I^Wc have received the Camden
Democrat, just started by Mr. Thrower,
at Camden, Ark. Mr. Thrower is a live
newspaper man, a sound Democrat, and
will publish a paper that will be a fair
exponent of, and a credit to the peoplo
of his section. We wish him all man
ner of success.
jMFWc are glad to place ou our ex
shangc list the Journal of Education, a
new publication just commenced at St.
Louis, Mo. It is a neatly printed
monthly of sixteen pages, and as its
title indicates, will bo devoted to edu
cational interests. Terms, $1 60 per
annum.
IgrWo see It stated that Messrs.
Hobson aud Liuscott, of Camden, Ark.,
whose office was destroyed some twelve
months ago by one Major Pearce, in
tend starting a paper soon. In that
event, Camden will have four weekly
newspapers ; more than is published in
any other one town iu the state. If she
will support them it will make her a
city.
Fgy-Onr farming friends should know
that the cotton buying merclmnts of

of those who have to camp out when
bringing in their cotton. Many have

town for the want of something of this
kind; now they can camp in town
without any expense, and save much
time. _

j^-Our town has presented quite a
brisk appearance for the jiast week,
cotton coming In rapidly for this time
of the season, and bringing a remuner
ative price to the producer. It has
been selling during the week from
21)4 @22J4c. After all the fright about
ao much rain, and its damaging effects,
we feel justified in predicting that ai
much cotton will be made as can be
picked by the first of January. If w<
can have fair weather for six weeks
longer, our people will gather the besi
crop of cotton and corn that has beei
prodneed in this section for the pas
aix or seven years. This, with tin
present ruling prices, and the smal
amouut of indebtedness of the farmer
to their merchants, will place tlii
country in a comparatively easy condi

Of M. and D. Sinclair- aged 2 raoiithi
W Little Jap came in yeatarday,
bid us good morning, and looked un
commonly communicative. We knew
something wan on hand, so we asked
him if lie had seen or heard anything
new about town worthy of note. He
modestly pulled out the following, and
for fear of criticism, slipped out while
we Were reading it:
sinbad's eighth voyage.
When Sinbad, the sailor, had rested
from the fatigues and exposures of his
seveuth voyage he became weary of
the dull and monotonous life of ease
he was leadiug, and agaiu determined
to go to sea, in the hope of making
some new discovery or meeting with
some adventure that would render his
name still more famous. It was while
on this etghth voyage, and when about
three mouths out, that a small island of
rock was discovered about a *half mile
to the starboard. On approaching it
nearer it was discovered to be Inhabit
ed by the ghosts of departed carpet
baggers, who, as the vessel neared the
island, marched on board, passing
over the water by means of patent
three-ply, double extra gum iloats at
tached to their feet. No sooner were
they on board than they put him on
the rock and commenced to search the
vessel for contraband goods. After
this they undertook to navigate the
ship themselves and wrecked it off
Nigger Head Point in the evening.
Sinbad was again left wrecked, and
almost in the clutches of despair. Af
ter bewailing his ill fortune for a few
hours, hunger roused him from his
melancholy thoughts and ho began to
search around for something to ap
pease his appetite. He found bird’s
eggs only, as nothing else animate
seemed to inhabit the rock. The next
difficulty was the want of fresb Water.
For this he hunted in vain. But iu the
moment when dispair had almost
seized upon him he discovered a
spring similar to Grant’s sanimcr re
sort, the Nodaway Springs, which, if
uot water, serves that purpose to
many, being brandy and water already
mixed by mother earth. Upon these
two discoveries he lived for many
days, when a happy thought struck
him. By chance he had placed a roll
/if umnll w! i’P in It is Snnbnt ttrwvlrnl nml
with tills lie contrived a machine for
beating the eggs in a marvelous short
time, and mixing them with the liquor
from the spring he procured what was
anciently termed egg-nogg. He was
gloriously oblivious thenceforth, and
would have remained the residue of
his life upon that lone rock in the sea
had not a vessel taken him off a very
few days afterward. That vessel soon
returned him to home and friends
again. The machine lie invented for
making that ancient and time-honored
beverage has given him great fame,
and the gratitude of many will repay
him for all his losses. Siubad has left
the sea forever, nnd now rests from his
last voyage, while Stewart, Gwynne
& Co. exhibit and sell the wonderful
machine.

