brown Windsor Soap, which has been de-
servcdly famous, has now a successful
rival III that manufactured by Colgate d
Co, New York, which is pronounced fully
equal to the imported article. In this
case, as IN others, American ingenuity
allows OF no foreign supremacy.

 CoTToN.-The news in relation to this great staple gives an evidence of the life of the article, and that it still holds and wields powerful influence in the marts of the world. The re- flow of Government Securities to the channels of Wall street carries sufficient sug- gestions with 9them. These bonds that are deemed good by all capitalists, both in Europe and our own country, would not be returned were it not for some reason that is deeper than the mere action of Bulls and Bears. We be- lieve that the grand preparations for war now making on the continent of Europe, and whose vibrations are felt through the old world, has much to do with the depression of American Securities abroad. Heretofore the rule has been, when commotion existed in our country it's people invested in the Securities of others. The rule at present seems obsolete, as Europe ans are holding aloof from our Bonds. The immense capital required to carry on war IS forcing the Governments of Europe into mar ket as borrowers, This diplomatic process causes great stringency, which affects all Se- cuities. The withdrawal of capital from trade and it's direction to war purposes forces upon us shipments of Gold to meet contingents. This has caused rise in the precious metal. The immense shipments of Cotton to Europe to meet importations has depleted the home market, the demand for which, for manufactu- flbS purposes, anu aiso lor lofelgn shipment, causes Cotton to advance and tending upward. The New York dispatches yesterday show an advance of two cents. The noon dispatch said, Cotton firm at 37@39c., and in demand, with prices tending upward. On the receipt of this news, the staple advanced from one to two cents here, and the market throughout the day was active, with prices firm and tend ing upward Holders offered freely and in- quiries were good. Over 400 bales changed hands at the following prices: Good Middling at 33@34c; Middling at 31@32c, and some sales of Bright Middling at 325c; Low Mid ding at 29@30c Good Ordinary at 27@28c; 23 bales repacked at 22c.

ARKANSAS ALMANAC.

WTE PROPOSE TO PUBLISH ANNUALLY NM a work entitled as above, similar to and suggested by the 'Texas Almanac" publi- cation well-known to many citizens of our State The first number will be published soon after the result of the August election, so that the names of the officers elected may be included.
 It will contain the time, and other astrono- mical tables usually found in almanacs; but the leading object of the publication, is to make it a repository of the largest possible amount of useful information in regard to the State ofArkansas, embracing federal statistics relating to- and annual statistics from all De- nartments of the State, and also from all the counties in the State; showing our progress in nonulation wealth, and all the elements of nrosperity. Beyond this, it will be our aim to obtain all the scientific information to be had. from gentlemen of acknowledged scien- fife attainments, in relation to the geological structure, mineral resources, soil, climate and tba aoricultural and commercial advantages, of each county in the State.
 We shall also give sketches of the lives oi the men who have figured prominently Tn the past history of Arkansas. Another import ant object will be, to place on record such facts and incidents in the history of the State, as may be furnished from time to time by living witnesses, or maybe iounu III Popiio oi nriyate documents, or in original correspond ence of former days, that lie scattered Tn va rious parts of the country. We hope our AL manqc will be the means ofrescuing from ob- livion some of the most valuable materials for a future history of Arkansas.
 It shall have nothing of partisan charac- ter, and is open for contributions from att ouarters. It will be useful to all men, of all professions, and may aid, materially, in at tracting immigration to the State. A large edition will be printed, and it will be offered at a price barely sufficient to pay expenses or publication.
 Newspapers in the State friendly to the publication, are requested Co notice

We want more white people here. There is room for them, Our people feel the need of them, and will cordially welcome them, and they will add to the productive wealth of the State.

Partisan Fury,

The revolutionary proceedings of the
present Congress are causing men to reflect
very seriousl y, for. as the Journal of Com
me,ce remarks, no thoughtful man who
loves is country and has any desire for
the perpetuity Of its free institutions, can
fail to look with alarm upon the recent de-
velopement of that baneful party spirit,
against which the warnings of the immor-
tai WASHINGTON were So earnestly direct.
ed. The evident attempt of few leaders
of the majority in Congress to secure COM
plete control of the government for their
own selfish purposes, and to compel, under
terror of the party lash, all the more decent
of their compeers to share with them the
responsibility OF such criminal ambition, is
evidently subject for the most serious ap-
prehension. We need not enumerate the
steps which have been taken to this end,
for there has been no attempt at disguise.
The most violent expressions of hostility to
the President were used at the recent party
caucus, with so little reserve that they have
been fully reported for general publication;
and purpose to intevere with the proper
liberty of the Chief Executive has been de-
family announced and vociferously applaud
ed, This has been accompanied by the
resignation of portion of the Cabinet, and
the hostile array of all who sympa:hize with
the movement against the recognized head
of the government. We cannot believe
that the mass of honest men throughout
the country, whatever may be their party
affiliations, will sanction such action as this,
1t is revolutionary, even if not intended.
and may, if unchecked, lead to such excite
ment that single spark shall kindls anew
the blaze of civil war.

Resolved, That we endorse tho nomination

cause he is man of integrity and statesman
Of experience, and approves the principles we
advocate. We call upon our late companions
IN arms in this State to rally to bis support,
for bis election will be an endorsement OF the
cause for which we fought and bled, while
hIs defeat will be defeat Of the cause of the

Rssolred, That Radicals in Congress, pro.
Tossing to speak for the majority Of the peo-
pie, have recently testified their preference
for the negro by appropriating money to sup
port him in idlenr SIS. by the pay ment TO him
in idlen"ss, by the payment to him OF bo1n
ty Of $500, and their reputation of the white
soldier and bis claims bv the passage OF
bounty bill allowing but 800 to him, with
out even provision spr'priating money toI
the payment Of the same, thus disregardlng
his faithful and patriotic services, demon
strates to the country their belief in The as
ser,ion that The negro bears the palm.

our sincere thanks to the Hons. Edgar CowaI
