-The Holy Springs, Mississippi, Reporter says: The change in the labor system ofour country is destined, we believe. to make us an agricultural and manufacturing people, and the sooner we realize such to be our des- tiny, the sooner will our country be- come prosperous and happy. Let our farmers raise everything necessary for home comforts, and such a scarcity as now exists will never again be known among us.

DISTRICT COURT.

On the 9th of July next the people of Prairie county will be called upon to vote whether or not we shall have a District Court at Des Arc. We have called attention to this matter before, and we do so again. It is matter in which every citizen in the county is in- tcrested, and by which not one is in jured. The people of this section claim court for the convenience of this portion of the county. The people of the western and central portion of the county will surely not object to this Court, for it will not interfere in any degree with their wishes, conven- fence or designs. We would impress upon the people the importance af ac- ton in the manner. Let it be consid- cred, and let the people on the 9th of July vote for District Court at Dcs Arc, if they have their own interest at heart.

The Board of Registration began their work on yesterday and will con tinuc at this place for five days, when they will go to Hickory Plain, Austin, and the other precincts of the county, giving time and notice at each place. All who have carefully examined the condition of things, and have taken an appropriated view of the situation, must have concluded that to register is our policy, and that it is policy which should be pressed till every man who can has armed himself with a vote to defeat those measures and principles which will certainly be heaped upon us if we allow ourselves-the interested citizens of Aakansas--to fall into the minority. No thinking man will doubt for moment that if we will adopt this plan we can, notwithstand- ing the influence that will be brought to bear against us, keep the balance of State power in our own hands that is, in the hands of those who by birth, by citizenship, and by interest, arc en- titled to its management and capacita- ted for it's administration. If we would have our State escape the woful condition of Tennessee or Missouri if we would have any voice in the admin istration of our State government, we should register and prepare ourselves to express at the ballot box our prefer cnces and views. Let every man in the county, so far as it can be done, meet the commissioners, register, and prepare himself to vote in the coming election. As regards the convention for the purposes set forth in the bill, we will not pretend to advise the peo- pie; they must exercise their own judgment ill this matter. But if they look to us for advice, we say register and vote; if for convention, for such men as will do honor to the State and justice to all. Otherwise NO coNvEN- TON.

The Radicals Preparing for a South
 ern Campaign.

There was meeting last week, as we are informed by Forney's Press, in Washing ton City, of several members of the Ma tional Republican Committee, and a quorum of the Congressional Union Re publican Committee, to take into consider ation the policy to be pursued to protect the interests and devclope the strength of the Radical party in the Southern States, We arc told the discussions were har- monious and friendly throughout, and that on tho great questions of the conduct of the national campaign and the more specific work of thoroughly and systemati- caly canvassing the South, there was evinced perfect concord and unison.
 Efficient and energetic measures will soon be perfected for the dissemination of republican principles and arguments throughout that section of our land so long closed to mails, newspapers and free speech" This meeting it is said, will result in call for meeting of the Ma tional Committee at an early day.
 From such facts as these, which show the activity prevailing in the Radical party and their determination to obtain the political control of the Southern States, the friends of the South may learn what they are to expect. The efforts fof the Radicals to cnlie hten that benighted re- zion will of course chiefly be directed toward the blacks. Upon them they rely for the consummation of their schemes As their plans all contemplate the deg radiation on the white man, they have nothing to hope from them. Only the few who are base enongh to sacrifice their honor and barter their country for the hope of little official plunder, will be influenced by any argument they can make; but the danger is that they will so poison the minds of the blacks, and arouse the indignation of the whites, that state of things will be produced which will result in tumults and collisions of the most fearful and bloody character. Their success depends upon exciting i'll feeling between the races, in making the negroes believe that the whites who have raised, fed and clothed them from childhood, cared for them in sickness and in health, are their natural foes, and this impression they will labor to create, carels>s of the terrible consequences that may result The Radicals have already exposed their hand, and if the people of the South, thus fcrewarned, do not take steps to counter act their machinations the fault will be their own Louisville Courier.

Let us build school house; and again we say, let us build school house. We have written much upon this subject, yet we have not written enough. Every man in Des Arc is di- rectly interested in the cause of educa- tion. Every man in giving expression to his sentiment admits its importance and sees it's necessity; yet it must be said of Des Arc, which cannot be said of any town of its prctcns:ons in the State-her people have no school house, have taken no steps toward building up seat of learning; the cause of cd ucation finds no active advocate within her boundaries. Why is this? why is it that our citizens will engage in other enterprises of less importance and fail in this !? Why is it that thinking men will persist by their inactivity in that course that so greatly injures us at home and speaks out against us abroad. We have said and we say again, if we would have Des Arc city, if we would really prove ourselves interested in the building up of our town, we must have n school house we cannot afford to sit down and do nothing; now is the time for action. Dcs Arc is filled with children; we have teachers in our midst, but where shall they teach !? they occupy their houses at tho pleas ure of those to whom the property be- longs, and were they to say nay where is our remedy? As guardians, as cit izens, we ask the people when your teachers are turned out, denied the privilege of teaching in churches and private houses, what are you going to do? send your children of, perhaps may be not send them to school at all. Shame, shame on people of Des Are, that it can be said they look not sufii- cicntly to their own interest and the interest of their children. Just now, when many of the best men of the whole country arc thrown out from
 home and place by political upheaving, many eyes arc turned toward Arkan- sas; and from Missouri, Tennessee, and the older States, men are coming to our State for a home. Des Arc suits them; its location is fine, it's ad- yantages are great. They like our mills, our churches argue for us, but when they ask for our school houses where is our, answer? what can we say? It is time for us to go to work in earnest in this matter. Our advan- tages of situation will not make a city. If we would attract the intelligent classes, If we really desire that they make their homes with us we must have educational Inducements we

A ST LOUIS RELIC A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from St. Louis, says:
 "While walking through the city, l came upon the oldest house in its limits. This ragged and rib-showing old structure stands on the northwest corner of Third and Plum streets, where it was erected nearly century ago. It is one story, high shouldered relic, looking as if the countless rains that pelted the faggins near by had stealthily driven it a foot or two deeper into the earth. Perpendicular hewed logs, chinked in with lime stone and mortar, compose it's sides, while from the center of the roof towers a stone chim- ney with one immense rude Hue. Of the original building nothing probably remains save the hewed logs and the chimney, but these are so palpably things of the last century that no one with drop of anti quarian reverence in his nature can resist the temptation to stop and muse over the mutations of the hundred years that have scared and blackened them where they stand. When they were first shaped into cabin, tho site of Cincinnati was an unbroken wilderness; St. Louis, itself French hamlet and the thirteen colonies struggling for independence.
