Des Abo, Ark., June 8, 1866.
There are few persons who have an idea
of the rapidity with which the White river
valley is settling np. No section of coun
try in the South is making more rapid
strides in improvement; and surely none
can hold out to the emigrant greater in
ducements than the fertile fields that are
washed by the waters ot our beautiful
White river. Steamboats are constantly
ploughing our waters, bearing out and
bringing in all that the necessities of the
country demand, connecting us directly
with Memphis and St. Louis, and through
them with the whole world. Most promi
nent of the towns of this valley is our own
Des Arc. No one that has noticed her
rapid improvement for the last year, can
help being impressed with the idea that
Des Arc must one day be a city. We
have fourteen first class business houses,
and a good prospeot for more. Every
boat that touches our landing puts off some
anxious seeker for a home and country, and
the invariable expression is one of satisfac
tion. Our saw mills, planing mill, found
ry and grist mills, all stand out as pronri
nnnt uiJvorti^ATnanta nf nnr nrosneritv.
To all who are tired of the slow plodding
up hill of the older States, we recommend
the valley of White river, and most of all,
we recommend to enterprise and industry,
Des Are, feeling assured that there can be
found all that is desirable, all that will
conduce to comfort, happiness and pros
perity. 0
We learn from our exchanges that there
is a strong probability of the early release
of Jeff. Davis. The Radicals are clamor
ins for his trial, whioh trial he is himself
anxious for. We have never believed
that it was within the bounds of possibility
to convict him of treason, and to think of
connecting his name with those who con
spired to the death of Abe Lincoln, is
simply absurd. Re that as it may, the
great heart of the Southern people cries
out for a trial upon the indictment found
against him, some four weeks ago. All
are satisfied that a trial will be equal to a
release from that confinement, which is so
trying to the soul of him who has already
suffered so much.
On our first page will be found the
•charter of the Des Arc and Dardanelle
Railroad. A careful perusal of this docu
ment will surely be sufficient to confirm
the faith of those that believe the road will
be built, and remove the fears of all who
doubt the success of so desirable an enter
prise. All questions that could be asked
concerning the disposition of stock, the
liabilities of stockholders, the terms ot
payment, etc., are so fully answered that
we make no comment. We trust that ev
ery man interested in this road will, not
only read the charter, but study it, and
impressed with its liberality, set immedi
ately to work to build upon it—as a base
this railroad, in whioh Arkansas, and espe
cially Des Arc, is so much interested.
What shall be done with Jeff. Davis if
convicted, is a question in which all feel a
lively iuterest. Writing on this subject,
the Washington correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial says:
The trial of Mr. Davis being agreed
upon, the question comes up, what will be
.done with him if convicted ? While the
blood of the nation was heated by the ac
tual contest, a week, a month, or even two
months after his apprehension, his execu
tion on the sentence from a military tribu
nal, would have been attended with little
doubts as to its wisdom, and little of argu
ment as to its expediency. Since that
time, how'ever, public opinion has under
gone a perceptible change on the subject
of military trials, and it is not unfair to
presume that a punishment then universal
ly demanded for Davis, would now be little
more than barely acquiesced in. The an
tecedents of the American people and Gov
ernment are by no means such as to en
tirely justify capital punishment for polit
ical crime. No where in the world have
revolutionists been received so hospitably
as upon the shores of the United States.
Whatever the objects of the rebellion—
whether the freedam of a people capable
of being free, of which Kossuth was the
representative, or the desire to exchange
clay pipes for Havana eigars on the part of
a few leaders, of which Stephens is the
representative, the “head centres” of revo
lution, or attempted revolution, have all
been welcomed with open arms, and no
questions asked, provided the grand idea
of resistance to constituted authority was
there. The wide spread of American
sympathy with the ostensible objects of the
Fenian Frothorhood goes far to show that,
unconsciously perhaps, the American peo
ple draw a wide line between their esti
mate of the criminality of political treason
and of all other offenses considered crimi
nal in the eye of the law. No man was
ever more flagrantly guilty of treason to
the United States than John Mitchell
In the prime and wisdom of manhood,
voluntarily, eagerly and boastfully, he
swore allegiance to the laws of the United
States, received its hospitality and profited
by its generosity, and no man proved a
greater traitor to both nation ana Consti
tution than he; yet his pardoning was un
opposed, and his present participation in
the Fenian movement, in the minds of
many, palliates, if not obliterates, his sins
against this Government. The pardoning
of Smith O’Brien, and others of ’48 noto
riety, by Great Britain; the international
law (such it may be called), which protects
the rebel refugee in the three great na
tions of the* world, and converts the En
!;lish traitor into the American hero—a
aw continually enforced since 1815—has,
wrongly or rightly, given strength to the
popular lenient estimate of the crime of
treason, out of which the law grew.
BE FIRM, PRUDENT, PATIENT.
