Requisition on Arkansas for Three
Ihousand mf.n.—President Davis nas made
a requisition on Arkansas for three regiments
of one thousand men each. Gov. Rector has
issued his proclamation and designated Bafes
ville and Clarksville as the places of rendez
vous. Each company will be allowed to select
their own officers—the field officers will be ap
pointed by the President.

Prosecuting Attorney.—We refer our
readers to the proclamation of Gov. Rector,
ordering an election to be held on Monday the
26th of this month, to elect a prosecuting at
torney for the 5th Judicial Circuit, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation o. J.
L. Hollowell, Esq.
Our friend, Pleasant Jordan, Esq., of
Little Rock, is a candidate for the position,
as will be seen by his circular in our columns.
Ke possesses both the experience and ability to
discharge the duties thereof. He is at pres
ent acting as prosecuting attorney pro. tern.

Kentucky Election.—In referring to the
late election, the Louisville Courier of the 8th
says: “In every section, and in almost every
county in the State, the gains over the elec
tion in July have been extremely heavy. We
have no doubt when the full returns shall be
received, that they will indicate an increased
southern rights vote in the State of at least
twenty thousand. Had the election taken
place a month later, we should certainly have
carried the State by a decided majority. The
assurances that we have everywhere made
large gains—that our party is a growing par
ty—that the strength of the Unionists i9 ra
pidly dwindling away, should encourage our
friends throughout the State to renewed exer
tions. Our cause is just, and our ultimate
triumph certain.

Rags.— lhe Nashville Union and American
calls upon every one to “save all your rags,

What They are I)oi,ng in Nkw Orleans —
A ‘-distinguished foreigner,” just from New
Orleans, communicates the following facts to
the New York Tribune. Speaking of the peo
ple of New Orleans, he says:
Their machine-shops and foundaries nre
producing an abundance of arms and cannon
Some of the finest rifled brass pieces he has
yet. seen he saw at these New Orleans works,
and had no idea they could produce such.
They are building several gun boats, one of
which—the largest—was nearly finished when
he left. It is made out of tire tow-boat Whit
ney, a Baltimore built sea vessel, drawing 12
feet and having two propellers. The sides of
this boat have been cased with six-inch plate
iron, and the bulwarks guarded by double
lapped railroad iron bars. It has several wa
ter-tight bulkheads, so that thp piercing one
will not cause the vessel to sink. Its prow is
a projection of solid iron. Its propelling pow
er are two powerful engines, and the object of
the vessel is to run down the Brooklyn, now
blockading the mouth of the Mississippi.
The French Government has war vessels of
the same kind, built as strongly as iron and
wood can make them, with powerful engines,
made to resist shot and shell, and to sink ves
sels by running against them with ail the
force they can command. That is the way it
is intended to operate with this vessel. Gun
boats constructed after the same style, but of
lighter draft, are being built to operate as far
up as Memphis.

A Sricv Retort to Mr. Ci.ay.—Gore’s
Liverpool Commercial Advertiser has a spicy
editorial in reply to Cassius M. Clay’s letter
to the London Times upon the subject of Amer
ican affairs. It concludes as follow’s :
Great Britain is the best conservato of her
own honor, the best judge of her own interest,
and that as she now right loyally salutes the
stars and stripes, so she reserves the right to
salute the palmetto, should the children of the
South succeed in retaining the independent po
sition which they have assumed, iij forming
themselves in a new Union of Confederate
States. We have to deal notonly with the po
litical, but with the commercial bearing of
the quarrel; and were not a certain line of po
licy forced upon us by our honor in opposition
iu oui interest, in me mere commercial sense
of the word, we would immediately dispatch a
fleet which would effectually open to our com
mercial navy every harbor of the South.
Excuses Himself.—John C. Vaughn, Col
onel of the East Tennessee regiment, writing
from Fairfax Court House, Va., to the Knox
ville Register, thus commences his letter:
You must pardon me for writing you a line
below the stars and stripes, as my regiment
is now living, and subsisting on the supplies
of the Lincoln army. We also write our let
ters on their power and with their pens and
ink. We sleep on their coats, cover with their
blankets, read their Bibles and Testaments,
cook with their utensils, ride in their wagons
and buggies, on their saddles and horses, carry
our provisions in their meat chests, sleep un
der and in their tents; we have their guns and
artillery ready to turn against them. Who
ever heard of such a victory ?
-o o«
l^“The New York World admits that the
rebellion in the South is not the mere gratuit
ous treason that northern agitators, who did
so much to call it into existence, insist upon.
It says:
That the South has no cause for disaffection
is more than we can say The long continued
attacks upon its favorite institution from
northern presses, pulpits, churches, state
legislatures, and inividuals even in congress,
are not to be set down as nothing. Bv some
they were intended to sunder the Union; by
more, however, only to exterminate slavery—
as though the latter could be peaceably done
wihhout the former.

