DES ARC, ARKANSAS:
Saturday Morning, Jane 32, D6<~.
Our neighbor, after haring replied
to our last in liis usual manner, takes
an imposing attitude—his dignity is
offended, man—and says he will have
no more controversy with us in words,
lie intimates that there is an argument
of another kind, that it might eml in
something sharp. We have ever, when
duty called us, been ready to respond;
nor have wc yet claimed the privileges
of a non-combatant, and shall-halt!
we had better not be too fast. Ain't
that them right over there 1 ltoys, our
gnu is out of order; it wont shoot. j
we'll have to go to the rear.
districtmSourt.
On the 6th of July next the people
of Prairie county will be called upon
to vote whether or not we shall have a
District Court at Dos Arc. We have
called attention to this matter before,
and wc do so again. It is n matter in
which every citir.cn in the county is in
terested, and by which not one is in
jured. The people of this section
claim a court for the convenience of
this portion of the county. The people
of the western and central portion of
the county will surely not object to
this Court, for it will not interfere in
any degree witli their wishes, conven
ience or designs. We would impress
upon the people the importance af ac
tion in Hie manner. Let it be consid
ered, and let tho people on the 6th of
July vote for a District Court at Dcs
Arc, if they have their own interest at
heart.
The Board of Registration began
their work on yesterday and will con
tinue at this place for live days, when
they will go to Hickory Plain, Austin,
and the other precincts of the county,
giving time and notice at each place.
All who have carefully examined the
condition of tilings, and have taken an
unprejudiced view of the situation,
must have concluded that to register
is our policy, and that it is a policy
which should be pressed till every man
who can lias armed himself with a vote
~ — ....*
which will certainly he heaped upon
•c< us if we allow ourselves—the interested
citizens of Aakansas—to fall into the
minority. No thinking man will
doubt for a moment that if we will
adopt this plan we can, notwithstand
ing the influence that will be brought
to bear against ns, keep the balance of
State power in our own hands ; that is,
in the hands of those who by birth,
by citizenship, and by interest, arc en
titled to its management and capacita
ted tor its administration. If we
would have our State escape the wo fill
condition of Tennessee or Missouri; if
we would have any voice in the admin
istration of our State government, we
should register and prepare ourselves
to express at the ballot box our prefer
ences and views. Let every man in
the county, so far as it can be done,
meet the commissioners, register, and
prepare himselt to vote iu the coming
election. As regards the convention
for the purposes set forth iu the bill,
we will not pretend to advise the peo
ple ; they must exercise their own
judgment in this matter. Itut if they
look to ns for advice, we say register
and vote ; if Cor a convention, for such
men as will do honor to the State and
justice to ail. Otherwise no conven
tion.
Let its build a school house; and
again we say, let us build n school
house. N'e have written much upon
this subject, yet we have not written
enough. Kvery man in Des Arc is di
rectly interested iu the cause of educa
tion. Kvery man iu giving expression
to his sentiment admits its importance
and sees its necessity : yet it must be
said of Des Arc, which cannot he said
of any town of its pretensions in the
State—her people have no school house,
have taken no stops toward building
up a seat of learning ; the cause of ed
ucation flnds no active advocate within
her boundaries. Why is this i' why is
it that our citizens will engage iu other
enterprises of less importance and fail
iuthis? Why is it that thinking men
will persist by their inactivity iu that
course time 60 greatly injures us at
home and speaks out against us abroad.
IV e have said and we say again, if wc
would have Des Arc a city, if we would
really prove ourselves interested in the
building up of our town, wc must have
a school house; we cannot aB'oid to sit
down and do nothiug; now is the
time for action. Des Arc is filled with
children; wc have teachers in our
midst, but where shall they teach?
they occupy their houses at the pleas
ure of those to whom tlie property be
longs, and were they to say nay where
is our remedy? As guardians, as cit
izens, we ask the people when your
teachers are turned out. denied the
privilege of teaching in churches and
private houses, what are you going to
do? send your children ofl-, perhaps?
may he not send them to school at all.
Shame, shame on people of Des Arc,
that it can be said they look not suffi
ciently to their own interest and the
interest of their children, .lust now.
when many of the best men of the
whole country are thrown out from
home and place by political upheaving,
