Previous to which the same three minis ters attended a cabinet council at Lord Palmer ston's residence. The London Times has no hope that the federal government will comply with the demands of England. The English journals are very bitter and hostile, considering the Trent affair an intolerable insult. Lord Lyons instructions, in which the cabinet IS said to be unanimous, are explicit and determined.
 The London Post says, the acknowledgment of the error and the surrender of the prisoners would be received with great joy, but if the fed erals fail to do 50, no man Ill England will blind his eyes to the alternative that England must do her duty.

A SINGULAR INCIDENr.-The Lvnchburg Republican publishes the following incl dent, remarkable alike for it's singularity as well as for its melancholy fulfllment to the brother of one of the parties concerned:
 Just before the war broke out and be- fore Lincoln's proclamation was issued, a young Virginan, named Summerfeld, was visiting in the city of New York, where he made the acquaintance of two Misses Holmes, from Waterbury, Vermont. He became somewhat intimate with the young ladies, and the intercourse seemed to be mutually agreeable. The proclamation was issued, and the whole North thrown into blaze of excitement. Upon visiting the ladies one evening, and at the hour of parting, they remarked to Summerfield that their present meeting would probably be the last; they must hurry home to aid in making up the oyercoats and clothing for the volunteers from their town. Sum merfed expressed his regret that they must leave, but at the same time especially requested thom to see that the overcOats were well made, as it was his intention, if he ever met the Vermont regiment in bat tie, to kill one of them and take his coat. Now for the sequel. Virginia seceded,- The 2d Vermont regiment, a portion of which was from the town of Waterbury, was sent to Virginia. The battle of Ma nassas was fought, in which they were en- gagged, and so was Summerfeld. During the battle S. marked his man, not knowing to what State he belonged; the fatal ball was sped on its errand of death; the vic tim fell at the flash of the gun, and upon rushing up to secure the dead mans arms Symmetrical observed that he had a fine overcoat strapped to his back, which he determined to appropriate to his own use. The fight was over, and Summerlield had time to examine his prize, when, remark able as 1t may appear, the coat was mark ed in the lining with the name of Thomas Holmes, and in the pockets were found letters signed with the name of the sister, whom Summerfeld had known in New York, and to whom he had made the re- mark we have quoted, in which the. dead man was addressed as brother. The evi- dence was conclusive, he had killed the brother of his friend, and the remark which he had made in jest had melancholy full fillment We are assured this narrative is literally true, Summerfeld now wears the coat, and our informant states is not little impressed with the singularity of the coin- cidence.

For the Arkansas Truo Democrat, THE BATTLE AT OAK HILLS. BY DR. V. J. L,


 In Oak Hills camp our soldiers lay, In gGardless sleep at break of day, Dreaming of loved ones far away,
 Beneath 8 southern sky. They little thought the coming light Would plunge them in bloody fight Against the Northern LyoR's might,
 And all his boasted energy. But from their slumbers they awoko Beneath a cloud of fire and smoke, While far and wide the echoes broke,
 From dreadful peslS of cannonry. Then brave McCulloch took his stand; Faw words he said to his small band Remember, men, your native land,
 And charge upon yon battery" Their spirits by these words were warm'd, And soon their battle line was formed, And onward, where the II sssians swarm'd. They moved along unfalteringly. This was q test of chivalry, To storm a we'll placed battery, Protected veil by infantry,
 And do it all unwaveringly. Bnt on they prass'd midst fire and deata, And halting not to take a breath, McCuloch joined them only with
 A little band of cavalry. They met the foemen hand to hand; The scene was bloody then and grand, With infantry on every hand,
 Around the train'd artillery, Amidst the dreadful cannons sound. Amidst the dying all around Upon the bloody battle ground,
 And scenes ike domon's revelry. Against overwhelming odds they fought, And brave men fell as brave.nen ought Determined still, they stopped for noaahs. Till they could hold that battery. But still the Northerns kept the fold, And loudly yet their muskets pealed, Until our broken columns wheelel
 Retreating from the enemy. They rallied and they fought again Tine field was covered OCT with slain Retreating, rallying again
 They fought for death or liberty. Then burst a sound of wild applause, {" The foe retreats. God save our cause, God save our government and laws,
 And give our soldiers victory" Their lyon fell to fight no more; And now the battles din is OCT, They see the invaders standard lower
 And Yankees running rapidly. cKHoEN, ARK, Dec. 14th, 4S61.

TIE DEFHNsEs OF NEW ORLEANs.-The N. o. Delta says that the Notifications on the interior line ofdefonses of that city have been examined recently by party compo- sod of the Governor, Gen. Lowell, Col. J. R. Davis, aid of the President, and other gentlemen and that their survey and inspec- ton were highly satisfactory and gratifying. The Delta awards the chief credit of the planning and supervising the defensos to Major General Lowell and Major Smith, It says:
 The General, fully approving all Major Smith plans, set to work immediately y on his arrival to strengthen, extend and com plete all the various defenses, until now he has exterior and interior lines of fortifca- ton, which render this city stronger than Sebastapol when beseiged by the British and French. The only concern and appre- hension which an inspection of these lines gives us, is that the enemy may not afford us an opportunity of testing and illustrat- ing their strength. Other cities and towns may rear all dSSduII, DUG ANeN O1IGdHS OuIg fears she may not be attacked, We are not permitted to describe these various de- lenses, but we can say that they are such as would satisfy and assure the most fasti- lous and apprehensive of military engin- eers and martinets, and ought to render the sIumocrs of our capitalists sound and dream less Much of the honor and credit of the construction of these extensive works are due to our patriotic Governor, who assum ed, in behalf of the State, the payment of the expense, and by the aid Of our patri- otic fellow-citizen, J. D. Denegre, of the Citizens, Bank, had no difficulty in raising the requisite funds for that purpose.
 With our forts commanding every ap- proach 10 the city, and-should the enemy succeed in passing them-with an interior line of earth works, we can present to the enemy, whenever and in what force soever he may present himself, wall of frc-of bristling bayoncts and frowning cannon which will laugh to scorn the efforts of the largest land and naval force he can send against our city.
