Atkansii has no large olties in her limits, nor is
she likely to have at present, Little Pock, contain
ing' a population of not over fire thoueand, is the
largest corporate city in the State. Helena, Faye

Of all tthe Southern States, none were more remit ,
-attached to the institution of slavery than Arkan
sas. Her people were more ignorant than those of
the other States, and this deep ignorance made
them fanatical and almost superetitious in regard
to their pet concern. When the war, broke out
there was a strong' feeling in favor of remaining in
the:Union, more becaute the people were opposed to
innovations, then from any particular reverence for
the Union: This loyal sentiment went e doweeia the
tercession whirlpooi, though it was by no means en.
pesky blotted out The rebel Government adminis
red attain( very injudiciously in Arkansas, and in
this viSi created a' strong opposition. , The worst
generils in the Confederacy were sent there to coin
mand,'And they ruled with a most bitter tyranny.
Many men who were at the outset enamored of the
,
secession inovezreat, became dieguetca with the
conduct of the rebel leaders, and harly swore them
aelvekout of the lines of the party. The most bit
terly abused man in Arkansas is Major General
Hindman; and from all I can learn the abuse is most
richly deserved.
Three years ago it would have provoked a smile
Of incredulity bad any one gravely stated that there
was an Abolition sentiment in Arkamsas. It is
highly probable that no ouch sentiment then existed,
and nothing less than a great war could have
awakened it. The prejudices of an ignorant people
Were-very difficult to overcome, and nothing but a
ean - vedelon of a most rufous nature can accomplish
it. a :The people of Ailtaneas have been educated in
a thereirgh school. Their training has been good,
thongh the tuition is expensive to the last degree.
Blored, treasure, prospects, and prosperity, have all
been offered up. The State has been purified.
There is now in Arkansas a strong feeling in favor
of the, overthrow of slavery. It is looked upon as
the cause of all the troubles through which the
Statelias passed, and the detestation of it is now as
strong as was the love of it before. Arkansas is a
long way in advance of Missouri, Maryland, or Ken
tucky, It would surmise the Fmaneipetionlsts of
these States if they could visit Arkansas and note
the' feeling that prevails here. The: scales have
fallen from the eyes of the Arkansiano, and they
have determined to mike. a new record. Consider
ing' what they have passed through, this result is
not, after all, so surprising. Had any of the Border .
States suffered equally as much, they would have
been just as thoroughly disgusted with the war, and
, tltet which caused it.
The tyranny of the Confederate leadera was made
unusually severe in Arkansas, and its severity was
aaigmented by the application of the local -laws of
the State. There is a State regulation that pro
vides that, in any emergency calling for military

for the army only by a 'moat - rigid
.conscription:
Many fled to our lines or conceded themselves in
the swamps and mountains until such time as they
could come out with safety. Since our army ob
tained possession of the State these men have been
flocking to our standard, but tare is still a large
number concealed in the mountains in the south
western part of the State. Three regiments of
• Union volunteers have been raised, and 'a fourth is
in process of formation, Yell county alone furnieh
'ed fivehundred men, and it is reported that more
will be on their way here beforetong. Good judges
have estimated that, within four months of this
time, thereywill be eight regiments of Arkansas vo
iiinteers in our service. This is exclusive of the eon
-siderable number that have gone into * regiments
from other States, and, when we consider that Ar
eusneas had been drained Of men for the rebel service,
WC can appreciate the value of this testimonial to
loyalty.
A.strong movement is being made by the leading
men of the State to recover its return to the Union
at as early a date as possible. They accept the
proclamation as in full force, and admit that it frees
their slaves forever. Even were it not so, they
would wish to be rid completely of the institution of
slavery before coming back to the Union. They
propose a convention of the people as soon as an
election of delegates can be held with safety. At
, the time the State seceded the old constitution was
overthrown, and another was adopted with special
reference to an existence in the Confederacy. This
last is in direct violation of the Constitution of the
United States, and would need to lie revoked before
the State could come back. In calling a convention
to form a proper constitution, it is proposed to con
sider the slavery question and settle it forever.
