PENirENTiARY.-The opposition in the late General Assembly, 10 making further appropriations for rebuilding this institution, was of such a character, as to warrant the supposition that this subject must, a. the next musings. occupy the public attention .e a very considerable extent. 1 have no intention, a, present. to give expression to any opinion, 1 may heretofore have enter iained in relation 10 this matter, which, am willing io confess, IS not of very decided character, so far as the system by summary punishment, or confinement and hard labor for the protir of the Slate, is concerned. | derived much entertainment ia listening to the debates of the Senate, but WIS of the opinion then, which ] entertain now. that this subject was by no means exhausted. therefore, in advance of any decided perina- nent action upon the part of those entrusted with this important duty, feel disposed 10 elicit, through the colamns of your paper, the views of those most familiar with the subject.
 The peculiar situation of the State con- victs, the existence of criminal code based upon the Penllentiary system, and the want of time io adopt, immediately, different course of action, no doubt determined the vote of many in favor of rebuilding, who were opposed to the system.
 Whether the views of members, however, should he relied upon as correct inlicalion of public opinion at home, may very justly be questioned, as the disastrous revolt and burning of the State prison occurred after the late general election.
 4 temperate, but free, discussion of the subject. at this time. may, therefore, have a mos, salatary effect upon the public mind. IL will become settled, upon this question, before the people, and their representatives wiz have sille else to aA p.an io carry out, in this behalf, the will of ti,eir constituents, when they meet again Tor the public ia,er- est X.

 CAN'T NEAR PARRxs, Msxico,
 Dec. I3, 1916.
 DEAR GOVERNOR: Werrruivctl, iess night, a Baaaer, of the l4th October, the only pa- per from Arkansas, believe, since we left San Antonio; and fear that our mails are as uncertain to the United States, as they are into Mexico
 Isee my friend, Woodruff, is greatly dss- tressed because ! have not resigned my sea, in Congress, and abuses you for not order ing an election.
 It is, perhaps, due to myself, and constis- uents, to make brief statement of the course I thought proper 10 pursue. When left Congress then imagined we would be able to bring the war 10 close by the lst No sember or December, which would have en- abled me 10 take my seat, this session of Congress. In the event, however, of a lon ger term of service, l in,en ed to resign, so as to have my vacancy filled in time for the present session.
 When we Jeff San Antonio, it was belie- ved, by many, that we would not go farther than the Rio Grande, which place we rcach- ed about the 20th October. In day or two after reaching Presidio, we received the in- teIIigence of the battle of Monterey, and the armistice, entered into by Gen. Taylor, which was to last 50 days-until both governments could be heard from. 4 very general opin- ion prevailed, in the army, that peace would be restored, and that we would be dischar- ged in two months, if not sooner which would have given rae ample time to have ta- ken nay seat in Congress. by the middle of December, at faFthest. l, therefore, withheld
  my resignation until the action Of the Go- vernment could be heard from on Ina, pro- position. That decision we received, from Gen. Taylor, on the 17Ih November, while we were lying at Mepelova. Immediately, upon the reception of the Information, ! sent to you letter. of that date, resigning my seat in Congress, which presume you have received, if it has not met the fate of most of the letters and papers sent 10 our re- giment from the UHiied States.
 From this frank statement, you will see that I did not intend to abandon my post, in Mexico, on any accounl; and that held my self ready and willing to lake my seat in Congress, if my duties here would allow me; and, if not, sent my resignation inc mo- nent learned that could not return in time At all events, have done what con- sidered my duty 10 my country, and my con- siituenis, and to their liheraliiy and sense of justice, leave the results.
