DBS ABC, ARKANSAS, .IIM: 2,1866.
The moment that the United States
had established their independence on a
firm basis, Patrick Henry, so remembered
lor the bold and active part he took in
effecting this revolution, was the first to
forget all previous animosities, and to hold
out the hand of reconciliation and peace.
Hear the patriot: “I acknowledge,
indeed, sir, that I have many personal in
juries of which to complain. This ques
tion is a national one, and in deciding it,
if you act wisely, you will regard nothing
but the interests of the nation. On the
altar of my country’s good I am willing to
sacrifice all personal resentment, all pri
vate wrongs 'f and I am sure 1 should most
absurdly flatter myself, if I thought that I.
was the only person in this House capable
of making such a sacrifice.” Again he
says, “Encourage emigration—encourage
the husbandmen, the mechanics, the mer
chants of the Old World, to come and
settle in this world of promise—make it
the home of the skillful, the industrious
and happy, as well as the asylum of the
distressed.”
Mr. Henry’s proposition was carried,
and every succeeding year proves that his
anticipations were well founded; America
soon experienced the policy of his counsels,
and tide after tide of emigration has ever
siuce continued to roll wealth and im
provement over her provinces. Thus we
see that in the earliest efforts of the gov
ernment, such men as Patrick Henry
could lay asido prejudice, and even ani
mosit.v for his countrv’s srood, and publie
ly and boldly advocate tbc breaking‘down
partition walls of jealousies and cankering
prejudices, and invite even them but re
cently in arms against him, to come and
help to build up a mighty nation. Nor
was Patrick Henry alone in his liberal and
enlightened views of public policy, touch
ing the expediency of encouraging foreign
emigration to our country ; Adams, Mad
ison and Gallatin, urged upon the country
the importance of inviting emigration to
America, to enable her the sooner to devel
op her latent resources. Such has been
the true policy of every enlightened gov
ernment, and such is the true policy of the
South to-day—now the war* is hushed to
silence—we find thousands of acres offer
tile lands unoccupied and untilled. The
negroes are free, but not equal to the An
gloSaxcn race, the Civil Rights bill to the
contrary; notwithstanding, we as a South
ern people can never recognize the negro
equality doctrine claimed by the fanatics
of New England. Congress may legislate
on the subject for a thousand years, and
still the African race will remain inferior
socially, morally and intellectually; and if
wo are to make the laboring class or opera
tives our equals, let us have at least a
white race.
Rut the feelings of animosity engen
dered by the recent sectional strife, has in
the minds and feelings of many ripened
into a deep-seated prejudice against all
persons hailing from beyond Mason’s and
Dixon’s line. We have a country vast in
extent, and embracing every variety of
soil and productions ; and the most appa
rent desideratum is the settling of our un
occupied lands. If our people of the
0-. il__t.
into blooming fields, and our waste places
into gardens and orchards, let us as an en
lightened, patriotic people, lay aside the
sectional prejudices so long indulged to no
public benefit or practical good, and solicit
farmers, planters, mechanics and artists,
from abroad, to come and help us to build
again the mighty empire of the South.
AYc are for the immediate development,
growth and prosperity of the South, and
have hut little .patience w ith those who are
ready on all occasions to oppose the build
ing of railroads, school houses, and other
public improvements that have for their
object the happiness and prosperity of this
part of the North American Union. We
are sometimes told that if we build school
houses, that Yankees will come and occu
py them as teachers; if we build railroads,
the country will be settled up with A'an
kees. Thbse who believe such whimsical
statements have but little confidence in
themselves, or in the energy, enterprise
and intelligence of the Southern people.
