Since the enemy obtained possession of the Mississippi river we have been flooded with all sorts of rumors of the most extravagant and im- probable character. These rumors are, we doubt not, frequently, the inventions of the ene- my to lull us into false security while he in dustriously plans and accomplishes our ruin. Let our people heed them not, but labor on in the good cause. If European intervention comes at al 1t will only come when by our manliness and success, with arms in our hands, we prove our title to be recognized dmong the nations of the earth.
 The enemy-are in our midst, they are at our doors, with threats of vengeance upon our heads. Reinforcements to Curtis are approaching, Ii not already in conflict with our forces, and it behooves every patriot to be up and doing. We can, we must, and we will drive the Yankees from the State. We have already driven them of, when coming upon us in much larger nun bers, on three or four different occasions, and we are as well prepared and as able to do it again. Let us make the effort. Let every man in the State do his duty, and in less than twen- ty days, Arkansians will have the proud satis' faction of again boasting that Arkansas IS the only State in the Confederacy where the feder~ als ever failed to find lodgment. Ky the valor of our people we have been heretofore free from invasion, let us resolve to be so again or to perish.
 On the subject of rumors etc., we invite at tentisn to Gen. Hindmans' circular.

WHERE IS THE SEAT OF GovERNMENT?-Un- der this title writer in the Gazette of last week shows that the seat of government is at Little Rock. Indeed, in the absence of any official notification of removal or change of location, it cannot be otherwise. If part of the State gov ernment is ruSticatiny, we suppose there is some reason for it, but it is decidedly inconvenient to those who have business to transact with the State.

 This oppression, though grevious, would work out good results, but the wretch whom God has permitted to become ruler of that city, to his brutality. adds cunning. Finding that this crush ing policy was engendering feelings of hatred he endeavors to array the poor against the rich and disseminate agrarian doctrines. We have not space to copy here his orders, appeals and procamations. Having control of all railroads and the river, he prevents supplies from reach ing the citizens, and then graciously doles them out food to keep them from starvation. In doing this he artfully contrives to make it appeartha their suferings are not of his contrivance, bu the result of the revolution.

In Dowagiac, February 9Th, MARY GREEN,
wife of Abel Green, aged 49 years months and
days.
The deceased was resident of Canisteo, Stuben
County, N. Y. She having felt that her time
on earth was short, entertained very strong
desire to see once more beloved daughter and
her family, who are residents of this place. And
though her Physician assured her that she could
not survive the fatigue of the journy here, yet
such her anxiety to see her children. that with
an unwavering confidence in that God in whom
she had so long trusted, she took her life as
it were in her hand and started with her only and
beloved sou; and through the sustaining grace of
God, she not only lived to share the consolation
of meeting her loved ones on the shores of NOR
tally but of gladening their hearts by her presence
and smiles, for about six weeks before her happy
spirit took its fight to the regions of glory. And
they in turn had the pleasure of administering to
and sympathiziug with loved mother in the last
few days of her earthly existence. She was ever
true as a friend, confiding and obliging as COM
panion, al1ectionate and faithful as mother aud
she had for over thirty years been devoted and
consistent as christian. Her end was peaceful,
and we trust her future will be glorious.
CARD OF THANKS.
The husband and children of the deceased, take
pleasure in expressing their greatful acknowledge
ments to the citizens of Dowagiac, for the cheerful
aid and sympathy extended towards them during
the sickness and burial of her, whose absence they
now deeply mourn.
Mother, we loved thee,
But we knew that thou must die,
We saw the rose fade from thy cheek,
The luster from thine eye.
Thy work is done, thou art at rest,
Thy pains and cares are Ger,
The place that have known thee long
Will know thee now no more
'Twere hard, oh, very hard to part
With one we loved SO dear,
But OBJ we would not wish thee back
To suffer longer here.
So fare thee well mother,
We check the rising sigh,
For he who said to live is Christ,
Declared it gain to die
Mrs. POLLY c. HAGHT.
