Letter from Arkansas.
HELENA, ARK, July Is, ]

..a... HELENA, ARK, July 15, 1862.
DEAREST BROTHER In the good prov
idence Of God once more find myself within
the reach of civilization. For several weeks
this branch of the army has been completely
isolated from all creation, and the rest OF
mankind wandering among the canebrakes
and cypres swamps of Lower Arkansas, All
the posts in the rear were abandoned and
out of dozen messengers who undertook to
come through from Rolla, only one reached
his destination, and he came through Pocha-
hontas while the crowd were hanging two of
his comrades, escaping after three shots were
fred at him. Small guerrilla parties have
been prowling around the rear and through
all the country, cutting off straglers, suffers,
and unguarded trains. Such a time was
never known in this or any other land. HUI
man life and human rights are less considered
than among the Thugs From Batesville to
Jacksonport, Company +, of our regiment,
provision. On the 4th of July, about one
| o'clock, P. NJ, while all was silent and quiet,
the men protected from the scorching rays
of the sun by canvass awning, being engag-
| ed in vain amusements, some playing cards,
some playing the violin and guitar, and many
sleeping, they were slightly astonished by
the sudden discharge of about four hundred
guns of all descriptions, from concealed
foe. Only one man, Capt. Wadsworth, was
hit, and he was struck in the back of the
head by buckshot, but not seriously hurt
They sprang to their arms and returned the
sulute by guess among the canebrakes, and
began to throw shell with two six pound how
itzers which made the devils cut so quick as
to show few of their accursed bodies and
they laid cut nineteen, and rowed along
pretty we'll satisfied with their celebration
From Jacksonport the sick were put aboard
of fatboat, and that was fred upon once
and few poor helpless ones killed. The
road was blockaded in several places by fel
ling large timber, and Gen. Steele's division
being in advance had two or three skirmish
es. In one place they killed about dozen
with no loss, leaving some just as they fell-
Two days after when we came along tw

IL is our opinion, in view of these va
rious provisions of law, that the uniform
companies in this State must be first or
dered into the service, under the call of
the President, and that the balance of the
quota required must be drafted from the
balance of the 6 enrolled militia" as pro-
vided in section 4 of the act of 1912.
The Militia law of the State contemplates
that the uniform militia shall be specially
liable TO do military duty in cases of in
surrection or invasion, or in case of {. war
or INVASION" as provided in section 13 of
the act of 1912. This view is justified by
the language of section A, of the act of
1912, which provides for draft from the
enrolled militia" only in cases when g it
shall become necessary to call out a
greater number Of men" after " all the
uniform companies" have been "called
iuto dctudl stTSict. .-..
We call attention to this subject in
view of its immediate importance. If it
be true that the members of uniform COM
panies in this State are liable at all events
to do military duty under the call for
800, 600 nine months men, it is well that
they should be apprized of the fact at
once, that they may "set their houses in
order" before being off to the wars
We do not undertake to decide the ques.
ton. The decision belongs with the
Chief Magistrate. We have only given
expression to our own hastily formed
opinion upon point which, after all, may
not be involved in any doubt.
1t is apparent, however, at glance
that our militia laws are very defective
and we are not sure that it viii not be
deemed. necessary by the Executive OF
this State to caH upon the President to
exercise the power vested in him b. the
act Of Congress above cited, to make the
necessary rules and regulations for car
rying the draft into effect. We think il
may be found that the present enroll
ment is defective, in which case a new
enrolment will undoubtedly be made OF all
citizens between the ages of 1S and 40
irrespective of uniform companies, from
which the quota will be drafted, thu
avoiding the practical difficulties which
might be found to exist were it attempted
to follow the crude and uncertain pro
visions of our statutes. sa gas@a.-a.

statement of the origin of the disturbance

Mr.. ECIRoR :-Castleton is still awake to
the call of the country IN this day of peril
and danger. Twelve of her stalwert sons
have enlisted their names to the company
now forming at Fairh aven, under recruiting
officer HIDE, who is citizen of this town,
and son of the model and most distinguish
ed hotel keeper between New York and
Montreal, James X. Hyde, of Sudbury.
Although no large and enthusiastic war
meetings have been held in Castleton, and
no large and generous bounties have been
offered to soldiers, still there has been en-
listments constantly going on ever since the
rebellion began. / think every regiment
that has been raised in the State has more or
less representations from this town, the whole
in round numbers ITO, several of them hold
ing responsible positions in different div visions
of the army. ..fs
Mr.. G. Valiquette, an enterprsng young
mechanic of this town, offered bounty of
five dollars each to any two able bodied men
that would enlist that day. Before night
two men accepted the offer and enrolled
| their names, and are now in the country's
| service. a# ar

that he cannot well 90 himself, and has no
sons to offer on the altar of liberty. For
these truly sufficient reasons he patriotically
gave the ten dollars. g a

But all sang Annie LAURIE

Until the tender passion
Rose like an anthem, ch aud strong
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,

Beyond the dark ned ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers. 5-t.ss

We do not wonder that the writer of
the above, in note which accompanied
it, says, eff the above nonsense finds a
place in your well-filled columns, let there
be nothing attached to it to indicate its
origin" We should suppose any man of
common sense would dislike to father
such &c nonsense" And in these times, it
is worse than nonsense, We print it
only to reprove the author, and all others
like him, If he has nothing to do but to
find fault with the government and our
Generals in the field, and to ask news
papers to give publicity to his childish
clamor, we tell him frankly that he is of
no use to anybody, and the sooner he
leaves the country whose privileges he is
unworthy to enjoy, the better will it be
for all. sl.a
To the first query, we answer that the
croakers constitute the caudal appendage
which the government and the people are
compelled to carry along behind them,
and Slick is component part" of said
appendagel Slick simply mistakes the
head for the tail In answer to the Sec
ond query, we say, if Selex and thousands
of other fault-fnders just like him, will
fill the ranks and join Nc Clellan, we will
vouch for the success of his strategy.
His strategy is altogether ahead of croak-
ing, do-nothing patriotism. We have nc
idea who "Silex" is, but he has our opin.
ion of him and such as he, as frankly
expressed as he will care to hear. And
we do it more in kindness than in anger
since we are not quite sure that he does
not err through chronic thoughtlessness OF
