The Resting Place of Gen. Cleburne.

We take the following from commu- nication to the Memphis Bulletin, thinking that it will be of interest to all who hold in kindly remembrance, Arkansas best and noblest son:
 I notice that the citizens of Helena afe making efforts to remove the remains of Gen Cle5urne from their resting place in Ashwood to Helena An incident oc- CUTS to my memory, the publication of which may change their purpose.
 After our retreat from the battle of Franklin, met Bishop Quintard, of this Diocese, who was fresh from the battlfeld in Tennessee Knowing | was then a reg ular correspondent of tho Macon, (Ga., ) Confsderacy and the Mobile Adsertise, and Register, he furnished me many incl dents of the battles in which he had par ticipatcd during the campaign. From his memoranda I published in the Southern Conttderacy, Macon, Ga ,'the following On the day before the battle of Franklin, Gen. Cleburno and the Bishop, with a small party of friends, were riding by Ashwood, when the General, with very earnest air, remarked that if he was killed in battle, he would love to be buried in that lovely spot, for it was one of the most exquisitely beautiful, little church yards he had ever seen,
 After his death, his body with that of Gen. Strahland Col Young were removed to the common burying ground at Columbia. When the Rev. Dr. Quintard came to per- form the funeral service, he discovered that the graves were dug very closely to tie place set apart for the burial of negroes. With his heart almost breaking with grief, and mortified at the surroundings of the graves of the gallant and brave soldiers, he sadly wept and sobbed through the ser vice. The wish the General had expressed a few days before came to his memory and prompted him to instants resolve A day or two after, he laboriously assisted with his own hands to disinter the bodies aud carried them to Ashwood Thus, this noble hearted gentleman, the sterling pa- triot and devoted christian soldier, per formed the last sad rites of burial to the brave general and his soldier comrades He laid him where the soldier, and perhaps his last wish decide his inumerahle and adoring friends to let his ashes remain in peace where they are now resting. A monument could be erected there and at Helena to his memory. presume that Bishop Charles T. Quintard, of Memphis will take pleasure in giving the Generals friends any farther information on the subject.

EFFECT OF THE EUROPEAN WAR ON
 AMERICAN SEGyRITEES.

War in Europe, which will certainly involve all central continental powers, is imminent Merchants and capitalists watch the progress of events with deep anxiety. Of the large amount of United States bonds held in Europe, probably not less than $200,000,000 are distributed throughout Germany. Would American securities held there necessarily suffer? The decline in home securities would naturally induce many holders to sell them, and invest the proceeds in some form of se- curity, the value of which is independent of domestic disturbances. During the wars of France, a larger amount of French capital sought investment in the United States than at any other period and soon after the outbreak of hostilities in the Southern States, large amounts of capital were sent to Europe for supposed safer employment, facts showing the tendency of capital to seek foreign invest ments pending condition Of war. Should the war between Austria and Prussia call forth this usual tendency, the capitalists of Germany, seeking sound and stable security into which they may change their investments, have at hand just what they desire, in the Five-twenty Bonds. Hitherto, they have shown remarkable confidence in our securities. They have taken them in in preference to the bonds to their own gov ernments which even in times of peace have been driven to negotiate their loans in London or Paris. 1t would be difficult to conceive why in the prospects of a destructive war, they should sell our securities to invest in those of their own governments, It is true, in time of war, there is always class whose financial judgement is influenced by their political zeal and it is quite probable that some German capitalists may be induced even to sell out Five-twenties, and take up national securities; nor is it impossible that some bankers from motives of loyalty or political advantage, may use their influence to induce others to take that course. But the eases in which citizens deliberately make sacrifice of capital, in order to leld to their government are the rare exceptions; the first instinct with nine tenths of the people being to insure safety to their means during war. The tendency of recent events in the United States is in favor of increased confidence in our securities abroad The premium on gold has materially declined: bill has passed Congress authorizing the funding of the short term affiliations of the Government, and the adoption of measures looking to resumption of specie payments
 In view of these considerations, it is not easily seen why Fiye-twenties should be less esteemed, in comparison with competing se- curites in Germany, than heretofore.
 i Such, substantially, are opinions enter tained by leading writer upon American finances. We present them for the considra- tions of our merehants-[ Memphis Bulletin.

BES ARC, ARKANSAS, MAY 26, 1866.


 Now that everything pertaining to busi- ness seems to be at stand still, it is fitting for us to examine closely into our condition, and inquire what is to become of us? what promises does the future hold out for us? Surely it is folly to think of the olden time, and sigh for its. return. Our situa- tion is changed, and circumstances differ ent; and with this change comes new re responsibilities, the necessity for different rule of government We, of Arkansas, nave much to do within the next few months, our position is to be taken, our relations are yet to be established with the. general government, our destiny is to take shape from our own actions; in short, the foundation is to be lain, for that greatness, the elements of which we possess in so re- markable degree Of all that number of States oyer which war reigned with such unabated fury for four years, Arkansas , most easily can erase the marks of destruc, tion, not that she suffered less, but that she possessed more vitality with which to withstand the shock. Her resources were undeveloped, hence could not be destroyed. Her riches hidden within Ter own bowels, she possesses them yet; and, just in pro- portion to the energy of her citizens, will she by them be benefited. Her slaves are gone, but they carriednot with them the rich and fertile soil, that is ever ready to yield abundant fruit to honest industry. The cotton fields look as well and promise as much to. the skillful hand of the white laborer, who must now cultivate them, as they did in bygone years. Truly, it may be said, old things have passed away and all things have become new The slave holder that once cultivated his thousand acres, must now confne himself to hun odreds; but under the new order, by the as sistance of agricultural science, hundreds may yield tho profits of thousands. White labor must be encouraged, and with it must como that contracted system of farm ing, that has made the Eastern Farmer so successful. Following white emigration, comes the necessity of education, and with it that system of internal improvement, that ever marks an intelligent people, alive to their own interest. As improvement marches onward, necessities increase. 1m- prove the soil make it to bring forth its fruit, and markets must be established for its consumption. Build up your towns for markets, and there must be railroads by the assistance of which the rich yieldings of the soil may be made to benefit alike. him that giveth and him that receiveth Let us, therefore, with all the energy that in us is, bend ourselves to the good work of improvement, build up our town, than which none in the State has superior ad- vantages; encourage the railroads which we so much need; invite emigration of all orders and kind; and, when tho old gar ments are shaken off, when with the re- newal of business activity, we come. forth in the vitality and life of our new situa- ton, ours shall be glorious destiny and inviting future.

A Mississippi planter writes that. most of the planters in Tishimingo and the adja- cent counties are planting grain principally, crops formerly consisted of two-thirds cotton and one-third breadsufs, there has been a complete change, and they have instead two- thirds breadstuffs and one-third cotton. The reason of this is the scant supplies in the country and the scarcity of labor There is but little stock, and no money to buy more with, and if the stock was insthe country there IS no feed for them. The corn crop is prom ising and also the fruit.

-G Gen. Stoneman has sent the result of the investigation into the Memphis riots to the War Department. A detailed statement of the origin, progress and conclusion of the troubles accompanies his report. It appears to bear very strongly upon the soldiers who commenced it while the negroes are blamed for participating in it. He thinks that if the latter had been kept out of the riot, it would have been suppressed almost at its inception.
