A SIGNIFICANT FAcr-The forepart of last December, we iaid flying visit to Jackson county, Arkansas. We do not know that we then saw half dozen seceS- sionists in the county. We have returned from an absence of near week, over there, and do not know that we saw'a half dozen Union men. It is not our province to make comments, but we will say that if the North wish to save Arkansas from scces- sion, they must act with more promptness than has characterized their movements in the settlement of the difficulties of the sla- very question: Christian Adcocote, Mem phis.

WHAT IS THE NORTH TO DO FOR NAVY? --The confederate States have already an nexed several of theUnitel States vessels found in southern waters. That, however, might be borne tolerably equanimity, and those vessels might be replaced by others; but the worst of it is that all the regions on which the United States government calculated for the production of live oak timber for the construction of ships ofwar are located within the jurisdiction of the southern confederacy. We are, therefore, dependent upon the charity of an alien government for the material for a navy. The South can, and probably will go, to work to get up an effective marine; but what will the North do? This is one of the fruits of that " irrepressable conflict of which the republican party is at once the author and the victim.-New York Herald

 It is said that there are but three votes wanting in the Virginia convention, to se- cure the passage of secession ordinance; and that the Union men in the convention are inclined to follow the example of Arkan- sas, adopt the secession ordinance and submit it to the people. The secession feeling is evidently gaining ground in the old dominion

OBSERVANCE Of THE REBEL FAST DAY ~
ALEXANDRIA. The fires of rebellion and seces-
sion, though checked and smothered, ure far
from being extinguished in Alexandria, and
the sympathizers with the rebel cause, in that
town, prevented from aiding the rebellion di
rect, seize upon every method and opportunity
within their reach of showing their deadly hos
tiliiy to the Union cause. Last Friday, the
18th inst , was he day set apart by the rebel
authorities, as a day of fasting and prayer
throughout the Southern Confederacy; and all
orthodox secessionists 10 Alexandria, as AL
good and lege subjects of King Davis are il
duty bound to do, offered up prayers in behalf
Of cotton, cheap niggsrs, and despotism The
observance Of the day was not marked by any
public demonstration beyond the dismissal o
the schools, and the occasional closing of .
store for the day. The day (Friday) was mo-.
appropriately chosen-no better day than
Hangmsh's Day could possibly have been Sc
lected.

''-hynohb,wg, Nov. la--Tha following informa;
ton was received here this mornfDg by the
President Of the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad:
Jonesboro', Nov. 13.--The Union men have a
camp of l,0O0to 1900 Ut Elizsbethiown, near
the Carolins line, about twenty miles ffronf
Bristol, and another of about 100 near Straw
berry Plains. They are both Increasing, ana
they threaten to take possession Of the railroad
aud burn the bridges. Ea .
Lynchburg, Now rs The westefu tssin
brings the through mail and dates AZ late as
Knoxville, November 10.
Passengers say that the reported damage
done by Union men to bridges has been much
exaggerated.
Knoxville has been placed under martial
law.
.Forty-fvs prisoners had been captured by
General Floyd. His command had arrived on
a train1 IA portion Of ,them were captured
while holding the recent election In the North
West. Their poll-book was also captured,
with the names of the voters.
Nashville, Nov. The Union and Ameri-
can will publish to morrow an address to the
people OF Tennessee by Gov. Harris, calling
upon them TO furnish every doable.barrel shot
gun and rife they have to arm the troops now
| offering their services. r........
| He says that the State must aid to the full
extent Of their resources; her soil shall be pro-
tsoted. He calls upon Tennesseeans to ex.
hsust every resource Of the State before the
foot Of the invader shall pollute Tennessee.
Parties who arrived to day from East Ten
nessee report great excitement there, and there
was fear Of general outbreak. Five mer
have been arrested, charged with being con
cerned In the burning OF Hawassee bridge.

THE NAvr.-The proverb, that it never rains
bat it pours, is now being illustrated in the
case Of the navy. Immediately after the an
nouncement Of the splendid achievement al
Port Royal, we had the reported capture, near
Key West, of an Eogsh steamer with large
cargo Of arms for the rebels, and we now have
the bagging Of tbOse two chief conspirators,
Sldell and Mason. These events are restoring
the navy to the popularity which 1t acquired
during and prior to the war of 1872 1t is
now seen that the Secretary Of the Navy and
his assistant secretary (who is sailor bred)
have been at work, for months past, while be,
ing roundly abused for doing nothing, and that
the navy has been brought into condition oI
efficiency, in wonderfully short space OF tim"
considering iLs dlapidation under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Toucey. If there is any danger
now, it is that the navy will become too popa'
IN.

A YANKEE CRY AT PoRT RoYAL.AThe
sound Of our booming guns at Port Royal has
hardly died away before it is announced that
the freemen Of the North intend to occupy IL,
by building up commercial city, to rival lazy
old Charleston. 1t is said that port Of entry
will be established, aud town commenced, In
case Beaufort is unavailable; that already
frame houses have been shipped, and shrewd
business men, with q sharp lookout for The
valuable trade of that region, are on the move
thither, and We may soon expect to hear that
town lots are bringing fabulous prices for the
new city. Applications are pouring in from
Northern patriots to be appointed collector Of
Customs at Beaufort, or of the new city. They
will be attended to in due time.

sLIDELL AND MASON.

