The Constitutional Union,
_W. II. UilEA, Editor.
DES ARC, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1J, 1861.
Tiie Kdilorof tliis paper lias been unavoid
ably detained in Memphis on business, and
will not be back before the first of next week.
We are are alone again this week, so vre hope
our readers will be indulgent.
A BITL has passed err State Legislature
forbidding free negroes to remain in the State
under the penalty of being s?>ld into slavery.
This is as it should be, fur they are a pest and
constant source of trouble to cur citizens.
Under this law the free negro is allowed to
choose a master, without his having to pay
one-half his value into the Treasury, but it
places the free negro on the same footing with
other slaves. This act goes into effect at once.
The State Convention.
We learn from Little Rock that the Li”
fur the election of members to a State Conven
tion, after having passed the House, was
killed in the Senate. Report says that one of
the Senators made a telling speech in opposi
tion to the bill, appealing to their patriotism,
and demanding of them how they could so
perjure themselves, after having sworn to sup
port the Constitution of the United States, as
vote for a call to de-troy it.
The Memphis and Little Rock Railroad.
We learn with pleasure that the Legislature
has passed a bill authorizing a loan of §100.
000 to the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad
Company, to aid the Company in completing
the road. This sum is appropriated out of
the fund donated by Congress to aid improve
ments in this State, and is to be secure 1 by
the bonds of the Company payable to the
State ten years from date, hearing interest
at eight per cent, and al.-o by a mortgage <_ n the
Road. AVe have no doubt but that the Road
will he rapidly hastened to completion, and iu
running order by this time next year. Ry
such acts as this the people of our State
may hope to prosper, rather than by wasting
their resources in the horrors of civil war.

Telegraph Reports.
AVe sec that the press all ot or the c unt-y
are uttering complaint.', loud and deep, at the
telegraphic reports received by them. One
day we arc told that the city of New York
intends to sm/e from the State.—that
a Senator of the United State- meets another
in the streets of Washington, and without
ceremony shoots him like a g—that Si'err.
with the whole power of the < iovernment. has
gone to Charleston, to lay it waste with fire
and sword, and many others equally impn fa
ble. A day or two after cane- a contradic
tion of these reports, which leave- the public as
! much mystified as before. Now, who is re
sponsible for all these b/ ui<b and what are
they made for? Is it not plain that the lines
are in the hands of the politicians, who arc
making use of them lbr political <mds ? bid
such errors occur in the reports six months
ago? Suppose you wore to <••! _g-:r.h to New
Orleans to learn the state of the maria t there,
or anywhere else on private business, do you
think you would getau incorrect answer ? No,
for that would avail nothing. Tim oii.lv relia
ble accounts oi‘ the state of affair- in other -ac
tions of the country is through the press. No
dependence can be placed on the telegraph
while in the hands of the ambitious dema
gogues, who would rejoice over the destruc
tion of this our common country.

Larry Harms tad state that the Arkansas
river packet Frontier City, sunk in the
Arkansas river, sixty miles a' ve Xupok m.
Arkansas, at Smith's cut-off, last Friday

