From Arkansas-Spirit of the People.

The Memphis Bulletin of the 10th,
mentions the arrival at that city of the
steamer Rose Ham6Leton, from Duyal's
Bluff, on White river. Ark, bringing ad-
vices as late as the 7th. 1t is stated that
up to that date there had been no fight
ing of any consequence; that the Con-
federate commanders had massed their
forces on the Arkansas river and on
Bayou Motaire, and that it was thought
they would not risk a fight in that posi-
ton, but fall back to a chain of hills in
Saline county, northwest of Little Rock.
The Federals find but little sympathy
among the Arkansians. The Bulletin is
forced to ADMIT this, and says: Persons
from the army of the Arkansas, repre-.
sent that the feeling among a c%onsidera-
BILE portion of the citizens is intensely
hostile to u people. A party who went
out from Brownville on a foraging expo
ditisn, offered the citizens greenbacksfor
delicacies they, however, refused'it with
dis1ain, declaring that they would rather
take brswn paper. Confederate script
was eagerly taken by them.
A gentleman who left Little Rock on
the 9th reports that eighteen hundred
indians, armed and in full war paint, had
entered. that city. General Smith had
relays Of horses from the city to Arka-
delphia, some ninety miles. He says
Prices army was about thirty thousand
strong.
On the same authority it is stated that
the planters who are permitted to haul
their cotton to Memphis to procure fsmi-
~ supplies, are required to pay over to
the military authorities there one hun
bred dollars Der bale for the privilege.

Prices IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-The Comr
missioners of Appraisement for the State
of South Carolina have published a list
of prices to be paid by the Government in
that State. The price of bacon is 81 to
rs cents per h.; beet, nett, % cts, gross
ls cora and meal 81 per bushel -four
So to $11 peEhundred, sorghum molasses
s. per gallon, fresh pork IS ets., coast
salt $l5 perAushel, &c. There is some
fairness in these prices, and We venture
to say that they afford the producer re-
J munerative profit.

The PROGRAMME CnANGED.-The Char
lotto Democrat has learned, that week
before last some one gave out notice in :
Lincoln and CASTOR counties that " a pub
lie meeting" commonly known as peace
or tory m~eetings) would be held on Sat.
urday the 10Th ult, at a place called
Cherryville a: the head of the Will, Char.
& Ruth Railroad. On the appointed
day a large number of persons assembled,
but no one could be found who was wills
ing to engage in such q meeting as had
been previously proposed-no one would
father the call-therefore those present
organized a meeting friendly to the Con-
federate cause and passed resolutions to
sustain the Government and submit to
no terms for peace that did not secure
the complete independence of the Con-
federate States. The programme, in that
instance, was considerably changed.
The true men of each county where a
~faetious meeting is called, ought to at
tend and inform those disposed to hold
such a meeting of the evils and trouble
which will result from such a course.
and point cut the danger of following
the teachings Of a few bad men who are
disposed to submit to Yankee rule and
see the South enslaved. In. that way
much coed might be affected. !
We are gratihed 70 learn that many of
those who heretofore participated in fac
tious meetings, are quite sick Of such al.
fairs. They see that these meetings on
ly encouraged toryism and deserters, and,
as a consequences, caused the Govern
or to. order out the militia and homs
guard to preserve order and arrest de
s~erters. If no f~actious meetings had
been held, there would have been No
necessity for calling the militia to ARM
in certain counties.
And we are also grati6ed to learn thai
the people en- masse in the %surroundin,
counties are turning out to catch the de-
s~erters who are providing about robbins
and committing depredations on pcxser.
ty.. They are determined, also, to rid
their sections of few disloyal persons
who have been instrumental in produc-
ing the trouble. 1t is time for true mer
everywhere to be active. A little ener
gy and vigilance now will prevent diff
culties and mischief hereafter.

ExAGGERATIoNs.-Ssm extravagant req
ports were in circulation here some DAYS
since, relative to some yankee cavalry
from East Tennessee making a raid into :
Yancsy county in this State, plundering
plantations, stealing negroes, &C., among i.
them that of Gel. Isaac Avery. Later
advlces, however, show the depredations
nave greatly exaggerated, and what was
done, was probably the work of a few
tories and deserters. They are taking
steps to rout out all such from the noun
tains and other counties infested by them,
to arrest such as can be caught or shot,
and drive the balance to take refuge in
the lines Of their brother yankees.

Mutual Relief.

Wepublish below, the proceedings ola
Town meeting held on the 28th ult. The
arrived at, was to raise afand to pro-
cure food and fuel for our citizens at moder-
ate rates. Committees were appointed to
procure subscriptions, and VIC understand
the prospect is good for raising a very
large fund. The plan is to supply first
the INDECENT and needy at the original
cost and necessary charges for the arti-
cles, and then all other citizens, in limi-
ted quantities for their immediate family
use, on the same terms. Those unable
to buy will be supplied from the d0nG.
ton fund.
By such a combination, wood and pro-
visions can be procured at fair rates, a
supply will always be at hand, and spec
uiation and extortion be put down. Of
course every citizen will subscribe as
mdehss he may be able, to make the
fund as large as possible. Persons who
have not been called on, can apply to the
Committeeman in their respective wards.

town, Hillsbor6', has been visited with a.
very destructive fire. On the morning Of
the 9th, the residence of Mr.. Samuel
Bishop was discovered in flames which
rapidly communicated with the surroun-s
ding buildings, until ten or twelve were
wrapped in flames, and finally entirely ,
consumed. The property destroyed en-
braced the residences of Samuel Bishop
and Louis Webb. Qormerly of Newbern,)
and Mr.. Farthing; the saddle, harness
and shoe-making establishment of d. D.
Phillips, the stores of Massrs. Strayhorn1

Store, Hayes & Faucet,'s sho.-making
and Mr.. Lynch's watch-repairlng estib-1
lishments, the Post Office, the barber
shop, and several small outbuildings.-1
The loss is estimated to be about $50
600. The contents of the Post Office,
stores and dwellings, principally, were
saved, except in the cases of Messrs. Bish-
OPP and Farthing--they lost everything
they possessed, not even saving a suit Of
clothing. Some of the family of Mr..

from the flames, and came near perishing.
