LITTLE Rock, ARK June "a.

To the People of Arkansas:
The Yaukee General Curtis is attempting to
escape. His position Is unteDable. He is ap
palled by the dangers that surround him, and in
his terror he resorts to the desperate expedieut
of moving to the South, along White river,
trusting for supplies to the Mississippi by boats.
The supplies cannot ascend White river We
have already blown up one of his iron gunboals,
crippled another, aud can hold the river against
his feet. The question now Is, shall his army
reach the feet below? You can prevent il; the
power ia in your hands. The plan is not Sc.
cret; proclaim it to you all. If 1t is not car
ried out, the responsibility will rest on you.
Take your gun in your hand, and ammunition,
and every man OF you mount your horse or GO
atoot.
Dojnot wait an hour; lose no time in holding
meetings move toward the enemy by the
shortest road join the fest company
you overtake upon the march press upon
the invaders from every direction; attack him
day and night; kill his scouts and pickets; kill
his pilots aud troops on transports; cut off his
wagon trains; lie in ambush and surprise his de-
tschments; shoot bis mounted officers; destroy
every pound Of beef and -four, every ear Of corn
and stock of fodder, oats and wheat that can
fall into his hsnds; fall trees as thickly as in
RATS on all the roads before him; burn every
thing and block up the fords; hang upon his
front, tanks and rear, and make the ring of
your rifles and shot guns the accompaniment OF
every foot of his retreat; let every man feel
and know this appeal is addressed to him spe-
cislly, and shat il is the appeal of bleeding
country TO her sons for deliverance. Our army
in the field will do Its part well-do you're.

THURSDAY, Sept. ll-6 6P. M.
Money is without change. Call loans are still
quoted per cent; but people who do not caro-.
about giving so much scan, by little extra exer-
ton. find money ct four. Paper 10 quoted s 8 81
per cent according to grade. Certificates Of pub
lie indebtedness are worth 98H per cent; they
have become more plentiful Of late. safer in
vestment cannot be discovered on the list. The
interest, as q known, ID payable in gold. De-
mand notes are quoted to-day at 1857 AZ
Gold and exchange were dull to-day. Gold
opened ct lls. sold down to 1857, rallied to ll9,
and closed at the board llsT bid. Exchange
opened with some frmness at Isl, and the leading
bankers refused throughout the day to sell below
that figure. But sales of bankers bills, in second
hands, were made 1T l3OT a n. and buyers gene
rally declined to bid above 1901 aH. The indica.
cations are that we shall have fair supply of
produce bills during the remainder of the season.
Stocks were again higher to-day, with o good
deal Of animation in the market No confirmation
of the disquieting rumors Of, last evening came to
hand, and an impression prevailed that, whatever
may have happened to agitate Washington, our ar
mics have suffered no further defeats The cloud thus
removed, prices advanced from n to u per cent all
round. For government skies par was freely bid,
and ell classes of bonds were higher. We note an
advance of Il per cent in Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne frsts, per cent in the seconds. and per
cent in Chicago and Northwestern assented.
These being the cheapest of the good bonds on the
list, there is more activity in them than in similar
securities which are held above par. All the rail-
way shares were higher. especially the Fries,
which were very buoyant. Erie preferred ad-
vanced per cent Erie old n, Central Il, guaran-
teed Il, Toledo u. Between the boards and at
the second board the market was very firm. Gov
ernments sold at lOOH. and there was an active
inquiry for bonds. just at the close there was q
slight variation from the top prices, caused, it was
supposed, by Lees proclamation. The market,
however, closed steady, the following being the
