in tile home Of the blessed.
Possessed Of uncommon beauty, this dear
child was the idol Of his parents. while the
sweetness Of his disposition endeared him alike
to all who knew him.
During his last illness he never complained.
but strove by every childish art to comfort his
despairing mother
The last night Of his life, while friends were
gathered tearfully around, he stretched out his
little arms imploringly, repeatedly murmuring
"Let me 20 yonder, let me fly,' ana we knew
the angels had come to bear him away to
heaven.
Thus, with the light Of immortality beaminc
from his little eyes, he passed gently through
the dark valley to the worll Of spirits.

The WEATHER AND THE ARMY.-The fall
rains have at length set in, apparently, to last.
The roads will soon become almost impassi BE.
There is little prospect of any considerable
operations either side for some time to come.
The citizens of South Arkansas may, a. least,
congratulate themselves upon comparative
safety for the present. We have information
that the Federal army at Little Rock are al
ready "hutting" themselves comfortably for
the winter with the intention of holding the
place. Their efforts will probably be confined
to creating Union sentiment, through mass
meetings and otherwise, until they may get
their feet firmly upon the necks of the people
within their lines.
We think there need be no apprehension OF
the withdrawal Of our forces from this State
AS many of our citizen. are somewhat nervous
on this subject we may state for their assur-
ance information which we have received, that
the late conference between Gems. Holmes and
Marmaduke at this pace was partly for the
purpose of selecting suitable localities for win
ter quarters. Immediate and strict attention
rs to be given at once to the complete equ p :
ment of the army, and improvement in drill
and discipline, to be ready for early and active
operations in the spring. Meanwhile the citi-
xens Can do much to aid, in returning deser-
tiers, enforcing the conscript law, encouraging
volunteers, and contributing to all proper COM
forts and copyeniences of the army.
When the buds appear, Marmsdukes division,
with Dockery's brigade, and other gallant light
horsemen, will be on the wing, and with our in
fantry under Gems. Holmes and Price, may
strike blowsto redeem our beloved State from
the tread ofthe feet Of the invaders. Patience
and coursge!
