The Daily Dispatch: October 25, 1861., [Electronic resource], Lead in Arkansas. (search)
Lead in Arkansas. --The Fort Smith Times, of the 12th, has the following important announcement: A quartermaster's train arrived at Van Buren on the 10th, with 32,800 pounds of pig lead, from the Granby mines. We are informed by Major Clarke that all the lead needed by the Confederacy can be procured at these mines, Col. McIntosh has seized the mines, and is now working them, and Major Clarke's return trains bring it down at the rate of 75,000 pounds per month. From Van Buren this lead will be shipped to Capt. R. W. Hunt, ordnance officer, Memphis. If the river should remain unnavigable to this point, the lead will be hauled to Dardanelle in the trains that go to that point for army stores, and thence down the river in small boats. By this arrangement the Confederacy will be furnished with all the lead that will be required in their armies.

They seem unsparing in their acts of villainy. The colored firemen, of Montgomery, Ala., recently gave a ball for the benefit of the volunteers from that city, the proceeds of which amounted to one hundred and fifty dollars. A man named Smith was brought before the Mayor of New Orleans on Thursday last, charged with being an Abolitionist. The charge was proven, and Mr. Smith was sent to the workhouse for six months.

act, and in conformity with his orders our military movements are strictly regulated.--So that, whether it was good policy to enter Maryland or not, it is the President, and not the Generals, upon whom the responsibility of action or non-action rests. We don't believe that any service in the world has more accomplished military men than are at the head of the Southern armies. Gen. A. Johnston, of Kentucky, Gen. Johnston, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Smith, Gen. Lee, Gen. Magruder, --we know not where to stop,--form a host of military worthies that would adorn any service in any age. We conceive that they have every motive to accomplish everything within their power which can operate upon the most unsparing of their critics, and probably understand their business as well. And this is equally true of the President. Undoubtedly, if any one individual in this Government has more interest than any other in the success of our arms, it is the Ch

he war of 1812 (says the Suffolk Su) large numbers of the soldiers stationed at Norfolk died, and ever since sickness and death have been associated with Norfolk in the minds of many persons in the up-country. But we think facts will show that there have been many more deaths among the soldiers about Manassas and on the Potomac and the Northwest than about Norfolk. Many of the regiments about Norfolk have only lost two or three. In the regiments stationed at Suffolk and in the vicinity of Smith field, but few comparatively have died. Thus figures show that the idea of this being an unhealthy section of country is not well founded. No better time or opportunity than the present for showing that the impression entertained in many parts of the country about the sickness of this part of Eastern Virginia, is entirely erroneous. It is true there has been malignant tropical fever here in past years; but the same cause that produced it here would render it equally as prevalent and f

Visit of Gen. M'Clellan to Vienna, Va. Washington, Oct, 18. --The most important item from the other side of the Potomac is that Gen.

push on energetically and force the rebels to fight or retreat. It is reported that Gen. Price has made a stand in Cedar county, 25 miles from Osceola, with a force of 20,000 men. Gen. Price going to show fight. Camp McKinsty, Near Syracuse, Oct. 17. --Gen. Fremont has sent a dispatch here stating that he has reason to believe that General Sterling Price has retraced, or will retrace, his steps to the Osage river, and there make a stand, and give our forces battle. Adjutant General Smith informs me that he has raised over 10,000 men for the Missouri State militia, and thinks he will be enabled in due season to obtain the remainder of the 42,000.

Desertions from the Federal army are becoming quite frequent, and it has been asserted by one of our Yankee contemporaries that more desert from their ranks than voluntarily join them.

he enemy does not land on the coast, and makes the attempt to take New Orleans, I will go if I can get there if I have to go by myself. I do think it high time for us to begin to look out and prepare for the coming conflict. Respectfully yours, &c., John Huddleston. Weather and river at little Rock. The Little Rock (Ark.) State Gazette,of the 12th inst., says: The river is still falling slowly with twenty-two inches water below, and fourteen inches scant above.
