Notice to Correspondents.
All communications addressed to tlii
Office must be plainly written on one sidi
of the paper, and the authors name mus
invariably accompany each article. W<
will accept or reject all manuscript as oui
judgment dictates.
It there is one question of grea
and leading importance, it is. What is t<
be our destiny ? what shall become of thii
nation ? to what end are we, us a people
being led by the mysterious baud of Fate:
More particularly, whither do we drift
who, for four years labored in the might}
pains of war to bring forth disappointment
and submission ?
The great struggle is over; the end has
come—the end of war; but the beginning
ofanowera in the history of a countiy
that must and will take its place in the
world, a monument of greatness, a living
example of the bight that energy and in
tclligence may reach. We have been born
again; our eyes have been opened and wc
see; see that the great heart of the South
ern people has been sorely smitten, but
not broken; sec that the energy of the
South has been awakened, her determina
tion aroused and her strong arm moved to
battle manfully for self right and improve
ment.
tvmie our sister states are rapidly step
ping up to take their positions in the nation,
to raise their voice in support of all that is
calculated to elevate and benefit a people,
Arkansas is not behind them. Hers has
been, and is no half way policy, Vitally
does she feel the importance of the ques
tion, What is to be our destiny ? and nobly
does she by action answer it. From the
I northern boundary to the southern ex
tremity of the State, there can be seen the
marks of improvement, the evidences of a
determination to place herself beside her
sister States, surpassed by none. Her
people are building up their towns, im
proving their country, and beginning to
live in earnest the life of industry and
peace. But there is a work to which wc
as men, as citizens, must address ourselves
if we would sec our State rapidly advanced
to a high position in the national constel
lation We mean Internal Improvement.
We must develop the intellect of the State.
This wc can only effect through the medi
um of schools, such schools as the people
may well be proud of; schools where our
sons and daughters may bo prepared to
take their positions in the world, fully
armed to fight the great battle of life;
schools that will be to those searching for
a home an attraction, because of the advan
tages they offer to their children. Wc
must have schools, to go hand in hand
with the church and the press, shedding
light into dark places and ennobling a’
who may come within the broad circle o:
their influence. If We would have oui
sons more wise than their fathers, bettei
calculated to advance tho interests of theii
country, we must educate them. Let u:
then to the work.
In order to the proper understanding o
eaoh others views, our mails should b(
regulated, our lines of communicatioi
opened up and improved. Bridges shouh
be built, roads improved and town plncei
in communication with town But th
greatest of improvements, and that whicl
we most need, is ltail Koads; great thoi
oughfares, penetrating the heart of th
country and uniting the people of th
State, north, south, east and west, upo;
the broad platform of mutual improvemeni
Let us construct such Koads as will mo>
•enefit us first, making parent stems froi
vhieh may spring other Roads; and a
■ur wealth by them is increased, we ma
iontiuue to build, to develop and improvi
until our valleys are made musical with th
shrill whistle of the Iron Horso, and ov
mountains glad as they seud back tl
tcho of prosperity What though our L
>or system is destroyed ? this only betti
Us us for a great work. It increases oi
nergy, gives strength to our arms, at
jakes us to rely upon ourselves alone f
he attainment of great ends- When v
lust work we arc not ashamed of it; ai
re often astonished to fiud what gre
hings we can do. Others have bu
lail Roads, why may not wc? We e:
md must, if wc would improve the talen
given us in a productive soil, an extensi'
territory, au earth teeming with all the (
emeuts of greatness; a people upon who
face God has stamped his own seal.
We are all interested in the improv
rnent of our State, and should all work fi
whatever may advance her interests, Th
is no time for idle repining; it is not ou
to brood over the past in melaucholy f
lence, and sigh because it cannot be forge
ten. The past should be to us a remind
of what we are It should teach us h*
site 1 ];<e «nv pIvwhiv#, h<>w
we may enjoy, because it has shown u
■ how keenly we could suffer.
: We hare need of action how Our soci
ety must be improved The affections am
‘ sympathies of thd people that have, b;
' common woe, been made stronger tbai
! °
iron, must be kept alive by harmoniou;
exertion for tho accomplishment of nobh
1 purposes Let us then be up and doing
Let us build school houses and churches
that the intellectual man may be strength
ened, the morals of our country improved
Let us to the work of constructing Rai
Roads, that the valleys of the cast and th<
mountains of the west may be brought to
, getlier; and under tho broad wings o
these enterprises, society will take nev
form, and to us will be unfolded1, that w<
may read in letters of living light, the glo
rious destiny that awaits us as a people.
