LET THE NEGRO FBwAaE.-The New York Citizen, of the 2lth, edited by (Afiles O'Rc;lly) Gen. Halpin, who served with distinction in the United States army during tLe war, says:
 "The daily papers are making great muddle over the opinions of the prom incnt generals and the people at large on the question of rcconstruction.-- They tell us that Grant approves of tho course of the President, that Thomas agrees with Sheridan, and that Shcr- man favors the plan of Congress, or vice versa, according to their political bias. We can tell them all that if the Congressional system is to put the South in possession of the negroes, it does not meet the views of the people, the sailors in our fleets, the soldiers in our armies, the merchants at their desks, the farmers at their blows, or any other large body of our citizens. St. Domingo is not hat we fought for we do not want it, and will not have it; and that the niggcrs, whether white or black, may understand as well first as last. Nations are cruel when driven to despair, and, rather than surrender our white nationality, we will massa- ere and enslave every colored man in the States. This may be bold language and unconventional, but we ask our readers whether it does not meet the congrmation of their hearts? Wehave sacrificed too many whites for prin- ciple to stop at taking the lives of a few worthless blacks.

MORTON & VAUGHAN.-Itw will be seen by reference to the Professional cards, that the above named gentlemen have associated themselves in the practice of Law in this city. Judge Morton, the senior partner, was formerly citizen of Friar's Point, Miss, and is well re- commended, not only as man of rare legal attachments, but as gentleman in the fullest sense of the term. Our old friend and fellow citizen, Horace P. Vaughan, is too we'll known for his integrity and business qualifications, to require any commendation at our hands, suffice it to say, that for relia- bility and promptness, there is not firm in whom greater confidence may be imposed for the transaction of all business in their line.

s%No city in the west is striving harder than Memphis to merit the trade of Arkansas, and in very few of the northern cities are greater inducements held out than are offered by the mer- chants of the Bluff City.

hESometimc since the office of the Eagle newspaper at Camden, Ark, was destroyed by soldiers lead by cne Ma for Pierce. Col. Gilbert, commanding post, wrote to Gen. Ord, in which he said the censure of the press directed against the servants of the people may be endured, but that Gen. Ord ''and the military forces detailed to enable him to perform his duties. arc not the servants of the people of Arkansas, but rather their masters. and it is felt to be great piece of impertinencc for news papers in this State to comment upon the military under any circumstances whatever Gen. Ord, in his reply, says:
 "Your letter of the 10th ult., in which you attempt to justify an act of par ty of soldiers who, misled by an officer, forcibly entered citizens house and destroyed his property, is received You will please explain why this act was not prevented by you as post com- mander, and if the requirements of the gu aTticlc VI Wof navy occi toiipiicu with. Your assertion that the military forces are not the servants of the peo- pie of Arkansas, but rather their mas ters, is unjust both to the people and the military and unfounded in fact The military forces are servants of the laws, and the laws are for the benefit of tho people. The assumption that a party of soldiers could, Ut their own option, forcibiy destroy citizens prop erty and commit . gross violation of the public peace, would not be tolera- ted under a Napoleon"

Tho undersigned respectfully tenders his services as agent for the sale of your cotton in this city and 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 mere hsnt. You doubtless we'll remember with what per tinacity (previous to the war). amounting in some instances to annoyance, you were soli- cited for your business at the rate of hfty cents per bale commission, free of drayage, and stored for twelve months without charge. Then (as will be again) 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 prostratcd than planters and planting and none so much deserve to be fostered and aided in their. unfortunate changed condition. How that aid so much needed has been metcd out you opine too well know. Oncrous government taxes in general, and special tax upon your leading production, Cotton, large profits you have had to pay upon supplies furnished, commissions on sales ranging from S 50 to Sb per bale. monthly storage at excrbitant prices ana other expenses, os per reference 10 your ac- count sales, ns . sum total will leave you but fittfc II HI tuiuE upVit Wtich " Aco~AAN y~s'N shattered fortunes, or to compete with the new order of nffairs--free labor.

The solicitations of many friends that were former patrons, and desire to promote the interest of the planting community. so far as nay feeble efforts can do so. and the apparent want of gratitude exhibited to Q community that in times past tended so ma 1 ,crially to the prosperity of Memphis and it's mercantile community, has determined me again to offer my services in the capacity as stated The reduced stock of cottons in the 1 United States and short sudplies in 'he hands of New England manufacturers has caused some advance in prices from the late depres- sion, hence early sales may be prudent and reinuncrative; such was the case the past two seasons. and many planters have had cause te regret the acting upon the too common prac. t.cc of holding and drawing upon their cot tons. would advise no planter to send for ward his cotton unless he wished 1t sold upor the first active market.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

The Rads are having glorious time discussing the merits of the many per sous who are prominently mentioned as candidates for tho next Proficiency. Every little pop gun who has sever been guilty of mean thing is through ms friends urging his claims for that high position. Gen. Grant, who at first stood 8 better chance than all others, is rapidly being thrust aside because the Liberty lovers find him too honest to serve their purposes; they say he will not do for they must have statesman at tho White House, that, Grant is a Democrat, and one hundred thousand graves and four millions of frecmcn demand republican President. Amid the terrible confusion made by the aforementioned one hundred thousand, and four million, in their demand for man after their heart, the poor office seeking republicans have a hard time oft. Colfax is down on Grant, Chase won't endorse Colfax, Wade don't like Chase, and tho whole family seem to be generally divided.
 While confusion of the rankcst kind etirs the radical camps, the conscrva- tive party arc rejoicing at their evil dcntly increasing strength. Califor- mia giving large Democratic majori- ty in her late election has filled the Northern Democracy with hope, and dissoncertcd the opposition no little. All this taken in connection with the decided position of Grant. who, when he found that the law did not sustain him in the issue lately made with the President, quietly withdrew his ob- iections and placed himself right on the record and in perfect harmony with President Johnson, is significant Of great results.