REPORT OF OEX. HARXEY RELATIVE
TO ilOXTGOMERY'S KANSAS RAID.
Washington', Pecem'ber2G.
The Secretary of War to-day received the
following dispatch from Gen. Ilarney. It
| contains all the principal facts connected with
Montgomery’s raid, and throws some light in
j regard to the objects and purposes of the
' funds that are being collected lor bleeding
Kansas:
Headquahtees Pep't of mr West, \
St. Leris, Mo., Pec. 17,aSG0. >
Slit:—I have the honor to report, for the
information of the \V ar Department, that as
soon as the civil authorities could procure
writs for the apprehension of Montgomery
and others of his band, I ordered Captain
Barry’s command, two companies of artillery
mounted as cavalry, to proceed with the U. S.
Deputy Marshal, Campbell, to Mound City,
j where the baud was thought to be, to make
the arrests. This was on the Gth of this
month, the command from Fort Riley having
arrived there the day before.
On the arrival of the Marshal, he proeeed
1 ed at once to make search for the offenders,
i but they were nowhere to be found. Sup
ported by a company of dragoons, under Cap
| tain Steele, he continued the search until a
late hour of the night, but every place visited
was found deserted. The next morning he
visited the house of Montgomery, and found
only four women and a son of Montgomery.
This house, known as Montgomery’s Fort, is
a double bouse, built of heavy logs, the roof
one of projecting over like a block house, the
other of heavy hewn logs, fitting close to
gether. except at about the bight of a man s
shoulder there is an opening of about two
inches all around. The only things ot note
in the house, except its filth, were two empty
Sharpe's rifle boxes.
On the 8th, the Marshal having reported
to Major Wessells that lie deemed it of no
use, and would discontinue the search, the
' baud having scattered,! directed the artillery
| to return to Fort Leavenworth, the infantry
! , • a Til i , .. 1 *L . .1.
iu juiiiuuj at »tv*iiiv.i v
to take post at Fort Scott. I consider this
force necessary for the protection ol the citi
zens, and to assist the civil authorities when
ever called upon to assist in arresting the
offenders.
1 have determined, on account of the ex
pense of maintaining so large a force in that
part of the Territory, to reduce it to one com
pany of infantry, and have, therefore, di
rected Major Wessells to return at once to
Fort Riley with his company, (’apt. Lyon is
ordered to relieve the squadron of dragoons
at Fort Scott as soon as the payments on the
Miami Indian reserve, which he has been or
dered to attend with his company, arc com
pleted. The dragoons will then return to
Fort Riley.
I believe that Montgomery’s band i< fully
as large as represented to be j that they are
sworn to protect each otic by perjury, assas
sination. and in every way possible. 1 heir
object is, as declared publicly by themselves,
to protect fugitive slaves in the Territory, to
assist them to run away whenever an oppor
tunity offers, •• taking them East, and receiv
ing sixty dollars per head,” and to drive out
of the Territory all who oppose them in so
doing. A k rge portion of the population on
the border either belongs to this organization
or sympathizes with them, and those who do
not, dare not oppose them.or give information
concerning them. I am satisfied that the
greater part, if not all. of the donations
which are sent to sufferers in Kansas, goes
into the hands of this hand, and the greater
portion of it is perverted from the use intend
j ed by purchasing arms and munitions of war
for carrying out their plans. It would take a
large force to break up this band.
Montgomery lias a regularly organized band
of about sixty men. who receive ten dollars
per mouth, beside a portion of the robberies,
etc., and also spies and runners all over the
j country, who give him timely notice of any
movement set against him. The day before
the troops reached Mound < 'ity, Montgomery's
men, to the number of between four hundred
or live hundred, assembled and passed resolu
tions. a copy of which has been published in
the black republican papers. 1 think the best
and cheapest way to catch Montgomery and
his party will be to furnish the (loverner with
funds, and let him do it in his own way.
Relieving that I could render no more ser
vice by remaining longer at my headquarters
in this city, 1 accordingly left Fort Scott on
the morning of the 11th, and arrived hereon
Saturday evening last, the loth instant.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, W. S. HARNEY,
lirisr. Gen. comd'g.

The Present and tiie Future.—The
Louisville Journal, in an article on the new
year, it the close of it has the following:
•• Rut beyond and behind the clouds we
can detect % little patch of clear sky. from
I whence we may, by the blessings of Provi
I deuce, in time see the glorious beams of pa
! cification shining; hut at present theexpecta
lion is as i'aint as the echo of a whisper. The
j intelligence of the people, if they will take
these matters out of the hands of the politi
1 clans, will bring peace and repose to the coun
try. To the people of the l nion is sacred,
the Constitution, the ark of our lathers’ cove
nant, and the Federal Government, a glorious
creation of the wisdom of our early patriots
and sages; hut factionists are imperilling the
l nion, fools and traitors are laying polluted
hands on the ark, while imbecility and cow
ardice in the Executive chair arc bringing
the government into contempt and endanger

know their power and exorcise it? When
will they he prepared, in their might and ma
jesty, to rebuke these schemes, crush the trai

ists ? The l'nion of the People for the sake
of the Union ; a stirring up of all the foun

