PREPARATIONS IN ARKANSAS.
On the requisition of Gen. VAN DORN, commander of the trans-Mississippi department, Gov. RECTOR has issued a proclamation calling for ten thousand men, which invitation should, and we presume will, be at wants responded to with alacrity. The State is divided into four military divisions, and a quota assigned to each, as follows: First-the counties of Benton, Crawford, Yell, Carroll, Franklin, Scott, Madison, Johnson, Sebastian, Searcey, Pope, Newton, Van Buren, Marion, Conway, Washington and Perry, three thousand five hundred men. Second-The counties of Saline, Dallas, Hot Spring, Calhoun, Montgomery, Ouachita, Polk, Union, Sevier, Columbia, Pike, Lafayette, Hempstead and Clark, two thousand men. Third-The counties of Pulaski, Jefferson, Prairie, Bradley, Monroe, Drew, Phillips, Desha, Arkansas, Chicot and Ashley, fifteen hundred men. Fourth-The counties of White, Jackson, St. Francis, Independence, Crittenden, Izard, Mississippi, Fulton, Poinsett, Lawrence, Craighead, Randolph and Green, fifteen hundred men. All or either of the divisions failing to report the number of men respectfully assigned to them by the 5th of March will be subject to a draft, by counties, until their due proportion according to population is furnished to fill the requisition made upon the State by the general in command.
