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. sue tees- ©en. Sieaii regard. Charleston, March 28, 18G4. 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- ; ledgrnpiits, I remain, yours most truly, * ti. T. BP-uh:kua.ro. j Major ITy. St. Paul, fnpr. ,f. T. Pnrvcs. |_ do bile Tribune. !

Sure enough, they have continued to drop off until we begin to doubt who stands-on the “Georgia Platform, if indeed Georgia has any platform at all. except unconquerable resistance to the Yankees.

To Keutncliiaiis. \\ 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.

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.

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.
