for the leading staple to-day but offerings, espe.

a character to admit of heavy operations, Ad-
vices from Europe by the cable indicate no varla-
ton whatever, but those from New York exhib-
tied a decidedly firmer feeling. Rates in this
market still incline in favor Of holders, owing to
the effects of the rain; and the sales to-day,
which foot up nearly 1850 bales, have been
effected at previous figures, which we repeat as

TO THE CITIZENS OF DIES ARC.

We dof our beaver again to the citizens of Des Arc, and wish them good cheer. Since the din of battle has hushed and the smoke from the plain has passed away, we take our harp from the willow upon which it has in silence been suspended for more than five years; and enter in good earnest into the spirit of the onward and upward march now being felt, in the inn provement of our once happy, peaceful and pleasant town, over which the bosom
 of war has swept, with its dark and low ering wing, effacing and defacing the
 modest but tasteful improvements of our hitherto thriving and prosperous town.
 But let us not "grieve over split milk" or
 brood in melancholy over the past-suf.
 icient unto the day are the evils thereof.
 In tears blood and grief the past has been
 embahmed, shrouded and laid in the com mon sepulcher of time; and whatever part 1t was our fortune to act in the dreadful drama of the recent rebellion; though mortified in our failure in what we con ceived to be our duty, and believed our first and most sacred privilege, still we yield to the memorable decree of fate with the consoling assurance that we aimed to do our whole duty. We have no apoli- gies to offer for ourselves or others, as to the mishaps so common to us all of the South. We bargained for it in good faith, we met it in good faith, and We en- durs it in good faith to the bitter end and we cheerfully abide the result in good

DES ARC.

It is but natural for man to feel lively interest in the place with which he is identified, by birth or adoption. Home has charms more readily felt than told and 1t IS this instructive, innate feeling of locality, or love of home that gives rise to patriotism. valor, heroism and renown,- The place of our nativity is as imperisha- ble as memory itself. Revolutions may sweep over the lands-thronesmay totter- crowns may fall, and dynasties pass away j; yet the lands of our nativity stands out in memorys waste, as the oasis in the desert of the travellers journey. But while we feel that the place of our birth is the most endearing spot of earth to all, the place of our adoption becomes our home around which cluster our hopes for wealth, life and happiness. And he is not a pa- triot in the true sense of the term, who locates himself upon any spot of earth and
 fixes his home in town, city or hamlet, and feels not that it is his privilege, as we'll as duty to aid to the extent of his ability. in furtherance of every enterprise, that has for its object the prosperity, happiness and glory of that particular place. But
 let us come more directly to the point-to

 PosT MASTERS IN THE SoUTH-Many post offices in the South are not reopened on ac- count of the difficulty of finding persons who can, conscientiously, take the prescribed oath of office. very obvious way of getting over this difficulty would be, now that the war is over and the Union is restored, for Congress to modify this oath, which was proper enough during tic war, but is certainly not necessary now. If this cannot be done, however. until that body is reconstructed by the substitution of men who will represent the real people, in

Men of this elass-the veteran soldiers be it obseryed-w0uld not be obnoxious to the peo- pie of the South, if there is no other way of obtaining postal facilities As we have often remarked before, the real soldiers of both armies harmonize readily, and constitute, in deed, the great conservative element of the country.-[ Memphis appeal.

WoRDs IN UsR,-The peasants of England have not more than 300 words in their voca- bulary The ancient sages of Egypt, so far as we know of their hierogyphic inscriptions used 6S5 words. A well educated person in England or America seldom uses more than about 5000 or 4S00 words in actual conversa- ton. Accurate thinkers and close reasoners, who avoid vogue and general expression, and wait till they find the word that exactly fits their meaning, employ larger stock; and eloquent speakers may rise to command of 10000. Shakespeare, who displayed greater variety of expressions than probably any writer in any language, produced all his plays with about l5, ,000 words.-Milton's works are composed of 5000; and the Old Testament says all that it has to say with 5642 words.

