The Legizlature and Our Finances.

The ordinance ot the convention appro- priating money to carry on the war, ori- ginally appropriated five millions of dol, lars. On its passage, probably in secret session, it was cut down to two millions. The ordinance authorizing the issuance of war bonds is not, we are told, an indepen- dent appropriation, but simply points out the mode in which the appropriation may be expended.
 This being the case, we were in error last week in stating that three millions could yet be drawn in treasury warrants. The ap- propriation, instead of five, was cut down to two millions of dollars. Of this sum there was issued for military purposes, about seventeen or eighteen hundred thous- and dollars. A part of this was paid back, 1 and the balance of this appropriation unex- pended, up to this time, is four hundred and three thousand, eight hundred and thirty five dollars. This will not be enough IO cdTfV tbu tHc Ctdte SOfeiHileUL untll JUc regular session of the legislature in Nov em Der next, unless some unforeseen events should transpirc, For the past year the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the State have exceeded two hundred thousand month, on an average. At this rate, the balance on hand added to the undrawn ap- propriations for civil purposes, would car " us about the middle of May. The call ing out of the militia, carrying them into camps and other matters will increase our expenditures largely. These demands must be met and, in good time, the manner of spending the money heretofore should be rigidly enquired into.
 We doubt very much if quorum of the General Assembly willmeet for some time. There are at least seven, if not more mem bers of the Senate who are in the army.- What proportion ofthe members of the low CT house are in the military service, we do not know. It is possible that quorum may be got together in the course of week or fwO<

FROM THE WEST,

We have made arrangements to receive tho earliest news from the west. We take this occa sion to thank our friends for dispatches and let ters, and hope they will continue to keep us pos ted.
 We are more and more pleased with the action of Gen. Van Dorn. One day we hear of him at Pocahontas, l50 miles north of this point and on the next at Jacksonport. A few days after telegram is received from him at Clarks vile, 100 miles west of us, and anon he is re- ported at Boston Mountain, 200. miles from Little Rock. Ew apartment seems to have caught the activity of the commander.
 Last week the iederals took possession of Fayetteville. Capt. Gibson had skirnish with their advance guard, in which he lost four men killed and one wounded. On the Path Col. Greer went up within sight of Fayetteville and saw large federal flag waving on the court house. This flag is said to have been presented by J. NJ. Tebbetts, who turned out to be a tory He was native of Yankeeland, ofNew Hamp shire we believe.
 We wish our stay at home young men and would be neutrals, if there are any, to now that the federal commanders took all young pen they could find in Benton and Washington couns::ss. put arms in their hands, then placed them in the front ranks and told them they must fight, They were compelled to take the oath,

Soldiers Families.

A tax of one'ftth of one per centum, except upon the property of volunteers who have less than $l ,OOO worth of property, on the assess inent of Pulaski county, has been levied for the benefit of the families of those in the military service. This may yield $l0,00O. The fami- lies that will need assistance will number three or four hundred, provided the militia are march ed off This tax will raise enough to give thirty or forty dollars to each family; evidently not enough.
 We need an organization to enable us to afford ample and systematic relief A free mar ket or storehouSe where necessares bought cheaply in large quantities could be distributed, would be an excellent idea. Printed circulars soliciting donations of corn, vegetables, beeves, etc., should be presented to each planter and weIl,to-do farmer. By these means large amount of stores aud provisions could be col~ ected, and if necessary, sent to different points. We hope some comprehensive and general sys- tem will be adopted. This dolng out of pit tances, by coutty court, to !" humble petition ers," and making record of the appropria- tions, is putting these people in the attitude of paupers and beggars Hundreds will suffer be- fore they will place themselves in this false po- sition. These persons are not paupers, but citizens, and they should be sought out their wants euquired into, and this assistan ce render ed to them not as a matter of favor3 but as a right and duty.

Meeting in Clark County.

Ar meeting of portion of the citizens o Clark county, held in Okolona on the 22d day o February. 1869, w. IT Shackeford vasappointed chairman, and VI NJ. Ande son, secretary.
 The object of the meeting being explained by the chairman the following preamble and resolu tions were offered blythe chaii man, and adopted.
 WHEREAS, The citizens. of Clark county, Ark, will be called upon soon to pay their State and County Taxes. and the deranged state of the com me ca affairs of the country place 1t out of the power of US to do so at this time in consequence Q! .lot having market fer the products ot our labor.
 AND WHEREAS, The taxes when collected are to % to pay the county and State officers their saa es and we deem it not unjust that they wait fer the pay and be placed on an equal footing with the balance of the community, until we can pay our taxes.
 And whereas we are clearly of the opinion that if the homes of the people sacrificed for that purpose, it will greatly affect the energies of the people, and have depressing effect at time when every energy should be simulated to provide means tO support the war.
 1hereforp be t resolued, That the collector Of taxes for Clark county, be requested not to try to enforce the same by exposing our homes for sale, and therebv adding an additional expense upon our present embarrassment, and we pledge ourselves in conjunction with the balance of the citizens of the county to sustain him in his default
 find De t ttlrther resolred, That if our property s sold, that we pledge ourselves to each other that we will protect each in the possession of the same against any if there should be one so destitute of manly feeling for his fellow man and his country at this critical time as to buy our homes.
 And De il turthtr reSOloed, That request every person that can to pay his taxes or much as Ee can, and all as soonas he possibly can do So.
 And be t turtter yeSotued, That we pledge our selves that We will see that no volunteer family shall want for any thing necessary for their support Or protection that we ean command,
 The following was offered by the Hon. II. l., Weir, and adopted.
 Whereas, as the time has come when every man should offer himself and property upon the alter of his puntry's defense, it Is matter of necessity that there shoudbe changein the farming interest of the country.
 Iheretore be hfurther resoUed That no one man shall be allowed to plant more than one acre ot land to each hand in cotton the present year.
 kesOlBed, That no man shall be allowed to ex- torton upon corn or meat purchased for the use of volunteers families.
 ResOioed, That We the citizens of Clark county pledge ourselves to carry out these resolutions, and to guard the interest of the country generally.
 On motion it was ordered that the secretary send q copy of this meeting to the editors of the True Democrat for publication.

.KCApr. THOMAS ". NEwros.--This gentle. man arrived in our city last Friday in charge of the remains of the amented Lieut. Colonel James B. Johnson, and expects so return to duty in a few days. Capt. Newtdn, though a youth several years under age, volunteered fo' the war iu the company raised by Col. Johnson last summer, and was elected the second lieu tenant. He was subsequently promoted to the first lieutenancy and then to the captaincy of the company, the post he now holds. The re- giment to which his company belongs having occupied the advanced position of Gen. Har- dee's division all the time, his fortituSe and en- durance have been subjected to the severest tests. and he comes o,e of it all ranking as an efficient and an able otfider. He has not only won the confidence of his superfs-s, but the warmest affections of his men. EndowcS with 6 dctermned will and an indomtabie courage, we predict that he will yet win an honorable mention in the history of this war, should the opportunity eyer be offered him.

 PLANT CoRN.-A large proportion of our male population and those who chiefly produce the cereals, are in the army. The crops of corn and wheat and other grains will necessarily be short, unless the cotton planters divert the labors of their slaves to the production ot corn, grain and raising of swine and cattle. Too many able bodied negroes are retained as footmen, carriage drivers and house servants. These should be placed in the field to become producers Every bushel of corn that can be raised, will be needed. Remember that corn makes fat hogs, fat cattle and is equal to certain proportion of meat.
 The late disasters to our cause render it certain that the war will be prolonged so that there is no use to plant cotton, or
