Es' The Alexandria Gazette ipstly re- marks that no free people who know theil rights and are determined to maintain them who act on the defensive and seek nothing but the maintenance of their own inde, pendence; who say "let us alone and we will not quarrel with you," cam be coereed, conquered or subdued. They may at first have hard knocks, and meet with reverses. No man has a right to suppose that the fortunes of war will always be favorable But in the end they will be successful. The civilized world will be on their side in sen timent.

Jeff. Davis Calls for Volunteers

James E. Johnson, as Colonel, Robert c. Newton, as Lieut.. Colonel, and John w. Lewis, as Major have been authorized by the confederate government to raise a regiment of infantry in this State .for Me ,car We hope this regiment will be i'm mediately filled up. Other States are send. ing their soldiers by the scores for an un- limited period, and surely Arkansians are no less patriotic and no less earnest and devoted than they. We desire to send to the mad enthusiast, whose blind folly has plunged the American people into disas- trous civil war, the assurance that as long as he continues to send his minions for the invasion of our sacred soil, there will be at least one regiment of Arkansaw's hardy soIs to meet and "welcome Mem wika Wood1 hands 10 hospitaJle gro0es."
 Each soldier is entitled, at the end of Mree gears, if he applies for it, to an ho- norable discharge, and thus while those who fnG it necessary, can return home, still the army is not disorganized We have a streng foe to conquer, and disciplined troops arc as necessary as powder and ball, and they cannot be had if at the end of twelve months half the army withdraw and their places are filled with raw recruits. The confederate government has, therefore, shown its wisdom in deciding to accept no moIe troops, except for the whole war, and the people every where are exhibiting their loyalty and devotion by letting this deci- sion work no decrease in the number of en- listments-an Arkansians will surely not be second to their southern brethren in this respect.
 Col. Johnson's regiment is fast filling up, as we understand, and application should be made forthwith. The government has pledged itself to arm it if reported in two or three weeks.
 We understand that Co.'s. Hindman and Can't are also raising regiments for the confederate service. We earnestly hope that they will succeed, and that too, speedily.
 For heavens sake let us give Jeff. Davis all the troops he calls for, and give them promptly.

 The people of the Confederate States Tn repelling an unprovoked, inhuman, tend- ish invasion, are, at the same time, fighting the battle of humanity and justice, and constitutional liberty. Well may they es- teem it proud distinction from an over ruling providence; and go into the perllous conflict courageously. hopefully, and with a holy joy!
 The day, the hour for deeds of valor and self-sacrifice is come! The lightning flashes of the daily telegram reveal beneath the sulphurous cloud of war, the indignant sons of old Virginia, supported by thelr brethren of the other Confederate States, rushing to the forefront of the battle Soon and signally will they avenge the pollution of her sacred sei Every insult ing Ellsworth shall meet an avenginS Jackson. He shall never cross the thres- hold of the cherished home of Washing ton!

Ex5- It is proposed to organize regl- ment of Mounted Rhemen in the South west part of the State. Ten companies. Each company to have 64 to 90 men; l captain, first lieutenant, second lieu tenant, l third lieutenant. Arms to be shot guns or rifles and sabers.
 Each company should have shot guns exclusively or rifles exclusively. It is supposed that in case company should be armed with part shot-guns and part rifles, they can be so changed as to arm the companies with the one or the other. So that a company need not wat because it has not got enough shot guns or rifles for the whole company. Double barrellel shot-guns are prefer red.
 Correspondence to be conducted with II. Flanagin at Philadelphia, and he will com muncate all important points to the com panies.
 It is not desired to interfere with any body in this matter, but merely to organise and arm regiment for active service. Your obedient servants.