They well understand that the only settlement that
can be made is one which shall do away with it en
tirely. They propose, in applying for readmission,
to make their application as a free State.
Among the repentant rebels who, have come back
to us, is one Colonel E. W. Gantt, of Hempstead
county. Before the war he, was a prominent man
in the State, both aria laWyer and a pelitidan, He
espoused the Secession cause, and labored hard in its
behalf. He, raised a regiment of infantry for the
rebel army, and received a colonel's commission.
He was among those captured at Island No. 10 by
General Pope, and for several months was an in- 1
Mate of Fort Warren. At the time of the general
exchange he was returned to the Confederacy, and
was again captured at Port Hudson. After the cap.
ture of Little Rock he began to look upon the rebel
prospects as rapidly diminishing, and made the very
wise determination to abandon them. He is now in
Bela city, and is taking an active part in the move•
ment for a return to the:Union.
Col. Gantt has written an address to the people of
Arkansas, in which ho makes a careful review of
the present Situation. He acknowledges the error
he made In the outset, and hopes, by his earnest
ness hereafter, to make up in some measure for the
evil he has done. He tells his friends that the rebel
came is hopeless, and advises all who are in any
way concerned with it to quit at once. He says that
he was the owner of a large number of slaves three
years agoeand went into the war in order to protect
them. In taking up the sword he expected to abide
by the results of the war. The results have been
adverse to him. The President issued his proclama
tion, and the advance of the army has applied it to
Arkansas. By it the slaves are free; and he has no
power to bring them back to slavery. •HaVing been
defeated in his attempt to save his slaves by the
sword, lie thinks it would be unmanly in the 'ex
treme for him to ask the Government to give him
assistance to accomplish that object. Alter fighting
against the Government, he does net think it the
part of a soldier to ask it to give him what he' was
lighting for. '
Be advocates a return to the Union as speedily as
possible, and argues that slavery must be dropped
completely before it can be done. The course he
has taken is having a great effect throughout the
State-wherever Colonel Gantt is known. His ad.
dress id very extensively circulated, and has found
its way into the rebel army. The rebel generals are
destroying it, wherever
,they can find it, but mea
sures have been taken for its private distribution.
Tile effect is visible in the increased number of de
serters during the past two weeks. Several officers
of the rebel army have sent word to General Steele
that they will come in and give themselves up, and
abandon the rebel- cause for the future. The editor
of the paper published in the county where Colonel
Gantt resides has been giving the pamphlet a co
lumn of abuse, but is careful not to publish any
material portion of it. Colonel Gantt's county is
still in the rebel lines.
A petition has gone to Washington for the al , -
pointment of a military and provisional governor
for Arkansas. Hem Anthony Rogers, of Pine Bluff,
has been named in the petition, and the chalices are
that he will receive the appointment. Mr. Rogers
is spoken of in high terms by the prominent 'men
of Little Rock and of the State, and I judge that
his appointment would be acceptable to the people.
On the main question, with reference to making Ar
kansas a free State, he is understood to be in -favor
of the movement. His course would be exceedingly'
mild, and not calculated to create disturbance in the
political ranks.
The greatest good feeling has sprung up betvicen
the citizens and the military. Most of the houses
were open to visitors, and most of the officers now
here have secured , quite a circle of acquaintance.
General Steele had adopted the policy which he
judged best for bringing, the people to friendly
terms, and has met with a deciderlsuccess.. It is in

[SPecial Correspondence of The Press.]
Marrrurs, Tenn., November 22, 1863.
Two days ago this city was thrown into great ex
meat by the announcement of a new order from G-e
-neral Sherman. It provides for the enrolment of
all able.bodred citizens of West Tennessee into a
military organization, and authorizes the command
ers of detachments, regiments, and batteries, to
Make such impreeements as may be necessary to fill
their commands up to the maximum. As none of
these commands contain more than half the proper
number, it will readily be seen that the impressment
will take all the able-bodied citizens in the region.
