HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.-To es- cape from the logical consequences of Rector s proclamation to cut loose from the Confederacy he says and his friends say, that it led to the Confederacy adopting measures for the defence of Arkansas. They endeavor to make the peo- pie believe that the State was saved from fur ther invasion, by Rectors reasonable procla- nation alarming the authorities at Richmond Now look at the facts. The proclamation was issued about the 8th of May. Before that time a general had been ordered here; troops from Texas were on the march for this point; a new department had been created and Major Gen. selected to make his headquartersi in Arkansas. The whole force west of the Mississippi was to be concentrated here.
 We owe this to our delegation in Congress, who insisted upon 1t, lasored for it and who would have done more and sooner had their efforts been properly seconded. Had vigor- ous and hearty cooperation been given to the Confederate generals, and their calls for troops not interfered with, the battle ofElk Horn would have been decided victory; Curtis would never have entered our State and the suferings of our citizens in North Arkansas would have been unfelt Long before the famous proclamation was issued, the arteries of the Confederate heart' did "pernseate beyond the east bank of the Mississippi and measures were taken to defend the capital of Arkansas, from which the Governor was preparing to flee, and which he did abandon, when the enemy was not within fifty miles.

Since the above was written, We have received later dispatches, which will be found in the appro priate column. It will be seen that the battle of Sharpsburg was Confederate victory, our forces held the battle field. We received large bundle of federal papers, of late dates, and in reading the telegraphic dispatches, the blowing, exulting and bragging, we were alarmed until the facts came. The truth is that another such victory will ruin Mcclellan.

For the True Democrat Gen. Curtis, of the U. s. army, having published a card denying that he or his army molosted private property in passing through Monroe county, Arkan- sas-ard also, denying that he despoied the MasonF Lodge in Clarendon-we therefore, citizens of saiil county feeling scnsibly the outrage that perpd rated upon the inhabitants feel that it is but sd cred duty that we owe to truth and humanity, thIt he should be hell up to the world in his true charae ter First then, upon his arrival in Clarendon he took up his head quarters in the residence of Maj Jas T. Harris, dcscased-the house being occupied by the majors family, and that of his son, Capt. C. Harris, thus forcing himself an unwelcomed guest upon said mly-using the household and kitchen furniture and feeding himself and staff upon the sup plies that had been left for sUstenance of these fam lies and when he left the place Maj. Harris carriage and horses were driven into the front yard and four negro wenches placed ill the carriage a white man upon the box, and thus drove off to the army. He directed or permitted every horse and mule to be taken off said plantation-every pound of bacon and every car of corn-all the table that they could place their hands ponand in fact every thing else that Yankee cunning or cHpdity could fancy would be of service to them or the loss annoying to the owners; and this is the manner in which every per son .nan or woman faTed who Wereso unfortunate as to be visited by them. They set fire to and burned to the ground Il house in Clarendon belonging to . widow lady (Mrs McWilliams) after having first plundercd it. They broke open the dry good houses in Clarendon and carried off or destroyed every thing they contained. He either directed or permitted his men to force open the Masonic Lodge and remove therefrom the jewels, books, charter and papers be- longing to the same The jewels were tied to the horses bides ornaments, and the leaves cut from the Holy Bible belonging to the lodge> He directed or permitted his men to enter the county md circuit court clerk office and destroyed every paper and cord that they could possibly lay their hands upon His men went into the front yard of widow lady (having grown danghters) and made a disgracefu exhibition of thoir persons Six eight of his went to the residence of respectable lady the widow of true southern soldier, who died in the service, and attempted to commit an outrage upon her per- son. and were only deerred from carrying into execu tion thelr diaboliea intentions, by her drawing re- peter and firing upon them. These are but few of the outrages that committed upon peaceful in- habtants of our country.
 If the truth of these statements questioned they can be substantially proven by more than one thou sand witnesses. H. D. GREEN,

Flanagin will be elected, will accept the office and will be inaugurated Governor of Ar kansas. new dodge of his opponents is to as sert that he will not accept if elected Because he will not stoop to electioneer, to go about beg gng votes or quaTeling with those who oppose him. but bares his breast to the foe, and fights for the glorious stars and bars, the people may never theless rest assured that there is post of duty to which he may be called in which he is not pre- pared to do his whole duty.

LOOK Our.-We are told that the Rectorites have private handbis or circulars which they show to persons and then take them back. What is in them, we have no means of judging. They look out for "soft snap" and when they think they have found an ignorant or credulous voter read one of these circulars to him. We warn the people to put no faith in any statement in any private or secret paper It is an insult to offer to lend or read one tO a man. L

 Last summer it was asserted that Jerry Clemens had gone over to the feds, but the assertion was bitterly denied. It is certain that he was thick with the federal officers, at Huntsville, and now it appears, he left with the federal army. Sib Davis, who was, for some time colonel in the southern army, also fshbacked Let them go If the feds can make anything by them, it is more than the South could.
 We had the pleasure last week. of taking by the hand, Col James H. Hobbs of Benton county, and his brother Doctor Hobbs The Col has re- signed his command, his health being so bad that he could not attend to the duties of his position He tells us that, when he crossed the Mississippi there was federal boat on this side, being laden with cotton. They had obtained $50 bales from one plantation. By some, it was said that the owner had sold it to them; by others, that he had it hid out, and the yankees got wind of it and stole it. We hope the latter story is true, and the owner deserves to lose his cotton for endeavoring to hide it while others burnt their entire crops
