AN ELOQUENT ExTRACT.-The fol-
lowing is from a speech delivered by
the Hon. Alexander White in the
Alabama State Convention:
The Bonnie Blue Flag no
longer reflects the light of the morn
ing sunbeam, or kisses with its silken
folds the genial breezes of our South
ern cline. The hands that waved it
along the fiery crest of a hundred
battle-felds, and the hearts that, for
the love they bore it, so often defed
danger and death, no longer rally
around it, Another banner waves in
triumph over its closed and PROSTATE
folds, but proud memories and glori-
Gus recollections cluster around it.
Sir, will refrain. The South needs
no eulogy. The faithful record of
her achievements will encircle her
brow with glory bright and enduring
as the diadem that crowns the night
of her cloudless skies. The scenes of
Marathon and Plat;e have been re-
enacted in the New World without
the beneficial results which flow from
those battle fields of freedom, and
our country lies PROSTATE at the feet
OF the conqueror.
But dearer to me is she in this hour
of her humiliation than was she in
the day and hour of her power. Each
blood-stained field, each track Of de-
vastation, each new-made grave of
her sons fallen in her defence, each
mutilated form of the Confederate
soldier-her widows tear, her Or
phan's cry-are but so many cords
that bind me to her in the midst of
her desolation, aud draw my affec-
tions closer around my stricken coun-
try. When 1 raise my hand or lift
my voice against her, may the thun-
ders rivet me where stand. Though
be false i'll all else, / will be true to
her. Though all others may prove
faithless, I will be faithful still. And
when, in obedience to the great COM
mand, ''Dust to dust, my heart shall
return to that earth from whence it
sprang, it shall sink into her bosom
with the proud consciousness that it
never knew one beat not in unison
with the honor, the interests, the glory
of my country.

AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS. The Little
Rock Gazette, of the 2StlA ultimo,
says:
Occasionally we hear through the
papers of some outrages being com
mitted in the Western and Southern
portions Of the State, but, as a gene
raj thing, it may be said that all is
quiet throughout Arkansas; and, just
now, when the rigors OF winter are
upon us, this is peculiarly gre tifying
state Of affairs. 1t is true, there is
some suffering cansed by the evils
which follow war, but looking to the
sad occurrences which are constantly
being enacted in other States, we
have Just cause to be thankful to an
over-ruling Providence that we are
passing along so smoothly and
happily
The New York Herald recommends
Worlds Congress TO regulate inter
national law. The London Times,
with its usual unfairness, steals the
thunder of the Herald, and hurls it
from its own Olympus We are glad
to see that the Herald exposes the
ignominious fraud The Times ought
to be ashamed of itself. To pilfer an
idea from the New York Herald is the
smallest piece of petit larceny that
VIC ever heard Of What is the world
coming to! We shall next hear of

1.-The editor OF the New York
Tribune had Il long interview with

were pleased. Horace came here

many sinister rumors as to the Presi-
dents readiness to make trouble in
the ranks Of the Unionists, and he
goes back Il very well satisfied man.
The President knows Mr.. Greelev's
influence, and gives full weight to his
counsel
The Columbus Geo. SIN says:
"We understand that a company of
prominent gentlemen from this city
intend leaving for Mexico at an early
day. Among the most distinguished
persons of the party is Judge Swan,
lately OF Tennessee, and an ex-mcm-
Der of the Confederate Congress. BY
additions from other places the num-
ber will be increased at New Orleans
to at least twenty-six persons. This
number alone viii form respectable

SUNDAY scBooL at GREENYILLE,

Tho Charleston Courier's correspondent
furnishes the following interesting notice Of
the Baptist Sunday School at Greenville,
which is under the superirtendence Of c. J.
Elford, Esq, it is the largest in the South,
and one Of the largest in the United States
We attended the morning session, and OBJ.
fained from Mr.. julius G. Smith, Assistant
Superintendent, the following rcports Of the
number OF pupils, This school is divided
into two departments; that for larger schol-
avS embrace 27 teachers and 2S1 pupils; the
Infant Department embraces Is teachers and
I53 pupils. Adding 6 managers. you have
4 school aggregating 4S2. In addition 10 the
white school there is a colored school, cono
raining about 200 pupils, under the charge Of
Mr. J. c. Smith. The aggregate Of both
schools thus nearly reaches 700. The same
energy in other towns and cities ofthe South
would be attended by the same creditable
and hopeful results,
One half the interest and energy manifest
ed in the Schools of our town would very
soon show gratifying results. True, all
onr denominations together could not per.
haps bring together so great number, but
did parents and teachers make the effort the
different schools would soon be swelled to
double their present size. Every shoulder to
the wheel then, reader, and let Us see if we
remain so very far behind the Grceaville
Sabbath School.

We seriously think that the times and the
seasons are inappropriate for 80 many barbe-
cues. In the first place it is too warm, and
in view Of the deficit of pro7eDder, we think
It al unnecessary if not sinful waste. In the
merry month Of May, when ths earth is
mellow and verdant, skies clear, and the at,
mosphere transparent and balmy, and filed
with perfumed zephyrs from the temple of
Flora, and the melody of birds in the honey
moon, it is delightful to enjoy amid enchant-
ed scenes, those festive, social gatherings;
and when the penSive hueS of autumn are
apace, and requiems are whispered by the
passing breezesthrough grove and glade, in
memoriam, ii is pleasant to mingle ere the
beauties of the dying year are gone, and bin>
die anew the hearty and exuberent pleasures
that spring from friendly greetings.

WHOSE. PRISONERS ?-Read the item OF
intelligence below. We presume the prisoners
referred to are soldiers of The late Confeder-
ate army. Should not the inquiry be made,
and means be contributed from the South to
enable these poor fellows to return to their
homes or friends? II is a pity they should be
abandoned by North and South. 49,.
The Raleigh Sentinel says there are about
seventy-fve prisoners on Johnson's Island

ont means of travelling to their homes, even
if we'll enough, and the Government no long,
