^DES A.KO:
SATURDAY.JUNE 6, 1868.
We received per last mail the first
number of the White Biver Journal,
published at Devall's Bluff Ark. in the
Interest of the Republican party, by
Messrs. Bancroft & Holt, editors and
proprietors. It is a neatly printed pa
per of seven columns to the page, and
we wish the proprietors success in all
things save their politics.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the fact that they can exchange
corn for meal at any time, at the Dcs Are
Mills.
|^~We arc glad to find among onr
exchanges the Dixie Farmer, a very
neatly conducted agricultural paper
of sixteen pages, published weekly at
Columbia, and Nashville, Temi. The
subscription price is £3._
tear-We are in recepit of tho Juno]
number of Packard's Monthly, a mag
azine devoted to the interest of the
young men of the country, published
in New York City. The present num
ber contains articles from Mr. (Jreely,
Barton and other great writers, and is
quite an interesting work.

—We call the attention of our readers
again to this wonderful remedy, which
combines within ilself sterling attri
butes—its unparalleled success in the
rapid and permanent cure of cholera,
cholera morbus, diarrhea, and all bowel
affections, have brought out many imi
tators who are endeavoring to supplant
this old friend aud well-tried medicine.

about our neighbor town, Devall’s Bluff,
but one thine we do know, and that is,
for something good to cat and a nice bod
to sleep on, the Peoples’ hotel is the place
to go to get it. The proprietor, S. J.
Peoples, is a cleaver and obliging (Demo

him. will go away well pleased. See ad
vertisement in another column.
A Thino on WaterYc local has long
languished for an item. lie lias resolved
and- re-resolved to have one, if it had to
bo gotten up for the occasion. By a con
catenation of fortuitous circumstances, the
thing came to pass without the aid of any
extraneous arrangements. It happened
last night. Somewhere near the hour of
eleven, a friendly voice was heard sit onr
open window inquiring for liis young sa
tank- majesty, ami informing him that a
large raft of timber was in the eddy be
low the wharf which might be caught up.
The information was gently imparted to us
and with the glittering prospect of heavy
salvage, ye local and his young majesty
rushed frantically to the river's bank,
straining our optics for a glimpse of the
prise. It was discovered floating tran
quilly adown tl e moonlit surface of the
beautiful and majestic river that glides in
noiseless sublimity past our embryonic
city In the impulse of our nature we I
rushed frantically forward again, and con
tinuing the rush we soon found ourselves
opposite-the object of our then greatest
desire, with a canoe at hand, which soon
placed us on the raft. There was Some
thing like two bundled larg cypress logs
well pinned together. We could not find
tiny rope to tic it with, but went to work i
to paddle it to the bank with two long
poles. We soon found that ii was drifting
towards the opposite shore. During this
time about twenty feet of small rope was
discovered We waited anxiously for it
to run against the hank, when we could j
tic it with the rope we had found One
corner touched the batik and we tried to
tie. The raft would not stop. We had
partially concluded to let it go its way,
when some one in a boat below, probably
the owner, cried out, “Don't tic up that
block of timber!" “Let that raft come
down 1" This satisfied us that the proper
owner was near, and we never tied it up
An hour's hard paddling brought us home.
Our advice is, never check up a large raft
of timber in r. strong current, with a twen
ty foot rope, when the owner may he near
and object to having it stopped.

We arc pleased with the arrangement
of the Steamer Liberty No. 2 in her
punctuality, regularity and reliability.
She makes better time from Memphis
to Dos Arc than any bout in the white
river trade, arriving here every Mon
day, nt from 9 to 11 o'clock a. m. from
Memphis, passes up the river, returns
Tuesday evening at about 9 or 1# o’clock,
giving the Postmaster and Express
Agent ample time to arrange the mail
and express matter, receive and deliver
the mail and get to bednoon enough to
enjoy the night’s ropose. The Liberty
also remains over here from Tuesday
night till Wednesday morning, afford
ing sufficient time for all to arrange and
got aboard Wednesday morning and
go on their way rejoicing, to Memphis
and other points. The Liberty is for
tunate in having plain, practical, social
accommodating officers, a good set of
state rooms and fare that robs the most
fastidious epicure of any grounds tor
complaint, and wc would in candor sug
gest to those wishing to travel on steam
boats to avail themselves of a trip on
the Liberty, and then say whether or
not we arc gasing. X.

