DECREASING THE ARMY.--The
War Department is engaged in thin
ing out the army ranks in manner
quite as brisk and rapid, though not
as deadly and destructive to the rank
and file, as was the decimating pro,
| cess Of war and disease. Orders for
the disbanding of troops continue to
be issued by the Department. One
of the most recent of these orders,
calls for the mastering out of service
volunteers, white and colored, infan-
try, cavalry, and artillery, in the
various military departments, their
services being no longer required.
The following are the white troops
mustered out: Connecticut Eight
and Eleventh Infantry; the Thirty
ninth Illinois; One Hundred and
Thirtieth Indiana Second New
Hampshire; Forty first, Fifty fourth
and One Hundred and Third New
York; Sixty-seventh Ohio; Forty
seventh and One Hundred and
Mghty-eighth Pennsylvania; Ninth
Vermont; and the First Virginia.
: The following are the colored regi-
ments mustered out: United States
I'd artillery; Batteries F and [ of
the I'd light artillery; batteries @
and d of the 4th heavy artillery, the
Sd cavalry, and the following United
States infantry regiments The 1th,

THE ARKANSAS CONVENTION.
STRONG SPEECH FROM GEN. SHERMAN

A STRONG SPEECH FROM GEN. SHERMAN
A convention to take into consider
alton the political affairs of Arkansa
were recently convened, and addressed
by General Sherman as follows, du
ring his late visit to Little Rock:
Gentlemen-Yov are fully informed
of the reasons why am here, which
is by special invitation of your com
mittee. am military man, aud as
such it is not expected or desired that
| shall engage in any political discuss
ions or give you any advice politically
We military men dislike to mingle in
political movements. We are sworn
to obey the Constitution and laws,
and in this country the laws govern,
have not stopped to inquire by
what authority you come together,
nor do care; for citizens of any
neighborhood, county or State, have
right to meet together and consult
as to the best mode of promoting the
interests of the community, but be
sure you represent the sentiments of
the people. Think you ought to be
very careful that YOU reflect the opiu-
ion of the whole people of Arkansas.
| know the people Of the South, and
| know no Southern gentlemen would
willingly or Intentionally represent
himself to be what be is not. But |
understand you are citizens of Arkan-
sas, and delegates Of the people, there
fore you have right to be here to
discuss matters of interest to your.
selves to discuss your grievances, if
you have any, and to petition the
President or Congress for redress, and
| believe they will do you justice.
But you have more important
work. Tits not political. Your State
needs attention in other directions, |
come here from distance, and l tell
you find you far behind all other
parts of the country. Give your i'm
mediate attention to things which will
make your State inviting to strangers
to come and settle among you. You
have not fifty miles Of good road in
Arkansas improve these; make trav-
cling easy from point to point. You
are behind your sister States because
you have not adopted any system of
internal improvement, or developed
any of your vast resources.
You are welcome back into the
Union, which is to-day stronger than
ever, and the United States is now
more highly honored abroad than
heretofore, and beloved at home. But
you think you have not all the rights
you are entitled to, yet you now have
more rights and privileges, under ez-
listing circumstances, than you would
have in any civilized country except
America, Had You done as you did
in this land, under the bloody flag of
Great Britain, Or of the tri-color Of

meeting of this convention the best

What is right and wrong / do not

what is lawful. Confess to the laws.
This is all we, as military men, can
sanction. Law is our guide.

you the propriety of every citizen
helping his neighbor. The country
is poor, and you can all do something
towards building it up and restoring it
to prosperity. Cultivate the soil !; set
your plantations in order make every
possible improvement; get your local
and county affairs in a good shape.
Such work will be far more impor-
tant and beneficial than whether you
shall vote this year or next. or not un-
til two or three years hence. There
need be no hurry about this political
organization bide your time help
build up the country, and never mind
about voting for the present. | be-
lleve all will work right in a few years.
What you want in this State is work,

and other resources drvelop those

little while.
With one million acres Of good soil,
fine rivers, yet your population is
thinner than in South Carolina, that
you have been taught to call uncivl

roads. and do ali you can to make
your State attractive to the emigrant.
You are behind in all this. Now 90

immense size-measuring 38I inches
