For The Cecil Wig.
LETTER TO SCRiGGS,

DEAR SIR-I was glad to hear from YOU
through the s.Whig,' but feel some solicitudc
for your safety on account Of the unacccunta-
bic audacity Of that caiamonnt that mounted
your door step, but you left us in the dark as
TO whether the fellop escaped with Il whole
hide, or whether your stub anil t,rist made him
rue the day.
perceive that Your s'scntcncc is for open
war; You are ont Of the muster roll now,
and no danger of being drafted, ard such IL
contounded ways off from Tie sea board, YOU
will hardly volunteer.
There is great sympathy now in Christcn-
Il I'M for the Mahomcdan religion, and some
will think, may be the remains ofthc prophet
did ascend without the aid Of load stone; and
We shall probably hear some lcctuc5 on the
cxcellcncy Of the Koran.
\ friend Of mine is looking on this war with
great interest as Il tuliilmcnt ofprophccy: lie
secs in it the opening Of the seventh seal; Tie
'h:cc mcdiating powers being the three un-
q AN beasts that come out OF the mouth Of
the dragon, and Turkey being the false prophet
He also sees n it the restoration Of the Jews.
on this wise: Turkey in order to carry Oh Tie
war must borrow large SUMS Of money. and Il
favorable opportunity will thus be afforded 10

the Holy Land, and gather together his
brethren who are s'siitcd as corn among the
nationS.'' And lie further believes that the
restoration Of the Jews, and the Millennium

dare not hazard All opinion.
The price Of grain has advanced greatly,
and many are expecting it to 20 much higher
this is very well for the farmers who have
grain to sell, but it is hard on those farmers
who have grain to buy. Some years ago WHEN
the famine in Ireland caused such a rise in
grain, one of our farmers was ovrrjoycd with
the news, and meeting Il nci ghbor he cXclnim-
ed, ''good news! good news grains risin,
and the Irish all sLryin to dcath.''
When the spring opens the market will be
full Of western grain and flour, and the store
houses Of Eastern Europe have abundance Of
grain, and the great war will turn ont like Il
hog Stcaring you have heard Of 'more noise
than WOOL in consequence the prices will go
down. | suppose you are not very near
mark' out there about the White River, and
the Big Back River, hut you may be nearer
it, than many here. for the man who has moth
ing to scil is the farthcat from market.
Iou are in the county Of lizard, named
suppose after Gen. lard, and not after the
Letter .sI,' the Omega of our alphabet, form
clly called ''i2ard'' then seed" and now see
this is progressive age. Did the multi
caulus and the Rowan potato reach Arkansas,
and has the great emblem of progressive de-
mocrucy, the Shanghai chicken arrived among
You! His gong-likr clarion would cause the
catamornts to abSquatuatc.
Yours is strongly democratic State, and
Pierce went in like a wlrlwind, hut man
may be too strong. Great complaints Of the
Post office department as compared with its
efficiency under Fillmore. II. Soulc, (Pctcr
Souily) all son have been maintaining tie
honor Of our country as far as some remarks
on lady S dress were concerned, and pulled
trigger to make some vacations at Madrid.
Then Mr.. Mason has contrary to orders, al
pearcd in fill court dress at St. Cloud. Great
country this-.ftNJtw forty, cr.afgM.
None Of the ardcat sold now at the railroad
stations here, and the old equity fellows that
used to limp ont of the cars i'll such hurry
for smclief, now keep their seats, and the
ears hardly stop before the cry is given fall
aboard and away in quick time. No bowls
Of hot coffee, and boiled eggs now set ont for
the travelling public. Great changes going
on. Yours, truly, Il.
