At remarked in a form er letter, the people oi Arkansas have been required to subscribe to the flisgustitig and humiliating oath ]iicscrihed bv Abe l.ineqjn. Wherever the Yankees find a Southern man ot home, no matter how aged, who lifts shown any sympathy for the South, ami who Ear; per -1 raitted Confederate solder-' lo tarry for a night at his house; they compel him so swal low an oath not to rnvc aid and comfort to the rebellion; and if the person so accused refuse : to take the said oath, he is carri. and to Helena or Little Lock and in jail, putuntil lie becomes willing to submit to the oath. Thou sands of true Southern men in Arkansas have ir, thin compulsory manner been forced to swear to support the United States Govern ment. who at the time, in heart despised the Northern Government, hade the man who ad ministers the obligation, and detest the oath. They had either to go through the form of swearing to -support Lincoln or go to dark dungeons to. sicken and go down to the grave Goo and men have not .hesitated to choo9e (In former, which will account for thv bu t why so many Southern > itizens have anpFated to have given in their allegiaece lo the United States. While many of our Arkansas ts tends are recorded against us —it, is not their own choosing, but one of compunction by the mil itary authorities. Let nle assure the Arkan sas troops in Gen. Johnston's, army, that their friends and relatives at home, are still true to the South—her cause is dear to them—their hearts are with her—their hopes are for suc cess—their prayers ascend for her, they ten derly remember and dearly love her absent and distant soldiery. Tliebath signifies, com paratively speaking, nothing with them.— They are conquered phy qically.lnt not subdued in spirit. They are chained patriots longing tor the day of deliverance from the tyrant’s edicts, and to be freed from the tramping hordes of a merciless and dishonest foe. The dear, noble and sacrificing ladies, have have not escaped the ordeal of wav. Almost every lady in that portion of the State through which l traversed, had been universally com pelled to subscribe to a similar oath to that administered to the men ; hut these nucousti tional pledges appear to have made them more determined to labor for the Mouth and her down trodden citizens. Ladies who have been raised in affluence and refinement, no longer confirm their attention to domestic affairs and the phi lor exclusively, but the war has made heroines of them. They have become business women The ladies have taken the position of business men, and ‘ ansaet limit- business while the men rein: at home They transact most all the busine:.-. of the country, and it was a com mon sight to behold a beautiful woman, mo tin | led on a.mule, (the Yankees have stolen their j horses) riding behind a wagon, oi sitting in | an ox wagon on a bale of cotton, en route for market They accompany their cotton to 1 ownftttttotdiitßxr greeffbacks, pocket the moii ey, and Glen walk a-ovysa the street to au'Alher block and present the invoice of the articles that they wish to ptn .| base b onr the nierehants, which iSfipprbYtri by jlie j reside:, t of the board of trade, and tfec-a t iio| wend their way through seuiinela to the iriercijanta to purchase the ar ticles that the board deigned in tot ihcmbuy. While 1 was in Arkansas, an instance of the fidelity of the ladies occurred, which 1 will allude to, though it is by no means an isolated one. Two ladies visited Helena io obtain supplies lor home consumption, but never forgetting the men, they attempted to .smuggle out two pairs of pavalry boots for them. One lady' attempted to conceal her boots under her hoops, while the other con eluded she would draw her s on her foot, over her own shoes. They departed from town in good spirits, thus Equipped , but when thc*y r reached the Van keel pickets, the pickets insti tuted a close seafcl* for smuggled gods, a they had before foimd them concealed instm many ways. One picket began striking the skirts of one lady, and beard the boots rattle, which revealed their hiding place He made her give up her boots.. The other lady’s boots poked their toes from bepeath her told their whereabout- The pickets demand ed of her that she should pull off he, cavalry boots, but she boldly and positively refused io obey. The Yankee insisted, ami 1 hen ■threa tened to take them by force ; hm she final-, maintained her ground, ami asserted that i h‘«-v were her boots, and that she intended to ,f, iV them. So the Yankee had to oive up the ,■•»>!!* test, and say “go it boots,” i-t she w.t too brave to be intimidated by hi. ibieats. The fortunate sojTdiei bo'shall, or did, fall heir to those boob shored btedme inspired with the daring and dtr=h of a Murat on the battle- remembering, as ha charges upon the enemy., the beautiful woman v, bn present ed k th cm to him, and the \v, il ruined legs that first graced them If he and hi? com rades will cling- as firmly to om can-.. be did to tho~e hoots; not many bottle vv : i Ihe lost to liberty’s side. I have nhvov been an ardent admirer of the ladies, Em then- patri ot Dm and fidelity to the .South, in her gloom iest hours, have, if possible, increased ray ad miration. A tew fickle girls in Arkati-as have been won by the blue-coats, but th:- great majority have stood as true to their na tive laud as the magnet to the pole ; and. lel low-soldiers front that .Stale, 1 will add that tLev'll hot marry until your independence ball be obtained and yon return home, when they will greet you with smiling faces, and shower your path with Rowers.

Asa question of prob abilities, it uuy be looked upon as morally certain that if the North were in posses sion of the Southern States and their ne groes to morrow, they would only change the system of industry in name, and keep up slay cry under a Hinisy disguise. If the prospect is not bright before the South it is much more gloomy for the North. London Post. PlainlalK. Ey Senator Walls of New Jersey, made a speech at Keyport, New Jersey, on the 2‘.M Febnni v last, from which*,we take the following: He.verse all these absurd and pernicious measures which for three years have char aoterized Nortliern legislation, for if the confidence and affection we have lost is ever to be regained, it can only be by giv ing the South the most undeniable proofs that we are willing to remove every ground of complaint, and to afford the amplest se*- curity for the enjoyment of all their con stitutional privileges in the future. I waive all questions of authority and right. With nearly a million of men slain, or ren dered useless, with a frightful debt of thousands of millions, increasing at the ► rate of two millions a day, and national ruin and bankruptcy, the inevitable conse quences of this dreadful war, peace, speedy peace, should be our object, and to ac complish this, a repeal of these obnoxious legislative acts is demanded, which are an insurmountable bar to reconciliation, I and have lost us the confidence and good ' will of those who might have been really i kindly disposed towards us in the South. What greater folly can there be than to ; expect to force a people into a friendly ; union with you, to entrust their rights j more ipto your hands, and submit their j property and lives to your (government by I desolating their country and spreading j famine and death over the land? And j what are the laurels acquired in this de- structive warfare!'
