Everybody who could get away has
left. BrowIlow's thieves are lambs
compared with these scoundrels. God
only knows what will become of us
if the United States Government does
not interfere" ai
Now the statement of this cores
pendent is that of every one who
writes or comes from this Radical
cursed region. An entire community
has been placed at the mercy of armed
marauders, melted by cupidity and
malice, and who yscruple at no vii
lainy in the performance of their
work of ruin and devastation. Yet
Radical journals Tennessee chucllle
over these outrages in the name of
"loyalty," and congratulate the coun-
try that "rebels" are receiving their
dues in Arkansas. r., l..,,.. f.,.,... ~
Why General Gillem does not
promptly interpose his authority to
restore quiet seems almost ineXplica-
bic. 1t Is enough for him to know,
without seeking to locate the blame,
that q reign of terror exists in terri
tory under his command. Why does
he not act s.itl ~. .gr,f = ~
In addition to the news contained
in our special dispatch from Duvall's
Bluff, we learn by passengers just
from the st. Francis River, by the
steamer Linton, that negro militia
companies are being raised and sent
to the scene of the disturbances. Our
informants that, on their down
ward trip, they met ut Phillips bar
one company of negro militia, ana al
Helena another, both on their way to
Cross county, where they will march
up Crowley's Ridge. One of these
companies Is commanded by the no.
torious Hawkins, and has committed
all sorts of outrages. We are inform.
ed that they have robbed and plum
dered the people indiscriminately o.
everything they could lay hands, on
horses and mules especially. They
have also committed several murders
and threaten with death all who re
monstrate at all. $1,000 g. ~.
We learn that the villain Upham
and his crew have threatened to seizt
Colonel d. c. Cross and put him t.
death. Luckily Colonel Cross is GU
of the reach Of him and his ilk.-
Many of the Oldest citizens have beer
compelled to leave their homes, ant
those who did not do so have beel
seized and are now held by the infa
nous militia as prisoners and host
ages. Like Upham, Hawkins ant
Others rely on this fact to save them
selves from being attacked. g-aH
We await further news with grea
interest, as it is expecting too niue!
from human beings to believe tina
the people of Arkansas will put u
with this thing any longer.

The illness of Madame La Grange compelled
the manager last night substitute Don Pasquale for

potment to many OF the audience, the performance was
IN the whole SO excellent that there was little cause for
regret Miss Phillips took the part Of Noia. She had
every opportunity to display bsr adprable dramatic
power and in the character Of the saucy little damse she
seemed literally brmming with archness and fun.
The music too was beyond the range OF her voice.
