PAPER.-The stock Of writing paper in our
town is entirely exhausted. There is not a
sh eet for sale. We have used up all the sup
ply of our editorial office, ami invaded our
stock of law statione ry. At length we have
destroyed all our legal blanks by writing edi-
torals ON their backs and We now use the
yellow ruled leaves, we have torn from an old
ledger Our subscribers who pay us deserve
all this trouble on their account. They stand
by us and we ought to work for them any way,
in this crisis wlen news is so important. But
those who use up our material after that fash
ion, and 'go their way rejoicing" with the
subscription price in their pockets ought to be
ashamed of themselves. That's it.
BY keeping our stock of printing paper
clio sely husbanded, and restricting our edition
only to those who have the grace of God to
pay for it and by not throwing away sheets for
nothing, which those who pay for them may
want hereafter; we will not stop. We have d
good stock on hand, and it will go hard if by
hook or crook we do not manage for more.

The withdrawal of so many Federal forces has
left the citizens more to their own proclivities,

BY Our readers are warned against placing
implicit reliance upon rumors, even VIXEN pub
lshed by us without comment. The country
is full of floating ones which We do not feel at
liberty to altogether vi hhold. They might turn
out true, and be known to all the world before
they come to our subscribers. Hence we will
continue to publish such as seem worthy Of
any attention leaving it to our readers to ex-
ercise as much salutary doubt as they may
think fit When We have a strong faith in il
ourselves We will so express it, without calling
in the "reliatle gentleman Stage loads OF
"reliable gentlemen might frequently be
better characterized by dropping the ore ,
For instance they are liable to be gulled, and
sometimes liable to go further and drop the

For which execrable pun we plead only
scarcity of news: and as we seldom sin in
this wise hope to be forgiven. Upon our honor
We never intended it W hen we commenced.

CAPT. REEFS CoHPA NY.-There was a re-
organization of this excellent partzan company
last Monday, when the following officers were
elected A. Y. Rieff, Captain W. B. Stuart,
1st Lieut. J. S. Burt, I'd Lieut.; G. ". Smith,
Jr. I'd Lieut., and L. W. Alexander, Orderly
Sergeant. The high reputation of Capt. Reiff
and the well known character of the other
officers, is sufficient guarantee that this is a
company which will not fail of distinction.
They will be off for the scene of action with
all despatch. The Captain is an old fighter
but young in appearance. The enemy has
heard of kim. Come on with good horse, a
good gun, and a good man at the breach of it,
SKIRslIsH on LITTLE RED RIvER,-Our latest
intelligence from Little Rock comes through
Hon. C. B. Mitchell and A. n. Johnson, Esq.
who left there Tuesday, 20th. The mails have
entirely failed since Monday the 10Th, ON ac-
Seount of high water.
Before these gentlemen left the city, official
report was received of a skirmish at Little Red
River, few miles beyond Searcy, and about
sixty miles from Little Rock. Two companies
of our cavalry Hicks Arkansas company and
the ''Ellis Blues of Parsons Texas Regiment
met foraging party of the enemy, consisting
Of about 500. Our troops made the attack,
and, it was said, killed all the infantry and
completely routed the cavalry. Our loss was
three killed and Eve wounded. This comes in
a way to be worthy of credit although details
may be altered by subsequent accounts
Enemys loss in killed, about rs.
Gentlemen who had reached Little Rock from
Batesyile report that twelve regiments of the
enemy had returned, and it was presumed in

Parental Indulgence.

We do not know who is the author of
the following sound and excellent ad
vice to parents, but it is worthy to be
read, remembered, and practised in eve
ry family ..a"3J -t
No children ara ever so happy as
those who have been early taught i'm
plicit and immediate obedience to a pa
reut's wishes or will or commands s.
Would that parents more universally
felt that when they suffer their children
to disobey them, they are absolutely
teaching them to sin against God, by
breaking one Of his commandments,
and one to which the promise of long
life is given. No wonder if God, in just
displeasure, remove the child from its
tuition. Remember what a solemn and
Instructive lesson the Holy Book has
given in the history of Eli. e -
There is much danger, from an amia-
BILE wish to crafty child, Of counter
ordering our own orders. If you once
direct child to do thing, however
unpleasant it may be to yourself or the
child, insist with frmness upon immo.
diate and full obedience. There should
be no demur or delay.
Prompt obedience is as lovely in a
child, as its enforcement is diguifed in
parent. The firm and gentle con
straint of tai authority commands
respect, and even inspires reverence and
love in the child toward the parent
Thus, then, if you desire your children
should grow up, cherishing for you pro-
found esteem and affection, insist upon
this hlial duty-the duty Of implicit
Obedience-and commence early TC
begin right is the way to end right.

they pass to their pleasure or their work.

Thus shall we all now in active hfeIpass

Lieutenant Maury has been writing
a letter to England about the war, in
which he says:
The CAUSE OF TIE WAR.--The negro
is not, as the Yankee would believe, the
cause or object Of the war. The tariff
and hatred Of the Yankee character
these are the true causes. They are a
nation of shopkeepers and peddlers; and
under protext of raising revenue to
maintain the government, Southern in
dustry was taxed to support Yankee
workshops. With this they waved fat
and grew insolent, until their insolence
became unbearable.

BY WILLIAM WINTER.
The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.
At tho cottage door the grsndsiro
sits pale in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind at twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him;
A fair young head Is pressed
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
Aud far from over the distance
The falicring echoes come,
OF the flying blast Of trumpet
And the rafting roll Of drum.
Aud the grandsire speaks in a whisper
1.-THE end no man can see
But we give him to MS COUNTRY,
Aud we give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The tose-buds fringe the door,
And over tho grassy orchard
The pnk-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty
The cottage is dark and still;
There's n namooss grave in the battlefield,
And new one under the hill.
And psllid, fearless woman
by the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steady dronc.