I©* A m extensive fire occurred yester
day morning, says the Memphis Avalanche
of the 27th inst., between two and three
o’clock, on Vance street, between Causey
and St, Mt irtiii, causing the destruction o;
several buildings. The only buildings
saved in the block were the tenements or
the corner of Causey and tho bakery oti
the corner of St. Martin, with the adjoin
ing building, The large mill owned by
Mr. James, was entirely consumed, which
is quite a loss, as his machinery was quite
valuable. Who the other sufferers were
we have not ascertained. The timely ar
rival of ftie ire department, and the wind
changing, arrested the progross of the
flames, which at one time seemed to defy
the efforts of our gallant firemen. Gran
ville White, Esq., and John Henry, Esq.,
were on the ground and rendered effective
service, the latter injuring his leg quite
seriously. The morning was hitter cold,
and it was a deplorable sight to see women
and children fleeing from their burning
homes, half clad, out into the piercing
wind; furniture broken and family relics
destroyed by tbe unpitying and devouring
element.
&*&" We have already announced, says
the Memphis Avalanche, a breach between
Wilson and Sumner. The fight promises
to he a terrible one. The papers of Mas
sachusetts are arraying themselves under
the respective banner of the belligerents.
Sumner and Wilson have certainly clinch
ed in the straggle for power May they
pound each other’s ugly face into a jelly—
may they pull each other’s hair—may they
gouge out each other’s eyes—may they
bite oft" each other’s noses—may they choke
each other till their lying tongues hang
out of their dirty mouths—may they mas!
iu each other’s ribs and tear out eacl
other’s hearts—may they kick each othei
with a hundred-horse power, and their fee
be covered with sliarp-toed iron boots anc
steel brogans—may they turn to a couph
of Kilkenny eats, and fight and bite am
scratch until they eat each other up; am
when their worthless lives become extinct
may the devil, with all the mighty ho.t o
hell, turn out in one grand cavalcade t<
■ welcome home his faithful and efficien
. embassadors.
President Johnson's Policy Abroad.
The London Times of the 6th make
' the following comment on the veto mes
sage:
1 The President of the United States ha
1 just refused his asseut to a bill passed b
1 both Houses of Congress, and has thu
* brought the Executive and Legislativ
l powers of the Republic into direct coll
! sion with each other! The exercise of ai
1 thority he has justified iu a long and elat
■ orate message, of which, it is not, we thin!
2 too much to say, that it establishes, con
2 plotoly and absolutely, the wisdom of' hi
1 decision. The question at issue coucerno
• an institution long designated as peculia
1 to the Southern States of the Union, bn
‘ the event wtuen nave recently transpire
B in our own colony of Jamacia. will enabl
y us to understand with very little difficult
!> the conflict in America. * * * *
e It is said the public had testified thei
r approval of an act designed to express th
e ! determined opposition of the President t
1‘ sectional and oppresive legislation. No
!r should we expect less from the good sens
ir and judgment of the American people, li
^ this country, the courage and decision ex
,r hibited by Mr. Johnson, will confirm th
0 respect in which his policy has been held
''l and will entitle him to credit as one of th
ablest statesmen who have ever conducte
^ a great nation successfully through a peri
n ous crisis, by firmness, moderation an
ts wisdom.
j -A exchange tells the following rath*
tough yarn ; “A family of five persons reside

period of lifty-three years, during which tin

,r in the family; neither did they during th;

j El ROPE AN WAR IN PROSPECT.
Despatch of a Prussian l■ftimatum to
Austria—•‘Austria Must Either held
1 or Fight.
i From the London Owl, March 8.
A German crisis is imminent. ThePrussiati
Government has despatched to Vienna a sum
mons in respect to Holstein which is as pre
emptory in its tone as its demands. Bismark is
i ready to face a war and its consequences
Austria must at once take up the gauntlet or
yield the pretensions of Prussia in a some
what ignominious manner.
[From the London Standard. March 6.]
