BY the kindness of Capt. b. II. Kins
worthy, We have been put in possession Of
a letter from Lieut.. Col. p. Il. Smith, Of
Dawson's regiment. written from Fort
Smith on the night of the 26th Of Feb
ruary, and from which we have made the
following extract:
ave received orders
about two hours since to take up line Of
March for Gen. Prices headquarters to-
morrow morning early He is just on the
other side Of Boston Mountain, about ~
miles from this place. ! want you to push
forward with all possible speed Don't
listen to airy one who advises prccrastina
tion. Some men leave here aud 20 home
reporting along the road that We have
troops enough, and want no more meu.-
Others re port that the battle will not Be
fought for wceks-that the federals are
retreating--that we ha &c forty thousand
men. Ali this is false; you need not be-
lieve a word Of it, From the best infor
nation the strength Of the enemy is twice
that of our own, if no more.
"The citizeos vf Fort Smith are very
much alarmed for the safcry Of the place.
and a ru.nor has reached here to-day that
the Federals are coming down on u IL
through. the Cherukce Nation. west of
Boston Mountain, aud that they will nnt
attack Us in our position on the Noun
rain. Another rumrr says that they are
iu Fayetteville in large free, and that
thev have huisted the Stars aud Stripes"
on the court house iu that place. The
latter report is generally believed, and the
rrder from Cen Free urging forward all
troops from this quarter to Boston Noun
tain, strengthen the b-lief that there viii
be an tack on us ia that region. Our
guns have not yet arrived, but zen. Price
arms Us for the fight Price is 10 com
mand here Dow, aud the whule army L.
cun6dent he will lead them TO victory.
"Get big company if you can Our
Buys are all right and seem eager for the
fight. should not Be surprised if the
fgh, begins tomorrow or next day.
"Rumor says that when Gen. Price
eros. ed the State line, and called ON Oca
McCulioch 10 assist him to fight the enc
uy at Cross Holows, and he refused. that
the old soldier sat down aud wept like a
child. / understand that Coils. Hebert's,
McNair's, and one Texas regiment refused
to retreat unless Gen. Price did. Tell
our friends to come On, and those who
fnd il i'm possible TO do so, to urge forward
all the meu they can, as now Is the time
OF our greatest need.
"Truly yours, &c..
+. II. SMITH,"

~We are requested by Hon. LEN B. GREEN
to state that. owing to the excitement now
prevailing the public mind, in consequence of
the threatened invasion of our State, and in
view cf the fact that half or more of the voters
of the district, including parties litigant, wit
nesses and attorneys, are, or will be, absent
in the military service ofthe Confederate States
he will not hold the Spring term of the Circuit
Courts in the counties of Ouachita, Columbia,
and Lafayette; and that the Spring term of the
Courts will be holden in the counties of Union,
Calhoun and Hampstead for the purpose alone
of disposng of important criminal cases pend
ing in said Courts.
Under the law passed at the late session Of
the Legislature, most of the civil cases have
already been, or would be. continued to the
fall term of the Courts and hence there is little
or no necessity of holding the Spring term for
the trial of civil cases.

l9- A large meeting of the officers of
the 18th Arkansas (Col Gantt's) Regi
meut has been held for the purpose Of
expressing their indignation at para>
graph in the State Gazette, already an
swered in our columns by an esteemed
correspondent. The meeting was fully
attended and resolutions passed of the
strongest character, expressive of their
indignation, and also their conf dence in
Col. CAN'T.
We have many friends in that regiment;
and so also have most Of our readers. The
reputation of the regiment whilst at
Memphis has been matter cf pride wit h
US. The universal testimony of the citi-
izens of that city last fall is the best de-
fence of the regiment, and the character
of Col. CAN'T. 1t establises the fact OF
their orderly behavior, their strict atten-
ton to camp duties, and their proficiency
in drill; whilst to Col. CAN'T was accorded
the praise of being an officer devoted to
his profession, and untiring in energetic
provision for the equipment of the regi-
meut and its general welfare. His faith>
fulness in Office secured him the command
of the forces at New Madrid, and his
conduct whilst there has shown him
worthy Of the trust. All important mill
sary operations have been conducted by
him, although strangely assigned by the
press. to Gen. Thompson. We have the
means of knowing, and we pay our hearty
tribute Of respect to Col CAN'T as an
officer, and his regiment as gentlemen.

