Candidates for Congress-.

In these times. when not only lAe independ nee and nationality of the southern States but t.s liberties and very existence of the Southeru peQf pie are at stake, it is the duty of every southern citizen to take care that sound men are selected. Especially is it so in the selection of Congress men, who have the destinies of tte Confederate States and people in their keeping.
 Tn the discharge of this duty, it is our purpose to support and advocate the reelection of GRAN DYSON D. RoYsroN and FELIX l. BATsoN, to rep resent their respective districts in the lower house of the next Congress. These gentlemen have de- clared themselves candidates, and as their course in the present Congress meets with our free and cordial appreciation, and as we know them to be pure men, morally and politically, and to be men of great intellect and sound judgment, we cheer tuly give them cur support.
 In regard to candidates for Congress in the other two districts we shall await further developments. when gentlemen whom we may regard as sound and available offer themselves, expect to give them our support.
 While we have long since determined that, du- ring the war, we will support man for office who IS legally llaDle to cOnScrpC uuty III Cue army, "o have also determined that in our choice we would not be influenced by old party associations or per sonal predilections but be governed solely by our belief in the fitness of the candidate for the posi- tion to which he aspires.
 Of Judge Batson and Gen. Royston we believe we can judge without prejudice or partality-be- inc in no wise personally concerned in their cleo tion, and under no more personal obligation to either one of them, than we are to any other gen. tlenan with whom we have had uniformly pleas ant relations. They men of great intellect and exalted patrotism-men of great moral firm ness and the strictest integrity. They have not only proved themselves useful representatives, but have reflected honor upon State and people by their wisdom, and the dignity and purity of their characters They are both gentlemen advanced in years-both of them possessing large experience and neither of them subject to conscript duty.
 If they are reelected to the positions they have already so hohorably filled, no citizen of Arkansas will ever have to regret tiff they are not, they can retire to that private life their many virtues have so long adorned, with consciousness of having redeemed every pledge they gave and discharged every duty they owed.

to be led up to the works, and the Ohio troops sent a petition to Gen. McClernand, begging him not to order them to be led to the slaughter.
 - In, order to exasperate their troops they tell them that Pemberton has killed every federal he could find, and that he fires railroad spikes and poisoned balls at them.
 - Gen. Evans, with his brave Carolinians, is with Gen. Johnston.
 - The federal euuboat, the Cincinnati. was set fire and burned to the waters edge, by shots from the Vicksburg batteries.
 - Grierson started out from Baton Rouge to go to Woodvlle, Miss, to destroy the factory. He was met by Col Logan and driven back.
 - On the Sth of June, (Contederate) Gen Jackson, with his cavalry cut his way into Vicks- burg.
 - The famous gunboat Cincnnatti was de- stroyed on the 25th In all, since the first of May, five gunboats have gone under.
 - There was an arrival at Jackson, from Vicksburg on Sunday, the 7th. Up to that time the total loss was 600 only.

State Historical Society.

A/meeting of prominent citizens was held, last Saturday, at the office of the editor of the Gazette for the purpose of forming State Historical So- /cietv. We have not room for full report of the proceedings, but give the substance of the plan aaopted The officers consist of President, nine Vice Presidents Corresponding Secretary and such local secretaries at least one in each county as the President shall appoint.
 We are now making history, and many of the important events transpiring around us will be for gotten, if some steps are not taken to preserve record of them. The limited number of newspa- pers now published and their curtailed dimensions will not admit of full record being made in them The early history of the State is fading away as the old settlers die, yet much might be saved by committing it to writing. A great drawback is the scarcity of writing paper in some counties, but, for the present, memoranda can be made on scraps of paper and preserved until they can be fairly coped
 The Vce-presidents are expected to write, or procure essays, biographies or narratives relating

ITEMS ANENr VIcKsBuRe.-The federals confess that, in the assault made on the 22d they lost 10000 men. On the 2lst two of the federal gun boats, the Natchez and Nightingale were sunk. The Yankees lost Major Gen. Kerr and Brig. Gems. Burbridge, Lay and Bowman.
 - The federals fire incendiary shot into the city and succeeded in setting fire to some buildings and killing eight women and children.
 - The reason of Grants determination to attempt to take Vicksburg by siege is to be found in the fact that on the 29th, the day after the great repulse, he ordered new ladders to be made and the assault to be renewed. The men refused

Here after when q fund shall have been obtained, rooms and library secured, their duties willbe enlarged The local secretaries are requested to noee impor tant events that transpre. Where the enemy has invaded a county, the secretary should endeavor to get full account of the murders and outrages committed by them; the names of the victims or sufferers and other matters of interest. lhey should, also, get the number of companies raised III each county; the names of the soldiers, when pos sible; their fate the names of all who deserted and of all tories and renegades Let these men know that they will live in history In time, if possible' the society will obtain from Richmond, or else where, complete rosters or rolls of all Arkansas regiments and accounts of their services Officers and soldiers are requested to communicate With the society and should diary be kept of marches, bat tles skirmishes, narratives of prison life, copies of these will be thankfully received
 In addition to current history everything con- corning the early history of the State will be well comed. Many decline to communicate ts9.the req son that they cannot write well enough to have their articles printed and are afraid to see them selves in print. Such communications will be filed, revised, the whole collated and compiled hereafter When the war shall have ceased and printing ma- teria can be obtained steps will betaken to procure a library gallery of Arkansas pictures and suita ble rooms. Publications will be made of all the interesting and valuable material that may be collected. The secretaries will be entitled to copies of all publications by the society. Pictures, sketches and drawings of men and places in Ar kansas; descriptions of interesting localities; in fact, everything concerning our State, will be thankfully received. The president and secretary will be glad to receive letters from any person in terested in tls matter. Their post office address isLittle Rock
