MRS. puvAL,s REPLY.

Capt. DANLEY: Ever will remember the time, and the circumstances under which l. on behalf of the ladies of Little Rock, presented this banner 10 our patriotic volunteers.
 The pledge then so freely given by the captain aud his company, am proud to say has been nobly and gloricusiy redeemed by them.
 This flag was borne by your comrades in the thckcst of the fight on the ever glorious field of Bucna Vista, where their dreds of noble daring won our unbcunded admiration, and proved that our generous confidence was not misplaced.
 While we shall ever admire the firmness, the bra- very and gallant bearing on the fietd of those to whom VIC couhded this sacred trust. their suFsrngs and privations enlist our warmest sympathies.
 It Is with feelings of pride and heartfelt pleasure that receive this banner at your hands, rendered glorious by the scenes which it has witnessed, and present it, on behalf of you, your company, aud the ladies of Little Rock. to this Assembly, to be placed with this roll of noble names among the archives of the State, as lasting memento of the chivalry of Arkansas' Sons.

Yesterday wus New Years Day.

Ra,-~spection and Hope invelun- tarijv ns.-4at themselves to thaind. The ghosts sr good resolutions once formed, but forgotten; the memories of "byegoae hours," iiinmincd with pleasure. or daTkened with the shadows of grefi and inc recoliections of "some friendship gone. some kindly heart grown cold," are mingled with fresh derminations to " turn over new leaf," and bright pictures of future happiness and success, gilded by the radiant halo of hope It is the season for " calculating" the future sud summing up the past. While the plans for the coming year are ur- ranged, and fancy Is busy engaged In peeping through the dense veil that shuts out the coming events from our gaze, fast and thick the memories of the past crowd upon us;
 "With marmur soft and low
 Come the ghosts of long ago;
 One by one count them OCT,
 Voices that are heard no more
 Tears, that loving cheeks have wet,
 Words, whose music fingers yet
 Holy faces, pale and fair.
 Shadowy locks of waving hair
 Gentle sighs and whispers dear,
