JoHN c. BREcKINRIDGE.- Col Ander. son, better known as Mai Anderson, who surrendered Fort Sumter to the South Car. olinians, stated at Harrisburg that Jobn c. Breckinridge would meet him at Gin cinna,i and take command under him. ' he does, il will be in the defence of Ken lucky against Lincon's mercenaries. We had not supposed that Mai. Anderson would so soon abandon the flag he so des. peralely defended. But so it seems. Ger tain we are that John c. Breckinridge will never turn traitor 10 the South.
 In brief, the whole statement is clearly lie made and despatched for political effect in Tennessee and Kentucky. We warn the public against the lies that will be circulated by the Government at Wash ington, which now has the telegraph wires under their control.-[U Union and Ameri- can. 5as 8Hialas4 aGI

A BEAUTIFUL Row OF WARRIORS !- Henry J. Raymond, of the New York Times, James .Gorden Bennett, of the Herald, William c. Bryant, of the Even. ing Post, Horace Greeley, of the Tribune and Henry Ward Beecher, of the Ply mouth Church, are now par excellence the military lions of the North. It is they who are stirring up the hyperborean heart to deeds of blood. Like the war.horse described in the book of Job, they are 'pawing in the valley"-" swallowing the ground with fierceness and rage" and go- ing through divers other exceedingly alarm. ing performances. Their "necks" are "cothed with thunder" and "the glory of (their ) nostrils is terrible They 'smell the ba.tle," but luckily for them, it is "afar off," They seem to be determined not 10 be mistaken for "grass-hoppers," at all events. t"

 Two prizes have been taken by the pri- vateer steamer 7. H, Toy, at the mouth of the Mississippi. One was the ship .Nar- shall, from Providence, R. l.; name of the other unknown.
 Emerson E,heridge, the traitor, has re- gently been in council with the enemies of the South at Cairo. He was received with "distinquished consideration by the au- thorities at the outlet of Egypt.
 The Alexandrians have taken all the flour in that city and considerable quanti- ties of groceries and removed them up the country for fear of their seizure by the Government.

For the Des Arc Citizen. SHALL ONE SECTION RULE.
BY 1T. c. ROBERTSON.

My native South, my native land, The country of the brave and free, Our fathers when little band, Bought with their blood our liberty; And since we have to greatness grown, And all the sweets of freedom known, Can we now hesitate to brave All things, our native land to save? Our Fathers had their union too, Their banner, and they loved it long; But when the greater section threw On their part of the country wrong, When one part of the country sought To rule the rest the fathers thought The time had come, when they should be An independent State, and free. Secession in that day arose, In all the majesty of right, In contempt of their naughty foes, And conquered in the gory fight. Then fellow-country-men arise, The North your ev'ry right denies, Your country now your service claims, Wnlie stlll your liberty remains. My native land all Europe now, In anxious thought is turned to thee; Shall we to one proud section bow, Or dare defend our liberty2 Posterity but waits to know, What heritage we shall bestow; Shall they not find, we have maintained The freedom that our fathers gained? Thus we who have been willing long, Our country's freedom to defend,
 Are urged by ev'ry motive strong, For independence to contend:s By our loved native land endeared: By our fore-fathers names revered: By those who, at this moment, brave All dangers, our own rights to save.

Ben McCulloch.

This distinguished, ubiquitous, every where. e.heard-of, unbeatable, and terrible man, was actually in our midst yesterday morning. He arrived on the train from Montgomery, and took the cars on the State Road at l0:l0 in the morning. His destination is unknown. Some who con- versed with him thought they gathered from him that he was going 10 Virginia. Others thought he was on his way to Tex as via Memphis and Little Rock. Others thought he would turn up about Cairo, and again, some are confident that his deslina- is Baltimore. He is in the army of the Confederate Stales, and has Brgadier- Generals commission in his pocket. We cannot say positively just where he will turn up; but let that be where it may. he will make his mark and give good ac- count of himself.
 His personal appearance is remarkable. He is six fee, high, slender and spare- built, but athletic and firmly knit. He is about forty.five years of age; his demean. or quiet, and has none of the tiger-iike fierceness of appearance that many have supposed him to possess. His size, neigh, and weight, the glance and color of his eye, the style of his dress, his hair, beard and features, all resemble the far-famed and invincible Garibaldi more than any other man in the world, except the veri.a- ble Giuseppe himself and McCulloch is not whit behind that celebrated Italian Patriot, in courage, skill and ability as a partisan commander. a
 She short time that he was here, he was more gazed at. and a sight of him was more eagerly sought after by our citizens, than if he had had "seven heads and ten horns. s."-IA,lan.a Confectionery.
 
 THE MINNIE RlrLE.-The first rife in vogue in France was the so-called pil- lar rifle of Thouvenin, but the invention of M. Minnie IS the one which has prac- tically reyolutionized the firearms of the present day. The improvements made by M. Minnie are confied almost wholly to the form of the projectile, and have very little reference to that. of the gun out of which tits fired. The ball is of an oblong conical form, something like an acorn without it's cup; but instead of being solid this cone is hollowed out at the base into cuplike form. The advantages of this form of projeclile are that it offers less re- sistance to the air than a round ball would, and that having its centre of gravity in it's foremost part, it has no tendency to turn over in its flight; but it's chief merit, in a military point of view, Is that with 1t the rife can be loaded as easily as the ordina-. " smooth-bored gun, the forcing of the ball into the grooves of the barrel being effected by the explosion of the gunpow- der, and not by the ramrod.
 The form of the rife proper 10 these conical missiles differs very little from those used with the old sperical bullet, except that three grooved rifle has superseded the old two grooved gun, and 1t is still an unsettled question whether four grooves would not be better than three. With this weapon the soldier can make far bet Ter practice at five hundred, or even one thousand yards, than he would with the, old muskel at one hundred or two hundred yards. s.is.sls sss.e. y .s.
