Southern Confederacy would have been an i'm
possibility forever.
All this is speculation on the past. Is there
no lesson in it for the future? May we not
read in it the futility of all efforts to create
governments, competent to protect the interests
of the whole. and to promote the common good,
acting only within the range of granted pow
ers, strictly defined, and rigidly construed.
Human wisdom cannot foresee all the exgen-
cles which may arise, and frame in constitu-
ton, or otherwise, grants of power, to enable
the legislature to meet them. There was, in
the old Constitution of the United States. so
carefully framed, no grant, direct or implied,
of power to purchase territory. 1t was done
by violence to that instrument great ne
eessity justified the act. Happy for that
the Constitution was disregardcd.
1t is far better that constitutions should only
construct the frame of Government and pro-
vide for a representation from the people to
keep alive the spirit of liberty and equality
should prohibit all hereditary rank and privi-
leges of ca: te. should leave the highest honors
of the State open to the humblest born, and
guard certain great landmarks of liberty
from invasion, and with those exceptions leave
the legislature supreme and untrammeled to
pursue the public good. Experience has long
since shown that constitution nre no safeguard
against unprincipled najorties. Patriotic
ones, may be safely trusted with the amplcst
p"wers for the public good.

NEWS ITEMs-Staunton has been re-
moved, and Gen. Scott appointed Secre ia

Lowell with 1,5O0 to 1000 troops, with an
additional force some miles inward. A
federal vessel reports at Memphis shat the
city is being played upon by 20 mortar
boats, but is far less damaged, and the
defences stronger than was expected. No
attempt has been made to land. They
report our batteries to consist Of 10 or so
guns well mounted, extending three miles
along the shore, and completely covering
the city in front Of town. The canal is
in progress.
The feneral commander at Memphis
has ordered the wives and families of all
persons ia the service Of the Confcd crate
States to leave the city.
\ few federals are at Helena. Reports
say they are completely devastating Phil
lips county. They are securing the Mis-
sissippi, to prevent the crossing OF arms
and ammunition to this apartment An
intelligent traveller, passing through this
place few days ago, from Gaines Land
ing, reports that all along the river they
are actively destroying every fat boat,
skiff, and all manner of water craft al the
plantations, aud that the ferIyman at the
landing had been shot BY the Federals.

The WEATHER AND CRsps.-The drought
has passed. We have had rains over all tn c
country There is prospect of more. Corn
is wonderfully recuperative, and We shall
have more oft than we feared. All river and
black lands will make two-thirds of crop.
The sandy lands are oreaJoa,d for this year.
But we will have need of much. Whilst our
farmers should literally supply the needy,
there should be the utmost economy in the
use of bread stuffs. We do not know what we
may need. Meanwhile they should sow tur-
nips largely, and prepare FOR wheat in album

Col J. Il. EAKIx-
Dear Sri am prompted to say few words
through your columns, knowing as j 10 that
the friends and relatives of the 29ih Regiment
woull like to hear from them in a gcner al way
We have been stationed at Tupelo, Miss .
on the Mobile Railroad for the last three weeks
in a high, healthy district, with plenty Of good
spring and well water. For mouth past the
weather has been dry and pleasant. The cti-
zens are very patriotic, unusually %, exchang-
iny what they have for medium prices in good
old times. With so many of the blessings Of
God, the health Of the regiment is good. We
have lost some Of our brave boys since part
ed with you at Washington, on the 18th Of
March, Never did commanders administer to
the wants aud necessities of men with 4 more
cheerful hand or more willing hearts. Many
of them were sent 70 the different hospitals,
where they receive the same attention. With
all the harIships and trials of camp life, they
are in fine spirits aud feel confident Of success ia
battle. They being well drilled daily, AMI
nj improving fast, and in few months more
they will cope with the best drilled regimen.
n the service. We have battalion of Skin
mishers, armed with Enfield and Sharp's rifles
The men are selected from the different regi
ments of the brigade. None but the young
and robust accepted. Our young aud gall
LIANT friend, John H. Morgan, is Captain Of one
OF the companies. we uepenu upon THIS Doug
to shoot the Federal officers, do the fighting
when in the vicinity Of the enemy, bring on
the battles, &c.
Gen. Stirling Price, after q visit to Rich
mond, has returned General Of the Army Of the
West. The officers are much elated ut the
idea of being under such an experienced off,
Ger. Gen. Beauregard has gone to Richmond,
Gems. Hindman and Rust to Arkansas, and
Gems. Van porn, Breckenridge ana Bragg to
Vicksburg.
When we arrived at this place there were
10000 soldiers under Gen. Beauregard.-
They have been scattered, | suppose to obtain
subsistence, until it has left but few here. 1t
is hoped the visit Of our Chief Commander to
the seat Of government is for some grand
change in the war The permanence Of the
war depends on the conduct of foreign nations.
The burning of the staple articles Of the
South has brought France and England to a
sense of duty. The feis have chastised us
badly on the water-they know full well that
we can retaliate on land.
There is preparation being made to move
this portion Of the arny-when and whore the
Generals know. 1t is to be hoped to Arkan-
sas, as our boys would do better fighting on
our own border.
On the 10th Of July, quite a number Of the
well drilled soldiers take leave for their respec-
tive States. All under Is and over 3j years
of age.
There is some doubt in the minds Of our
Generals as to the coptinuace of hostilities.

DEATH OF R. W. JOHNSON, JR.--We learn
from the True Democrat that r. Johnson
son of our Senator, died at Little Rock on the
22d inst Young Robert was a volunteer in
the expedition against Fort Smith, and was
anxious to become soldier of the Confedera
cy, but was dissuaded by his friends on account
Of his extreme youth, The imperial summons
came before he could offer his life to the South.
1t has only been a few months since DR.
Jordan, the brother in law of Col. Johnson, was
called to the grave. In the short interval his
brother James johnson was snatchsd away by
violent and untimely death. Now he mourns
o son, swept away in the bloom of youth
These severe domestic Affections of tho hon
orabe Senator will meet the hearty sympathy
Of the great mass of our citizens, to whom lie
is endeared by many public services through
Il long series of years. Perhaps no man in
Arkansl is is more identified with her progress.
or better acquainted with her true interests.
His long acquaintance with the leading men of
the South, and his intimacy with public affairs,
have given him an influence possessed b. few
1t is to be hoped that in the continued dis
charge Of patriotic duties and in the service of
she State and Confederacy, he may find in the
decline Of life some relief from sorrows which
no human means can effectually dissuags.

The SITUATION OF THE ENEMY The
fragments of the grand army of the Poto-
mac are now, with Mcclellan at its head
entrenching itself on James river, at its
confluence with the Chickahominy, where
reinforcements are being landed. This
position is peculiar safe one. being pro-
tected on two sides by the federal gun
boats under which they can at any time
withdraw, should they ever find themsel-
yes venturiug out too far. Correspon-
dents to the northern papers of the 4th
inst, speak of the arrival of large mum
bers of transports, laden principally. with
provisions. On TIE I'd inst, three hun
dred transports had arrived at Fortress
Monroe for this destination-all, except a
few which contained troops, being filled
with supplies aud working material.
