made to establish a line of steamers be-
tween Vera Cruz and Galveston, MAX

Advices from Seuces county, Texas,
report Adjutant- General Steele on a tour
Of observation through the western

A Brownsville special says General
FuerO, recently Of Monterey, is on his

have command. His forces include two
regiments of cavalry, with orders to
check raiding upon Texas. General
Cortina positively refuses to obey the
order requiring him to report in person

resigned. and is now a citizen. His
friends are circulating a petition to the
government to let Cortins remain in au-
thority on the Rio Grande. The appear

formed shuTch-RepOrt Of Con-
ference Committees, KIc.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Tbe general
synod Of the Reformed church reassem-
bled this morning in Jersey City. An
overture suggesting the consolidation OF
the boards of the churches and 8 de-
crease in the expenditures for benevo-
lent objects Of the church was adopted.
1t recommends that committee be ap-
pointed to make full investigation and
report at the next general synod. The
committee on conference with churches
Of other denominations, made very in.
teresting report, which was adopted.
The conference committees of the Ger
man and Reformed church in America,
met in Philadelphia and spert two days
in discussing the question of consolida-
ton. While no definite plan was ar
rived st, the question was very far ad-
vanced. The committee also report that
it met with similar committee of the
general assembly Of the Presbyterian
church, south, in New York, last jan
nary, and agreed upon certain plans of
corporation. The committee also con-
ferred with a committee from the Pres
byterisn church, north, with the same
view to cooperation as with the Presby-
teTisn church, south. The continuance
of the committee was almost unani-
mously resolved upon for another year.
The synod then adjourned.

FORREST CITY.
The CrOps-Very Encouraging Report
Work 10 be had on the Farms
kmIGy, Peace and Concord

From an Occasional Cores spondent.l
FORREST CITY, ARK, June 4.-The
cotton is now growing finely. Two
weeks ago We had too much rain, and
General Grass came very near taking
possession, but the last five or six days
the men, women and children have
been out fighting him, and as the
weather is quite warm he has about
gone up. Another week of SIS fipe
weather as this and he is burst There
was an increase OF about fifty per cent.
Of c3rn planted this year, apd it IL the
finest you ever saw. Don't think there
will be any cry for hOminy next year.
About two thousand acres were soWn in
wheat lsst fall, from which there will be
large yield; some OF the farmers think
they will get from forty TO fifty bushels
to the acre. / hear no COM
plaint of rust or smut. Large guam
titles Of oats were also sOwn, anu in 8
week OF two will be ready to feed on,
which will stop our importation of corn.
The farmers are living very economical
ly, staying at home and working hard.
The whites and negroes both work better
this year than at any time since the late
" so-callei.n More new ground has
been opened, and more fences built and
repaired, than for the last five years.
Altogether everything looks lovely.
This fall our farmers can pay the COun-
try merchants, the country merchants
can pay what they owe, and next year
larger cash business will be done from
this section Of Arkansas than ever be-
fore. This is one OF the finest countries
l ever saw. Good land can be purchased
from two dollars and a half 10 twenty
hve dollars per acre, on which a bale OF
cotton or from fifty TO sixty bushels Of
corn can be gathered. / noticed an arti-
Gle IN your paper few days ago asking
for the price OF land. II YOU know Of
any emigrants who are willing TO work.
and want to 60 toa good country, tell them
to come over here. We will Piva them
a warm welcome and sell them lands
cheap. II a good many OF your young
men, who are now begging merchants
to give them a situation for their food
will only go 10 the country and take
hold OF plow, in few years they will
be In good circumstances; as il is now
they clerk during the winter and in

next fall are without a cent and have
to beg for another situation. No cOun- !

men work. "NOung man, save uD |

OUR correspondent "Shiloh" pays bis
respects again to General Sherman and
in terms that are even more severe than
those OF his first letter. He does not
wish to belittle the services Of the great
marcher TO the sea, but he comes as near
reducing Sherman TO the ordinary rank
OF generals as his bitterest enemy could
wish. He stamps his conduct at Kene-
saw mountain as a crime and again re-
fers to the surprise at Shiloh. The
Johnston treaty also comes in for heavy
blows, and altogether We think Sher-
man severely handled by his old COM
rade. "Sbiloh" is keen, shrewd 90
server, has profited largely by unusual
opportunities in life, and wields grace
ful pen with the ease Of one well prac-
tised in the art.

OUR business men have reason to re-

try-in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi
as well as West Tennessee-the news is
repeated to US by letter every day that
this is to be the year ofyears for our
farmers, and, as a consequence, for our
merchants. The wheat crop, Of which
so much has already been SAID in
the APPEAL, the first fruits Of what We
hope is a new and better system OF
farming than our section has hitherto
known, will be especially remunerative

GENERAL SHERMAN has deservedly,
a. we think, been taken to task for what
his old comrades, as well Is his old
enemies, regard Misrepresentation,
mslignity and trsduction. We, our
selves, had occasion 20 stamp as It de-
served, when the frst notice Of his
book appeared in the New York
Herald his association OF the name
OF President Jefferson Davis with the
assassination OF President Lincoln, say
ing that not even the devil himself
could charge the great soldier and
statesman with so foul q crime. Mr..
Davis was then in Texas. Since his re-
turn his attention having been called 10

ia ST. Louis, he has answered IL IN

himself worthy the position OF President
OF the Confederate States, organized
their armies, and by an energy as Won
d srful a. his exalted craftsmanship,
prolonged the war many months be-
y1nd the period justified by the mate
rial he had IN hand. He fought the last
man, until the substance OF the coun-
try WAS exhausted and his treasury
was empty. This il his crime. History
will reverse the unjust verdict; indeed
we are not without hope that in few
years at the farthest the northern people
Themselves will accept his labor in the
spirit OF esrnestneSs and honesty, in
which it was worked out, and realize in
him q statesman who has written his
name far above most of his cotempO-
raries, and worthy the respect Of all in
any land who recognize exalted merit.

A Fine Point AT Law Discussed in 1he
Illicit DIsIilIeFY Gases.

CHICAGO, June In the United
States district court in this city, before
Judge Blodgett, the question of the
right of the government to seize
the books and papers OF those per-
sons whose distilleries have been seized
on the charge of defrauding the revenue,
was argued to-day. Defendants were
represented by hon. Matt. Carpenter,
Sidney Smith, Leonard SWEET and Ed
mund Jussen, and the prosecution by
District-Attorney Writ Dexter and
others. The government claims that
these books and papers are a part of the
personal property of the distilIeries, and
are, therefore, liable to seizure and for
feiture. The defense claimed, on the
other hand, that the books and papers
are private property and exempt under
the law, they not being compelled to
furnish evidence for their own convic-
ton. Mr.. Carpenter closed for the de-
fense this afternoon, when the Judge
took the matter under sdvisement.
