I1ES ARC. ARK A N S AS:
Saturday Morning, Jnac 13, 1ST.
The Crescent, with an adroitness,
that in some measure. Is commendable,
shifts the issue that we made with it
last week, and dodges the corners so
skillfully that it is hard to locate its
editorial, in its fitness and applicability- ,
Its editor honestly confesses that lie
could not, at the time he penned tlint
unlucky paragraph, look into the future
and sec the necessity of a change of;
policy, having seemingly forgotten that
two weeks ago he used the following
language:
"At the time our paper made its i>e
lil'T, the country was in a state of per
fect exhaustion. Since then, wide
spread commotion has kept industry
paralyzed, and effectually hindered any
material improvement in tlie financial
condition of the people."
This effectual hinderanec to material
financial improvement was his excuse
for holding up the price of his paper,
and amidst “wide spread commotion
which paralyzed industry" he raised
Ida subscription, throwing at us because
we had reduced ours this little squib,
with an air of arrogance almost une
qualled :
“Our subscription is $4.00 per annum
in advance, the price of all the first
CLASS NEWSPAPERS IN TI1E STATE."
Xot satisfied with this, he came at us
with: (
* * * * "AVe shall resort to no
ingenious corr d'etat for the purpose
of extending our circulation, at an im
mense pecuniary sacrifice, if we were
to reduce our subscription below S4.00
per annum, there would be room for
suspicion that our paper would l>e
short-lived. If others place a low es
timate on the products of their toil, we
shall interpose no objection, and it is
quite natural that reflecting minds
should accept the valuation as correct.''
And new, notwithstanding his late
assertion, relative to the perfect exhaus
tion of the country, lie takes the wind
from his own snils by saving:
“At the time we used the language
quoted, we had no idea that the ilium
_1!^!.... a l... .t .......1.1
demand any departure from it. Noth
ing less than the prescience of Deity,
could embrace and provide for every
emergency ; and if a man wore to stamp
immutability on liis business, lie would
be superhuman."
If the country, when it was perfectly
exhausted, did not financially demand
this step, iu the name of common sense ■
what demands it now. Our neighbor
is unfortunately situated, bis every step
to get out of the mud, sinks him deeper
in the mire. Having told the people
that a reduction of rates would in him
be an evidence of early death ; lie must
expect them to abide by his testimony.
One other gem and we leave our neigh
bor to bis own reflections :
"As much stress as is laid on our
‘•tottering basis," we are happy to in
form our patrons, that we owe nothing
for the printing material used in pub
lishing the Crescent, and our ••neces
sities'' have never been so urgent as to
demand the borrowing a cent. Can the
proprietors of the Citizen say the same,
and tell the truth ?"
As this question is honestly asked,
we honestly answer it. We have bor
rowed money, and expect to do so
again, if neccasary ; for our friends in
Dos Arc have sufficient confidence in
our ability to refund—and we arc not
compelled to slraiu our credit in Mem
phis or other cities. The names of our
proprietors are at tho head of our pa
per; and when we borrow, or ask for
credit, w* do it at home. Can the
I’ROPltl KTOR.S of the Crescent say
this and tell (lie truth. “People that
live in glass houses should not throw
stones."
THE CITY EDITOR.
Our friend of the Helena Clarion.
THE wind letting man. that would seem
to have such a sacred regard for the
purity of classic latin, has deigned to
call us to task again relative to the
egregious blunder committed by the
Citizen in saving “cui bona" instead
of “cui bono," and “perseverando" in
stead of “perseverantia.” Did the
. lassie and chaste editor of the Clarion
ever read of the fellow who went to
the oracle to learn what he must or
could do to inherit immortality? or of
the man who murdered Philip? or of
<1.. .. 1. .. 1.. I 4 I. . '1-_! . 1. . ,
lie might win mi imperishable name?
Then why should not .Sanders aspire
to an immortality in his noble efforts
to hold up aud vindicate the purity of
the old It Oman dialect! especially since
lie is presumed to be fed on beef of a
superior quality? What fortunate
people we of Arkansas are, to have a
classic critic of such relined and culti
vated taste, and lo have such prompt
and courteous friends as sentinels on
the outposts to warn him of the least
attempt to do violence to the classics.
“O, temporal O, mores! Excuse us,
friend Sanders, and wo will sloop our
wing and let you plume your pinions
for a classic atmosphere. The Helena
mountain has been in trouble and a
mouse came forth.
~~oIokT~
From all we can gather, the prospect
for a good crop throughout the whole
country, is better than at this time last
year. Mississippi, Louisiana, and some
parts of our State have suffered much
from high water, and in mauv places
—particularly the Mississippi bottom—
little or no crop will he raised : i et.
notwithstanding this, with the late
planting in the bottom, where it can
he planted, and the present prospect in
the high lands of the older States, we
think the corn crop will at least, be
better than last year.
REGISTRATION.
The preparations have all been made
for registering in this county, and
Commissioners Marsh, Gibson, and
.Tacksou will enter upon their duties ns
soon as ordered bv Gen. Ord.
—— ■■ — m m
The Grand Lodge of Free Ma
sons, now iu session in New York, has
passed a resolution prohibiting any
gift enterprises under the name of the
Masonic lrateruity.
Bread.
An unusual degree of interest and
nxiety prevails in regard to the crops
if wheat, corn, &e., for the present
ear. The dearness of breadstuff's and
irovislons has seriously deranged nil
Mtslness and damaged all industrial in
rrosts. It is the cause of strikes among
aborers and mechanics, for as the cost
if living increases, their wages must
ic increased. For weeks past we have
icen encouraged by accounts from
iverv portion of the country to expect
norc titan nil average crop of wheat,
tnd a very abundant crop of corn. A
great breadth of land and more labor
Ilian usual have bent devoted to those
products. In the South the necessity
lots been felt for more bread, and much
energy lias been employed in producing
it. The cotton factors have made it a
condition of their advances to planters
in Georgia and other States that they
shall raise, besides cotton, nil adequate
supply of corn. Though the season is
complained of ns cold and backward,
there is yet no good reason for any
doubt of the production of their crops.
We arc within twenty days of the usual
time of wheat harvest in Kastern Vir
ginia, and the rains, if followed hv an
intense heat, limy cause rust. Corn
planting lias been delayed by (he weath
er, and the plant may he exposed to
summer drought and early frost.
The stork of wheat ami corn is very
small in tlie West, and supplies are sent
from New York in considerable quan
tities to tint region, the great granary
of the country. The stocks at (lie West
ern centres are now only one-fourth of
what they were at this time last year,
i\ bile at New York they are larger now
than they wore then. It is a remarka
ble fart that the stocks at the seaboard
must largely contribute to the supply
of the country til! the next harvest.—
Large shipments of wheat from Cali
fornia arc made to New York, and fur
ther supplies from that source are < x
ipcctcd. The tirst arrivals of wheat at
New York, from tlie crop of the pres
ent season,are expected from the South.
Wheat from Georgia, it is supposed,
will lie shipped by the tirst of July, if,
indeed, the season should prove as fa
vorable as to promise a large surplus in
that State. 'The prospect is, on the
whole, that within two or throe months
the price of wheat and flour must he
considerably reduced, and that business
affairs will then assume a more cheer
ing aspect.—National Intelligencer.28th

