 G Your paper is in great request wherever I have been. The prevailing opinion here is that Ouachita county will go for seces- sion by an overwhelming majority Throughout this portion of the State wherever l have been, l have found the people almost a unit for immediate seces- sion."
 COLUMBIA COUNTY.

 C .Nessrs. Editors True Democrat-Feel ing great interest in the success of your pa per from the fact that it advocates with marked ability the cause of secession, l have made you up club of subscribers. including myself, and herew ith enclose the cash Please acknowledge receipt of the same.
 eff I am not mistaken in the signs of the times, it will not be long before 1 will send you another list of subscribers. We are all secessionss here now.

 CONWAY COUNTY. Extract of a letter from Conway county:
 "Bob Harper and Dr. Menefee intend to canvass the county this summer, so learn. The secession cause is gaining friends every day.

 WHITE COUNTY.
 "I heard Col. Johnson speakyesterday His speech was a success. The only regret 1 had was that every body in the county was not present. It was the best speech l ever heard in this State. It's stirring elo- quence was attested by many watery eye, while the Colonel was recounting the wrongs of the South. Our cause here is growing brighter every day.

 BENTON COUNTY.
 "Send me the True Democrat for year and will remit you the money. It seems to be the wish of great many in this sec ton of the State, that you issue acampaign paper at reduced rates, so as to place 1t within the reach of all. Secession is gain ing ground in Benton."
 VAN BUREN COUNTY.
 "I am glad to see you are exposing the intentions and deceit of the celebrated forty who controlled the convention, and dis graced the State by keeping her under the rule of Abe Lincoln and his free negro lieutenant, Hannibal Hamblin. The people here are fast changing from co-operaton,' as the Union shriekers have christianed their humbug, to Union with the people of the South." INDEPENDENCE COUNTY.
 Yesterday was glorious day for the South. Hon. R. w. Johnson was at Batesville to fill his appointment. The citizens of Batesville had fine barbecue, and there was a fine turnout. Great good was done. heard many say that they had never looked at secession in the same light before. It was said Capt. F. w. Desha was going to answer Col. ohnson, but af- ter hearing his arguments he coved Mr. Newton also made fine speech, and from what I have heard and seen both of their speeches will have telling effect"
 Another letter from Independence says:
 Enclosed 1 send you six new subscri- bers. There is great changes going on in this county. The delegates outraged us all by not submitting an ordinance of seces- sion to be voted on at once. We did ex- pect better things of Kennard, who was not submissionist till he got to Little Rock"
