+TELEGRAPHIC TO FoRr SMiTH-Mr. MONTGOMERY of the Little Rock and Mem phs Telegraph line, on account of himself and associates, is desirous of building d Telegraph line from Little Rock to Port Smith. As local work the line will be important, connecting, as 1t will the coun- try and towns along the line, with the the world In military point of view, III the present troublous times, its value to the country will be incalcuablc amt its necessity of the last importance, as dis patches from Little Rock to Fort Smith, as now sent, must travel by very circuit ous route and go through the enemys country. In pecnniary point of view this line must; pay for, besides Its local business, which will be important, all dis | patches between New Orleans and St. Louis, including of course the country between the two points, must be sent by the Little Rock and Fort Smith line so soon as 1t IS completed. This will make it one of the best paying lines in the country.
 Mir. WILLIAM $. DAVIS, of this place, has gone to Fort Smith and Van Buren for the purpose of obtaining subscriptions for this line, and on his return will call on the people between here and Fort Smith, for the purpose of taking such subscriptions as they desire to make to the work.

 ESTHUsIAsTIC MEETING.-On Saturday last, pursuant to previous notice, a meet ing was held in the courthouse for the purpose of more fully organizing our volunteer militia. Capt. B. F. Sweeney was called to the chair, and business i'm medately opened by volunteers enrolling their names to the number of thirty-six or forty The election of officers was then held, B. F. Sweeney Captain, C. M. Green 1st. Lieut., Jo. J Dunlop 2nd, Lieut. E. B. Dempsey 3rd, Lieut.. The officers as soon as their election was proclaimed, were called respective to the stand amid shouts of applause, and responded in short but appropriate addresses. After the company was fully organized and all business there to transacted, many gentlemen were invited to address them. The speeches made on the occasion were repete with patriotism and devotion to "the republic of Jeff Davis," and created the most intense en- thusiasm.
 The volunteers have all enlisted with the expectation of doing service in short time, and are ready to respond to the call from headquarters, no matter how soon 1t may be. Their regular drill meetings will be held every evening at four o'clock, on the parade ground, and 1t being essential, we trust that the whole company will, if possible, be in attendance every meeting. We regret that want of space prevents our further notice of this meeting, for it was our desire to give the full particulars Uorren Journol.

ADVICE TO VoLUNTEERs-How TO PRE- PARE FOR THE CAMpMGS.-A writer, who signs himself" An Old Soldier" gives the following advice to young soldiers:
 1, Remember, that in campaign more men die from sickness than by the bullet
 2. Line your blanket with one thickness of brown drilling. This adds but four ounces in weight, and doubles the warmth.
 8. Buy small india-rubber blanket-@ only s1 50--to lay on the ground or to throw over your shoulders when on guard duty during rain storm.
 4. The best military hat in use Is the light colorcd soft felt, the crown deing suf- ficiently high to allow space for air over the brain. You can faster it up as continen tai in fair weather, or turn it down when 1t is wet or very sunny.
 5. Let your beard grow, so as to protect the throat and lungs.
 6. Keep your entire person clean. 1hls prevents fever and bowel complaints in warm climates. Wash your body each day, if possible. Avoid strong coffee and oily meat. Gen. Scott said that the too free use of these, together with neglect in keep, inr the skin clean, cost many soldier hi: life in Mexico.
 '. A sudden check of precipitation by chilly or night air often causes fever and death. When thus exposed do not torge your blanket.
