B1r A general mass meeting of the citizens of Sebastian county is to be held at Greenwood, on the 1st Monday in De- cember, for the purpose of forming an Agricultural Association We are glad to see this, and hope that other counties will soon follow suit. It is high time that the people throughout the State should manifest their interest in improving the quality of stock and agricultural products. And we may add that the way to accom- plish this, is for every county in the State to have its Agricultural Association.

 AID FOR BRowNsvILLE.--The Mem phis .apalanche of the l2th inst, in re- ferring to the fact that the Mayor of Brownsville, Texas, having petitioned for aid from the Government, says, "last night it was rumored in the city that dis patches had been received from the Sec retary of War. authorizing the enlistment of volunteers to proceed at once to the scene of hostili.ies. This is not so im- probable as it might at first appear, as the Government as already dispatched all its available forces--a company stationed al Baton Rouge-to Brownsville, and all the regular troops are now stationed on the frontiers farther North, from whence it would not do to withdraw them at present. If it should be the case that the Govern ment desires volunteer companies to be enrolled for such purpose. hundreds could be enlisted in Memphis at an hours mo- tice."

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
MnMrnIs, Nov. l2.


 After one of the most agreeable trips 1t was ever my lot to make from Des Arc to Memphis, we arrived here yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. The Gen'l Pike is . 'scapital boat and her officers all that could be desired, both as gentlemen and experienced boatmen. Her capacity for the accommodation of both freight and passengers. is equal to many on the Mis- sissippi tha. are noted as " the very best that float''
 No, lillle excitement has been crealed here since Wednesday proceeding from the arrest of one w. R. Palmer, who is charged with compici,y in the late insur- rec,ionary movemen. at Aarper's Ferry. He was committed to jail, and has made attempts to be heard by writ of habcas corpus, which has been justly denied him, and he has been remanded to prison to await requisition from Gov. Wise ol Virginia. Palmer was committed in de- < fault of baltic the amount of $2 2,500.
 A fellow, who gave his name as John Birnside, proclaimed himself an aboli- tionist al Helena on the 10th. He was treated to ride on rail" and ordered b leave the State. The rail has been markedaand may be seen ion exhibition
 . as the Helena wharfb boat, properly youched for asthe identical rail that others of like principles may expect to travel astride of should they visit that particular location.
 Both Juge Carothers and Judge Mo. Kiernan refused to grant the petition of w. K. Palmer for . writ of habeds corpus and the accused is still retained in custody in pursuance of the decision of the com hitting magistrates. It IS minated on the streets to-day, that startling develop ments have been made through various letters found in Palmer's possession. His complicity with the Harper Ferry affair is believed to exist to greater or less ex- tent During his trial the feelings of the people were excited. and I have little doubt but that he deserves much severer treatment than that which was "meted out" to Birnside at Helena, few days since.
 Notwithstanding the low water, and the large quantity of cotton for shipment in the hands of Memphis merchants, you will observe from the reports of the market that good prices and fair demand for the great staple is kept up by the business men of this magnificent point of trade and commerce.

Grccley TO tho PubII.

The madness of Old Brown and his coufeder-
ates in preserving all their letters with minute
memoranda of all they sent away, would seem
Providential. But for this, thousands of toler~
ably intelligent people would have been so
blinded by party spirit as to half believe that
some eminent Republicans were at least cogni.
can't of their insane raid. But here are their
atterS, their diaries, which utterly disprcve and
refute this hypothesis, rendering honest belief
in it impossible A negative is proyed-an ac-
quittal rendered inevitable by testimony which
our adversaries have themselves hunted up and
spread before the public. They have had the
exclusive ransac6ing of the premises, the bags
gage, the bodies of their prisoners or victims,
and the result proves that no Republican whom
anybody ever heard of=had even suspicion Of
their wild attempt at Instruction.
Mr.. j. 81. Kagi, the John Henrie" and Sec

first outbreak of the Border-Ruffiau troubles
there has been William a. Phillips as is perfect
y known. lie is the only person we ever en-

he Is nov required to give but a portion of his

unteer, and without any previous arrangement
with US, wrote us a few letters from Kansas and
several from Ohio, some of which we printed
and pnid him for; but he was never sent by US
to Kansas, noI employed by US while there, ex-
cePt as aforesaid. If there is anything to be
made out OF these facts, our adversaries arc
welcome to it. -
