The provisions of the new military bill, passed by Congress, allow volunteers to join the army singly, or in numbers. We regard this a wise thought, as very often persons commenced getting up companies, but, finding some difficulty in get ting the requisite number of men, abandoned the enterprise. Now they can go in squads or parts of a company and be formed into companies and re- giments upon their arrival at the place of rendez vOus.

 Of all the Arkansas troops in this war, the regi ment of Col. Rust has borne the most fatieue and suffering. They have been in several battles and acquitted themselves like men. Besides these, there have been months of continual skirmishng, marching and counter marching. The climate in which they were stationed was the most severe in the Confederacy, and for while, they were made quately supplied with blankets and clothing.

4 week or two age, we published an article on the subject of salt and the types played hob with our figures We intended to say that at the estimate of thirty pounds to each person, Arkansas, with population of l2O,Ooo, would require 240 900 bushels ofsat. A friend writes us
 anote, in which he says that he does not think 1t possible each man, woman and child, black and white, consumes, on an average, thirty pounds of salt in year. The estimate appear ed large to us, but then the stubborn figures are before us, showing that from l840 to 1860, the produce of the salt works and the quantity inn ported into the then United States equalled an annual consumption of fifty pounds by each person. This being the case, an estimate of thirty pounds for each person in the South is 9 low one. Arkansas would require l3,500,0O0 pounds, or nearly thirty seven thousand pounds day. Salt, coffee, sugar and like articles, are used constantly and by everybody, and until one examines the subject he has no idea of the vast amount of each article consumed.

FT The following able and patriotic speech

ET The following able and patriotic speech
is particularly commended to that portion Of
Democratic party who affect to think that
slavery has nothing to do with this war, and
who 60 for ''the Union as it was" and, in the
language of leading Democrat of this coun-
ty, wish to see slavery perpetuated five hun
dred years."
We introduce the speech with the COM
ments of the St. Louis Democrat Of the 10th
inst, from which the speech is copied:
On our second page this morning, will be
found the speech of Mr.. Drake, delivered on
Wednesday night at the Court House. Mr.
Drake, as will be seen, addresses himself al
most entirely to the discussion of slavery. AS
the sole cause of the war, he denounces it and
regards its complete destruction and removal
from among the institutions of the country, as
the only safe pathway out of the terrible trou-
bles and commissions which are now atlcteng
the country.
Mr. Drake has often addressed the people of
this city and State on this subject, but has
never, in our opinion, risen so nearly to the
demands of the occasion, as in the speech we
publish this morning As a specimen of fiery
invective and lofty eloquence, we regard it asa
model. As an argument, we look upon it rs
complete and irresistible The manner of its
reception by audiences to whom. it was deliver
shows which way the thoughts and feelings
of the people are tending.