Slavery in Maryland.
A Washington dispatch states that
the debate in the Maryland Convention
upon slavery was very animated. It
says:
"The Maryland Constitutional con
vention spent yestnrday in discussing
mat clause m me lull ot rignis wiucn
says slavery shall not he permitted in
this State. Eleven members participa
ted in the discussion. Seven of whom
urged that the clause should be stricken
out. 51 e. ltitehie, of Haltimore. said
the wanton act by which ttie people of
Maryland were plundered of thirty
millions of property was done in the
prostitute name of liberty, and he wan
ted its shame and odium to rest where
it belonged,
5tr. Jones agreed that tlie act was vi
olent. ruthless and outrageous.
Mr. l’eters argued that slavery bad
not been abolished lawfully, and that
an amendment to that elici t had no
place in the Federal Constitution, and
said Iiehad a letter from ( liarlcs () Con
nor, the great Democratic lawyer of
Yew York, indorsing his opinion.
51r. Drown considered that a great
wrong had been done in abolishing sla
very.
.Mr. Cioldsborongli said I lie clause
was humiliating to the people of Mary
land. and he had no disposition to meet
the perpetrators of this wrong other
wise than in the spirit of defiance."
Diminished Incomes.
The internal revenue returns for the
last fiscal year show a marked decrease
in the incomes of our business men, as
compared with the previous year.—
A. T. Stewart’s last return, for exam
ple, exhibits an income of less than
eight hundred thousand dollars—the
year before it was over four millions.
This falling oil' is regarded liy many
persons as im index of the comparative
dullness of business. That is a mistake.
Itusincsi I a« certainly been hs- active
during the last year than it was the
year before, hut not to an extent cor
responding with the decrease in in
comes. The discrepancy between Mr.
Stewart's returns for the two years in
question is attributable chicfli to tlie
decrease in tlie value of goods. So
with all other merchants. A large por
tion of the goods sold by our merchants
during the last eighteen months have
been sold without profit—many, in fact,
at a sacrifice. It is impossible for dea
lers to make much money under such
circumstances. A buyer may se< m e a
line of goods, and before lie can sell
them again tlie price has probably fal
len so that he will lose money. Such
experiences our merchants have been
constantly going through during the
last year and a half. At the same time,
however, the amount of business tran
sacted has been large. The sales of the
largest drv roods house in the ritv—
that of II. ]>. <'Intiiii & Co.—are said to
have reached seventy million dollars
last year, w hich is the largest business
they ever did. The fact is that much
of the complaint about the dullness of
trade results from tlie tact that mer
chants are making no money, owing to
the depreciation in the value of the
goods. The times for making a fortune
in a year lias passed, and until values
reach their legitimate standard, busi
ness incomes will necessarily be eom
paiativcl. lit.—N. Y. Sun.
JGrii” The worst fears of our people
relative to an overflow, have become
partial realities. For the past four days
the rise in the river at this point has
averaged about six inches every twen
ty-four hours. Many low places, above
and below on the river, are overflowed,
as is a portion of tin* land opposite the
city. Between this point and l.ew i
burg, sixty miles above, we under-tund
that several places which were in cul
tivation. are now under water, it is
concluded, in the absence of any spe
cial information, that many planters
along the river in Arkansas and Desha
counties, are ruined. This is particu
larly unfortunate, as some had mort
gaged everything to procure cnougn to
work their fields this year, and by an
overflow their last hope is swept away. :
The water is rising slowly, bat ns we
have had no recent arrivals from above,
tvo cannot tell how much more to ex
pect. In some places the rise lack
ibout one foot of being as high u« that
of Inst year, while some soy that places
ire now under water which were not
u "tib. If tile water should happen to
recede from to-day, it might be possi
ble to make a crop of corn on the land
overflowed, though the season for plant- i
mg is getting late.—(burette.

