We learn that Capt. John S. Pear

Arc Rangers, and will return home in a short

family, prompted him to resign his position.
Another Member of the Des Arc Ran
gers Dead.—We are pained to learn from'
£ gentlemen who left Springfield on the 1st inst.,
that our gallant townsmen, Joseph C. Tar
I kinton, Esq., died on the 29lh ult. He was
§' wounded in the shoulder in the battle of Oak
Hill, from which he was fast recovering. He
„ died of an affection of the lungs. We learn
that Lieut. McIver was quite low, but hopes
are entertained of his recovery. Mr. Tarkin
■ ton makes the seventh of that gallant band
■$ who have died since the battle.
§3?” B. T. Simpson, Esq., well known to
our citizens, who left here in April last and
■joined the 4th Alabama Regiment, has been
:*v on a visit to our town for several days past.
We are pleased to see that he is enjoying ex
g; cellent health after the gallant and noble part
he took in the battle of Manassas. His com*
I pany, the “Lauderdale Volunteers,” lost in
■ that battle ten killed, twenty-two wounded—
1 two of whom have died since.
Since his return to Alabama he has received
|two promotions, one in becoming the husband
|of a fair daughter of that State, the other a
Second Lieutenancy in the Provisional Army.
‘•The brave alone deserve the fair.”
We have full faith in Lieut. Simpson fully
appreciating bis “home victory.” He is or
dered to Fort Gaines, Alabama, to which
point he will proceed with as little delay as
possible.

03?“ Eight federal prisoners arrived here
from above on Monday morning, on the stea
mer J. J. Cadot. They were in charge of
Lieut. Fulton. Six of them were taken by
Capt. Crisman’s command. The other two
are a pair of Ellsworth’s original Zouaves—
| one of them yet wears his uniform of red
pants and bine jacket. On his hat is to be
seen “Bloody 12th.” They were taken from
here to Little Rock by land.
; Gen. McCulloch’s Official Report.—
Ger., McCulloch has made his official report
to the proper officer at Richmond. He makes
Bo reference to having been taken by surprise,
and the dreadful destruction of life attendant
thereon. Whether he has thought best tiPgive
s this matter the go-by, or expects some other
| officer “to do the subject justice,” we are not
prepared to say. The evidence is clear and
Undoubted that his command was taken by
surprise, and we had expected a manly avow
al of the fact by the commanding officer.
Wiio, of McCulloch’s command, among his
officers, will be the first to communicate to the
Department at Richmond the fact that the
army were surprised, and that the heavy
loss of life is attributable bo that fact ?
The Wounded at Springfield, Missouri.
Des Arc Hotel, Sept. 5, 1861.
Mr. Editor :—My attention has just been
called to an editorial in your issue of yester
day, a portion of which I deem it my duty to
correct: You say, “we are pained to learn
that the wounded, (especially those belonging
to Col. Churchill’s Regiment.) have been most
shockingly and inhumanly neglected.” Now
sir, I have to say to you, for the gratification
of those who may have Wounded relatives and
friends in Col. Churchill’s command, that you
have been misinformed in regard to this mat
ter. The Regiment under Col. Churchill were
in the hottest of the battle and suffered very
severely. The wounded were removed to
Springfield, and placed in comfortable houses,
before the necessary arrangement could be
made for bedding, and for the first night many
were compelled to lie upon beds of straw,
covered with their blankets. Lots of mattras
ses, pillows, comforts, &c., for the manufac
ture of which there was abundance of mate
rial in the hands of the Hospital Quartermas
ter, were furnished as rapidly as possible.
Surgeons and nurses are provided in sufficient
number to see that the wounded are properly
attended to, and nothing is left undone that
could contribute to their comfort.
I make this statement as an act of justice
to a gallant officer, and a brave and noble Re
giment, who would not permit a fellow sol
dier to suffer for want of attention.
Yours truly,
H. W. CROaS,
Act. Sergeon General of
Missouri forces.
We give above a letter from Dr. Cross,
Acting Surgeon General of the Missouri forces,
who passed through our town on the 5th inst.,
in company with Gen. Clark of Missouri.
We have no doubt that Dr. C. believes all he
asserts in his polite note to us. But we have
evidence undoubted “that the wounded, (es
pecially those belonging to Col. Churchill’s
Regiment) have been most shockingly and in
humanly neglected.” We repeat that the com
forts and necessaries of life which were de
nied our wounded were furnished the feder
als—that our wounded laid upon blankets
upon the hard floors, and many of them died
thereon, while the federals had cots, mattras
ses and even featherbeds. Letters have been
received in lies Are and iieifhbnrhneA wliieh
fully justify us in the position we have taken.
One gentleman who was at Springfield four
days after the battle near there, ssys that
many of the wounded had on the same cloth
ing they were wounded in, covered with clot
ted blood. He fully confirms the shocking
treatment of our wounded. A letter received
near here, dated 27th ult., from Springfield,
says that the writer tried in vain to obtain a
mattrass upon which to place Lieut. Mclver,
who it will be remembered is supposed to be
mortally wounded. On the 27th the wounded
from Capt. Pearson’s company were all im
proving but Mclver and Tarkinton.
We trustj'for the sake of humanity, that this
matter will be looked into, and that those who
are guilty of neglecting the wounded at
Springfield will be properly dealt with.

