Letter from washington County.

FAYErrKvrrLE, Ark, April 6, 1861.
DEAR DuSaAx:' Some of my friends
were Of opinion, judging from the heavy
falls of rain, that / would not be able to
reach this place without some delay at Lees
Greek. When got within half q mile OF
the creek, stopped to inquire about the
stage of water. and was told that it was
impossible to cross it. Having started
with the intention Of crossing before night,
l was somewhat disconnected at this infor-
nation. but remembering little motto l
had learned whSn . boy, "there's nothing
like trying" 1 ,involuntarily repeated it..
and pursued my way. About quarter OF
q mile from the creek / met two boys with
fishing rods. coming from the creek who
sang out to me + you can't cross the creek" f"
This volunteered information, staggered my
hope for an instant, but the motto came to
my relief, again. In less than five minutes
afterwards caSght sight of horseman on
the near side Of the creek, who proved to
be my friend R. from Fayetteville.
who had just crossed the creek, without
swimming, on horse much small
er than mine. This little incident added tc
my stock of experience in the beneficial in
fluence of hopa So many of our good SO
cession friends Deem to be entirely forsakel
by that bright kngel, Hope. l feel sorr,
for them, for know low much they lose

country, sau ~ e.. s-.a the wandvrrr
to the pure tsisa Of our fathers, and to re
estabiisn tiis government on the principl
on WHICH it waA founded. is a great work
Men without hope will never undertake it
LIE. us cherish hope and labor to strengthel
! our hope-forsaken brothers.
| l. learned a fact yesterday, which will
probably, be as new to most of your read
ers as it was to me it is that q man MAJ
travel from Van Buren, to Fayetteville
within distance Of sixty miles. in the s0es
knee deep, and, if he chose. he might. b.
meandering, make the same journey. with
out crossing any stream.
The farmers along my route seem to b
wellsatisfed with the condition of thei
wheat and oat crops. and the prospects {
an abundant crop of fruit of all kinds, wer
never better.
The Union sentiment is strong. and fror
the best information can get, the proba
bilities now are that the CO operation ticke
will be carried by larger majority tina
before. There have been some changes Q
views by persons of each side.
The Co-operationists and the Secession
lists will each hoist q flag to day, in tn
public square the first will use that sam
old flag, with its stars and its stripes, er
deared to us all by a thousand glorious n
membranes. lido not know the design
the other, as it has not yet been hoisted.
Party feeling seems to run higher hel
than with US.

Mn. EDITOR -

Mr.. EDITOR -
My attention has been directed to an ar.
ticle from the Helena Note Book" head
ed " Quintesence of Impudence." in which
the writer. after paying deserved compli-
ment to our village and its people, takes
you to task for an article which appeared in
a private column. edited by me. The arti-
Gle was headed The Arsenal" and it ex-
pressed. - conceived, the sentiments of a
large majority of our people. in regard to
the wanton and foolish transaction which
took place at Little Rock. just before the
article appeared. The Helena writer makes
some very severe remarks about you but
as he was laboring under . mistake as to
the paternity of the article which excited
his wrath. / am willing to recsive his abuse
and exonerate you. wish to correct the
Helena writer in one respect: the writer ol
the article. which gave bim 20 much offence,
was born and bred ir slave State, and has
never in his life been one hundred miles
from slave territory.
The portion of the article which the Hell
ena man quotes ss being So peculiarly often
sive is this !: I" It becomes an &C. as dishon-
orable ~ it ia unchivalrous-an act the fol-
~ Of which is only exceeded by its in
fanny"
Now. as I desire to do no injustice to
any man or set Of men. promise to take
back every word, if the editor of the Hele-
na paper can prove the act was either hon
orabls or chivalrous. or wise, or that It was
in any degree creditabls to the actors.
I also said: " The act viii meet, ~ It
merits. the unqualified condemnation of ev-
cry decent man in the State. whether seces-
sionist or unionist." Now. if this Helena
writer will say he is decent man, will
acknowledge that I was slightly mistaken
