Shall we have War or Peace?

It is useless--crminal almost-to at tempt to disguise great, important facts. We arc in the midst of a revolution. It is as yet bloodless, but we know not what day or what hour may bring us the boom ing of cannon and the red harvest of battle. To the gallant people of the south we hope war has no terrors which could cause them to swerve from principle or the path of rectitude, but prudence is the proper hand maid of courage. and useless waste of blood, of time and treasures, should if pos sible be avoided, To regret it. it is enough for us to know that war must necessarily cause much misery, that it must retard the material growth of the country, that it must destroy educational enterprises, cheek the building of railroads, and thwart the many benevolent projects of the country. On the other hand war has its glories-its proud victories-and the first summons that calls the sons of the south from the peace ful avoeatons of life, will gather, swifter than Scottish clansmen at the signal of their chieftain, hundred thousand brave hearts to the |" feast of swords" But not withstanding the triumphal arches that we might erect, and the splendid ovations that we might achieve, the true patriots of the land will sincerely deplore the necessity that forces us into civil conflict.
 The question then suggests itself, what is the most practical method for avoiding war? And here we have the strongest argument in favor of the secession of Ar kansas. If the south is united, we may. and very probably will, avoid the bloody arbitrament of arms. On this subject the SouA Carolinian very justly remarks:
 Matters have gore SO far that there is no longer doubt that two coufederaces must be formed. If formed now, and in peace, the people of each will live on terms of greater amitv than under one go vernmept If be not formed now, they will be later, after bloody and terrible contest, in which embittered hatred will be engendered and the pros poets of future friendship forever dissjpated. The spirit of modern civilization does not require con solidation of many people and States under one go- veFnment, but the free exchange and intercourse of the people of the States of the world.
 Let us then act cordially with our sister States of the South. as the best method to secure, not only our rights and preserve our honor unstained-not only as the last resort to keep the constitution of our fathers in- tact-but as the surest mode of preserving the peace and keeping our State from the evils of anarchy and the desolation of war and civil commotion. In the union of the South there is strength, peace, prosperity

 Great Excitement at Brooklyn New York
 -Rumored Attack on the Navy Yard.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The people of Brooklyn were thrown into feverish state of excitement on last night by current rumor that sympathizers with the secess- sionists were about to make q descent on the United States navy yard The Fifth Brigade assembled ready forimmediate ac- ton. The 18th, 14th and 18th regiments assembled at the city armory, and the l7th regiment assembled at the State arsenal up to late hour last night, however, there were no indications of disturbance.
 A rumor was in circulation that 10000 men under James Kerrigan were about to make an attack on the navy yard simulta- neously by land and by water.
 It is supposed that the difficulty at the Brooklyn navy yard is complicated with workmen recently discharged, to whom the government is two months pay in arrears

The Hopes of the Union.

Pennsylvania has been long regarded aS one ot the most conservative of the nofln- crn States, and her action in the present condition of affairs has been looked for very anxlously by all who yet entertained hopes of the Union. At last, Pennsylvania has spoken through her legislature. Bya vote of 9o to 26 the following resolution was passed:
 ,, RESOLVED; That we affirm the doctrines of the CHicago platform, as expressing the sentiments oi large majority Of the peoplt, of Pennsy lvanla, a'u mat we nave no reason to ignore it. Wedo rot oeheYe that anything in our political condition de- mands concessions on our part.
 A resolution in regard to the repeal of laws nullifying the fugitive slave law was indefinitely postponed by vote of 49to 26.
 Thus Pennsylvania speaks in hostility to the South. She has nullifed the fugitive slave law, and refuses any and all cOnces- SionS. She has fairly embarked in the cause of republicanism, and will uphold Llncoln'S administration in it's ar upon southern rights. When such 4 spirit ac- tuates Pennsylvania, what is the South to expect or hope for from the other northern States?

The Convention.

We are glad to see that the best men in every county are being called from private life to meet the exigences of the times. In Johnson county, we learn that Hon. w. W. Floyd and Judge Batson are in the field. In Desha, Hon. :. . P. Johnson and w. G. Weatherford are the secession can didates. In Sebastian, Gen. Mayors, we understand, will be the secession candidate. Hon. B. C. Totten and R. s. Can't are the candidates in Prairie county. Either of these gentlemen will ably represent the people in convention. We see no differ ence in the main in their postions-the position of both must necessarily lead to secession.
 Chcot turns out list of able cand- dates: Hon. w w. Sutton, Hon. R. M. Gaines, Messrs. D, II. Reynolds, l. J. Hi- Hard and Samnel R. Walker. These are all gentlemen of talent and standing and, we learn, all secessionsts.