By insisting that the South should be
garrisoned by negro troops; by the pas
sage of odious, unconstitutional enactments
intended to elevate the negro over the
white man ; by every conceivable mode of
oppression, and measure of malice and re
venge, the Radicals have striven, with
ruthless revolutionary persistence, to har
ass and provoke the Southern people into
the commission of acts of violence, and to
bring about a bloody collision of races, in
order to give them a pretext for disfran
chising and still further oppressing both
the States and the people of the South.
They have cultivated all the arts of con
spiracy with a success that would have
shamed old Titus Oates in his palmiest
days. With them, slander has become a
science, a fine art, and a wholesale trade,
involving the employment of hundreds of
traveling professors of mendacity, and hun
dreds of thousands of capital.
But their diabolical machinations against
the loyalty and good faith of our people
have been all in vain. After all their ef
torts to embroil the south, they are still
without a pretext. With a patience and
long suffering forbearance never equalled,
and looking to the future and to God for
their reward, and for justice, the Southern
people still stand firm in their determina
tion not to be driven, even in appearance,
from their position of perfect acquiescence
hnd patient endurance.
To deny the South representation, to
keep the Southern people from voting in
the next Presidential election, and to rob,
wrong and oppress them generally by
every species of legislative enactment and
military tyranny, were, however, with the
Radicals, foregone conclusions. They
would be glad to have a pretext, if the
sensitive, excitable, high spirited Southern
ers would only be so imprudent as to give
them one ;—but, with or without pretext,
by intrigue or by fouler means, the South
must be kept out of the Union, out of Con
gress, in a State of vassalage, disfranchised,
degraded, virtually enslaved. This con
summation was absolutely indispensable to
their retention of political power, and to
the election of the Radical candidate for
President in 1868; and nothing, Constitu
tion, nor laws, right, reason, truth nor jus
tice, must be permitted, for one moment,
to stand in the way.
And thus, so far as the present Congress
is concerned, the matter now stands.
With a working two-thirds majority, ac
quired by wicked violations of law and jus
tice, by infamously fraudulent expulsion
and deprivation of duly elected members,
they are going on, from day to da/, to the
perfection of their measures of oppression;
riding rough-shod over the Presidential
veto, over the Constitution, and over the
liberties of the people. And all this, too,
by a Congress which is really no Congress
—a Congress in which eleven great States
(lately, at immense trouble and expense,,
“whipped back into the Union,”) are de
nied representation!
The grand, peaceful remedy for this sad
condition of affairs is the ballot-box; and
there would be no doubt that this remedy
would be successfully applied at the next
general elections, were it not that the rev
olutionary Radicals, ignoring the organic
law, have managed by fraud and intrigue
to disfranchise one-third of the American
people. They have taken away the ballot
box from a population of from eight to ten
millions! And our last and only hope,
short of a counter-revolution now is, in the
conservative Republican and Democratic
masses of the North. If they can succeed
in out voting the extremists at the ap
proaching fall elections, all may yet be
well. The Southern people can do much
to help them to victory—and they must do
it, or they and the republic are lost!
They can help their brethren of the North
in tbe coming elections by doing nothing
and saying nothing, that can by the utmost
ingenuity be tortured into the semblance
of disloyalty or disaffection towards the
Government; by quietly submitting to the
laws, however unjust or oppressive, until
they are repealed or declared void by the
proper tribunals; and by, cultivating a
spirit of reconciliation and fraternity be
tween the lately discordant and belligerant
sections, of a now forever re-uni tod repub
lic.—[Memphis Argus.

THE PRESIDENT DEALS THE RAD
ICALS AND “THE BURE AC” A HEA
VY BLOW.
The inconsistency of the Radical Aboli
tionists is something marvelous to behold.
In a conversation with a foreigner a short
time ago. President Johnson gave au in
stance of it quite startling. “The ma
‘ chincry of the Frccdmen’s Bureau’’ said
he, “is now being used to get negroes con
!1 veyed from the North back to the South,
1 by the very men who have been all
‘ along, and arc still, asserting that the
‘ lives of the freedmen arc not safe at the
‘ South ! They had hired or bought lands
‘in the South; they wanted labor; and
‘ they got their negroes transported at the
‘expense of the Government. The Freed
‘ men’s Bureau compels the negroes to go,
‘ or they stop their subsistence allowance,
‘ It is little better than another form of
‘ slavery, only it is solely conducted by
‘ Abolitionists.’’ The President went on
to say that “the Freedmen’s Bureau
1 would not assist a Southern man in get
‘ ting negroes from the North, where many
‘ thousands of them had taken refuge dur
‘ ing the war. A gentleman from Faulk
‘ land county, Virginia, had been to him,"
the President said, “only a few days ago,
‘ saying that he had sent 300 negroes to
‘ the district (of Columbia) for security
‘ during the war. He now wished to hire
‘ them, but the Freedmen’s Bureau inter
‘ posed obstacles, and would give him no
‘ help in transporting them; whereas the
‘ Government railroads were placed at the
‘ service of other speculators."
