January, 1870, for
Single copiei. $ 2 iiO
Ten copies. 20 00
Twenty copiei. 30 00
And one copy extra for the person

in every neighborhood in Prairie.

what you can do for us between now

knowing that you nre assisting a home

Importing Rebels.—It is currently

porting rebel soldiers from Kentucky
into the Ohio river counties to carry
this Congressional District against

on the alert and for every rebel Ken

the onlv argument that these scoun

they deserve, if they thus attempt to

Stand by your colors, until tbr colors
fall. Stand to principle, stand to rights,
stand to the last hope, for the tide may
recede and leave you to enjoy the
privilege of escape. The radical mis
creants seek our blood, our degrada

generations. Bui let us hold Arkansas,
as the citadel of our local hopes. Let
us stand firm upon the last line held
out to us, and "die in the last ditch."
Then if necessary. let us rally, uud
drive every radical from our midst, and
make our little fortress a peaceable
place, waiting for an attack. Let Ar
kansas be firm and true, and <f the
United States should elect Grant and
Colfax, let her citizens be prepared to
meet the emergency. Let them in the
first place, elect their own represents
j tives, of true and loyal blood, to state
(offices, and then if swindled and de
I frauded as they have been, dive into
the anarchy which they are now ex
pecting. Go on as if you were inhabi

in Arkansas your friends. Trust no

despotism which may co'me, let us do
it like men, and anticipating their ne

and preserve, if possible, the last plank
between our feet and the deep dark
gulf of destruction, over which the de

that "the Democratic organs keep up their

LETTER FROM ATLANTA, ft A.
Atlanta, Oa., Get. 27,1863
Mina JBMni;
Believing that a few K»«a from tba old
•tamping ground of the glorious old 16tb
Arkansas would ba acceptable. 1 bare
eoneludtd t« writs, in the hope that it may
prove at least interesting to a few. This
place yon are well aware was almost totally
destroyed by Sherman preparatory to set
ting out on his march to the sea; yet
with the exception of e few blackened
chimneys that stand as menacing sentinels
••rer a down trod len people, all evidences
of that atrocity haTe been swept away by
(he hand of progress, and to day the place
is larger and more 6onrishing than at any
time since its foundation. Splendid build
ings hare arisen where once stood tbe
-‘pea-nut stand ’’ Rolling mills, machine
shops, paper mills, foundries, gas works,
breweries, banks, court house, capitol. de
pots, hotels, churches, in fact everything
that betokens life and spirit in a commu
nity is found here, liuainesa is fair, cot
ton coming in every day in quantities—
but not so large as formerly—the farmers
having arrived at the very sensible conclu
sion that the staple is no longer a -‘King”
for them. They raise everything necea
sary to live well and cheap, and as a con
sequence the few articles they are coin
polled to buy are sold at reaaouable prices,
and they are enabled to lay up a few dol
lars for use hereafter. Ou the outskirts
of the city remain (he works erected for
defense of place in July ’U4. Many fu
rni'iar spots are noticeable, and while look
ing around us memory recalls the dem
f ces of departed comrades who fell fight