A crisis is approaching in the relations
between the two great German Powers, from
which there arc but two issues—war between
the condo mini of the Elbe duchies, or another
1 surrender on the part of Austria. The Prus
sian government has used the power given it
by the Gastein Convention to make Schleswig
practically its own. It now wants to finish
with the matter, and formally annex Holstein
and Schleswig. But this project meets with a
stubborn resistance from Austria, The Aus
trian government has no particular views of
its own with regard to the duchies. It would
like to disposo of them in some way by which
it could at the same time turn an honest pen
ny, increase its popularity in Germany and
balk Prussia. But it does not see how to at
tain this grand result, and all it can do is to
offer as much opposition as possible to the
Prussian projects, partly in the hope of defea
ting them, partly with the idea of compelling
Prussia to pay a higher price for its ultimate
compliance, if compliance should be found
necessary. The Prussian government eviden
tly means to risk war, if only war will bring
Austria to reason. Count Von Bismark has
dared his decks for action. He has got rid of
his Parliament. He has assured himself, or
at least fancies he has assured himself, of the
neutrality of France and Russia. He has
money enough in the treasury lie has a good
provision of all necessary stores, and thanks
to the reorganization, he has a large army im
mediately available to whom he could offer no
more welcome opponents than the Austrians,
lie is in a better condition to deal with Austria
than he was last summer, when he exhorted
Lauenburg from her by an ultimatum.
The question is, what will Austria do ? Will
„i.„ i ... „„ „.:n
light ? There can be no doubt what the Em
peror and his Court would like to do. The
Gastcin Convention was a bitter humiliation
to them, and the effort begun soon after to
regain Hungary was dictated in no small part
by the desire to restore the strength of the
empire so as to enable it to resent the arro
gance of Prussia. But good as the will of the
Emperor to fight may be, great as are the re
sources of Austria, can any one believe that
the Emperor is at this moment in a position to
risk war with Prussia, and above all to risk it
for so small a matter '! The battle would have
to be fought now against much heavier odds
than it would have been last summer. We do
not apprehend any disturbance of the peace
of Europe, because we cannot believe tliot
Austria will risk war, and the next phase of
the Schleswig-Holstein question will, there
fore, we arc convinced, be the practical com
mencement of Prussian rule over both
duchies.
The Great Fire in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, March ,23.— The Adams Ex
I
1 press Company have opened a temporary office
. at No. 112 West Fourth street, aud are prepar
ed for business. Three car loads of goods,
) valued at about $150,000 were destroyed by
^ the fire. Their insurances on office fixtures is
thirty-five thousand dollars, All their horses
and wagons were saved.
The Enquirer's Company lost about. $100,
000; insured for $38,000. They had on hand
printed matter valued at $50,000. iucluding
$18,000 belouing to John Roberson's circus.
The Buckeye Billiard Saloon lost $10,000,
s partially insured*
y Niblett & Atkinson lost $18,000; insured
for $10,000.
R. W. Carroll & Co., lost over $120,000; in
1 sured for $70,000.
A. C. Peters & Co. lost their entire stock of
■■ music and musical instruments. Damage very
heavy. Insurance $30,000. Among the arti
: cles lost were plates for printing sheet music,
which Mr. Peters had been gathering for the
last forty years. F P. Uahly lost $15,000,
insured $9,000; Holmes & Co. lost $10,000,
insured $25,000; D. H. Baldwin lost 22 pianos,
r partially insured; Bryant, .Stratton & Delian
t lost, $8,000, no insurance; Strowbridge & Gcr
1 laet lost $10,000, no insurance. There was a
B large number of minor losses, iucluding the
office of the Daily National Union. Business.
on Fourth street, between Walnut and Vine,
is entirely suspended to-dnv, and the street
r blocked by fallen walls of the Opera House.
2 The streets surrounding the burnt space have
3 been thronged with eager spectators through
r out the day, and an intense feeling of awe pre
, vails throughout the city over tiiis diasaster.
The Enquirer will resume its daily issue to
morrow. Sprague’s building, corner of Fourth
and Vine, and Carlisle’s corner of Fourth nud
2 Walnut streets, were not injured.
’ -One-half of the volunteer force in Texas
have deserted. General Custer, knowing that
^ the trial for desertion was a farce, tried every
- humane way to save his army from going to
.1 pieces, but failed. He then tried a new way ;
and flogged several men and shaved theii
heads. This had the desired effect, but
1 brought down the friends of these soldiers
upon him, who charge him with being disloyal
a inhuman, and everything that is bad.
