EDIToRs TRuE DEMocEAr-
 Srs: h the Missouri Republican of the 4th inst, we find letter purportng to be from man of our State, who lives ill Van Buren, Ark, which we send you.
 He says he is {" southern man, southern born and southern raised, and descended from southern parents, and one who has an opportunity of know ing that Western Arkansas is not unit for seces- sion, and all reports to that effect to be false.' We think that such a man, one who has no re- gard for truth and ntertains such principles as he does is unquestionadly an abotionst-should be hunted up, and made to "leave or swing;' and we are of the opinion that the latter would be the better All such men should be dealt with severe ly, notwithstanding every one who knows any thing of western Arkansas, knows this letter to be the embodiment of falsehood of the blaclest hue, vet it is well calculated to give aid and comfort" to the black republicans.
 The inconsistency of tAis man should be sufficient to show to the "Repubican' that it is false, vet. in the face of reason and good sense, he publishes this letter to the world.
 Is it not very strange that man can keep three men in subjection in this country? We think it passinsly strange.
 Now we request of you to demand the name of the writer of the letter, of the :" Republican" and if he refuses to give it, he should be considered the writer of this faLsehood and the same shown to the world.
 We make this request of you. hoping you will do if you think proper, if not, dispose of it as you see fit. Yours respectfully,
 H. J. HUMPHREYS,

VAN BUREN, ARK, May Is, 1S61
 MT. EDITOR: In your issue of April 30, notice the following: "Western Arkansas is a unit for immediate secession, and none are more strong than the heretofore union party. The whole peo- pie here, whatever may have heen their opinions heretofore, united as one against what they deem the aggressive policy of the administration. A war feeling is prevalent" Now sir, allow me to speak a word in contradiction to the above. I will first say that am southern man, southern born and southern raised, and descended from south en parents-one too, who has an opportunity to know the above to be false. The people of western Arkansas, the true people, the bone and sinew of our land, yet in sentiment and at heart for the preservation of our once glorious union. When it falls to pieces, and no plank is left upon which to tread then say reconstruct upon the basis of the old. We have with us fanatical party who seek the destruction of our union for the purpose per sonal ambition, the organic law of which is rule or ruin, ef-a9grandi=ement and self gain. Our State may to-day be out of the union if so, it IS not by the consent of the people, for, left to the people, Arkansas would ever remain under the eagle s pinions and stars and stripes. But the very source of power is denied power. We are told by the leaders that if we say union, we are aDolltonists, and we must leave swing; this IS one cause that so little is heard from our union men, The seces- sionists make all of the fuss. The bowling of one wolf at fl distance is taken for three or more; for tbis reason those in other States think the whole naonle of Arkansas are for secession. If direct vote were put to the people, western Arkansas would be loyal to the union by three to one, or more. Yours,
 A WESTERN ARKANsIAN."

IN CAMP, NEAR VAN BUNEN, June SO, lOOl.
 MEssRs. EDIToRs-This morning Sunday Col. Churchil's Regiment of Mounted Rifles, struck tents and took up their line of march for the iron tier. The troops are in most excellent health have been very well drilled, and are burning with desire to meet the impudent cohorts of republi- cansm. Should any thing transpire worthy of communication you shall have it at once for the benefit of your readers.
 The volunteers are very much pleased at the idea of crops of cotton being subscribed to the Confectionery. It will be powerful stimulus to our friend, John Bull, to bid us God speed in the career of nations; and will at the same time, place means at the disposal of our government to carry on the war with vigor. In behalf of tie noble volunteers who, self-exiled from their homes, are marching to meet our common enemy, we say sub scribe not grudgingly-stint not your country, and thereby the volunteer, who has already suffered many inconvenency. You get value received in confederate bonds which must rise or fall with our country.
 Allow me to suggest Col c. W. LemOyne as an appropriate gentleman to act as agent in this mat ter in his section. Col. Lcmoynes whole heart and soul are in the cause, and his large acquaint- ance and great popularity would render his services invaluable. We want some men of enlarged pa trotism and liberal views to discuss this matter before the people, as they are not advised of the advantages that will accrue to them and their coun- try by the move.
 Those who arc behind can do as much as those who are away, and such men enlisted in are sure guarantee ef it's success.
 We would be proud to see that Arkansas does not lag behind her sisters in this great work.

