mind that the present Abolition Con-
gress has still one year to run. In that
time some of the most desperate battles
the world ever heard of will have been
fought, and the Yankees will already
have conquered us or been expelled
from our territory. So far, then, as the
war is concerned, we shall gain nothing
by the late Democratic victories, at least
for the present. AS in the case of ex-
pected Intervention, we warn our people
to trust to themselves, and nothing else.
Nevertheless, it is pleasant to find Old
Abe thwarted in the dearest wishes of
his heart.

The Mississippi River Abandoned.

We are indebted to Capt. c. c. Danley of the Gazette, for the Memphis Union Appeal a black republican sheet, from which we clip the follow> ing gratifying intelligence.
 TIE GREAT LEvIATHAN HAS MORE SEA ROOM VlCKsBURG AND THE ARKANSAS LEFT TO THEM sELvEs.-The lower fleet under Com. Farragut has gone back to New Orleans.
 The (rebel) batteries at Greenville and Caro- line have been increased from four to sixteen guns.
 Com. Davis begins to look sober. He never could be convinced, it is said, that the Arkansas was very formidable, till she made her way so gallantly from the Yazoo to Vicksburg.
 The upper fleet is now at Helena. The Ar kansas has command Of the river between Hell ena and New Orleans. How much and how long she may annoy us remains to be seen, but it is high time she were put out of the way.
 "The rebels have possession ot the Star Of the West, Ocean Steamer, and Balize tug, and are piercing them for war vessels. The Star of the West is pierced for P guns. From 20 to 20 vessels constitute the extemporized war fleet which the Arkansas is gathering around her. They ars mostly transports, and of course not very formidable. The Prince of Wales, Magen- ta. Natchez, Ben. McCulloch, Vicksburg, Fred. Kennett Louisville and Mary E. Keene, are the names of some of the vessels.

r,ha rederals in Arkansas.

Onr information from the North west and the Indian country is to the effect that the federals have returned back into Kansas and Missouri. The enemy arc not threatening us at all in that region.
 It is reported that Curtis army, or portion of it, have returned tow hite River, from Helena, and are again threatening the valley of the Arr kansas. They are TOW at Clarendon on White river. near the mouth of Cache, and have their pickets out on this side
 What their intentions are we have no means of forming an opinion. It is reported that they have formed provisional government for the State. We suppose Col. Phelps is at the head of it and is TOW at Helena.
 Whatever their intentions towards the State may be. we have no fears that they willachieye any thing of benefit to themselves or detrimen- tal to us. We have no idea that they can be in much force. or really have any idea of leaving White river to come this way. White river valley. if they remain in itlong, near Clarendon, will form grave yard for them, and if they at tempt to cross the river and advance, they will not improve their situation.
 A late number of the New York Tribune lays down the following as the
 FEDERAL PROGRAMME FOR ARKANSAS.
 Hon. John s. Phelps of Missouri, has been appointed military governor of Arkansas, and will soon leave Washington for that State. lie has full powers necessary, similar t2 those con ferred upon Messrs. Johnson, Stanley and Shept lev, the high purpose being to assist the loyal people in reestabllshing their government in ac- coriance with the constitution of the United States. This appointment gives general satis- faction, from the known prudence and frmness of the recipient as well as his unquestionaba loyalty. The appointment was unsought and gracefully conferred by the PreSidant.
 Mir. Phelps will enter immediately upon the execution of his duties. He will for the present make his headquarters at Helena, but expects very soon to assume the gubernatoriaI functions at Little Rock. It is understood that on the ad- vance of Gen. Curtis to Searcy, hlte county within about fifty miles of Little Rock, the A r. kansas State archives were removed to Hot Springs, near Red river, in the-southern part o the State. It Is to be regretted that Gen. Curtis did not then proceed to the State capital and take possession of it. It is understood here that hlS march to the Danh ol tue NilSsl0o4pPl Was occasioned only by his need of supplies, and no by the pressure of the rebel forces under Hind man.
 The Union forces from Kansas are now in tho vicinity of Fort Smith, and another large Unior force has entered Arkansas from south western Missouri tis likely that the bomba8tic Hind man, who is too new 8 man in Arkansas to have won much of the confidence of old settlers, vii soon be compelled to find his way across Rec river, and leave the loyal men of North Arkan' sas to organize loyal government for them l selves.

Sharp Practice about McDoweIl's College

On Saturday evening there was a good deal of excitement about McDowell's College, a somewhat notorious establishment in this city. caused in the first place by the arrival of from thirty to forty soldiers from Rolla, heavily iron ed and charged with mutiny. They are under. stood to be a part of Col. Ronbaurs regiment, who had received orders to march into Arkan- sas and refused to do so, on the ground that they were < Home Guards" and could not be taken out of the State. A still larger number arrived in this city some days ago, and were sent to Hannibal, on charges of insubordination. When this party arrived at McDowell's College they were met by their wives and friends, and a good deal of indignation was manifested un- til they were locked up, when it is said the wo men went of hurraing for Sterling Price. Jeh Davis and Dixie.
 But events did not stop here. A company of troops, whose commanders name we have not learned was paid off on this day, and they had been having good time. There Is priso ner in the College who has some music in his scul, and is in the habit of playing on his flute, Hail Columbia, Star Spangled Banner Dixie, and such like airs, and the prisoners take part in the exercise and entertainment. The officer in command of this company took of fense at Dixie, went into the prison, and told the officer of the guard to stop that music or he would kill the performer. He immedi- ately retired. The officer of the guard sent or ders to the upper room to stop the music in stantly, and this gave some intmation what was going on below. The prisoners retired from the windows, in the north east part of the building and fell to the floor. It was well they did SO for, as soon as the officer in question reached the street he formed his men in order, fired his own pistol, and then commanded his men tc fire al the obnoxious windows. They of course obeyed but no harm was done, sa all the inmate: had squatted. These balls, we are told, art planted about the windows The officers em ployed about the College are confident tha there was no cause for this demonstration which endangered the lives of persons who could not have insulted outsiders in any way.
 We understand witnesses have been sent for by the proper authorities and thorough in- yestigation will take place, with the proper pun ishment for those who have thus outrageousl, endangered the lives of prisoners Mssou5,, Repubijcaa,

ANOTHER KENTUCKY TRAToR.-We find the following significant paragraph in the Memphis Union Appeal of the 3d inst;
 "Gov. WickliHe, of Kentucky, was called out before mass democratic meeting at Cincin- nati, on his way home. We may advert to his half reasonable remarks hereafter Why he does not put himself under the wing of John C. Breckinridge, others may be able to explain better than we can"
 Gov. Wickliffe is one of the Kentucky mem bers of Lincoln's Congress who protested re- gently against Lincoln's emancipation policy. We now find him on his way home making Aa1 reasonable species. Gov. WickHhe has been one of Lincon's most abject supporters and did as much as any other man in the State to make Kentucky what she is.