many eyes arc turned toward Arkan
sas; and from Missouri, Tennessee,
and the older States, men are coining
lo our State for a home. Des Are
suits them ; its location is fine, its ad
vantages arc great. They like our
mills, our churches argue for us. hut
when they ask for our school houses
where is our, answer? what can wc
say? It is time for us to go to work
iu earnest in this matter. Our advan
tages of situation will not make a city.
If wc would attract the intelligent
classes, if wo really desire that they
make their homes with us we must
have educational inducements; wc
iinot give Hie settler not only n home,
liut a place to educate his children.
I'his we cannot do now, and until we
'an do it we need not expert to im
prove in population, wealth or morals.
We must have n school house or give
up our hopes or future greatness.
TRIP 58 OFTHE COMMERCIAL.
Memphis, T*n\- June 17, 1867.
I'.ditor CtTtnx:—1 drop yon a few
lines in haste lYom this point ; we had. 1
us we anticipated, quite a pleasant trip |
on that “same old reliable,"—and nl-|
ways up to time—Steamer Commercial. ]
This boat reminds one who lias traveled i
on her, of an old Mexican dollar, that
shines the brighter the more it is used.
Capt. Billy Ashford is commanding her
for the present, and no one on White ,
river that has ever traveled on a steam
er commanded by him. need he told j
that he is “the right man in the right
place ;” as a steamboat Captain he is in j
the superlative degree, and ttie polite I
accommodating Clerks of tills boat are
in the double comparative, if not super
lative degree.
We left l>cs Arc on the 15th inst., at
6 a. m., and glided smoothly down the
river, rounded to at Devall's Bluff,
waited for the train from Little Rock,
and as soon as we heard the whistle, it
was answered by the boats bell ; quite
a crowd of nice,- genteel passengers
were soon aboard, when again (lie hell
taps, and we are off on that, crooked
stream, rounding (he points, gracefully
turning the zigzag curves of the river
gorgeously fringed with velvet green,
that seemed to flout on either side, as if
the dense forest on one side, was vicing
with the other. Nothing specially
worthy of note occurred while thread
ing along down White river. We
landed at every point that peeped out
above the]water; Clarendon was about
half in and half out of the water, the
half that was out seemed to be sunning
itself. At Aberdeen we stopped to
take on a lot of beef cattle, line, large
and fat ; the process of getting the cat
tle aboard was fun-to the passengers,
but labor for the mate and hands. At
Cascoe a storm overtook us, and ns
usual, produced a little stir and anxie
ty; the wind was light hut the rain
heavy. Night came on with clouds and
rain, and “darkness dwelt upon the
face of the deep.” A dense crowd of
passengers thronged the cabin till the
usual hour for sleep, and we slept.
uu tne tout at eariy uuwn, wo jook
out upon the deep muddy waters of the
broad Mississippi rolling rapidly; this
river wo have often seen, but never been
able to describe it; and to him who lias
not seen it, description is a mere ideal
ism. with all its points, chutes, tow
heads, sandbars, and carpeted isles,
that seem floating in the distance, like
oases on the great Sahara.
The morning of the 16th was bright,
and the breeze cool and balmy. We
met the Steamer Richmond at 0 o'clock,
and had a line view of that splendid
boat, as she passed gracefully down the
great thoroughfare of floating palaces.
It is the sabbath on the Mississippi
river, and everybody seems to be read
ing the bible, or newspapers, or history,
or novels, ns best suits the taste of the
reader, while tlie day is not only love
ly hut the loveliest.
But 1 know you will expect me to
say something about the lady passen
gers, and this 1 would most willingly
and cheerfully do, hut they arc to me
like the Mississippi river indescriiia
bi.e. 1 think, they are all fine and look
as fresh and gay as a garden of roses
with pendant dew drops reflecting the
early .lays of a May day morning. At
noon ltith we have just passed Friar's
Point—touched the landing—learned
that the cholera or cholerine as they
call it, is quite bad in and around this
place; three were buried here yester
day, (16th.) We were told there laid
been some fifty eases of this scourge in
and about Friar's Point within the past
four weeks and fourteen or fifteen
deaths; also told that no other place
on the river had been visited by the
cholera up to this time. The popula
tion in and about Friar's Point is 200
or 250—this looks a little squally so
early in Hie season. 2'., o'clock we are
at Helena, that is, what is left ol' it
tVom caving into the river. The Mis
sissippi river lias confiscated and unto
itself appropriated a portion of Helena
that once bordered upon the levee.
Helena will have ultimately to go to
the hills or into the river, for this
mighty stream mocks at artificial marks
and bounds, and respects no rights of