In Memphis nothing else was talked about the first
day after its appearance. On the following morning
another order made its appearance, requiring the
enrolment of all persons liable to do military duty
within the limits of the city; all who neglected to
comply with the order within ten days to be forced
into the ranke. This was not a great modification,
after all, but gave a little time for breathing.
The order for impressment was construed-literally
at Corinth and Lagrange. The autlera , stores were
closed, and their proprietors placed in the ranks.
Cotton speculators and others were disposed of in
like manner, and every man found within the lines
who was capable of bearing arms was at once made
to shoulder a musket. Never before, since our ar
mies occupied this region, was there such a panic
the rear of the army. Every man who could find
any means of getting away availed himself of it - at
once. In Memphis the order was enforced u;son
many of the thieves and gamblers who were infest
ing the town, and one of the regiments boasts of
having made several recruits in this manner. - The i
disreputable class is fast being thinned out. None
others have thus far been molested, and it is hardly
probable that they will be.
The enrolment is made to embrace every one, and
is being" rapidly filled up. All over the town aloes
have been opened in each ward, so that citizens may
have no trouble in finding places to fall in. The re
cruiting officers have done pretty welt through — the
effecte of the scare, and are obtaining more now in
a day than they used to get in a week's time. It is
very difficult to obtain passes for leaving the city,
either up Or down the river, and the provost mar
ehaVe office is hourly the scene of many bitter dis
appointments. All kirads of ruses are . attempted,
but few of them succeed. Yesterday a woman asked
a pass for herself and little boy; the clerk readily
gave-the one for herself, but refused any pass for the
child until he should be brought forward. She was
very reluctant to produce him, but finally did so.
He proved to be a youth. of dire feet ten, sporting, a
respectable moustache. The "litt:e boy" was told
that he would make an excellent eoldier, and was
requeeted to enroll his name in a book ready for the
purpose. The mother of the little fellow was much
chagrined at the failure of her stratagem. The
crowd of applicants is very great, and but few of
them succeed - in obtaining permission to leave.
Those who possess the misfortune of being Without
physical defects are just now particularly lugu
brious. The loss of a toe or of an eye is now con
sidered a great boon.
Accompanying this order was another, closing the
lines against all trade in either direction. Thie will
prevent cotton coming in or goods going out beyond
our.lines. Our, military authorities have always
been disposed to show a leniency towardi the pea,
ple of the country, and have allowed them considera
ble latitude. Thie favor has been abused constantly
by the sending of improper articles in greater
quantities than the permits alloWed. Last week
our troops found, near Tuscumbia, a quantity of
goods from three houses in this city, all of them
being run by Jews. Letters were discovered dm
plicating the shippers in other snuggling trans-
Actions. An order was at once issued closing their
stores and confiscating their stooks. The Govern
ment will receive about $200,000 by the operation,
the stock's of goods being quite large. One of the
firms deals in boots and shoes, and had just laid in
a large quantity of heavy boots, evidently designed
for the contraband trade. These' boots will be
foUnd excellent - for-our cavalrymen.
The order for the stoppage of trade caused much
commotion among the cotton dealers, as it will ma
terially affect their business. It is in direct conflict
with theregulations now in force, in which it is de
clared that the Treasury Department shall have
the exclusive management of trade matters. At
the same time it is a manifestly proper proceeding'
and one that should have been adopted long ago.
