•DJSS ARC, ARKANSAS:
teurlty Warning. J«l? W) IW?
reconstruction.
No folly h«e yet proven itself so great ,
an the efforts nmde by the radical party j
to reconstruct the Southern States. (
Reconstruct, according to the best au- i
thoiities, is to build up; and if their ,
object was realty what it purports to
be : if they desired to bring the coun
try back to its past position ; if prlnei- |
pic was the great controlling motive I
that moved in them the spring of ac
tion, this work w ould have been ac- j
complished ere this. Of what benefit
have been amnesty oaths? What is the j
true meaning of, or what is to he ac
complished by “an act for the more ef
ficient government of the rebel States.’ !
Do all these things tend to reconstruc- j
tion, or are they not each a blow to
cripple the South and bring her more
directly within the power of that party
whose sole object is individual gain
and party spleen. We were told at the
lime of surrender that we should be
protected, and honest men thought that
this meant peace. Other measures were !
adopted, and requirements made, til
of which we accepted in good faith,
but with no satisfactory results. Now
they come to us with oil upon their
tongues and tell us they mean well.
Brigadier Generals ore appointed to
rule over us to set aside law; to disre
gard the customs of the country—to
take from officers their rightful au
thority, making themselves dictators ;
all for what—“the more efficient gov
ernment of the rebel States.” llow
are the States better governed ; docs it
improve our government to tax us for
registration, and give us no guarantee
that it will in the least degree benefit
us. We agree with all that thorough
reconstruction is a consummation de
voutly to be wished for, but with us
the great enigma is how shall this be
reached. We are told to register, to
vote for convention to frame a State
constitution, accepting the constitu
tional amcudmcnt, and our State shall
be admitted into the Union! with ail
the privileges thereof, but we are not
of those who believe these things. If
the radical party would keep faith with
us and acknowledge and abide by the
great truth, that u majority in the State
shall rule the State, then might we have
some hope. A majority of the regis
tered voters in the State are certainly
anti-radical. These, if allowed to vote
for members of a convention, would
certainly elect such men as would re
flect their sentiments. A constitution
trained by such men, while in its gen
eral terms it accepted and acknowl
edged the situation, if it failed to sat
isfy the party in power, would be of
no avail i uud judging by the past, we
ask what benefit would accrue to us.
We arc not of those who oppose a con
vention, nor do we now advocate the
measure. We have hut to say with our
present blindness, regarding what the
radical party mean by reconstruction,
or what they intend to accomplish by
the measures now before the people,
it is premature to sny that acquieseuce
is for our good. We have waited and
watched for good to come out of evil,
and lost in fog as wc are, we must yet
wait for the dawn of the day, that we
may see to work.
Crops.—Notwithstanding the late
ness of the season, the extreme wet
weather and the many circumstances
that seemed to set in against tile farmer ;
the prospect for a good crop is very
flattering. Corn in this section and
elsewhere, so far as we can learn, is
looking very tine. In the older States
they anticipate a fine yield of corn;
while the wheat crop is better than was
expected by any in the earlier part of
the season. Of cotton wc can learn
but little ; the general opinion however
is the crop will be light.
We this week commence the
publication of a series of papers writ
i' ii ny non. u. it. urn, oi eteorgia, oil
the situation. They arc dear, calm and
conclusive, rccommcuding themselves
to every reader, lu these papers Mr.
Hill gives his views plainly ; discusses
the questions of interest to usinaufully
and with such ability as to make them
of great interest. They will be found
on the outside of our paper, where they
will continue to appear until the whole
series is completed.
“KNOCKINOUMDER.”
This is a kind of modern expression
or phrase, understood to mean that one
yields to another in something, or in
some way ; and by sonic, much import
ance is wont to be attached to “knock
ing under.” It is supposed to mean
something analogous, to yielding or
conceding a position in law, ethics,
principles, or habits. To illustrate.—
The South felt aggrieved by the policy
and practice of the North, and resolved
to break up the political eouneetiou or
association with the people of the
North, but the people of the North de
nied the people of the South the right
to sever their political connection w ith
the union of states, (so-called.) An is
sue was made, and the people South
and North agreed to arbitrate the mat
ter in issue, at the point of the bayonet
and sword, or by physical force; the
war came and lasted four years, when :
the South felt incompetent to continue
the struggle longer, and “knocked un
der" or yielded, stipulating in good
faith, to quit the war ansi return to the
pursuits of peace The North aecep ted
the terms oi the South, and agreed to
restive the people of the South back
into the Union, (so-called.) This is
one instance of knocking under,” as :
understood by that phrase or £erm.—
Again, one state:, his opinions or views
in theory or practice, touching morals,
modes of life, or agriculture, and an
other disagrees from the premises of
the former, and brash I y assumes other
and different grounds, and claims that
the former i* wrong, EaDic.rn.ir wrong,
itut becomes obstropolous unless the
>nc first staling his views “knocks un
ler" to him, or her, as the rase may be.
