We the grand jury of Greene county fol the September term of court, 1859, would in a public manner express our high appre- citation of the able, dignifed and impartial manner in which the Hon. M w. Alexan der, judge of our court, has discharged his duties at the present term of our court, and we believe that though young on the bench, he gives promise of brilliant career of judicial honors.
 We would also express our appreciation of the course of $. w. Chiders, esq, attor- ney for the State, and would say without hattery that as long as he may hold his present position, the rights of the Sate and county will be ably urged and protected, and the magesty of the law vindicated in every sense of the word
 We would also express our approval of the prompt, correct and courteous manner in which Mir. F. $. White, sheriff, and H w. Glasscock, clerk of our court, have discharged their respective duties, and ex- press our opinions that they will in future as well as heretofore make able and eff cient officers.
 We would request the publication of this tribute 10 the ability and efficiency of the above named officers in the Little Rock True Democrat, Helena State Rights De mocrat and Pocahontas Advertiser

EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT

LDI1Ok 1kOE IOEAOthaI
 Dear Sir: It is not often you hear from this corner of the State, therefore 1 shall endeavor to give youa small sketch of how we are doing things up here. Crops are the best you ever saw-health as good as 1t is anywhere on earth, and the people as smart as could be expected, and we have the prettiest women in the world, and the most children, and the fatest ones, and we have more springs and the codest wa ter in them-more mill sites and fewer mills than anywhere else, and we are going to have mere candidates next year than any county in the State, and fewer of them elect ed; we have one among the best court houses in the State, we also have magnificent church and masonic hall just now compet- ed, we have three stores and as many groce- ries, three lawyers and five M Ds. o, Dal- las, what wonderful place thou art, situ ated in the far west.
 Well now Mr. Editor, what was going to tell you was, that last week by some miscarriage of the mail, a number of the Old Lying Democrat made its appearance in our town. Well with some sort of curi. osity looked over its golden pages; it is truly wonderful smart paper, it appears to know all things-well it passed around town and all the democrats cried out against it. I heard some two or three know nothings talk like subscribing for 1t, they said they thought it mighty good paper, said they did not like Tommy H. much but Dick Johnson was an awful feller, and they would do anything to fetcn bim down. But be ye assured of one thing, that no true democrat will patronize it or its authors up here. We have no objection whatever to the paper or any of it's editors or patrons, for it is and never will be any thing else but an opposition paper to the democratic party, none but know nothings will stand by it-that paper will soon be their organ, then like Borland and others it will fall to rise no more.
 Yours etc, w. T. B.

These figures show total of taco million. sepen hundred and sity-sir Mousand, seyen hund''ed and tmenty-sir, of which about l. 100000 are infantry, 20, 900 cavalry, 12, OOO artillery and 34,000 riAemen. Proba by these figures are more familiar to Euro peanS than to Americans They count our available force, and base proportionate degree ot respect for us upon it, while we ourselves hardly give it thought. No | other nation has so vast and effective an army as this would be in case of need. It IS practically useless for foreign invasion or for governmental tyranny, Jw for de- tence z as lnvjncible. Itlacks discipline and drill, which compose the majority of every army in time of war. The mass of the men who fought at Magenta and Solferino were no better disciplined two years ago. A few weeks would suffice 10 have any DOT ton of 1t in readiness for service in the held. 1t has two important advantages over European levies, to begin with.