or We cheerfully give place to the fol
lowing, which we find in the advertising col
umns of the Richmond Whig of the 23d alt:
‘•The Devoted Band.”—The shortest path
to peace is that which carries havoc and des
olation to our invaders. It is believed that
there are five or ten thousand men in the South
ready and willing to share the fate of Curtius,
and devote themselves to the salvation of th"ir
country. It is proposed that all whoa e will

selves with a sword, two five shooters and a
carbine each and meet, on horse-back, at some

ried to the houses of those who are visiting
those blessings upon their neighbors. Phila
delphia, and even New York, is not beyond
the reach of a long and brave arm. The mo
ral people of these cities cannot be better
taught the virtues of invasion than by the
blazing light of their own dwellings.
None need apply for admission to “THE

the destruction of their enemies !

A Religious War.—Harriet Beecher Stowe
proposes that the present struggle between the
North and the South shall be designated “The
Religious War.” In this we are inclined to
agree with the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
If is a religious war. It is the Bible and pure
Christianity against infidelity and God dishon
oring crimes, and we are glad to see that the
churches of the South are alive to their respon
sibility in this regard. We learn that in two
days dui ing the present week 175,000 pages
of religious tracts were sent from this city

BLOCKADE.
The blockade of the Southern ports and the
Mississippi river are beginningalready tohave
it« legitimate effect. We copy the following
fmm the Iowa State Journal, which shows
i learly that the blockade will have to be re
moved from the Mississippi, or the Northwest
will be ruined:
The blow's dealt by the Administration to
punish disloyalty are most fearful in their re
coil. The loyal Northwest is being ruined
by measures taken to harass and disturb the
country of the Southern Mississippi. Wheth
ei the Administration knows it or not is a
question somebody else must answer. Wheat
in this city, of a good merchantable quality,
will not bring twenty-five cents a bushel; corn
has been sold and delivered one hundred miles
j east of us for seven cents per bushel, and sti II
down—down is the fearful tendency. It al
w ays appeared to us that the better policy was
to ('rain the South of specie and concentrate
it here.
The loyal Northwest and the disloyal South
feel alike the effects of the blow. The last
stimulated to greater endeavors, sows broad
er acres, and lives while we languish. We
can tell the “blood invoking” advocates of
this war, that the “plain men” of Mr. Lin
coln’s proclamation are becoming aroused.—
They see ruin staling them in the face. They
see every avenue which has hitherto brought
wealth choked up—more, they see evidences
of the animus of this war, and all of them.
Republicans as well a3 democrats, are begin
ning to think From every hill top of Iowa
the cry will soon come, “Peace, take off re
strictions, unlock the channel of trade, give
us peace and life.” We know it: we state
nothing from hearsay or conjecture; it is the
monotony of the people which will become
stronger with the need. The Mississippi
must be opened and the northwest saved.
The effects which have resulted from the
blockade of the Mississippi in the Northwest
will speedily be experienced, indeed, is al
ready being experienced in Kentucky. The
Southern States have heretofore been the prin
cipal market for the sale of the surplus produc
tions of our farmers. This trade, howevei,
is now effectually cut off by the high handed

is said that from every hill top in Iowa the
cry will soon come : 1 Taie off the restriction;

than Iowa. Will she not rise in her might,
and re-open the avenues of trade, and save her
people from the bankruptcy which threatens
to engulph them.—[Louisville Courier.

