BLANKETS AND CLOTHING FOR OUR SoLD1rRs- Initiating the self-sacrifcng spirit Of the Roman matrons who stripped themselves of their dearly prized jewels, and cast them into the public treasury when the exigencies of their country required such aid the ladies of this city have noby resolved to sur render. for the use of the brave defenders of our homes and liberties not merely articles of ornament but such as have hitherto been regarded indispen- sablv necessary to secure domestic comfort. Not sat isfed with simply devotng their time aid energies to the task of fabricating clothing for the troops in the feld they have determined to take up the fine carpets covering the floors of their dwellings convert them into blankets and distribute them among the soldiers who will ere long, require such protection against the piercing winds of the winter season.
 Will not the ladies throughout this State Louisia- m and Texas, emulate the eXanpe of their sisters of Little Rocka We are sure they will do so with alacritv, for woman has ever been lound capable of performing acts of sefdevotion to the cause of God. of her native land or of her family. Feeling assured that they will, one and all answer promptly the demand now being made for clothing and blank cts for the army, have appeal to make to their generosity their patriotism but will rest content with stating that the contributions of each neighbour hood should be carefully packed together and for warded to this city, to of Maj. Jno B. Burton, Chief of Army Clothing, Bureau of tho Trans Mis- sssippi Department.

A SPECIAL FRovIDENcE.-It is asserted that the Conv enton. in adopting the constitution, did not intend to abridge the term of the governor. lthis be so, it would seem that God put it in the hearts ofthe members to adopt the clause in the schedule which shortens his term, and which was adopted unanimously. The same kind Providence that presdes over the destinies of States as we'll as the fall of sparrow, interposed His arm to save Ar kansas from utter ruin.
 If the present incumbent could be reelected, our State will be forever ruined, financially, po lticaly and morally. Four years more of such nsrule will sink herso low tha: will take century to restore her. People of Arkansas, we address you not as politicians; not to gratify hatred or spite, for we hope we have laid all such feelings aside, but citizen having common interests with you, as lover of the country and as sent- nel on the watch tower of your liberties. We tell you that the coming election is the most important one ever held in Arkansas. If you will improve the opportunity good God has placed before you, you may yet redeem the State. If you fail to do this and permit our destnes to remain ill the hands they now are, ruin, disgrace and shame awaits us all. For your country's sake ponder these things well, and vote to save the State.

To the People of the Cherokee Nation in
 Convention assembled.

One year ago, the 2lst inst, the Cherokee peo- pie met in general convention at this place, and resolved to unite their destnies for veal for woe with the Confederate States, then in the commence ment of struggle for the right of self government
 It is true that the constituted authorities of the Cherokee Nation, as they then existed, had refused the most generous offers of the accredited commis soner of the Confederate States; and had frowned upon the first expression of southern sympathy, and the first attempt to aid the Southern cause.- It is also true, that the important change in the views of our rulers at that time, occurred while the shouts of victory were echoing on the plains of Manassas, and at Oak Hill, confirming the waver- ing, and satisfying the doubtful of the ability of the Southern people to maintain their liberties and in- dependence.
 But the act of that convention was the voice of the people; so understood, and so acted upon. In accordance with it's mandates treaty was made with the commissioner of the Confederate States, which was in due time ratified by the Confederate government and the national council of the Chero- kee Nation.
 Before that date, the lamented Gen1 Ben. Me Culloch had authorized the raising of 8 regiment among that portion of the Cherokees, who had from the first given evidence of their attachment to southern interests force, then but imper- fectly organized, had been operating against Kan sas marauders in the Neutral Land in addition to this force the national authorities raised large regiment, appointed it's officers, and with great enthusiasm pledged eternal fidelity to the South ern cause.

uJ A prominent trait in the character of Col Flanagan IS his calmness and self-pessession. Had ne been governor when the federals were on White river, we should have had no such disgracef,, s;obt as tie hesiFa ot certain state offices, by order of the Governor, The State would have been saved the vast expense, and the shame of seeing oo,-- ernment fleeing when no one pursued The very women and children of Little Rock cried ( sbanoe,, to see the authorities abandoning the capital, in viting invasion by showing our weakness, and do. serting them.
 We want governor who does not take biz scares, who will not put the State to enormous ex pense, desert his post, or run away when danger comes within fifty miles. I

Questions Answered.

