fact that Cot. D. c. Cross has been sac
quilted or discharged by the Military
Commission recently in session st Madi
ION. Col. Cross wac set 81 large after 5
full investigation by the military author
tiles" We had the pleasure Of seeing
Col. Cross yesterday, who showed Us 3
dispatch containing full discharge from
all accusations, by Gen. GiIiem. Like
the Clarion, we, too, congratulate Col
Cross upon his liberation from the tender
mercies of a Military Commission
The Helena Clarion of the 18th sage
Quite 2 number of cur citizens srs leav-
ing for Kentucky, Canada, Cape May,
and other points, to enjoy the sumner.
The town is getting dull, dry and dusty
The general health is yet good. A num-
Der of delegates leave here next week to
attend the New York Convention. They
are ali Pendleton men.
A motion for new trial in the case
of the State VS.. Jackson, colored, for
murder, at Helena, was overruled after
an elaborate trial, by Judge Hanks.
The Little Rock Gdzette of the 18Th
says: The Pulaski county Circuit Court
has completed its business fer the present
term. There are left on the docket IN
tried four hundred and fifty-six civil and
thirty-nine criminal cases, making q to-
tai OF four hundred and ninety-fiv
The Ashley county Times gives no
tice "that there will be meetiDg in the
town Of Hamburg on the 4th day Of July
next, for the purpose Of devisiDg means
for concerted actien in aid of the con-
structiou of the Mississippi, Ou2chita
and Red River Railroad.
The Cbicot Press Of the 9Th says
The corn crop throughout the country is
still Unprecedented in healthful sppear-
aRce aud vigor of growth. Roasting
ears will be abundant IN the fields by the
10Th of June. Some OF the knowing
ones predict that it will not be worth
fifty cents a bishel. Cotton is slowly re-
covering from the effects OF the lice,
which attacked it in such numbers ten
days ago, and will now grow off rapidly.
Ia those fields which escaped the late
visitation Of the said insects, the plant is
looking sufficiently thrifty to cheer the
b1art. 81 tho r,naN da=-rs7HanE
The Little Rock Caste affords this
gratifying picture Of the punctuality Of
county officers: 1.-THE time for Sheriffs
Of counties to report to the State Audi
tor expired on the lat inst. We learn
from mir. Miller, the Auditor, that all
nave settled at his office in full, or in
part, except q half dozeD, only one hay
ing failed entirely-the Sheriff Of Desna,
who has oeen prevented from complet-
ing his collections on account of high
water"
The Arkadelpbia Standard says OF
the crops The accounts of the crops
from ali sections OF the State are most
fastering, and with favorable seasOns
till maturity, the corn crop will be the
most abundant that hiss ever been raised
in Arkansas. Col. Molesr who has just
returned from Scott county, informs
us that the crops ia that county are Is
fine as he ever saw, aud in several Of the
adjacent counties they are equally prom
isiug. The wheat crop in Scott is very
fiue, and Col. NJ. has made arrange
ments with many Of the farmers there
TO bring their wheat to this place,
where it can be sold at good prices for
seed this fall, the crop in this county
proving almost an entire failure. In this
county the corn crop is said to be more
promising than it has been for ten years,
aud as 8 greater breadth Of land has
been planted in corn than usual, the
prospect Of an abundant supply Of bread
stufs for another year, is most fatter-
ing. The cotton crop looks pretty we'll,
though We hear some complaints of lice
in some sections.
Loud complaints were beginning to
be heard Of drouth in every part Of tee
State, but we hear that most opportune
rains have fallen.
