sympathy with the ostensible objects of the
 Fenian Brotherhood goes far to show that,
 unconsciously perhaps, the American peo-
 pie draw wide line between their esti- mate of the criminality of political treason and of all other offenses considered crimi-
 nal in the eye of the law. No man was ever more fagrantly guilty of treason to the United States than John Mitchell In the prime and wisdom of manhood, voluntarily, eagerly and boastfully, he swore allegiance to the laws of the United States, received its hospitality and profted by its generosity, and no man proved a greater traitor to both nation and Consti-
 tuition than he; yet his pardoning was un- opposed, and his present participation in the Fenian movement, in the minds of many, palliates, if not obliterates, his sins against this Government. The pardoning of Smith O'Brien, and others of AS noto- riety, by Great Britain; the international law (such it may be called), which protects the rebel refugee in the three great na- tions of the. world, and converts the En- glish traitor into the American hero-a law continually enforced since lS15-has, wrongly or rightly, given strength to the popular lenient estimate of the crime of treason, out of which the law grew.

@A negro got into a street car in Phila- delphia the other day and ensconced himself between couple of merchants of we'll known Radical proclivities. They were ardent admi- rers of Thad. Stevens, and had sus tained every position that worthy assumed. But this prac- tical test of civil rights was beyond their en- durance; it was more than they had bar gained for. Each nose inclined heavenward as the negro took the vacant seat between his friends" They ordered him to leave. He wouldn't do it. The conductor was appealed to, but he feared thelaw. There was no other resort, and they left their seats to take stand on the platform while the negro rode on in triumph

On our first page will be found the charter of the Des Arc and Dardanelle Railroad. A careful perusal of this docu- ment will surely be sufficient to confirm the faith of those that believe the road will be built, and remove the fears of all who doubt the success of so desirable an enter prise. All questions that could be asked concerning the disposition of stock, the liabilities of stockholders, the terms of payment, etc., are so fully answered that we make no comment. We trust that ev- cry man interested in this road will, not only read the charter, but study it, and impressed with its liberality, set immedi- ately to work to build upon it--as base this railroad, in which Arkansas, and espe- cially Des Arc, is so much interested.

The new Freedmen's Bill as it passed the lower branch of Congress is divested of many of the objectionable features with which it was characterized when introduced. Itnow provides for continuing the present Freedmen's Bureau for two instead of three years, as orig inally reported, and authorizes the appont- ment of two additional Assistant Commission CTS. All appointments are to be made of per sons who have served in the armies No per- son shall be deemed destitute, suffering or de- pendence. For the purpose of rendering this bureau self-sustaining, in the place of lands heretofore assigned to freedmen, and that the bureau, the President is required to reserve from sale or settlement under the Homestead or Pre-emption laws, and assign for the use of freedmen and loyal refugees male or female unoccupied public lands in Florida, Missssip- pi, Alabama Louisiana and Arkansas, not ex- ceeding in all [, 1000, 900 acres of good lands Whenever the former owners of land occupied under General Sherman's field order, dated at Savannah, January 16, 1865, shall apply for restoration of said lands, and the Commission CT shall refuse to surrender the same, the own CTS may apply in civil Courts for restitution. The bill further guarantees civil rights to all persons in the States.

DEs ARC, ARK, June 8, 1866.

There are few persons who have an idea of the rapidity with which the White river valley is settling up. No section of coun- try in the South is making more rapid strides in improvement; and surely none can hold out to the emigrant greater in- ducements than the fertile fields that are washed by the waters ot our beautiful White river. Steamboats are constantly ploughing our waters, bearing out and bringing in all that the necessities of the country demand, connecting us directly with Memphis and St. Louis, and through them with the whole world. Most promi- nent of the towns of this valley is our own Des Arc. No one that has noticed her rapid improvement for the last year, can help being impressed with the idea that Des Arc must one day be city. We have fourteen first class business houses, and good prospect for more. Every boat that touches our landing puts of some anxious seeker for home and country, and the invariable expression is one of satisfac- tion. Our saw mills, blaming mill, found- ry and grist mills, all stand out as promi- nent advertisements of our prosperity. To all who are tired of the slow plodding up hill of the older States, we recommend the valley of White river, and most of all, we recommend to enterprise and industry Des Arc, feeling assured that there can be found all that is desirable, all that will conduce to comfort, happiness and pros- perity.s