, The editor of the Pine Bluff War Bulletin IS de- cidedy smartin his way, and ill his own estimation. Like many of his class he is fond of exhibiting his snartness by asking questions. It is favoritemode of argument with Abe Lincoln land is often practioed by small politicians. They put question, then pucker up their mouths and attempt to look wise.- We will endeavor to two three of his qucs tions. though some of them can only be answered after investigation by the legislative committee, to be appointed for that purpose.
 Abiding to the vast amounts spent by Rector, the Bulletin asks; What could have spentless nnder ithe same circumstances! To this answer, that anv prudent, patriotic man could have done better and not spent onc-third Of the amount now gone.
 Thcnextquestion is: What d;d he spend this money forq There he gets us It will take close nve.tga- ton to find where it all went 10. We can give the Bulletin some items, to-wit; fine carpets, damask window curtains match horses. a fine buggy, to say nothing of extraordinary services by extraordinary individuals
 The third question is: Was not portion of it for the State troops? We answer yes, especially militia officers. While men were taken from their fields in planting tno and paid two or three dollars officers drew sevcnty-fve. Decidedly the State troops got good portion especially the officers who are kept in to this day.
 The next interogatoy is: Did he not use the funds according to the instructions of tho legislature! Mo- Appropriations without any definite or restricted amount, not supposed CT intended to exceed few hundred dollars year to maintain militia system in time of peace, were construed so as to give tie executive the control of tho tfessuy. The contin- gent fund, the swamp land fnnd and every other fund under his control, were made use of. The conven- ton attempted to check this by searing him of power and placing expenditures for military purposes under the control of Military Board, but he refused to acknowledge the power of the convention, claimed to be vet commandorin- in-chief and went on in the same course The legislature next tried to stop this OVERWHELMING. They abolished all militia offices and established 3 new"system. To carry into effect the new system, they appropriated a sun of money in q separate bill. Rector pocketed the militia bill and approved the appropriation, thrs defeating the nten- ton of tho legislature and getting more money to maintain the old systeIa.
 But enough. These things will All be enQuired into in due time, and we hope the next General As smbiv will cause the facts to be laid before the peo pe so that all anxious enquirer, like the Bulletin
 may not have to ask many questions, and tbat the people may find out whther their money has fed

LET us HAVE A FAIR CANvAss.-In these times no an should be voted for whose views not known; and candidate for tlo Legislature should be voted for whose position is not defined in the gov nors election; for we think to sustain the present dynasty would be to nfict the greatest of curses upon the State. Have the candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives. n this senatorial dis trict defined their positions in regard to the goyer nor's election: The senatorial candidates in this county are both supporters of Col. Flanagn. We have not heard that Mr. CAN'T, of Prairie county, another candidate for the Senate in this district has taken any position in the governors election. He is supported here by some of Rectors few friends. lii Prairie county we learn that he is running on the sectional question of county against the ether, regardless of the governors election, any other question of public interest. We hope Nr. CAN'T may define his position to whether or not, if cleo ted he win support the policy of Gov Rectors ad- ministratCn.

The Situation.

We have reliable information from Maryland up to the 10th; from Kentucky to the same date, and from Tennessee to about the Sth.
 On the 8th, the Maryland line took possess sion of Frederick city, in Maryland, and had advanced to the railroad junction on the next day. The army in that portion of the state was set down at l5,00O. Stonewal Jackson was at Hagerstown on the 9th with Q force yariously estimated at from ten to forty thou sand. We have rumors of his being near Bal timore; of his having had battle; of his ad- vancing towards Pennsylvania, and other re- ports, which may or may not be true.
 Up to the 18th the federals had possession of ArlInqton heights, of Alexandria and Wash ington. The Potomac was filled with federal gunboats. Kirby SIuith had brush with the federals back of Covington, Ky, on the 7th, and took possession of Newport and Covington on the 9th. We suppose that he can shell Cincinnati at any time circumstances may make 1t necessary.
 Buckner and Morgan were in southwestern Kentucky, and said to be marching up towards Louisville. Humphrey Marshall was said to be coming down Big Sandy to support Smith. Price left Tupelo over a week ago, and we have rumors of his being in the rear of Memphis. Bragg is reported at Bolivar and Breckinridge is said to be joining him. Beauregard has been assigned to command at Charleston. There is good reason to believe that there are at Carde- nas, at the Bahama and perhaps, in the Gulf, three, if not more Confederate war vessels.
 In our own state, it is again reported that the feds have leftHeleua. Whether is "for good" or only as blind, no one can tell.

