The way the natives talk in Arkansas is
amusing. The following dialogue ooeorred
on the Devil's Fork of the Little lied river.
Old Sense met Dan Looey; they were stran
gers to each olher. Says Old Sens® ;
Good morning sir; you are well.
If you call a man well that ha» run twen
ty miles, I am that.
Bid you see anv bear?
If you call a big black thing about the
size of Fete Whetstone’s black raair, or
boas a bar, I did.
Bad you a gun ?
Now you*hit me.
Lid you draw blood ?
Lu you call mv double dandsful of brains
blood ?
Had you a dog?
Ia old Bos* a dog ?
Did you skin him ?
Well, if you call a man iu his shirt
sleeves, with a knife seventeen inches in the
blade, among the rib* and meet, Winning,
I was that.
Was he fat ?
Do you call cutting eighteen iaches on
the ribs fat ? *
Lid you pack him ?
If you call four pony loads packing, why,
I packed some ?
Light loads, I reckon ?
If four hundred pounds to a pony is a
light load, they were light.
Lid you eat any of it!
Lo you call drinking a quart of bar's ile,
eating ?
You must have meat.
If you call two thousand seven hundred
pounds of clean without hone, safe in
side of the smoke house, meat, we have got
some.
They must bo fat at jour house ?
l)o you call a caudlo fat ?
Here Old Sence brought a perfect squeal,
and swore he had found the very man he
had beeu looking for.
Escape of General from
the Ohio Penitentiary—Hf* Tele
grapli* hi* Arrival in Canada.
Major-General John Morgan, with Cap*
tains J. C. Bennett, S. B- Taylor, Ralph
Shelton, T. P. Hines, L. Q- Kokers*ifh,
and S. T. Magee, made his escape from ti«
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, on Friday
night, aud has reached Toronto, Catftha,
with kis companions. With his nsaal
humor, ho telegraphed from Toreato to Col
umbus that they needn’t put themselves to
anv further trouble on his account. A tele
gram from Cincinnati gives the following
deseripriori of the manner of his escape :
Col. Dick Morgan (a brother ot Gee. J to.
Morgan) and six Captains were conflned in
the lower raDge of cell*, and with ktives
dug through the floor of the cell, which was
composed of cement and nine inches of brick.
Underneath the cell was an air eb&mher.
running the whole length of tue DH'.kding.-— ~
This was known to them. When once in
the chamber they dag through tbe earth to
the outside wall. Gen. Morgan occupied
the cell over Col. Morgan. On Friday
niirht, as the prisoners were looked up for
the nighr, Gen Morgan was allowed to ex
change ceils with Dick, who, everything be
ing prepared, permitted his brother to take
his place.
Some time during the night the pnganers
crawled through the bole they ha! dug un
der the wail, aud which they had earefulD
eoucea’ed. Yaking ropc» with them, th'
escaped trom prison immediately i»etwei»
the rna u building and the fetualo d-»
part meat. When once iu the yard, escapt
was comparatively easy. They went, to the
southwest corner of the outer wali, near tin
big gate, threw their rope over the top.
where it secured itself on one of the spikes,
aud by the aid of a timber near at Lane
they elatnhen and to the top and easily descen
ded outside. 1 here are no guards on the
outer wa.is alter certain hours. The pris
oners were dressed in citizens’ ulothes, not
piison uoiforis.
Captain Hmes, who is a mason and brick
layer, had charge of the work which resulted
in the escape'ot riie prisoner*. A note was
left for the lyardeu, of which the following
is a eopy : f %

Dalton, Ga., Pvn;. 14, 1863.
\\ r e have had two rainy days,’ with a fair
prospect for aeontiuuauce, luakiug the roads
lerrible for military operations. Since the
JLongstrcot excitement has passed awav,
there is uothing to occupy our attention,
and ail continues quiet iu frout. The press
dispatches irom this point are becoming very
sensational as well as unreliable. The lute
dispatch that the State Guard pickets had
been driven in by the enemy at Alpine, is
without the slightest foundation, as well as
the rumor that *2,000 of the enemy’s caval
ry had appeared at Lafayette. No such ru
mors have ever reached Ileadcjuurten, but
on the contrary, we know from our scouts
that they are positively uotruo. Such re
ports do a world of harm, alarming the old
women and children of the country, and
keeping them ia a state of continual appre
hensisu.
Parties from Chattanooga have brought
out Nashville papers of the 6th inat., but
they contain nothing of interest, being filled
only with the usual amount of abolition
lies about our orueltie# to their brutal sol
diers. They congratulate themselves upon
having obtained possession of the oattle field
of Uhickamnuga, as they will now be able
to bury their dead which were left exposed
on the field, and which, they falsely assert,
Bragg refused permission for them to bury,
when the tact is that they never asked for
any such privilege.
Col. J. G. Parkhurst, commanding the
Po3t of Chattanooga, has issued an order re
quiring all citizens to take the oath and giv.
a boud for SIO,OOO. Those not conforming
to this order were to be immediately remov
ed beyond their lines, and a great many
have already been sent oht. A number of
our wouuded are siiH in Chattanooga, lying
ia out bouses and old stables, almost entire
ly uneaied for, and would have suffered
greatly bad it not been for the assistance of
Mrs. James Whitesides, and other noble la
die*, who have daily been attending to their
wants —the ladies of Chattanooga having
shGwu undaunted patriotism.