T1IE PROSPECTS.
It seems to be one of the laws of our
being to look ahead and anticipate
coming cveuts. The prospects of things
interest business men every where,
hence the constant inquiry—how is
crops? what are the prospects? from
the time the seed is cast into the ground
till the proceeds are pocketed. But
what are the prospects relative to crops
in Arkansas or more immediately in
Prairie couuty ? It may be safely an
swered, never better than now. True
it is, that the heavy rains in July, Au
gust and September damaged the cot
ton and corn to some extent—in some
places more, in others less—but had the
seasons been tempered to the crops
from the isOth of July till now, more
corn and cotton would have been made
than could be gathered, and prices
would have gone down to mere nomi
nal amounts; as it is, most farmers
have as much cotton and corn as they
cau possibly gather between this and
the first of January next. Hence our
prospects are decidedly flattering.
Most of our prudent and economical
farmers will feel in easy circumstauces
when they gather, sell and realize the
proceeds of the present crop, and the
country will for the first time in a num
ber of years, feel relioved from debt
, that has hung upon it like an ill
omened incubus. It matters not how
, much property a people may have or
i hold If they are in debt for it, and the
. interest of the debt is all the time ac
cumulating, that community or people
is not independent, easy or reliable,
and this thing of the credit system so
called, or rather the swindling system,
has been and is to-day the greatest evil
and backset that has ever cursed and
' ruined the prospects of the pe>ople ol
* the South. You may talk about thf
evils of drinking whiskey, eating opt
* um and chewiug tobacco, but thit
; credit system mounts above them all in
its evils to society. It causes the cred
itor to lose confidence and respect foi
j his creditor, who practices the saylnf
. (hat promises like pie crust are madi
to be broken. Bat the cesh system
well observed end practiced will build
ap and establish any people, and pre
pare them for adversity as well as for
prosperity. The credit syetem always
has and always will rain both the cred
itor end the debtor; for on the pert of
the creditor it bleeds end depletes him
of whatever means he may set out with ;
end on the part of the debtor It begets
extravagance, indolence, and Want of
self-respect and ^elf-reliance. But it
is a pleasing feature that sad experience
has Introduced, in this our day, that all
business men of any note have adopted
and are rigidly carrying out the honest
cash system; hence our prospects are
far brighter now, than in days of other
years—and may we strictly adhere to
the cash system. How those profess
ing to be Christians, can from time to
time buy on a credit, without any
probability of paying, with the solemn
injunction staring them in the face—
■“Owe uo man any thing,” is hard for us
to decide. But a brighter and better
day is dawning Upon us in regard to
the credit or swindling system. The
ordeal through which the Southern
people have just passed, has taught us
an important lesson on this subject, and
may we never forget it. The signs of
the times betoken a brighter and better
futufe; our prospects are decidedly
encouraging. No people have higher
and better inducements for effort and
action than the people of Arkansas—
and her people are beginning to realize
their advadtages and resources—pa
tience and perseverance will in a few
years, place Arkansas as oneof the first
States in the great tier of southwestern
States, in agriculture, commerce and
the arts. X.

