Lille Rock, Arh., May 3l, 1862. To THE SOLDIERS AND
 CITIZENS OF THE DISTRICT:
 1 have come here to drive out the invader or to perish in the attempt. TO achieve success, it is essential that the soldier and the citizen, each, shall do hls whole duty. sa In the army discipline must prevail unex- ceed among the troops of any government every officer executing the orders given him with promptness, fidelity and courage-every soldier obeying the orders he receives, without question and without murmur whatever the hardshps involved. In one word, there must be eficicncy among officers of every rank, and 0bedience among soldiers, under all circumstaa- ces.
 Among citizens determination must be evinced to contribute to the armys support even to the last dollar which they possess; to adhere to the Confederate cause, under every difficulty; to sustain the Confederate currency; to crush out the spirit Of extortion and specu~ lation; and to sacrifice, for freedoms sake, all property valuable to the enemy, which may by possibility fall into. his hands.
 My purpose is to assume every responsibility necessary in the premises-relying upon the Arbiter of Nations, and the earnest and active support of every patriot

TEXAS DRAGooNs.-Ths splendid body of cay airy, under the command of Col. Parsons, has been near the city for some few days past. Under the general order, calling all the troops across the Ms sissippi, portion of this regiment proceeded to Memphis, t3 which place their Colonel had gone in advance to make the necessary arrangements for their transportation to Corin,h. Before, however, the second division had reached Memphis, the der was changed, and the. advance corps ordered back to Little Rock. Hence, it was that Col. Pr sons was not present, ia ropra persona at the fight near Se-rcy.
 This regiment is composed of able bodied, rep resentAtive men, from the best portions of Texas
 men of energy, bravery and perseverance. The gallant Co., Parsons is true exponent Of such men, and his re election under the late act of Con gress fully attests his popularity and the apprecia- ton ot his men. He was re elected by accIama- ton, and with shout that echoed for miles down the valley.
 We cheerlully accord to the Colonel the honor of having the best drilled cavalry regiment in the servce-the result of patient, perseveIing labor on the part of their commander, who adds to his pro gFeSSIVe FOHlptHteo anu dtCsIOH OI CHdrdCltI, ueI enough of red-tape ism to render him. in our esti nation, the type of the man for the times.
 Under the reorganization, Col. Parsons was re elected, Col. A. B. Burleson elected Lieut.. Col and L. L. Farrar, Major. The Lieut. Col. and Major under the old organization resigned refusing q reelection. We predict high place on the roll of fame for this body of men, and that right soon, unless the signs of the times deceive us hadlv

MORGAN "TuRNED rr" Ar CLAEKsvJLLE.- Notwithstanding the federal accounts of Col. Morgan's defeat and death near Lebanon, some two weeks siaca we learn through gentleman who arrived in the city from Clarksrille on yescr~ day, that this ubiquitous individual made his ap' pearance at that place Oh Wednesday, the l4th inst, and succeeded in surprising and capturing the whole garrison ofthe enemy stationed there, consisting of 200 cavalry and 400 niantry.- The latter belonged to the 7lst Ohio regiment, who dsgraced themselves by dropping their guns and fleeing in panic stricken disorder from thes field of Shiloh, without firing round.
 The last that was heari of Morgan previous to this exploit, according to the St. Louis Repudljcan of the 18th, was, that he had stop ped train of cars at Woodland about ninety miles above Nashville cn rontc for Louisville, which he is reported as having destroyed by burning. Both of these daring acts are sand to have been achieved with only between three and four hundred men. We hope to hear of the gallant MORGAN elsewhere very soon.- Appeal, Nay 20.

Gen. T. J. acksOn is now the great hero of the war. The first to achieve decisive victory, he is also the first to follow it up and invade the enc my's country. His career, from the beginning, has been one series of successes. Always upon the march, and constantly protering battle to the enc n.y. he has been advancing at all times or, if occa- sionaly falling back, he has only done so to strike some more terrible and effective blow. Among the great heroes Of the war, he stands the greatest of them all
 His more recent career has been one of uninter- rupted triumphs. He met and whipped the enemy at Front Royal, on the 23d, pursued and defeated them again near Srasburg on the 2lth, and again on the 25th, at Winchester, at which latter place he completely routed and destroyed the entire army under Gen. Banks. Still continuing the pur suit, he overlook the fugitives with their plunder at Martinsb,rg, near the Potomac, and captured large quantities of medical, ordnance and com missary stores, enough to completely equip and subsst his army in it's advance into the enemy country. Losing no time, he then crossed the Po tomac with his army, much strengthened by large endorsements sent him by Gen. Johnston, after his victory at Winchester, and at last accounts, he was in Maryland, threatening Washington City, without any foe to oppose him.
 Having cleared all northeastern Virginia of the enemy and destroyed the Baltimore and Ohio rail road he is now in Maryland, with his communica tion open in the rear and with friends in front to welcome his advance. We may be too sanguine, tut nevertheless it is our firm belief that Washing ton City, and perhaps Baltmore will speedily fall into his hands. Maryland will be redeemed and disenthralled and will soon appear a star to grace the southern flag All hail to the gallant Jackson. Recorded honors shall gather around and thicken over him."

 Sir: The officers ana men, without one single exception wishes to express, through your valuable paper, our regret at losing Lieut.. Col. John ". Mullen from our command. He refused to De a entire command. His election would have been by exclamation, not des1nting voice. Ills reason for declining is sufficient excuse, the conscript law will take his son, and leave his family and his sons family alone. We give him up with rcluc- tance. He has been with the regiment from the start, and has been looked on, both by officers and men, as the father of the regiment. A thorough drilled officer in infantry tactics, familiar with all the complication of guard duty, and all the duties of tic officers, and the soldiers, having served du- ring the war with Mexico, and having been in sew eral engagements, which gave us great confidence in lis judgment and co0lness under fire Of tue ene- my, which a lacking in great many oiiicels.- He is unassum.ng, familiar Ii conversation, on the Gen.

Duly considering the large population Of Mis souri, it is truly mortif ing to reflect how few of that population are fighting under our banner, and still more moliifying when we reflect what large proportion Of them are under arms iii the army oi Lincoln, for the purpose of subugatng tie south ern people, However We are proud and thankful that 90 many of the Missourians are with us and fighting for the just and righteous cause of south ern independence Now and then, wherever and whenever an opportunity presents itself, these brave and patriotic do good and cttectual work. We are informed that a small force of them, dur ing last week, captured and destroyed 3G0 400 wagons and tter contents lip about Springfield. The wagons were loaded with commissary stores destined to supply the federal troops stationed at Ketsyile and other points adjacent. It is said that the " feds' have placed 800 or 100 soldiers at each county seat in that portion of the State. Let these hireling scoundres be driven from south ern soil, or let them fill early graves therein May the God of battles hasten the time when one Of the two things may be et'ectually accomplished.- Fort SmiM Relietin, M9g 27.

We are in five miles of the rebel army, two miles of the pckets. As we came by Cairo there was fifteen of our com pany deserted; Captain Mays went back to see if he could hear of them but could not while he was gone six more left, and they are desertng from other companies Of regiment continually. William Hardin, Saml. Harksider, Thomas Abr, George Williams, John Stegall and Tom Flint, are among the deserteb, which you are acquainted with. The North, or the Union, m " talk of sub jugating the South, but when it is done the North will be draped in mourning, and tell you just so sure as God made the world, if congress don't make peace before three months, the soldiers of this army will make peace for them by going home. kI ow it would be bad to desert.