Mi is “knocking under" is too often
dainied on b|^e assertions—or in other
words, conclusions are too often the
results or fruits of prejudices hastily
nforoed—and is applicable in religious
matters, in politics, in morals, in modes
af life, and, in fact, in most business
pursuits. With such as enforce this
dogmatical style of arriving at conclu
sions, there is but seldom any hope of
improvement. Big l and little u, ore
their original theses or premises.—
Reader, if you have ever seen any of
this precocious development of the
modern school of philosophers, you
will understand (he ideas I ant aiming
to convey. But to those that have
never seen such modern prodigies, de
scription is like a becloitdkd star, and
we shrink from a task to which we are
so inadequate ; and like Pollock, would
say “let them remain forever nndc
scribcd.” For this is a brood tliat did
not tarry at .lericho till tlielr boards
grew. THETA.
Mexican Items.
We extract front Rio Grande papers
some additional particulars of the judi
cial bntchcry at Qucratcro, which wc
condense thus:
Miramon, at the time he was inform
ed of his sentence, smiled and said:
“This is nothing but the result of ten
years that I have been playing the
ieader.”
A correspondent says that both Es
cobedo and Trevino owed their lives
to Miramon and Mejia, and could have
saved those of the latter if they had
asked for it, but that they were the
most active in causing them to be shot.
Before being shot they embraced one
another. The emperor stood in the
middle, Miramon to his right and Me
to his left. A few moments before the
emperor was suffering from dysentery.
He walked to the platoon of sergena’ts
who were to shoot him, and gave to
each an ounce; then his last words
were, that he “hoped that his blood
would be fniitful for the Mexican peo
ple, but was convinced to the contrary.'
Miramon said that lie “was no traitor,
that those who had tried him were the
traitors.” Mejia was the only one who
did not say one word. They all died
bravely.
The ijultillo correspondent of the
Ranchcro gives the following addition
al items:
Upon the death of Maximilian being
known m (Jueratero ana Han Jans,
many ladies changed their attire into
mourning.
The body of the emperor was em
balmed, ami taken charge of by the
liaron dc Magnus, Prussian minister.
Maximilian, in liis will, leaves to tbe
families of the unfortunate Miramon
and Mejia one hundred thousand dol
lars each.
All the official accounts published
here in regard to the trial of Maximil
ian and his officers, goes to prove that
he was not tried, but murdered.
After the murder of Col. Maximo
Campos, tbe shooting of tbe brave
Mendez, tbe late shooting of Maximil
ian, Miramon and Mejia, they speak of
the great magnanimity of the govern
ment of Juarez, which lias now iu re
serve at Queratero, in the special charge
of Escobedo, forty-nine prisoners,
among whom are some of the most ca
pable and holiest civil and military
officers of the country. These forty
nine men will lie given a sham trial,
and all shot by twos and threes, to
| quench the bloody thirst of the Juarez
i government.
Mexico is taken ; and stilt the presi
dent will not go to the city until he
■ gets through with his wholesale mas
sacre of intelligence and courage, lie
| feels, aud that with just reason, that
i influences would be brought to bear
1 on him which would prevent hecatombs
of victims, coolv set aside for sacrifice,
from being executed. Ho you may, by
: every mail, expect to hear of the death
; of some good Mexican citizen—first at
1 tliis place, then those of the City of
Mexico!
Tile next on trial bciore Escobedo's
tribunal at Queretaro arc Col. Mariano
Montorde, Mariano lteyes, Don Juan
and others; all notables. Tbe next
news we will get is that they have been
executed.
If you but register the names of the
victims of political opinion iu this
! country, which flourishes under the
name of the republic of Mexico, you
, will always lie able to till a column of
; vour paper by every mail.
