Frem Arkansas.

We saw, yesterday, on the wharf boat
of Messrs. Cox & Humphrey, family,
consisting of man and his wife and
three children, on their way from Arkan-
sas, from which they fed to escape the
rebel Consumption and starvation.
From the woman we learned that such
a thing as calico or muslin could not be
obtained in that region at any price, and
that she had not been able to procure a
new dress for nearly two years.
Flour was luxury unobtainable, and
would command $50 per barrel. Corn
bread, beef and pork in limited supply,
were the only articles of food obtainable.
The husband had twice been conscript-
ed, the first time obtaining discharge
upon examination. After his second
conscription he had deserted, and with
his family made his way to this city.
She says there are a great many
Union people in Arkansas, but many
have been conscripted into the rebel
army, and others compelled to leave to
avoid CONSUMPTION, =

At a meeting of the Passengers on
board the Sanitary boat Cdpitola, held
March II, 1868, George Merritt, was
chosen Chairman, and &. A. Naylor, Sec
rotary. On motion, it was
ReSolUed, That Committee of three
consisting Of Drs Brewer, Walker, and
Mr.. Lynch, be appointed to present res
olutiOns expressive Of the sentiments of
this meeting.
The Committee made the following re-
port, to-wit:
Resotced, That the grateful thanks of
the officers and passengers of this expe-
dition, are justly due, and are hereby
presented to Capt. J. L. Thompson, of
the steamer Capitola, for the uniform
courtesy and polite attentions which we
have received from him and his gentle
manly officers and crew.
ResOlred, That to the skillful and iu-
dicious management of Capt. Thompson
during long and perilous voyage, we
are, under the supervision of kind
Providence, indebted for the safe prose-
cution and happy termination of our ex-
petition, and that we shall ever cherish

adopted. GEO. MERRITT, Chairman.

We are requested by Capt Thompson,
to return his thanks for the above testi-
monial ofrespect on the part of his pas
sengers, and to add that it would be diff
fcult for him to have acted otherwise
than " courteous and polite, where those
entrusted to his care were so pleasant
and easily accommodated. The Captain
informs US that the trip was one of the
most pleasant-so far as his intercourse
with his passengers could make it so
that he ever made, and he will always
hold them in friendly remembrance.

A NEGRO ENTHUSIASTICALLY the
steamer Capitola, owned and command
fSSrd9 y from rom VicEsbars RTrt they had on
board some contrabands, Mississippi and
Louisiana negroes, from whom they had
permits from the proper military authori-
ties to come north.
After landing here the cook of the
boat, negro, took two black boys ashore
under the pretense that he wanted to
hire them After leading them around
several squares, he lured them into a
house on Water street, and slowed them
away in back room. 1t happened that
Mr.. Early, the Deputy Sheriff, had had
his attention drawn to the movement,
and watched it until the cook came out
without the negroes, when he accosted
him, asking him where those little ne
groes were. He answered that they
were on the St. Patrick. Early, know
ing that the cook was lying: made him
show the place of concealnent, and took
the trio to Jail
An investigation will be had, and it is
probable this black kidnapper will be
sent to Jacksonville, as his purpose was,
doubtless, to send these boys across the
river and sell them for gain
Subsequently aohite man went on
board the Capitola and offered the Stew
ard of the boat 500 if he would lure
a negro, on the boat, up town so that he,
the aohite man could get hold of him.
The description of the achite man as
given by the Steward, who is white man,
is true to the life, so there is no mis-
taking the person The Steward, though
himself a strong pro-slavery man, to bis

Kenfnctrss Peril.

We have on several recent occasions
referred to the various Indications OF
rebel movement upon our State from the
southeast, as soon as the condition of
the roads will permit travel We have
not spoken upon mere surmise, nor have
we attempted to magnify the imminence
of the danger. Our information was de-
rived from thoSe who had been eye-wit-
nesses to the preparations, to the mass
ing of troops at Knoxville, and the gath
ering of large numbers of horses in the
vicinity of Rogersville, in Hawkins
county md other points where forage
can be collected. We publish therefore
the following letter from Mr. Brownlow
as an additional confirmation of the pre-
paration of the rebels, for he has oppor-
tunities of gaining information superior,
probably, to those of any other gentle
man, and we earnestly hope that his re-
presentations may stimulate our authori
ties to prompt and energetic measures
for defence:

NASHVILLE, March IA, 1868.
/ am not an alarmists, nor do | think
am easily frightened by the threats or
movements of the rebels, still believe,
most ciencerely, what | find many dis
posed to doubt, and even laugh to scorn.
l believe that q rebel raid upon a large
scale is now being fitted out in East Ten
nessee, for the invasion of Kentucky. l
| have looked into this matter with great
deal of interest and anxiety; | have con-
versed with divers men, known to me to
be reliable cBhhtn tRUAHKAf and they have
satisfied me that large forces are organ
! in Upper East Tennessee, and they will
make an assault from two or more gaps
| through the mountains, with infantry and
cavalry, and if not met upon cores
ponding scale they will damage kentcky,
if they do not destroy Louisville aud Gin
cinnati. The attempt would have been
made before now, but for the high water
and the bad condition of the roads.
! They are coming, however, and will be
in the State this spring, and those who
are slow to believe it have only to Wait a
few weeks and they will see that | am
not mistaken in my predictions. They
aim, of course, to destroy railroads,
cities, and town, but, above all, they aim
to exchange thousands of starved and
worn-out horses, and graiuaries in the
country.
| Our military authorities can't be too
vigilant, nor can they prepare to
meet this intended invasion OF your State
upon too large scale of operations. 1
hope the enemy may not interrupt your
citizens at the time of planting and pre-
pairing for their crops And | hope, also,
for the honor Of our army, they may not
again be allowed to invade your State
and escape unhurt, as they did on for
mer occasion, when their whole army
should have been captured.
1t may be said that am an officious
intermeddler, or that am relating moth
ing new. | have only to repeat, let the
/ people of Kentucky look out, and let the
military be upon the watch