t and hih Prospects.
If Uio Chicago nomination have
aroused in the liudical party the sligh
test amount of enthusiasm the evi
dences of it have not yet appeared.
That Grant would be the candidate for
President has long been known, and
tin's fact being recognized, it was not a
matter of much importance what other
Uadical was placed with him upon the
ticket. It was known that Ueu. Grant
would he the candidate, because there
was no other material in the party to
make an available candidate of. A
succession of circumstances had made
him prominent and famous, and it
seemed that, witli him as the candidate
•he glamor of military glory could be
thrown over the canvass, liis military
achievements, which, when fairly ex
amined, amount to but very little, it
was hoped could be magnified into
something grand and startling, and the
gratitude and admiration of the people
be excited thereby. It has not been
pretended that outside of Gen. Grant’s
military record he possesses auy merit
whatever. The leading organs of his
party are already preparing the ininds
of his followers for the expose which
they know will be made of both his
want of experience and his intellectual
deficiencies. They assume that there
is but little in the present couditiou of
the country which requires auy higii
degree of statesmanship, and that Gen.
Grant will therefore be louud equal to
any demands likely to be made upon
him. They do not assume that he
possesses more than average intelli
gence, or that he has any experience or
kiiowlcdgcd in statesmanship, and his
deficiencies are too well known to
justify an exalted eulogium upon his
abilities. The absurdity ot'such a thing
would be too manifest. His party is
therefore compelled to fall back upon
what they are pleased to call his
wonderful military achievements. It
was .his good fortune to be able, with
an overwhelming force, to compel the
surrender of Fort Donelson, Vicksburg
and Appomatox Court House, aud to
have been in command at the battle of
lUIOOIVMini J itlU^C) l/UK l
aud the defenders of liis military re
cord will find more difficulty than they
imagine in showing that in any of these
successes lie exhibited any remarkable
amount of military genius or skill.
That he was lucky no one can deny,
but that he ever displayed any general
ship cannot be shown. The details and
secret history of all of these operations
will be made public during the can
vass, and when they are the people will
be aide to see how little credit he was
entitled to for the results achieved.
Wc think that in throwing themselves
entirely upon the supposed popularity
and strength of Gen. Grant as a military
man. the Radicals have made a great
mistake, which will redound to the ad
vantage of the Democratic party. The
masses of the people, are, aud always
have been, sufficiently intelligent to
pay more regard to what they believed
to be the true administrative policy of
the country, than to the fighting qualifi
cations of any man. It is true, we
have had for Presidents several men
who had distinguished themselves as
military commanders, but the facts will
show that their fighting record had but
little to do with their success as candi
dates, and that it brought but little if
any strengtli to the party which relied
upon it. In no instance has the candi
date been found to be stronger than the
party or secured a larger vote than
would have been cast for.onc who nev
er swelled gunpowder or “set a -quad
ron in the field." We are well aware
that the popular belief is that military
canidates have always added strengtli
to their party, but it is a delusion
wiiie.li the facts can easily dispel.
Prior to Gen. Grant no purely military
man. by which we mean a man without
extensive experience in civil affairs
was ever run for the Presidency, ex
cept Gen. Taylor. Washington was
made President by a grateful people,
because of bis great services and sacri
fices in the revolution, and because of
bis purity of character and acknowl
edged abilities. Andrew Jackson was
defeated in 1824. when the recollection
of bis great military services was
fresher than at any subsequent period,
and he was elected lour years alter.
He had a large civil experience, and
had held some of the. most exalted and
responsible positions in the govern
ment. He had been known as a law
yer of distinguished ability : as an able
judge, as a member ot tlie Constitu
tional Convention of his State, and as
a United States Senator. That liis
high character added strength to his
party, we do not deny, but that charac
ter was gained as much by liis civil
services as by bis operations in flic
field.
The next military man was Gen.
Harrison.
The services which he had rendered
the country with his sword were made
prominent in the canvass, hut liis civil
experience was quite as much extolled,
lie was not a man of much ability, and
it is probable that if be bad lived bis
administration would have proved a
failure. Rut he died a few days after
bis inauguration, and bis deficiencies
disappeared under the sod which cov
ered him.
Next in order came Gen. Taylor,
who hud achieved bis military reputa
tion in Hie Mixican war. It was sup
posed by the Whig party that lie would
carry them on the high tide of success
ami achieve a brilliant victory. The
result showed that lie was only a
minority canidate, and tlmt if the
Democratic party bad not been split to
pieces on the free soil question he
would have been terribly beaten
This is the history of military candi
dates. The American people respect
brave men and admire military sue
nnoB lint tltnir lint'a a enninmnt t'nf
humbugs, and will not indorse or sup
port them. The history of all military
candidates proves what we have said,
that the tinsel and glitter of shoulder
straps have but little influence upon
the people, and that the political issues
to be decided are the controliug points
with them, and tho personal character
or the achievements of the candidates
are not a matter of much cousequeaoe.
From all these facts we arrive at the
conclusion that wo have not much tn
fear from the military glory acquired
by Gen. Grant in the war. He is s
fraud and a humbug, and will be so ex
posed. His achievement will be shown
to be the result of other brains than hie
own, and his long silence will bt
demonstrated to be inability to talk
rather than sagacious reticence. With
a proper candidate and a proper plat
form the Democracy can beat any suoli
a man.—[Louisville* Courier.