 The Agent, Col. LA RUE HARRISON, states that the ''Postmaster General desires to open these routes without delay, and reasonable proposals from respectable parties will receive prompt attention" e65 ... .-
 Col. HARRISON also desires the citizen to remember the importance to themselves of recommending suitable persons for Postmas- ters at all points where they have not already been appointed.

SALUTATORY.


 In presenting ourselves as candidates for public favor and support, we have noapol ogy to make, nor do we wish to be consid- cred mercenary in our views We believe the times demand paper, and though we may be mistaken in our views regarding what paper should be, we shall endcavor to satisfy that demand. Our aim shall be high--for we are not of that class, which clothed in sackcloth and ashes, sit idly down to chant melancholy requiems over dead and buried hopes. Nor do we feel that the mighty flow of blood, and it's con sequent sorrows, which for four years deluged our once happy land, has stained our hands; spotted our souls, or made us one whit less noble in the eyes of those with whom nobility is a virtue. Believing that it belongs to us to aoorh out our tenn poral salvation we shall engage with all our energy in the cause of Truth and Jus t,ee. Whatever humanizes society, emo. hlcs man, or finds it's way to the human heart to vivify and instruct, shall in us find hearty supporters. Our intention is to so conduct our paper as to make it a welcome visitor in every households faithful exponent of the peoples views, and an advocate of such political principles We will boldly advocate any measure that has for its end the good of the country and the advancement of our local inter- ests-advise submission to the powers that be, and work harmoniously with all, North CT South, for the building up of our Na- tsoa. Nothing that will conduce to inl-t prove the country by developing its 'e- sources, increasing its commerce, se1cour- ageing manufacturing interests; fstalninS and advancing EducatiQn,y ysorals' Arts Arts Science, and whatever ese there may be that comes home tod sAs hearths and bos- sons, shall be dee,<a too hard for us to try. We are sare that the work before us is great, ,f to this work we bring will line banJ<and hopeful hearts. As in the h,qhe,aSfk we are called upon to come up to de help ofthe Lord against the mighty; 20 in this great national work are we called upon to come up to the help of the wise against the foolish-that the meridian of our prosperity yet to come, may shade the glory of the past, and shed new luster Der our names as people. We know that we must yet suffer much, but the dark clouds will pass away and show to our un- derstandings that it is only through tribu- lation that we reach perfection. Then to one an all, we say come help us, and we will do all we can to sustain the interests of our country and the integrity of her citizens.

SLEEP AND DEATH.-hS men begin to be about fifty years old, especially if of seden- tary habits, the feeling on rising in the morn ing as if they had not gotten enoexh sleep, not as much as they used to have anu as if they would like to have more, but cannot get it. They look upon healthy child sleeping sound with feeling of envy. But it is cuz1- ous to observe that there is bliss to all ii the act of going to sleep, bliss we becope cog
 nizant of only when we happen to te aroused just as we are falling into souns sleep and there arc strong physiological reasons to sup pose that this state is counterpart of the great event that comes to all, the act of dying

Why did you rJt let me go?''
 An eminent name, thus brought back, re- presented that the last remem bered sensa-- tions of which he was conscious were as if he were listening to the most ravishing strains of music. Let us all, then, cherish the thought that our approach to the sleep of the grave is the strict counterpart of the approach of sleep, of which some namclcss writer has beautifully said: .5
 ''lt is delicious moment the feeling that we are safe, that we shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past. The limbs have been just tried enough to render the remaining in one position delightful, and the labor of the day is done A gentle failing of the perceptions comes slowly creeping over us; the spirit of consciousness dsengage itself more and more, with slow and hushing degrees, like a fond mother detaching her sleeping child the mind seems to have balmy lid closing over it, like the eye, closing
 more closed altogether and the mysterious spirit of sleep has gone to take its airy rounds
