The returns are not all in, but the vote fog electors of President and cePresident will reach 27,OOO all, of course, for Davis and Stephens.
 Ist Congressional Distrct.-Benton, Madi- son, Marion aud Searcy counties not heard from The remaining counties in the district give Batson 5000; Thomson 2,000; Colburn 50.
 2d Distriet.-Returns not received from Polk, Pike and Columbia. So far as received, the vote stands Royston 2,98l; Scott 528; Mayors 523; Clark 2O5; Wheeler l32; Bearden 54S Huey BIT.
 Sd Dstrict.-The official returns are all in except from the county of Chicot. The vote, as shown by the official returns in the office O. the secretary of State, stands: Garland l,997 Harley l,737; Johnson 2,043; Arnett 504; Mur ray 466; Grace 353. By this 1t will be seen that Johnson leads Garland 46 votes. If Cai cot has given Mr. Garland 47 majority he is elected. His reported majority in that county is 33. If this be all, Ir. Johnson is elected b; l3 majority.
 4th District. Only counties heard from officially. The impression seems to be tha Judge Hanly is elected, though in the six coun ties heard from, Patterson is 900 ahead.

Guns Wanted Immediately

Col. Terry has five companies at this place, of well drilled men, with all the necessary equip- ments and means of transportation but no guns If they can get the guns they will immediately march to the field of battle if not, they will necessarily be disbanded. The General Assem- bly, has appropriated the sum of $25 900 to arm the companies now being raised in the State.- It is not only the duty of all patriotic citizens to bring forward any guns they may have in their possession, and deliver them to the sol- diers who wish to fight for the country, but who ever does so will be paid the price of the gun on delivery.
 Bring up your guns. Let every patriot come forward and arm a soldier. Those who cannot 20 to the war themselves should assist those who can. Let US arm the men who are willing to fight. Their services are needed to defend our homes and iresides from the terrible invasion of ruthless foe.
 Col. Terry has men in the adjoining counties authorized to buy up guns. We trust they may succeed. With a generous and patriotic people to call upon, ace kno,c Mry wW

Arkansas Volunteers

We wish to call attention to the following dispatch from the Secretary of War:
 RICHMOND, Nov. II, 1861. To JOHN D. KIMBuLL,
 Sfcretary of Sencte:
 Your dispatch received. I understand that Gen. Johnston has only disbanded unarmed troops that have not enlisted for the The govern ment cannot give arms to volunteers for twelve months as long it has troops offered for the war, to number greater than can now be armed If Arkansas will initiate her sister States in tcn derino volunteers for the war, the government will supDly them with arms in exact proportion with ths other States J. P. BENJAMIN,
 Act. Sec'y. War. Arkansas has over 10000 troopj in the field, and of this number only about l,600 are in for and during the war" The regiment rais ed by Col. T. c. Hindman, and the battalion oi eight companies raised by Maj. J. 5. Johnson, amounting in all to about l,600 men, are the only troops from Arkansas that have enlisted for the war. All the balance are in for twelve months, whether the war continues longer or not.
 We are therefore justly subject to the impu- tation of the Secretary of War, that Arkansas has not initiated the example of her sister States They have furnished large bodies of troops for the war; Arkansas has not done so, and it is burning shame.
 Why is this? Our military authorities are alone responsible. Our people are patriotic and sclfsacriGcing any other people, but they have been induced to enlist under the State authorities for twelve months, instead of for the war under the Confederate government. The State authorities out bid the Confederate. and the result is any thing but honorable 10 the State.

 We are forced to this by the great enhance ment in the price of printing paper and the great depreciation in the value of all kinds ot paper money. It is a necessity with us to keep up our paper. Our receipts from job work and advertising having long since almost entirel. ceased-we have to rely solely upon the sub scriptions to the paper to keep 1t agoing. The public printing owing to the reduction in prices made at the last session of the General Assembly, the great increase n the cost oi pa per and labor and the depreciated currency We receive from the treasury, has become an ez- pense to us instead of a profit.
 Under these circumstances we are compelled, when our subscribers pay us in paper money, to demand two dollars and fifty cents as the price of our paper.
