EXCITEMENT. IN ARKASsAs,-Tbere seems
to be some truth in the rumor that Gen.
Jim Lane is marching upon Pocahontas,
Ark, if We are to believe even one-haIf the
statements in the Memphis papers. Sorne
accounts say his men have been seen in the
vicinity of Pocahontas, and his camp, con-
tanning eight thousand men, is eight miles
from the town, on Black river. a party of
them attempted to take possession of the
steamer Admiral, but were not successful,
While the citizens of Jacksonport were go
ing to Pocahontas to aid in its defense, ff-
teen of the prisoners in Jail escaped, and
Immediately turned their attention to pois-
oning all the wells around the country
Last Monday night, after a portion of the
volunteers returned, an aged man named
Carlisle and his son, the leaders in the
poisoning business, were captured and hung.
The remainder threatened to burn the town
down, but the return of the citizens from
Pocahontas prevented it.

la The late Colonel Ellsworth, on re-
ceiving orders from headquarters, on the
movement on Alexandria (Which cost him
his life), addressed his regiment as fol-
lows:
Boys, no doubt you felt surprised on hear
ing my orders to be in readiness at a mo-
ments notice, but will explain all, as far
as l am allowed. Yesterday forenoon, |
understood that a movement was to be
made on Alexandria OF course l was on
tae qlti vi0e went to see General Mans
field the Commander at Washington, and
told him that | would consider it as per-
sonal affront, if be would not allow US to
have the right of the line, which is our due
as the first volunteer regiment sworn in
for the war. All that l can tell you is to
prepare yourselves for a nice little sail, and
at the end of it a skirmish. Go to your
tents, lie down and take your rest till 2
o'clock, when the boat will arrive and we
go forward TO victory or death. When we
reach the place Of destination, act as men !;
do nothing to shame the regiment, show the
enemy that you are men as well as soldiers,
and that you will treat them with kindness
until they force you to use violence. I want
you to kill them with kindness. Go to your
tents and do as l tell ; on.

A DISTINCTION WITH DIFFERENCE
The fact that the village known to the
world as Culpepper Court House, Virginia.
is called " Fairfax" upon the postofice
bC )ks, bothers the writers for the Northern
press immensely, as within seventeen miles
of Washington there is the village of Fair
fax Court House. the county seat of Fairfax
county. The former is sixty-eight miles
from Washington, and up to the occupation
of Alexandria and Arlington Nights by
United States troops, was the site of camp
of about four thousand disunion troops,
ard the headquarters of Gen. Cooke. We
apprehend that the movement caused the
prompt transfer of most of those troops to
Harpers Ferry end Manassas Junction. At
the latter point there were, undoubtedly,
come four if not some FIVE thousand troops,
before it was thus strengthened. We ap-
prehend further, that portion of the forces
copyrighted at Lynchburg, Staunton, Char
lottesville and Gordonsviile, recently, have
been advanced nearer 10 Manassas Junction
which is thirty four miles from Culpepper
Court House and twenty-seven miles from
Alexandria, Washington Star.

HOY THE VIRGINIA REBEL COMPANIES

the 28thFays:
Yesterday Justice Dom being at the
couu-y jail, where eight prisoners taken in
this city and in Fairfax county, Va, are
confined, addressed himself to q youth of
about eighteen years, soldier, and asked
him # he realized the nature of his posi-
ton. He replied: Yes, suppose l shall
be shot or hung as traitor; but | am not
one" He then went on to show how he
came to be in the party. At the time OF
the John Brown raid he, with other young
men, Joined a co 1pany 10 serve for three
years, in Fai fax county, During the con-
test of secession, the company was called
together, and the oath of allegiance to the
Southern Confederacy was put TO them, and
the corps unanimously refused to take it ;
nevertheless, they were ordered into the
Southern army. His father is dead, and a
few days ago getting word that his mother
was diving, he obtained leave of absence to
90 and see her. When about eight miles
on the road be was taken by Col. Corcor-

grateful to Col. Corcoran and his men, and
also to the United States Dragons, TO
their constant attention to his wants ani
their tender treatment of him.

THE TENNESSEE SoLDIERs.-We saw a
gentleman of intelligence and veracity last
evening who Is perfectly familiar with the
state of affairs in and about Nashville and
at Camp Truesdale and Cheatham He in
formed US that at Camp Truesdale, near
Richland, two miles from the Kentucky
line, there are about 3 500 soldiers, and the
same number at Camp Cheatham, near
Springfield. Of this number about one
third are armed, and badly that, and all
of them very poorly fed. The troops are
also afflicted with the measles, no less than
four hundred beng on the sick list from
that cause. He assures US that desertions
from both encampments are frequent, and
that there is no enthusiasm existing in the
ranks. A very strong Union sentiment ex-
lists in Nashville, which is suppressed by the
mob spirit of secession. There were no less
than twelve distinct Union meetings held
privately in Nashville on Saturday evening,
which were well attended Lou Jour-

continued whoop. The boys appeared per-
fectly delighted with the idea that they
were going where there was prospect of
participating in a fight, although they were
fully aware that many would, in all proba-
Oility, be killed. Several boys from our

A FATHER AND WHOLE FAMILY ON OPPo-
SITE SIDEs.-ijapt. Adams, of the Sabine,
one of the vessels of the Pensacola feet, has
two sons in the secession ranks under Bragg.
His daughter is a vivandiere in one of the
Louisiana regiments. This young amazon
wrote to her father, requesting him to join
the Confederate forces but if he did not,
she prayed that he would be starved out
The old man recounts the circumstance with
the greatest sang froid, and concludes with
the remark, She is a thoughtless young
thing, and will soon get over it.

VIRGINIANs IN CLovER.-ll lie statement
OF member of the New York list Regi-
u9ept can be trusted, the Government is hold
ing out extraordinary inducements for the
rebels to surrender. The New York soldier
writes to the Herald
The day after the death of Ellsworth, a
number Of secession cavalry were captured
and sent to the Navy Yard. They are
uuartered Il will not say imprisoued) on
board the steamer Powhattan, lying at the
yard dock. On Sunday, myself with nine
teen others, were detailed from our COM
pany to guard these chivalric sons of the
Old Dominion. Now, some may think and
others may say whether they think so or
not. that Uncle Sam will treat his prisoners
.harshly. But let one who ought to know
saw distinctly that the first are very much
mistaken, and the latter must have what is
vulgarIy termed an immense amount of
cheek to make such a preposterous ac-
cusation. They live like lords and as F. F.
VS. only should live have their champagne,
fresh meats and all the delicacies of the sea-
son, while we New York volunteers con-
slider it quite treat to have a change in our
rations from fat bacon to tough contract
beef They have freedom all over the boat,
and comparatively suffer no restraint Whlle
we unfortunate guardsmen are forced to
maintain our position, and are not allowed,
under any circumstances to leave our post.
1t is difficult to say what is the in
tention of our good aatured Old Uncle
regarding these well uniformed and
well behaved cavaliers. Doubtless for
the injuries sustained by them they will
receive ample compensation: will be
sent home to enlist again in the ranks of
our opponents, knowing they can fight until
captured by the federalists, and then be fed
on lamb and green peas.

DEFENSE OF CANADA-The Montreal,

barrels of gunpowder were landed at the
ordnance wharf number of furnaces for
heating SHOT, and furnaces for supplying
