Er Gen. Franz Sigel, it is said, offers
to lead division of German volunteers
from New York to make a descent upon
the coast Of France and attack Napoleon
in his rear We would like to know what
Gen. Sigel is, whether he is German or
an American. AS King William is fight
ing as a believer in the divine right OF
kings-a principle utterly repudiated by
the Government of the United States
we cannot imagine how so radical Re
publican as Sigel can give him the least
countenance or support. A conflict of
duties exists in the premises utterly ir-
reconcilable. When Gen. Sigel, at the
head of his bumming division, champion
cd universal suffrage, popular rights, and
all the rest of the principles that we have
so often been told were enshrned in the
folds of the old flag, he clearly had no
principles in common with Prussia or
King William, and when he turns up now
as a fiery partisan of divine rights, we
can only regard him rs sort of free
lance--a soldier ofiortunc-a profession
al cut-throat, who fights for pay, cham
pioning any cause, any principle, any
country, SO that it fills his pockets. Gen.
Sigel carried war, famine and desolation
into the South to an extent incompatible
with high courage or honor, and for a
cause and people to which he now asserts
himself as alien in heart as he is in ma
tivi,y. A man so acting deserves the
worst name in the vocabulary. 1t is sin.
cerely to be hoped he will go to Europe
and stay there, or if he remains here, that
he will court becoming retirement of
place and speech. o. Times.

Letter from the Attorney General.

In "grubbing around among the
" dead wood" of the Radical party, we
recently came across the following letter
from the Attorney General Of the State
addressed to citizen of Fort Smith.
Taking into consideration the recent
speech Of Gov. Clayton, at Pine Bluff, in
which he expresses determination to
oust 1t. Gov. Johnson from his position
as It. Gov Governor of the State, there
is more significance attached to the let
ter than at first appears to the casual
reader. That it is part Of the program.
me of Clayton, in working his way to
the Senate, to impcach and remove John
son, there is no doubt, Perhaps the
friends of It. Gov. Johnson in Western
Arkansas, will remain quiet during the
coming canvass and allow him to be tied
hand and foot ready for slaughter, at the
bidding of Powell Clayton. We shall
see.

EDITOR PRESS -
Ileft your town on the 4th instant, and
drove slowly along the road towards Little
Rock, found the crops very promising and
one and all of the settlers in good spirits.
made Gen. Miller's stage stand about six o.
clock, but thought l would push on furthcras
the evening was pleasant; but had hardly
drivch half a mile before five large. snowy
white tents met my gaze, and on coming up
on them found that they constituted the camp
of the Engineering Corps of the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad. So, thought would
ask them few questions; but none would
they answer, until had my horse taken out
and myself comfortably seated in the head
quarter tent, with Major Pruyn, who has
charge Of the party, together with MIR. J. VI
Browne, his assistant at the transit, and Mr..
Williston at the level-and then and only
then would they consent to give me the fol-
lowing information. will proceed as near
as possible in the language received it:
Question.-llow do you find the country,
Major?
Answer.-Nery rough, sir. Just look a
that profile; there, sir, that is what the people
call a "dead level" country, What do you
think of it, sir?
Well, it is little rough looking, but cannot
see as you have much work; your cuts are
light, and / also see that wherever you have
cut you have Il hole to use it in.
Yes, sir, that is true, but it has taken pa
tience, and four miles of preliminary have
been run to obtain one mile of location. But
now, sir, we will rush things, as l intend
working up the old clearing, which was done
twelve years ago, and by this means, | expect
to make mile a day, SO that we will be in
Fort Smith by the lst OF September. We en-
tered Crawford county this evening, and to-
morrow we move our camp five miles farther
on.
GLOW are they getting on down below
A'-Well, they are hard at work on the 9th
division, and men are busy clearing Off the
timber from the 10th, which ends a mile be-
low Spadra.
So, my readers, you can see we are bound to
