The ARKANSAS vIcronY.-The capture Of the
place known as Arkansas Post, on the Arkansas
river. with seven thousand prisoners, nine
pieces Of artillery and immense munitions Of
war, Is the most important federal success in the
southwest since the capture Of Fort Donclson
and its garrison nearly year ago. Its impor-
lance as regards Arkansas can hardly be over
rated. II gives our government complete Mill
tafy possession Of the state, and with ordinary
prudence settles its destiny. II makes some
amends for the failure to capture vicksburg,
and must afford more than ordinary qualification
t. the troops who had been icpul4ed Just before
from that stronghold Of The Mississippi, through
tic incompetence OF generals and tie blundcr-
Ing or officials at Washington. This victory Il
brigh, spot in The history Of the winter cam
~ Gus an oasis in a desert, barren OF useful
results.

10 me People,

Many of YOU have on hand one hppIred,
two hundred, five hundred or q thousand
dollars more money than YOU have any i'm
mediate use for, and you ask, eehat shall /
do NTH it, The other day a farmer came
to Lancaster saying u brought along some
money, thinking to lend it at seven per
cent Why lend j. at seveu, we asked,
when you oan get nine for it. How, said
he. Wc9, we said, 90 take Government
$50 Ponds; they yield you per cent, in
terest IN gold; as gold is selling and likely
TO sell for many a day, the interest Is just
equal to nine per cent. in other money.
Well, said he, had never thought Of this;
but what if | should want to use the mon
ey anv time! Oh, We said the Bonds must
always sell at par, being same as legal ten
der green backs, only III funded or mort
gagged shape, of course may be sold an"
day for their face at any Of the Banks
And then we went on to explain, should
gold continue to rise, ii will be all the same
10 you, as your god income will rise in like
manner-shou!d it fall so will your income
fall, yet you not DO the loser as the nett
interest must stand.at per cent. in gold.
But, it is asked, may not the Government
fail to pay its interest in gold! We an
aver, this is next to impossible. The Coy
ernment collects itsttayif revenue entire in
gold, amounting each year to 10000, 900,
and this is set apart for paying interest on
these 500 Bonds, or SO much thereof as is
need.d. Thus far, the total interest on
government bonds is far below 20,000,0O0
par pear; 50 that Uncle Sam cannot fail to
pav interest in gold so long as the total in
terest is below 7O,000,000.
But what if we should fail in the War (?
Would our Bonds and Green Backs all fail
aud be as nothing? We answer, should
the War for the Union fail, there is moth
inr clearer in our mind than that green
backs or legal tonder money issued by the
government would fall TO almost nothing
bat 50 would all other bank none; SO
would all pronissory notes, all de- all
mortgages and delts Of whatever.l J, in
asmuch as all rests upon the basis o. gov
ernlnent; and as creditors could not refuse
Iogal tender money in payment Of claus
such legal tender money being almost o"
quite worthless in event of failure Of the
War, it is plain to see that state OF bank
ruptcy would follow, such as the world has
never witnessed. But even in such event,
these 500 Government Bonds must stand
good How so? We answer, the goG in
come from tariff customs must still be equal
to interest Accommodations. so that the hold
ers Of these Bonds are the only ones Of all
tho prediting glasses that would receive any
interest These points are so clear amt
self evident that all may see aud understand
them.

A HOME Among the many
home truths told by John NJ. Bolts, in hls
letter to the Richmond Erdntiner, he said
"There is not Que of those who aided TO
bring this war OF, that would do it, if, with
their present experience, it had to be gone
over with again, or if they could have tole.
seen what has followed" This is a literal
fact. There is not a rebel OF any respon-
siblity whatever who dare tell Mr.. Bolts
that be here says that which is not true.
Every man of them knows in his heart
that the calculations upon which the rebel.
lion was started have utterly failed, and
that nothing but the fact that they are in
the fight keeps them in to the fight. Could
things be put back to the condition they
were in on the week when Abraham Lin
coin WAS elected President Of the United
States, the ,,sebel conspirators, from jeff.
Davis down, would sooner walk STRAIGHT
into their graves than have knowingly en-
countered the misery and the Illumination
which this war is entaIling upon them and
The people which trusted them. 1t is not
