But it may be asked, if we cannot sus- tain an army during war what are we to do? Let us act in concert with, not Tn op- position, to the Confederate States. They call for men for the war, and would will lingly and gladly accept and command tor our defence, men so enlisted and ann ed, and we should thus reap the advantage and not pay the cost. But the State IS calling men for one year. The result IS, that while the State has assembled five re giments, and refused as many more, mol t,oo, not one, has reported for Confederate service. Thus the State has called into service an army, which she is unable to feed, clothe, transport and furnish three months; and by her own action prevented the enlistment in Confederate service for her protection. Is this foresight? Is it wisdom? Either the State should abandon her army, or else keep it within her means and labor by all means to encourage enlist ment for Confederate service. One fact in our own experience should teach this lesson All the leading battles of the revolution were won by the continentals, and nearly every battle lost, was lost by the defectior
 in the hour of danger, of the State contin gents and the militia.

Our Shylocks.

It is humiliating fact that in times like the present there are men found unpatriotic enough to speculate on the necessities of their fellow man. Our Shylocks are using every exertion to depreciate paper currency, in order to speculate on that depreciation. Some of them, in business transactions, arc refusing to take paper except at very un- reasonable discount. The effects of this course are manifest. It seriously incSn- modes all parties. It will bring about want of confidence in the currency of the South, and thus destroy the solid sinews of war. but it is useless to enumerate further. 1t must strike every one--even the usurers themselves, that such course is unworthy of the south, and highly detrimnntal to u interests of the community. It ig too much after the Yankee style, an1 nublic sentiment will not tolerate it. I.et ne hone for better things in tho futu'e.

MlssoURI.--This State has at last as serted its dignity and thrown off the fctters of Lincoln. Gov. Jackson's proclamation, calling for fifty thousand volunteers, is eagerly responded to- and we have not the least doubt that in two weeks he will De sustained by ten thousand men from Ar kansas and Tennessee. They will soon teach the insolent Lyon and his myrmidons better manners, and better republicanism than they have yet learned, and chastise, we hope, effectually, the murderers of the women and children of St. Louis We hail this move with pleasure as we believe it will liberate both Missouri and Kentucky, and open the upper Mississippi to our trade

MILITARY JEALoUsIEs.-The history of all wars and of every revolution has clear ly taught one important fact, that half of the ill-succcss has been brought about by little iealousies in councial or in the ranks With this historic truth impressed upon us, we are not at all surprised that this baneful virous should manifest itself among the volunteers of Arkansas. We hope, however, that it will be laid aside, tRht officer will cease to undervalue his fellow officer, and that privateS will respect and obey their superiors. The prospect of i'm mediate fighting Is imminent, and it will be terrible if we go into the conflict, torn up by little dissensions. We are persuad-- ed that mostly all dissatisfaction originates, among outsiders or among few restless. ambitious, and worthless fellows who have not been promoted as their self-esteem Ted them to expect. Privates, officers, sold .ers and citizens--let us be as band of brot hers

GaZette'S Malignancy.

The editor of the Gazette indalges in the following malicious strain while writing back from Memphis:
 "We southern people have our weakness as well as those residing in other regions; and one pecu- liar weakness is boosting and blowing l hare heard of sev eral patriotic southern gentlemen who had given the proceeds of their cotton crops to the number of hundreds of bales each, as an actual oratuity to the government of the Confederate States and in the conGding simplicity of my heart believed it was true in every word and every lne On this subject have been disabused, though, and learn that the patriotic gentlemen only made an advance of their cotton for Confederate stocks, | arl rnada very good sales of their crops Ly the 1 oDcratiGn On tine subject of advancing money l on Confederate stocks, learn that two free ne- | eroes in New Orleans have invested thirty thou sand dollars not in cotton, but III actual cash lQ stocks in the Confederate States at par, anu many | others have made similar advances oi smaller suns in like manner. This is done because VI
 thought to be a good investment of capital, and not for the purpose of making van glorious ols' play of patriotism.
 He hears upon the streets of Little Rock
 a report that he never cares to inquire into
 its truth, and would unwillingly hear it if
 in his power. The Congress of the Con
 federate States passed law to raise funds
 upon cotton and give in payment its bonds.
 Of this law the learned editor Is as usual
 totally ignorant. "Patriotic southarn
 gentlemen, did offer to give cotton If nee
 essary. but were informed that the govern
 ment would issue their bonds for whatever
 amount the cotton sold, and would accept no
 g1atuity. He says further: these patriotic
 gentlemen made very good sales of their
 crops by the operation" If the editor al-
 ludes to the same persons that we heard had
 offered cotton, he heard another Ee whCrSha
 heard they had made any sale. He insinu- ates that it was a speculation. In this he
 insiunates another falschood. No one has sold cotton to the Confederate States, and the Confederate States will not purchase : cotton. It will simply give bonds for the amount in cash the cotton sells for in the : hands of the merchant. The bonds only
 draw eight DOT cent. interest, figure which
 no money lender. would accept. The impression that this only half south. ern sheet would throw out against men who
 are willing to aid the cause is false, and could only be prompted by the malice the ) editor of that paper feels tor every one who r had been guilty of the crime of advocating } secession.
 Q When the elitor of the Gazette left fol Richmond We had hoped he hal left hi. = malice towards southern men behind him 3 In revolution so terrible as to shake uI such dress to the top, his friends may have : hoped for revolution in his nature. Ii : this is the business the military board ha, q sent him on, the State will reap but littl, s prof: from his efforts in his lucrative DO sition.
