my intention to indulge III sin gle personal expression but tu speak of public acts ill manner that public man has a right to l speak of them. This despatch was brought to the Secretary of l War, and the Secretary of War brought it to the president ofthe United States, and the following despatch was prepared and for warded to General Thomas, to which I call the attention of the Scnate:-
 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 17, 1866. General Grant will instruct Gen. Thomas that the facts stated in his telegram do not warrant the inter- ference of the military. The admin istration of the laws and the preser- vation of tie peace in Nashville be- long properly to the State authori- ties, and the duty of the United States authorities is not to interfere in any way in the controversy be- tween the public authorities of the State, and General Thomas will strictly abstain from any interfer- ence between them.
 THE PARALLEL CASE IN LOUISIANA.
 Here is precise case, and that was the action of the government. It was believed that it was a civil stfife-a contest between two divisions of the civil govern ment-and was case as stated in the telegram sent back to Gen. Thomas, similar to the one in Louisiana. That despatch was signed by the Secretary of War, and was written in the presence of the president and sent to Gen. Grant to send to Gen. Thomas. He was told that this was not case calling for the interference of the military, and he (General Thomas should abstain from in reference under any circumstan- ces whatever. 1t would seem that this marks the line between the civil and military authorities. There is the precedent of the gov ernment i'll that case, and the cases are almost parallel, and that was what the government did then. What are we told now? We see, then, that the present President of the United States was familiar with and understood what was the action of the gov ernment in case of this kind, and of the military and civil authori- ties. We see, then, that the qucs- tion was not unknown to him, and he has not acted without proper and sufficient information upon the subject. If he has been informed of and acted and carried out the order or telegram that l have read, he must have understood it and have known that it was the true doctrine and principle upon which cases of this kind should be managed by the military.

 The board will organize at once and proceed to the appointment of county boards throughout the state, with the clerk of each coun- ty as secretary thereof. It is impcratively necessary that steps be at once taken looking to well organized and equipped state or ganization, with county branches extending throughout the entire state, so that the main portion of our work will be accomplished be- fore the close of the present year. Arkansas will be afforded an equal opportunity with the most highly favored of her sister states to display before the world those rich treasures which have hereto fore been know only under the rather vague designation of ''un- developed resources.
 If we neglect to improve this golden opportunity we can blame only ourselves if, hereafter, we find ourselves as state and q people unknown to the outside world, or known only through the misunderstanding and misreprc sentation under which we have tC q great extent suffered heretofore

lSpecIai correspondence oI l.. h. uaZettc.
 CHICAGO, April 8, 1875.
 A very remarkable occurrence took place last evening at the Sherman house. A meeting of the several committees appointed to make suitable arrangements for the reunion of the federal soldiers and sailors of the late war on the I2th prox. was there held. The attendance was quite numerous, and of truly representative char acter. Among the notables point ed out to me by a friend, Col. $. w. Scribner, were the present mayor, Mir. Colvin, Col. Ricaby, Gen. Cameron, Gen. Julius White, Phil. Hoyne, esq, Capt. James Stewart, Col. J. c. Rankin, Gen. sherman, Col. Sullivan, of the Journal, Col. Finnerty, of the Tribune, Capt. Laughlin, Gen. stiles,sGen. McArthur and Gen. Reynolds. After the several com mittees had made thelr reports, Gen. Stiles submitted a resolution inviting all soldiers and sailors from the north, south, east and west, including the
 LATE REBELS
 to participate in the festivities. This seemed to be quite out of the programme, and, at first, had the effect to silence tine whole audi ence. But this was of short du- ration, and just as soon as the as sembly realized the purport of the resolution, an undisguised mur- mur of applause rose from every quarter of the hall. The scene was truly animating. This hang ing out of the flag of peace by the gallant Stiles, was like the proud victor lowering his sword and bidding his prostrate foe to rise and join him at the festive board. In that throng of bullet-scarred veterans there was
 ONLY ONE
 who raised His voice against this commingling as brothers of the heroes of the blue and the gray, and that one was Gen. McArthur. He was opposed to holding out the hand of fellowship to rebels. But, as this objection was not of fered in q vindictive manner, nor forced by argument, it is just to believe that he spake before he considered well the subject.
 Maj. Colvin was very warm in his support of Gen. Stiles resolu ton. He considered himself an unimpeachable union man, and was willing to extend tue right hand of fellowship to all men ac- knowledging allegiance to the American flag, as he was sure ex- rebels did. He was certain that at that gathering he would not meet one disloyal man. Col. Ric- aby and Capt. Laughlin supported Gen. Stiles resolution, because they took it for granted that the men who fought on the confcder- ate side were now loyal, and ought to be received as friends and brothers. Gen. White want ed all men to be loyal, therefore was in favor of uniting rebels who now acknowledged the supremacy of the American flag, So now, after long years of suffering on one side, the comparative enjoyment on the other side the conquerer and conquered are to embrace as friends, and to weep over the unfortunate past.
 This, to your correspondent, ar cucs well for the future. It is truly remarkably important event, and it is hoped that the magnanimous precedent will rev olutionize the whole country, and forever bury the hatchet of sec tional discord, Hurrah for gal lant Illinois. YARN,

To IIEuT. GENERAL GRANT =
 Some of the members of the Tenn essee General Assembly conduct themselves in very refractory man ner, absenting themselves to pre- vent quorum. This is an obstruc- ton to business.

COOKING OArMEAL.-A correspondent
says: One reason why oatmeal is not
more generally used as food is that. IN the
way in which it is usually cooked. it re-
quires constant stirring. which takes a
good deal of time and attention. Ii. after
the porridge is mixed that is, as soon as
the oatmeal is stirred into the boiling wa
ter. the cover is put on and the tin sauce
pan containing it placed in an other pot of
boiling water on the stove, and the water
let boil. good oatmeal porridge will be
made. without the least danger Of its being
scorched.
SHORT RoLLs.-Dissolve two table
spooniuis of butter or one of lard in half
pint OF lukewarm milk, stir into it a cupfuI
OF yeast. and work up with il about a quart
OF siited flour. making a tolerably stiff
dough. Let il rise as usual. When quite
light, strew over it a spoonful of salt, work
in well. pull off small pieces, all of equal
size. and work and shape each one into
round cakes. Lay them in a buttered
baking pan. close together. let them rise a
little in a warm place, then bake in brisk
oven. These rolls may be baked on
patty-pan. The same kind of dough
makes nice bread, baked in shallow
round or square pan. Send it to the table
warm.

THE HENRY T. MILLER PIANO FoRrEs -
The Instruments Il ON this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
and favor. ari already occupy foremost
position among flr>t-class pianos.
Dir. Millei is himself Il practical mechan-
&c. and thorough musician, and the su-
pertorfty which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing in a large measure 10 the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore it is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award of the contract to fur-
uish the public schools of Boston with
pianos mast be very gratifying To Mr..
Miller. and is Il testimony Of the musical
pubic to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The serere test that
they have received at the New England
OF Music. aud at many 9TH
