MORE DEsERrERs.-All our information, both
 from this and the ot'cr side of the Mississippi river, is to the effect that deserton is thinning the ranks of the enemy very rapidly. We know that more than thousand descrters have passed through this State on their way to the North, and we learn that five thousand Indianians and Kentuckians de- serted Rosencrans and joined Gen. Breckinridge, and that two federal regiments at Baton Rouge laid down their arms and refused to any longer

THE 300 MICRO kEGIMENTs-Our soldiers will enjoy the sport when Old Abe's 800 negro reei- ments take the field. It is to be hoped they will do go before the war closes, and, if they do, each Confederate soldier will return home with ahkely buck negro servant. It will be happy day when Old Abe shall send our soldiers present of three hundred thousand negroes. It will somewhat re- pay them for the tolls and hardships they st- fered in camp. Let Mr. Lincoln send them along as soon as possible.

n, sir. very respectfully,
our obedi ,llt servant,
 FAY ETTE HEWITT,


 uavipo o;ven this letter in full, we will state our authority for assertion that Gen. fike pro claimed and entorced martiot td~ tn he Ind'an countru. It is an official letter written to Oen' Hindman by Gen. Pike, dated the Stll of Jnne' 1882. in which the following statement was made: hape not euen fund t necessary to proclann ,naytial lar. ercept n the immediate oicinHy of the comps."
 The letter from which this is an extract was written from Ft. McCulloch, in the Indian country We think it pretty plain acknowledgement that be had nroclaimed martial law in the Indian coun- trv at least in the vicinity of his camps; and Gen. Pike had no more power to proclaim martial law in the vicinity of his camps, than Gen. Roane had to proclaim it in the county of fulaskl, or Ieh' Hindman had to proclaim it over the state At the time he wrote, however, he seems to have had no doubt of his power, any unwillingness to have proclaimed and enforced martial law, had he sfound necessary"
 We have not been authorized or requested, of furnished with the necessary facts to make ede fence of either Gen. Holmes or Gen. Hindman' Nor have we sought to do so. Our whole purpose was. if possible, to ward off the blow the publica- ton of len. Pke's letter was likely to lnfct upon . the cause. Gen. Pike occupied high position Ill the Confederate army, and in reference to the h. dians west of us, peculiar one, and any thing he would publish about them, if not contradicted, would be quoted, repeated and believed. Hence his statement that the Indian country was lost to the Confederacy, notwithstanding it had no ioun- dation in fact calculated to infict serious in- jury. It was calculated to protract the war, by discouraging our people and animatng the enemy. If our soldiers can unmurmingty endure every hardship in camp, die in the hospitals and pour out their blood upon the battle field, we think Gen. Pike could have suffered in silence any destruction of his plans and hopes in the Indian country, how ever aggravating, rather than, publishing his com

 LITTLE ROCK, Feb'y 18th, 1863. EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 Sir: In the True Democrat of yesterday find an editorial in which occurs the following sentence; And more at the very time he (Gen. Pike) com, plsined of martial law in Arkansas he was himself proclaimng and enforcing it in the Indian coun- try"
 Permit me, sir, with all due respect, to correct you Gen. Pike never proclaimed or enforced martial law in the Indian country. On the con trary, when urged by the chiefs and principal men of several tribes to do so he invariably replied that no such power was vested in him or any military commander; those tribes being not an integral portion of the Confectionery, but our allies with whose laws and internal policy the President him- self could not interfere.
 Having been on service in the department Of the Indian territory Assistant Adjutunt Gen. ', dur ing the whole time Gen Pike comma ded in that country, speak knowingly, and feeling assured that the sentence was not written with the lhten ton of placing Gen. Pike in false posltlon' ask in simple justice that this note be inserted Tn your next issue.

& No man has a right to be surprised
at this state of things. 1t is just what
we (Abolitionists and Disunionists) have
attempted to bring about. 1t is the first
sectional party ever organized in this
country. 1t does not know its own face
and calls itself national but IT is not ma
tional-it is sectional. The Republican
party is the party of the North pledged
against the South. No act of ours do we
regard with more conscientious approval
or higher satisfaction, none do we submit
more confidently to the tribunal of Hea-

resting political news, permit me to state,
that the Democracy of jackson township,
assembled at Harris school house, on the
first OF this month to hear discussed the
great issues Of the day. The meeting
was organized by choosing John Pergrin,
Esq, as President, and Andrew Rager
and Mr. Shuman, Vice-Presidents; Wm
W. Harris. ESQ, was the Secretary. The
President in a few appropriate remarks
stated the object of the meeting; when
{. L. Pershing, Esq, was loudly called
on TO address the meeting. Mr.. Pershirg
responded in very able speech, which
will tell for aSeif on the Second Tuesday
of October Gen. Joseph 8I'Donald fol-
I lowed Mr. Pershing in a beautiful and
appropriate address The next speaker
was John r. Barnes, Esq, who spoke
eloquently and TO the point, Mr.. Barnes
having finished, Daniel M'Laughlin, ESQ,
was called for. Mr.. Mclaughlin respond
cd in a speech Of about an hours length,
and closed by stating, Gas did all the other
/ speakers( that he was prepared TO produce
the proof for er9Ytiing he had stated that
night, and would willingly do so if called
upon The meeting adjourned with three
rousing cheers for Woodward, and the
/ County ticket. This ended the meeting
of the Democracy of jackson unlike
that of the ''negro equality" fraternity,
of a few evenings prior, which was fired
by an exploded Cannon, declared by q
