' The Chops.— Throughout this section of
country the prospect of fine crops was never
better. Cotton and corn especially looks un
usually well. Wheat, rye, oats, &c., is ma

to the wealth of the farmers of Prairie county

Locke’s Family Grocery. — Charles G.
Locke’s Family Grocery, on Buena Vista
street, opposite Washer, Vaughan &. Co.’s
Dry Goods House, is becoming a favorite re
sort for those who are in want of cheap arti
cles at cash prices. His advertisement in our
columns speaks for itself. Charley is not
disposed to “ hide his light under a bushel,”
I but wishes the people to know that he will
sell his articles as cheap, by the bushel, pound,
gallon, quart or pint—yea, in any manner
known to mortal man, woman or child—for
the cash. He solicits the patronage of
“ everybody and his wife,” the children not
excepted.
In.rei . u Wpt r _Tliftr. in hrt TllflCft in
I our knowledge that an Artesian Well can be
bored with a more perfect certainty of ob
Itaining pure water, and plenty of it, than
Des Arc. Five hundred feet is the estimated
distance tb'we have heard suggested that
water can be found that will be thrown twen
ty ty-five feet above the surface. Let a company
'i be formed, and as our Board of Mayor and
; Alderman seem loth to expend pub'lic money
’f otherwise, they can take stock liberally. The
ft public square is a magnificent location for the
. Well, as all the town can be conveniently
p supplied with water therefrom. Neighboring
I towns are forming companies and are deter
mined to try the experiment. Des Arc should
not be behind her neighbors.
Announcements.—Several new names will
be found in our announcement column this
week, who are ready and willing to hold
I county offices. We also announce three can
didates for constable in this (White River)
township.
W" We invite special attention to the ad
vertisement headed “ Valuable Improved
Lands near Des Arc, for Sale.” An op
portunity for a good investment is offered.

1“ Runaway Negroes.— We have heard, re
cently, of more runaway negroes, than at
any time previous, during the past six years.
Not less than nineteen runaways are hid in
the swamps within twenty-five miles of Des
Arc. On Wednesday morning a negro be
longing to Mr, S. Reeves, near Jone’s Hill P.
0., some twelve miles east of us, was missing.
Mr. Reeves arrived here on Wednesday even
log. and learned that at one o’clock in the
morning a white man and two negrtfes ferried
Ihemselves across the river, having found the
ferry-boat moored at the landing. Mr. Reeves
pursued them westward. We trust he will
gg overtake them.
Owners of negroes cannot be too particular.
j| There are a class of mean white men peram
■ Lulating the country, whose object ij that of
■ stealing negroes, either to sell thetn, or run
B them to free territory. There are too many
Pi men in this section who have no visible means
II °f making a livelihood. This class, almost
U invariably, are ready to aid in “any specula
B tion” to line their pockets with the “needful.”
H The authorities at Memphis have recently
H caused a great many of this class to emigrate,
a lntl we have but little doubt they are aiding
) most of the negroes who have recently run
|l Beware of men who are found tampering
3 with and talking to your negroes. All such
| men should be arrested and dealt with in a
jsj^smmary manner.
Wild Nebraska Wheat—An Impositio
On or about the 25th of May, A. D. 1860, o
• C. R. McCauley, who came to Des Arc afe
- months since, as a painter, which honoral
vocation he soon abandoned, and busied hii
self in aiding that class who have no “knov
means of making a livelihood,” called at th
. office and ordered fifty hand-bills, portrayii
the superiority of “Wild Nebraska Wh.cs
adapted to all climates and every soil,—pr
ducing 25 bushels to the acre in the poore
soil, and and 100 bushels in soils of superb
I fertility.” He proposed to sell this wheat
50 cents a paper. He also ordered 1000 label
, to be placed on the afaresaid papers of whea
, which were to contain about 25 grains eacl
; He told the wheat had not arrived, but I
expected it on every boat.
McCauley obtained the hand-bills from oi
office and a few of the labels, and remain*
i about town until Friday evening of last weel
when he slily took passage on the steamer 8
Francis and left for some other section.
This “Wild Nebraska Wheat” was purcl
ased, as we learn, in Caroline township, speci
mens of which have been shown us, and is
very common article of wheat. We learn tha
parties here aided him in obtaining the wheal
We trust they are innocent of knowing any
thing of the fraud attempted to be practiced
We learn that McCauley not only swindle:
the printer out of $9,50, but that his boan
and liquor bill remain unpaid.
This C. R. McCauley is reported to b:
from Lauderdale county, Alabama. He i
near 40 years of age, hair quite gray—abou
six feet high—quick spoken—hands and fac
freckled; always ready, at the least intima
tion, “to take a drink.”
As soon as we learn the names of thosi
who aided, knowingly, in this wheat swindle
their names will be presented to the public.
Since writing the above we have obtainec
the “identical wheat,” which was importer
from Caroline township, and is now “on eX'
hibtion” atjthe Citizen Office.
THE TELEGRAPH.
To the Citizens of Arkansas—Bf.wari
of Impositions.—The undersigned, exclusivi
owner of the right to use Morse’s telegraph
instrument on the route from Memphis tc
Little Rock and Helena, (deed of conveyanci
bearing date Washington, D. C., August 17th
1856. siirned Samuel F. B. Morse, hv his nttnr
ney in fact, Amos Kendall.) feels it his duty
to warn the people of Arkansas against thf
parties who are now engaged in the effort to
get up a telegraph line on the aforesaid route.
The Morse patent is in universal use through
out this country, and even in Europe, and is
the only simple and practical one. I visited
Little Rock and obtained a charter from the
Legislature in the winter of 1858, for the
above line, and have only been waiting for the
opening of the railroad route.
Either myself or a duly authorized agent
will shortly call upon those who are inter
ested, and the enterprise will be offered to
them on a safe and substantial foundation;
meantime a suspension of payment on the
subscription papers now in circulation would
be most prudent.
H. A. MONTGOMERY.
Memphis, May 26, 1860.
We have read the statement of Mr. Mont
gomery, and take pleasure in certifying to the
truth of the same ; also that Mr. M. has been
connected with the telegraph lines leading
into this city, for a number of years, and has
all the energy, capacity and responsibility for
the successful prosecution of any enterprise of
the kind.

ARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS.
Arrival of the Missing Mail—Murderers
Pursued by One Hundred and Five
Mountain Men under Major Ormsby—
Fight with Five Hundred well-armed
Indians in Ambush—Defeat of Major
Ormsby's Party, with Great Loss—
Excitement throughout California—All
Available Troops and Several Volun
teer Companies in Pursuit of the Indi
ans.
St. Joseph, June 1.
The Pony Express, with the dispatches
and mail missing from the pony which ar
rived Thursday evening last, arrived here
at 2:25 this afternoon.
San Francisco, May 10, 3:40 p. M.
The last Pony Express took intelligence
that several Americans had been murder,
ed by the Indians while asleep at Miller’s
Station, on Carson river,some thirtwniles
from the settlements on Carson Vrlley ;
and also that various companies had or*
ganized at Virginia City, Gold Hill and
other settlements in the Washoe mines,
and gone in pursuit of the Indians, sup
posed to have committed the murder. It
1_I.._I .1... ,1_
ou uov'juc.11v i j r r w --—
had united in one body, under command
of Major Ormsby. They were mourned
and m^pbared one hundred and five men.
This force, on the 12th inst., at 4 p. m.
came upon the Indians at bend of Turkey
river, about sixty-five miles northward
toward Pyramid Lake from Virginia
City.
The Indians were in ambush at a nar
row pass, through which the Ormsby party
were proceeding, and numbering, it is
supposed, not less than five hundred, al
having fire-arms, plenty of ammunition
and one hundred and fifty horses withir
convenient distance. They opened a fir<
upon our troops from their safe hiding
places, and Major Ormsby ordered t
charge, but the Indians continued ti
skulk, firing occasionally from behind thi
rocks and sage bushes, doing damagi
without suffering much in return. Thi:
condition of things continued two hours
when the ammunition of Ormsby’s party
gave out. Tlie Indians seeing this, closet
upon our men, pouring in volley afte
volley, killing many on the spot.
The balance retreated, scattering in al
directions, over hills and among sag:
bushes. They were pursued twenty-fivi
or thirty miles by the - mounted Indians
and many detached parties cutoff Thi
survivors came straggling into V irginii
j City during the two following days. Th<
! exact number of killed is not yet ascer
tained, but it probably exceeds fifty.
Among the slain are Major Ormsby, Hen
ry Meredith, a distinguished Californi
lawyer, Win. S. Spear, Richard Snowdec
Win. Arrington, Dr. Jader, Charles Dex
ans, James Dee, F. Johnson, Charle
McLeod, John Fleming, S. Andersor