After reading this communication
Governor Wells answered as follows:
General Forsythe:

The Governor called upon Judge Ly

witness (o what lie had said. Without
making any response whatever, Gen.

A Sensible Southerner.
The Houston. Texas, Telegraph, tells
of a North Carolina planter, rich and
j happy before the war. who was dcs
' polled during the war of silver and
; gold, and bonds,and negroes, and asses,
and mules and much cattle. All he had
i left was land without laborers, and
! some realty money. t\ nat util Me <10 :
The Telegraph says II walked not the
porticos of his stately mansion, curs
ing tin* Yankees and sighing over milk
that was spilt. This good old North
! Carolina gentleman went to work : he
employed surveyors with log and chain,
and carpenters with hammers, lie di
vided up his estate into farms of one
hundred acres and less, and built snug
little cottages upon every farm. He
then went to the North and hunted up
| good, industrious families , mostly for
eigners. and upon every farm he settled
i one of these families. I nto some he
sold. 1ml unto most ho rented for a
i share of the crop. He also started a
store on the premises, and one of his
1 handsome sons is cotinterhopper. 11 y
! this means, he writes ns. his income has
been raised ton rtguru higher than any
: it ever attained before the war, and his
lands have suddenly been increased 5»M)
; per cent, in value. He communicated
| these facts to the editor of the Tcle

