Napoleon's incognito was suddenly in
fringed the other day by Mile Alphonsine,
the actress. On the day the Emperor and
Empress went to st. German incognito, the
Emperor, in some way or other, came in
contact with the actresses trimmings, and
the lady, not being ola very mild temper,
turned round on him with an expression
certainly not parliamentary. The Emperor
smiled and begged pardon, when Mile AL
phonsine discovered who he was, and, in
stead of keeping quiet, exclaimed, "Fiee
Emperor" and his incognito was all over.

NrOur columns are crowded this week with the Monroe county tax list, which prccludes our usual amount of news matter, river report, etc. We cannot re.rain, however, from men, tioning the steamer Commercial in con neotiou with the "hop" given by Capt Ashford, her commanders, on last eve ming. A sumptuous repast was set at 12 clock, the table being ladened with all the delicacies to suit the most fas- tidious taste. The fact is, William Griffith, the gentlemanly and polite Steward, knows how to serve up nice things, and he seems to take pleasure in doing it. He has our thanks for the courtesy shown us last evening, in the shape of any amount of good things sent to our office.

THE WHITE MANS GOVERN
 MENT.

Notwithstanding the mighty efforts that have been put forth by the radical party to hold in hand, and control the government, it is with profound grati- tude that the shadow Of their depart ing power is looked upon. The exam pie of the northern democracy in their emphatic repudiation of negro suffrage, has infused new hope into the hearts of men of all parties in the South so that that which is. deuied us in the halls of national legislation we may hope to gain by united effort at the ballot-box. In efforts to establish n white mans party in the South, that will cooperate with the democracy of the North, in their endeavor to de- throne radicalism, we are proud to say, Arkansas is not whit behind the fore most. Already she has buckled on the armour,and is preparing for the great political contest, that this coming Fall must restore us to honored privileges or seal us to radicalism with it's perni- cious influences. A Democratic State Convention is called and throughout the whole State, counties and town ships are catching up the cry and send ing forth one to the other, words of cheer and expressions of determina- ton. A mighty effort will be made, must be made for the defeat of the pur- poses of the radical party in Arkansas. Their energy will be bent to fastep ups on us negro suffrage with all the ills that will flow from it. To thwart them in this and to vindicate the honor of our State, these organizations are in- tended. Yet we as people are not sufficiently alive to the responsibility that devolves upon us. In order to put forth our whole strength in Arkansas against oppression and wrong, it is necessary that the people understand one another and this can only be &C., complished by the means proposed. Let State Convention be held and its determinations endorsed by county and ratified by townships in organized meetings; let every citizen be reached and awakened to his individual respon- sibility in these times of trouble, and all that we hope for may be obtained in our State. Nor does the necessity for thorough organization of the masses holding that this is and should be white mau's government, stop with these local causes. From the North, East and West come the evidence that the great national contest of November will involve the salvation of the coun- try. Would we take part in our own delivery from wretchedness, let Us be at york. Let Democrats, Whigs. and men of all parties come together upon one platform, and resolve to act and act nightly for the overthrow of the unprincipled party that now holds the government in its hands. In the con- tests that are toacome. both State and National. We know not what the par ticuar party doctrines may be, but We are opposed to negro suffrage unalter- ably. and that party that holds to this doctrine. and dares declare that this is white mans government shall meet with oursupport. People of Arkansas, let us act with united determination to defeat prejudice with principle, and He who shapes all things for the accomp- fish of His purposes, will give Us vic tory. ~
