■ Prairie County Circuit Court.— Our
Circuit Court, Hon. J. J. Clendewin, pre
siding, assembled at Brownsville on Monday
last. The charge to the Grand Jury occupied
near two hours, and was replete with the kind
of information usually given on such occasions.
His Honor dwelt with peculiar force upon the
selling of the ruinous drug, known as whisky,
and proved beyond a doubt, that Arkansas is
the receptacle of the “basest stuff” of that
character, now known to fallen man. The
following is a list of the Grand Jury. Our
townsman, G. W. Vaden, Esq., was selected

; Pigeon Roost near Des Arc. Ark.—lVe
Understand from the officers of the E. M. Ry
larid that there is a pigeon roost just back of
Des Arc, and that millions upon millions of
these strange birds are desolating the country
for miles around. The denizens of that lo
•Cality are slaughtering them by thousands, and
the Hyland brought to this city yesterday over
•five thousand of them, which were killed
with sticks and clubs by the cabin boys of the
Boat.
Xl We clip the above from the Memphis Ava
lanche of the 22d inst. The pigeon roost
Spoken of is situated some twenty-three miles
ifouth-west of Des Arc. Instead of “desola
ting the country for miles around,” the pi
geo Vs have enriched “the country for miles
Broun 1!” A number of our citizens have
visited the roost during the past few weeks,
■and brought home thqjisands of pigeons. As

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 21.—The augmen
tation of the United States troops for the
Rio Grande is explained by the belief that
Spain, France and England will imme
diately take such measures as will obtain
satisfaction for claims due their subjects.
This movement would involve the national
existence of Mexico, or the substitution of
a monachy under the protection of these
powers. In this event the United States
may teel constrained to occupy me norin
ern states of Mexico to obtain satisfaction
for the claims of our citizens, and for their
security on the frontier. It is expected
that some of the vessels attached to the
Home Squadron will soon proceed to Vera
Cruz and other Mexican ports.
The War Department countermanded
to-day the order for six companies from
Fort Monroe, and five companies from
Fort Leavenworth. These troops were
recently ordered to Brownsville, Texas,
but their presence now is not deemed ne
cessary. _

Richmond, Va., Nov. 20.—It is stated
upon reliable authority, that the movement
of troops towards Charleston is more to
quiet the alarmed population of the upper
counties than from the fear of the approach
of armed bodies for the purpose of rescu
ing Brown. >

Marked Cards.— A Lesson for
"Green-Horns."—A party of thieves were
arrested in Rochester, N. Y., a few days
ago. The Democrat says:
Among the articles found on the prison
ers above referred to, were two packs of
playing cards, accompanied by the follow
ing directions, which we p'int for the ben
efit of such deluded persons as are occa
sionally tempted to take hand* against
gamblers. The first is a printed slip, ap
parently sent by the manufacturers of the
cards to the black-leg purchasers. It reads
thus:
"For Size—Place the four aces, kings,
queens, &c., together. Loo!, at the place
marked ‘size.’ On the sample card sent
with this you will observe that there is a
variation in each figure, cemmencing with
the ace, and so on to the duce. When
learned, each card can be told aa well by
by the back as the face.”
Another piece of paper containing addi
tional directions, read as follows:
"These are marked on the spread prin
ciple. There is a wider space between
the bars at the place marked 1 fdr the
aces, at 2 for the kings, at 3 for queen, at
4 for jacks, &c., down to the 2 spots.
Learn well before playing.”
They have a swift-footed police in New
Haven. One of them a few mornings
since ran five miles in twenty-two minutes
in pursuit of a prisoner.
Heavy Ba il.—Dr. Boyd, the travelling
peddler, has been held to bail in the sum
of $6,000, in Washington city, for steal
ing slaves.