FAYETTEVILLE, July ,.
 Reliable information from Missouri, says that there was an engagement between the northerners and Gov. Jackson on Saturday last at Carthage-thirty miles north of Neosho, in which the northerners were de- feated--loss about 60 men. Jackson lost s and had 30 wounded.
 Troops that left Camp Walker for Mis- souri will be back to-day.
 Churchill's command took one hundred and fifty Dutch at Neosho. The prisoners will be brought to Camp Walker.
 Jackson was in the hottest part of the fight all the while. He had one horse shot from under him, and another crippled The enemy sunk some of their dead in stream near by to keep Jackson from know ing how many were killed.
 Gems. - and Lyon are at the head of northerners; they have thirteen pieces of cannon; one piece was captured by Jack son. The northerners retreated back to Springfield Fun Buren Press.

Hy GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.-The N Y. Day Book is jubilant over the defeat oi the notorious Henry Winter Davis. It says: ,., tense doughface, Henry Winter Davis. cold-intensely cold. Even the federal bayonets in Maryland could not save him, nor the presence of his old friend "Union Slide" Banks. Davis is brilliant exam ple of a first class toady to abolition fanati- cism, and his fate is brilliant warning for those who, on the soil of Maryland, may be disposed to initiate his career"
 It is said that Lincoln has provided for his badly slaughtered friend. He is to go to Austria Francis Joseph kicked Burlin- game out, and we hope he will extend the same hospitality to Davis, who is not a whit better.

 How THE SOUTHERN CLIMATE AFFECTS TIE YANKEE TRooPs.-A letter from a member of the Rhode Island regiment dated in camp, at Williamsport, Maryland, Sunday, June 16-gives the following de- scription of a recent march of the regi- ment
 Yesterday morning at seven o'clock, we left our camp near Greencaste, and marching fifteen miles, arrived here at one o'clock. It was an awful march, as you may judge from the fact that out of ,350 men, only six hundred marched in with the column--many of these six hundred were so sick that they had to be carried in the wagons, and the rest of them had to stop along the road mile or two back, and they came along, one or two at a time, during the course of the afternoon. Ono of the wagon drivers told me that he had more than seventy-fve in the wagons at once I stood it as we'll as anybody. | have had no headache. although many did. I kept wet pocket handkerchief in my cap all the time.

 At immense sacrifice, a company of ainty es young men were raised in this part of ,he F. to defend our common rights whereyes .ls;y be needed. They offered their service to ] Governor of the State, who declined rcce in them. The next opportunity they hld, sas .o joia Col. Rust's regiment, which they Gid, and siarte for Gaines Landin. as abov ve mentioned en route for Virginia. The terry1nan at Moro, on the Qua ehita river instead of receiving them joyfully and helping them on their way charged them at their usual rates for their wagons and five cents per head for the men. The terryaan at Longyiew, on the Saline river, treated them in the same way We certainly ought to have expected better things at the hands of southern men.

He was in town on Wednesday to procure materials, and will soon be in fuli operation. There is a scarcity of pe- tre, and as this can be had in Russell, Scott, Lee and Wise counties, we would suggest to persons that own or have access to petre mines to go to work at once, and produce as much of the article as possible, as it will sell readily at paying price.--AJingdon Tirginian.

Miss Cloe Beall was next introduced as the rep. resentative of the State of Arkansas who in an ap- proprate manner, and in the name of Gray town ship, presented to the Guards of said township, A beautiful flag, Miss Beall said
 "We give this to you, untouched but by the delicate fingers of your mothers, your wives, and your sisters-unfurled but by the gentle zephyrs of your own sunny cline. We give it to you with confidence, for we know, that it's ample folds will ever shadow as true hearts as ever throbbcd in the breast of mortals,' etc. etc.
 It was q well timed and appropriate address for the occasion. At the close of the address she pre- sented the flag to Mir. James M. Stovall, who re- ceived it in behalf of the Gray Township Guards. Mir. Stovall delivered quite an interesting address After returning his thanks to the fair daughters of Gray township for their patriotism, he spoke fluent ly and eloquenty the present crisis of our coun- try briefly stating the causes and reasons, ,jusfyng the southern States in withdrawing themselves from compact wholly disregarded, wherein cor rupton and fraud reisned triumphant over reason, truth and justice" He closed with an appeal to the young men, which was beautiful and eloquent; giving undoubted testimony that true patriotic blood flowed in his own veins.
 Col. T. F. Murf being called on, addressed the audience in a few brief remarks.
 Dinner was then announced as being ready; the ladies were first marched to the table, followed by the gentlemen, where was found neat barba- eued dinner, together with various kinds of yege- tables, etc.
 I say in honor to old Gray, that this affair vas one hardly to be surpassed.
 l had forgotten to gay that Capt. Geahssom- pany of cavalry were present. The exercises closed in peace and quetude. >