Capt. C. C. Spiller, formerly of our Ten
nessee cavalry, has joined the Yanks, and
is now running one of the little steamers on
the river. Mr. Potts, the Southern Express
agent had gone to Ohio, having taken the
oath; also Gen. Chandler, Lawson Dugger
and son, and a number of others of the Pu
ritan stock, who were long suspected and
informed on, but who were permitted to re
main iu Chattanooga, as spies on our ac
tions, it being considered good “conciliation
p»liey” ! By this very policy, in fact, pur
sued by the Government, we have gradually
lost, the whole of TenueMoc.
It is stated the Yanks are building a per
manent bridge across the Tennessee at Chat
tanooga, but b ive abandoned the bridges at
Bridgeport and over Running Water Creek.
Some persons have entertained the idea
that the two corps of the enemy that
! lately took up its march from Bridgeport
towards Nashville, were going to Stevenson,
and from thence they would cross the Ten
nessee and come down to Lebanon, Ala.,
which is oaly 50 miles E. N. E. from Rome,
atid thus Sank us and turn our rear. But
thl? is «et at all probable at this season,
acd the present condition of the roads,
which, over this route would be next to im
possible, as they would have to cross both
Sand Mountain and Taylor’s Ridge. Be
sides, if such a move was on foot, and were
practicable, the enemy would not send a col
umn of only two corps. Then again, if they
should send their whole army in that direc
tion, eur forces at Rome are amply able to
keep them back until our main army could
come up, aud we could afford to give them
two days the start of us for that purpose.—
But no such appreheu*ions need be enter
tained. The natural solution of the ene
my’s move is, that finding it impossible to
feed their airnv ah Chattanooga, where they
are still living on half rations, they have
1 sent a portion of their army to Stevenson,
| where they will be secure from attack, aud
. can accumulate supplies, making that point
! their main depot, while a strong garrison is
merely kept at Chattanooga. At the same
time it is probable that a large reinforce
ment has been sent to Virginia.
VO!.I MF. \ LI—Nl l 40.
i think ws may confidently rely upon the
that their army is io a i condition to
uiAac an advance in foi* direction tLI# sea*
son, and trosu their destroying all the road/i
leading to ChatUmoog* t« render it
rom attack, is the bon evidence that their
Army luu gone into winter quarters.
Colonel Ives, the President’s Aid, Las
est hue for Kichmond, and I suppose upcn
his report of the oonditioo of sffkirf here,
the Prtsideut will act rn relation to the ap
pointment of a commanding general for th.s
army. 1 think it probable, and should net
be surprised if no change was made is oth
er departments, and General Hardee retain
ed permanently in aoramand. While Gen
eral Hardee could not fail to give entire aatie
lactiou, I do not believe he is at all ambitious
to hold his positiorp He is but a Lieuten
ant General, aud a corps commander, Lang
one of the youngest un thu list; a\ul Jtmp.-
tent corps commanders ure moat important
to the service and it eucceas. Asa oorpa
commander General Hardee has eviueed a
superior ability and judgment on the field
unequalled, having been the means of sav
ing the army ot Tennessee on more thau ouo
occasiou. fie is, consequently, ouly ambi
tious of serviag his country ia that oapacity
in which he can render the Greatest good u»
the cause.
Should Generals Johusou or Beauregard
be put iu command, therefore, no one would
rejoice more thau General Hardee. But
the misfortune at this time, is, that the
President has not been ou very loving term*
with either Beauregard or .Johnston, and
therefore, 1 think, if either are assigned to
this army it will depend upon whose place
Gen. Bragg would prefer to fill, and the.
chances in this respect arc in favor of John
ston.
The N. Y. Herald of tho 19th ult. con
tains several columns of the great ‘‘Labor
Movement” iu that city, being, reports of
meetings of sewing drygoods olerke,
ship carpenters, omnibus drivers, segar ma
kers, bailors, turners, tiu workers, aud in
tact, every branch of trade, who, starving
on the pittauce given by their employers,
have struck for higher wages. A similar
movement is aleo being ma ie in Bopton.
Ibis shows that the North is evidently let
ting down, aud another winter must nducu
them to starvation, and long before
that, their blue-back currency must burst
up, when rh>G will commence, and tho pil
luge and sucking of the hou=e« of the ri.*h
follow of necessity. Our people have only
\ io make up their minds to brave all fur
another year, and stand firmly up to our
country’s cause, as (hey have dono, and
they will see the fall of the Lincoln ab‘di
liuu dynasty. As an evidence of its fall,
the Great Baboon L.-..* luvited Forrest, tho
Tragedian, anu H.c.-.ett, the Cuttiedi-jo, to
play before him and his Cabinet this winter
at the White House, in vindication of Roy
alty. Ilackett will no doubt be kept herr
after as the Baboon’» jester.
A Truth too little thought of.
The Petersburg Register, in the eourse of
an article on the euirency, remarks: “If
Confederate credit is not sustained, no man
in the Confederacy, we caie not bow much
Bank stocks, State atooks, State rr,on«*y,
lands and negroes he may fancy himself to
be worth, i» not worth enough to pay h;*
funeral expenses, no matter how economical
may be the mode of his burial.”
We wish to bring this truth home to the
hearts of our Southern people—to the cau
tious capitalist, who is so diligent in his
search after “safe investments”—to the spec
ulator, who every day of his life degrade®
the Confederate currency only that he maj
get the more of it—►to the planter, who re
fuses to sell even the staff of life for Con
federate money and would see the people
starve—to him who refuses to furnish brave
soldiers of his struggling country with a
horse, a bushel of meal or a hrlndred pounds
of bacon in order that they suay live while
they are expected to fight—to him who de
cries and denounces his government because
it impresses these articles when it can get
them in no other way, and is willing to pay
a fair consideration in return and not the
prices fixed by extortioners who prey upon
