AN AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The citizens of Prairie county have determined to have an agricultural Fair in October, and all honor to them for it. Nothing advances the interests of society or so conduces to the growth of a country as the encouragement of agriculture. Tire time is now when this science should become to all a study, and to this cad societies should be organized in every county and all possible encouragement given them. The Prairie county society have select cd Bes Arc as the point at which the Fair shall be held this Fall, this place having subscribed most liberally to the enterprise as will be seen from the proceedings of the last meeting. It is true magnificent display canact be expected as the time is two short for much preparation. Bnt stiil a good and profitable entertainment can be had if the people will enter into it with the proper spirit. Itis to be hoped the citizens of Prairie county will take hold of this enterprise with . good will and this year lay the foundation for the permanent establishment of au institu- tioh that will so greatly benefit the people and improve the country.

NEW ORLEANS.

September 23.-According to the Re publicans figures. the whole number oi deaths from yellow fever up to Satur. day mornsng, 2lst inst, were l2l4. FoI twcnty-fonr hours up to Sunday nor. ming. So; this morning. 79; being the largest number on any two days since the commencement of the epidemic.
 From tho president of the Howard association we learn they have recieved money sufficienti for their expenses thus far. They acknowledge in the dai- lies very liberal receipts fromsN Northern cities. Their present expenses are S2, 800 per day. The applicants for relief to day registered up to 6 pm. number sixty families, in some of whom every member is sick. Cases and deaths are daily on the increase, and the necessity continues for liberal aid from the friends of humanity everywhere. The Howard association in this city is ex- tending relief to infected districts in the interior.

To the Cotton Planters Of West Tennessee, Alabama, Missis. sippl and Arkansas;

The undersigned respectfully tenders bis services as agent for the sale of your cotton in this city. asd for the purchase of your sup plies The unfortunate termination of the late war, which so materially affected the best interests of the South, has also had it's effect upon the Commission Business of this city as transacted between planter and merch hani. You doubtless we'll remember with what per- tinacity (previous to the wsr) amounting in some instances to annoyance, you were soi- cited for your business at the rate of fifty cents per bale commission, free of drayage, and stored for twelve months without charge. Then (as will be aeainl the producer was the ruling element. and high rents. rich landlords and merchants were the result of planters patronage. No people or occupation have been more seriously prostrated than planters and planting, and none SO much deserve ts he fostcrei and aided in their unfortunate changed condition. How that aid 50 much needed has been mcted out you I opine too well know. 0nerous government taxes in general, and spscial tax upon your leading production, Cotton. large profits you have had to pay upo4 supplies furnished. commissions on sales ranging from $3 50 to S5 per bale, monthly storage at exorbitant prices and other expenses. os per reference to your ac- count sales, as a sum total will leave you but little if anything upon which to rebuild your shattered Sertunes, or to compete with the new order of affairs--free labor. When withdrew from the Cotton and Commission Business in 1860, private reasons then led me to believe that would never engage in 1t again. The solicitations of many friends that were former patrons, and a desire to promote the interest of the planting community. so far as my feeble efforts can do so. and the apparent want of gratitude exhibited to community that in times past tended so ma ,erial'y to tho prosperity of Memphis and it's mercantile community, has determined me again to offer my services in the capacity ss stated The reduced stock of coftons in the United States and short sudplics in the hands of New England manufacturers has caused some advance in prices from the late depres- sion, hence early sales may be prudent and remunerative; such was the case the past two seasons, and maay planters have had cause to regret the acting upon the too common prac- ,ice of holding and drawing upon their cot tons would advise no planter to send for ward his cettoa unless he wished ii sold upon tho first active market It can be held at home much cheaper than in Memphis.

In short, by strict attention 10 all the departments of our busi- ness, I hope 10 merit large share og tatron- age. very respectfully,

BRIDGES.

Our people have long been halting between two opinionsr-wbether they should stand still and wait for natural
 advantages and position to build up our town, or set themselves to work
 for the accomplishment of this end.
 But now they have become wiser and determined to bring energy and labor to the help of nature, aud make Dcs Arc what every good citizen thinks it will be, city. A few weeks ago our merchants subscribed liberally to open mp and bridge the road between this point and Cotton Plant, and the work is now progressing SO that this fall we will have good road leading into Des Arc from this rich and well settled country.

AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.

We have lately seen much complaint of the President and his course of ac- tion. Until recently the opinion had obtained that the Executive had yield cd to the forcc of Radicalism and con cluded to oppose its schemes no more. But recently things have put on diff ferent dress, and the old iron-hearted Chief Magistrate is on the offensive. His last act, the putting forth of the amnesty proclamation, has created much stir amongst the truly loyal. It was blow administered with force, and the lino of action which the Radi- calls will pursue in consequence of it is difficult to conjecture. They have staked too much and are far too violent to weigh this step carefully, and are very likely to make big fuss when they reasscmble at Washington. Some ofthcir major minds have already de- nied the effect of the Presidents au- thority in the premises; and as any op- position to the darling schemes of the favorite party is high treason in their eyes. we may expect to hear much talk about impeachment when Congress meets next winter. We do not think MT. Johnson's constitutional right at all doubtful, but that he has done just what Lincoln would have done long ago had he lived. The President has before pardoned number of persons, with the sanction of some of the Radi- cal oracles, and the same right that jus tifies the pardon of one man justifies this proclamation. The Radicals may fret and fnmc over this stunning document, but the Constitution and the people of the Northern States will sustain the President in his course. It is certainly to be regretted that there was SO much tardincss displayed in this matter |; that because of delay the gulf of separation between the two sections has vtidened, and the Radicals, with the President's silence as an influence, have disffanchissd in . large degree the whites, that through the ascendant cy of the negro the balance of power might be thrown into their hands. This proclamation ia q provision against many dangers which threatened us. and may, perhaps. shield the nation from that disgrace which must have been the inevitable result of an cx- trcme Radical course.

 of those who desire choice fruit trees,

 FINE FRUIT.--Messrs. John D. Nor
 row < Son, proprietors of the Watten- saw Nursery, near Des Arc, Prairie county, have sent us some of the finest fruit in the way of apples that we have
 ever seen in any country. The Penn
 sylvania Cider is variety that grows very large-indeed, we have one of the species s.:: ...::.:. weighs near a pound and quarter. The Morrow Seeding also grows to large size; those we have are
 larger than an ordinary tin cup. The Smoke House variety is likewise oi good size, mellow and of delicious fla. vor. The Thin Skin is a small apple with \ delightful odor aud very deli. cate flavor.
 There is no locality that can produce finer fruit tban this from the Watten.

 adaptability of our soil and climate fol producing fine fruits we hope to set their cultivation become more general Messrs. Morrow < Son have 100,00( fruit trees of every variety, one and two years old, for sale in l867-S, at tho following rates: apples, 20 cents

Human Nature.

The following characters which were portrayed by correspondent of the Metropolitan Record, from Mississippi, we clip from the Memphis Appeal of the 2lst instant, and it fills the bill" so exceedingly well, and is equally ap- plicar.e to this State, that we give it a place in our columns. If we are not very much mistaken, we recognize these peculiar characteristics in some of the Arkansas "so called," who were as fierce as "bull terrier" in their pro- testations against anything like sympa- thy for Sambo, gre now remarkably afFectionate toward their "unblesched" friends. The writer says:
 "Still another radical speech maker was captain of what was known as q guerilla company. This gentleman, we arc informed, takes great pleasure in assuring the freedmen ",hat he did not serve in the army to perpetuatc their bondage, aud that he did the union cause no harm whatever" This we can readily believe, so far as the spilling of blood was concerned; but l9ve a distinct recollection that the gentleman and his band were very suc- the Tennessee border from union citi- zcns. and that they sold the same very cheap to the rebels in this vicinity.
 Another--and the last picture which we shall st present portray--is of a man who urgees "that no race of peo- pie on earth is so much deserving of our friendship, kindness, confidence and esteem as the negroes" Now this last gentleman is universally popular with the colorcd friends, and we have no doubt that when engaged with them in private social conversation, he ex- pressed much more than in public, thus pleasantly paving the way not only to political, but to social equality also. The wonder is that this gentleman, be- ing large slave-owner before the war, and moreover addicted to the habit of giving them ''thc dcvir' pretty fre- ouentiv, did not sooner ascertain that they deserved his skindness and sym pathy.' When his slightest commands were to his slaves iaw, strictly enforced by the memorable lash, and from which there was no appeal, where was his friendship, his esteem, his sympathy {? But, presto! change. By the hocus- pocas tricks of the war, his slaves have become freedmen, and if he does strike one, the insulted darkey has the right to return blow for blow; thus he sud- denly perceives the necessity of sym pathy, of esteem, and tenders his hand, and with it his confidence and friend ship"

