fjtg” Will the editors of the Browns
I vHle Echo rend the following letter, and
I fire it a place in their columns?
Post-Office. Df.s Arc, )
May 2, 1859. $
Mr Editor:—Permit me, through your
1 columns, to correct some errors into which
1 the editor of the “ Echo” has fallen, in regard
■ to the mail matter for Brownsville being
■ received through this office. Some two months
since, 1 received a request from the post-mas
!ter at Napoleon, through the clerk of the mail
boat, for a list of all the offices with which
we had direct mail communication ; ami as we
have a regular mail from Des Arc to Browns
Vi!!e, it was put on the list with the balance.
I did not inquire for what purpose he wanted
|,h» list. So far from having any oe-ire io
hare the mail matter from Brownsville come
through this office. I would rather we had less
than legitimately belongs to this office, as it is
a source of trouble, and is of no profit.
The editor is in error in regard to the mail
matter for Brownsville lying a week in this
office. The longest time it was detained here
was from Tuesday until Friday, three days.
The Friday’s mail was not detained more than
two or three hours.
So far from wishing to injure the interest of
Brownsville, I wish it all the success in the
world.
Yours, &f-, D P. BLACK, P. M.
Sabbath School Celebration.—Accord
ing to previous arrangements, the Sabbath
Schools of Des Arc celebrated their anniver
sary on Saturday last. The display through
out was both unique and beautiful. Near one
hundred and thirty children were in the pro
cession. As they inarched along our streets
their smiling faces reminded the looker-on of
“childhood’s sweetest hours.” The exercises
of the day commenced by recitations from the
scholars and the awarding of premiums ; after
which our friend, D. W. Davis, Esq., deliv
ered an interesting and highly entertaining
address, upon the subject of Sabbath Schools.
The procession then marched to the Grove,
under the marshalship of T. J eff. Jobe, Esq.
A sumptuous pic-nic was here served up ; and
until a laie hour, all enjoyed themselves in
jav and lively sports upon the “green-carpet
■ d earth.” May this anniversary be long re
membered, and each revolving year bring, in
its happy turn, like demonstrations by the
; Sunday School children of Des Arc.
5 Concert and Supper.—We invite atten
tion to the eard in our columns, announcing a
j concert and supper by the ladies of Watten
raw. on the 18th inst. We can safely promise

I Our Wattensaw friends are famous for the
I bountiful profusion of good things which they
nrovidc on public occasions; and we have no
fears bin they will fully sustain themselves.
All the young folks, and as many of the old
folks as can possibly leave home, will attend.
! of course. The musical talents of our fair
friends have long since been acknowledged,
and any praise we can bestow upon them
weuld be superfluous.