gnu s are free, and recognize the truth
that their freedom is a blessing to the

M t rimer at Pocahontas.—We learn
that the mail carrier on the St. bonis
route brings the intelligence that the
Postmaster at Pocahontas, h'andolph
county, was murdered by two men on
-Monday night last. We have been un
able to learn (lie name of the murder
ers. It is reported that on Monday af
ternoon. a quarrel took place between
the parties during which the two men
alluded to threatened the life of the
Postmaster, 't hat night about 11 o'clock
they broke open a w indow and entered
the room where the postmaster slept,
and shot him as he was il>lng from his
bed. The shots caused an alarm among
, eiti/ens in ihe neighborhood, who soon
rallied and endeavored to arrest the
murdeif's, lint tailed to do so.
The two men alluded to had previous
ly stolen two horses, and had broken
into a saddler shop and appropriated

ed and lied. Tin y are still at large we

Viuoini i Politics,—The liielimond
correspondent of the N. ^ . Times,
speaking of the political standing of
that Slate says:
As the case now stands, the 1’cpub
liean Party of ihe State. organized
at the Htuinieut eon veil I ion on t lie 17th
oi April, is in a hopeless minority in
the Slate, and can he curtain of the
support only of the demoralizing
whites. The disfranchising clause ol
mi! iinmaiv uni will cut oil so very
few of llie former voters that it iV
Imr<liv mi element worthy of consider
ation, anil hence there is ground for
the boasts that the copperhead-rebel
party—as * otts call them; Conserva
tive party, as they call themselves—
will sweep the State by mi immense
majority at the approaching election of
a convention to make a c onstitution
for the State under the military hill.
Not only is there ground for the boast,
but it if very certain that it will be ac
complished, mid thus hand over the
ofliees of the State to the old Demo
cratic hierarchy for years to come.
Suicide ok a Yot nu I.adv.—We
learn that the body of a voting hidv
mimed Miss Hodges, daughter of Mr.
Iteverly Hodges, was found lying be
side tne road, near her lathers resi
dence, in this county a few days since.
She had been shot through the bode
and a pistol laid beside her. it is gen
erally believed that she committed
suicide, as she threw out liintsof doing
so among her friends on the morning of
the day oil which her body was found.
Sice had been to several houses, and
procured sufficient ammunition to put
two loads in a revolver stie hut! with
her, and gave aw ay several articles of
apparel to her friends, remarking that
she had no further use for them.
We leant that an inquest was held in
view of the body, and that the verdict
of the jury was that Mi-s llodges came
to her death by a pistol shot in the
hands of some one unknown to the
jury.—lLtutc -villc Times.

Cot'NTKRKKtT MONEY IN NKW YORK.
--The New York World says:
Of the $27,000,000 or there abouts of
postal currency, about $1,500,000 is in
circulation in this city, and of this
amount it intimated that at least one
third is counterfeit. This counterfeit
currency circulates as readily from
band to band ns tbe genuine paper, for
it is well executed—and moreover, ac
cording to the testimony of a notorious
counterfeiter, tbe circulation is under
tbe especial protection of tbe police,
who are said to receive 10 per cent, of
the entire issue. This, on the half
million of bogus postal currency in

at Albion, New York, last week, and
the jury—discriminating men—failed
to agree. Satisfied with the doubt his
lawyers had succeeded in throwing
about his wickedness, the llevcrcnd
scoundrel and murderer was good
enough to plead guilty to manslaugh
ter in the fourth degree, and was
promptly sentenced by the Court to

Too Tit it:! Too Tbik!—The Nash

the public generally a very good lesson on
the subject, and concludes as follows :
We design these remarks as entirely

plication of them, it would he in refrcnce
to that overworked and badly paid class,
the publishers of which arc called “country
papers,” who are generally tlie slaves of
the commanitea in which they live, and
are considered subject to everybody's
order without fee or reward. To have a
good pre.-s, the public must appreciate the
labors id newspaper men, not by mere
words of praise, but in that substantial
manner which will make them leei an
interest in the business, and devote to it
all their moral energies.

‘How, how V inquired we.
‘Have you any alum?'
‘Yes.’
‘llring it, and some common salt.’
They were produced. Our friend pulver. ,
ired them, and mixed them in equal quauiilcs;
then wet a small piece of cotton, causing the i
mixed powder to adhere, and placed it in the ,
hollow tooth.
‘There,’ s>ifld he, *if that doss not cure you, ■
I will forfeit my head.’
It was as he predicted. On the introdur-,
