DES ARC, ARKANSAS :
WEDNESDAY-••• . NOVEMBER 20, 1861,
Close of the Seventh Volume of the
Citizen—Our Future, &c.
With the present number we close the
Seventh Volume of the Des Arc , Citi
zen.
Since the 1st of June last we have lost
over five hundred dollars in sustaining and
keeping the paper up. We determined
to close the volume, in hope that our pa
trons would come to our aid. But in this
we have been disappointed, except in, com
paratively, few instances.
The high price of paper and all the
^hiaterial necessary to carry on a Printing
Office, compels us to adopt the following
invariable rules:
1. No paper will be sent from our office,
hereafter, unless paid for in advance. The
names of all who are in arrears will be
stricken from our Fist.
2. Transient advertising must be paid
for in advance.
3. All Job Work must be paid for on
delivery.
The first number of the Sth vol
ume of the Citizen will be issued on
Wednesday the 4th of December.
Our telegraphic Extras will be
continued as heretofore.

Congressional Elections.—The returns
from this District indicate the election of A.
H. Garland. G. D. Royston and F. I. Batson
are elected in their respective Districts. The
friends of both Patterson and Hanley, in the
Eastern District, claim a triumph.

(2^-The Oxford (Miss.) Intelligencer says:
It is highly probable that the Legislature will,
in a few days, pass a law touching the heart
less speculators in salt throughout our State.
We would like to see the State seal put upon
the door of every salt speculator in the land,
and an agent put at each door to sell the article
at a fair price. Dealers here are demanding
$12.50 per sack.

What Virginiv has done.—The Rich
mond Dispatch says:
She has given herself for the battle ground .
of one and all; she has furnished nearly every
pound of powder and most of the heavy ordi
nance that have been used between the Poto
mac and the Gulf of Mexico; she ha« seventy
five thousand men in the field. In this connec
tion we may add that the labors of her Gover- ,
nor in eominon cause has been incessant. He
has given himself, his time, his talents and
his energies without stint to the glorious work.
We are petsuaded that the Confederate Gov- !
ernment can find no fault with Virginia nor ]
with her Governor, but will promptly acknowl- *
edge that they have been in front rank and
behind no other in toils, struggles, and sacri
fices.
DIED :
In Centre township, on the Gth of October, j
Miss Martha Ann Rives, in the 19th year ;
of uer age. I
There is a solace in the death of the young c
and pure. They go hence to the land ethereal, s
and thus are freed from the ills and perplexi- *
ties of tbis^ur transient life. We deeply
sympathise with the family of the deceased. ■
But a few short months elapsed between the
death of the father and daughter. Though
the hand of a til i ct ion has visited their house
hold, may they bow in humble submission to
the will of Him “whose ways are not as our
ways.” *
“In this, our life, a transient life regard, „
Ours is a state of trial—not reward.”
