AT the muster of the Home Guards .

sented them with a beautiful flag of the
Confederate States; through Lieut.. A. j.

requested. by the fair donor OF this flag, to

requests me to say that she wants no cere-
mony over its presentation; and only wish

the same feelings with which she gives. viz
that she is ready and willing to do any
thing and everything in her power for the
defence of our common country"
Upon motion the following resolution
was unanimously adopted, and thee cheers
for Mrs. HANLEY and for the flag given.
Resolped, By the =" Home Guards" that
we are under the deepest obligations t.

WHAT Is 1T TO BE PoLITE.-Politeness is
trait which every one admires aud which
coniers upon its possessor a charm that does
much to pave the way of life with success.
But is very much misunderstood. Polite
ness does not consist in wearing a silk glove
and in gracefully lifting your hat when you
meet an acquaintance. 1t does not consist
in artificial s,nhes and pleasing. fattering
speech, but in sincere and honest desires to
promote the happiness of those around you
IN the readiness to sacrifice your own ease
aud comfort to the enjoyment of Others
The man who lays aside all selfshnass in
regard to the happiness of others, who is
always ready TO confer favors, who speaks
IN the lanyuayp Of kindness and concilia-
tion, and who &tud;es to manifest those lit
tie attentions which crafty the heart, is a
polite man, thddgh he may wear home
spun coat, and make very ungraceful bow
And many fashion able who dresses gem
teelly and enters the most crowded apart
ments with assurance and ease, is q perfect
compound of rudeness and incivility. He
who has heart flowing with kindness and
good will towards his fellow men, and who
Is governed in the exercise of those feelings
by good common sense, is the truly polite
man-and he alone.

Telegraph to Little Rock.

We have from time to time. urged the
necessity of building telegraph line from
this City to the Capitol of the State, and
connecting there with lines to Memphis and
the South. Our citizens now, have an op-
portunity of putting their hands in their
pockets-for We have the pleasure of an
nouncing, that Mr. WM. S. DAVIS, of Lit
tie Rock. Agent for the Memphis and Little
Rock Telegraph Company. is now in Van
Buren,. for the purpose Of inviting subscrip-
tions to the Capital Stock of that Compa
ny, to enable them to extend their line to
Fort Smith.
Mr.. Davis will spend few days here and
at Fort Smith, and will leave early next
week for Ozark, and all towns on the route
OF the proposed line. We weuld suggest
to all the friends of the project. below, to
at once take the matter in hand, that when
the Agent arrives among you. there may be
no delay. Push the work along.
The Gazette. talks on the subject, after
this manner -
TELEGsAPH TO FoRr SxrH.-Mr. Montgomery, of
the Little Rock and Memphis Telegraph line, on
the part Of himself and associates, is desiross of
building telegraph line from Little Rock to Fort
Smith. As a local work the lima viii be important

the line, With the world. In . tnfiit4x p1Ipt of
viess, in the Prseent tspnbak1aa eS(Se to
the country will be inealculale and It's necessity
Of the last Importance, as dispatches from Little
Rock to Fort Smith. as now sent, must travel by
very creuitous route, and go through the enemy s
country. In pecuuiary point of view this line
must pay for, besides its local business, which
will be important. all dispatches between New Or
leans and 81. Louis including. OF course. the coun-
try between the two points, must be sent by the
Little Rock and Fort Smith line so soon as it is
completed This will make>it one of the best pay
ing lines in the country.

DEPARTURE OF THE FIRST REGIMENT OF
ARKANSAS FoLUNrEERs.-On Thursday
last, three companies of this regiment took
their departure for Virginia on the steam
boat Little Rock. One other company was
taken on at Pine Blutf-one com pany wenr
down White river, and will await the COM
mand at Memphis. The steamboat Chester
Ashley will depart to-day with the remain
ing five companies on board.
The detachment which left on Thursday
was commanded by Maj. Thompson. The
one to-day, is under the command of Col.
Pagan, accompanied by Lieut.. Colonel
Munroe.
This regiment is one of the finest bodies
OF men We have ever seen. and we hazard
little when we say that, both in respect to
officers and men, it will be equailed by few
regiments in the service, aud excelIed by
hone. In the hands of such men, the good
name of The State can be safely entrusted !;
and il by the fortunes of war they should
not be victorious. they will keep their hon
or untainished, and submit to misfortune as
becomes soldiers aud brave and true men,

SIR: You have been selected BY his -Excellencv
the Governor, and Command Chief a. the OH
Ger into whose hands the safety and preservation Of
the important post of Fort Smith, is to be iutrust-
ed. and You are now in command thereof. The
duty you are called upon to Perform demands from
You the greatest thought, and should be entered
upon with fixed determination. You are the safe
guard OF the country, and it behooves you to be
unr-msting in your watch fulness. Il IL almost
unnecessary for TO suggest thai all political diff
frences heretofore entertained, should have ns ef-
feet to induce any movements by you. Whatever
may have been the opinions Of some, few weeks
snce 1t is now certain that the people Of Arkansas

uoos towards those over whose safety YOU have
been placed, as guardian and it, unhappily, ii
might become your duty to perform some act as
unpleasant to yourself, towards others but which
IN your opinion, was necessary for the public good
it should be done in the least offensive manner nos
sibe, aud the feelings and preudees of our fellow
citizens ought to receive from US some considers
ton. Your cesseless vigilance must be exercised
for the preservation Of the public property entrust-
ed to your care. You are to use as much economy
In the government OF the post consistent with
propriety. Even handed and prompt justice ex-
tended towards all connected with your lost, or
with whom you may have official business
Permit no corruption or waste and by positive
orders prohibit the appropriation of public property
to private use.
The expense attending the keeping of the post is
considered too great Ii is thought that one Quar-
termaster, wiki the assistance of an intelligent clerk
might very well perform all duties connected with
his in own. aud that of the Commssary department
The number of officers in proportion to the soldiers
