DEs ARC, ARKANSAS, SEPT. 8, lse6.
SCHOOLS.

This subject has been repeatedly alluded to in our columns but such is it's import ance that we do not think we err in call ing attention to it again. We have 1T Des Arc situation, for a good schoo that cannot be surpassed in the State--and such is our population that tho necessity for schools of established character is un deniable. True it is that we have now in successful operation schools, under the management of teachers whose ability can. not be questioned. But teachers and scholars will not make school-we must have a school house, we need it, the times and circumstances demand it, and if we intend to build up our town, we must have it--not little 10 by 20 shanty, but a school house that will do it's builders honor and reflect credit upon our town. That we must educate our children the most ignorant will admit that this can be done more easily and with more security to the morals of the youth, at home than abroad will be readily admitted. Taking into consideration the rapid growth of our town and its increased population, wisdom die tates that we enter at once into measures for the establishment of fschools, the build ing of such a house as will meet the wants of the community and conduce, to it's in- tcrest. This want is being partly met by those great benefciaries of society-she Masons--who have entered into arrange ments for the building of house suitable for Lodge and school purposes, but such arc their circumstances that they cannot without great embarrassment, erect the house themselves and finish it as 1t should ba done. The time is now for those who have at heart the interest of education to put their shoulder to the wheel and push with all their might. We repeat it, we need a good school house, and if the people of Des Arc and vicinity will exert them selves we can have it. Let us move in the matter and move quickly.

THE RADICALS.

Events of the past few months have famed into living famc the fire of radi- cal indignation The Philadelphia con yention calls forth from Wendall Philips, the radical high Priest, letter in which every body that has ever raised voice against tanaticism and wrong, is scathed without mercy So too from Maine to Missouri can be heard tho feeble vail of gadhy politicians and hungry hangers on, opposing every thing, fighting every thing, hating every thing, that is honest and man ly. As the conservative party north are laboring hard to unite the sections and bring about peace and prosperity, so are the radicals laboring to disrupt the union and SOW the seed of discord, that strife cand confusion may follow. Not satisfied with Tidiculing what honest men have done in their wisdom for the good of their country; they must needs have their conventions, in which their Forneys, Douglasses, Fletch- CTS and Brownlows may case their con sciences by abusing good men, and pub fishing to the world their own foolishness and knavery. Poor fools their "sands are numbered"-a few more days of foaming rage; a few more bitter denunciations of President Johnson and his policy, and then comes the end; the end of party pow CT the end of oppression; the end of treach- cry. Good men see this they know that radical supremacy is built upon tue sand the prejudice of passion-that the winds of truth are blowing, and soon the struc- turc must fall, and great will be the fall but the people will rejoice.

Gen. Beamegard Prince, The Par is correspondcntofthe New Orleans Times, says:
 He is still with us, or. rather he is in Paris. having been called thither again, as understand it, to consider his refusal of the offer of supreme military command from the Maldo- Walachia Government. It is given out that the Trench Emperor, who is all powerful with the Romans, is no longer adverse to the Generals accept ancc of the position.
 As to the Generals own way of think ing or intentions concerning the matter wait and see. Certain it is, the Romans are most anxious to have him, and in their eagerness have made him very tempting ofers--the title of Prince, to rank next to Hospodar, the sum of S200,000 down in hard cash, prineely salary, and the supreme absolute command of all the mili- tary forces and retinue of the ten princi- palities. If the General should accept, his companions in arms could, and doubt less would, furnish q body of officers that would prove invaluable to the Romans in the event of war.

Fruits of the Philadelphia Convention

After long civil war, which was wagc9 with unusual ferocity and vindiotiveuess, we could not have expected greater una nimity of sentiment than that which mark ed the late convention. We must submit to some difference of opinion with our friends, or become the sport of the reyo- lutionists and the vassals of freedmen.
 If the principles of the conservative party are acceptable to the northern peo- pie we shall very soon be restored to all of our political rights.
 In spite, therefore, of the character of some of the resolutions, the people of the south have every reason to congratulate themselves upon the complete snccess of the first national convention which has been held for six years. The position of our delegates was a most embarrassing one; but the policy of reticence and caution was so obvious that we rejoice that did noth- ing which was calculated to produce dis senslon.