THE ooNVENTIuN QUESTION

We have heard repeated ailusions to tho uilence of the "Citisen" concerning | convention when almost every paper in tho State has committed itself either for or against the measure. In order to satisfy those who wish to know our position touching this question, we have to say, that with tho tights of the present before us, we can sec no possible good resulting from action in this matter. To oppose convention will bring us no reward either individ- ually or nationally, it will not change tho detersmination of the radical party, nor will it effect in the least degree their policy-convention or no con- vent;on-the radical party so long as 1t retains power, will contend for it's own advancement, making the restor- stion of the Union . secondary ccnsid- cration. It is their. policy to ride roughly over every thing that stands In opposition to thcol and establish their own supremacy, even though 1t be at the expense of half the nation Hence, to oppose them at this crisis is as If we tried to cheek the current of q mighty stream with a straw. On the ether hand, nothing can be gained by advocating a convention no guarantee can be given that the deliberations of any body of men will be respected, or their determinations enforced. How Arkansas or any other State can in this way be brought into the Union we cannot see. By what authority is the government of ArAansas plotted out of existence, when three years ago it was recognized as loyal by Mr. Lincoln. During the whole war there was in Virginia Government recognized as legitimate by the United States and supported by the Supreme court, what possible strength can convention add to these governments ? The govern ment of Louisiana vas legal in the eyes of the congress of T4, is { convention needed to mako it respectable in '67? The truth is the radical party operate for power, they, in '64 contended, that to save the Union was their chief end
 they have had their own way and the Union is not preserved but worse broken after two years and half of peace than when the cry of war was hushed throughout the whole nation.
 From these facts, we say, the better policy for Arkansas is to let this thing elcne and wait. The political sky is no where clear-significant changes have been madc-others arc brewing. A new party may soon take the reigns of government whether for the better we cannot tell, but let us hold onr- selves in check, neither aiding, for this we can not do on principle, nor cp- wSaHda SSiiq6|dgs ynthf SfaiGblst. Sgr tai sails sions, if any slumber, and make their rule moro oppressive to the people and grievous to the nation.

What They Fought For and What
 They Have Got.

No braver soldier than General w W. H. Davis went forth as volunteer from Pennsylvania. He was one oi
 the very first to take up arms, and the
 many wounds he received abundantly y
 attest his bravery. In the following
 article from his paper, the Doylestown Pennsylvania) Democrat he tells his
 surviving comrads what they fought for, and shows them what they got.-- Let every soldier read it.:
 Never in the world were people
 more deceived and swindled than ours
 in the result of the late unfortunate civil war. We fought for one thing ana have got something else. When the war was begun the Government
 made such solemn assurances that it was only to be waged to restore the Constitution and preserve the Union of their fathers, which had conferred so many blessings on them and their children, made them willing to risk everything for it's preservation. When the cry was raised that the South had unjustly taken up arms to break up the Union and destroy the Constitution, our people, almost to q man, rose mp to resist. The occasion struck deep into the great patriotic heart of the North, and the whole country gave up her men and means. The Union and the Constitution were the great battle cry, which rcsounded from thc lakes to the Potomac, and from the St. Johns 10 the Pacific. No one thought or talked Of anything else-and the soldiers had no intention of fighting for anything else. For the Union, fathers and moth- CTS gave up their sons, sisters their brothers, and sweethearts their lovers. They blessed them when they went to the ncid, aud offered them . willing sacrifice on tho altar of their country. What else could they have done for cause so sacred? For the Union men of all degrees submitted to the most onerous taxes and willingly gave of their abundant or scanty store, because they deemed it would advance the great cause and hasten tho return oi peace, prosperity and united country. It is useless for us to call the attention of our readers to the sacrifices made by the North. We need only to point to the half million of our sons and brOth- CTS slain in battle or maimed for lite, and the three thousand millions of dol io-s spe,i! of the wealth If 'h. people,
