FARMS IN ARKANSAs.-Itcturn recle- we'd by the commissioner of the gener- al land office from the local office at Little Rock, Arkansas, show that thir- ty-six farms, comprising, in the aggre- gate, two thousand three hundred and fifty-six acres, were added to the pro- ductive force of the state during the month of September last, under the act of June 2l, 1866, which provides for the disposal of the public lands for homestead actual settlement in the southern states.

NORTH AND SOUTH.

It is singular fact that while the States of the North are throwing off the Radical yoke, and by their voices repudiating republican rule, Vir- ginia, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia are hugging the reconstruction policy which in the judgment of the best men of the country, is ruinous to liberty, and destructive to tho interests of the States. Ohio, Pennsylvania and other States have made their record against negro suffrage, where, heretofore, it was thought the measure had most friends. But here in the South, in Alabama, in Louisiana, in Virginia and in Georgia, the hateful policy of the party in power, has by its oppression driven the people into voting upon themselves what the republican party of the west would not have. We say driven, for we cannot believe that these States would have sanctioned negro suffrage, had they been left to exercise their will without compelling circum- stances forcing them to this course of action. Be this as it may, we must condemn that policy that is so foreign to the true principles of the southern people, and fraught with consequences the evil of which no man can measure. Under this policy the South must be- come the asylum for the negroes or north America, for surely the intelli- rent of this race will not remain north when their privileges are so much greater in the South. It is true many good men in the South, men as brave as any; men interested in the welfare of the country. favor this reconstrnc- ton upon the Congressional plan. All we can say of such is, they are mis- taken in our judgment, in deeming this the best policy for the southern States. Nor do we think it wise to confer npon the negro that privilege which he is so poorly qualified to ex- ercise. While we acknowledge him greatly in the minority, still if he be- comes voter, he is placed at the mer- .cy of designing men who oppose every southern sentiment, and who will so control the negro vote, as to make it too powerful ill opposition to the in- 'terests of the southern States. Op- pressive indeed, must be the condition of people who vote upon themselves a measure which they have always heretofore opposed-many, very many even unto death. What change in seven years. Once Ohio and Pennsyl- vania met Alabama, Georgia and Lou isisna upon bloody fields, for this very cause, now they of the north reject
 while we of the South accept the very thing, that caused those bloody pages with which we are all too familiar, to be written in American history.

A Dresden corresnondent of tn,

A Dresden correspondent of the London daily Telegraph complains bit terly that since the war Americans have swarmed into Europe and taken possession of Brittain's favorite hunt ing grounds. For one Englishman, he says, there are ten Americans in every European city. In Rome and Florence they buy more works of art than all other foreigners put together. In Vi- enna, the very German walters "speak German-English with a Yankee twang," and Paris is "American colo ny"

The Cincinnati Commercial.

The Cincinnati Commercial, re. ferring to the negro suffrage proposi. ton in Ohio, speaks the truth after the following fashion: "Of the proposed amendment we will say that it was un- wise in Congress to make it political necessity for the friends of Congress to offer it and support it at this juncture and its conclusive defeat in Ohio must be accepted as absolute evidence that the extreme Radical policy of convert ing the South into black States is not acceptable to an immense majority of the people of the North.

 ]. Louis Napoleon has done very shrewd and very good thing in deter mining to keep the Universal Exposi- ton open for time longer, the admis- sion fee to be very small for part of the time, and then, for the remainder, admission to be absolutely free to all, for the benefit of the workmen and the poorer classes of Paris, .af' Henry A. Wise, in a letter to the publisher of Pollard's werk entitled "Lee and His Lieutenants," denounces the work, SO far as relates to his own terrific exploits during the late war, as mass of errors which he has neither time nor patience to correct.

b%The Republican Press has grown quite faint over the late democratic victories in the North, and say all sorts of foolish things about corruption, ras- cality, &c. They attribute the defeat of negro suffrage, not to the opposition of the masses to the measure, but to that clause which disfranchises deser- ters. Negro suffrage and the right of deserters to vote .--that's hard on the democracy.

DT-New York, November 2.-A spe- cial to the Herald, dated October 30, says Garabaldi's camp is at Camp Yuibeliers, five miles distant from Rome, and that he has under his command three thousand soldiers, who are well armed and have plenty of provisions. The General has no artillery except two brass guns, taken from the Papal forces during the fight at lNonterondo. They have no tents, and there is little discipline maintained, and the rear is unguarded. Garibaldis headquarters are in full view of Rome, and there are no papal troops between us and the city. The soldiers of the Pope, who have been gradually and steadily fall ing back for some days, have retired with in the line of Notifications of the city. - Before the retirement from the field, they burned all the bridges over the river The Roman peasants residingin the neigh borhood of the contending forces take no interest in the progress of affairs; they are engaged at the plow and tending their focks on the plains the same as usual.- Garibaldi's men do not interfere with them. Eight men of Garibaldi's army are to be executed tomorrow, by sentence of court martial having been convicted of thieving at Monterondo. The men of the force are very enthusiastic in their hopes as to the result of the movement on Rome; but the weather is very cold during nights and this lessons their patriotism and endu- rance not a little. Recruits come in al the average of six hundred daily. Arms and provisions are had in large quantities from the province of Peoni. There has been no actnal engagement since the fights at Viterbo and Monterondo. The priests fought bravely at Monterondo. After the battle Garibaldi's officers begged him tc shoot at once all the prisoners taken in the action, but he refused promptly, and with determination.
