 ResoIped, That such acts of liberality and such ready care of the soldiers of the Confederate States by her citizens, nerve the arms of the young re. public, and in this her first necessity freely supply the place of treasury at home and credit abroad.
 RcsolUed, That the numerous former acts of kindness from the citizens of Little Rock towards the Capital Guards have been of so muni6cient a nature that they cannot receive this too liberal aid as mere gratuity, but while they thank them for favor so timely conceived and freely given, they will hold 1t privilege and claim it A right to re- imburse them for the outlay for this uniform at their earliest opportunity.
 Resoiued, That we are profoundly grateful to the ladies of Little Rock for making the uniforms and the many other useful and tasty garments which the hand of affection or friendship have provided untiIaIl have been supplied.

The situation of the country Is such at the present, as to prevent mo from suggesting such measures as in my judgment might tend most greatly to your interests; but being fully identified in every respect with your interests, pledge myself to give no aid to any policy that in my judgment may detract from your interest and honor.

have this day received reliable information that one N B. Pearce, late Brigadier General of Arkansas, at Norrisown, made myself and others the subject of scurrilous remarks in reference to the late battle near Springfield
 am not aware of any for the creatures malice which he has constantly exhibited towards me for the last four or six months, except that l canvassed north west Arkansas last spring in be- half of southern rights, while he equally ac- tive in denouncing the southern movement and it's leaders as traitors, and doubt not would do so again but for cowardice or commission.
 l therefore feel it due to myself to pronounce the said Pearce brainiess e9osf, infamous liar, co,card and scoundfel. 1 would rot notice him in this manner, but for the fact that our State convention Ut an unguarded moment appointed the creature to the rank of Ge- neral CID and thereby attached more importance to him than the God of nature ever intended.

Fellow-Citizens of Saline, Hot Spring and

After numerous solicitations of my friends, have consented to become candidate to fill the vacancy in our State Senate, accustomed by the resignation of the Hon. Jas. F. Pagan, election to to be held on the 9th November, 1861.
 In appearing before you, am relieved from the necessity of discussing the issues which have hith- erto divided and agitated our citizens, since party spirit has long since been hushed, and we now all stand upon one broad platform of equal rights and liberties. We have been driven to the necessi- ty of dissovng our political and social connection with the Northern States, by their increased viola tons of that once sacred instrument, the Consttu- lion, framed by our fathers for our protectionbut now attempted to be used for our subjugation. In becoming candidate, have TO political ap- olagies to make, no political sins to answer for a South Carolinian by birth, citizen of Sa line county, reared in the South early advoc lte of the policy of total separation from the North ern States. If elected to that honorable position, my whole mind and strength will be brought to bear for the interest and perpetuty of the nstitu tions of our beloved South.

 All tho news we get here is from the Democrat. We Texans think very hard of old Abe for not sending some of his troops to Texas that we might get some of the spells to present to the Southern Confederacy, and especially we want some of hs Dutch, for we are of opinion that persons who tamely submit to old Ahe's usurpations would make good substitute for negroes in cotton and wheat fields. Our wheat houses are full to overfowing, and our praires are dotted with fat beeves muttons and horses, and confederate state paper can buy any thing that is for sale in this country, indeed, every person wants stock in ow government.

EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAr-Is it not strange the surgeons in our army permit so many valuable lives lost from the effects of measels when little whisky toddy would lessen the mortality at least one half or three fourths. All that is required is to keep the patients blood warm with the toddy throughout the disease.
 As Lincoln has proclaimed medicines contraband of war, permit to say to those whom it may con- cern, that vervinex is very good substitute for ouinine. which may be found at the road sides in the unplowed fed and in open waste lands. A strong decocton should be used-it is very bitter.
