Gen PniCE — YVp are glad to learn, says
the Maeon Confiderafe , that Gen. Price has
at last, been placed in command of the Oou
fetferale Army in Arkansas. The affairs iu 1
that State have been sadly managed since
Gen, Holmes took command ,Ye have lost,
and lost, and lost, until the whole State and a
large number of people have gone over to
tbe Yankees. The land was lost by bad Gen
eralship and the people by disgust at the con
duct of the whiskey-loving Gen. Holme?. We 1
may well expect shat affairs there will now
take n new turn, and that the State will be
cleared of the invaders. When the people
lost confidence in the leader, and the govern- I
men! stubbornly persists in keeping him in 1
that position, as the case in the incompetent
Holmes, it does not take the public enemy
long to win them over.
The death ol Owen Love joy. of Illinois, lias
been announced. He was a man very seri
ously affected by a. disease known as "nigger
on the brain, -and throughout his whole life
the disease controlled his entire system. He
was a man oflow order of intellect, but stiii
he represented a district of Illinois in Congress
tor twelve years. In 1858 he was the cause
of a serious row in the House, brought about
by bis abuse ot Font hern ladies.
YY P.ONG Dealing. —Shortly after the passage
of the currency ac t, says the Atlanta Appeal,
the prices of goods, provisions, etc., suddenly
went up from thirty to fifty per cent., and on
many articles much higher. The explanation
advanced by the dealers was that they wished
to provide against the one-third depreciation
of the currency. As there was a partial show
ot reason in this, the public acquiesced, and
“stood the raise,' expecting that when The
depreciation was taken off the prices would
recede—there being nothing to justify the
advance, except the currency derangement.
We are told, however, that the practice is
different from what was promised and expec
ted. The dealers 1 discount your Confederate
<! X" to §>6.66f, but keeps up his prices. Ts
there not danger they will carry their ideas of
the disposition of the people to be plucked
too far 9 Forbearance may cease to be a vir
tue.

Gentlemen: Accept for yourselves, hud for
the other officers and soldiers from Louisiana,
who met. with you' at Mobile, on the 19th hist.,
my heartfelt thanks for the lofty and touching
sentiments expressed in the resolutions you
were pleased to pass, on the occasion of the
sad event which has torn from me a moat
dear and beloved wife, and from the iState to
which she belonged one of its brightest jew
els and ornaments. Mrs. Beauregard died a
martyr to our cause. Her continued umi dong
separation from the chosen one of her heart,
under the trying circumstances she had to
pass through, was more than her care-worn
and enfeebled constitution could endure. Yet
she departed not from life without giving ut
terance, to her uuduninistied devotion to that
noble cause, and to her unshaken faith in its
ultimate triumph. She was It true and iin
vent patriot. The foul breath of 1 v.ui the
most vile among the vilest of our enemies
never could taint the pure atmosphere that
surrounded her.
Llow bright, how glorious I would deem the j
day on which if were given to me, at the head j
of my brave and so hard tried compatriot.!, to
rescue with her hallowed grave, the noble !
State that bestowed such honors upon her 1
remains, from the footstep? of the ice who 1
pollutes them by his presence.
With Ineere esteem and incere acknow- ;

Who SrASD.-: os nno Georgja Platform? 7 *
—Some days agfj we published a statement
from the- Charlotjtesvillc- (Va.) Chronicle in
wltich the namesj-of several Presses and poli
ticians were enumerated as supporters of a
re-Q.ymiziny movement, said to have origina
ted somewhere in Georgia, havuig-. for its ob
ject “American unity,' "I lie independence of
the separate States, and :evei ul otli.-r equally
inconsistent phrases representinoj this ill-de
fined party scheme. We made ha-te to with
draw our name from the so-called “Georgia
Platform," as the Mobile Advertiser & Regis
ter had previourdv done, and stated that per
haps others whose names had been wan
tonly used, were not responsible for it. Sure
enough, they have continued to drop off until
we begin to doubt who stands-on the “Georgia

