Affairs In Arkansas are much the
same as they were at the time of our
last issue, so far as the belligerent forces
are concerned. King White has had
two small engagements with the Brooks
forces near Pine Bluff, in which several
Brooks men were killed and many
wounded and several Baxter men wound,
ed. The President still stands aloof and
the people Of the State are of course,
held in the greatest suspense as to the

superintendent Fleming says that the
passage by Congress of the Civil Rights
Bill with the school feature in it, would
be disastrous to the public school system
of Tennessee; and he might have added
to the system of every other southern
State, so far as the white people are con-
cerned. The white people of Tennessee
will eventually have to meet this quesA
ton ofsocial equality with negroes and
it is folly to be 30 mute about il for the
purpose of securing few colored votes.
The better and more reasonable class of
negroes see it as We do and require no
bolstering up. AS for the fanatics
among them, led on by q few white
scoundrels, there is no convincing them
of any thing that is reasonable.

TIE TIE FRoET-The Appeal of late
date says that the people of Middle Ten
nessee are taking an active interest in
the Memphis and Knoxville railroad.
Maury county will subscribe ninety
thousand dollars to the Memphis road.
Pulaski and Giles county will furnish
sixty-fve thousand dollars TO that part
of the road from Pulaski to Lawrence>
burg. Lawrence and Wayne will build
it through these counties. Our Mem
phis convention has inspired them with
renewed hope, and they are all anxious
to open connection with Memphis, and
to pour into our city their products,
| mineral, agricultural and manufacturing.
Let the work 60 bravely on in eur part
Of the State, and We will soon have a
railroad to Pulaski, Columbia and Fay
! etteyille, and another route to Hunts
vile and Florence, for it is only twenty
miles further from Huntsville to Mem
phis by Pulaski than by Decatur, and
only eight niles furth er from Florence
to Memphis by SaItillo and Bolivar than
by Tuscunbia and the Memphis and
Charleston railroad.
