Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-10-31

dence. place of birth or upon the succession to a title or estate. A common instance of the error in names is found in Lafayette The family name was Morier and La Fayette tue title of his marquisate.
 Fremont cut big swell He had body l guards, household regiments and more aids than an Arkansas General or Gov. Rector. Hespent money like a king. The bill of the Adams Express Company against the government, on l account of orders from Fremont, will reach I S30O00O. So of other things. The most costly camp equipage, guns, ammunition, and all the l paraphernalia of war are on a grand scale.- When Price whips him, the spells will be mag niGcent
 We took occasion to say that the value of the property ill Arkansas, which would enEre to the Confederacv under the provisions of the se- ouestration act would reach million of dollars. This was oar estimate of tue value of the req! es- tate. We did not intend to include amounts of debts due from citizens of Arkansas to those of Lncolndom. These and personal property will swell the amount greatly.
 The North Carolinians are having revenge for the capture of Hatteras. The Yankees won an elephant in taking the fort. They dug canal to isolate it from the main land and the tides wash the sand so rapidly that there is 9 reasona ble prospect it will be washed away. It will be nice winter residence as the occupants will have an opportunity to enjoy the cool sea breezes The confederate steamers Curlew and Raleigh captured the federal steamer Fanny, loaded with blankets, great coats, shoes, etc., for the federal
 fleet. The steamer and cargo are valued at $lO0,OOO. They took 45 prisoners with the yes sel. They afterwards went to a point where there was company of federal soldiers and cap tured them. When Rip Van Wrinkle does get fairly awake he makes up for his long nap.
 It is rumored that Billy Mugan and the other officers taken prisoners at Lexington will be sent here for safe keeping.
 Col. Thomas, of Mary land, who captured the St. Nicholas, has been sent to the BastiIe La fayette.
 The Yankees are making a great to do over Prince Sam Salm, of the Prussan army, who has joined them, and is going to play hob with us Some of the southern papers call him Dou- ble-Sam We modestly suggest that the proper place for Sam Salm is Sing Sing.
 The Charleston Courier urges upon the peo- pie of the South that they dispense with the use of all civic prefixes to names or titles after them Hon." and Esqure'' are to be pretermtted The Courier further recommends that all ni tary titles be discontinued unless the person is actually in service. What say you? Rents have fallen in Philadelphia p per cent, and in New York B per cent.
 Fremont writes under date of Oct. 9th, that he will concentrate at Sedal;a 9 ,000 men, 100 guns and in addition 10 this, . large force of cavalry. After he is whipped he will swear he had but 5000.
 The New ork Herald is elated at the idea of 1000 Italians coming to fight for the North They expect a regiment from the Sandwich Is
 lands. Your genuine Yankee fights by proxy. What humliating confession of weakness it IS for the North with its immense population 10 confess they caVnot conquer the South. They are imploring help from Europe and the isles of { the sea. Perhaps the King of Dahomey would send them few regiments, at say S50 head. Among the new manufactures lately estab. lished in the South, we may enumerate the fol- lowing: Paper, letter envelopes, locomotives, railway carriages, percussion caps, rifles, revol- vers, cannon rianoes sewing machines, pre- pared India rubber, sewing thread, glass thresh- ing machines, winnowing machines, reapers, cas- tor oil, gunpowder, and others that we do not now remember.
 We sincerely beg pardon of Tom Marshall, of ; Ky. The Tom Marshall in command of the Illinois regiment is sucker and not a corn cracker Poor Tom is going to the dogs and ; has destroyed his once brilliant mind. He is somewhere in Kentucky.
 The trial of the crew of the confederate priya- teer was to have commenced in New ork Fon Tuesday last.
 Some confusion has already risen from the similarity of names in the two armies. There are two or three General Andersons, two Smiths and in Missouri two General Prices Gen. Thos. L. Price is Fremont's right bower. and commands the federal forces in Fremont $ absence. Major General Sterling Price com s mands the Missouri sons of liberty. To those who wish to keep the run of events in Missouri, it may be well to bear this distinction in mind na~ The'fiver is now too low for navigation, and the<@eather dry and pleasant.