1 (tup-Tlic Washington Union cries out
I “shame, shame ?” at the fact that tbe
I negroes kept the while people of that
; city away l'roiu the poll on election
! day. Hut we think that the greatest
I shame is that the whites made any cf
I fort to vote with negroes. If there is
nothing better to be done, let tbe whites
give up voting altogether, until the ne
groes, white and black, have played
out men- revolution. i,ei tneni nave
all the rope at onee, and they will very
soon hang themselves. But in heaven's
nanio let us hear m inure ol' this whin
ing about negroes driving whites from
the polls. A white man who will be
drivon away front the polls by a negro
is more to be despised than C'tiffce him
self.
-The Press aud Times says: A
short time since a man named Frank
(low, Itniliug from Portland, Maine,
came to Nushville, aud engaged him
self us a journeyman gas titter on
Church street, near the postolfice. lie
also endeavored to be appointed en
gineer of the new tire engine, the Wm.
Stockcll. Failing iu the last scheme,
lie borrowed a diamond ring, worth
eight hundred dullnrs, from a friend,
to show off at a choir meeting, and ab
sconded, carrying it off with him.

-Bennett, of the New York Her
ald, has war on his hands. The Asso
ciated Press have answered his bom
bastic notice of withdrawal at the end
of the year, by requesting him to leave
at onee. Also, Ben Wood has come
hack on the old man trying to crush
his Evening News by a penny Evening
Telegram, dv starting a penny Morn
ing News, containing the Herald dis
patches.
-The condition of the First Na
tional Bank of New Orleans is worse
than tvas anticipated. So far the He
cciver has secured less 9120,000, aud
has eertitied to debts of the hank
amounting to nearly SBM0U0. Nearly
ail the notes which the bank held were
protested as soon as they came due,
aud are generally considered worth
less.
-At the dinner given to Governor
Ward, of New Jersey, on Thursday
evening, Brigadier General Oakley re
sponded to the toast of “The arrav,”
and in doing so made the following
remark: ‘ If the uoble Phil. Kearuey
had lived be would have been appoint
ed Commander of the Army of the
United States after the battle the sec
ond Bull Hun. This I know tVoin offi

-The city of Philadelphia has
within the past few days ordered the
Nicolsou pavement laid through one
entire street, two mile* in length, by
the request of the owners of property
on the street. The whole expense is
$280,000, and it is believed that it will
add nearly half a tuilliou to the value
of real estate on the street.
19* The all-important question, at
least to stockholders, whether the At
lantic cable would pay, hns been satis
factorily answered by ('apt. Sherard
Osborn, who, in a communication to
the London Times, states that the esti
mated receipts for the first year will
reach £450,000, or within £ 150,000 of
the original cost of the Inst laid cable.
-The Galveston News states that
a short time since, as a steamer with a
large number of passengers, ladies and
gentlemen, were approaching the levee
at Baton Rouge, La., four or five hun
dred nigger soldiers were in plain
sight, yelling and gesticulating, nearly
all of whom were perfectly naked!
This is in Sheridan’s tetrnrehy.
-A leading Republican member
of the Legislature of Connecticut, who
listened to Mr. Burr's lecture on human
hybridity, declared that lie was “in fa
vor of a law making it a State prison
offense for any clergyman or justice of
peace to marry a white person with a
negro.’’
-Private hoarding houses are clas
sified and defined bv the internal rev
enue law as hotels, inns or taverns, and
required to pay a special tax on their
rental value. Where the rental value
is $200 or less, the tax is $10, and for
everv $100 or fractional part in excess
of $200, $5.
-The difficulty between Brigham
Young and Orson Pratt, arises from
the fact that Young has stopped pay
ment on Pratt’s drafts on the Mormon
fluid in the bank of England. There is
said to be great opposition to Young’s
tyranny in Utah, and some rich devel
opments arc expected.
-The London Star says that the
Prince of Wales is not treated with
proper respect when ho enters the
smoking rooms of a clul). Instead of
everybody rising and taking ofl' their
hats to receive him, they only nod their
heads with a “llow are you, Wales?”
or something equally familiar.
-The Union and Dispatch of Fri
day says : News reached here yester
day of a sudden and rapid decline in
the health of Governor Brownlow.
His sufferings from palscy are so great

-A gentleman asked Mr. Beecher
the other day what he intended to do