The PRODUCE LoAN.-The "Talk G

The PRODUCE LoAN.-The "Talk on
Change" 10 the New Orleans Crescent
Of the 22d ult., has the following:
The Impression exists that the produce
loan will not prove OF any essential aid 10
the Confederate Government. We assume
that about $4,000 bales Of cotton have
been teudered aud subscrl bed towards the
loau, for which the Confederate Govern
ment is to grant its bon ds when the agents
receive the proceeds of tie sales OF cotton
or the cotton alone. Unfortunately the
Gov ernn, ent ut Richmond, or rather the
Gov ernment (provisionaD that Was, has
tot intimated the maDuer or mode Ia
which the cotton is to be available, or
ADOPTED any plan whereby the planter oil
subscriber can deliver his cotton, or zen
a port where he eau make sales, and con-,
pl ie his agreement aud OF what advan-
tage to the Government is the great pro
duce loan SO far as cotton planters are
considered? The blockade has been dis
regarded over aud over again, but no at
tempt has been made by the Navy Depart
ment at Richmond to maintain ingress
and egress to the port Of New Orleans.
While our State authori ties inhlbit cot
ton from coming here, we should like "a
be Informed what immediate advantage j,
10 arise from the cotton produce loan,
either to the planter or contributor, or to
the Confederate Government. The cotton
subscribed is in the gin-house, perhaps in
seed for want Of balling; possibly il may
be in bales, but the planter is prohibited
from sending it to market, and he is the
sufferer

TREMENDOUS CoNFLAGRATIoN.-L
Tuesday night, at midnight. FIRE broke
out in the cellar Of d. w. Fellows Gro
Gerry store, supposed to have originated
from bale of cotton, which had been re-
ceived that evening and stored it, having
been previously on fire, and probably not
entirely extinguished in few minutes
the whole establishment was on vast sheet
of flames, soon communicating to Tyra
Hills store, also two story building, and
to w. X. Simmons two stores, two story
frame, and a vacant two story frame, the
property of E. w. Ellioti--all Of which
stores were entirely destroyed. Through
the untirirg exertions of s"me ct our c'tl'
zens, most of the stock belonging to ryra
Hill, was saved, as also part of w. Il
Simmons Tin plate. Ga account OF the
reduced state of stocks on hand, the loss
is not as heavy as it would have been a.
any other season. We do not think the
loss in buildings, to amount to more than
ten thousand dollars, and goods consumed
and destroyed, to over 6ve thousand--Our
friend w. r. Simmons being by far the
heaviest looser. We understand Mr.. Eel
lows store was insured for $1,000, ard
Gillis, Ferguson & Co.'S. store, occupied
By Tyra Hill, for $4,000, We hope our
citizens will be vigilant hereafter, aud iu

ought not to be pack ed or warehoused with
lot of sound cotton.--Cassden Herald.

