FOR PRESIDENT,
JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Of .Mississippi.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
ALEX. H. STEPHENS,
Of Georgia.
(p^" We are authorised to announce Hon.
A. H. Garland, as a candidate to represent
the Third Congressional District of the State
of Arkansas, in the First Congress under the
permanent Government of the Confederate
States. The 3rd District is composed of the
counties of Pulaski, Saline, Dallas, Calhoun,
Union, Jefferson, Bradley, Drew, Ashley,
Chicot. Desha, Arkansas and Prairie. Elec
tion WpilnpsMav. November 6th.
--
ggpr Messrs. J. Mat. Jackson, Geo. McD.
Vance, John S. Perry and Wm. T. Perry, of
the “Des Arc Rangers,” arrived home on Wed
nesday last. These gentlemen were all in the
thickest of the fight at the battle of Oak Hill,
near Springfield, on the 10th of August. Jack
son lost the long finger on his left hand, which
, was mashed bv a Minnie ball and afterwards
cut off by the surgeon Vance had fhe heel of
liis boot shot off, and. was grazed by a ball.
J. S. Perr> bad his right arm broken with a
Minnie ball between the wrist and elbow. W.
T. Perry was shot through the left thigh—a
flesh wound. These gallant voting men de
serve the praise and respect of their country
men. We are pleased to see them improving,
and amid the greetings of relations and friends
trust that they may soon be c; themselves
again.”
John R. Perkins and J. Stiuck. Perry,
arrived home on Monday evening. Strick- re
ceived a flesh wound in his left arm. We
learn that. McCulloch’s men are encamped in
the Indian Nation.
Hon. A. II. Ga.Ri.and.—This gentleman
addressed the people here on Monday, on the
subject of the Cotton subscription to the Con
federate States. His effort wss creditable to i
himself and interesting to his hearers. He ;
adverted to the present and future prospects I
of the Confederacy and showed conclusively t
that in sustaining the government the planter I
was but sustaining himself—that if the gov- <
ernment failed, all was lost, and that the ■
Southern planting interest mint go down with
it—that the institution of slavery could only
be sustained by maintaining Ibe government
of the Confederate States. Want of room
must be our excuse in not presenting his ar
guments at length.

west of Des Arc, which commenced on l
Thursday last, w- learn, will close to-day.—
-On Sunday last over eight hundred persons I
were in attendance. The hospitality dis- j
pensed by those having camps, and the fine r
basket dinrieis spread, presented a feast of r
good things which were readily disposeiVof ^
Th§ attendance of preachers was^ large, and ^
great interest was evinced by the audience.
The most perfect good order prevailed.

Negro Man Drowned.—On Saturday last
a negro man belonging to T. R. Lawrence,
Esq., while sawing a log off'in the boom near
Massrs. Frith, Baugh &. Go’s., Steam Saw
Mills, lost his balance, fell into the river, and a
was drowned. He was valued at $1800. a

The Hickory Plain Male and Female I
Institute commenced its Third Session on the f
2d inst., and has now between fifty and sixty
students. Prof. Garner is an able teacher, ^
and the school is located in one of the most 11
desirable neighborhoods in the State.

(S3T By a private dispatch from Capt. C. *
W. Coles, we learn that the steamer Kana- -
wha Valley left Memphis last evening, and
wijl arrive here on Thursday, bound for Jack
sonporL She will pass down Saturday.
The Sam. Hale will leave Memphis on Sat- a
urday, arriving here on Monday. These boats e
will hereafter make regular trips, and the ^
mails for the White river valley should be t
made up at Memphis. * s
Peas.—We suggest to our farming friends b
that they carefully gather their peas, as they
wiH bring a good price. The Southern army, ^
and private families will need them instead of p
the army bean, which it will be impossible to t.
supply them with. Gather all your peas. u

John Ardry, living some five miles l1
West of our town, was arrested on Tuesday ^
morning last, accused of murdering his wife s
on the night previous. An :nque*t was held 1

^
1 • " " '• ’ : know from evidence un
'iuub d_ that our wounded at Springfield were
neglected in comparison to the care bestowed
upon the federals.
Can the sapient writer in the “True Demo
crat” give us the name of a single sentry who
“ gave notice of the approach of the enemy.”
We conversed with one of the sentries on
Monday evening last, who was called in at 9
o’clock, on the night preceding the battle, and
he affirms that no more were ordered out that
night. On the morning of the battle, we
learn that Capt. Ramsaur of the Augusta Ca
valry was one of the first to discover the ene
my while he was at a spfing near by. He
tried in vain to convince Col. Churchill of
the fact; and not until they heard the roar of
the cannon of the enemy was that regiment
convinced of (heir near approach. Had sen
tries been out no surprise would have occur
red, and many a brave man who now’ sleeps
in death would at least have had a better op
portunity of checking the advance of the ene
my. No men on earth ever done such fight
ing under the same circumstances. The vic
tory at Oak Hills was gained by the gallantry
ana inuoinuaDie courage or tne men, and not
the management of the officers highest in
command, with the exception of Pierce, Mc
Intosh and Price—at least the evidence so far
is of that character. “We should do justice
to all men” quoth this arrant scribbler. Yes,
he would have us to believe that not a word
must be uttered against an officer in defence
of the men of an army. We think justice de
mands that those officers who neglect their
duty and permit themselves to be taken by
surprise, should be held up in their proper
light, no matter how tirey obtained their po
sition.
We have made no attack upon the brave
men who are fighting the battles of onr coun
try—these are the men we are defending, and
those who assert otherwise are slanderers ei
their wilfully or ignorantly.
We have found no fault with “gallant and
n ave officers” except where it was based up
in the evidence of their own men- those who
.vere in the thickest of the fight, and numbers
if whom bear marks upon their personsnhat
.hey received as well as gave hard blows in
hat bloody contest.
As to staying at home, finding fault, &c.,
.ve will venture that this dictator has done
ess to defend the South—was, perhaps, an
Seventh hour man in taking ground in her
!avor, and has done more fault-finding than
my ten members of the press-gang in the
State, Although occupying an humble posi
ion, we claim to have done more for the cause
ban a regiment of such men as he is, and
!are the author of the abusive article in the
'■ True Democrat” to compare notes with us.

