fairs in Arkansas.

.rNaiGen Hindman arrived in this city on last Saturday, and at once assumed command of all the forces in the State His orders will be found in to-day's issue, and should be read by every cti- zen. Affairs begin to wear more cheerful aspect. Troops continue to arrive both Texans and Ar kansians Texas and Arkansas alone will have to meet Gen. Curtis, and they are more than e9uaito the task In very few days we shall have very formidable army, well proyisloned, armed and eouipr ei Several thousand troops have already crossed the river at this point, several thousand are now cncamped around the city, and more are on the way. Col. Nelson,s~ Texas infantry regiment arrived yesterday,> and are encamped upon the southern roadE Nearly enough Arkansas compa- nies havsscome in to make a new regiment, and enough are en route to form several regiments more.
 Gun boats are upon the White and Arkansas rivers in sufficient force prevent endorsements to Curtis, in the event of the fail of Memphis and the opening of the Mississippi river to the enemy. The gun boat Pontchartran. Capt. Dunnington, now lies ancfored off this city, with very formidable armament aboard.
 We can hear nothing definite of the federals on White and Red rivers. They are supposed to be in force on the other side of Little Red. They are believed to be about II or l2 thousand strong-a force from which We have nothing to fear They seem to be making no preparations for an advance, and the Texas boys are becoming very impatient Gen. Hindman, we feel assured, will be able in a very short time to expel them from the state Let our people aid and sustain him all in their power

our troops had taken possession of that
place on the 9Th The Texans had asked
the privilege Of having the Territory
without further fighting. On the l3.h,
Col. Canby, with 800 regulars had formed
. junction with Col. Paul. with 1900 re-
guitars and Colorado volunteers at Tigcras,
IL miles east of albuquerque, and all
the Texan forces were at Pesaltas, 20 miles
below, on their retreat towards Texas.
They have no wagons or other conveyance

forces, as they cannot make that passage
Of ninety miles without water. The Del
Forte is too high to be forded.
Col. Carson is at Fort Craig with a
command of 500, and in communication
with Col. Candy. The Texans have no
ammunition Tor their cannon, and but few
rounds for their small arms. They have
deserted all their sick and wounded; are
without tents or blankets for themselves,
or food for their men. They had seized
and consumed all they could find in the
territory on coming up to Santa Fe. They
have also taken from the merchants all
their clothing and provisions, giving them
Confederate scrip for the same.--Leasen en-

The Baltimore correspondent of the
N. Y. Post says:
A very worthy member Of the society
OF Friends IN this quarter, a strong anti
slavery man, was inquiring recently Of a
party OF shareholders whether they would
sell him two slaves This inquiry crea
ted the most profound astonishment, TO
be deepened still further by the ayowal
that he wanted to become stakeholder
IN order that he might have a right to
plead with Shareholders for the abolition
of slavery in Maryland on Mr. L,ncaln's &
plan He then cited Cassius NJ Clay's
experience in Justification of his pur-
pose.
II seems that while Gen. Clay was
pleading for emancipation m Kentucky
aome years ago, he was asked BY one Of
the audience whether beowne1 any slaves,
Il own forty said the General eThen
you ought to be ashamed to be taking
sides against your fellow Shareholders
Set your slaves free before you begin to
lecture us - The General felt the force
of his remark so strongly that he Sc, them
oil free. Happening to be speaking again
before Kentucky audience in favor Of
emancipation, he was again asked whether
he was STAKEHOLDER, when he answered
that hs was not. that he had been, but
had set oil his slaves free. ssThen you
have no right to be lecturing US on the
subject" replied the auditor. This Qua
ker friend said he doubted the wisdom of
General Ciay's giving up his slaves until
general act Of emancipation took them
from him, for he lost thereby his hold
upon his fellow sinners, and SO he deter
mined TO become STAKEHOLDER himself, in
order TO be able to plead the cause of
emancipation amongst shareholders.

Manassas Occupied.
WASHINGTON. March II

Washington, March IL
Before dark LAST night Col AveriII, with
large body of cavalry. entered the far
famed rebel works at Manassas. and Div
ouacked nmdst the ruins OF the rebe.
stronghold.
The intelligence gathered at Manassas
and in the aeghborhood, tends to show
that the whole rebel array has retrested
southwards.
The only poin, AT which they ear, with
any sort of confidence, attempt 20 make
stand, is near the juncuon of the FREEZER
lex and Potomac With the Central Virgin
ia H. r., in which neighborhood the
North Anna and South Anna rivers unite
and form the Pambuskv river, about 90
miles directly north of Richmond. At
this point the country is much broken
aud admirably fitted for defence.
Wherever they have gone it is evident
that their army is completely demoraIized
and utterly unfit for service The moral
effect of the retreat from Manassas ts Rich
mond will be The same throughput the
south as it is in this part o. Virginia.
The forts are all Abandoned but log
huts hundreds in number and ample to
accommodate full, 80 600 troops. still re-
main Also an immense number of tents.
the log huts are strewn all along between
Cenirsvile and Manassas
The railroad trek is undisturbed except
the bridges. The stone bridge across Bull
Run on the Warrenton Turn Pike is blown

tween Centerviile and Manassas Every
thing at Manassas indicated precipitate

found but no grns Piles of bullets aud
cartridges were left, and an immense guam

place was discovered about 80 600 bush

and was still smouIdering Among the
trophies are pack-saddes, army orders.

Election Of Supervisors,

rs some misapprehension seems to exist
in the public mind on the subject it is due
TO the voters of the county that we remind
them Of the decision Of the Attorney Gen
eral, which is 20 the effect that the election
of County Supervisors is not by Districts,
but by the votes Of the whole county. As
consequence, it will be apparent to all,
that those who are candidates for the va
cancies occasionei by the resignation Of
Messrs. EMERSON and SORENsoN must de-
pend upon the votes Of all the county for
their election This was understood BY
those who united in the call for Messrs.
HlckoK and PELLET, which call was nu
msrously signed by residents Of the three
Assembly Districts and we call the atten-
ton ofvoiers to the fact, simpl, to correct
any false impression tha: may have been
convey ell to the minds of others, who think
the votes Of the District alone are to be
counted TO supply the vacancy.
In this connection, it will be proper to
add that Mr. FREDERICK BRAsCu, of M;sh
icott, who has been solicited 10 run in .he
Third District, has requested US to An
nounce to the public that be is not car
didate, and will not be under any circum.
stances; bat, on the contrary. advises his
friends TO do--as he will on the day of
election All he can TO elect those who
have been called out by the vo.ers of all
the three Assembly Districts ofthe county.
We trust that the result Of the election
will prove that the "eminently sound" po
siron to which Mr. BRAscH has arrived.
will prove Identical with the unanimous
vote o. the county.
