 "GENERAL ORDER No. .--Applicatens have been made to these headquarters imply ing the existsnce of an arbitrary authority in the commanding General touching purely civil controversies. One petitoner solicits this action. another that, and each refers tc some special consideration of grace or favor which he silpposes 10 exist, and which should influence this department
 The number of such applications and the waste of time they involve make it necessary to declare that the administration of civi justice appertains 10 the regular courts. The rights of litigation do not depend upon thu views of the General; they are to be adjudgee .nd settled according to the laws. Arbitrary power, such us he has been urged to assume has no existence here. It is not found in thu laws of Louisiana or Texas, it cannot be de rived from any act or acts of Congress, ant he is restrained by the Constitution and pro hibitcd from action in many particulars.

LOOK AHEAD.

The indications from every quarter of this State, and in fact from almost every State un- der military rule, are, that the people are fast awakening to an understanding of their frue position, and to correct knowledge of the evil intentions of the Radical party. Look ing calmly into the purposes of the Radical Congress, it is easily seen that they have been gradually maturing plans by which, not only the abolition of slavery should be accomp- lished, but positive negro supremacy estah- lished In addition to this, taxes are meas ured out upon us, and authority usurped un- til that which was once government, is now but d mockery. Upon this subject north ern contemporary says: ''to such ends have this party gone thatthe Supreme Court, the great haliwarl of the Constitution and the laws underit, is threatened with destruction. That the Executive department has been stripped gradually of it's rights and prcroga- tive, until the desire of the party in power has almost become the law of the country. And yet all these outrages do not appear to have satisfied this faction. It is not enough that they have destroyed the great monu- ments and guards of civil liberty won in the strifes of six hundred years, and bequeatiIed to us by our Revolutionary sircs, the latehets of whose shoes these individuals would be un, worthy to un'oose; 1t is not enough that they have sioleted the oaths which they took to obey and support the Constitution, that they have inauguratod 2 glieyous military desrot- ism over the South and enforced odious ne gro governments over millions Of white men. They must continue to heap oppressive im- posts and taxes upon the people, waste the public appropriations, aud injnre the great industrial interests of the land in order to fatten capitalists, money changers, and par asites The exhausted and distressed eondi~ ton of the country in consequence of the blind, blundering and vicious legislation which has succeeded tho devastation of civil wa, is now fully admitted and felt by all Still impoverished we are in their blind tanaticsm, this same party will heap upon us heavier taxes, in orler that the negre rem derea worthless to himself and curse to the country, may be supported. Nay, be more than supported, may be elevated to an equal- ity with the white man aud clothed with priv ileges that are denied the best men of the country Shall these things be and we raise not our voice against them, forbid it Al mighty God, People of Arkansas, let US be up And doing; much has been taken from Us but the Constitution is yet left, and upon it let us take firm stand uniting our voice with alf honest men North and South, dare to claim our rights as while men As true etizens, as worthy sons of hoaored sires let us understand each other and regardless of political differences, come together in an un' alterable opposition 10 negro suffrage, and az the purposes of Radicalism are unfolded in State and National policy, let us be ready to meet it as men, and out of confusion order will come.

Such were our thoughts on Thursday night, when near the hour of midnight our ears were greeted with strains of delightful music that foated upon the silent air in melting hymony, drowning us in delicious fonEetfillness of the cares of life and the tolls of the hour. Capt. Elliot. of the steamer Des Arc, with his band of Musicians was serenading us, and right glad were we, for we are of those who feel that "he who has no music in his soul and is not moved by the concord of sweet sounds IS mt for treasons, stratagems and spoils. .

, Ee5y@ The Democracy of Ohio held conven- ton at Columbus, on the Sth inst, and nomi- mated Geo. H. pendleton, as Qhios choice, for President MT. Pendleton being in the city, a committee was appointed to wait upon him and request his presence. He complied and taking the stand said;
 MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN or THE SvENrIoN:r-Languag fails me to express the emotions of my heart at this moment. l thank you for the high honor you have done. I thank you fer the approval of my convic- tions, my character and my conduct; but. gentlemen, thank you still more because this compliment comes from the tried, the true, and the triumphant Democracy of my own native State--a Democracy which, by it's patient and devoted courage, its heroic cf- fort, and its answering fidelity to sound principle, has achieved withia the last year an unparalleled success, and, in the short space of five years. has brought us up from Q minority of hundred thousand to majori- ty in the State. @
 The issues that were presented last year were we'll worthy of the struggle. They were to sustain the supremacy of our white race, and prevent the Afrcanization of the States of the Union and the protection of our own State of Ohio from hybridation, They were te raise from the shoulde~s of a suffering and over-taxed and oppressed people the burdens about to be put on them, and to lead them into n new career of prosperity, and these same issues are to be settled in the coming contest, not only in our own State but in tn, whole country. And if the people of Ohio will do their duty as they have in the past whoever shall be selected as the standard bearer of the Democracy will have the pleas u-e and honor of placing them in victory ant power in the seats of national power.