0 A Truk Prophecy.—The prophecy of Danie'
1 Webster, in regard to matters in case a ccrtau
11 class of politicians obtained control of affairs
lc has proved too true. In glancing at the future
of the country, he said:
•° “If these fantics and abolitionists ever gei
•e power into their hands they will override the
: Constitution, setthe SupremeCourt atdefiance
n | change and make laws to suit themselves
ic i finally they will bankrupt the country and del
,:ge it W'th blood.”
The New Atlantic table.
Active preparations for laying the new
Atlantic cable next summer are making iti
England. As at present arranged, the Great
Eastern will carry the new cable, will lay it to
Newfoundland, will there coal and return to
the mid-Atlantic, where she will, with her
consorts, grapple for the lost end. the locality
of which can be ascertained within a quarter
of a mile, through the observations taken lust
summer by Capt. Anderson and Capt. Moriar
ty. It is not intended that the part of the
old cable which now lies on the Great Eastern's
tank.* shall he again stowed in her hold on the
outward trip. It will he carried in another
veSsel until it is needed.
When the end is recovered and a message
sent through to Valentia as a test of the elect
rical condition, the splice will be made with
the cable now lying in the Great Eastern, and
then all will be plain sailing, except in case of
another accident similar to that of last year,
when all would have to be done over again;
but this would he the worst damage.
If one grappling is successful, there is no
reason why a second should not be, and even a
third and fourth, if it should come to that
The laying of the old cable may therefore be
considered a certainty, so far as anything
about cable laying can be considered certain.
But hope deferred will probably not make sick
the hearts of shareholders beyond next July.
The new cable which is to be laid first, is
very different in appearance from that of 18G5.
That was black, but not at all comely. This
is fair to see, in point of color, but rough
withal, and fibrey—to coin a word for the oc
casion. But, save that there is no dark com
position soaked in the manilla hemp which
forms the covering of the enter wires, this
cable is identical with the last. So far, how
ever, as strength goes, the new rope will bear
a strain ^f from 15 cwt, to a ton more than
that of the last. About 100 miles of the new
cable have been already made, and when all
the machinery id set to work, as it soon will
be, the manufacture wilt proceed at the rate
of 100 miles per week.

Frcit Destroyed in Northern Ohio.—The
Sandusky. Register says : ‘‘The warm wea
ther immediately preceding the cold snap,
caused the peach buds to swell to such a degree
that when the cold spell came they were killed.
It is thought by competent judges that the
peach crop will be an entire failure throughout
this section of the country. Cherries have
also been greatly damaged, and with the ex
ception of a few varieties, the buds are des
troyed.” The Toledo Blade says; “We coDr
versed a day or two ago with a gentleman of
experience in fruit growing who has made ex
tensive observations. He informs us that he
has no doubt the peach crop in this vicinity is
entirely destroyed.”
Taxing Cotton.—At various times we have
received the intimation from Washington to
the effect that Congress would levy an export
tax on cotton of five cents a pound. The
Revenue Commission would desire it. There
is only one difficulty in the way, and that is
that the Constitution expressly forbids the
levy of such a tax.
His Supporters.—According to the roost re
liable information we can obtain,the following
distinguished Republicans suport the Presi
dent :
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State
lion. Wm. Dennison. Postmaster General.
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury,
Hon. G. D Cox, Governor of Ohio.
Reve. Henry Ward Beecher, of Plymouth
Church, Brookland.
Senators Crown, Morgan, Norton, Van Win
kle, W'iley, Doolittle, Dixon and Stuart, all
Republicans.
—While in New Orleans, Mrs Davis, wife
of the illustrious ex- President of the late Con
federate States, spent a few minutes inside the
bar of the House of Representatives. The
Crescent says the members, generally, were
not aware of the visit until she had retired.
Those who had the honor of her acquaintance
paid their respects to her with the marked
deference due to eminent personal worth, and
in a manner suggestive of deep sympathy with
the family in its present unhappy situation.
—General W. J. Harder has, at the request
of General Grant and Sherman, received
from President Johnson an assurance that he
may continue in the pursuit of civil life without
fear of molestation by the United States au
thorities.
-A large portion of the winter wheat
crop in the vicinity of St. Joseph, Missouri,
has been severely injured. Some of the fann
