DEB ARC, ARKAK3A 8:
Saturday klorBing, J««. i,
With this number we enter upon
another rear’s labor and toll. Twelve
months since, we expressed our hopes
and anticipations of the future—they
have been more than realised. We
then promised the people a good fami
ly newspaper for the small sum of two
dollars and fifty cents; and many con
jectured that we would derive no
profits at their rates. We arc glad to
inform our patrons to the contrary,
and that wc feel no regret for the step
then taken. Since that time we have
noticed a simitar reduction of subscrip
tion in most of the papers published in
the Slate. How we have succeeded
in the promises then made we will
lpave for our readers to judge. We
know that our every ability and exer
tion has been given to the work of pro
ducing a newspaper that would com
pare favorably with any of our State,
and do not think they have been alto
gether in ya!n. They'a "hasbeen (in un
usually hard one upou all branches of
Industry; but, the circumstances pro
; • rly considered, we find no reason
able ground for complaiut.
In our future, we have much to hope
for. The Citizen is now a sclf-sup
j nrting Institution, ou a solid and per
manent basis, and mav well claim the
t tie it bears. ITearly fourteen years
s/o its publication was commenced in
I’rs Arc, the place then not having
more than elghty-flvc inhabitants, and
they have both grown up together—
J'es Arc to be the first commercial
I oint ou White river, and the Citizen
i o old acquaintance and welcome vlsi
< . >** Sn nnarl«> nrarv tinllBislinli) ilk tlllM
and contigous counties.
Its columns will be, as they have al
ways been, open to all who can aid or
assist by their pens in the advancement
of the interests of ouv people and coun
t-y. In politics, the tame old banner
that has beeu so long followed, and
which gave to the country ail the peace
and quietude it has evsr enjoyed, will
not now be deserted. AVe are living
in an age of great events, and bold,
honest and fearless action will control
them. The time has passed for timid
counsels or dereliction of duty. Let
there be no more shirking among offi
cers or men but all go forward in the
honest discharge of the duties that de
volve upon them.
The present year will be big with
good or evil for onr land. Ail the
great questions and Issues in national
policy that have divided otir country
into sections, will he freely canvassed
in the coming Presidential and State
campaigns. The people have a great
task to perform. Four years of civil
strife have broken a third of the pillars
that supported this great edifice, and
well nigh tumbled it into ev xlasting
rnin. They must be rebuilt soon or
the labor will be lost.
There never was a time when the
people more needed to be informed ot
what was passing in the political world
than now. Iu one short year the des
tiny of a great republic is to be decid
ed, the stability of a republican form
of government to be tested, and the
welfare of unborn millions to he strug
gled for. The people of the South
have a purer press than ever before
and it is doiug noble work in its advo
cacy of right and justice, and a return
to fraternal feelings between the peo
ple of the North and the South. Let tin
people hold up the hands of their advo
cates and their cause will be heard.
In conclusion, wc cannot forego thii
opportunity of expressing our gratefu
acknowledgements to the numeroui
patrons of the Citizen, for the gener
ous and substantial testimonials that
we have received at their hands, and
hope that our future efforts may roerii
a continuance of the same.
Gen. Okd D to be removed from bit
command of the Fourth Military Die.
trict. A special to the N. Y. Timei
gives, as explanation of his removal
that it was made at Geu. Grant's sug
gestion, who, it seems, while being
averse to aft y changes in other Distrleti
because he considered it injurious tt
tbe progress of reconstruction, has, foi
some time been of the opinion tlia
a change of commanders in this Mill
(ary District would be for the best
Gen. Ord will proceed to California t<
relieve Gen. McDowell, who will ar

District immediately on his arrival.