Competition is the very life of business,
and those who dread an honest competi
tion in the varied pursuits of life, distrust
in their owti abilities and those of their
neighbors. But rivalry is the life of bus
iness—calm seas never make skillful pi
lots. The true doctrine is, launch your
bark, unfurl your sails, commit your des
tiny to the winds, waves and tides; hold a
steady helm- and watch with a sleepless
eye the rough surface of a stormy sea ; lay
aside prejudice; and hid G od’s speed to the
successful pilot of every craft that plows
the troubled wave. If wc can’t improve
aud develop this great; rich and unrivaled
land, let those come that can do so by im- j
proving and teaching us how to direct our !
efforts and energies, in making the South
what she ultimately must be, the pride
and glory of all lands.
COMMUNICATED.
Austin, May 15th, 1866.
Mr. Editor :—Through the columns of
your paper allow me to call the attention
of the people of Prairie county, to the
propriety bf reorganizing and starting into
operation our Agricultural and Mechanic
al Fair. Notwithstanding the minds of
the people are being daily employed on
the subjects of internal improvements, na
tional and State politics, we should not
overlook or lose sight of this most import
ant fact, that it is the interest of every
fanner and mechanic, and indeed, every
industrious and enterprising citizen, to
heartily desire to see our county Fair
again in operation. No one, I know, can
object to it opening at some distant day,
but will oppose tlie opening of it this com
ing fall on account of the impoverished
condition of the people, and because a tax
would necessarily follow, while the people
are already taxed to their utmost capacity.
Let the Fair at once be organized. Let
each member contribute ¥2 or ¥3 or what
ever sum may be necessary, this fund, tlie
amount of fare collected at the gate from
visitors, and a small tax to be paid on ar
ticles and stock entered for exhibition, j
will create a sufficient fund to purchase the
premiums. The sum necessarily expend-1
ed in starting and continuing the Fair will:
soon be paid back ten fold. Suppose it j
should hot add one dollar to our pockets, |
it is worth all that for the social enjoy
ment and pleasure it brings; it will be the
means of bringing together the beauty
and intelligence of the county.
We will toil from one end of the year
to another, looking forward to the day of
our county Fair, as being the great day !
for an unusual jubilee for the farmers and
mechanics, a time for our labors to cease,
a mingling together for the exchange of
ideas. A Fair will infuse new life, ener
gy ancl enterprise among the people at
home, while it gives us dignity and char
acter abroad, and shows to the world that
we are an enterprising ancl thrifty people.
Just now is the time for our county to se- j
cure a creditable reputation, by starting l
in this great work. J have no knowledge j
of any steps having been taken to organize
a Fair in any county of this State. Let j
us go immediately to work, and let it he
said to the honor of Prairie county, that
she opened the first Agricultural Fair af
ter the close of the late war. Let us de
cide now to have one, so that the farmers
may have their products ready, and stock
in order, the ladies their needle work, can
fruits and preserves. We must make a
beginning, and if we wait until the fall of
1867, we will have to take a start then,
and still he one year behind. We cannot
reasonably expect any magnificent exhibi
tion this fall, but now is the time to pave
the way for next year, when we may ex
pect a splendid time. We will merely
meet this fall to consider and talk about it
and get in a way to prepare for the second
one.
The 2d day of June, 1866, is the day 1
for a political meeting at Brownsville. Let |
us organize the Fair on that day.

The Monroe Intelligencer of the 10th !
says:
The country on the Mississippi is nearly
all inundated. The lands in Carroll, [
Madison, Tensas and Concordia arc repor
ted as under water, and now the word
reaches us that the great levee near Mor-!
ganza Ins given w;nv, and the largest por-:
tiou of the rich agrie ’ ural lands on the
Atchafalaya, stretching across that stream,:
and down almost to the sea coast, are sub !
merged. Several crevasses have also oc
curred on the east bank of the Mississippi
The plantations on Black river are reported
as submerged, and many places on the
Ouachita are also under water. Nearly
the whole of the lied river lands are over
flowed, am! agricultural operations are,
of course, entirely suspended. In addition
to the calamities, the terrible rain storms
that have prevailed all over the country
have seriously injured the chances for a
crop throughout the hill lands. The pros
pects for the future are, indeed, gloomy,
and not even the most sanguine now calcu
late upon more than one-fourth of a crop,
even in the country that is free from in
undation. On last Saturday the weather
cleared up, on Sunday and Monday the
sun shown out as a May sun is expected
to shine, and planters brightened up in
view of a few day's vigorous work, but on
Tuesday evening another storm swept over
us, and floods of rain again descended upon
the already saturated earth. The grass
and weeds have attained a luxuriant growth,
and the crops, what there are. are strugling
for existence, amidst the rank vegetation
developed by the frequent rains.

