Another Bouquet.— Mrs. S. M. S., and
«Mrs. E. A. J., have our thanks for the magni
Sficent bouquet sent us a few dayssincej as also
||§or the complimentary letter in refeience to

stitutions. As long as lovely woman smiles
:Jq>on our efforts to defend the right, and
Sails with joy the progress of the Southern
Confederacy, we shall not look back, but press
forward in the good work. We placed the
Bouquet in a prominent place in the Citizen
jbffice, where it was admired by our many vis
itors. It was finally taken charge of by a true
ion of the South, who h?s doubtless telegraph
ed the fact far and near, as he is an admirer
Bf the beautiful, and often controls the electric
Buid as it courses along the wires over the
llirh soil of our Crystal State. May he appre
ciate the bouquet, and learn to worship at the
Shrine of some fair maiden who will love and
Sdore him as the “ Lord of her heart.”

I Gentlemen oe the Hindman Guard: I
ippear before you under one of the most sol

the period of my existence, and I can assure
you gentlemen, it is with feelings of eijbarass
ttent; but when I come to think why it is we
lAave assembled here, I am nerved up witli a
glove for the South and a desire l'or freedom,
Hhhich causes ine to pray that this company
Hpnay act noble and gallantly, and fight bravely
l§s did the patriots of old. It is true, I have
brothers in this company that are now on the
five of starting to battle and I know I love
HlPiern as dearly as ever brothers were loved,
lf|ut gentlemen, I give them up freely, feeling,
llhat if they die in the battle field, they will
"4ie a death which in future years I will be
proud to relate. Now in proof of my heartfelt
Sprayers to the God of Heaven and of earth for
Jour success, I present to this company, the
Banner of those States that have come out
from under the yoke of would be tyranny,
fe ind declared themselves forever free. May it
Kprave proudly over this little band, and may it
F Sever be returned dishonored. That you may
' Act bravely is my sincere and devoted prayer.

Little Rock, May 11—evening—Relia

federal troops have abandoned the forts in the
Indian Territory—having previously burned
Fort Washita,—they are being hotly pursued
by a kirge detachment of Texas Rangers. At
last accounts the rangers were in less than a
day’s march of them, and have doubtless over
taken them.
Advices received here from the government
at Montgomery, render it certain that our
right to the territories west of us arc to be
maintained at all hazards, and that at an
early date a requisition will be made upon
Arkansas and Texas for troops for the Indian
Territories, New Mexico and Arizonia.

The government of the Confederate States

Baltimore, may 10.--The western train was

A train of western cars, with a lot of horses
and one hundred heaves, bound for Baltimore

Sr. Louis, May 10.—Gen. Frost’s brigade

FROM LITTLE ROCK.
Special Despatch to the Citizen:
Little Rock, May 14.—Bill passed con
fiscating the title of the United States Goi
ernment to all public lands in the State, and
escheating it to the Jtate of Arkansas.
Resolutions introduced by Totten, of Prai
rie county, were passed to-day, endorsing the
Government at Montgomery in granting Utters
of marque and reprisal, and pledging the
whole moral and physical power of the State
to sustain it in this policy, and recommending
P: fesident Davis to hold the person of every
alien enemy, that may be taken, and make it
personally responsible to the Southern people
if Lincoln Lhall execute his threat to treat
privateers as pirates.
The election of Pearce a* Brig. General
gives much dissatisfaction.
The union men still maintain their party
organization and will permit no efficient war
measure to pass.
The regular military bill is still unpassed, and
little is known as to its final shape except
that ho subordinate appointments will be made
by the Convention. davis.
MEMPHIS MARKET.
Saturday Morning, May 11.
Authenticated despatches from St. Louis
and Louisville, reporting an effectual blockade
upon further shipments of provisions to points
south of Cairo, were received last evening,
but failed to create any excitement of conse
quence in the market. The fact that our city
at present contains ample stocks of Provis
ions for the ordinary demands of trade from
this time until the receipt of the new crop,
tend to prevent any marked advance in prices,
when at the same time, consumers are assur
ed that no apprehensions will be entertained
as to supplies becoming exhausted prior to
that date.
Cotton.—With bad weather and a limited
demand, yesterday’s sales were confined to
izo oaies, ac a Dasis or iujc ror miauuug.—
Quotations are entirely nominal, and we omit
them for the present.
