A heavy percentage of the northern troops have been foreigners, rowdies, city loafer5, jail birds and those whom necessity drove into the army. This stock, being well nigh exhausted, the additional troops attempted to be raised must come from the farmers and farmers sons. These fellows are very backward in coming for ward, and wonderful are the means resored to in order to induce them to enter the army~ Every newspaper has most spasmodic and highfautin appeals; every stump orator is mak ink blood and thunder speeches; mass meetings are held; every brass band toots from "rosy morn till dewy eve and far into the night, and the whole thing appears to be gotten up as play bills say, on magnificent scale and re- gardess of expense Cities vote thousands as bounty money; the Governor of New ] ork giyss each recruit fifty dollars, and other States ahd cities give bountie8 from twenty-five to seventy five dollars each So far, the fish don't bite even at golden bait and the 300,60O men, if raised at all, must be got by draft or cons scription.

Curtis Still in Arkansas.
We clip the following from the Union ApI

We clip the following from the Union Appeal, published in Memphis on the Sd inst.
 Sr Louis, July 3Oth.-The Iron Mountain railroad company have donated $500 to each regiment now organizing in the State, and orr dered the dismissal of all employees claiming protection from any foreign government to avoid military duty.
 John s. Phelps, newly appointed military governor of Arkansas, arrived tonight.
 It is understood that Gen. Curtis will not leave at present, but remain to frustrate operations of the rebels under Price and Hindman, whose policy in their new campaign in Arkansas and Missouri IS said to be extermination of union men and property wherever found.
 The above probably explains the return of the federals upon White river. They probably think that an invasion of Arkansas by them selves is the best mode of preventing an invasion of Missouri by the Confederates. Consequently Curtis has been reinforced and sent back to White river. We imagine our military author ities will not a second time permit him to escape.

That this war is one of conquest and rapine on the part of the federal government is proved by the appointments ofgovetnors and comman- ders of those cities and States in which the federals have obtained a footing They ap> point old politicians, defeated demagogues and men who have old grudges to satisfy and enc mics to punish.

Col. c. W. Board has put us in possession oi the Memphis Bulletin of the 2nd. It appears that Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee are abaze with guerrilla fires and the federal com manders are vainly endeavoring to quench the fires with the blood of the citizens. We give some extracts from that paper, begging our readers to remember the source.
 Passengers from Helena by the Mayk 4 Cheeh, report that there i3 continual crossing ot Confaderates at and near Walnut Bend, some thirty,fve miles above Helena. They go across in skifs, and swim their horses. How many have crossed in this way we have no means ot knowing, but the number is supposed to be very considerable.
 Unless the signs of the times fail US, we may yet hear something exciting from Arkansas. Camden or some other point-perhaps Llttle Rock-will be the theatre of exciting scenes
 The new policy of Gen. Pope may be seen by the following extract:
 WARRENToN, VA, July 30.-Colonel Loyd, of the 9th Ohio cavalry, commanding at LaIaN yesterday, in pursuance of Gen. Pope.s order, arrested all the male inhabitants of the town and lodged them in the Court House prepara tory to administering the oath Of allegiance. This course is rendered lmperatively necessary from the fact that several left thelr homes IL IS supposed to join the guerrilas who ars on the west side of south bank, and in one instance captured the river pickets.
 The following is the Bulletins summary.

The northern papers, after every battle, say that our troops were maddened by q drink made of whisky and gunpowder. They went so far as to exhibit canteens partially filled with whis- ky and gunpowder which, they said, was taken from the Confedorates after the battle of | Shiloh. They repeat the same lie of the bat ties near Richmond. In truth, there was no whisky at either place, and the surgeons all agree that if they had had some stimulus to serve out to our men on the secon{ day, when they were completely exhausted, 1t would have been of benefit. There was not enough liquid stimulus in our army, at either point, for hos
 pital purposes. Meagher's Irish brigade is pufed and bepraised in the northern journals, as having pulled off their coats, rolled up their sleeves and thrown away theirss hats before going into battle. The Richmond Examiner says number of the men of the brigade were taken prisoners, and all of them had their hats and coats on, the only noticeable thing about them was that they were excessively drunk, and endcavored, atera maudlin fashion, to in- gratiate themselves with our troops by swearing that they had always voted the democratic tick ct and were "no damned abolitionists.n

 Gen. Floyd has been restored to a command in the army and his headquarters are now at Bristol, Va
 The negroes stolen from this State by the federas and those stolen in Tennessee, Alabama and on the Mississippi river have been divided into two classes. The smaller class are those who ran to the federals and who have been in- duced to commit some crime which will pre- vent their return. These are retained and armed to fight against the whites The negroes they forced away or iorcibly stole, which are at least eighty per ccntum of the whole number, are sent up the river toSSwork on the farms in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and other western States, at twelve and half cents day. This furnishes the farmers cheap laborerS and crowds off poor white men in the army. We pity the poor negroes next winter.
