TuE STATE Of THINGS IN ARKANsAs.-
From native Of Arkansas, who few days
since, arrived in Wheeling, Va, from that
State, the Intelligencer learns that there
are hundreds of Union men-good, uncon-
ditional Union men in Arkansas, who arc
afraid to speak what they think. Every
body is in arms; for the man who refuses
to join company is regarded with sus-
pcon, and is not safe. In this state of
things they have more men than they have
weapons TO arm them with. The people
have no fear Of slave instructions, for tho
reason that all being armed, an insurrection
could DO more effectually crushed out now,
than at any other time. The negroes
know this. They are also familiar with what
is going on in the country; and in somo
neighborhoods are surly, watchful, and evil
IDENTIFY disposed to rebel if they dared.

Danger Mt Cincinnati.


There were rumors in the city yesterday
of anticipated danger at Newport and Gin
cinuati. Tho Commercial Of yesterday
morning says:
There has been slight feeling Of alarm
in the sensitive circles of the city, for few
days regarding the noticeable stir Of the
conspirators in Kentucky. There is no
doubt but the secessionists over tho river
arc proposing mischief, but VIC think they
will find enough to do at home. Ofcourse,
they would be happy TO riot in Cincinnati
for short time, but VIC regard the city as
safe against any open demonstration as
Quebec. There arc five hundred regulars
at Newport, and tbreo thousand armed men
here, with half dozongood regiments Of
Ohio and Indiana troops within half days
ride. A force Of ten thousand men could
be mustered hero within twenty -four hours.
1t may be well, however, TO improve tho
occasion to suggest the propriety of the inn
mediate rcgimental organization of our
homo guards, and Of the preparation Of a
largo supply of ammunition. While avoid
ing pusillanimous alarms, be prepared for
all possible emergencies. Cincinnati will
not bear the firing of hostile gun in this
war. But VIC may be called upon to aid
the gallent Union men of Kentucky.

The editor Of the Shelby News says that
he has "learned within tho last few days
from two different sources, one a citizen of
Shelby county, the other of Missouri, that
within twenty days Kentucky will be involv-
ed in the fratricidal strife" He adds, that
"the information in both cases came through
members of that reasonable order, the
Knights Of the Golden Circle"
There is not the slightest room for doubt
that the disunionists are resolved to involve
the citizens of Kentucky, if possible, in NOR
tai strife before the August election. They
see that there is no chance for them while
the present condition of peace remains, and
they have desperate hope that civil war
may throw up something for their benefit.

EXECUTIVE MANSION.
juno 20, 1861.
Col. JOHN Fry:

COL. JOHN FRY:
My Dear Sir: 1t gives me very great
pleasure to be the medium of transmission
of these weapons, to be used in the defense
of national sovereignty upon the soil Of
Kentucky.
Though some years have passed since l
left my native State, l have never ceased
to contemplate her progress in happiness
and prosperity with sentiments of fond and
flial pride. In every effort of industrial
energy, in every enterprise of honor and
valor, my heart has been with her. And l
rejoice in the consciousness that, at this time,
when the institutions to whose fostering
care we owe all that VIC have of happiness
and glory arc rudely assailcd by ungrateful
and parieidal hands, the State Of Kentucky,
ever true and loyal, furnishes to the insult
ed flag of the Union guard other best and
bravest sons. On every field the power Of
Kentuckians has been manifested. In the
holy cause Of National defense they must
be inyincible.
Please accept, Sir, these weapons as a
token of the love l shall never cease to cher
ish for my mother State, of the pride with
which l have always regarded the exploits
of her sons, and of the confidence which !
feel in the ultimate loyalty of her people,
who, while never forgetting the homage
which their beloved State may justly claim
still remember the higher and grander ale
glance duo TO our common country.
Yours, very sincerely,
MARY LINCOLN.

BAD ior dc Experlment.

The Norwalk Experiment gives as a reason
why it is opposed to uniting with the Republi-
cans on a Union ticket, that the Republicans
during the last campaign called its party slave
ocrats," "dough-faces," anigger-drivers" DC,
which only shows that its editor is more intent
in having political revenge, than he is Jealous
in putting down rebellion and saving the coun-
try. It's to be much regretted that a certain
class Of Democratic editors have not got soul
enough to rise above the dirty pool Of politics
when the very existence Of our country is
threatened by most stupendous and dam
ming conspiracy, at the head Of which there is
hardly man but who has heretofore been a
conspicuous and honored memberof their party.

The battle Of Carthage.

The particulars and full confirmation Of the
battle at Carthage, Mo-, between the Govern
ment forces under Col. Sigel, and the rebels un-
der jackson and Price show that on the part Of
the Government forces it was a brilliant action.
In the face of a greatly superior force, which
also had the advantage of cavalry, Col. Sigel
attacked the enemy, and inflicted severe loss
upon them. He mancuvred his men with skill,
so as to prevent the enemy from outlanking
him with their cavalry, and then by a skil(ul
movement routed their cavalry; and in spite OF
the resistance of four or five times his numbers,
took up his own position. The meu must have
obeyed orders under FIRE like veterans. The
brilliant victory shows what discipline, when
united with courage, will do against the South
crn rebels The officers engaged in this affair
seem to he all Germans, and we suppose the
troops are some Of the Germans from st. Louis
who have been SO abused by Secessionists for
their loyalty to the Union.