meeting *>y selecting A. 0. Edwards for
chairman and John S. Williams for secretary.
The committee appointed by the meeting at
Hickory Plains to procure the servicies of
some “person or persons” to canvass the line
of the Des Arc, Dardanelle and Fort Smith
road for subscription to the capital stock of
the company, reported progress. On motion,
W, L. Moore, of Hickory Plains, and I. C. A.
Skillern, of Austin, were added to said com
mittee. Committee was instructed to act
promptly, and close contract for services as
soon as possible.
John A. Frith reported thirty thousand
dollars suberibed in Des Arc, the books having
been opened only a few days.
The chairman, A. 0. Edwards was then
called upon, and addressed the meeting in a
plain and practical manner, giving the history
of the Tennessee railroad, and showing that,
the Des Arc, Dtu danclle and Fort Smith road
could be easily built.
J. L. Denton was then called for and ad
dressed the meeting in Lis usual happy style,
showed that Arkansas was naturally one of the
richest States in the Union, yet behind all
others in internal improvements, that “where
there is a will there is a way,” that railroads
generally were absolute necessities, so regard
ed by all enlightened communities, ami that the
Des Arc, Dardanelle andFort Smith road could
be easily built, and when completed would be
not only one of the best paying, but. one of
the most important roads in the West.
Col. Hedgepeth was called for, and he made
some very appropriate remarks. Ho seemed
thoroughly enlisted in the railroad cause, and
lie adduced quite an array of facts, to show the
practicability and possibility of constructing
the Des Arc, Dardanelle and Fort Smith rail
road.
Col. J. M. Pnrney was then called for, and
responded in some timely andforcitderemarks.
He treated all opposition to the road, with con
siderr.ble severity, and declared himscit the
friend of internal improvements, in all its va
ried forms.
Mr. N. B. Gairwas calleil for, and “for one
of bis age,” gave a good account of himself.
He urged the people to emulate the example
of States worse injured by the war than ours,
in pushing forward public enterprises.
Col. J. E. Gatewood was called on, said he
thought the audience must be wearied from
protracted speaking, and demanded that the
books should bo opened and subscriptions for
stock received.
The following resolutions were then offered
and unanimously adopted :
/iMo/eed, That the city of Des Are be requested
to subscribe $60,000 to the Des Arc, Dardanelle
and Fort Smith railroad, to bo used only in
equiping said road
Resolved, That the memorial forwarded to

this road, the character of the company, the
proceedings of tiie meetings held at Des Arc,
Hickory Plains and Austin, and other matters,
of importance be published in pamphlet form,
and that 600 copies of the same bo published.
Resolved, That a committee he appointed to
raise money, to defray the expense attending
the publication of said pamphlet.
J. L. Denton, J. M, Burney, Stiles P. Gatlin,
of Des Are, A. J- Thomas, of Hickory Plains,
and John W, Adams, of lied Oak, were ap
pointed said committee.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be furnished tiie Des Arc Citizen and
Crescent, for publication.

Tiie Family of Albert Sydney Johnson in
Distress.—Letters have been received in
Austin, Texas, stating, “directly and reliably,
that the family of Gen. A. Sydney Johnson
are in California, in destitute circumstance *.”
Thomas F. McKinney, of that city, has there
fore made an appeal to the people of Texas,
to send them money in remembrance of a
gallant officer, who resignedhiBCommission in
the old army to accept service in t he republic
of Texas, against the aimics of Mexico, sent
there under Santa Anna, to prevent thorn
