LEAD IN AREANsAs.-A correspondent OF the
Helena Shield calls attention to report OF geo.
logical reconnaissance of the State OF Arkansas,
made by R. D. Owen in ls59.60 in when lie says
it is stated, on page II, a vein of lead had been
discovered running from Pulaski csunty In south
western direction through Saline, Hot Springs,
Montgomery Pike and Sewer counties, to the In
dian Nation, and that it has been worked in
Pulaski and SEWER counties. The ore is rich, and
in Sewer county III yielded 73 per cent G. nearly
,hree-fourtlls Of the weight in lead, mixed with
portion of silver. g.
The same writer says that there has been some
copper and zinc also discovered in the same re
gons, and these articles are used to make brass
Valuable mineral deposits were found in Newton
county. By examining the report referred tt
scientific men can learn the townships and sec
tions named that contain mines which have bee
worked and the ore tested. We suggest that tn
facts stated be looked into. ."r..--,- Z.

PROTEST OF THE FRENCH Commemorative copy
from our cotemporary, the Delta, the following
brief and spicy protest of the Commandant of the
French steamer Milan, now at anchor off our city.

every one:

y LAMENrABLE SuIcIDE.-On Tuesday afternoon
of our Oldest and most respectable Creole citi-
zen, MIR. Courcelle, put an end to his existence by
drowning himself in the Old Basin. Mr.. Courcelle
was native of this city, and for eighty-six years
the period of his existence-has never leftit, ex-
cepting perhaps to take short trip across the
lake. He was an ardent patriot, and from the be-
ginning of the present war, has been a warm sup.
porter of the Government of the Southern Confed.
eracy. Since the day upon which the Federal
fleet came up to the city he appeared to have lost
his reason, and was frequently heard to exclaim
that he did not wish to see the flag Of an enemy
wave over his beloved city. Early on Tuesday he
disappeared from his usual haunts, and no tidings
was had of him till his lfeless body was found
floating in the muddy waters of the canal. Mr..
Courcee's death brings affliction to many family
circle, as he was most extensively connected in
the city.

KING CoTTON BEING DEPOsED, KING Iron
AsCESDs THE THRoNE.-Commenting upon the
receipt in Europe of the intelligence of the de-
struction of the Federal men of-war in Hampton
Roads by the iron-clad steamer Virginia, the Nor
folk Day Book remarks as follows:
No event Of the present war has been fraught
with half the significance which attaches to the
successful experiment of the steam battery, Fir-
ginia, Manassas, Leesburg, Doneison, were simply
matters for European statesmen and soldiers to
discuss at their leisure, to speculate upon, and
crtcise with professional instinct or curiosity
topics to be talked Of laid aside, and talked Of
again. But the of the Virginia ia differ
ent thing. 1t offers matter of talk Of COZ sultation
but most of all, matter for action The South has
revolutionzed the aspect of modern warfare. The
tact is not too strongly stated in these terms for
an entire change in seaCOast assault and defence
was wrought on that memorable sth of March,
and the no less memorable 9th succeeding 1t. By
the time the de'ails OF the Federal disaster in
Hampton Roads. are fairly before the European
public, every Government will forthwith set to
work to defend its harbors and construct an iron
navy.
England, France, Russia, Sardinia, spain and
Austria will ring with the exploits of the Virginia,
and in each. the question how far this knowledge
is to disturb the balance of power will be anxious
iy debated. Especially will the English MUD be
uneasy. This demonstration places her more
within the grasp OF France than she has ever been
and she will in it the twinkng of an eye. Her
pow ertul rival has compact territory, with few
rivers her cities are mainly inland, while Britain
| s cleft by many deep and accessible streams, and
has colonial possessions scattered over the face OF
the globe. And, both in turn, will look anxiou-y
| toward the "great bear,' who has not ceased to
| remember his Crimean experience. Thus the
labors so quietly and perseverngly prosecuted 10
the navy.yard-thus the experiment SO splendidly
made in Hampton Roads, have given European
| Cabinets more to think of, more to plan, more tc
hope, to fear to spend, than any event of the cen
| tury. - 5.'
| Cotton has been deposed. Iron is King, ant
was crowned in the shield of the Virginia. Let u
| see that due homage is paid to his grim majesty
| and that at once.