PERsEcUrloN-This worn out-cry of effetq roi- ticians is now used with great effect. The noto- rous Brownlow travelled all over the North ma king speeches, telling how he was pcrsecuted. He has written book filled with marvellous stories of wrongs inflicted and begot sqch false sympathy that he has made large fortune by the sale of his book. Fishbaca tells at Helena and elsewhere . long story of how he was perseeuted by the secesh Of Fort Smith. When . man wants to hde bad deed. or misgovernmcnt he complains of being pelsecrted. When ! man comes before the people asking office on the ground that he was persecptcd the people should remember that it is an endeavol to turn the attention of the people from facts and get up an undeserved sympathy.

 FpfESp YEgKEs-The Missouri Republican of the 8th Sept, acknowledges another terrible de feat on the plains of Manassas. It says the fede- ral army is utterly demoralized, and that Stonewal Jackson is in possession of Frederick City, Mary land.
 It also says that after the rout of the fedorals, Gen. Stuart, of the c. s. A., telegraphed to the ordnance department at Washington to send, ,lmme- diately, commissary stores, tents and ammunition down from Washington--that he signed the dis hatch iu federal officers name and that they were sent immediately, and that immense amounts oi federal stores fell into our hands.

,.T3" The friends of the present executive are trting to rally to his support, all the odds and ends of old factions. The Ouachita Herald, which has become the family organ," tried to damage Flanagan among whigs by showing that democrats supported him, and among the democrats by say ing that wings had called him out. It now with i'll concealed spleen, in the hope that old preiudices may be aroused, appeals to the Know Nothing feel ing and tries to beget opposition to Col. Flanagn, by asserting that he IS aD Irshman. The Herald says:
 ."The enemies of Judge Flanagin insist that he is {" Northern man by birth.'' But this is a mis- take. His patronymic is O'Flanagin and his de- scent directly from the original Patrick O'Flanagin of Derry, county COnnaught Ould Ireland" where all his ancestors were born and died before hiul in the good old days when the shamrock hung in vaFa's halls, and her harps strucl; the wild an them of '' Erin go Bragh' The Patrick O'Flana- gin of whom Harris is descended, is said to have been the same who figured so copspicuous at the celebrated Fair of Kilkenny" on which occa- sion he is said to have invented a new twist of the shilalah which cost six of his neighbors broken nodde piece, and resulted in the incarceration of Patrick and his subsequent banishment to Ameriky, where, on his arrival, he dropped the O. and took up 8 more quiet and peaceable life.
 For fear our readers should not be apprised of the fact state that this is intended for wit and the laugh comes in at the close of the extract- MT. Flanagin may be of Irish descent, but is native of the South. Even if he hxl been born in Ireland, the land of Emmett and Tone, it would be no disgrace to him. Would it, Irishmen? The trick will not win. It will not gain the vote of sensible man, and only produce disgust by visi- bIe attempt to pander to dead and buried preju- dice -L

EvrRY MAN nEs OWN TANNER.-We give an eN- tract from letter from friend in Franklin county which contains piece of information that may be valuable in these war times:
 |'T This morning q conversation sprung np about the scarcity Of shoes and leather. Mr. McCanthlin an old and esteemed citizen, stated that some time since, lis boys who were in the army, wrote to him that they wanted shoes Having some hides, he took then boiled some oak bark and poured the ooze or decoction over the hides while it was yct milk This tub he kept in the for eight days, renewing the oak water or ooze once in that time. Of this leather he made shoes for his sons and airtor him self, which he showed me The lcather was aS plant and felt as soft and tough as any country tanned leather have for years. am sati-fed that any energetic man can thus make leather sufficient for all his wants.n B.

ANOTHER Towv DEsrRoyEb.-We learn from friend who resides at Napoleon, that he witnessed the burning of the town of Prentiss, on the Miss ississipp, opposite Napoleon one day last week It appears that three federal soldiers were killed in the vicinity, and the yankees came up with gun boats shel!el the town for hours, but failed to de- stroy it. They then went ashore with torches and fired it. The place is now complete ruin. The behaviour of the women is said to have been re- markedly courageous While the shells were fly ing they remained in the town and when the ruff fans landed with the torches, the women stood by, rowling them for their cowardice. l
