MR. EDIToR-I noticed in your paper of the 2lst ult., an article deprecating the practice of newsdealers sending such infamous sheets as Harper's Weekly and Monthly Upon this subject the strictures of the Southern press cannot be too severe. There are many other sheets equally as black as any published by Harper & Bros. Frank Leslie's Illustrated is not far behind in point of low flung vitupera- tion. It is astonishing to see what little cir cumspection is exhibited by these Publishers, in forwarding to the different Southern Post Offices, large packages of their filthy produc- ton. l saw, some time since, no less than twenty copies of the American Chronological Journal, sent for distribution to our little town, and presume most ofthem remain intact Prompted by curiosity, I opened one and found that it contained several articles which would wound the feelings of any honest South ern man. Is this done with the intention of adding insult to iyury9 for the purpose of goading fallen enemy and make him feel more perceptibly the thorn in his flesh ? or, are these men foolish enough to believe that such sheets will meet with appreciation, and their pockets with approbation's reward money, Thank Heaven, there are ten right eous men left in Sodom who have not bowed the knee. It is still more astonishing to see Southern men investing their money in arti- cles abusing themselves. Common sense will dictate the only method of subverting this evil Let the Southern man refuse to buy, and throw the periodical upon the newsdealer. His own interest will prompt him to make the supply only equal to the demand. Such an in dependent course will learn them that they can subject the Southern people to the most igno- nainious insults, but cannot be allowed to laugh at them for su6mtting.

 One of the most pleasant entertainments of the season was the pic nic given for the bene- fit of the school children of this place on Wednesday last The day was cool and pleas ant, and nature seemed to smile and lend to the hour the power of pleasing" Anxious, loving mothers, and kind friends were there to participate control and direct, and as the merry shout of childhood rang out upon the air, seemed to forget the cares of life and blend their riper years with sportiye innocence in the enjoyments of the hour. Much credit IS due Mrs Kate Huntsman and Mir. 5. D. Perry for the order and arrangements of the day i; and the department of the scholars was high tribute to them as teachers. The dinner in due time was announced and gathering around the table, ssone of nature's own," old and young alike did full justice to the good things that were so bountifully set before them. The evening was devoted to sportive play and childish amusements, after which all retired to their homes well satisfied with themselves and fully persuaded that life has In 1t much to love, if we will but look upon it right. Altogether, it was 3 pleasant time, one in which we learned to love the children more because of their innocent simplicity.
 Little children--ycs we love them
 For their spirits ceaseless flow,
 For the joy that ever fingers

COMMUNICATEn.

MR. EDiToR:-The August election for mem bers of the State Legislature, is one of more than ordinary importance to the people of the State. We should all not only feel. but mani fest an interest in it, by exerting ourselves to secure the services of the best men in the State. A great deal of important legislation must necessarily be had, and the character of the Legislation in it's operations upon the peo- pie in the future, will depend upon the indi vidual characters of the members elect. for good or bad results. We should select men of experience, men of tried and undoubted abili- ty, men who we kaow will not pander to parties or cliques. Men who are by nature above the trickery and demagogueism which has hereto fore prevailed at Little Rock during the ses- sion of the Legislature, and to some extent moulded the legislation of the State. I know of no man who would represent Prairie and Pulaski counties in the Senate, with more ability, energy, zeal and honesty, than 5. C.. Totten. I think him above every other per son, the man for the place. We all know him, we have tried, we can trust him, and know that he is the choice of large majority of the people of this county. The question is, will he consent to become candidate?

Ry-Our neighbor of the Crescent, seems somewhat exercised, about an article or com munication, which appeared in the CITIZEN of last weeks issue. As the charge made is not against us, but our contributor, we feel called upon to make the following statement : The article in question, was handed to us a few days before it's publication, by gentle man--a perfectly responsible man-and for several years citizen of this county. As the issue-f there be an issue--is between the Crescent and our contributor, we will give his name if called uponfor it. Upon examin- ation, we find that the lines as first written, were from the pen of Miss Hays of Columbia, Tenn, and were first published in the Herald newspaper published in that place.

Tuesday, May l, 1866. { CoTToN-The Cotton market yesterday opened more bouyant, on account of the one penny advance ill Liverpool. The advance had very little effect on the New York market, as all confidence is lost in the foreign markets. The noon dispatch quoted Cotton dull at 30 to 31 There was very little doing in the mar ket here. Holders are offering nothing but outside lots, while buyers were wanting in confidence to concede to holders prices, few bales changed hands at 25 to 26 for Middling. Factors seemed inclined to hold for better prices.

A True Story of Alice Moore.

Alice Moore was a pretty and pleasant
child, and favorite with all. She had very
lady like manners, and no course words or
rough and uncouth actions spoiled the eject
of her childish beauty She was like little
queen among her playmates, and any one of
them was proud Of her company. Perhaps
there might have been danger from taking
the lead among them so long and Alice
would grow up selfwilled or wayward How
ever, when she Was eight years old she had Il
dangerous fever. All th, village was anx-
ious about little Alice, and many COOL people
prayed the Lord to spare her life After six
weeks of pain and weakness, she began to
get we'll How pale and sweet she looked,
the first morning she came into our school
room to see us all again! y.
| We looked with awe upon her altered face,
| for we knew she had been very near death.
| But it had been blessed sickness for
Alice Her mother thought that God must
have been with her, she had been so patient,
trustCul and humble. Certainly she was a
grntler AMI kinder child ever aitcrward. and
all her companions noticed the change. She
grew to he great comfort to her mother,
and was like the light of his eyes to her poor
father For Mr. Moore was one OF those
good naturcd mrn who fall an easy prey to
bad habits He ha times of being very in
temperate. and then he would he cross to
every one but Alice. She stood between him
and the rest of the family when no one else
dared to approach him. She loved him
dearly, and never seemed to fear him. even
when intoxicated. Perhaps this pleased him.
even then Certain it is, he never harmed
her, however violent to others
As years went on, he sunk lower and lower,
becoming burden as well as terror to his
poor family. Finally they sought the pro.
lection of the law. and Mr. Moore was sepa
rated from his suffering wife, Nothing but
shnme and death seemed to be before him,
and for them nothing but poverty and unuter-
able grief
1t was about year after this, that all the
land suddenly walked up to temperance re-
