Affairs in Arkansas.

We publish maay interesting facts thls week ia regard to the position of affairs on Whte river. While there is nothing to discourage, there is much to animate aud inspire us to prompt and continued action. Gen. Curtis, as appears from dispatches from himself and Gen. HalEeck, intercepted by Capt. Rutherford at P,cahontas, is in very precarious position with his army, and unless reinfirced with men and supplies very soon, will bs reduced to ex> tremity. Gen. Hindman is uiag all the means at his command to prevent hia reinforcement, and so far as been entirely siccessful. l he enemy's gunboats since the 6gl at St. Charles, m which they were-so badly asd, has effected nothing towards opening White kiver, and Cur tis advance down the river has been checked, for the time being, by the defeatsf Gen. SteelS brigade near Cotton Plant.
 The position of affairs on Whie river can be readily comprehended by every one who will reflect a moment. The importalce of holding hat stream against the enem,s gunboats, and thus preventing reinforcemenu reaching Curtl by that means, will be fully appreciated, ana s it is within our power to do it, if the proper et fort is made, We trust that 70 effort will b. spared. Let all who are capble of bearing .rms turn out, and our generakwil make short york of Curtis and his army. The war could thus be speedily transferred froa Arkansas soil .nd our people left to the undsturbed enjoy
 nent of peace.
