It. comes in the gsrb of necessity or duty to

afhliation with the enemy, of taking the oath
OF allegiance, of making terms with them, con-
ciliating their favor, and asking their protec-
tlon. We fear that for our people more than

H1- Hon. A. H. Garland, member of Con-
gress from the Little Rock District, has issued
in pamphlet form an address to his constitu-
ents. We have not been furnished with copy,
but have lately met with it published at length
In She Arkansas Patriot, and have read it with
pleasure. 1t is a review of the principal legis-
lation Of the last Congress, written in digni-
fed style, free from all mere political stuff,
and showing an earnest purpose to scquaint
the people with the views and motives which
prompted Congress in its legislation. The
Funding Act, the Tax Bill, the Impressment
Act, the Exemption Act and the Resolution.
upon Retaliation, are taken up separately, and
their wisdom fully indicated. We think this
series of legislation, all composing one system,
highly creditable to the craftsmanship and pa
triotism of Congress. If not perfect (as We
suppose it cannot be) it commends itself to our
minds as the best that could be devised; and
what errors may be in it are not patent to
reason, but must be developed by time.
Without pretending to interfere in any
manner with the choice of the people of Mr..
Garland's district, we may be allowed to hope,
in accordance with our expressed views of the
safest policy for the times, that Hon. A. II.
Garland will be returned to Congress from his
district without excitement or political discus
sion.

Tur, ENrwy Iu uARKANsAS.-The trne

The ENEMY IN ARKANsAs.-The trne
Democrat Bulletin of the 18th says; 1t
was reported here yesterday that the fed
erals were invading Arkansas; that Z reg
iments of infantry were at GAINESVILLE, 10
Greene county one regiment at Doctor
Croft's and another at Jonesboro, 10
Craighead county. 1t is ascertained that
they are being reinforced at Helena.
We received q letter last night from
Surgeon Moore Of Burbridge's command, J,
dated at camp Russell, July 22d, in
which he says.
THE enemy are advascing from Iron
ton, Mo-, have crossed St. Francis river
at Chalk Sluff-are 1900 strong. 500
infantry, 20 pieces of artillery are moving
down Crawley's Ridge. Parties Of feder-
al scouts are annoying our front near
Dopiphin and Van Buren. They will
probably invade Arkansas with force
Of $1,000"
The advance on Little Rock, il temp
ted, will not be in that quarter, but up
White river. These cavalry are on q
stealing, destroying expedition, and will
be driven back.
The Little Rock Gazette of the 1st says:
FROM NORTH AKKANsAs.-Ouri infor-
nation from the Northern part of the
State, is TO the effect that about fifteen
hundred Of the enemy are advancing as If
to come down on the western side of
Black river. Another force not by any
means as large as has been represented
by our home sensation mongers, is repor-
ted as having entered the State at Chalk
Bluff, the head of crowley's Ridge -
There il nothing to induce the belief that
a serious invasion of the State is intended.
Most probably the move j. to procure for
age, which is doutless, exhausted in
South east Missoiri /; or, it may be raid
for the porpose Of destroying crop. and
other property.
Since writing the above . gentleman
has arrived direct from Pocahontas, who
says that, when he left, there was no news
Of any Federal force moveiug in that
direction; and an officer from Crowley e
Ridge reports that the Federal force in
that region has been greatly overrated
that il amounted to but few hun
dred men.
We are permitted to make the follow
ing extract of letter from Fort Smith:
Gen. Cooper's fight with the Feds was
small affair and was we'll managed SO far
as the retreat was concerned. He lost nc
property of any consequence, and only q
few men. His loss in killed, wounded
and missing, will probably reach Is high
as 125 or I50.

Wednesday morning the 29th, aud bring
the latest intelligence. We are indebted
to Mr.. Block for late Eastern new papers
amongst them the mobile Evening
News" of The 2lst inst, from which we
make extracts.
They report all on the other side hope
full and buoyant. 1t was only on reaching
the Mississippi river and this sioe, that
they met with anything like dependency.
The enemy we're entirely defeated 10
their attack upon Charleston, ard have
been driven from all their positions on
land, except small portion Of Morris
Island, from which they cannot make any
successful attack upon our works For
the present Charleston is out Of danger.
They report Bragg at Chattanooga,
having heard nothing Of the movement of
his army bhck upon Knoxville and At.
lanta. These were Yankee accounts, and
no doubt fal.e. Gen. Hardss has been
transferred to Johnston's command, and
Gen. ID. ii. Hill to the army in Tennes-
see as his successor in the command of
his old corps. Gen. Hardee has gone to
Gen. Johuston without his com m.nand il
seems, and the rumor Of Johnston having
been reinforced by Hardee, has that foun.
datiou. Our informants lkard from a
colonel in the Confederate service in Mis-
sippi, that Johnston having been rein-
forced from some quarter, advanced upon
Grant again FROM Chunkey Station. That
Grant had rapidly withdrawn across the
Big Black to Vicksburs, and that our
army re.occupied jackson.
Lee has Withdrawn his army to the
neighborhood of Winchester. his move
ment upon Pennsylvania was entirely
successful. He brought out an enormous
amount os provisions and army supplies,
which the Confederacy would have been
embarrassed to furnish. The loss of the
enemy during this expedition is estimated
in killed, wounded and prisoners, at
10000. Our own loss At $1,000.
They heard of no transports nor troops
about Napoleon, for the purpose Of invad-
ing this department, as has been reported.
They were within eight miles Of Napoleon,
and would doubtless have heard omethiDg
of them if they had been there.

