The Argus says "The mcfarland
Comedy Company gave a benefit to our
Brass Band, last Tuesday night. Our
citizens did not turn out very well, be-
cause, we suppose, they are indifferent
as to whether we have band or not-as
they are to all other public enterprises"
1t was kind and very liberal on the
part OF the mcfarland Company to give
an entertainment for the benefit of the
Band, and we learn that they had very
good house. When the Argus, howev-
er charges our citizens with being "lpdif-
ferent to all public interests" it utters
an uncalled-for SANDER. The proprio-
tors of the Argus arc members of the
Band, and they knew at the time that a
large number of the citizens of Van
Buren, were paying from dime to fifty
cents a month, since last August, to-
wards defraying the incidental expenses
of the Cornet Band. There isno town
in the State that is more liberal or ready
to contribute to the necessities of the
needy, or to aid any public enterprise
for the benefit of the town than Van
Buren,. 1t is true they are sometimes a
little slow, but very rarely is there a
call, when they are rightly approached,
that they do not cheerfully and literally
respond. We have lived with this peo-
pie a good long time, and have ever
found them generous and charitable, and
we do not propose to quietly sit down
and allow them to be slandered by eve
ry jackanape" that turns up, whether
at home or abroad, without contradic
ton.

TIE COMING STORM.
England and Russia Undoubtedly
Preparing for War.

London, March ~. 5 A. M.--Little can
be stated with certainty IN regard to the
situation in Europe, except that hopes of
the meeting Of the congress are now at
tho minimum, and war like ru,nors in-
crease in number and strength every
day. 1t is believed in St. Petersburg
that England is unable to make good her
promises to both Greece and Turkey,
and that she is therefore anxious to avoid
entereng the congress. where her double
dealing would be exposed For this
reason 1t is considered probable that
England intends going to war eventually
anyhow, and the Russians are becoming
very indignant at her childish objections
to entering the congress. Beside. they
are now tolerably certain that England
can get no allies. and therefore il much
less to be feared than she was month
ago when Austria was showing signs OF
joining England. Gen. lgnauH will ar
rive in Vienna to-day and there is little
| reason to doubt that he is empowered
to make such concessions to Austria as
to avert conflict with that country
A Vienna correspondent telegraphs that
a preliminary agreement between Russia
and Austria has already been reached,
and that Gen. IgnatiT will merely stop
on his way to Constantinople to confirm
the agreement His visit to CONSTANT.
neple is also regarded as significant and
it is feared here that an endeavor will be
made at once to induce Turkey to make
closer alliance with Russia. There ia
the best authority for saying that should
the congress fail to meet England will
maintain her present attitude Of armed
watchfulnesss, continuing proportions
for the war which must eventually break
out She can easily carry out such pol
ICY for an indefinite period, while Russia
would be under far greater expenses be-
sides oGlige to evacuate her positions in
Turkey at the end of three months accor-
ding to the treaty ofSan Stefano 1t is
idle to imagine, however. that Russia
would remain under such constraint,
since she would not only be threatened
W til bankruptcy, but also with loss Of all
the advantages gained in the recent war,
The estinformed diplomats beive that
the congress must meet before May or
war will break out soon after that month
if not before. Both nations, however,
have been blutling heavily heretofore and
it is possible they may lind it possible
to retro gracefully without coming to
blows

Gov. Miller on The Dorsey Amendment.
Hot Spring Daily Telegraph.


A gentleman Of this city has come in
possession of the following correspond
ence of Governor Miller in respect to the
Dorsey Amendment to the Hot Springs
amendment which he obtained under the
Injunction that the same should not be
published, lest it nigt be construed into
species of demogogery to obtain little
cheap notoiietp in regard to matter
deeply affecting the rights interests of
the people of Hot Springs But the
gentleman very justly thought that no
sensible man would take such an absurd
view of the matter; and inasmuch as it
might strengthen the cause of this people
in defending their rights and interests
against what they believe to be great
wrong, to know that Governor Miller
was actively engaged in their behalf and
was lending the weight Of his official in
fluence to defeat the Dorsey scheme, we
have secured his consentto publish, said
correspondence in the Telegraph which
we are satstie will be read with pleasure
and satisfaction by all our readers.
