WASHINGTON, April. 2I.
 Washington specials state that Brownlow has written to Tennessee Congressman, saying that he hopes Fowler will vote for the deposition of the President, but if he does not the Legislature will demand his resigna- tioR. Fowler treats the letter with contempt. Threats of violence have been made, through anonymous letters, against Grimes, Fowler and others, if they vote against conviction.
 A bill was introduced in the House and referred to the Reconstruction Committee, on admitting Arkansas to

sss~ From Col. James ". Robertson, superintendent, we learn encouraging news respecting the progress of the Little Rock and Memphis railroad. The track is completed from Hopefield to Madison, extending from Hopctield to a point above, so as to connect with the ferry at Memphis. High waters in the Mississippi, however, interfere with the running of the cars at present.
 On the subsistence of the waters i'm mediate arrangements will be made to put a line of stages between Madison and DcVall's Bluff, so that the running time between Little Rock and Mem phis will be made through in 2S hours.
 The contract known as the Gaylord contract, comprising that portion of the road between the St. Francis and White rivers, is progressing as well as the state of the waters and the season of the year will permit.

ses-A Washington correspondent oi

bT-A Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing under date of the l4th, says: ~ ou have little idea, at your distance from the capital, of the pressure brought to bear upon the senate to make them convict Mir. Johnson. Not only are the mails full of admonitory letters, entreaties, appeals to ambition and fear, and laments for the party, if J ohm son be not convicted; but the republi- can newspapers, in the majority of cases, flourish the whip and impreeate upon the personal heads of their senators. Northern men who live in the south have been imported here to add their bescechings. It is almost needless here to add that all those present are aspirants for office in the southern states. At the head of the wbippers-in are such men as Kelley, of Pennsyl- vania, who receives most of these refugees and consigns them to Fornev. who in turn, blows upon his chronieal nose, and asks Heaven to interfere Heaven and the opposite place let For ney alone, as unworthy the virtues of either."

ann rxrara.4Ua.

In a malarious country like ours, it is matter of the highest moment to find an antidote to the infectious dis cases incident or peculiar to the coun- try; many remedies for Chills and Ague, Chills and Fevers have been tried, and ever and anon our ears are greeted with the ho ho l have found it, have found it! or Eureka! Eure- ka but still the masmatic forms of diseases prevail, and all the remedies of the best authors in Allopathy, Fly dropathy and Homeopathy have failed
 to present permanent panacea. It seems that the true remedy is too often overlooked or neglected, to wit modes of life and habits of dieting, or rather regularphysical exertion and temper
 ate rules of dieting. A few simple rules we'll observed would conduce more to the alleviation of the diseased of our country than all the medicines named in the Materia Mcdica, or Dispensato- ries now in use. If this statement be questioned, let us recur to the years of lS62-3-4-5, when the people had not access to Physicians and Drug stores, and compare the state of the health of the people then with what it is now. Luxuries had well nigh ceased, medi- cines were not to be had, and Physi- cians were not called in every time one had headache or toothachc, or every time a child was little sick from eating too much, or had a bad cold. At the close of the war the Southern peo- pie were doubtles the healthiest peo- pie in the world and that fact is readi
 ly understood by all who look at things in the two-fold light of cause and ef- feet; "a priori, a certeriori.' Abste- mious habits of dieting and active ex
 ertion or practical employment, will in any latitude develop a healthy people; ; and the converse of this will produce what we find in most places in our country to-day, lazy, listless, sleeping gormandizers, novel reading, sentimen- tai, fastidious fashionable, one-horse, would-be aristocracy--a kind of pop gun, pennywhistle, non-paying set of parasites, lccchcs or vampyres-drones of society that are eternally buyzing and noising around to attract the at- tention of their own kind. And these are they that would set themselves up as models for others to initiate and pa- tronize and these are they that patron ize stay laws, exemption laws and bank rupt laws, make most noise about pol itics, find most faults with things as we find them, in short find fault with every body and everything, save and except their own dear precious selves these never do anything wrong; they were born philosophers, came into the world like Pallas, from the brain of Jupiter, full armed and equipped to move such would require the lever that Archimides wanted to move the world they are self-doomed to remain eternally ''in statu quo" The best rem edy for these is now upon.us, hard times, scarcity of funds, no credit, and none to help. The coal of fire is upon the tarrapin's back. The ordeal is now being passed that will purge, purify and elevate people well nigh demor- alized. The remedy may be bitter one, but it will doubtless be an effectu- sl one ; then let usbear il like true men.

ass~ A nasty glance at the present condition of affairs is calculated to awaken suspicion of greater troubles
 han are really to be apprehended from our present situation. For two years the journals of the country have been holding out the hopes of the future to the people of the South, promising and predicting that unparalleled prosperi- ty was in store for us. In Arkansas we have waited and watched for the happy
 days thnt we fondly hoped would be ours. ere 1868 would have existence.
 But alas these dreams are unrealized, these hopes doomed to disappointment.
 We are to-day at sea as much as ever, without a rudder and without com pass. The schemes of reconstruction proposed have proven miserable fail arcs Our new State Government (alas that we should have such government 2Ias not the confidence of the people. Our law giyers arc void of wisdom, patriotism and mercy. With this con- dition of affairs, can it be wondered that dissatisfaction should exist, and feelings too deep for utterance rankle in the bosom of those who have honestly hoped for better things. With con- stitution and a legislature striving hard to take away from the true citizens of our State every hope of place, position or emolument and give all into the hands of intcrlopers and adventures, who have no interest but tho greed of gain will it surprise any one that dis satisfaction exists, and the prosperity of our State and interests is jeoperdiz- ed. Notwithstanding 30 gloomy pros pect, we would say to those who will heed our advice, stand by your home, stay with your State she is yours by a better right than legislatures can con fer: your home is yours; with it, you have seen fortune go out; here you have lost all here is the place to seek 10 find again. Let wisdom and pru- dence guide you, and regardless of po- litical intolerance or legislative op- pression, wait your time, wait patient ly, wait industriously, and good will come. Bon't be so discouraged as to give place to those who love Arkansas not half SO well as you. If we will wait, leaving the developments of the future to Him who's ways are higher than our ways, the right will triumph.

BsA- Last Saturday ghastly specta- cle was witnessed near St. Louis which sent thrill of horror through the city and makes all Christendom stand aghast: About one hundred collins were seen floating and dancing, gleam- ing and swamping on the bosom of the Mississippi river. This solemn voyage of death and awful procession of the dead over the glassy waves of the treacherous river of death, was explain ed by the fact that the graves of the cholera victims at Arsenal Island have been invaded by the current of the ri- yer, and the graves opened, allowing the collins and uncofiined dead to float away toward Dixie. None of them reached Memphis, as it is supposed the coinns were caught at Cairo to sec what was in them.
