THE following order, ,issued from Sub District Headquarters, says the Little Rock Conservative, showes what our al ready oyerburdened people may expect The poor for whom suitable provision is ordered to be made, and for whose supper, the load of taxation must be increased, are chiefly the negroes who idled and trifed away their time during the summer, at tending political meetings and neglecting the interests of their employers, and who now fad themselves without food, and no Government supplies to draw from. Their bad conduct has ruined hundreds of plant CTS in the State; but that is not taken into the account. Had any of these planters who have suffered by the failure of the negroes to comply with their contracts, failed in any part of their engagements, the Bureau would undoubtedly have found speedy means of enforcing the " rights ot the freedmen" Here is the order for the support of the poor:"
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Nov. 6, 1867. General Orders No. Is.
 Pursuant to instructions from the Ere vet Major General commanding the Fourth Military District, the attention of County Courts is called to the provisions of chap ter l25, Gould's Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas, for the support of the poor. The time has come when the necessity for the law is far more apparent than it was to its authors, yet, instead of more vigor- ous application of it to meet the increased demand, it is, in most cases, very indiffer- ently applied, and in some cases neglected altogether. The County Courts are re- quircd to make suitable provision forth with, under the statute, for the support of their poor, by the establishment of aims houses, and such other means as circum- stances may suggest. All officials, civil and military, are directed to report any willful or undue neglect of this order, that a special inspection and investigation may be ordered in the case, and action taken therein accordingly.

 The railroad running from Vicks- burg to Meridian is said to be in better condition at the present time than at any ormer period since it's completion. The road has almost been rebuilt throughout, new cross-tics and irons laid down, cuts widened, and number of elegant passen- ger cars and locomotives added to the roll. ing stock. A vast amount of business if done by this road, perhaps larger than any other in the State.
 dpprehensions of violent outbreak among the negroes have existed for some days at Okolona and also at Verona. The late proclamation of Gov. Humphreys greatly incensed the negroes, whose hopes of being snugly installed at an carly hour in the comfortable houses and property oi she white people were so sanguine that they do not feel inclined to give them uF st the command of the Governor, rein forced by Gen. Ord. Failing to secure the prize in peaceful way, they propose aow to help themselves by force, and to this end have armed themselves and are banding together, though no open hostili ties have occurred yet, so far as our infor nation goes. The Mayors of the towns above named made application in person to the military commander here for pro. tection, but that officer, not feeling au ;horized to send troops so far, referred the gentlemen to Gen. Ord, whose action in the premises we have not learned.
 There was much excitement among the citizens of those places and the country adjacent, and apprehensions were preva- lent that Okolona would be burned by the infuriated mob.-[ Corinth (.hiss.) News, Dec. 21.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

Another great enterprise is near itc
completion. 1t is expected that the
Suez canal will be open for vessels Of
the largest size in the coarsc Of Octo-
Der. Its depth is 26 feet, in width
from $50 to 300 feet; its cost about
$50, 100000, and it will shorten the
navigation between Europe end India
by about ouc-half: 1t belongs to .
French joint stock company, end its
construction is due to tho geniss, en-
ergy, and persistence of NJ. Ferdinand
de Lessers, a grandson Of Lafayette.
Much of the excavation was done by
machinery, and where heavy Smssonry
has been needed to guard tho canal
against the influx of sand from the
Mediterranean, artificial stone has been
manufactured for the purpose, out Of
sand aud hydrauli, lime. About co.
900 Europeans have been employed on
the work, aud are settled in TONNE aloas

have also worked at it irreeularly. 1t

it ~ certain to be cuccessful. IL eaa-

RORATl0 SEYMOUR IN 1851,

During speech at Milwaukee las.
week, Hon. Geo. W. Allen, who has
for many years been personally &C.
qnainted with Horatio Seymour, told
what was done in Milwaukee at the
breaking out Of the rebellion. Seymour
was in Milwaukee, when meeting was
held at the Chamber Of Commerce BY
War Democrats. The crowd desired
to hear from Gov. Seymour, when,
said Mr.. Allen
left and fastened on in advance tc
the Newhall House to apprise him that
the crowd would shortly be there and
call him out. I went into the ladies'
parlor and found him there sitting
alone tossing his hat in his hand
Said ], "Governor, how do you do to-.
day Z" Said he, II am very well."-
Said ], "a large crowd from the Cham
Der Of Commerce will be here in few
moments to bear you speak upon this
great matter Of the Inauguration of the
war;" Said be, II shall not go." l
felt when 1 heard this as thous Oh 1 had
been struck BY lightning. I started
back moment, and then said, "Sey-
mour, what do you mean ?" His reply
was, ~ don't know how this thing is
going to turn yet" Great sensation. ]
Those were his exact words. l then
told bim the crowd would be there in a
moment. He asked me if l would not
60 upon the balcony and tell then, he
,cas sick. I told him I would not and
turned upon my heel and left him.
Following the course Of CIV. Sey-
mour, the speaker declared that
throughout our whole war Seymour
was in sympathy with the South, and
this was undoubtedly the reason why
he received tho Democratic nomination
for Presidency.
