| From THE TERRITORIES copy as follows from
the Washington (Ark Telegraph of the 10th, in rela
ton to affairs in Hampstead and Lafayette, territory
Arkansas:
command we hear, of Col McWhirter passed through
town yesterday route for Lewsrle in Lafayette
county, WHITTIER WetnndeFstsnd; the entire command
is moving. We have understood that The citizen
were organising the militia there SO IS to have the
county on War footing by the time Gen. Cattersor
arrived, SO that he saw proper he could review then
and pass to Columbia. Also, that it was the intcn
ton to make depot of comnisSarv and uuartermas
ters stores at Lewisvie, to put the command to a,
little Inconvenience possible, and save if practicable
the necessity of toraSng parties being sent out. From
frequent inquiries, We are satisfied that the evils com
planned of by the authorities the work Of non resi-
dents of the county, and that the citizens of that coun
ty are as order-lopng any people in the State
There have been depredations committed there, but in
every instance, as far learn they have been
the work of outsiders.
The Jefferson Times of the l7th speaks os follows,
of the condition Of affairs in that portion of the terri
tory of Texas:
Since last the military force at this place has
been increased by the arrival of nine companies of the
18th U. S. Infantry, making thirteen companies in all
under command of Brevet Brigadier General Geo. P
Bael The city presents somewhat the appearance of
a military encampment of war times In other re-
Poets, however there is degree of harmony pre-
vaiiing that is gratifying under the circumstances.
The officers have nat seemed disposed to exercise any
harsh or undue arbitrary authority but to confne
themselves strictly within the line of duty This
speaks well for them and we have no doubt will be
productive Of good results On the one hand, those
of disposed to complain at this display Of military
authority. will feel more kindly to the soldiers who
know only obedience to orders, while the soldiers
will learn from personal contact with our
citizens, that the siIeports that have unustly con-
verified them infna set OF outlaws has just ounda
ton. We hayeahad occasion, several times to visit
the camps where or friends are confined and can but
express our thanks the kindness and courtesy with
which we have been treated The prisoners themselves
have been allowed to receive almost every attention
their condition sincerely trust that
the time Is not far distant when their innocence OF any
crime, or disposition to violate the laws will be made
manifest and they be restored to their fam
lies and friends No new arrests have been made since
our last, with the exception of Mr.. S. H. Nance who
voluntarily surrendered himself, and DR.. Smith who
vas subsequently discharged Business is going on as
usual and Col Malloy the military Mayoris coopra-
ting With the city counei! in an acceptable manner

AFEMALE CLERKs.-We copy as follows from an off
al report of Gen. Spinner Treasurer of the United
ates.
The experiment of employing females as clerks has
cen SO far as this office is concerned, complete
ess. Indeed, in many kinds of Office work, like the
Manipulating of fractional currency, and in all kinds
IF counting, and in detecting counterfets they excel
and in my opinion to be preferred to male clerks
u There is much difference in point of ability be-
tween the female clerks as there is between the sew
fral classes of male clerks Some Of the former incur
great risks, being responsible for all mistakes in count
sor in overlooking counteriets. Restitution for these
Serrors sometimes takes, during month, more than
$one-half OF the months salary. 1t unfreauentIv
Happens that number unite to make mp the loss of
the unfortunate ones, thus detraetng something from
the Salaries Of each All such are subject TO these
risks should be paid accordingly.
These and other considerations have satisfied me
that all should be better paid than they are and
that the female clerks should be brought up
the pay level of the male clerks.
The truth is, that many of the former now do
much work, if not more and DO it WELL if not bet
ter for 5000 per annum than some of the latter are
able to do, who receive yearly salary Of just twice
that amount. 4s8ssEsEss zSEs
1t is true that these rensr fsofe especially
to one kind Of work, but they apply TO akind Of work
that must be done so long the issue of paper cur
rency shall be continued.

court required it. He told to answer the ques-

gallons of whisky had been added six gallons of prune
wine and two ounces of the oil of juniper berry. In
answer to a question how much all that ooss he re-
piled that he paid six dollars gallon for the oil of u-

And comforter through life.
