 EDITOR CITIZEN; Nothing of in,as ) pired on~our trip from Des Arc to pnea1. 'raas, The latter place we found to be 'aanno,nta, town, distinguished mainly for b;oh nni-slds and mean whiskey. We may here pnta that it is an absolute outrage. and Ieinafk which the public indignation should oue for for merchants to raise the price of eooIe severe ply because they are needed by the Oous soI,' sn' We know of several instances of tbiS Ia;u,eFs shall not now particularize. A'na but The two companies from Prairie lsp. hontas on the 24th of June, and asas sa. Foca Gainesville on the evening of the 96th 'issd 's at most fatiguing march of more than tsera a',er The route, for great portion of tns tn~o aays was through Cache river bottom, and th way and water made the trip one long to hs hs mud membered. re- | The election for Regimental officers fo. il. the 5th Regiment of Arkansas VolNn,s.u .us transpired on Friday the 2Sth ult.. and dr,'ee ua" as follows: Col. D. c. Cross :: Lient ''u,tsd ute B. F. Sweeny and Major, Pops. Tha s,9 JoL tion of Col. Cross caused dissatisfac.; ac.;ss' among some of the companies who prefsr.s11 the elevation of another gentleman to ,h'a position. Believing that they sincerely rea,s @ their course in the premises we forbear sH ,1 ha,. yet arrived and we are consequently ana,l8 r' n0I to judge of him only by report. Hs "1Oisa hsS position in life, and the testimonials os sfsl $ friends induce the conclusion that the sa,.i uS tion has been wise one. 's' Lieut.. Col. Sweeney is gentleman of co,., handing personal appearance, and is emipas. ly qualified for the pisition to which hs ', elected. In the absence of the Colonal k has taken charge of the Regiment. A' The Major elect we feel no hestancv in O., ing is entirely competent to the duties of K. station.
 The two companies from your county hay, had some sickness in their ranks, but no cass however, of serious nuture. The men cens' rally are cheerful and contented, and perforr their duties, even when severe, with the nj. most alacrity. The Regiment will probablv remain here for some time yet, and friend, desirous of writing to members of our companv may direct to Gainesville. Enclosed you will find an accurate roll os the officers and members of the ssBrownsyie Rifle Guard," which you will be kind enough to insert. Yours, PRAIRIE