The Crisis.
A crisis is coming again The morn '
ing that will break soon must waken the
nation from the horrid nightmare of the
past two years, or witness her. a chained
maniac, in the bedlam of political madness,
if the amazing progress of usurpation as
a systematic practice, is not arrested in
the South with swill and striking facility,
it will Infect and subdue the North. The
ascendancy of mural principle and rational
consistence connot bo measured by the
spirit with which one defends his own
rights; but the sole tests is the zeal with
which we defend those of others. I ir
ginia saw in the Boston port billot 17 1> n
blow at the principle which made her
own chief security, and without unfriendly
deeds toward herself, she called her
statesmen to counsel and her riflemen to
arms, though site was to Massachntts as a
separate nation. \\ ili Boston see in
Hichmoud a trial of her own safety ? i
Will she realize that a city under the,
heel of a despot is simply the case of a ,
city without foreign help? Did Massa
chusetts establish her liberty ? What j
must have happened Boston if colonies
safe from British aggressions had not
bared their bosom with hers ?
It is fearfully dangerous to ignore prin
ciple in indulging party passion, zeal for
reform, or advocacy of public measures.
Principle is the cohesion of civil order,
and when ignored abroad, it can not be
saved at borne. Principles in the heav
ens keeps each planet in its orbit, and, in
society, each person in bis. If it could
slacken above, worlds would tumble into
ruin and the universe pass away. On ,
earth, anarchy is the result.
Mon who believe these truths will shud
der if they think what consequences may j
follow a fatal indulgence of military con
tempt of law. No longer wo inveigh;
against particular outrages. We deplore ;
the disastorous prevalence of a growing
insensibility to outrage, so that by becorn
ing so common and familiar, the must
presumptuous and lawless usurpations and
oppressions are destitute of novelty enough j
to incur the name of outrage, a term under-;
stood as applying to something extraordi
nary. The people arc drowsing with dull
inattention over daily bulletins, the most
inconsiderable of which seven years ago
would have shaken every community in
the Union, and kindled indignation in
every face of excited groups collected in
our hamlets from Maine to Texas, by the
mutual astonishment of freemen that
arrogance so high-handed would dare
show its tcetli ou our shores.
The time is commingwhcn the people
must reflect upon and realize these terrible
tendencies : nr else, if thev do not. and
that speedily, the time will come in the
North that revolts will be stirred up as
pretexts for usurpations—that exciting
new outbreaks, and they, in turn author
izing new oppressions. A negro military
police would then complete the work,
preside over elections, enforce military
orders, and levy contributions. Two
parties would be in (ho country—those
who adhered to the tie facto government,
and those who did not. The compulsory
business of the mass of the former would
do to support their leader in proscribing
the latter. Consider, render, whether
there is not something in this to reflect
upon —[National Entelligeneor.]
The Radicals Preparing for a South
ern Campaign.
There was a meeting last week, us we are
informed by Forney’s I’ress, in Washing
ton City, of several members of the Na
tional Republican Committee, and u
quotum of the Congressional Luton Re
publican Committee, to take into consider
ation the policy to be pursued to protect
the interests and develops the strength of
the Radical party in the Southern States.
We are told the discussions were har
monious and friendly throughout, and
that on the great questions of the conduct
of the national campaign and the more
specific work of thoroughly and systemati
cally canvassing the South, there was
evinced perfect concord and unison.
"Efficient and energetic measures will
soon he perfected for the dissemination
of republican principles and arguments
throughout that section of our land so
long closed to mails, newspapers and free
speech.” This meeting it is said, will
result in a call for a meeting of the Na
tional Committee at an early day.
From such facts as these, which show
the activity prevailing in the Radical party
and their determination to obtain the
political control of the Southern States,
the friends of the South may learn what
they are to expect. The efforts of the
Radicals to enlighten that benighted re
gion will of course chiefly be directed
toward the blicks. Upon them they rely j
lor the consummation of their schemes. I
As their plans all contemplate the deg
radation ou the white man, they have i
nothing to hope from them. Only the
few who are base enough to sacrifice their
honor and barter their country for the
hope of a little official plunder, will be
influenced by any argument they can
make; hut the danger is that they will so
poison the minds of the blacks, and
arouse the indienution of the whites, that
a state of things will he produced which
will insult in tumults and collisions of the
most fearful and bloody character. Their
success depends upon exciting ill feeling I
between the races, in making the negroes
believe that the whites who have raised,
led and clothed them from childhood,
cared for them in sickness and in health,
are their natural foes, and this impression
they will labor to create, carels-s of the
terrible consequences that may result
The Radicals have already exposed their
hand, and if the people of the South, thus
forewarned, do not take steps to counter
act their machinations the fault will be
their own—[Louisville Courier.

