Dols IT Snow AT WHITE PINE ?-The
contradictory statements Of different
people would lead one to doubt whether
the snow aver fell at White Pine. We
are asked every day concerning the
SHOWS in that district, but wo are unable
to answer with confidence. Does the
snow really fall at White Pine? We
asked two men to-day, who arrived
here last night, how deep the snow WAS
at Hamilton when the stage left. One
said there was "a light dust Of snow
just enough to swear BY" while the
other replied, "it vas a id good ten
inches deep" Which was right?-

THE ARKANsAs MUDDLH.

Disorder still reigus in the unhappy
State Of Arkansas. For weeks past
various reports have reached the EaS,
concerning the trouble, some Of them
pretending to explain its origin and
progress, but all confused, contradictory
and doubtful. The old rebel spirit has
unqusstionably been the instigatinV
cause to the acts Of violence committed
and very probably something approach
ing a Kuklux Khan organization will be
found at the bottom Of the whole
trouble. True tho majority Of the &C
counts telegraphsd thence would give 9
different version Of the a1air-uould, in
fact, charge the loyal citizens Of the
State with being the agitators-bu'
then It must be borne in mind that rebeI
minds conceived them, and rebel predi'
leetions gave them n coloring favorable
to the "Lost Cause"
Governor Clayton has been compelled
to call out the militia to suppress the
rioters, but as yet this appears as fi
from attainment as ever. The militia
men themselves have been charged With
tho preparation Of atrosious acts, and
p,eudo petitions are about being pre-.

Around the town of Augusta, in partie'

law and order are out Of joint In Arkan'
sas, and something must speedily b
done to heal the difficulty, or there il
every danger that tho State will fal
