In Prairie county, Arkansas, on the 1st of October, at the residence of his father, DAN EEL GRAY RErNHARDT, age eight months. Thus is pucked from the domestic garden an- other rose bud, and has been transplanted be- yond the regions of blight.
 In Prairie county, Arkansas, on the Sth of October, at the residence of her husband, Mrs. HARRIET ELIZABETH RErNRARDy, wife of Daniel F. Reinhardt, in the 37th year of her age.
 In all the relationships of life, as wife, mother and mistress, she was all that ought to have been expected of any one She was born in Lincoln county, North Carolina, and in very early life professed her faith in Christ, and through all the trials, clouds and storms of her way, Christ was to her as a hiding place from the storm and 'sshadow of great rock in weary land" The power of her early piety was witnessed in the death scene of one Conjestive Chill, and all is over. It was not an hour of confusion, when the pre- paration for Eternity is crowded into short hour. There is a moral sublmity in such a scene as we are contemplating 'I am going said she to meet the three dear ones that have gone before me, and am glad my dear babe was taken before l waso She then called around her her children and gave to them her dying advice. She urged them to live religious y, to study their Sunday school lessons, espe- cialy their Catechism, and meet her in Heaven. After this she gave her neigh bors and servants a parting farewell, and told them all to meet her in Heaven. c.
 In Des Arc, on Friday morning last, at the residence of Win. Greenslade, Esq, MT WILLIAM l.. BRrM, in the 23d year of his age.

From the Jacksonport Herald of the 26th inst. Important News from Pitman's Ferry Jetf. Thompson Falling Back-An Attack on Pitrnan's Ferry by Feder- als Immident.
 The following letters were received by Col. Board on yesterday at at o'clock. It will be seen that our border is exposed to an at- tack, and that it behooves every man to hold himself in readiness to meet the invading foe at moments notice. Upon consultation with Col. Board, he recommends that every man able to bear arms be prepared to answer promptly any call It is unnecessary to say more. Read for yourselves, and then buckle on your armor for the fray.
 PlTMAN's FERRY ARK, Oct. 9. To Capt H. T. HoDNETT, Pocahontas, Ark.
 SIR :--The enemy at Ironton have been re- Inforeed from Cape Girardeau, and are some !ooo strong Gen. Jeff. Thompson is falling oack to PItman's Ferry, pursued by the feder- al forces. They detached large body of cav airy that are moving towards pitman's. Ferry, either to attack this place or intercept the re- treating force of Thompson. The chances of an attack at this point are imminent Send up all the available arms. The above facts are obtained from despatch received from Maj. Shall. J. J. HERNDON, Com'der of Post.
 The above is a copy of the despatch re- celved at 10 o'clock this morning-Oct. g. We have commenced taking steps to call out the militia, but will not call them out unless there Is certainly a necessity for it. It might be we'll for your officers to take such steps as will enable prompt action in case of necessi- y. send 1t to you, believing that you can nave the proper persons ready for action, and at the same time keep down all unnecessary excitement. If another despatch is received indicating the necessity of calling for assist l ance, 1t will be forwarded without delay. Every available company has been pushed on from this point. Col Desha is with part of his regiment, already two days from Pitman's Ferry to relieve Thompson.
 Yours, J. c. MARVIN,

RECOGNITION A telegraph from Leesburg to the Knoxville Register, dated the Fist, says: The Richmond Examiner reports the arrival here of an agent from England, ac- credited with assurances of the immediate recognition of our government by that Of Great Britain. He reached Richmond via Michigan and the West, but was arrested in Ohio and robbed of his dispatches. The statement is made in the most positive man. ner, and much confidence is placed in its truth.

RECEIVER UNDER THE SEQUEsTRATToN Acr.-We learn that Judge RINGo has ap- pointed Col. A. H. RUTHERFORD, of Little Rock, Receiver under the Sequestration Act, for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Col. R. has issued a notice calling upon every at- torney, agent, present or former partner, trus- tee or ether person, holding or controlling any lands, tenements, hereditaments, goods or chattles, rights or credits, or any interest therein, within the Eastern District of Ar kansas, of or for an alien enemy of the Con- federtte States of America, speedily to inform him of the same; and to render him an ac count thereof, and so far as is practicable to place the same in his hands. Persons failing to do so are, under the law, guilty of high misdemeanor, and liable to be indicted, con- victed, fined and imprisoned.
 It would seem that but two Receivers are to be appointed for the State. One for the East ern and one for the Western District of the Confederate States Court. In our opinion this is wrong. With but two Receivers, the object of the Sequestration Act, so far as Ar kansas is concerned, will never be realised There should be Receiver for each county, in order that the matter of Sequestration may be speedily accomplished. Col. Rutherford may issue notices until dooms. day and he will fail to bring mp class of men who should be made to disgorge. Unless men are appointed in each county of the State, the objects of the law will fail. Judge RlNGo has, thus far, been too slow in this matter, and if he maintains the position he has assumed in appointing but two Receivers for the State, the Government at Richmond should be apprised of it. We have but little doubt that property or the pro- ceeds thereof, that could have been seques- trated three weeks since, has been so arranged that the Receiver at Little Rock will never hear of it. Let Receivers be appointed in eacn county of the State-men who are com Pstent and will and can discharge the duties of the office.

VALUABLE ARRIvAL.-We have evidence, says the Savannah Republican, that British vessel has arrived at a Confederate port with in the past week, from Nova Scotia, with a valuable assorted cargo, consisting chiefly of army supplies, such as clothing, blankets mess beef, butter, crackers, etc. We con- gratulate both the country and the good peo- pie of the port where she put in, for the finely assistance.

FREMoNT's FoRCEs.--It is stated, on the authority of the New York Tribune, special champion of Gen. Fremont, that he has forty thousand troops in his army around Tipton, and seventy thousand in his entire command. The Chicago Times says he has an immense army subject to his orders, and ought to have no difficulty in driving Price into Arkansas.

HE SUGAR AND MoLAssEs CRoP.-The prospect of the sugar crop, which is expected to exceed 6oo,0o0 hhds, being by far the lar gest ever produced, is causing some question among planters and dealers as to what course will most conduce to the interest of all par ties concerned. An address to the planters, in the N. o. Crescent, suggests that ony the best sugars be thrown on the market, inferior qualities being kept for refining; that all the interior molasses be converted into rum, as domestic spirit will be a paying article; that only three-ffths of the crop be sent to market, the remainder being held over; that shi pments be made early to anticipate any hostile inter- ruption, and that other commercial depots be established outside of New Orleans.

CASH ADVANCES ON CoTToN.-We notice that the banks of Georgia are already moving with view to afford relief to the planters, in the shape of small advances on cotton, where with to meet their current expenses, and pay the Statesan Confederate taxes. The Me- chanics' Saving and Lpan Association, Savan- nah, has opened this movement. We give their advertisement:
 Representations have been made by num- Der of persons, that cotton planters needed small cash advances to meet emergencies. To meet this, five cents pound will be advanced upon cotton Tn bales averaging middling quali- ty, delivered in brick warehouse in Macon or Griffin; the cotton there to remain until the blockade is removed, so that it can De fairly sold. For this advance, interest at per cent. will be charged; also, commission of 25 per cent, with warehouse expense and insurance.
