The War News.

We refer our readers particularly to the telegraphic dispatches in our paper of to- day. We give them in full and to the ex- clusion of much other matter. As to their reliability, we can assure our readers there is no doubt of it. They are but too true. Our country is enveloped in the flames of a civil war. To what extent it will rage, how far 1t will reach, or how long it will last, it surpasscs our poor ability to predict. It is enough for us to know that war has been levied upon the South, and that the North have determined if possible to overwhelm and destroy us. The northern people are marshalling and arming and offering their services to Mr. Lincoln by thousands. He only called for seventy-five thousand men, and already over half million have rendered their ser vices. It has been said that our troubles were not to be attributed to the people, but to the politicians of the North. Therein has been the mistake. It was the people, not the politicians. The people goaded the politicians up to the fighting point, and they are now but carrying out the mandates of the people The evil lies deeper and beyond the mere politics of the North. It exists in the religious and moral education of the people. They have been taught to despise and hate us at their mother's knee, in the school room, and before the altar of the church The sentiment of hostility to the South has grown with their growth, and strengthened with their strength. It will be satisfied with nothing less than our complete overthrow and thorough sub iugation Neither the laws, the constltu- tion, nor the decisions of the supreme court have afforded us any protection. All. have been overridden and trampled under foot when they have afforded the slightest obstacle to the accomplishment of their cherished object.
 The people of the North are our invete- rate foes. It is impossible for us to live in peace or harmony with them. They will not tolerate us as equals. They de- sire our complete subjugation. The dread alternative is presented to us to live as the subjects of northern tyranny and avarlce, or to fight for our independence. As one man the people of Arkansas will choose the latter. They had rather die as freemen than live as slaves.
 Many of our people thought, or rather hoped, that it was impossible that Lincoln would levy war upon the South. All know that though such step might bring temporary suffering upon the South, in the end 1t would be fatal to the people of the North. The separation that has now been effected, finally and forever, will lay the best interests of the North in hopeless ruins. It does seem that such a step could never have been taken, that such calamity could never have been courtcd, but the ways of Providence are indeed inscrutable.

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT IN LITTLE RocR. The war news has perfectly revolutioniz ed public sentiment in Little Rock With in the last twenty four hours we have heard some of the most prominent Union men openly avow they were no longer for the Union. We heard Dr. Kirkwood express himself in favor of immediate secession, and we heard Mir. Charles P. Bertrand say he was now a rebel.
 This is as it should be, and we welcome all such to our ranks. The people of the state ought to be a unit, and they must be. For some time past, we have all been rebels at heart, if not in acts. Rebellion against oppression and injustice is righteous in the sight of God and man. We are as good rebels to-day as our forefathers were in '76, and we expect to achieve an independence equally as glorious and more lasting.

IF The telegraph informs us that, at the war department, on the 1lth of April, cold Abe" administered the army oath to five companies of the soldiers in garrison around Washington City.
 This swearing business was no doubt suggested by tho fact that few days be- fore some of the soldiers got on spree and gave nine cheers for Jeff. Davis. But it is all no use. Oaths wont save him. They didn't save Sam and they wont save "Old Abe" Itis something to know that the soldiers under Old Abe's very windows are hurrahing for Jeff. Davis. That is a nut for our Union friends to crack.

An Unquestionable Change.

great change has taken place in the tone of administration circles, and the conviction is gain ing ground that the spring elections being over and the loan negotiated, decisive policy is now being adopted in reference to the Southern question. A menLi,er of the cabinet remark ed. to day, storm is coming. .''- WaSh Cor, Gin. Com.
 That is to say, the people were to be cajolei in- to giving their votes to the republican party, and the capitalists their money to the republican admin straton under the impression that peace was to be preserved But these objects have been accomplished the nation is to be hurried into war; Such duplicty will meet its reward in due time.
 So Lincoln's pacific tone is explained.- His treasury was empty and he wished to borrow of the New York capitalists. Un- der the promise that he would not plunge the country into civil war, he borrowed 100000 With that snug sum he naturally felt independent, forgot his prom ises, and undertook to reinforce Fort Sum- ter.
 His faithlessness and duplicity have been severely avenged. His attempt to rein force Sumter was not only disgraceful failure, but caused the bombardment and surrender of the fort itself The flag of the Southern Confederacy now waves over the walls of Ft. Sumter, and the redoubt- able Mai Anderson, the hero of the union shriekers, is a prisoner of war in the South ern Confederacy.

Effect Of War upon Agriculture

More than hundred thousand active
northern men have rescntly forsaken the
ordinary pursuits of agriculture, manuiac-
lures and trade, for the defense of their
country, and the entire body of those left
at home are giving much timca and thought
to the same object The result must be
n greater demand for farm labor, dmi-
mutton Of crops at the coming harvest. and
higher prices for farm produce next year.
The tccming millions Of earth and all its
armies depend solely upon agriculture for
bread. Food is the first and daily ,cqui-
site of every human being. In time Of
war there is always waste of food and
moro is needed to the same number than
IN time of peace, Buyers for the army
may by Wholesale empty the market and
thus seriously affect lrices. The demand
for meat and bread will consequently
greatly increase. The states most likely
to be tho scene of conflict will do but little
for their own support, for tho spirit of
war gives feeling of insecurity unfavo;- =
able TO agricultural pursuits. The South
the present season will prodrcc but little,
for the blacks and whites havo somthng
else To do. Added to this the amounts
from England of wet spring, rendering
planting impossible in many cases, will
it is thought, even with future favorabl,
weather, reduce tho crops fully ono thir,
below the average. Famine may trea,
closely on the heels of war. and be NOR
relentless. The farmers, therefore have
double foe to fight, Thy are commissions,
to feed the world and to protc' mankinC
from famine. Greater eXerton than usua
will bo necessary to do this, and the farm
os should at once understand it Lei
every patriot and lover of his country'i
liberties, do all in his power to increase
the productions OF the staple crops. Fol

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is n constitutional disease, n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pcrvades the whole body, ard may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor Is there ono which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous tant is vnriously
caused by mCrcmial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, by the vcncrcal infection. What
ever be il, origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stiution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems TO be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquitics of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubcrclcs; in the glands swcllngs; and on
the surface, cruptons or sores. This foul corr
rupton, which gcmdcrs i'll the blood, dcprCssos
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power 10 with
stand thc attacks of other diseases; consc-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous III their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
systcin. Most of the Consumption which de-
climates the human family las its origin directly

destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, BRAIN

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such n remedy is invaluable in districts
where these alllicting disorders prevail. This
"CURg" cXpcls the masmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGrE from the system, and prevents the de-
voopmcnt Of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach Of its prcmonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy yet discovered for This class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and proicc
ton. A greT-sTJeuorty of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Incrmttcnts is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious ELECTS whatever upon the consttu-
