CAMP ON BosToN MOUNTAIN,
March Sd, 1862.

Coz. J. r. EAKIN-As we are to-
morrow, about to retrieve the lost soil of
Arkansas which is at this time polluted
by the hired Hessians of the North, per
haps it would interest you to receive few
lines from this part of the scat of war.
The programme is now changed to the
general and unanimous satisfaction of all
the soldiers here. 1t is long ere this
known to you, that we have for the last
fifteen days done nothing but retreat and
h ave laid waste great deal of valuable
property On yesterday about sun down,
our distinguished commander, Gen'l Van
Dorm, made his appearance at General
Prices headquarters. His arrival was
duly announced by double salute on be-
half of the Confederate States and the
State of Missouri, This evening we have
received marching orders to advance on
the enemy with all the forces, and gen.
eral engagement will surely follow soon.
Our whole army is full of confidence, as
We nov havea Chief that possesses energy
and courage. The enemy is scattered
over 10 OF 20 miles of ground beyond
Fayetteville. There is no doul but that
we have all this time been retr,atiug
from an nfelior foe.
Our Regiment will surely give a good
account of itself under Its gallant and
deliberate commander, Colonel Men air
Lieut.. Sam'I Ogden was, on last Friday,
elected Lieut.. Colonel, to he great salts
faction of the whole regiment, as well as
his numerous friends at home. The va
caney iu the Goa felerate G yards, occasion
ed by the resignation Of Capt. Rowles,
was filled to day by the election of Lieut.
A Kile, Captain.
Coloael Dawson's re giment arrived 10
camps to day, and was duly armed BY
G en'l Price.
We of the Arkansas volunteers ought
to be under everlasting gratitude to Gen.
Price for the kind and prompt manner IL
which he supplied our troops with ne"
tents and arms. When we hastily LETT ou'
winter quarters, three fourths OF ali our
tents were left behind aud burned up, and
great deal of suffering resulted IN con Sc
quence of having to sleep in the open all
in this cold climate.
We are all pleased 70 hear of the prompt
response to the Governors call from South
Arkansas. With cur experienced Com
mander we hope soon to redeem the down
trodden soil cf Arkansas and Missouri
Very respectfully, ...
G. NJ. OHLSON.

STARCH OF HOME MANUFACTURE
We commend the following recipe for
making starch to all who may wish to try
it, it having been furnished US by enc
who has tried it, aud who knows it to be
a good one. The starch will be found to
be as good an article as that which comes
from YankeeGoodledom
''Take a peck of unground wheat of the
best quality, pick and soak it carefully.
Next put it in tub, pour on sufficient
clear, soft water to cover over, and then
set it in the sun. BE sure to change the
water every day, keeping it in the sun as
much as possible, or an equally warm
place in the house, should the weather
prove unfavorable. When all the grains
of wheat have become quite soft, rub it
well in your hands, and separate it from
the husks, which must be thrown into an
other tub. Let the wheat settle in a ma SIS
and then pour off the water and put on
fresh; stir it we'll, aud let it settle again.
Repeat this every day till the water comes
off clear and colorless, then pour the wa
ter finally off. Take the starch out of the
tub, collect it in thin bag, and hang for
few days in the sun; after which spread
on dishes or on sheets to dry"

No UNION SENTIMENT IN TENNESSEE

No UNION SENTIMENT IN TENNESSEE
The following is a copy of dispatch
from Chicago to the northern associated
press
A special dispatch to the Times, dated
Clarksville, 23d. gives gloomy account
of the state of feeling there .--..
1t says there is but one Union man in
the town, he being sixty years old, or he
would have been killed long ago. Hon.
Cave johnson, who was powerful ad vo-
cate of the Union until the war CONNIE nc
ed, is now as powerful on the other side.
It saws the only effect of our success will
be to drive the people of Tennessee into
the mountains, and to render them desp e.
rate.
There is no spark of the Union feeling
here, aud nobody preteuds to disguise the
fact. The people of Clarksville glory in
secession, and at the same time are trem.
bling lest the town should be burned
There was large quantity of rebel stores,
a portion of which was carried off, and the
remainder destroyed. The rebel leaders
shipped thousand negroes last week from
Clarksville.

a SORRY ISMCATION-THE NORTH
WEST THREATENS TO Cur Loose FROM
NEw ENGLAND The New Haven (Con-
nccficut) Register of late date h-s the
following article:
y Western writer suggests that the
States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and
Michi- -an uRifc in establishing an i'm
mense cannon foundry with view 10 Like
defeuces.
We agree with the Providence Post,
that, once let the Western States begin
10 form union for the purpose Of mutual
defence, no matter what may be the sPe-
ciidl AID ,mn,ediafe object, and they begin
what, in twenty years or so, will develop
into Western Iniepenitncy." This
must not be permitted. The West Is in
jured, no doubt, more than the South BY
the blockade of the Mississippi river
Trei.hts on her products ID the seacoast
are enormously increased, and there is no
possibility of transporting the immense
Supplies Once the West unites for de-
fence, and il will ~ down the Mississippi.
We Of the East could not help ourselves" "
On which the Chicago Post comments
az follows:
The idea Of a Western Independency i
only consistent with the previous disrup
ton of the present Union. Aud if the
newspapers of Rhode Island and Connec-
tcut can see so far into the future that
there will arise time when "Western
Indcpendency," will arrive they make
themselves ridiculous by saying that such
40 event must not be permitted.
The dissolution Of the Union, the sepa-
ration Of the slaveholding States, and their
erection into an Independent contederacyi
will not be the last Of the rebellion II sue
cessfu The Union once dissolved by .
recognition of the Southern CoDfeGeracy
will be but beginning of new strife
The remaining States cannot be expected
to hold together permanently thereafter
The West will hardly suffer herself to be
taxed nearly the full ivalue of her products
for the mere transportation Of her product:
10 the seaboard where the Mississippi vii
afford her an outlet at a very small charge
nor will the West sacrifice their own inter
ests by purchasing goods at the East
through the basis of an extravaganiiy hign
tariff, when along the border of the OblC
aud Mississippi they can purchase the
manufactures of the Old World taxed with
a mere nominal tariff. But these are SUP
jects which should not be debated pow
and the papers of New England, by then
anxiety on this subject, betray fear O
the results of this war. which il not be
coming in them. particularly when New
England, by her tariffs and intense feeling
upon the subject Of slavery, has furnished
the only pretexts that the Southern trai'
tors have been able to offer as an apology
for their treason. The West furnishe'
the fighting men aud the bread aud mea
to feed them with. New England iur
nishes the contractors and the shoddy- \
not the West justified by the experience
, of the past in asking for an armoIy' al
arsenal, and defenses on her lakes! Shoui'
war break out, the West should hay
means at hand to repel invasion, BY arm
. ing her own sons.