Keep Back the Cotton.—The following
hows the importance which our congress at
aclies to the policy of keeping the cotton crop
way from our sea ports during the present
esti ictions on our foreign trade. Theplanters

Resolved, That the congress heartily ap

Ilf' 1 ..II. .1 VI I.i •. g»v.1
some of the most scathing expositions of the
folly, bombast and malignity of the North, in
waging its unsuccessful war on the South.
The Manassas defeat has unsealed the lips of
the Thunderer, and its denunciations and sar
casms have been unsparing. With pre-emi
nent ability it has laid hare the inconsi<ten
Chss, and infidelity to principle which charac
teriv, the Lincoln party. Its castigations are
fearlu. an(j Biack Republicans wince un
der theiLnjjg the schoolboy under the rod of
a mereilesvscji00j_m:ister. We clip the fol
lowing from , .p 0f jt9 ]at.est dissertations :
We are not fURng fau]t with the Northern
Mates for going L war> We have repeatedly
admitted that the l>xieral party could not be
expected to view the dismemberment of the
Union without an e(ForV0 avert the loss. But,
though civil war is the Lost frightful of all
wars, the Americans plunge into it witll iess
concern than would have ben, shown by any
European State in adopting a Aromatic quar
rel. Though the people of the\outll were 0f
the same flesh and blood with Cv people of
the North, and connected with ^fttn py a
thousand links of interest and fe'H;ng,' the
Northerners instantly heaped every <Niceiva
ble opprobrium on the heads of the SoHhern
ers.
A Muscovite Minister would speak n^-p
moderately of insurgent Poles than the cVj.
zens of Massachusetts spoke of the citizei\
of South Carolina; and certainly Lord North
never used such language as the New York
Journals have been incessantly hurling at the
“rebels of 1861.” Any suggestion or arbitra
tion has been fiercely rejected, and even be
fore the blood of the people was fairly up. a
proffered mediation was received as a deadly
insult. Nothing but war, conquest and tri
umph would satisfy the States whose alliance
had been repudiated. The old French cry of
“Fraternity or death,” was interpreted to
mean, “Be my brother or I will kill you,”
and that, after tho capture of Fort Sumter,
. -i-:.*- ~ C i-K ... AT t- K TU „ „ 1 ^
would listen to nothing but plans for an im
mediate campaign. Their statesmen seized
the opportunity of establishing a “gigantic
system of out-door relief” for themselves in
the shape of a Protective Tariff, and, having
catered in this manner for class interest, they
provided for the war in the most extravagant
and improvident manner. They have just pi
posed to raise, not by taxation, but by loan, a
sum greater than the whole expenditure of
this country in the most costly year of the
Crimean war. Five years of such borrowing
as they have now begun would saddle them,
at the proposed rate of interest, with a charge
greater than that of our whole national debt.
Of course, a standing army becomes an inci
dental necessity, and with it approaches ano
ther and more alarming apparition. Our cor
respondent speaks ominously of “some com
ing man, whose face no one can see yet, but
his footsteps are audible, and the ground
shakes beneath his tread.” Perhaps before
twelve months are over we may see how a
military dictator wiil deal with universal suf
frage and other popular institutions.
Our Indian Neighbors.
The majority of our readers are, no doubt,
aware that the Cherokeeshave, almost unani
mously, resolved to join their foi tunes with
those of the Southern Confederacy. The
other nations and tribes had already entered
into a treaty to the same effect. The chief,
John Ross, in an able address to his people,
informed them that he was for neutrality as
long as there was a hope of its practicability,
but after a calm view of the whole matter,
advised them to sever those ties heretofore
connecting them with the old government.
In Ibis, Mr Ross has exhibited not only pat
riotism, but statesmanship and deserves credit
therefor.
This action makes the Indian Nations west
of us united in our common cause. It removes
a cause of apprehension from the minds of
many. It shuts out from the abolitionists a
vast territory, in which they had hoped to
operate to our prejudice. It gives us thou
sands of brave warriors for our allies. It
brings peace and security on our frontier, and
throws our western border hundreds of miles
further towards the setting sun. p
We cannot help thinking that the impor
tance of this movements lias not been properly
sstimated. It is a great victory, though a
bloodless one, and its influences and result
will be felt for all time to come. We cougrat
llate our readers on the success of Com
missioner Pike and the results of his mission.
But the whole Confedracy will be benefited
by the alliance with our brethren of the for
est, while our enemies cannot but feel that a

The North Carolina Disaster. — The
surprise and capture of Fort Hatteras by the
Federals, much as it is regretted, may prove
seneficial, in awaking greater vigilance, in
eference to our defenses. It tnay be expected
hat the enemy will assail us at every exposed
ooint on our extensive sea coast. The States
an the Atlantic and the Gulf have been
iroused to the necessity of guarding against
inch attacks, and will doubtless be stimulated
;o increased vigilance by the success of the
issault on Fort Hatteras.—[Memphis Ava
