Tn Dead Duck.

WREN the dead duck was alive, last sum
mer, he thus wrote of President johnson,
whom he now so feroely abuses and assaila:
"The most conspicuous defender and apos-
tel, and the fitness, the unselfshness, and the
high-souled devotion of the Chief Magistrate
It seemed as if. when thrown upon what
appeared the bed of death, when he could
scarcely speak. or eat. or sleep, Providence
had so purified as almost to inspire his mighty
intellect. And when he was able to move
and articulate, he surprised those who crowd
ed to his.couch by the simplicity, the breadth,
the vigor, and the comprehensiveness Of his
views.
al shall never forget these words, nor the
manner in which he uttered them: Time
alone is necessary to heal our wounds These
Southern. people will come back in peace and
obedience. On our part, having proved our
strength. it is right that we should now prove
our wisdom. Patience. forbearauce, magma
nimity--these are the instrumentalities
which, backed by unlimited and uneEampled
material forces, will re-establish the Republic
on enduring foundations "

THADDEUs STEVENS Harper's Weekly
which has hitherto advocated the peculiar
politics of Thaddeus Stevens with much BIT
terness, has recently shifted its ground, and
gives in late issue the following sketch Of
the leader of the Radicals:
He CMr. SteVens) is strictly revolution
ary leader; reckless, unsparing vehement,
vindictive, loud for the rights of conquerors,
intolerant of opposition. and as absolutely
incapable OF fine discrimination and generous
Judgment as a locomotive Of singing. OF a
pleasant humor and personal kindness, he is
no more fitted for the task of reconstruction
which devolves. upon Congress than a jovial
blacksmith to repair watch, or butcher
to take up hidden arteries and sundered veins
in the very region OF the heart" Yet Con
gress which is undoubtedly one Of the abl-
est that was ever assembled, has quietly al
lowed itself to be almost puppet in the
hands of such man and at such time
The consequence is that Mr. Stevens crude
and rash talk is supposed to be the voice of
Congress.
For journal that has 20 distinguished its
self by its rampant partisanship, this is say
ing a good deal OF the chief mischiefmaker
of Congress.

Arkansas Railroads.

.. The Fort Smith Herald, of the 2ls
inst, has most sensible article upon the
subject Of building Railroads in Arkan
sas. The Herald truly observes tha,
Railroads in Arkansas at the present
time, can be only built by foreign capital
our citizens have not the means. ST.
Louis and Memphis both have great in.
terests In obtaining the immense trade
which hereafter must grow up in West
ern Arkansas and the Indian country
st. Louis appears to have awakened
somewhat to her interest in this respect,
Memphis sleeps. We copy the conclud-
ing portion Of the article. Let Mem
phis take warning in time:
lt" The only hope for railroad at sPrcs-
ent to Fort Smith, is one to connect us
with st. Louis. That city is extending
her commercial arms in every direction,
andis determined to draw all the west
ern and southern trade to her embrace.
There is capital there, and energy and
determination TO carry through every
thing to take trade there. This region OF
country has long been in market, and is
only waiting for those who wish to OBJ
tain the trade to come and occupy the
land. Memphis has been called on time
and again to aid in building the road
from Little Rock to this place, but that
city has done nothing to secure the
trade Of the Arkansas valley, which ap-
pears, naturally to belong to that place.
We fear that Memphis, from her apathy,
will let the whole Of this trade pass out
of her hands, and fall into the hands Of
St. Louis. If she ever intends to make
an effort to secure this trade, now is the
time, tie accepted time, or she will be cut
off entirely from it by the energy of the
Of the people of st. Louis, who are
pushing forward her roads to the bor-
der Of Arkansas.

The Flood.