not by candidates but by issue* All thsi
democrats have to do to make viotory

this anxiety must he eulightenod if the.,
an to bring forth prudence and energy
enough to rave us. The people must be
made to see and to know whence tbeir per
il oimes and wherein ties their hope. Tc
this end the most extensive possible circu

journals. All good campaign documents
are valuable; but of all good “campaign
documents” tnc newspayer is ^compara

is heard day after day, weak after week,
in season and out of seasou. “line upon

gives them as nothing else can. There

THE HOLIDAY*
Christmas, with all Its soul-stirring,
hallowed associations, has come and
gone, and we feel like him who stands
gazing np into vacuity after a brilliant
has made its advent and suddenly hur
ried from his sight Into remote fields.
Yes. our holidays are gone; but they
have left their Impress ou memory's
page. Feast, fan and frolic have been
dispensed with a liberal hand to the
lads and lasses in and around Des Arc,
and doubtless the light and soft touches
of the winged boy’s footprints have
been better felt thau told—but of this
Time must be the rcvelator. On the
evening of the 24th (Christmas Eve)
the steamer Des Arc rent the welkin
with her shrill whistle as a signal to the
citizen* that the ball was about to open,
and the gailant and fair lost no time in
responding to the invitation thus ten
dered. Soon a lively, gay and laugh
ing crowd are safely ensconced in the
cabin of that noble steamer, and the
soft strain* of music float on every
breeze, as off they go in the mazy whirl,
on fantastic touch of toe.. Oh, who
would not he young and beautiful and
gay ou such occasions! Even the old
grny-hairsd men felt or seemed to feel
the elasticity of years long gone by,
and lived over the Hoys Of better years
tbst have been chronicled upon the
great balance sheet of Time. But the
hours of that evening had wings, and
imperceptibly sped awayj ushering in
the dawn of Christmas, when all the
children hurried forth to realize what
that old mystic fellow, Santa Claus, had
deigned to cram in their suspended
stockings. Early in the day the citi
zens are summoned, to a sumptuous
dining at the house of our worthy and
obliging friend, Dr. Ilazen, where good
things are copiously dispensed. Ou
the 26th the gallant and fair are billeted
to attend at the house of our iuticular
friend, Judge Kent. The beautiful and
lair ones were there, and if nnybody
,11 4 >>n* ahIaii tnuat ! t ttraa Ilia
j her fault. To say it went off as merry
»« a marriage hell don’t expregs it all.
On the 31st our kind and,clever friend,
Sam. Jackson, opened his house to the
pleasure-seeking and bright-eyed ones
of Dcs Are, when mirth and glee lent
charm to the night, and everybody en
joyed the occasion in good old-fash
ioued stylo. Sim. knows how to treat
a crowd; if any doubt it, lei him or her
get an invitation next time and go. On
the 1st of January (New Year's) our
old friend, Dr. liazeu, again opened
his house to the lucky ones wlfosc for
| tune it was to be there and enjoy the
| many nice and good things so bounti
i fully dispensed. Who would uot live
in Dcs Arc—or living here, who would
wish to leave ? X*****.

The Confederate Dead now on
Chickamauga Battle-Field.
We are indebted, says the Little
Rock Gazette, to Mr. 11. Clark Burris*,
of Clarendon, who has manifested a
lively interest in the matter since the
close of the war, for the following list
of Arkansas dead at Chickamauga.—
We also publish an appeal for aid from
the Georgia Memorial Association.—
Any contributions the people of our
state may be disposed to make will be
very acceptable, and may be forwarded
to the ladies whose names appear to
the appeal, with all confidence that the
funds will be properly applied to a
good purpose:
“The trustees of the ‘Georgia Memo
rial Association’ having carefully col
lected the nninee, as far as possible of
the Confederate dead who now He on
the battle field of Chickamauga, here
with publish them for the benefit of
their friends in the various states. The
small appropriation made by the Geor
gia Legislature is very inadequate to
the great work, aud only serves as a
nucleus with which to begin tills work
of reinterment in consecrated ground.
We have selected a beautiful site, which
has been given us. immediately on the
railroad at Marietta, and now: call upon
, the citizens of our state to give us the
means to reinter them all in one spot,
and make it as beautiful and attractive
as their heroism rendered the name of
Chickamauga glorious. This work
will bear no longer delay. We cannot
wait further legislative action. Nearly
four years have passed, and the head
boards, and all records, are last passing
| neglected, Georgians will blush when
Chicksniauga is mentioned, as its un
1 marked graves will be an eternal mou
I uineut of their ingratitude.
| The following list is only of Chieka
' mauga.s dead. The list of all places
| south to Kesaca is not yet finished.—
Wherever only the initials appear we
would be glad if their friends and com
rades will furnish us their full names,
and for any information apply to