demanded. Let these be accomplished, and

A GAINST SECESS1 OX.
Thomas J. Spear, Esq., of New Orleans,
thus briefly but forcibly gives bis views
against secession :
1st. I do not see any sufficient good cause
to dissolve the Union, or to break up the
Constitution of the United States of Ameri
ca, without first ascertaining if there is not a
remedy by which we can settle all the object
ionable difficulties now existing between the
North and South as regards the slavery
question.
2d. I believe the best mode of proceeding
is, that a convention of all the Southern
States should be called together, and as many
of the border States interested bo invited to
join, to co-operate, and that convention to
aeree upon some plan of action to be sub
mitted to the Northern States for their con
sideration. Should they reject the proposals
offered them for their approval, then it will
be time enough for this convention to pass
such other resolutions as they may deem
necessary for the general interest of the
Southern States, and to be submitted to the
people for their approval afterwards.
2d. 1 object to separate secession on these
grounds; lbr, should Louisiana or any State
accede from the Union, she would relinquish
all her just rights to the general interest in
the present government property, either in
or out of Louisiana.
4th. I am convinced that the State of
Louisiana or any other States are not pre
pared to purchase all the public buildings,
forts, arsenals, guns and ainuuition for self- '
defence in case of invasion, which those ;
States are inevitably bound to do it they in
tend to form new governments.
5th. It is my belief that, inasmuch as South
Carolina has seceded from the l. nion, our
! sister States should pause a little to await the
j issue between that State and the (loneral
j (ioverument, and on this depends the fate ul
i the whole Southern States.
| (jth. It is my candid belief that if the peo
i pie of all the Southern States would become
1 unite 1. and meet in concert with the few d:«
utieete 1 abolition Mates m tnc Aorui. mat an
amicable settlement might he entered into to
act in concert in the whole l nion as hereto
fore, or if not succeeding in this, a seporate
separation could lie broug lit about in a Irieudly
manner, and a fair division ot all the govern
ment property made between the North and
South, after which let the largest number ol
States combined retain the National (juvern
uient as it now exists.
These are my sentiments, and they should
he the same with all true American-, he they
native-born or adopted, which were the true
sentiments and principles of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence of these l nited'
States, and ap’ oved by (leu. (leorge Wash
ington. the father of this beautiful Cnion.
I believe, in my heart, that there cannot he
found in the State of Louisiana a single iudi
! viduul, who i- a true American at heart and
has any interest for her welfare, but that will
scorn the idea of vot ing her out of the 1 nion
before co-operating with other States in the
j South and the border States. In conclusion.
; I hope that the ushering in of the new year
J will commence with a speedy termination of
j all the difficulties now agitating the people of
I the American continent, and peace, health
i and prosperity will continue to reign through
j out the land of our beloved country, and the
1 right hand of fellowship and interchanges of
| friendly good feelings extended to each other.
' as all true Americans have done heretofore.

The Dicmtv or Manhood.—The Legis
lature of North Carolina—the " good old
| North State”—in the act of calling a Conveu
I tion of the people, decrees as follows:
“No ordinance of said convention, dis
solving the connection of the State ol North
Carolina with the Federal (lovernment, or
connecting it with any other, shall have any
! force or validity until if tin ill hnr L<< n .111/1

j tjmi/ifiiil rn> r.-i of tin Stuff lor momhers ot

How such a calm and deliberate course of
proceeding contrasts with the precipitate
action of some of our other Southern Legish
lures! it is the dignity of matured manhood,
J in juxta-position with the impetuous rashness
! of a hasty and passionate hoy. North Caro

1 The others, to which we have referred, hate
the Cnion, and would wish to destroy it.

blood and treasure to build it up. 77o// have
reeei d it as a legacy, that, with the reckless

! R0POSIT1ON TO .MARK TWO MATES Ol I
of Virginia.—The people of the eastern
and western portions of \ irginia are almost
is different in their ideas as natives of South
Carolina and New England. Several propo
sitions have recently been talked over to
divide the State. It is understood that a
new movement has been set on foot in the
northwestern part of that State, for the pur
pose of calling a convention of the people to
take into consideration the expediency if
separating from Virginia in ease of her with
I drawing from the l nion to join in the form
ation of'a Southern Confederacy. '1 he lead
ers in this revolutionary scheme contemplate
the erection of a new State, embracing that
portion of Virginia lying west of the Blue
Ridge, and destined to include as many coun
ties east of said line, along the upper IV
tomac year it, as may be induced by identity
of interest, to co-operate in the project.
Considerations of an economical character,
determined partly by the arrangements of
the present constitution of Virginia, (deemed
by many in the western part of the State to
be unequal in respect to the rates and objects
of taxation,) are represented to be at the
bottom of the popular movement, which
awaits only the opportunity and pretext to
i assumed formidable proportions.
Making Foreign Cold Coins a Legal
Tender.—We learn from the New York
papers that some of the bankers of that city
have made application to the Treasury l)c
i partment at Washington, and also to Mows,
j Hunter of the Senate, and Sherman of the
House, to obtain the re-enactment of the act
j of 1S43, (since repealed,) making sovereigns,
} doubloons and Napoleons, a legal tender, so
j that the imports of gold can be used at once
J on their arrival in this country. The value
of the sovereigns under the old act was about
84 77.7 j it is proposed to make them current
at a rate less the seignorage of half of one per
j cent, for coinage, so that there would be no
loss to the Treasury if they were left on the
I hands of the government. The parties applied
to are said to have forwarded a favorable
response; and it is presumed that a bill will
be introduced through the respective Con
gressional committees to carry out the
object.
