DlsrITuTloa MFAsKANsAs.-A reconnoisance
from Helena to Napoleon, Ark; few days
since, revealed fearful condition Of the resi-
dents thereabouts.s Famine is gnawing At the
vitals,of the people, and scenes of wretched-
ness iares everywhere met which, until seen, are
scarcely conceivable. Throughout Mississippi,
Arkansas and Louisiana the ordinary comforts
Of life are scarcely obtainable by any, while
Injuries are never thought Of. At Little Rock,
the capital of Arkansas, two officers, who went
there under Gag Of truce, were unable to OBJ
tain anything, at the best hotel, but corn bread,

Of tea. p Whist will they do in that region when
winter comes to add to the mieeries of famine,
the need Of comfortable clothing! Of,a truth,
they will be apt TO exclaim, ."Our punishment is

cost less than $4,000, and was paid out of the

$250O0 year salary, which he is at liberty to

We notice that there are a few papers that have
professed to be Republican in principle, and that
supported that party up to the formation of the
Union party, that have lately become all at once
remarkably conservative" Although they
have for years preached the most radical doc
trines, and maintained that the Constitution was
intended to establish and propagate freedom,
they can nov. see nothing in that instrument but
a protection to rebel holders. II any one
advocates the propriety Ito say nothing about
the humanity Of relieving the seceeded States
of slavery, they point you to the Constitution
and squeak out that the war must be carried on
in accordance with its provisions. The Uaion
must be re-established under the Constitution
say they. The Constitution is every thing for
the negro-drivers, but of no account to the Sla-
very-hating freemen. Il is all right that the
freemeH OF the North may be called from their
homes and peaceful pursuits to put down this
shareholders rebellion. 1t is all right that our
soldiers may lie in the camp and scken and die.
1t is all right that they may lapguish in the
~black holes" and jails Of the South. 1t is all
rightthat the loyal people Of the Union pay
two million and a half Of dollars day to carry
on the war. It.is all right that every thing the
Northbuys is greatly enhanced in price. while
every thing it has 10 sell is deprecated in value
1t is all right that business Of all kinds Ian
guishes among us. Ii is all right that thousands
of hearths have been made desolate, aud that
the moumefs go about the streets. This is all
Constitutional but let the philanthropist OF