We learn from our exchanges that there is strong probability of the early release of Jeff. Davis. The Radicals are clamor- ing for hts trial, which trial he is himself anxious for. We have never believed that it was within the bounds of possibility to convict him of treason, and to think of connecting his name with those who con- spired to the death of Abe Lincoln, is simply absurd. Be that as it may, the great heart of the Southern people cries out for trial upon the indictment found against him, some four weeks ago. All are satisfied that trial will be equal to a release from that confinement, which is so trying to the soul of him who has already suffered so much.

EURoPEAN WAR.-The preparations of Flu rope for war are complete. Prussia is on foot, her army mobilized, and on her frontier Austria has 72, GOO men in Venetia, and rail- ways and telegraphs monopolized by the Gov ernment. Italy has suspended specie pay ment, effected immense loans in paper, and is alive from the Alps to the Adriatic with war like preparations. Saxony is in arms, and refuses to disarm at the demand of Prussia. Even Belgium is making provisions for calling out 80,000 men. Russia and Turkey are nov ing large bodies of troops to their respective frontiers. All are at daggers drawn, already to strike. France is neutral, but preserves her "liberty of action. England is neutral in any case, and means to do so. The Queen, whose daughter will be queen of Prussia, and whose dearest friends will be involved in the conflict, has tried to interfere, not automatically, but personally, in the interests or peace. She has asked the aid of the Czar it is said, to pre- vent hostilities. But the action of the Czar, like that of the Emperor Napoleon, is very doubtful. Each seems to have more to hope than to fear from war in Central Europe.-- Memphis Bulletin.

What shall be done with Jeff. Davis if

What shall be done with Jeff. Davis if convicted, is question in which all feel a lively interest. Writing on this subject, the Washington correspondent of the Gin cinnati Commercial says:
 The trial of Mir. Davis being agreed upon, the question comes up, what will be done with him if convicted? :? While the blood of the nation was heated by the ac- tual contest, week, month, or even two months after his apprehension, his execu- tion on the sentence from military tribu- nal, would have been attended with little doubts as to its wisdom, and little of argu- ment as to its expediency. Since that time, however, public opinion has under gone perceptible change on the subject of military trials, and it is not unfair to presume that punishment then universal ly demanded for Davis, would now be little more than barely acquiesced in. The an tecedents of the American people and Gov erDment are by no means such as to en- tirely justify capital punishment for polit- ical crime. No where in the world have revolutionists been received so hospitably as upon the shores of the United States. Whatever the objects of the rebellion whether the freedam of people capable of being free, of which Kossuth was the representative, or the desire to exchange clay pipes for Havana cigars on the part of few leaders, of which Stephens is the representative, the "head centres" of revo- lution, or attempted revolution, have all been welcomed with open arms, and no questions asked, provided the grand idea of resistance to constituted authority was there.

At the solicitation of numerous friends, Tn different parts of the St.tte, who have assmed me of the most encourag 'ng prospects of swc- cess, 1 announce myself ,ts candidate for the office of STATE AUDITOR OF PUBLIC AC- COUNTS The most of you knew [ re before the war, at least by reputation; and ! have only to say of myself since that time, that during the late struggle was connected W ith the Army of the Confederate eCause-servine with fidelity 'from the beginning to the end,'' and since the war have been practicing law in the city of Camden. But honestly and sincerely abiding the issues of the war, now claim to b a true mnd loyal subject of the government nder whieh live and ever expect to remain, such-
 1 am in favor of general amnesty, not only with respect to political offences; Sut also, and more particularly in regard to QUIT own domestic party strifes and fe uds. Having no personally political or parti gan purposes to serve or subserve, am willing to forget the past, and looking only to the future, will heartily cooperate with all good men, in hon. est, faithful endeavors, to prOi note the growth, happiness and prosperity, of our dear old State.
 It being entirely beyond my power to per sonally canvass the larger porti on of the State, I shall rely mainly upon the assistance of a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances throughout the State to present my claims to the consideration of the people, trusting that they, and especially those who were my com rades and fellow-sufferers in the late war, will give me a generous, liberal and hearty support.