The people of this region are so anxious to do evil
that they ureter it where it would be just as well
for them to do good. A little wholeaome despotism
is what they have needed for a long time. The or
der will have the effect to close •otr their business
for some time, as it is not likely to be revoked very
000 D.
In Mississippi the rebels are preparing for a new
series of operations. Gen. Polk has been sent there
out of contact with Gen. Bragg, where he will have
a new field in which to operate to his heart's con
tent. He is placed in command of all the troops in
that State, and is ordered to concentrate them at
Grenada and Canton. The number of men he can
assemble will hardly exceed fifteen thousand of all
arms. The conscription law is again raking the
country for recruits for the rebel ranks, but it is not
likely that many will be obtained. Gen. Loring is
in command under Gen. Polk, and is to act as his
exeoutive officer. It is not known what movement
they have in view, though it is probable they
will attempt to destroy communication between this
city and Corinth. It is hinted that they design an
attack upon Memphis, in the event of the troops
now here being withdrawn for operations elsewhere.
It can hardly be possible that they would venture
an attack here with so small a force. Our defences
axe now so good that they Would find much trouble
n taking them. The attacks of the rebels upon our
works, of late, have not been very successful.
The capture of Brownsville by General Banks is
likely to put a new phew upon rebel matters In
Texas and Arkansas. Parties recently from Kirby
Smith's locality say the rebels are talking of moving
everything to the Texas border and attempting to
cross into Mexico in the event of being hard pushed.
They have abandoned all hopes of recovering Ar
kansas and Louisiana, and eay that Texas is the only
thing to fight for. If our troops had not gone to the
frontier their plan of retreat in that direction would
have been very good, and might have succeeded.
General Banks' position on the Rio Grande effec
tually cuts them off in that quarter except by what is
known as the upper route, by way of El Paso. The
Southwestern rebels are being very rapidly hemmed
in, and must look upon their position as one that
might be better. With an army fast diminishing
by deeertion or disease they will be compelled to
give Up the contest before long.
A rumor comes from below that a rebel force of
considerable else is on its way to the Mississippi, to
cut off navigation. How true it may be it is diffi
cult to say, but it is possible that Kirby Smith may
have sent a detachment in that direction. It is
more probable that the force in question is nothing
more than an accumulation of guerillas in con
siderable numbers on some grand stealing expedi
tion. The guerillas along the river are everywhere
abundant, but they have not, thue far, gathered in.
large bodies. It would be perfectly natural foil"
them to bring a large number together for an expe
dition of extra importance.
A few daysitgo a band of thirty came into Hick
-man, Ky., and captured some, eighty mules and
made prisoners of about twenty soldiers. No
damage was done to the town by these guerillas, as
Hickman is known to be most bitterly disloyal.
You may recollect my mention, a short time ago, of
the firing upon the Crescent City about seventy I
miles above here. All the guerillas who took part
in that enterprise have been arrested and brought to
this city. They will be tried for assault with in
tent to kill, and there is little doubt of their con
viction.
The Seceseioniate of this city are much annoyed
at the placing on duty of a considerable force of
negro soldiers. Moat of them were recruited here,
and they prove a great success in the ranks. The
provisions of the new order, putting all able-bodied
negroes in the service, will soon be enforced here.
There are many idle negroee about the city, though
they are not as abundant as they, were before the
recruiting was commenced.. The negro soldiers on
duty here have acquitted themselves handsomely.
Through the vigilance of a negro Woke; night be
fore last, a rebel mail carrier was captured under
circumstances where he would haVe ordinarily
passed unperceived. The mail is now being
examined at headquarters.
The !boats of. the Mississippi marine brigade are
doing- active service in keeping the - river clear.
Within the last three months they have captured
two millions dollars' worth of Confederate money,
and a /ergo amount of other property. Sines the
death of Colonel Ellett, the brigade ham been in corn

harger—variously estimated at from four to nine—
approached within three hundred yards of the fort
and"opf net' fire with musketry. The garrison, which
had been previously placed in readineez for any
emergency by the ever vigilant commander, returned
the fire, and the boats retired.