be dearj tbe same feature marks the en

lieved only by cemeteries erected to the
mumfirtf nf tliitio arhil fall ill the* i'miiwd -
Ringgold, Dalton, Calhoun, Adairsville,
Kesacu, Marietta, and in fact all the places
lying on line ot our march are uothing
more than mere railroad stations—Carters
ville alone showing any signs of renewed
life Of (he political status of country lit
tle can be said us the sentiment is almost
altogether oneway—* Seymour and Blair"
will carry the state by twenty thousand at
least—for here everybody votes—the Leg
isluture is largely Democratic, at least suf
ficiently so to hold in check the Radical
Express Agent ‘ overnor foisted upon the
people by fraud and rascality. Large
bodies of troops are scattered throughout
the state to preserve order on election day.
and as uo thieving militia can be used for
partisan purposes, I think have (be best
foundation lor believing that the election
will be a fair expression of people's senti
incut. The soldiers are quiet and inter
fere with no one, aud being a source of
considerable revenue, besides preventing
any pretext for capital by radicals out ol
supposed outrages, Ac., so liberally niauu
litelured for northern consumption by
their newspaper correspondents. The
League is rather a diminutive affair and
lias but little effect on the ignorant ne
groes, who I am glad to say, manifest bui
little desire to become politicians. They
are orderly and unlike any other commu
nity in the South, seem desirous to pro
cure work which is faithfully performed
for small wuges. Among the seallawag
portion of community l notice a former
citixen of your place, who though a mem
ber of the 1st t'avalry, never gained any
credit for himself or command as a soldier
but invariably shirked duty when the
slightest opportunity offered itself; this
thiu^r, having the shape of a m m but the
soul of a ‘piss uut,’’ flourishes under the
scorn and contempt of every honest man
as T. Jeff Jobe, aud having tailed to secure
a more lucrative position for his perfidy
acts as Asst. Recording Scet’y for State
If..- i„.
1 do not think his services will he fully
appreciated by the ‘tru'y toil" carpel-bug
ger, as it is part of their creed to retain all
the offices and spoils arising therefrom, and
then should there he anything left to di
vide with the email fry. It paid the
radical party to buy Joe drown for fifteen
thousand dollars, hut 1 think it would be
a losing transaction to purchase such
creatures us this Jobe at fifteen eeuts per
head, to siy nothing of the forty ucres and
a mule so frc«ly promised other nigger*.

Pram the Louisville Courier, Oct. 21.]
Balaifsm«al ef the Louisville
umd PerllaK Carnal.
We have alrtadv mentioned the fact
that Brevet Major General G Weiiel has
eatabliahed hie headquarters in oar city,
and is vigorously pushing forward the
improvenienta of iha Tennessee river and
the enlargement of the Louisville and
Port laud canal.
The plan of General Wei tie!, which
was adopted by tlie fjovernnent, for the
improvement of the canal, provides for
the construction of a strong crib nod dam
across the crest of the rocks, st the head
of the falls, in front of this city, to raise ,
the low water murk three feet, and
another strong erib dam aoroes the head
of Falling /i’uu pool, to raise the low water
mark between it and the foot of tl e falls,
so much thst at no stage will there be less
than six feet of water between them
Both of these dams are to be provided
with Suitable sluices; the lower one will
have a sluice wav next to the Indiana
shore, two hundred licet wide, ill which
the water shall be confined hy a return of
the crib dam parallel to the Indiana shore.
This return will be 1,200 feet long, as the
fall produced by this dsm, in extreme
low stages of tho river, would be about
four feet. Boats could navigate up this
aluice iu the very lowest stages.
The upper dam improves. Grassy Flat
shoa s one of the worst obstructions in
low water between this city and Oincin
nati, while the lower dam improves the
river up to Big Eddy Neither will raise
the high water mark more than two
| inches.
The two dams will reduce the fall, in
extreme low stages, to twenty five feet
thus diminish ng the lilt of the locks by
one foot. It is estimated that the upper
dam will cost about seventy five thousand
dollars and the lower one about a handled
and seventy.five thousand dollars. Hie
upper dam saves three feet of solid rock
exc.»vatioii along the whole line of my
canal that could be built. This item, in
'he extension of the Louisville and Port
land canal, amounts to 8 '7U,OU0 The
lower dam saves, in the same work, all the
channel rock excavation below me locks,
amounting to $190,000 Thus deducting
the cost of these two dams from the
amount they save, there is a clear gain of
$235,500, on this route alone On the
Indiana side the gain will be much greater,
because on that side they make a route
which comes just below the falls, as suits
hie as the longest one. coming out at Fall
ing Run. The lower one. furthermore,
gives an unobstructed feiry com in union
tion all the yoar round between New
Albany and Portland, as well as the
Louisville, which will be a great benefit
to the intercourse between those points
The work of surveying the upper duiti
will be o .mpleted on Saturday, and the
lower dam will then be located During
this winter General YVeitxel proposes to
get all the materials in readinoss. so as to
give out the contracts next spring. Owing
to the high stage of tli< river for some
time past, the work of surveying the up
per darn has been delayed. The iuipor
tance of this great work cannot be oTer
estimated.