The farmers of our County have been seri-
ously injured BY the rains which have fallen.
MANY have had entire fences submerged 9TH
ers have lost many hundred rails, and mad
acres of corn washed up. a few had planted
cotton. and we fear they, too, will suffer- more
or less. Cotton requires sun, sun, all the time,
and the seed rot easily. Frog Bayou and Lees
Creek, are said to have been higher than they
have ever been known. The loss sustained
by the farmers on the creek, cannot be easily
estimated. 1t is too late to make rails. with
out detriment to the crop. They will be COM
PEELED, many Of them, to plant first, and then
fence afterwards. There being but few hogs
and cattle in the country, their crops will be
in little danger. This is one time that destitu-
ton will be beneficial. We are glad to see
the farmers are determined to repair the in
Jury they have sustained, and seem, general
" cheerful. This is good sign and we sin
cerely hope they may succeed in making
large crops yet. On them we depend, and
we feel confident we will not hope in vain.
The river has been veryhigh, and some fears
were entertained of overflow, ,"~but as It is
now falling, river-bottom planters feel bet

PARDoNs.-A correspondent of the Fort
Smith Herald, who is, also, a correspondent OF
our paper, and who is entirely reliable gives
list of Arkansas citizens that have beer
pardoned through the interest Of Judge TIB-
BELTS. The list embraces forty-two names
the only one mentioned from this County i.
Solomon Basham, ESQ., a worthy and goot
citizen. We notice in the list, as from Vel
County. the name Of James NJ. Brown. which
we are inclined to believe means the gentle
man of that name formerly Sheriff of this
County, and who moved FROM here to Yell
soon after the commencement of the war.

A SUMMARY OF VILLAINIEs.-An exchange
says of what the Radicals demand and which
they have embodied in the Civil Rights bill
For the sake of three millions Of negroes
forty millions of white people have already
been involved in civil war; half Of great
nation has been crippled and desolated, hea-
Wy debt has been placed upon the shoulders
of our citizens; blood has been poured out
like water; precious lives have been ruthless
ly sacrificed; but all this is not enough. Now
for the sake Of three millions Of negroes, the
white people of this country are asked to
submit to the abrogation of the Constitution
to the exclusion of eleven States from the
Union; to the supercedure of the State judi
ciary; to the petty tyranny of irresponsible
persons paid to prefer complaints, whether
justly or unjustly. More than this; we are
asked to give the semi-civilized negro prefer
ence over the intelligent immigrant who
lands upon our shores; to punish a parent
who refuses to allow a negro to marry his
child; to cast into prison any judge who de-
cided the dicta of Congress unconstitutional
to submit to social association perfectly re-
voting to all sensible persons, and to a ma
tonal future like that of Mexico or of the
mongrel South American Republics.

ern Arkansas. 4 full attendance OF al

desired. We hope some plan may De
t agreed upon that will insure the speedy
, completion of this branch road. Wedo
. not hesitate to say that we are in favor
of the road being built from Little Rock
to this place for reasons obvious TO ALL
If commenced at the Rock, every mile
can be made available as fast as it is con-
structed. Rolling stock can be put on,
and by means of platform cars the labor
reconstruction can be lightened and accel-
Grated. On the other hand, if the work
is commenced here, the road will be SLOW
ly built, and few capitalists will have
much confidence in the project Cars
cannot be built here, and must, of course
be brought up the river at great expense,
and the proyerbial uncertainty OF water
navigation here, renders it doubtful as to
the time when they can be brought up.
The road will be worthless until ears are
put on, and every day the full equipment
of the road is delayed after it is graded,
is drawback to it, because it undernines
its credit abroad Another reason for it
not being commenced here is that the
iron will also come by boat, and its de-
livery depends upon all the contingencies
of our faithless river. On the other hand
it could be brought to the other end of
the road speedily and certainly, so that
no time would be lost after the ties are
laid. Railroads are suggestive OF speed
and anything after the manner of slow

Of railroads men think faster, work faster

enterprises. Western Arkansas cannot
build road alone, and we must look fol

rifce our private feelings for time any