BANKING 1t is a. common fallacy, to
suppose that banking institution which
issues bills to the extent of three dollars
to one of its specie or bonds, actually
has two thirds of its circulation out with,
out any substantial basis to support it.
This would be true, indeed if the bills were
given away gratis. But the truth of the
matter is, that for every bill issued by
way of loan or purchase of exchange.
there is a separate substantial basis in the
shape Of the notes of several substantial
gentlemen who aresrequired to pay them
at maturity, and their payments SO made
are there to meet the bills when they may
come in. In any well-conducted bank a
retention in specie of one-third is always
considered ample, and perfectly safe
Bills are continually coming in to be re-
deemed, but on the other hand, col;ec-
tions are constantly being made. The
specie basis is only required for emergen
cles. In case, for instance, the collections
should be slower than the calls for re-
demption.
Suppose bank with SlOO, 600 of specie
on hands were to discount bills and drafts
and SC put out circulation of $500, 900,
keeping its specie in its vaults What
are its assets and liabilities? 1t owes for
its issues. 1t has in notes and bills dis
counted over 100000 (for it must be
remembered that in discounting the in
interest is retained, and besides that, the
original 100000 in metal. Is il not
falacy to say that an institution having
over s4OO, 900 valuable property and ow-
ing only 100000 is doing business on a
ficticious basis?
The fact is, that the beauty of the sys-
tenn consists in this, that the credit of
capitalists is made available as circula-
ting medium, without any danger to any
parties. The industry of the country is
stimulated, and no one wronged A poor
man who wishes to engage in an enter
prise useful to the community, and whose
friends have not the money to loan him,
may borrow their credit, and make it
quite as available.

~ Queen Victoria. in her speech, at
the opening Of Parliament said, in refer
ence to the United States, that the Tren,

that Gen'l McCulloch is not acting from
passion. or even hastily and thoughtlessly
in his policy. There may be some mill
tary reasons for the destruction by 6re Of
tho towns, mills, aud dwellings, which he
may feel ii necessary to fall back from,
aud abandon. We honestly confess, that
at this distance, We should not hastily
criticize the conduct of our military com
manders. They act under heavy respon.
sibilities, aud may we'll be supposed to
give graver consideration to matters with
in their province, than we are apt to be
stow. Il -
This much BY way Of preface, to show
that nothing We may add is intended
ceDsoriously.-
Still, from all the lights before US, We
cannot app: eciate the policy of Devastating
our own country ou our retreat. The
houses and mills and goods which are
devoted to the flames belong, not to the
enemy, but to ourselves. 1t is SO far
weakening our own knees, in the future
If We expect to abau don that region alto
gether, (Which God forbidN then it il
right. If We expect to regain it, then it
is miserable policy to render it worthless
To destroy public stores aud provisions
is military good sense. To destroy pri-
vate property (not necessary for military
subsistence) is decided nonsense. A house
is of no use to the enemy. They get
along Just as we'll 10 tents. Why bur"
the houses? Who, does it hurti Them
or u.s. Arkansas needs all the property
she can save, consistently with the most
efficient public service. If her towus are
to be burned, she will submit as cheeriuhy
as ever State did to public necessity.-
But it would be much more gratifying
see such things done in accordance VIII"
some lawfully established plan OF operas
tiops. Van Dorn's order to burn = 'own,
would, of itself. not be free from crlti-
cism, to say nothing Of inferior officers.
Whenever our authorities say we ought
to burn every town we are forced to abau
don, we will question their wisdom, but
app.aud our generals for obedience. Uu-
ill then, we cannot help feeling sorry that
the private property Of individuals, who
have families to support, is devoted to
the flames, when the destruction Of it
contributes in no way to weaken the ene-
my or strengthen ourselves.
The policy Of people, at any time,
destroying their own cities to prevent
their falling into the enemy's hands, is
questionable. The iuundaticn of their
country by the Dutch, was an act Of self
defence The burning of Moscow was IA
brilliant affair, and generally alluded to as
the grand crisis of Napoieon's fortune,
compelling his retreat, and thereby de
featiug the objects of his grand expeii-
ton. That may have been, but is yet
uncertain. Still it is no precedent for
this country, where soldiers bivouac in
the open air from preference.
All the property necessary to be des-
troyed, must be. But We expect to expel
the enemy hereafter. and would not as
Arkausiaus wish to have our land devas
tated, beyond what might be required by
extreme necessity. .....
