TT. LOUIS, Nov. 12.-Another attempt was
made by parties here, last evening, to ship arms
TO Little Rock, Ark. There were twelve boxes
of muskets and revolve-s taken to the steamer,
but Captain Beasley refused to carry them for
any consideration whatever, and they were
taken back.
1t is rumoreG that Governor Clayton sent for
these arms to replace those destroyed some time
ago. Parties here have probably purchased
them second hand at Government sales.
About $4,000 worth of freight was destroyed

The pressure for money continues heavy, aud
call loans on Government collateral range from
8 TO l2l per cent, and on mixed securities from
8 TO l5 per cent. Business is dull-that the
volume OF trade should be light is not to be
wondered at, under the circumstances, for
while many holders are naturally deslrOus of
realizing, even al prices below the cost of pro-
ducton or importation, buyers are not to be
pted hey ond the most exigent aud immediate
wants of consumption. So much incertItude
exists in regard 10 the future, indeed that ousl-
ness men do not attempt TO forecast ii, but
prefer leaving it to take care of itself. Tney

as to be prepared for any emergency.
The Stock market was dull this morning,
without, however, much change in prices.

piled with grass and water. The only
trees found here are the pinOn and q
scrubby species ofjuniper. The guam

recent estimates, there are 200, 900 acres
of arabic land in the county, the most
of which il now natural meadow
There are 1900 acres of land enclosed,

CORRESPONDENCE


Mr. f. w. SUMNER, the writer Of
the following letter, has heretofore suf-
fered everything but death from the
rebels, having been confined for long
time in one Of the Iron Cages in Littlc
Rock, Ark. He was finally liberated
by our troops, and at the close of the
war returned to his family and home
in Texas. Since his return he has been
shot twice, and manned for life, because
he Is an outspokcn, fearless Union man.
We sincerely hope that Mr.. Sumner
will be protected long enough to see
peace and good order restored to his
adopted state. We fear, however, that
he will fall victim to rebel hate

AUSTIN, Texas, June 2G, 1868 !
UNCLE SCUYLER:-I have been down
here about one month, taking part in
trying to make II constitution for the
State of Texas but, in my opinion, it
matters very little what sort of con
stitutiOn we frame, as the rebels are de-
| termincd to defeat it at all hazards. -
The failure to impcach old "a. j. has
encouraged them to come ont boldly in
numbering Union men
Since | left home there has been no
| less than ten or twelve Union men shot
| by rebels in my vicinity; and out of
, that number, about eight of them were
| killed. Several of these men were per-
sonal friends of mine. What are we to
! do ? We have become so used to hear
ing of our ncighbois and near friends
being murdered in cold blood, that it
+ ceases to excite or create the slightest
sensation.
! My brothcr-in-law at Sherman, in
| writing to me Il few daysago, remark cd,
ironically, that times had become quite
/ pcaceable, rs there had pccn no one
| killed in Grayson County for two days.
! These troubles are not confined alone to
my neighborhood. You will see by the
enclosed report of the Committee ON
Lawlcssness and Crime (of which ! am
Il mCmbcr), the bad state Of affairs that
exists in Texas. You will bear in mind
that this is not II full report, a. we have
several more witnesses to examine yet.

Whom last saw her cold and white
ON her maiden bed cNtonded,
II seemed 10 me that with the light
Ol her life my own was ended.
1t seemed to me that could not bear
The burden Of life without her;
TO see the sunshine, feel the air,
Tllat could never more play about her
Lovingly play round her lovely head,
Giving fond and playful kisses,
Making the rose on her check more rcd
Stirring her Sun-gilt trcsScs
felt as though could never bcnr
The ceasclcsS pain and pressure
OF endless days, when she might not share
ohc sorrow of mine, or pleasure.
Stark and palid cold she lay,
Not shc-thc soul warmed wuman--
But the dreadful frigd image OF clay
That with her had nothing In common.
Among the flowers about the bier
! noted II lalEc-oyed blossom,
That looked al me through dcwy tear,
As it lay on her litclcSs bosom.
\ large white daisy, Kissed its face,
In her cold, dead hand laid II,
And bid II nrNcrmorc leave that place,
Though thc breath Of the grave should lndc 1t
| fnncod that She would feel It there
And that when She WAS in heaven
She would send me assign that the bond which
here
SO bound us should not he riven.
Perhaps childish and wild belief
But when in some hopeless sorrow
Tint rejects all thought of a common relief,
The heart Is luiu 10 borrow
From the realms of fancy, some hope, som,
dream,
IL may bc some superstition,
Tint, however childish or wild, will seem
Like real hcJycu-scnt vision.
And so With me. when the friendly ni4ht

But mind them well and you will find,
Not hindmost is the printer.

That you might not grow up n fool
Had all, in scientific rule,
Been published by the printer.
How do your presidents and kings
Govern SO many things?

Would sometimes scarce know what to do,
Could they not get n certain view
Ofwurll done by the printer.

OF all the eases, till he looks
Upon the pages of the books

But high as he his head may cast,

The various goods the merchant sells,
Inviting all the bcaus and bellies?
WHO Is II but the printer?

OF different size, of different fuce,

How obvious to the printer.

And short coats and fly crnvats,-

And look how bCautuOus and complete,
And lovely to the printer.

And since the world will have it so.
