FROM ARKANSAS,
4 Remarkable Proclamation from the
Governor Of Arkansas.

The army Of The Southwest, marching On
Little Rock under Gen. Curtis, has just been
rc-oreauized. three divisions instead .of four
constituting the new arrangement, command
ed rs follows:
First Division, Brigadier General Frederick
N. Steele;
Second Division, Brigadier General Eugene
4. Carr;
Third Division, Brigadier General r. J. o.
-terhaus.
Little Rock papers Of the sth and 10th Of
May have been received vla Batesyllle, Arkan-
Eas.
GOV. Rector Of Arkansas, on the 5th lust,
issued q long proclamation calling out 4,5oo
men toprotect the State from the Federal 2d-
vance, and to serve twelve months. This pro-
clamation Is q remarkably rich document IN
the strong expressions Eo current in Southern
mauifestoes. In it the Governor 1ntim ates the
possible sloughing of from the dead carcass
Of the Confederate States, for which treason1 l.
BILE sentiment his proclamation is denounced
by the Arkansas State Gazette as compound
Of usurpatfon, treason aud tE2sh.'' That pa,
per directs attention to the production "as a
curiosity" We quote single paragraph:
Uutovard events have placed her {A1kan-
Eas) beyond the pale Of projection; much i'm.
paired, though not incapable Of resistance,
she will strike blow for liberty, and contiu-
ne to be free; if left to her fate she will carge
q new destiny rather than be subIugated. It
was for liberty she struck, and nat for subor-
dinatlon to any created secondary power
North or South. Her best friends are her nat
ural allies, nearest at home, who will pnlsate
when she bleeds, whose utmost hope is not
beycnd her existence. II the arteries OF the
Confederate heart do not permeate beyond
the east bank Of the Mississippi, let Southern
1iissouriane, ArEansiaEs, Texans and the
great West know it and prepare for the future.
Arkansas lost, abandoned, subjugated, is not
Arkansas as she entered the Confederate Gov.
eminent. Nor will she remain Arkansas 2
Confederate State, desolated as wilderness
her children fleeing from the wrath to come
will build them q new ark and launch It. or
new waters, seeking haven somewhere, O
my eonntrymcn, there is still balm in Gil
cad, the good Samaritan will be found. Strik
cow and ever for your homes and liberty
against all men who invade the one or disput
the other. The despodc power Of the North
which seeks now to crush yon, contains in it
own creation ripe seeds for its carly destrus
ton"
The Little Rock True Democrat, referring
the proclamation, says:
ain less peri'ous times We 6hould commer
upon this production more at length, but
tits, let pass now by entering our earne:
and most solemn protest against certain fe
tuTeE IN it.

4 dispatch from Evansville to the CincIu-
natl Gazette says that the car which caused
the collision at Sullivan in this State, By which
Prof. Fletcher was killed, was placed on the
track by q man who has been arrested and
confessed the crime duplicating several ac-
complies. We learn from other sources that
the evidence is almost conclusive that the
collision was premeditated act, and that the
parties concerned in causing it are known.
No one can Elil to see who was meant to
he the victim, and whence eu,anated the mo-
tive. Gov. Morton WIS known all along the
route, as We have learned since, to be on
board that train. It wss known at Sullivan
through passengers on the preceding train.
Sullivan is aud has been nest Of the most
violent rebel sympathizers. Union men have
been lynched there. Uhion sentiments have
been snppressd by violence, aud more than
once it has been seriously considered by the
State authorities whether an armed force
would not be necessary to protect the loyal
citizens. For weeks after the attack on Fart

Correspondence N. i. Herald1
Forty-four men Of Col. SerreWs engineer
regiment were yesterday sent to Key West and
the Dry Iortugaa for mutinous behavior. For
several weeks Past--oWing to the refusal Of tho
Pa5master's department to recognize the reg
1ment as eng1neers-a spirit Of insubordination
hae manifested itself among the men and cnl-
minated few days since IN what the guilty
soldiers and their sympathizlng comrades
more nor less than open mutiny. AZ your
readers arc probably aware, Col serrelps reg
iment has been doing duty for nearly seven
months, without having received, during
that time, a single cent Of pay. This
has been, think, partially the fault Of
neglected TO provide for this Important branch
of the service, and partially TINT Of the
men themselves, who, having been mustered
into the service as engineers, have steadily
and uniformly refused to prejudice their
claims as such by receiving their pay ~ in
fantry, which the department has al al times
been willing to accord to them. This state
Of things has resulted in deep aud almost uni-
versA distress among the families of the vol
unteers, the greater part Of whom left relnn-
nerative situations to serve their country in
the most useful and honorable capacity open
to them.
Having been eo long without funds, :.num-
ber Of men, whose families we're suffering
most keeuly, uudert ook to bring the Govern
ment to terms by layirg down their arms and
refusing to serve until they were recognized
and paid as engineers In vain Col. Serreu ap-
pealed to them to reconsider their determina-
tion and return to duty ; in vain The command
ing General portrayed the disastrous conse-
quences, both to themselves and to their fam
lies, which their insubordination involved !;

The season Is drawing to- a close: Importers
and all wholesale houses who do not hrcak bulk
are doing little their Gales being confined to Sc

good prfCee. Jobbers still do fair trade. but do
not replace their salee, being gery cautious to
avoid heavy stocks at the close Of the eeasoR-
Domestic cottons are very unsettled. The pros
Weakcns the prices Of ali manufactured goods.
The ger eral trade In prints is very light. Afew
choice styles only are selling. Sprngue new styles
principally command the market. Brown sheetlngs
and ah1rttngs are dull. without, however, any I'M
due tupplyt but bleached are more abundant, and
consequently much weaker in price In woolen
goods the lighter fabrics Of fancy cassimeres and

rather active. ALI seaeonsble goods are wanted.
The supply is very light both of fancy ard plaIa