To the People of the 3rd Congressional
District of the State of Arkansas;
I am a candidate to represent you in the first
Congress under the permanent Government of
the Confederate States. The election to take
place on the first Wednesday of November
next. When the Convention of Arkansas hon
ored me by an election to the Congress of the
Provisional Government, there wts but the
one great question before the country—the
mode and means of prosecnting the war then
upon us ! That war still exists, and this ques
tion is now the only one commanding our at
tention. What has been done in this matter
by the Congress, will be before you in due
time. In that work I have my share of the
responsibility. General legislation, which in
ordinary times might be of importance to the
people, has been, for the time being,, pretty
much dispensed with; and all of our exertions
have been directed towards a speedy and sue
cessrul close or tne war, wnicli tuns fir Has
been prosecuted with the highest honor to our
arms. The first session of the Congress under
the permanent Constitution will doubtless be
occupied mainly in the consideration of meas
ures of a like character. Should 1 be return
ed to the Congress, all that I could do to sup
ply the means, to the utmost extent required,
to carry on the war, I shall do most readily
and most willingly.
1 am known to most of you, and have been
for years; and it is needless for me to tell you
here, who and what I am and what I have
been. 1 do not expect to canvass before you
for the position. There are no matters now
invoking political discussion, and under the
circumstances 1 do not think them proper.
It is no time now to withdraw the attention if
the people from the all absorbing question in
which their property, their liberties and their
lives are involved. Should it be your pleasure
to elect me, it will be my pride to do all I can
to serve you honorably and faithfully.
Our cause is prospering as much as the mosl
ardent could desire—every thing is encouraging,
and we are full of hope for the future. Oui
brilliant victory at Manassas, and the wonder
ful success of Gen. McCulloch in Missouri
fire our people with new zeal and ardor, while
they spread terror among our enemies. A few
more such grand achievements will place the
Southern Confederacy a recognized Govern
ment in a proud rank among the family of na
tions, and secure us our independence, om
peace and quiet. To this end we, the people
law-makers and soldieis, have now to direct al
our sympathies, all our energies, in whatevei
way we can.
I address you this short circular, as it is al
together uncertain when the present session oi
Congress will close, and when I shall returr
! home.
In this connection I will state that I will
address different portions of the State of Ar
kansas on the cotton loan, to obtain sub
scriptions to the Confederate States, embrac
ing pretty much the Southern part of tire
State. The Hon. R. W. Johnson will unite
with me in this canvass, if his health will
permit. On consultation with him as to this
business, he authorizes me to state this. The
appointments will soon be published in the
proper papers. I call the attention of our
people to them, and earnestly request their at
tendance at the times and places designated in
the list. It is highly important that the leg
islation by Congress touching this subject
should be fully explained to those interested,
and who desire to contribute.
Very Respectfully,
A. H. GARLAND.

Arrest of Preachers in St. Louis.—We
learn, says the Louisville Courier, that the
reign of terror and despotism in St. Louis is
daily on the increase. The arsenal is convert
ed into a Bastile, in which have already been
incarcerated three Baptist preachers. Not a
word of these outrages appears in the suborn
ed and government papers. All the honest,
free papers are silenced, and our only sources
of information are from travelers, who detail
the fact.

Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, Levin Harrison a worthy and
esteemed member of Des Arc Lodge, number
8, I. O. O. F., was mortally wounded upon the
battle field, near Springfield, on the 10th ult.,
whilst as a gallant soldier, and a noble and
true son of the South, he was fearlessly and
faithfully discharging the duties of a soldier
and a patriot.
And whereas, It has pleased God on the
19th ult., to terminate the suffering of brother
Harrison, and remove him to that“bourne from
whence no traveller returns,” to join in the
everlasting covenant; Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of brother
Harrison, the brotherhood have lost a good
and true member, society and exemplary high
toned gentleman, and one of its strongest sup
ports, our country a brave and chivalrous
man and true soldier, and we a friend tried
and true.
Resolved, That brother Harrison, as a mem
ber of this Lodge, has shown himself in every
respect worthy, and made a record that will
long be remembered by the Lodge.

From our Commissioners in Europe.—
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Thurs
day, 5th inst., learns that three gentlemen, one
of them a Charlestonian, passed through At
lanta on Monday night last, on their way to
Richmond, bearing dispatches from our Com
missioners in Europe to President Davis.
These gentlemen came by way of Quebec,
Montreal and Detroit, and thence by Louis
villo and Nashville. At Louisville their per
sons and trunks were thoroughly searched, but
they brought through their despatches never
theless. The Lincoln police searched every
where but in the right place, and we shall not
tell where that was.
The tenor of the despatches is, that France,
England, Europe generally, are greatly agita
I ted on the question of American affairs, and
that the recognition of the Confederate States
by the great powers of Europe will be un
fait accompli in a very short time.
