Of any idea that there was any considerable
revolution in the political sentiment Of that
State Notwithstanding he had been publish
log to the contrary for months, We find the fol-
lowing paragraph in his issue of tie 10Th ult:
A recent trip to the Aourishing yillAge Of
Helena gave opportunity OF learning something
as to the Union sentiment Of the people there
abouts, and we mast say, we think it has been
greatly exaggerated. There are soma Union
men among the old eitizsnS of Arkansas, but 4
m,j9rity OF those who stand 6gmly and unequiv-
ccsly by the Government, are men OF Northern
birth, who have settled there since the Feasyai
occupation Until there is a very CREST charge
among the FIRST elsss, We must lock 10 tho army
