 Operations.

NEW YoRK, April 2S.-The CunarC steamship Africa, Capt. Shannon, arrived at this port this evening. She left Liver pool on Saturday, the 18th inst.
 She brings further advices in relation to the peace congress, and other items O interest.
 THE PROSPECT OF PEACE OR WAR
 LIVERPOOL, April l6.-A Dresder journal announces that the peace congress will assemble on the 23d of April at Carls. ruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden Baden and that the proceedings of the congress will be opened by offering resolution fol a general disarming of the belligeren powers, as preliminary condition to the discussion of the Italian question.
 The London News expresses the opin. ion that the congress will be just as likely to prepare the way for war, and em. bitter the hostile parties towards each other as to avert it, and that war, instead o peace, may be promoted by a congress as- sembled under such circumstances.
 It is supposed that the proposals of Aus. tria, as to the points to be submitted to the congress, are wholly unacceptable tc France.
 The Paris Patrie says that France can. not be expected to diminish her army un. der the existing state of things.
 It is reported that the Pope will protes against holding the Congress.
 The French naval officers on leave oi absence have been ordered to join theil ships, withoutdelay.
 It is rumored that the Emperor Napo- leon is soon to leave for Lyons. where large bodies of troops are being concentra- ted.
 THE PARIS CONFERENCE.
 The London .News says that the resul, of the second meeting of the Paris Confe. renee is, that England, France, Russia Prussia, and Sardinia, shall recognize the election of Couza by the Danubian Prin. cipalIties, and Austria and Turkey are te stand aloof
 RUSSIAN VICTORY.
 A telegraphic dispatch from Saint Pc. tersburg announces that the Russian army under Gen. Maurel, had gained decisive victory over the Crcassians, and that two thousand Circassians came into the Rus sian camp after the battle.
 FRENCH TROOPS FROM AFRICA.
 The Paris correspondent of the London Times states that all hopes of peace have been abandoned, in consequence of the arrival of more troops from Africa, a Marseiles.

SABBATH SCHOOL CELEBRATION. Accord ing to previous arrangements, the Sabbath schools of Des Arc celebrated their annlver- sary on Saturday last. The display through out was both unique and beautiful. Near one hundred and thirty children were in the pro- cession. As they marched along our streets their smiling faces reminded the looker-on Of e achildhood's sweetest hours" The exercises of the day commenced by recitations from the scholars and the awarding of premiums; after which our friend, D. W. DAVIS, Esq, deliv- cred an interesting and highly entertaining address, upon the subject of Sabbath Schools. The procession then marched to the Grove, under the marshalshp of T. JEFF. JoBE, Esq. A sumptuous picnic was here served up; and untii late hour, all enjoyed themselves in gay and lively sports upon the green-carpet- ed earth'' May this anniversary be long re- membered, and each revolving year bring, in
 It's happy turn, like demonstrations by the Sunday School children of Des Arc.

 BROWNSVILLE EcHo.-After several weeks issue without an acknowledged editor, this sheet has placed at it's mast head the names of I. c. HICKS and B. F. COULTER as editors and proprietors. We clip the following from the C Echo'' of the 27th ult.:
 MEMPHIS AND LITTLE ROCK RAILROAD We commenced the discussion of this subject in a spirit of kindness, and hoped that it would be conducted in such manner as to be offensive to no one, but we find that the editor of the Citizen, for reasons best known to hlm- self, induges in personalities and offensive language, to which we have no inclination or desire whatever to reply. We are not dispos- ed to bandy epithets continue a controver sv with one who seems to mistake billingsgate for argument We shall, therefore, in future, discuss this subject without regard to any thing that may appear in the columns of the Citizen. We cannot close this argument, however. without assuring the editor of the Citizen that he will find above the names of the editors of this paper, and that we are re- sponsible for any and everything that has found place in our columns.
 We too began the controversy ( in spirit of kindness,u and leave the readers of both napers to decide who was the first to C in- dulge in personalities and offensive language" Your sheet commenced the bandying of epi- thets and using '' billingsgate for argument.'' We shall, therefore, in future discuss this sub feet as seems best in our own judgment new CT failing to present the mistaken notions of the editors of the C Echo'' in proper time ard place and whenever they suffer their feelings to get the better of their judgment, and ac- cnse us of se claiming for our village and township greater population than either pos sess," they may expect disclaimer not dis similar to that in our paper of the 22d ut. We too, take the liberty of assuring the edi- tors of the ''Echo'' that they will "get them- selves into trouble" on every occasion, in which they rely upon the statements of cer- tain s' lewd fellows of the baser sort" Bet ter " GO LoNG'' and reason, than listen to med- dlers and interlopers.

 Posr-OvF1cE, DEs ARc,
 May ?, 1859 g., Min EDITOR :-Permit me, through your .ol,rors. to correct some errors into which <ho oditor of the " Echo'' has fallen, in regard to tbe mail matter for Brownsville being received through this office. Some two monehs since. I received request from the post-mas- for at Napoleon, through the clerk of the mall boat. for list of all the offices with wnich ,ve had direct mail communication; and as we have regular mail from Des Arc to bro"hs- ville. it was put on the list with the balance. did not inquire for what purpose he wanted tba list. So far from having any desire to o,a the mail matter from Brownsville come through this office, would rather we had less than legitimately belongs to this office, as IL IS source of trouble, and is of no profit.
 The editor is in error in regard to the mall rootter for Brownsville lying week in this office, The longest time it was detained here was from Tuesday until Friday, three days The Friday's mail was not detained more than two or three hours.
 So far from wishing to injure the interest of Brownsville, wish it all the success ln the world