What a Zouave Thinks of a Mississippi
Bowie Knife.—The Baltimore Sun tells the
following :
One of th ■ New York Fire Zouaves, who
was wounded at the battle of Manassas on
Sunday last, a stalwart, hardy fellow, of con
siderable intelligence, passed through this city
yesterday en route homeward, remaining here
several hours waiting for the cars. He, of
course, has the privilege, like all others, to
tell his own tale, without apprehending, for
the present at least, successful contradiction.
From him 1 obtained a thrilling narrative of
a rencontre between his regiment and a regi
ment of Mississippians.
After the battle had been raging for some
hours, according to the account of this Zotia
vian hero, he saw an immense body of Mis
sissippians, accompanied by some (believed to
be) baltimorians, rush furiously over the Con
federate ramparts. They at once saw the con
spicuous uniform of the Zouaves, and made at.
them. The Mississippians, after approaching
near enough, sent a terrible volley from their
ri 11 e55 into the Zouave ranks. This done, they
threw their guns aside and charged onward
until each contending enemy met face to face
and hand to ham. in terrible combat.
The Mississippians, having discarded their
rifles after the first fire, fell back upon their
Bowie knives. These were of huge dimen
sions, eighteen to twenty inches long, heavy
in proportion, and sharp or two edged at the
point. Attached to the handle was also a
lasso, some eight to ten feet in length, with
one end securely wound round the wrist.
My informant says when these terrific war
riors approached to within reach of their las
so, not waiting to come in bayonet range, they
threw forward their Bowie knives at the
Zouaves after the fashion of experienced har
pooners striking at a whale.
Frequently they plunged in, and penetrated
through a soldier’s body, and were jerked out.
icatij iu piiift*; again w191. me nrst victim
sunk into death. On several occasions, the
terrible Bowie knife was transfixed in a
Zouave and the Zouave’s bayonet in a Missis
sippian, both impaled ana falling together. So
skillfully was this deadly instrument handled
by the Mississippians that he could project it
to the full lasso length, kill his victim,'with
draw it again with a sudden impulse, and
catch the handle unerringly.
if by any mischance the Bowie knife missed
its aim, broke the cord fastening it to the
aim, or fell to the earth, revolvers were next
resorted to and used with similar dexterity.
The hand to hand closing in with both pistol
and Bowie knife, cutting, slashing, carving,
aDd shooting almost in the same moment, was
awful beyond description. Blood gushed from
hundreds of wounds, until, amid death, piti
ful groans and appalling sights, it staunched
the vety earth. My Zouave champion says
himself and comrades did hard fighting, stood
up manfully to the murderous conflict, but
never before knew what undaunted bravery and
courage meant.
He felt no further ambition to engage in
such rencontres. Hiving been shot through
the wrist by a revolver, after escaping the
fearful Mississippi weapons, and disabled
from further active par.icipation in the st ug.
gle, he willingly preferred to leap the glory ;
won, convinced that to fight against Mississip
pians with Bowe knives and pistols, after re
ceiving a volley of their sharp-cracking ri
fles, is no ordinary fun.