Brownsville Echo.— After several weeks
issue without an acknowledgsd editor, this
sheet has placed at its mast head the names
of I. C. Hicks and B. F. Coulter as editors
and proprietors. We clip the following from
the “ Echo” of the 27th ull. :
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad.—
We commenced the discussion of this subject
in a spirit of kindness, and hoped that it
would'be conducted in such a manner as to be
offensive to no one, but we find that the editor
of the Citizen, for reasons best known tohim
self, indulges in personalities and offensive
language, to which we have no inclination or
desire whatever to reply. We are not dispos
ed to bandy epithets or continue a controver
sy with one who seems to mistake billingsgate
for argument. We shall, therefore, in future,
discus's this subject without regard to any
thing that may appear in the columns of the
Citizen. We cannot close this argument,
however, without assuring the editor of the
Citizen that he will find above .the names of
the editors of this paper, and that we are re
sponsible for any and everything that has
found a place in our columns.
We too began the controversy “ in a spirit
of kindness,” and leave the readers of both
papers to decide who was the first to “in
dulge in personalities and offensive language.”
Your sheet commenced the bandying of epi
thets and using “ billingsgate for argument.b
Wc shall, therefore, in future discuss this sub
ject as seems best in our own judgment ; nev
er failing to present the mistaken notions of
the editors of the “ Echo” in proper time ar.d
nlace : and whenever thev suffer their feelings
to get tile better of their judgment, and ac
cuse us of “ claiming for our village and
township a greater population than either pos
sess,” they may expect a disclaimer not dis
similar to that in our paper of the 22d ult.
We too, take the liberty of assuring the edi
tor’s of the “Echo” that they'will “get them
selves into trouble” on every occasion, in
which they rely upon the statements of cer
tain “ lewd fellows of the baser sort.” Bet
ter “ go long” and reason, than listen to med
dlers and interlopers.
vr a correspondent of the “ Brownsville
Echo” writing over the signature of “Browns
ville,” labors hard to create tie impression
that we are opposed to the prosperity of his
town ; also, that we charge the “ citizens of
Prairie township with plundering the county
treasury.” Both positions of this “ new ac
tor on the stage” are alike mistaken notions—
the emanations, doubtless, from the brain of
one who cannot understand what he reads.
We have ever maintained that the great mass,
of the citizens of Prairie township were good
citizens, and a credit to the county and the
State—but we have disagreed with the de
signing few, and shall continue to do so, until
they cease to do wrong and learn to do right.
The attempt to place us in the position of hav
ing abused the people of Brownsville or of
Prairie township as a mass, is calculated to
make this “ very new” correspondent of the
“ Echo” the laughing-stock of every one who
has read the Citizen.
This correspondent of the “ Echo” closes
his “ very smart” ebulition by comparing us
to a wood-pccker. True, we are one of the
“ red-headed sort,” and have no reason to
complain thereof—in truth, we are right glad
of it. There is no danger of our complex
ion placing us in the position of an individual
who contributes for the “ Echo” and with
whom this correspondent associates. He was
arrested while out hunting, as a runaway ne
gro—and only escaped being committed to
jail by piloting his captors to the camp of his
companions. We much prefer being red
headed, “under the circumstances.”
Further Particulars of the Loss
of the St. Nicholas.—From the Hele
na Southron we gather some further par
ticulars of the St. Nicholas disaster.
Mr. A. J. French, who lived near the
scene of the accident, took his skiff and
followed the wreck and picked up six per
sons. He carried James Woods, the
cook of the boat, to Helena, where he
died on Monday evening. Woods was
caught in the wreck and was so near the
flames as to have his hair burnt off bis
head, but he could reach the water and
with his hand kept dashing water oil his
scorching hair, and by this means pro
longed his life until he was taken out by
MV French. He was buried at Helena
on Tuesday.
The wreck of the St. Nicholas was
seen to float by Helena at half past ten
o'colek on Monday morning, at which
time it was burning with great brightness.
The hull of the boat is said to have lodg
ed some ten miles below Helena, at Delta
Island.
The Southron understands that there
was a tall young man who lived in Phil
lips county, Arkansas, talking to the clerk
at the moment of the explosion, and as he
was not seen afterwards it is supposed
1 that he was lost. The Soufhron has not
' the most distant idea who the individual
was.
The Memphis Avalanche of the 25ih
ult., says :
| No further advices from the wreck of
the ill-fated St. Nicholas have reached us.
| The hope entertained by many of the
! safety of several passengers, whose fate is
not certainly known, is fust fading away.
It is presumed that if any others than
i those already reported were saved intelli
s gence of the same would have reached
. this city, before the present time, and as
> no tidings have been received, the worst
t fears of the friends of the victims of this
fearful calamity are likely to be realized.
Mr. B. V. Glime, the clerk of the St.
Nicholas, died at 3 o’clock on Tuesday.
r His remains were deposited in the ceno
‘ taph at Morris Cemetery, to await trans
portation to St. Louis, where his father
3 and other members of his family reside.
1 Mr. B. B. Stuart was in a most preca
r rious condition last night, and it is greatly
J feared that he canuot long survive his in
1 .
juries.
e Most of the sufferers who were brought
to Memphis are recovering, but it is
e thought several will die from their severe
scalds and wounds.

' children, are “ pleased with a rattle.”
- Not much, if it is at the tail of a suake.
-A fellow was told at a tailor’s shop

LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
The Peace Congress—French .Military
Operations.
New York, April 28.—The Cunard
steamship Africa, Capt. Shannon, arrived
at this port this evening. She left Liver
pool on Saturday, the 16th inst.
She brings further advices in relation
to the peace congress, and other items of
interest.
THE PROSPECT OF PEACE OR WAR.
Liverpool, April 16.—A Dresden
journal announces that the peace congress
will assemble on the 23d of April at Carls
ruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden-Baden,
and that the proceedings of the congress
will be opened by ottering a resolution for
a general disarming of the belligerent
powers, as a preliminary condition to the
discussion of the Italian question.
The London Nen's expresses the opin
ion that the congress will be just as likely
to prepare the way for a war, nnd em
bitter the hostile parties towards each other,
as to avert it, and that war, instead of
peace, may be promoted by a congress as
sembled under such urcumstances.
It is supposed that the proposals of Aus
tria, as to the points to be submitted to the
congress, are wholly unacceptable to
France.
The Paris Patrie says that France can
not be expected to diminish her army un
der the existing state of things.
It is reported that the Pope will protest
against holding the Congress.
The French naval officers on leave of
absence have been ordered to join their
ships, vvithoutdelay.
It is rumored that the Emperor Napo
leon is soon to leave for Lyons, where
large bodies of troops are being concentra
ted.
THE PARTS CONFERENCE.
The London News says that the result
of the second meeting of the Paris Confe
rence is, that England, France, Russia,
Prussia, and Sardinia, shall recognize the
election of Couza by the Danubian Prin
cipalities, and Austria and Turkej’ are to
stand aloof.
RUSSIAN VICTORY.
A telegraphic dispatch from Saint Pe
tersburg announces that the Russian army,
under Gen. Maurel, had gained a decisive
victory over the Circassians, and that two
thousand Circassians came into the Rus
sian camp after the battle.
FRENCH TROOPS FROM AFRICA.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times states that ail hopes of peace have
been abandoned, in consequence of the
arrival of more troops from Africa, at
Marseilles.