WHAT WILL ARKANSAS Do?--This in terrogatory is frequently heard, especially by editors, who by courtesy are supposed to know all things. To the question we generally reply after the Yankee fashion by asking, what can she do? It requires no argument to prove that we cannot remain in the Union after the secession of the other cotton States. We could not if we would, we would not if we could. Our destiny is interwoven with our sister slave States, and most particularly with Louisiana.- With them we must and will go. Do you doubt it? Can the State hesitate? Do you fear north, or north west Arkansas?- You need not. They are brave and loyal people, and are as jealous of the honor of the South as any portion of the State.- They have been attached to the Union, but when they see that it is hopclessly gone, they will be among the first to strike for the in dependence of the South, and the protec- ton of their homes and fresides.

bLN6o IO The time draws near, when you and I, Must clasp the hand and say " good-bye,'' Nor deem it strange that thoughts awake, Which make my trembling spirit quake, For know you that, through life's short span, Eve never met with love like thine; So pure and artless and so hue, None ever loved like l and you When first saw your radiant face, My heart was filled with happiness, And since ttat day beneath the skies, No other light attracts my eyes, love you, with as pure love, As swells the angel hears above; I do not doubt, for well I've learned, How drdentty my loves returned. But, o, the knowledge of thy love, Is like the cooing of dove, For while it teaches me, De gl1d, It's m1urnfuI accents make me sad. Were 1 allowed to choose my lot I'd never roam from this dear spot; Or if did, with thee I'd go To share tty happiness or woe. Then say not so-" forget me not" For thou can'st neocr be forgot, l'll think of thee each day and hour I'll sing of thee, when in my bower And even when ill the realms of sleep, I'll think of thee, dear one. and weep; Yes, thOu shalt be my endless theme Till life, anu time, and being end.

CONVENTION BnL.--During the discus

CONVENTION BILL.--During the discus sion in the Senate on the propriety of pass ing the convention bill, none took more prominent position than Mr. Askew, Sena. tor from Union and Columbia It was truly amusing to see the many points of the compass to which the great Heenan played. It is true the field of disunion was broad, extending north, south, east and west, and no direction escaped him; sometimes pro, and sometimes con- and no one could tell better when he had closed one of his long speeches, where he stood than when he be- gan.
 In one of his long and eccentric speeches he made some personal allusions that were not understood by the large audience in the lobby. Let those spot me who choose and such newspapers comment on my course as desire" he said; tand though I stand in small minority in this Senate. l have q right to be heard and right to vote. ."-- The Senator's remarks, "let Mose spot me acbo choose," reminded us of very sound spanking the gentleman got in the joint convention that elected Dr. Charles B. Mitchell to the United States Sente. Inn mediatcly after the President of the Senate announced the object of the convention to be the election of U. $. Senator, Mr. Askew rose and moved that the conven- tion adjourn stne die, and gave as reason that to elect Senator would be to yield the whole question of the assertion of southern rights, and that for one he was not in favor of electing Senator at all
 Mr. Nolan arose and inquired of Mir. Askew if he meant what he said, or if he did not wish by the course he took to ad- journ the legislature without calling con. vention? He had long desired to spot" the Hon. Senator from Union, who was claiming to be an ultra southern man, and at the same time laboring to thwart the convention and to do the very thing which he protessed not to desire.

%s~ The citizens of Jackson county held an indignation meeting on hearing that the House convention bill had been killed in the Senate, conforming that body in pretty strong terms. The resolutions were Probabably passed under the belief that the Senate was opposed to convention of any kind. It has since passed a bill, which If not as acceptable to many as the House bill, will answer the purpose, and as we believe Senators were conscientious in the discharge of duty, and acted for what they deemed the best in submitting the question to the people, we do not deem it necessary or desirable to publish the resolutions of our Jackson county friends, as requested. and we hope they will take the same view of the matter. Let us have harmony and good feeling among all the true friends of the South, and do nothing to embitter those who may conscentiousiy differ in minor points of dispute. Let us be friends and brothers in common cause.