\\ o have received a note from the Hon.
hi M. liruee—one of the Kentucky delega
tion ot ‘the Confederate Congress—con
veying an offer of a most patriotic and
munificent description.
Mr Bruce proposes to pay the tuition
and personal expanses of every soldier of
•his own .States who lias lost a leg or an
arm, or been otherwise disabled from field
service during the war. He feels that “he
; can effect no greater good to his fellow
1 citizens,” as he observes, “than bycon>*
tributing to putting him in a condition
to earn his lively hood when he is loft to
his crippled resources;” and he earnestly
advises any and everyone suited to the
terms proposed to select some tail lege,
academy or school and enter it wnuiediate
ly All bills properly certified will be
promptly paid on being forwarded to
llichmond. Teachers and Kentuckians
generally arc requested to circulate this
offer, and to discover those who may take
advantage of it. •
Too much praise cannot be lavished
upon the spirit which has prompted this
large hearted tribute to the valor of the
brave but unfortunate soldier; and in pre
senting it to his brother Kentuckians, Mr
Bruce adds another laurel to the crown
they have woven in testimony of his zeal,
industry and liberality. Very lew men
have devoted as much time and labor to
the cause of his State and people, and no
one a larger share of that substantial ele
ment which, whether in coin or Confed
erate notes, is found alike useful on emer
gency. We commend the example as
one of of the revolution, and
sincerely trust it may be speedily and gen
eraily accepted.
An interesting affair is said to have 00
curred in the Spottswood Hotel, about
two o’clock on Friday morning. Miss
Bello Boyd is stopping there; and an in
fatuated, and somewhat intoxicated, Con
federate officer endeavored to give her a
call at the above mentioned hour—forced
the door open, it is said—when she fired
upon him three times, but without other
effect than to scare him off It is to be
regretted the shots of the bilk, igerent
Belle were thus lost.
They are having an' excellent time in the
North. What, with the jokes of Honest
Old Abe and the shrewd tricks of his
Secretary of the Treasury, the plots of
Fremont and the aspirations of McClellan
the hopes of Vallandighaui and the
schemes of Seward, the dearth oi gold and
the plethora of greenbacks, the campaign
opens With a chorus of tamborine, banjo
and hurdy-gurdy, miserably discordant
and out of tune and harsh, so that you
cannot tell whether they be playing “Yan

Forrest.
1 Gen. Forrest is just now becoming tiin cyn
| osurc of nil ryes. He bay taken tbe .ffeii-ive
-1 defensive in real earnest, and his late jucccs--
es at Union City m VV'est Tennessee and Padu
cah, Ky., show what may be done by energy,
resolution, determination find valor It was
only a tew days ugo we heard of him in .Mi -
sissippi, with his little band of cavalry, de
feating the complicated plan? us Grant and
Sherman for the reduction ot Mobile and the
subjugation of .Mississippi and Alabama tl a
opening up the spring campaign .most.-
ously lor the Southern ruu.n ' Thi glor.ous
achievement of itself, would have enabled
many a chieftain of a certain amt, to have
rested many weeks upon iii well earned lau
rels, but not so with lieu. Forrest.
A day or two of rest and respite tu his ex
hausted men and horses, we again ht-or i.'.m
he is once more on the move tor W est l . .>-
nessee and before it was supposed he lmd
more than time to reach Jackson, where ,l
was thought he was going for the purpose of
gathering up conscripts aud deserters, we are
uilortned that he has taken surue eight hun
dred Yankee soldiers in out of the wet at
Union City.
There was another opportunity for a holi
day hero to have rested upon his htuiel?
chewed the cud ot his sweetest fancies ana
listened to the praises aud piauaps of bu
fair countrywomen.
But such is nut Gen. Forrest’s style. He
went into tho war in earnest, recognizing the
idea that fighting is his business, mm o mil)-
impressed with the truth ot the maxim taut
labor and energy overcome all obstacles -as
well as that “fortune favors the brave.” Hence
it is that we scarce had tunc to herald in
triumph at Union City, beturc the mteliigem -
is flashed upon us that lie has captured Pa
ducah and laid it in ashes.
Whcu the tacts are ail ascertained, wo doubt, u i
this will prove a heavy blew to tuecuomy, us H
generally understood they bad ac-euitfunuuu a large
amount of Government »lures ai turn. p.aue.—
Where General Forrest wiu next ho beam Hum, it
is of course impossible to say, but no can safely
promise that he will always be found where the
enemy cuu be struck a serious blow.
These operations will have the effect of convin
cing our foe that the rebellion, as they call it, i :
far Irons being on its lart legs. They will. erve to *
teach the Yankees that three j r ear a of, war, of out
rage and oppression, have only served to put our
boys in good lighting trim; that they-have added *
to their courage the incentive of revenge and to
their valor a total disregard <sf danger, and that if
the brutalities of the enpmy shall continue to be
practiced upon our people, otiier Northern cities
may take warniug lrom the late of Paducah.
Gen. Forrest has indeed upoued up trio spring
•campaign most gloriously lor our cause, and Gram
will liml him a troublesome customer hovering on
his hanks and in ms ivar. He ia no holi.iay chief,
but is ever active, vigilant, and on the h .orout for
something to clo. It 13 a singular fact mat .vhero
lie has had command of his own conduct, General
Forrest has never made a single failure in the mat.;,
enterprises he has undertaken during tin • ar, and
we nave heard it said that he is the oslv yam A
officer in oar army who has kiiieu his man 111 fat
tie. In all cases of desperate or uncertain conflict
he is found in the front ranks of men, and has
caused many a Yankee to bite the dust by ins own
right arm. May he long be spared to im country
and her cause.— jVt/ujdns Aj?*tov /.

These are evidenced by flu; declining whole
