A Few Words of Warning.
Prairie Coontt, August 13, 1860.
Editor Citizen—Dear Sir After read
ing the account in the papers of the depreda
tions of the hell-hound abolitionists in Texas
our citizens will no doubt take into consider
ation the loose discipline exerted upon oui
negroes. I have farmed for several years, anc
in different States, but never in my life saw
such a perfectly uncontrolled neighborhood oi
slaves in my life—others can say the same
each farmer in Prairie County can take it
home to himself. Our negroes are allowed to
tramp the county over with no pass, and if
they have one, no one ever demands it. There
is certainly a patrol in every neighborhood,
but what use are they? With such facts be
fore us as are related in aforesaid article, can
we rest satisfied to let such a loose state of
discipline exist? can we rest easy. When there
is even a probability of such calamities befall
ing us? or more particular upon those far
more dear to us, our wives, our children?—
Who can tell, unless there are some to watch,
when the hell-hounds will be in our midst?
are they not driven from Texas? and where
could they find a country so suitable to their
designs as Arkansas, if our sister counties are
generally as negligent about such matters as
ourselves? Prevention is better than cure,
and after due consideration, we sincerely trust
that every patrol will be more zealous in per
formance of duty, and if they will persist in
being as negligent as they have been, then
each community should take the matter in
hand. No farmer should allow his negroes to
go off his place without a written pass, and
stragglers found outside of their masters fence
should be taught not to do so again in plain
and unmistakeable terms, in the old fashioned
way, I am yours,
A FARMER.

DIED :
Suddenly, in Des Arc, on the night of the
16th inst., Capt. Arthur Beatty, in the
67th year of his age.
Capt. Beatty was a native of Rockbridge
county, Va. He wa3 a resident of Memphis,
Tenn., near fifteen years, and some eighteen
months since removed.to Des Arc. He was in
every sense an honest man—a true and devoted
Christian. A consistent and exemplary mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church, his death has
left a void among his brethren that will be
hard to fill. A soldier in the war of 1812 to
1815, he was entrusted with the discharge of
high and important duties, by Gen. Jackson,
and “knew no such word as fail” in carrying
out the orders of his commander. His remains
were interred on Friday last, followed to their
last resting place by a large number of our
citizens. The funeral services were attended
to by Rev. D. L. Gray'.