*• an armed force to protect parties burying
>e the dead, but no account has yet been re.
w ceived from the battle ground,
le Very axaggerated accounts of this bat.
i- tie were telegraphed to all parts of Cali.
rn fornia. on the 13lh. It was first reported
is that all of Ormsby’s party were killed, ex
ig cept six—that the victorious Indians,num
t,. bering two thousand, were marching upor
>- Virginia City, determined to kill al
st American citizens in the Washoe mines;
>r that all the Indians from Walker river or
it the South, to Humboldt on the north, were
s- in war paint, and had sent away theit
t, women and children, and that while thus
i. threatened with destruction, the Ameri
e cans in Washoe mines had no arms ot
ammunition. These exaggerated reports
r caused powerful exertions throughout Cali
d fornia to send relief.
:, At Placerville and Sacramento the peo
pie assembled ajid raised about 83,000
and fitted out a company of well-armed
. Volunteers, who started from Placerville
- on their way over the mountains on the
i 14th. On the 10th 150 volunteers started
t out from Downieville, and another com
. pany from Nevada. All the principal
. military companies in the State expressed
. readiness to embark in the same duty.—
I The State authorities promptly dispatched
I 200 stands of arms, with a good supply
of ammunition. General Clark, com
. manding the Pacific division of the U. S.
i A., dispatched from San Francisco, on the
; 14th, 150 United States troops, all the
. available men in Central California, to
. gether with 500 stands of arms and 100,
000 rounds of ammunition. He also sent
orders to 100 United States soldiers sta
tion at Honey Lake, 100 miles north of
Carson valley, to proceed to the Pyramid
Lake regions, and aid in suppressing hos
tilities. These movements warrant the
belief thnt there are now not less than
ouu weii-armea volunteers irum umumm
and 260 United States soldiers ready for
duty on the eastern slope of the moun
tains, which is an ample force to protect
the people as long as upaid volunteers
can afford to remain in the field.
At the last accounts, the hostile Indians
were all to the north of the Pony Express
and Salt Lake mail and emigrant route,
and the troops will be so posted as to
keep that route open. The Indians on
the eastern side of the mountains, extend
ing north into Oregon, and westward into
the interior of Utah, number probably 2,
000, and from their contiguity with the
Mormons, and other unavailable causes,
are all liable to become hostile to the
Americans, unless permanet means are
taken by the Government to restrain them.
At least 500 United States soldiers should
be stationed at different exposed points,
between the Humbolt and Walker rivers.
I Murder.—We learn from a gentleman who
I has just returned from Fulton county, that a
most revolting murder was perpetrated at
Salem, a few days since. As far as we could
learn, the facts are as follow: A man by the
name of McDaniel, a grocery keepei of Salem,
was sitting in his grocery amusing himself liy
playing on a common jews-harp, when young
Hanalson, a son of Dr. Hanalson. of Salem,
entered the grocery, and in a spirit of boyish
fun picked up a couple of counter weights
and commenced keeping time by striking them
together. McDaniel ordered him to put the
weights down, and told him that if he did not
he (McD.) would kill him. Hanalson think
ing there was no danger, and feeling confi
dent that the threat was made in fun, con
tinued to strike the weights together, where
upon McD. put down the harp and walked
into his back room, whence he soon returned
with a pistol in his hand, which be placed to
the left breast of Hanalson and fired, the ball
entering just below the left nipple and passed
through the body .causing almost instant death.
.McDaniel cried out immediately, protesting
that he did it unintentionally, and that it was
purely accidental, but he was seized by the
citizens, firmly bound and securely guarded
until after his trial before the examining
court, when he was committed to jail to await
a further examination by a higher court.