Dispatches Direct for Europe.—We i
learn that Senor Moncada, Spanish Consul for i
the States of North Caroline, South Carolina, i
and Georgia, has dispatched special messengers i
to his Govenment in Madrid, as well as to the ;
Governor General of Cuba, giving the full ac- I
counts of the great rout of the 21st inst. He
has also made arrangements to have the latest
news of the war from Southern source, regu
larly telegraphed to Madvia immediately upon ]
the arrival of the steamer at Liverpool. This
would imply that Her Catholic Majesty’s Gov
ernment is not far behind England and France 1
in anxiety concerning the issue of the war._ 1
[Charleston Mercury. ]
“Manas as.”—The Rev, L. A. Ware of !
Richmond, Va. in a portion of his prayer open- 1
ing the proceedings of the Confederate Con- ■
gress on the 25thj referring to the thanks as- <
cribed to God for our late great victory, be- I
•ought tiuc he would so impress the hearts *
the people with a sense of his providence
»nd goodness that the name “Manassas” should
ilways remind them of its scriptural sig
nification, which was: “God hath unde us to t
iorget all our trouble.” ,
ANOTHER OF RUSSELL'S FALSE
HOODS REPUTED.
It will be remembered that. Mr. Russell, of
the London Times, who has recently exhibited
such proficiency in the act of lying, stated in
one of his ietters what purported to be a con
versation between himself and “a very intelli
gent southern gentleman, formerly editor of a
Newspaper.” upon the probable policy of the
Confederate States in the future, regarding for
eigners and the right of suffrage.
This “Southern gentleman” publishes a brief
card in the West Tennessee Whig, ana show's
said Russell to be a considerable romancer.—
We extract :
Mr. Russell does me great injustice, and
does our people great injustice generally, in
this letter. I did give it to Mr. Russell as
my opinion that when we drive back the ty
rants and usurpers of the North, (of which we
never had a doubt.) secure our independence
and establish our permanent government, that
no man who did not reside here at that time
could ever have access to our ballot box.—
There is no injustice in this to any one. I
asked him the direct question if we were not
right, he replied that we were—that against
that radical doctrine of universal suffrage, his
government had been fighting for years, and
that the strongest argument brought to bear
against them was the prosperity of tile United
(States, which gevernment did open its ballot
box to the world.
No man is worthy of a place in the South
ern Confederacy who would deprive any one,
who passes through this struggle with us, of
any enjoyment or privilege granted to the high
est favoied in the government.
I would not have noticed this matter, but
from the fact, that the charge is so ur.just.
arid might be believed by some.
The Effects in Europe of the Great Bat
tle in Virginia.
The effect of the battle near Manassas Junc
tion, fought in obedience to the foolish and fa
natical cry, ‘ On to Richmond!” raised by
the Republican press of this city—The Tri
mine, tne limes anti tne rest, as well as by
the blood-thirstv Jacobins of Congress—is
likely to prove most deti in ental to the inter
est of the United States in Europe, and in the
same ratio advantageous to the cause of the
Confederate Stales. In the view of foreign
nations it will eclipse with a dark shadow
the bright prestige of our aims. It will inju
riously affect our financial condition both here
and there, and it wil enable the rebels to
raise at home, and perhaps abroad, upon the
security of their cotton and tobacco, funds to
carry on new campaigns, while there can be
no doubt that they will be inspired with fresh
courage to stiuggle for their independence,
even after the future defeats which await
them. The disaster at Manassas will cost the
country one hundred millions of dollars more
to achieve the object of the war than would
have been necessary had not this terrible blun
der been made. And instead of a short war.
after which tile nation^ recuperative energies
would speedily regain the lost ground, we will
probably have a long and tedious conflict,
which will exhaust our resources and protract
the commercial distress and the stagnation of
every kind of business unless what is connect
ed with naval and' military operations. We
will now have to recognize the army upon a
new basis, and prepare for a terribly and ex
pensive struggle.
The knowledge of these facts in England
and France cannot fail to do the country vast
injury. The British Government will proba
bly go t ack to the position it occupied before
the fail of Sumter, when the rising of the
fsoitb brought a charge over the spirit of its
dream. Before that time it was almost ready
to recognise the independence of the rebellion’s
States. It will now assume the same attitude,
and probable soon send out other ships-of-war
to bteak the blockade, for which we fear it
will bo only too easily to find an excuse. It is
true the English, as a people; sympathise with
the Northern States, as do the Canadians; for
they are anti-slavery in sentiment; but the cot
ton lords of Manchester and the majority of
the feudal aristocracy of the whole country—
the political elements which rule John Bul'l_
will rejoice at the calamity which has befallen
us ; for it will facilitate their operation for
the double purpose of getting cotton and break
ing up the republic of the United Stat«s of
iNortn America—trie great political and com
mercial rival of the British Empires. The
cotton interest of England care little what be
comes of this country, provided it can get the
staple upon which it lives, moves and has its
being. The nobility, in common with all the
privileged orders and crowned heads of Europe
look upon our institutions with an evil eye’
1’he example of self-government in a nation
if thirty-two millions, in which there is no
caste, and in which the fundamental principal
s “liberty, fraternity, equality,” was hitherto
r standing menace amt reproach to the despot- ■
sm which holds hundreds of millions in bond
ige. By the failure of this republic the men- <
ice and reproach are removed, and by the
■eduction of the United States from a first rate i
;o a second class Power, there would be one
competitor the less for the supremacy of the 1
leas. The British aristocracy and all the
potentates of Europe, will, therefore, gloat '
>ver the misfortune which has happened us
whatever their diplomatic representatives may •
say to the contrary. 3
Such, then are the sad results of the influ
ence of a foolish and fanatical press, and of
he equally foolish and fanatical men whom 1
.he people have unfoi tunately sent to represent
hem in Congress, overridir^’the militaryjudg- t
nent of General Scott, an if the common sense
if the President, and driving the machine of t
jfovtrnment to destruction, like a railroad train
hi which aie half a dozen drunken madmen, c
with loaded pistols in their hands, who con
qiire to force the engineer, at the peril of *
nstant death, to go ahead at full speed, no,
natter what trams may be meeting or what t
rbstacles may be in the way. Under such cir
cumstances, what could be expected but a >
lisaster at home and loss of prestige and pow
t abroad ? The lesson administered to us is a
i severe one. Let us pi ofit by it befor e it is f