The President might have added with
entire confidence, supported as he would
be by the above and other constantly oc
curring facte, that, as the Puritanical Ab
olition philanthropists of New England
wore among the first to open and carry on
the slave trade, some two hundred years
ago, so, they are now the only ones left to
carry on the same trade (in other forms)
after everybody else has quit. From first
to last, their philanthrophy has been a
thing of dollars and cents—a “speculative"
affair—a delusion^ a humbug, and a
snare.
- ■ «»■ m -
-The new Freedmen’s Bill ns it passed
the lower branch of Congress is divested of
many of the objectionable features with which
it was characterized when introduced. It now
provides for continuing the present Freedmen’s
Bureau for two instead of three years, as orig
inally reported, and authorizes the appoint
ment of two additional Assistant Commission
ers. All appointments are to bo made of per
sons who have served in the armies. No per
son shall be deemed destitute, suffering or de
pendence. For the purpose of rendering this
bureau self-sustaining, in the place of lands
heretofore assigned to freedmen, and that the
bureau, the President is required to reserve
from sale or settlement under the Homestead
or Pre-emption laws, and assign for the use of
freedmen and loyal refugees male or female,
unoccupied public lands in Florida, Mississip
pi, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas, not ex
ceeding in all 3,000,000 acres of good lands.
Whenever the former owners of land occupied
under General Sherman's field order, dated at
Savannah, January 16, I860, shall apply for
restoration of said lands, and the Commission
er shall refuse to surrender the same, the own
ers may apply in civil Courts for restitution.
The bill further guarantees civil rights to all
persons in the States.
Ecropean War.—The preparations of Eu
rope for war are complete. Prussia is on foot,
her army mobilized, and on her frontier.
Austria has 72,000 men in Venetia, and rail
ways and telegraphs monopolized by the Gov
ernment. Italy has suspended specie pay
ment, effected immense loans in paper, and is
alive from the Alps to the Adriatic with war
like preparations. Saxony is in arms, and
refuses to disarm at the demand of Prussia.
Even Belgium is making provisions for calling
out 80,000 men. Russia and Turkey arc mov
ing large bodies of troops to their respective
frontiers. All are at daggers drawn, already
to strike. France is neutral, but preserves her
“liberty of action. England is neutral in any
case, and means to do so. The Queen, whose
daughter will be queen of Prussia, and whose
dearest friends will be involved in the conflict,
has tried to interfere, not diplomatically, but
personally, in the interests or peace. She
has asked the aid of theCzar, it is said, to pre
vent hostilities. But the action of the Czar,
like that of. the Emperor Napoleon, is very
doubtful. Each seems to have more to hope
than to fear from a war in Ceniral Europe.—
[Memphis Bulletin.
A negro got into a street car in Phila
delp\ia the other day and ensconced himself
between a couple of merchants of well known
Radical proclivities. They were ardent admi
rers of Thad. Stevens, and had sustained every
nnsition that, worthv assumed. But this nrne
tical test of civil rights was beyond their en
durance; it was more than they had bar
gained for. Each nose inclined heavenward
as the negvo took the vacant scat between his
•‘friends.” They ordered him to leave, lie
wouldn’t do it. The conductor was appealed
to, but he feared thelaw. There was no other
resort, and they left their seats to take a stand
on the platform while the negro rode on in
triumph.
-We are pained to learn from the Galves
ton News, of the death of ex-Governor Allen,
of Louisiana, lie died at the I'ity of Mexico,
from the effects of wounds received during tho
late war. This news will sadden many brave
and generous hearts, for few men had more or
better friends, or were more deserving of such
friendship, than Ileury Allen. Peace to his
ashes.

TO THE VOTERS OF ARKANSAS.
At the solicitation of numerons friends, in

xne of the most cncourag'ng prospects of suc
cess, I announce myself as a candidate for the
office of STATE AUDITOR OF PUBLIC AC
COUNTS.
The most of you knew t te before the war, at
least by reputation; and ir have only to say of
myself since that time, that during the late
struggle I was connected w ith the Array of the
Confederat e Cause—serving • wit h fidelity “from
the beginning to the end,” and since th# war
have been practicing law in the city of Camden.
But honestly and sincerely abiding the issues
of the war, 1 now claim to b 3 a true and loytvl
subject of the government u nder which I lire
—and ever expect to reinair such.
1 am in favor of a general amnesty, not only
with respect to political olfences; but also,
and more particularly in re gard to w own
domestic party strifes and fe nils. Having no
personally political or parti zari purposes to
serve or subserve, I am williing to forget the
past, and looking only to the future, will
heartily co-operate with all good men, in hon
est, faithful endeavors, to proi note the growth,
happiness and prosperity, of our dear old
State,
It being entirely beyond mv power to per
sonally canvass the larger porti on of the State,
I shall rely mainly upon the assistance of a
numerous circle of friends and acquaintances
throughout the State to present my claims to
the consideration ot the people, trusting that
they, and especially those who were iny com
rades and fellow-sufferers in the late war,
will give me a generous, libera-! and hearty
support. Very respectfully,
