Seauestration Notice.

We call especial attention to the notice ot the Receiver, A. H. Rutherford, esq, of the Eastern district of Arkansas, published in our columns today. The law is an important one to the Confederate States, and every citizen of the South is interested to a greater or less extent Those among them who do not owe northern creditors herhaps, may know of some one who does. The law in such cases requires them to report to the receiver every debt of which they may have any knowledge, where the same is due or owing by citizen of the Confederate States, to citizen of the United States. Also to give notice to the receiver of all and every hereditament, lands and tenements held, owned or possessed in the Confederate States, Tn whole or in part, by citizens of the United States. At torneys at law, agents, trustees, administrators and all others, are required to report to the re- ceiver all money, debts, claims, goods, or chat tels in their possession or knowledge owing by or due from citizens of the Confederate States to citizens of the United States.

Telegraph to Fort Smith.

Some weeks since we announced that the Hon. ROBERT w. JOHNSON had procured from the Gen. federate government, an order for the establish ment of telegraphc line of communication be tween Little Rock and Fort Smith, for the purpose of speedy communication with Gen. McCulloch's army. We now notice that the government has acted promptly, and awarded the contract to build it to Mir. H. A. Montgomery, the builder of the telegraph line between Little Rock and Memphis. The Memphis Appeal of the lth says:
 "LrrrLE ROCK AND FORT SMITH TRLEGRApH.- w e learn from :. telegram to MT. D. B. McHenry, last night, that energetic fellow -citzen H. A. Montgomery, now at Richmond, has secured the contract from the powers that be- for building the telegraph line from Little Rock to Fort Smith This line is very important to us, particularly at the present crisis. and we are very glad to know that it has been put in hands which will put it through in the shortest possible space of time."
 The contract could not have been given to a better man, and we feel that he will not only put up good line, but will do it speedily.
 Mir. Johnson also procured an order for the es- tablishment of line between Des Arc and Poca- hontas, and we hope soon to hear that steps have been taken to place it under contract too It is true that Gen. Hardee's command has been remov ed to Kentucky but that fact renders the necessity of speedy communication with Pocahontas all th

VAN BUREN STEAM CoTToN MILL.-The Van Buren Press gives us the following information, for which we take off our hat to Mir. Durham and make him low bow:

 Two sets of wool cards-which can card 300 lbs.
 1908 spindles-whch enables them to turn out 800 lbs. of cotton yarn. per day. of wool per day.
 They have no looms, except for making seamless sacks.
 They are also grinding wheat and corn-grind- ing from 100 to l50 bushels per day.
 They run an engine of l50 horse power. From which power a saw mill is run, when they have nothing else to do.
 This factory is we believe, the only one in the State that is making cotton yarn-the factory at Cane Hill is not inning. The Van Buren Mill, is working full time and will be able to supply the demand, at least for this State, with cotton yarn.
 Planters having cotton to spin and wool to card; will find this Mill just the place to have it worked up in the best manner.
 Let us encourage home manufacture, and dem onstrate to certainty, that we can live and pros per without the aid of northern fanatics.
 Good for Van Buren! We were under the impression that there was another factory in the southern portion of the State. At all events we are glad to find that the Van Buren mill is at work and that our good housewives can get supply of spun truck" at home.

The Concert.

On Tuesday night the ladies and gentlemen of this city gave another concert and number of tableaux, at the theatre hall. Though the night was cloudy and threatened rain, the hall was filled to overfiowing. The songs were well received and some of them with degree of enthusiasm not often manifested on such occasions. The life pie lures were we'll selected and carried out Every body was pleased and united in giving praise to the patriotic performers for their tasteful and handsome entertainment One of the features of the even- ing was the reception of a valuable picture, in embroidery, from the Sisters of Mercy, to be sold and the proceeds applied to aid the brave volun- teers.
 The selection of songs and music was better than in the first concert, the songs were simple, more generally understood and appreciated, and there was greater variety of tableaux.

Death of Col. Lyon.
notice./

I've received the following dispatch few days since from Bowling Green:
 BOWLING GREEN, Oct. 18th, 1861.
 To R. H. JoHysoN-Col Lyon was killed yes- terday by fall from his horse. His remains will be sent to Camden immediately.
 A. T. HAWTHORNE, IL. Col.
 Commanding 6h Ark. Regimr
 The following particulars of this sad event are thus given in the Memphis Appeal:
 "FArAL AccIDENT.-At Bowling Green, Ky, on Thursday night, Col. Lyon, of the 9th reg ment of Arkansas volunteers, approached the Tennessee river, at about o'clock, for the purpose of super intending the crossing of some of his men. The night was windy, the rain falling heavily, and it was very dark, and under these circumstances Col. Lvon's horse stumbled down bluff bank. The Colonel had his neck dislocated and thigh bone broken; death was, of course, instantaneous. He was forty five or fifty years of age, and leaves a family in Arkansas. During the crossing of the river, couple of mules drawing a wagon con- taining Gen. Hardees effects and baggage, be- came frightened backed over the ferryboat, and the mules, the wagon, and the property were all lost Many in Arkansas, where Col. Lyon was we'll known, will receive the news of his unfortunate death with grief. He embarked his life in the cause of his country, and he lost it. Even the glory of dying upon the battlefield was denied him. But still he died in the discharge of his duty, with his harness on, and his memory will be none the less dear to his countrymen. Col. Lyon was beloved by those who knew him. he was a thorough gentle man and gallant soldier. After the many sacri- fees he made, and the hardships he endured, it was hard that he should have lost his life otherwise than in the glorious conflict of arms.

Died-In this city, October l2, 1861, CARRIE GIBSON, infant daughter of John P. and Mary A. Karns, aged I6 months and 2l days.
 This, the babe of Sister Karns, was cherub child, and the dearest earthly object on which she bestowed her constant care and purest thoughts. She was truly lovely child My darling friend, though the cradle is empty and the bright eyes of your little Carrie closed in death and your heart left desolate from the loss of your babe put your trust in God for he alone is able to heal the broken heart. That sweet innocent that filled your bosom with joy is now shining angel in par adse. It was only lent you a short while, and then God called the little lamb home safe from the broils and snares of the world it is housed in Gods great mansion, there to await the coming of it's bereaved parents.

 A CARD.
Editor True Democrot:

For the qualification of the numerous friends of Capt. Zachariah Philips, who was captain of the Fair Play rife company from Hot Spring and oa- line counties, Arkansas, we must say that we re- gret to have to give up our gallant captain, but owing to his very bad health through the solicita- tion of his friends (which embrace the whole com pany) he resigned his office and was hcnorably dis charged, by which the Fair Play company lost good captain, moral man, gentleman and one who was loved by his company. May he be re- stored to his health may he prosper in his old age, may he live to the Confederate States freed from Northern aboitionists, and the South ern Confederacy as an independent South, freed by her brave sons.
 Yours respectfully, G. w. EVERETT.

NEW ENGLAND AND THE WAR.-The New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury, in late article urg- ing the people of that city to make sacrifices for the war, says:
 "Certainly, in no mode at all commensurate with its wealth and intelligence, has New Bed ford demonstrated it's appreciation of the terrible nature of the struggle and the vast interests de- pending on it's result. We think we do not over state the case. From city having more than twenty thousand inhabitants, not c single com pany enlisted for the uar. We know of no sac rifice worth the name that has been made in any direction"