Yesterday morning the iron•clads tried Moultrie,
but eooh got sick and quit. The bombardment was
furious for awhile, but after exhausting much am-
munition and some time, doing hothing, the moni
tors skedaddled. • -
About tweety. five ICO•pound Parrott shelle were
filing into - the-city to•day. Old Gilmore scattered
them 'promiscuously in the lower part of the city,
anti it really _seemed, from the way in which they
were pitched about that lie.was trying to hit some
body. The City Hall building had a hole punched
in one corner, and some of the marble cornice
knocked away. One struck the telegraph office, and
%the operators "cut stick." One smashed through
the roof of a house in Queen street, and several
falling in this neighborhood, the frightened denizens
"vamoosed to the tune of the double quick." Se
veral fell in the ,vicinity of the banks on Broad
street and East Bay, tearing up the streets, smash
ing windowpanes, and kicking up the mischief ge
nerally. One went crashing' through the Mechanics'
and Planters' Bank, and it is evident, I think that
Gilmore was after making a deposit. Whether he
will be regularly "booked," and his currency taken
"at par," is more than I can say.
Several counting rooms on the wharves were
slightly smashed; but during the entire shelling,
which lasted from about half past 9 to 1 o'clock, no
one was hurt. ,
Some time ago it was thundered from the North
ern press that.ere the ides of November Charleston
would be in ashes, and straightway - all Yank:ee land
waxrd merry and prepared for a grand jubilee.
Dahlgren "screwed his courage to the sticking
place , .—Gilmore-plied the spade and pick, trained
his heavy guns, and harped upon " Greek fire." We
still live, and the !, hot-bed ofthe. rebellion" is not
yet in ashes !
THE REBEL PRESS.
A Plot to Burn Richmond—The Union Pr!-
' soners, &e.—Lougstreet and Burnside.
(From the Richmond Reaminer. Nov. 24.3
The plot to liberate the prisoners, overpower or
murder the guarea, and burn as much as possible of
Richmond—which plot was ventilated in these co
lumns yesterday—it Seems was first disclosed to the
authorities through one of the Yankee prisoners,
and an investigation," immediately instituted, dis
closed the startling fact that such a plan was really
on foot, and that its timely discovery alone prevent
ed the attempt being made.
The first revelations were made about the 27th of
October, and again about the 31st. Additional, and
more positive evidence WiSES broughtto light through
various combinations early in November. Soon
after the plot was deemed serious enough to squash
before it came to a heading, and it was accomplished
in such a manner as to indicate to the ten or twelve
thousand conspirators that their game was in one
own hands, and that the authorities were "masters
of the situation."
It is very positively asserted that the Yankee
commander at Fortress Monroe was in the secrets of
the conspiratori, who were to receive very material
aid from men who - are seen (but not known) upoii
the streets of Richmond every day.‘ Fortunately for
the Confederacy, the' disclosures - prat have followed
the dencesnrent have fixed the argue eyes of the Go
vernment upon such, and, true as daylight follows
darkness; they will one day be brought to stand in
an ignominious light before the public, if not to
hang in a state of suspension between heaven and
earth at Camp Lee.
General Foster, commanding the Department of
North Carolina and East Virginia, was undoubtedly
aware of the existence of such a plot, and gave it
aid and countenance, promising to have a - force of
cavalry ready to protect the rear of the 'released
prisoners, and to supply them with arms to enable
them to cut their way to Fortress Monroe.
The plot. it has been further learned, included the
destruction of the arsenals, Government works, the
important bridges across the Tames, and the gun
boati ' - et, the navy yard at Rocketta. We will not
intimate that this destructive programme could
have been carriedout, but would rather congratu
late the citizens of Richmond on their delivery from
the barest possibility of such frightful scenes as must
have ensued had the plot ripened into open revolt,
Few who slept soundly in their homes at night
were aware or even dreamed of the volcanic demon
that feigned slumber in their midst, only waiting
for the signal to burst theoords of military restraint
and riot in dame and bloddreVaa -
Thanks to a providential intgepositien, the autho
rities, forewarned, are forMlened, and the- day or
night when such a revolt could have been successful

U - 1 , .T10N PRISONERS AND THE GOVERNMENT. RATIONS.
