situatiop in Arkansas.

A number of refugees who arrived IN
this city yesterday from Arkansas, fully
confirm the reports previously received
by telegraph, of the wretched condition
of effairs in Arkansas. It is impossible
of endurance, and internal beyond
adequate description. On the pretense
of protection 10 the loyal, Governor
Clayton has sent forth horde of law
breakers, such as could not be got to-
rether for an honest purpose. How
many be has organized, and in how
many directions sent them, can only
be coriectured from the desperate
character and malignant purposes
of this Governor. The town of Augusta
has been occupied, plundered. sacked,
and many of its most peaceable citizens
captured, and its best men driven Oh.
The stores Of merchants in the place
have been Quilted of every description OF
articles, and to amounts of value reach
ing ten thousand dollars from single
firms. One Upham, who is said to have
a private grudge to crafty, leads
the gang of miscresnts at Augusta,
and spares no indiguiiy, injury or
insult. He consents to no civil rights,
and refuses ell concessions or compro-
misses, holds twenty prominent citizens
as hostages to be shot in case resistance
is made to his outrages, and prepares
turpentine balls, and gathers combusti'
BILE materials to burn the place, while
the citizens are so helpless as to be
clad to give up their property and
escape with their lives. Reinforcements
Of negro militia we're focking 10 to the
support of Uphsm, and greedy to Join
10 the plumber Of the white trash. Peo'
pie in the vicinity Of these transactions
we're in alarm, supposing their turn
weuld come next. Yet, so far as appears
at present, no resistance has been made,
which self-defense and RICH. requires,
and oil that is done and threatened
is borne as quietly as possible. The
only redeeming feature which We can
see IN this report. which comes from
the refugees arriving here, is that Gov.
Clayton's adjuiant had gone to Augusta
and had succeeded In arresting some
part Of the work Of plunder, which can
never be prevented while such instru-
menls are employed as are second only
TO sAvages in ferOcity, and capable
of many low and brutal crimes at
which savages would revolt In such
circumstances We eau have no con-
