A Military Company.

EDITOR DEs ARC CIrIREN:
 sir:-I may not be amiss to call the attention of the citizens of Des Arc and vicinity, es- pecially the young gentlemen, to the proprie- ty, or importance of organizing Military Company.
 It is useless to speak of the importance of such an organization, we all know it. Recent developments have fully portrayed to the minds of every one the importance of such a move.
 The Governor of our State Is the command er-in-chief of the Militia of the State, and it IS his duty, when Volunteer Company is or ganized, with GA men, with officers, to report the same to him, who is in duty bound to issue arms, such as may be demanded, or re- qnired by the company, subject to the order of the Governor when he may require their services, or the arms.
 suggest that meeting be held on Saturday evening next, and committee appointed to enroll the necessary compliment of men, and that they organize at an early day.

DEs ARC VIGILANCE CoMMfTTEE.--Th or ganization seems to have had good effect in ridding our town of 'certain lewd fellows of the baser sort" True, some few have been permitted to remain after being warned to leave, but this was through kindly feeling on the part of our citizens generally. The town has assumed it's usual quiet, and our whole people, with few exceptions, ac- knowledge the efficacy of the movement. The Committee, we learn, will keep up its or ganization and hold regular meetings once a week, for at least several months to come. We are grati6ed to learn that no violence has been committed upon any person, although threats were made by few of those who felt that their rights had been circumscribcd, as they claimed that they could gamble, or disturb the peace and quiet of the town with impu- nifty.

TIE SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEAS uREs,-A proposition will be submitted at the present session of Congress, says the Philadelphia Ledger, to establish a uni form system of weights and measures, on the decimal principle. It comes from New Hampshire, and is recommended by the Legislature of that State. Congress should do something toward establishing a uniform system of weights and measures, and the decimal system would be the simplest and most convenient. Some ot our State Legislatures have anticipated Congress partially, and have adjusted weights and measures of their own. Pennsylvania, for instance, has adopted the decimal principle in the ton weight, making it consist in two thousand pounds. In other weights the old avoirdupois sys- tenn is the one acknowledged by her leg islation. Some States make the ton con. sist of 2240 pounds, and the United States ton is of the same number ol pounds. All this conflicting legislation tends to embarrass the operations of busl' ness, and induce law suits. If Congress were to adopt the decimal system through out, as 1t has done in the currency, ,4the simplicity and convenience of the ar engagement would soon induce every State to conform to it, and introduce one uni
 form system of weights and measures throughout the country. Sir John Bow
 ring, in speech in England, stated tha 1, 600,000,000 of the human race employ it, adding that there is no instance or record of its ever having been abandoned by any who have introduced it.

both these gentlemen as to the future fate Of the
country no less than the views they have expressed
upon the current condition Of our political affairs