An article in the Herald, which appeared a few
days ago, headed "Brutal Action of the Rebel Go
vernment—A New Crusade for the Union Prison
ers." draws, forth the following statement from the
Richmond Examiner of Nov. 21:
Gen. Meredith, on the 12th, enclosed to our com
missioner the following letter, addreesed to "Capt.
Edward A. Fobee, Libby - Prison"
FOP.TRESS MONROE, Nov. 12. 1863.
Capt. Edward A. Fobes, Libby Prison, Richmond, Va.:
Sin : I send by flag of truce this day twenty-four
thousand rations, the distribution of which I autho
rize you to superintend. You will please forward
me receipts for the same. Should the Confederate
authorities allow this course to be pursued in sub.
slating our prisoners, I will consider your receipts
as evidence of the fact, and will keep up the supply.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
S. A. MEREDITH,
Brigadier General and Agent of Exchange..
Judge Ould promptly returned it, with the follow
ing endorsement:
Respectfully returned to Brigadier General Mere
dith. This letter will not be delivered to Captain
Fobes. I have to-day, in a letter, informed you that
the rations, including candles, will be served to your
soldiers. The manner in which that is to be done
will be governed by our regulations not yours. If
you are not satisfied with those regulations, you can
take back your rations, and withhold any is the
future. RU. ODLE:,
Agent of Exchange.
Another letter ' written by our commissioner - on
the 151 h, assured General .Meredith- that while our
authorities would not allow directions to issue from
Fortress Monroe to a Federal prisoner in Richmond
to attend to the distribution of rations, yet the pro
visions would be distributed in conformity With such
regulations as would be established by the prison
authorities.
These letters were delivered to Lieutenant Colo.
nel Irvine, the officer in charge of the boat that
brought the rations to City Point. After some con
siderable hesitation, he concluded to take the pro
visione back to Fortress Monroe, and immediately,
from that Beat of liege issued the report, which seems
to have inflamed all Yankeedom, that the Confede
rate authorities had refused to receive the rations
destined for the " starving prisoners in Richmond."
The felt of the case is, that the identical pro
visions carried back to Fortress Monroe by Lieut.
Colonel Irvine were immediately despatched by the
same hands to City Point, to be received upon the
terms proposed be'our commissioner. and at the very
time of the appearance of the Herald's editorial were
helping to fill Vie greedy stomachs of the Yankee
prisoners. It seems the steamer that conveyed the
rations back to Fortress Monroe remained there
just about long enough to allow this monstrous lie
to be hatched.
It may be well enough here to elate that we have
been officially informed that the Federal agent of
exchange notified Judge Ould that if the rations
sent to the Federal prisoners (to be distributed under
the direction lof Captain Fobes)( should not be re
ceived, the raiiona of our priaciners in the hands of
the Yankees would be reduced. -

PIERMONT
The rnited States have many more Confederate
prisoners than the Confederacy holds of their men.
TO send them all home would necessitate the tending
and clothing of many more than at - prenent. Why,
then, do they keep their prisoners shut up in a land
where people are starving, and whose resources are
exhausted 7 if they prefer to shut up their ecle.icrs
in the midst of a starving, suffering people they
need net charge crueltywhere necessity e.dmits of
no other course. If cruelty is • practised by either
Government, it
. cannot rationally be charged on
us, since we desire to subject a greater number of
our own men, now in Yankee prisons, to that "dire
poverty" that is now said to be starving the Yankee
prisoners.
Our asseveration will norconvinee the Trisz:;:e,we
know, and it will never publish this article; but It
may understand from it that a people who are euf.
tering like ourselves are not to be, expected to do
snore for their enemies, who are prisoners in our
hands, and who have ruthlessly destroyed our re-
ISOTITCCE, than they do for their Own soldiers. Lod
truth demands us to say : that when the issue of star

Yankee - prisoners is presented, the latter will cer
tainly' die. • We.will share with them our saanty
'means, divide our "half rations;" but when the
dying point is renched, the Yanee prisoners will
be the first to meet that " sacral:tire." In the

Case in the Netv Orleand-Courts.
