A TRUTH CoEFEssED.-W make the fol-

fore the Democratic State Convention by
J. G. Turk. 1t is not often you find so
much truth in a Democratic speech. The
speaker became excited. Rising on tiptoe,
ard permitting bis voice to ascend TO its
most sonorous pitch, he gushingly exclaim-
ed:
"Gentlemen of tho Convention! The
Democratic party has shaped the policy Of
this Government for the last fifty years and,
gentlemen, the great Democratic party Of
which claim to be an humble member,
has naadethe country 'aohat 1t is I"
"Thats so" exclaimed hundred voices
in the rear Of the Hail; and, miraculous as

From GEN. curtis, army.


From the Memphis Bulletin, of the 17'h
We learn from Gen. Osterhaus, who, with
several other officers, arrived here yester-
day from Gen. Curtis army, that the 9TH
regiment of Kansas cavalry had rather
hard time in getting through from RoIla to
Helene, being harrassed by guerrilla bands
nearly ali the way, and having, as the Cen
eral expressed it, to cut their way through
nearly the entire march.
At the crossing of Black river, quite
severe skirmish occurred with a strong force
of rebel cavalry, who, under the command
of a certain Col. johnson, attempted to dis
pute the passage OF the river.
After a short 6ght, however, the Kansas
boys succeeded in forcing their way across
when the rebels fed, carrying with them
their dead and wounded.
It was reported that Col johnson and
sixteen others of the rebels were killed.
The loss Of the Kansas boys was trifing,
none killed, and but few wounded.
We could not ascertain who this Colonel
Johnson was, but it is not unlikely that be
belongs to the somewhat noted Arkansas
family of that name, one Of whose mem
bers is now in the Confederate Congress.
The seamer Golden Era, which reached
here from Helena last evening, brings rs
later intelligence from the army OF General
Curtis.
The entire force has arrived at Helena,
and they are now encamped near the
town.
