THE loyal Arkansas delegation
consisting of Mr.. VALENTINE DELL,
JAMES M. JOHNSON and NJ. L. STE
PHENsoN, who were appointed at a
convention held at Fort Smith, that
State, arrived in the City of Washing
ton on the 7th inst. They are there
on behalf of the loyal men of their
State to confer with public men, and
present to Congress memorial signed
by the members of the convention and
large number of citizens of that
State. The memorial prays for the
abolishment of the present bastard
State Government ,Yfor the lrecogni.
ton of the right dofs the twenty six
represented States to legislate for the
whole country until the other States
shall have been properly admitted;
for the adoption of. the Constitutional
Amendment by the votes of three
fourths of these twenty-six States;
and for the extension of the right of
suffrage to all loyal men, irrespective
of color, except Indians not taxed.
Arkansas has large body of loyal
white citizens, whose views this me-
mortal embodies. Many of them
were opposed to negro suffrage, year
ago, but now regard it as their only
resource againstIrebel supremacy and
consequent prescription and persecu-
ton to themselves Their delegates
now in that city will, doubtless, re-
ceive the attention they deserve at the
hands of the friends of loyalty. The
representatives of the rebels have
been there, and told their story; we
shall now-lhave an opportunity of
hearing the other side.

THE fact that the people of the
South, in some localities, are not only
Indifferent to Northern men who have
settled in that country, but absolutely
hostile, is growing more and more APP
parent-every day-The papers come
to us from all quarters with accounts
of cruelties, prescriptions, and muir
ders Of citizens Of Northern birth, by
mad fanatics South. General ORD's
report Of the condition of things in
Arkansas is truly frightful Fifty
two murders of freed persons in vari-
Gus parts of the State took place in
three OF. four months, and the General
thinks not half the real number was
reported None of the amurderers
have been punished.
The Dayton (Ohio,) Journal, of the
9Th insts gives a statement of the
murder, hear Resacca, Ca, of a former
citizen of that vicinity, discharged
Federal soldier, who had served as a
veteran; was faithful in the defence
of the flag, and good citizen. AT
the close of the war he (Mr. SCHLOT-
TERBEoK) went Sonth, with stock of
goods, and opened a store at Resacca,
where he transacted a tolerably pros
porous business for several months.
Of late, however, he had discovered
feeling of prejudice growing towards
him, and SO many of his large custom
ers ceased to deal with him that his
business was materially decreased,
and at length he was plainly warned
that he must leave the country He
advised his friends in Ohio of the
state of affairs down there, but qde-
clined to close business and leave the
place. Al few weeks ago he was miss
ing, and on immediate search by some
friends there, he was not to be found.
About ted days after, however, when
the search was about to. be abandoned;
the dead body of DIR. ScHEoTTERBEdK
was found in o forest, a few miles, from
Resacca, pierced with six balls from
pistol or . rife OF course it is.im-
possible to learn who the villains were
who perpetfated this diabolicaI act,
nor is ii likely they VIII ever be
brought to justice. Of course such a |
state of feeling does not exist in all |
parts of the South; at least, we have |
charity to: believe that it does not;
but in all cases where such outrages
are committed, and where local laws |
and influence are not sufficient to pro-
tect all citizens, it is but just and right !
that the power of the Federal Gov
eminent should be exercised so as to |
strike terror into the hearts of all |
such cruel monsters. -.

What Can Woman do but Weep ?

W udt YAH w oIdu 10 puG weep
Ny country Ike graveyard blooms
Yet what can woman do but weep?
Like ghosts her children haunt the tomb;
Yet what can woman do but weep?
The air is heavy with her grief;
The earth is heavy with her dead
And sorrow crowns her dropping head,
With the thorns of blind belief
and thus she haunts my troubled sleep
Yet what can woman do but weep?
l raise my eyes unto her face
By suff'ring purified and weep;
Oh, mother of an ancient race,
What can woman do but weep?
When thou ddst wed the gods of old
There sprang forth heroes from thy love,
Full armed as from the brain of Joye;
But now thou lowest the false and cold;
And slaves from thine embraces creep
So what can woman do but weep?
Thou shon'st of old like fiery Mars
In the sky of nations, so weep
A planet mid the lesser stars,
The sea, with his melodious lips
Once sung submission at thy feet,
What shores, that felt his wild heart beat,
But hailed the coming of thy ships?
And nova wreck upon the Deep
So what can woman do but weep?
Once throned upon the hills fair queen,
And but the summer skies to weep;
Thy fields all waving gold and green,
And but the dewy nights to weep.
Thy limbs by letters undefled
Thy fair face glowing in the sun;
All God, that thy young life should run
To ruin, and where beauty smiled,
Black harvests grow for death to reap;
Yet what can woman do but weep?
Temples rise to Heaven, but men
Droop, and like weak women weep
Stink into their graves, but then
What can woman do but weep?
All, cunning fends tits ye control
Slave makers to the kings of earth,
Beginning at mans very birth,
10 weave your nets around the soul
The chains you forge are sure to keep,
Yet what can woman do but weep?
l pray that God may send us men,
Who can do more than help US weep
To strike for liberty and then
Woman can do more than weep
She can wreathe her heroes sword
And she can nerve his good right hand
To strike for her and for her land
And she can pray to Freedoms Lord