sueakiug submission, and efforts to con-
ciliate the enemy. When our indepen-
dence is established, il will draw . line
forever between them and others who may
have been found faithful in adversity.
But to tho extract:
at is a sad fate, and we do not deny
it, for helpless women to be driven out
from their plundered homes, and sent
wandering into'a wilderness waste with
their fatherless children. We do admi {
that it is an evil day for any land-the
day that sees it flooded by hordes of such
barbariaus as the Yankees. We Jo give
to the Yankee nation ali the credit that
is due for being able TO torture the inno-
cent and bully the unprotected; and, IN :
doubtedly, throughout Tennessee and Mis-
.issippi, and Western Virginia, for ages
to come, mothers will claso their little
ones closer TO their hearts at the very
name of Yankee. If this be fame, they
will have it; if to avow it be dependency
let them make the most Of it!
"DespondeDcy! Why, if a more ip-
tense hatred and seorn Of towards, a
fercer resolution to endure all and dare
all, and perish to the last man 10 the last

MoRGAN's indiana RAID.-This is de-
cidedly the boldeat exploit Of the war.
Already Morgan has accomplished feat
before which, considering all the circum
stances. the raid of Grierson sinks into
insigui6cance. Before entering Indiana,
as reported to the Chattanooga Rebel Of
the 18th. he had fight at Mumfordsville
on the Sth He is said to have killed and
wounded 400 Of the enemy, and captured
5000, besides burning the Green River
bridge. His own loss was about 14O
Thence he moved North, and is next
heard of at Brandenbury crossing the
Ohio, where he captured Two steamboats,.
According TO tie Louisville Journal, he
went over with 1900 men and ten pieces
of artillery, Including two howitzers-the
whole under the command of Morgan and
Brasil Duke Mex. we have the accounts
published in our last, Of his operations
about Salem aud Corydon. Thence he
seems to hive passed eastward up the
Ohio, burning bridges, tearing up the
track of the railroads, aud taking fine
horses, bat otherwise respecting private
property, being all the while pursued BY
Gen. Hobson, with large force, raised
for the emergency. The whole Of lndi-
ana was terribly excited. aud the Cover
nor called for so. 600 volunteers. He turns
up soon on the Ohio line at Harrison,
only 81 miles from Cincinnati. The whole
city is in CONSERVATION. Martial law is
declared. Morgan burns bridges behind
him, and sweeps along back Of the city,
still eastward up the Ohio. He is fol.
lowed closely by land, and gunboats
along the river, until he il last heard Of
at Pomeroy. far above Msysville. Ac.
cording to the Northern accounts, small
portion of his men have succeeded in eros
sing to the Virginia side on fiat boats
The balance remain in Ohio. Cincinnati
dispatches of the 10th report the capture
of about 500 Of them, and the others
being broken into squads. Basil Duke is
said to be captured.
The accounts leave Morgan in the
tightest place he has yet been in, but we
have confidence in his luck, and his fit
ness for the emergency. We do not be
lieve the Northern account Of his losses
to their full extent. Considering the
great length of his raid, aud the thick
population Of the country, aud TIE vicinity
of SO many large cities, it is wonderful.

Richmond, Va, June is, 1863.
An officer Of the Quartermaster Generals
Department Is assigned to tie special charge
Of the subject. A controlling Qusrtermsster
with the rank of Major is assigned TO each
State, and Post Quartermaster with the rank
of Captain to each Congressional district, when
il is practicable 10 collect the tenth. Each
Congressional district will be eubdivided by
the Post Quartermaster in charge of il into
sections fer the convenient delivery by the tax

the depot to be established in each section.
Before these depots can be established or
ths assessments required under the law be
made, the crops Of small grain, hay and the
clip Of wool for the present year, will have
