TALK WITH Our READEns.-Just one year
has glided by into the great gulf of the past
since We assumed our present relations with
you. 1t was this same month of Nav. 1861.
"hen our predecessor, startled by the unwont-
cd sounds of hostile guns, booming at Sumter,
and fired with Indignation by Lincoln's infa-
nous treachery. dropped the pen, and rushei u
sword in hand upon the grand theatre Just
opened. The nations of the world have since
been wondering spectators of its scenes.
Filter for civil than for martial duties
bound by ties which threw the balance of mo-
raj Obligations so as to fix US at home anxious
in some humble way to serve the great cause
OF Southern Independence, we seized the pen
he had dropped and presumed to address you,
as also your friend and mutual counselor
ourllng scenes have since occurred. Grave
questions have arisen. Passions have seethed
aud boiled in our midst. Our hearts have re-
Jo ced with hope, our souls exuted in victory.
aud our minds been depressed at times with the
gloom of spondency-yours as well rs ours.
During all which We have had no other
object than to sustain an unfalterng trust in
the righteousness of our cause. We have con.
ccaed no caiamities. We have knowingly ex-
aggerated no victories. We have been some
ines mistaken. We have never been uncan-
Iii I. We have not felt the ordinary passions
of the editorial fraternity. We belonged to no
party. Had no favorite whose fortunes we
iostered. No schemes to promote. No enmi-
ties to crafty. We have felt the same obliga-
tions to exchange true sentiments and express
genuine feeling; in addressing our readers, as
we would friends around freside
We have cautiously avoided oiIensc. Our
sheet has been kept pure. we hope from all
tersonal acerbities of ourselves or others. We
have felt too much the solemn weight of ma
Iional cares to he busted with the petty strifes
If private persons.
We feel that you have dealt considerably
also. We have often run counter to YOUR pre-
judccs. Often mbatted the convictions Of
your Judgment. You have allowed Us the right
of thought. No man has stopped his paper in
anger. Few have withdrawn at all
Such have been the feelings and motives,
which have carried u through the year. Such
they will contiue, God keeping US from evil.
We look back and see some errors of judgment,
some pred ctons unfuliled. But We find no
word to retract. 1t is something to be able to
say, in this hasty spoken age. And now that
we have had this anniversary salutation we
retire to our privacy, hoping that it has not
been disagreC able to you that We have so ex-
pressed ourselves, aad that feeling thus the
cgotism will be excused.

BUENING CoTToN.-W d. not appre-
bend that it will be necessary for the
planters of Hampstead, Lafayette, Sewer
and the Texas Red River couLtics to
destroy their cotton. They should no; DO
it uuu ecessarily, and no one but peranns
duly authorized have the right TO do il
against their will. But in ease of danger
it should be done at once, and ;here should
be persons ready to do it for all alike,
without fear or favor.
TO this end we recommend the plant ers
of those counties to appoin, in each, some
discreet and energetic man, who, through
such agents as he may select in the diff
fereut ueighborhoods Of his county, may
see that all the cotton Is prepared fur
burning, aud may be prepared to have the
torch instantly applied whenever 50 iu-
,tructed by the chief. In other words,
constitute Cotton Police for the special
purpose.

MuITARY.-The splendid infantry reg ment
from Texas under command of Col A. Nelson.
struck tEeir camps and marched through our
town early Monday morning on their way to
Little Rock. Every one of our citizens express
the highest admiration of this regiment. Its
good condition and orderly conduct speaks
highly for tue officers whilst the appearance
of the men, their excellent drill, and well ap-
pointed arms, gives US assurance of most eff
olent service in the protection of our State.
Our ,ArkGnsas Regiments must look to their
ianrels They are in dan ger. This regiment
has an excellent brass band. Our citizens
tender their thanks for delightful serenade,
last Saturday night, in the course of which
they were addressed in beautiful and stir
ring manner by Hon. l.. B. Green. now here
in attendance upon Court. They also received
fitting reception from Hons. c. B. Mitchell
and G. D. Royston.
The cavalry regiment from Texas under
command of Col. Darnelf is now here. Six
Companies are in camp and the others daily
expected to arrive with the trains, in order to
proceed Immediately to Little Pock The
Col. is fine looking officer and the whole ap
pearance of the regim ent compares favorably
with any cavalry which has passed. The men
crowd our streets every day and give our vii
lage quite marital air. 1t is gratifying to
say, they are civil and gentlemanly and seem
anxious to cultivate an entente cordiale with the
citizens of our place. That is the right spirit
