Exiles.
Cor. R. H. JOHNSON


 Sir: There is quite large number of persons who have come, andare coming, to this State from Virginia. Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, who claim to be exiles and driven from their homes. In some cases, a poor man with a large family, is seen seeking new home. His family must be supported and it may be necessary for him to stay and procure them the means of support. But there are others men without families, or those having relatives in the State with whom their families reside who come here and sit down in inglOriOus ease while their State is oyerrun by the hirelngs of Lincoln. They call themselves exes, but of all white liyerec towards, they bear the palm. These fellows turn their backs upon their own State eay- ing the brave men and patriotic women to defend it--they skulk from danger and like cravens as they arc attempt to magnify the dangers from which they ran. They sit here and see Arkansas going to Virginia, Kentucky or Missouri, to drive the invaders back, and yet, profess to be intensely patriotic. Shame upon such libeIs upon humanity. If they have not the spunk to fight, let them go back aud act as cooks, teamsters or ill situa- ton where there is but little danger. If there is despisabe object it the coward who has de erted his country in the hour of her peril and greatest need. What is worse about these fellows, IS the fact, that they put on immense airs, and some of them are hardly upon soil before they are seeking offices. The Executive who appoints such a man to oificc or the elector who votes for one, deserves to be executed. It requires very little to make us believe that such paltroons would seek safety in Lincoln's camp, if Arkansas or Texas had not been open to them. Let us mark these fellows, and if they will not go and fight for their homes and native land. let us show our apprecia ton of their conduct by holding them in deserved scorn and detestation.
 Yours truly. P R.

DAILY MAIL FROM LITTLE RoCK.-Our at- teut.ou has been called to the importance of establishing daily mail from Little Rock, Ark, to Austin, and for this purpose it becomes necessary that the people along the route should take immediate action, and petition the depart ment 10 procure the benefits resulting from such a service at a day as carly as practicable Our coast s now blockadcd, which seriously in- terrupts the transmission of news by that route, and in a measure cuts us off from the telegraph lines centering at New Orleans. On the other hand, the route from Little Rock the terminus of the nearest telegraphic line, is now open and likely t. remain so, and the trip is made SIX days. For several months past, we have obtained our latest news over this line, and 1t has become almost a necessity with the people of this part If the State, to have daily line established. In these stirring times, the public demand for information upon the events of the day becomes imperative, and the necessity, one for the public good.
 We call upon the people from Carksville to Austin, to unite and send up their petitions to the post office department, praying for the es- tablshment of daily line from Little Rock to some point in Middle Texas,-sa Austin. We shall endeavor to get up petition at this place immediately, and We now request every one to come forward and signit.- DaNas, Teras HeraM

A HAPPY REPLY-An incident is related as having occurred between the officials engaged in the exchange of prisoners at Columbus, the other day. After the preminaries were ar ranged a repast was partaken of during which ore of the federal officers, rising proposed ''the memory of George Washington The com pany instantly rose, when Gen. Polk responded: :The memory of George Washington, he .tirst rebet::' The toast, our informant says, was drank in ominous silence by the federal officers who were present. The story IS too good not to be true, or to be ost.-Apped.