A Sr. Louis Rklic — A correspondent
of the Cincinnati! Commercial, writing
from St. Louis, says :
‘•While walking through the city. I
came upon the oldest house in its limits.
This ragged and rib showing old structure
stands on the uorthwest corner of Third
aud Plum streets, where it was erected
nearly a century ago. It is a one story,
high shouldered relic, looking as if the
countless rains that pelted the flagging
near by had stealthily driven it a foot or
two deeper into the earth. Perpendicular
hewed logs, chinked in with lime stone
and mortar, compose its sides, while from
the center of the roof towers a stone chim
ney with one immense rude flue. Of the
original building nothing probably remains
save the hewed logs and the chimney, but
these are so palpably things of the last
century that no one with a drop of anti
quarian reverence in his nature can resist
the temptation to stop and muse over the
mutations of the hundred years that have
scarred and blackeued them where they
stand. Wheu they wore tirst shaped
into a cabin, the silo of Cincinnati was
an unbroken wilderness; St. Louis, itself,
a Frunoh hamlot; and tho thirteen colouies
struggling for independence.”

stant leakage of extravagance and mis- j
management; and more is spent in trifles
than women would easily believe. The
one great expense, whatever it may he is
turned over and carefully reflected on the !
income is prepared to meet it; hut it is
pennies imperceptibly sliding away which
do mischief; and the wife alone can stop
for it docs not come within a man’s pro
vince. There is often an unsuspected
trifle to he saved in every household.
It. is not. in economy alone that the
wife's attention is so necessary, but in
those niceties which make a well-regulated
house An unfurnished eruetstaud. a
missing key, a buttonless shirt, a soiled
table cloth, a mustard pot with its old
contents shaking hard ami down about it,
are realy nothings, but each can raise an
angry word and cause discomfort. De

mestic happiues about a well dressed
mutton chop, or a tidy breakfast table.
Men grow sated of beauty. Tired of
music, are often too wearied for conver

always appreciate a well-swept hearth aud

A woman may love her husband de
votedly—may sacrifice fortune, friends,
family, country, for him—she may have
the genius of a Sappho, the cnchauted
beauties of an Armtda : but melancholy
fact—If with these she fails to make his
home comfortable his heart will inevitably
escape her. And woman live so entirely
in the affections, that without love their
existence is void. Better submit, then to
household tasks, howcvfr repugnant they
may be to your tastes, than to doom your
self to a loveless home. Women of a
higher order of mind will not run their
risk; they know that their feminine,
their domestic, are their first duties.
Lying in Bed.—It is often a question
among people who arc acquainted with
the anatomy and physiology of man.
whether lying with head exalted or level

own case on this point, argue in favor of
