Federal Excesses in Arkan sas.

We have recened yarlouo accounts of the
 .cts of the lederals in our State and of the
 atrocities committed by them, giving the names
 ,i the sufferers and particulars of their infamous leed9. Those who have not witnessed their acts would scarcely believe that human beings (in the present century, could be capable of such vlllanes. After leaving Independence county, ! where they seduced great many negroes from their masters, and layishy supplied them with pewter money, they commenced systematic destruction of all property they could not steal. Everything portable they carried off, and that which they could not carry, they destroyed.- They broke open bureaus, trunks, wardrobes, rtc, and such clothing as the negro wenches who they had with them did not want, they tore
 into sbreds before the eyes of the persons whom
 hey robbed. Every morsel of provisions they carried off, tore down fences, turned in stock aud destroyed the growing crops. In some cases they tore the rings from the ears and fingers of lades and offered other indignites too disgusting for narration here. A fayorlte amusement with them was to put a rope around the neck of the owner of plantation and hang him unless he told where provisions or val uables were concealed. They caught women, and putting beyonets to their breasts made them tell where negroes were concealed or property hid. Every law book or other book of value they destroyed and were careful to burn the records of all counties that they could lay their hands on.
 A small force is now at Helena, and have ruined the country about there. The planta- tions of Gen. Pillow near there are utterly runed not fence rail, rafter, or vestige of home left. Lately; band of these thieves came down in Washington county, arrested number of citizeus, among them Hon. David Walker, aud stole every horse and mule they could find These things are done by the troops of Curtis and Fitch, who repeatedly assured the people that they came to protect them and their yhts. Curtis wrote and published letters and Fitch made speeches full of honey and blarney They indignantly denied that any excesses were or should be committed, and upon the heels of their declarations followed series of outrages unparalled in history.
 There are few federal soldiers at Helena and it's vicinity. The people of Helena, with few, if any exceptions, have treated the invaders with contempt. When their peddling, trading
Arkansas true Democrat., 1862-07-30

boats came there, the citizens refused to buy. We learn that the feds attempted to give ball at Helena. but if they had any females there except the colored "far sec," we are mistaken. Last week they collected all the flat boats, wood boats. barges and crafts on White and the lower Arkansas rivers, took them to near the mouth of White river, and told - that if he permitted them to be injured, they would come back and destroy his place. The patriots in the neighborhood got wind of it, and small force went there and burnt the boats. Their gunboats paid visit to Napoleon, where they committed several robberies. In one instance they presented pistol at the bosom of a lady and compelled her to give up the key of her husbands safe, from which they stole large amount in specie. They went down to Chicot county, where they stole a large number of ne groes. We are told that Judge Ringo, Hon H. W. Hill ard and Gen. Gaines were among the sufferers. They took Gen. Gaines prisoner but released him.
 After what has been sail and written, it is singular that people will leave money and pro pertv within striking distance of the invaders Their protestations and declarations about re specting private property are lies They stea everything. even property for which they have no uSe.

Tine canture at Murfreesboro

In the account we publish to-day from th Louisville Journal, of the capture of the fedora troops at Murfreesboro, the Confederate force are stated to have been four tliousand-as usua an exaggerated estimate. A Memphis pape published by the Yankees admits their numbe to have been only 2,OC0. A dispatch iron Nashville ePe.As of them as a mere squad C guerrilas. We clip the following from Mem phs paper of the 2Oth inst:
 "A dispatch from Nashville says, the rebel: have fallen back from Murireesboro, having pa roled the privates taking our officers with them We hope they wlli keep the officers, at least suci of the m as are responsible for the recent dI>- grace in TelAessee. The idea that squad C guerillas should bounce upon ana cut up am destroy two of our regiments, ishumiliating anc dishearlening"

The Truth Coming Out.

The Yankees, in accounting for their terrible defeat at Richmond attribute it to every cause but the right one They explain it by saving We out numbered them They have thus explained every defeat they have sustained since the commence ment of the war. We only wish the explanation was true Had it been, the war would long ago have been transferred to the enemy's country. We have won our battles alone by the desperate cour age of our troops and their numbers have always been too few to enable them to pursue and follow up their victories The want of arms has caused his deficiency, and we supply that want we will fight more to the purpose.
 The truth occasionally wild be heard The re- crminations between Secretary Stanton's friends ana the friends of Mcclellan, brought about by the disaster at Richmond, has had the happy effect to bring out the truth. Senator Chandler gives an official statement, showing that McClellan's forces, when he commercrd his C on to Richmond,'' ,'' amounted to l58 000-half as many more as the Confederates had We take the following report of the proceedings of the Federal Senate from the Bulletin of the 2O,h, paper published in Mem l phs by the Yankees:

AMOUNT OF MCCLrLLAN's FoBCE.-A corres- pendent of the Cincinnati Commercial writing from Washington under date of July l6tb, gives the following account of Senator Cbander's speech on the disaster st Richmond. It shows officially tha. Mcclellan commenced Lis mG-ch upon Richmond from Yorktown with force of 5000 men, which Mr. Chandler admits was ''one half larger than Me re5els Aa3."
 "Chandler's speech tonight developed most important facts regarding Gen. McCleHaus army. It was authorized by the committee on the conduct of the war. A large amount of testimony taken by the committee shows that the army of the Potomac WAS 230,000 strong before dividing, l58,000 strong at Yorktown, which force was one,half larger th9n any the rebels had. By selecting the most unhealthy swamps, and situng down in them to dig ditches for delay, the enemy were given all the time they wanted to reinforce.
 " It is proved by the testimony of Generals Meigs and Wadsworth that Mcclellan had all that he had asked for. Only nineteen regiments had been left to guard Washington. T.a res- possibility for the battle of Balls Bluffs divided between Stone and Mcclellan.

AN ADMIssIoN.-The New York Spirit of he TimeS adnits the drubbing the federas received at Richmond and says ,ciu take sir months to Tecoper from the disaster.
 The New York Times makes the same admis- sion, and thus goomily closes its long article on the defeat at Richmond:
 Beyond all question, this intelligence will fall with heavy weight upon the public heart. It is entirely unexpected, and shattsrs the high hope which the whole country has of late ndulged, that with tine fall of Richmond, the end of the rebel lion was close at hand But this depressing effect will be temporary. days reflection will rouse the whole country to the necessity of another effort to crush the rebellion. However vs may regret the necessity of further sacrifices, there is no alter native. ''We have no election, even if we were base enough to desire one" We cannot yield to the rebels in arms, without absolute and perra. nent disgrace-without complete ruin to all our hopes of national renown, without the loss of everything that makes our country great, prospe- and free.