Worresnondence of the Herald. ]
As I stated in the letter sent previous to this, the
judicial courts in this city have entered vigorously
upon their winter's work. We have a Provisional
Court—something of the nature of the Gocamon
Pleas Court of . New York—the United States. Dia
trict Court, and a half dozen local 'district courts,
not tp speak of the military courts.-
In the Second District Court, on the 11th instant,
Judge J. S. Whittaker presiding, an interesting de
cision was given touching the status of the colored
population, their right to marry, to inherit property,
and to be emancipated under the laws of Louisiana.
It solvei.iieveral points heretofore in controversy.
The following is the istory and decision of the case:
Deceased, a free man of color, wade two wills,
each by authentic parties; the first en the 21st of
July, 1857, in which he declares he was never mar
ried ; that he had a natural con, ,Tean Baptiste,
twenty-three Years - Of age;'that he owned the ne
green Theatie, purchased from. one Sanite Couvreur,
with charge of emancipating her; that she was not
yet emancipated ; but he requires her to be so,. the
laws permitting, at the expense of his succession ;
and he constitutes bis natural son his sole heir, and
appoints an executor.
By his:second will, made the sth day of April,
1862, he names ld. X. Bossiere, f m. c., his executor;
atates the - fact that .he has owned: nestle some
eleven years, under obligation,of freeing her; con
fides this . obligation, as an. especial +rust, to his ex
ecutor : names said executor sal:is-universal legit•
tee, declaring that he has no - Lielr having rights bir
inheritance, and bequests to Theatis , three hundred
dollars, revoking all previous testaments.-
Pesanges dies August 4th, 186.2. and on -the 4th of
October Bossierc petitions for the probate ;of the
last will ; is confirmed as executor, and obtains an
order for an inventory, which was died on the 31st,
and shows property exceeding in value three thou.-
sand dollars.
The Court is satisfied that Theatis was free at the
time of the marriage, and that Jean Baptiste Ni
cholas has not the status that permits him to inherit.
By the act of Bossiere, the universal legatee, claim
ing nothing under it. the will has - become without
effect, and the property must pass to, the legalbeir.
Theatis, the -wife, is the only one entitled to act
under article 913.
It is therefore ordered that 'nests be recognizNl
as the widow of the deceased Nicholas Desongest, and
that ebe is entitled as heir to the effects+ of his suc
cession, after payment of the expenses and charge*
of the same.
Another interesting case before one of the courts
was one in which a rebel captain sued for • a
divorce by his wife, the plaintiff charging her re
creant lord with being disloyal to her and his coun
try, and proposes to establish her loyalty and her
husband's treason. The•plaintiff is Hannah Lyons,
wife of Alphane Bobet. The plaintiff represents
that she was married to Bobet in 1862, in this city,
and from that time till the month of March; 1862,
they lived together, and she always performed the
part of a. good, true, and faithful wife, never ,vio
'sting the vows she made to him in marriage ; but
the husband, on the contrary, did repeatedly strike
and best her without provocation. In March, 1862, •
he left her and went to the State of Miesissippi,where
hejoined the rebel army, and at last accounts acting
as an officer therein. The plaintiff further says that
she has always been loyal to the Government of the
United States, and that her husband has been ever
since the breaking out'of the- rebellion a most in
veterate and incorrigible rebel. She: also charges
him with having lived in adultery with divers wo- •
men, facts which have but recently come to her
knowledge. She further alleges that there has
been no issue from the marriage, and that the com
munity property at the time of his deserting her
was worth upwards of one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, in real estate, slaves, bills, notes, and •
money. The same being community property, and
it owing no debts, she is justly and legally entitled
to One-half thereof, And a separation of property
and a divorce a vineulo .