iMldlen' and Bailor*' Conven
tion
A call has been made In the North
for a Democratic soldiers’ and sailors’
convention, for tire 2d of July, at New
York city. It seems to be addressed ex
clusively to soldiers and sailors who
fought for the Union. It is a call ou
them to consult together for the safety
of that union they entered the field to
save, and to prevent the power of gov
ernment acquired through their instru
mentality from being used by unprin
pled adventurers for the purposes of
oppression. The “Union” their arms
saved is rent assunder, aud the basest,
men it contains are trampling down
principles and rights together, while,
with the solemnity of saints and the
hypocrisy of Judas, prate of honesty
and turn up the whites of their eves in
holy horror at the very thought of re
pudiation. The soldiers and sailors
cannot fail to see thatthey have periled
life in vain for their country, and that
the dead have died in vain, if they are
to follow the glittering epaulettes
against the very principles of republican
institutions, give the government into
the hands of those who arc most crafty
in manipulating the negro, and become
themselves, with their countrymen,
slaves to the bondoorats—too lordly to
be taxed, and selfish and mean enough
to wring gold from the laborer, while
the widow, orphan and pensioner must
take depreciated rags. The volunteer
soldiers and the regulars of the United
States are oitizens, and have the rights
of citizens at heart. And suppose the
military capacity and glory of Grant
(taking it at the utmost) can dazzle or
mislcad them in the least Is absurd.—
Familiarity with Grant, if it has not
bred contempt, has certainly never had
the effect to charm any to desertion of
principles for his lead. The man docs

try. And hence, in the selection of a
candidate, there is but one question to
ask—“is lie honest, is he capable, is he
faithful to the Constitution?” We be
lieve the soldiers will be as true to that
issuo as any citizens.—Memphis I.ed

Special Notice.
We wish to call the attention of our readers
to the column advertisement headed “Purify
Your Blood," to all the articles mentioned in
it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have
friends suffering from sickness, should care
fully read, and we know they will derive pro
fit from it. It gives U9 much pleasure to be
able in this manner to recommend to our peo
ple these remedies, as years of trial show
they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley’s
Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs
only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His
Bitters, (Hurley’s,) are the be.-t and purest
now offered for sale. For debility and loss of
petite no others ought to be used. Hurley’s
ue Tonic is harmless in its effect and never
Is to cure if used by directions. Try it.
«o his Worm Candy, (Hurley’s,) cannot be
equalled: any child will take it. So it is with
Dr. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup, the best and
safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc
cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle,
aud in future you will get no other. Also
Dr. 8eabrook’i Eliiir of Pyrophosphate of
iron and Calasaya: also Dr. Beltison's Kng.

are unequalled; we caunot understand why
their remedies might not as well be token in

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Last February
I wan in Louisville purchasing drugs, and I
got some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedron
Bittern.
My son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has been down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitter*, and
soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coflee, who has been iu bad health for
several years—stomach and tiver affected—he
improved very much by the use of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement. 1
think I could sell a great quantity of your

To my United Slates and World

I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men. as iny alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL’S WORM DESTROYER:

Dr. John Di ll—Dear Sir: 1 have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished for effect. 1 am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. 1 am free to confess that
I know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
1 cerfeaiu in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly from you. If l can get
I it upon easy terms, *1 shall use a great deal of
it. I am aware that the use of such articles
i is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D's,
but l see no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
I its combination. For my part, I shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which 1 mar be able to
command—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am bv
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner

1 was wounded nbotit two years ago—was

moment since 1 was wounded. I mil shot

Capt. Johnson.
Dn. Bi ll—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. 0.
S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon nnd physi
cian in Central New York, where he died,
leaving the above C. 1’. Johnson to my care.
At thirteen years of age he had a chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It Cured Him. i have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and lows, for scrofula, fe
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect sue- i
cess has attended it. The curs effected in \
some eases of scrofula and fever tores utere almost i
miraculous. 1 am very anxious for my son |
tu again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla, j
lie ia fearful of getting a spurious article, ■
hence his writing to you for it. His wounds |
were terrible, but I believe lie will recover.

CHILLS & EEVEB.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
jnslly claims for it a superiority over nil ,
remedies ever ottered to the public for the !
safe, certain, saenhi. and permanent cure of j
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of’ short nr long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to tlie truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufliuient for a cure, and '
whole families have been cured by a single j
bottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen- j
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in j
every ease more oerluiu to cure, it its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been cheeked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
! aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should
■ the patient, however, require a cathartic
| medicine, after having taken three or four
i doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S
VEGETABLE FAMILY 1MLLS will be suffi
cient.

Siirlrp’s .Sarsaparilla,
OF all the remedies that hare been discov
ered during l lie present age for tile' thousand
ills that flesh is heir to.” none equal this won
derful preparation. Only ten years have
elapsed since £he discoverer, (who spent a
decade in studying experiments, and perfect
ing it,) first introduced it to the public, and
it is already recognized by the most eminent
physicians in all parts of the country to be
the most surprising and effective remedy lor
certain diseases of which they have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this root
tiave hitherto failed to command the sanction
)f tlie Faculty, because, on being tested, they
lave been found to contain noxious ingredi
ints, which neutralize the good effects of the
Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure the health
>f the patient. It is not so with Hurley’s
^reparation. a
This is the pure and genuine extract of the
•oot and will, on trial, be found to effect a