"THE FINGER OF PROVIDENCE IS UNER. RING, AND WILL GUIDE YOU SAFELY THROUGH
 'THE PEOPLE MUST BE TRUSTED, AND THE COUNTRY WILL BE RESTORED"
 How sublime has been the faith of An drew Johnson in the ultimate, honest judg- ment of the people The above sentences are extracts from the telegraphic dispatch he sent to Philadelphia during the sitting of the late Convention. 'Fhe people must be trusted" He felt and still feels certain that the judgment which they will pro- nounce upon the issues now dividing the country, will be such as to bring harmony, peace and prosperity. His policy will be sustained Ifnot, there is noroad to peace but through blood and tears again.-[Ay- alanche

DISABLED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.

If the members of the next General Assembly wish to do something that will entitle them to lasting gratitude, let them adopt measures for the relief of disabled Confederate soldiers, who are destitute, and without help in the world, save that of charitable friends The disabled sol dicrs of the Union armies are literally pro vided for by the Government in the way of bounties, exemptions, etc. They are en- titled to it by every principle of honor and humanity. But the poor Confederate sol dier is none the less entitled to assistance from some source. That assistance must come from the States, and the more fortu- nate citizens. We sec that the Governor of Georgia was authorized by the Iegisla ture of that State to advertise for bids for making artificial limbs for the indigent Georgia soldiers This is an example worthy of imitation There are hundreds of disabled soldiers in this State; many of them homeless, and living here and there as best they can, too manly and indepen- dent, even in their maimed condition, to become city paupers and beggars. They might be contenied and happy if home was provided for them, where they could have facilities for working at some trade suited to their condition
 The Soldiers Home, in the Northen States, isa common institution, and is liber- ally furnished by State and individual en- terprise. We are not so able to provide for our noble fellows, but we can do some thing towards it. The claims of justice and humanity alike demand it. We shall continue to urge the subjectupon the mem- bers of our next General Assembly,

4 Federal Solder Turned to Stoae.- We learn from the Mobile Advertiser and Register, that while some laborers were oxhuming the bodies inferred in the Pot ter's field of the new grave yard in that city, one of the collins broken and reveal ed to the astonished gaze of the grave diggers the remains of federal soldier per feetly potrified, and looking as natural as life. What was further remarkable, he had not been buried more than nine months. A new coffin was procured, and this remarkable image of natures work manships recommtted to its mother earth in the soldiers burying ground. Several prominent gentlemen of Mobile visited the spot and examined the petrifcd war rior, and they testify that he had turned to solid stone, with all the features and limbs as natural as life. The ground where he was buried is very low Md damp most of tho year

The publication of the fact, says the Memphis Bulletin, that suit has been commenced by Smithson the banker, a resident of the District of Columbia, against Secretary Stanton, for damages arising from his arrest, confinement, im- prisonment and conviction before mili- tary commission at Baltimore, is apparent ly making more trouble for Mir Stanton. It is understood that since the publication of the legal documents in the ease, another suit has been brought on similar ground, and there is a prospect that the Secretary will be overwhelmed with suits of this na- turc. It was intended to have kept the matter quiet until the case was brought on for trial, but correspondent getting hold of copies of the papers, thought them of public interest and published them.

Murders in Pope Couny.-Morris Will Hams, Sheriff of Pope county, was killed at his residence, in Dover last week.
 About the same time, but our informant did not know whether on tho same night or not, Gaine Ray was killed at his resi- dcnce in Gum Log. Two men, strangers, called at his house soon after dark, for sup p T, Ray was absent at the time, but re- turned while the strangers were eating. On his entering the room, they told him that they Chad come for him." that he was a bad man and they were going to kill him; and after few words, they shot and killed him.
 Both of the murdered men had formerly belonged to the Sd Arkansas Cavalry, and we learn there is considerable excitement in the county in regard to the matter. A meeting of citizens, irrespective of party was held at Russelviile on Saturday last, to devise means for putting stop to deed of lawless violence, and to ferret out the mur- derers of Williams and Ray We hope they may be successful and that all cause of ill-feeling among the citizens of the county will be removed. - irantoyrdph,

The Presidents OUatton - President Johuson's Western trip is grand popular ovation. The Radical papers sheer and fret, but the people throng the railroad depots by tens of thousands to welcome the Defender of the Constitution And they do not rend the air with hearty cheers simply because it s "the President" they greet. It is because. the President stands as the chief representative in this country of civil liberty. They welcome him as one who, with the Constitution in one hand and the laws in the other is nobly fighting the battles of aN the people, knowing no North no South, no East, no West. This is why the people throw their hats in the air and hurrah for Andrew Johnson = Memphis Argus