By the law OF natious neutral flag does not
protect beiligerent property, and wheasversi
bas been urged that free ships should mlke
free goods" it has been done, not on the ground
that the law Of nations established any such
principle, but because 1t was believed to b.
= desirable modification Of the law Of nations.
The high seas are under the concurrent
urlrdiction Of all civilized nations, and each
has the right to, cspture either the persons or
property OF its enemies, under whatever fsp
found.
1t never was pretended that any part of the
high seas, beyond the limits Of the deck Of II
Government a,7ned ship, could be appropriated
TO the special jurisdiction Of one nation.
A neutral vessel has no better right to trans
port the public ministers and agents of u bel
igerent than it has 10 transport the armed
,orces Of belligerent. 1t |. doubtful, il both
acts are not such a violation Of the duties OF
neutrality as would. subject the offending ves
sel to forfeiture. But at any rate, and beyond
all peradventurs, the o'her belligerent II i
has the power, may seize either the public
ministers, or armies, so attempted to be car
ricd. The principle is just as clear in the case
Of public ministers, as 1t Is Ia the case o.
armies.

we're far at sea. 1t so happened that General
sumner, with 500 United States troops, and
10000 riied muskets, were on board the same
steamer. All went on well until they were
within two days of Panama, when Gen. Sum-
usr politely informed the trio that they were
bis prisoners, he having good evidence that
they were plotting against the peace and safety
Of the United States. He at the same time signi-
fed to them that they would not be placed under
close arrest ill the ship reached anchorage In
the Bay Of Panama but as the General did not
take immediate possession Of their baggage,
Brent and Benham, went 70 their state-rooms,
and threw from their Windows large packages
of papers aud documents. A carpet bag, sup

had been made, their baggage was seized, and
it is said valuable papers have thus been oh,

Ran Runels, of Texas, who has just vacated the
office Of United States consul at Chinandega
Nicaragua, and Mr.. Theo. J. dc Sahls, of Ten
nessee, late United States vice consul at Pana'
ma, applied to the authorities for the arrest o

liberty of DR.. Gwin, and with intent to forcibly
carry him out of New Granada, in contempt o
her sovereignty, and In violation Of her territory
whereupon the Governor ordered his police and
military force to prevent any such procedures
They guarded the landing all day, but whe'
Gen Sumner was ready, he Landed his prisoners
under strong guard of United States soldiers
and placed them In the cars, without any mill
tsry resistance on the part of the Panama
authorities, they having only 275 men iu th'
place, while Gen. Sumner had 466, armed will

When they reached Aspinwall, they w,r'
marched through close ranks Of soldiers

FRANcs JACKSON, one of Boston's noblest
men, died in that city, on Thursday last. 1t is
now nearly thirty ysirs since the gentlemen Of
Boston determined t, suppress all discussion
on the subject Of slavery, and by way of illus
tratng Their idea then broke up meeting of
women, which was being addressed by William
Lloyd Garrison, pnt a rope around his neck
and attempted to hang him. Mr.. Jackson was
lover of free speech, and threw open his house
to the persecnted and devoted anti-slavery men
and women, and from that hour he espoused
their cause, and became the treasurer of the
American Anti'slivcry Society, which office he
held at the time Of his death. His death was
sudden, and will be greatly lamented.

PROCLAMATION OF COL. JENNfsoN


Leapen,cortt, Nov. 14.--The First Kansas
cavalry, Col. Jennison, has left here for Seda-
lia, Mo-, to protect supply trains and other
Government property at that and neighboripg
points. Col. Jsnnison has issued a proclama.
,ion 70 the people of Jackson, Lafayette, Cass,
johnson, and Pitts counties, Missouri, from
which the following extracts are made: r.
We march to enforce the laws and sustain
the Government Every loyal citizen Ia ex
pected to give evidence Of his loyalty by active
efforts for the protection Of the flag. ~
For four months our armies have marched
through your country; your protested friend :
ship has been fraud; your oashs of allegiance
have been shans Of perjuries; you fed the rebel
army; you act as spies while claiming to be
true to the Union; we don't care about your
past political opinions; no man will be prose
cuted because be differs from us, but neutrality
Is ippossibls; If you are patriots you must
fight; II y0u are traitors you will be punished.
D The time for fighting has come. Every man
who feeds, harbors, protects, or In any way
gives aid and comfort TO the enemies Of the
Union, will be held responsible for his treason
with his life and property; while all the proper.
ty of Union men, aud all their rights. will be
religiously respected. a.
Traitors will everywhere be treated as out.
laws, enemies of God and man, too base to hold
any description of property, and having no
rights which loyal men are bound to respect.
The last dollar and the last slave of rebels will
be taken and turned over to the General Gov
ernment. Playing war is played out, and wher
ever Union troops are fred upon, ihe answer
will boom from cannon, and desolation will fol.
low treason. .,,....
All the land between Fort tLeavenworth and
the headquarters of the Army of the West Is
under the jurisdiction of the United States, and
we propose TO have II regular road over II, and
safe communication through 1t, no matter al
what cost Of rebel treasure and blood.