The following is from the Black
River Standard of October 3d:
Fatal Accidxnt.—A very sad acci
dent occured yesterday, a few miles
from town, which resulted In the death
of a young man by the name of John
Lloyd. He was riding a wild mule at
the time, aud the mule becoming fright
ened, threw him against a stump on the
side of the road, killing him almost in
stantly. Mr. Lloyd leaves a wife aud
child, besides numerous friends, to
mourn his untimely death.
IVIMsfiV.—lilli UBIUJ) «• lltnv OVMWU1
boy hi this county, on the 8th day of
thiVmonth, killed Carroll Deal, another
school boy, by striking him on the head
with a bottle, which was in his satchel!
at the time, and in which ho was in the
habit of carrying milk to school. It
appears that 'deceased was a large boy
and been quarrelling with a little bro
ther of Baldy and had cither struck or
struck at him when he received the
blow which resulted in his death. The
Doctor who examined the deceased
could find no evidences of a blow, ex
cept a slight thickening of the skin at
one point on the head.
From all the evidence it appears that
Ed. Baldy had no purpose of inflicting
a serious injury upon deceased, ana
that the killing'was wholly uninten
tional. He was, however, bound over
by our Senatorial Magistrate in a bond
of $300, to appear at the Circuit Court.
The Augusta Sentinel of October 8th,
has the following:
Circuit Court.—Monday, the 28th
ult, was the time appointed by law for
the holding of the circuit court in this
county. No court was held here, nor
was there one holdeu in this judicial
district under the new regime during
the summer and fall. A man by the
name of Story, it is said, is the appoin
ted for this district, who claims to be a
resident of Sebastain county, iu this
state. The present constitution pro
vides that the judge shall reside in the
circuit or district to which he may be
appoiuled or elected. Judgo Story is
unknown here, and, from what we can
learn, has never put his foot on the soil
iu this judicial district. During last
August, a printed circular was received
here from Judge Story, dated Salem
Massachusetts, in which he directed
that all the courts in this district should
stand adjourned for eight weeks. As
the judge had no right to adjourn a
court iu vacation, our circuit court,
stands adjourned until next March, by
operation of law. We have no resi
dent judge of the circuit court, and the
consequence is, that thoso important
writs of injunction, writs of habeas
corpus, and other remedial wauts, can
not be issued or acted upon without
great delav. Life, liberty and property
of the cillten, are in jeopardy on ac
count of the absence of the presiding

Shooting from thb Bosh.—On last
Saturday about 11 o’clock a. m.. while
D. P. Upharn, aud F. A. McClure, were
riding along tbg road about eight miles
from this pl&pe, were fired upon by
some unknown persons concealed in
the brush. Both were slightly wound
ed. The act was deprecated by the
citizens of this place, who volunteered
to execute the law at all hazards, if
complaint was made and process put in
the hands of officen for execution.
No action was taken however, because
the persons who did (he act could not
be indentified, and no cine is as yet dis
covered to prosecute the offenders.
We do not suppose that the motives
which prompted this unlawful act was
of a political nature. F. A. McClure,
the register of this county, had given a
fair registration, for which the people
of this community had accorded to him
credit for a fair administration of the
registration law.
Incendiarism.—We have learned of
the burning of the store bouse of the
widow Harrison, of Black River town
ship. Independence couuty, last week
by some radical thieves, because it had
been used onee by the democrats to
organize a Seymour and Blair clnb.
These threats were made by the radi
cals of that township, and they huvi
been true to their word. “Let us have
peace,” we have no doubt issues from
the throats of these scoundrels daily,
and still they pillage, burn and mur
dor.—Jackson Port Hoarld.
Carroll Codntt.—The shooting o
four good citizens by two of Clayton i
melish, was a wanton outrage. Th<
killed are a Mr. Ferrand, and a Mr
Thomas and two men by name o
Lamb, all members of the Seymour anr
Blair club. The melish men who die
the killing, are named Long, scalawag:
of the lowest order. They are non
larking about, under the wings of thi
melish.—Searcy Record.
-In reference to the tripl of Jeffer
■on Davis, it is asserted that the Attor
ney General of Virginia will deinant
that the case be tried, although Mr
Evarts has issued no instructions 01
the subject, hut there r.re reasons fo
stating that the trial will again be post

BULL’S
WORM DESTROYER.
To my United States aad World
wide Readers.
I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL S WORM DESTROYER;
Yillarow, Walkbr County, Ga., I
June 29, I860. j
Dr. John Bull—Dear Str: I have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished-f6r effect. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
I know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. Un tne contrary tney are un
certeain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms l can gel
the medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of
it. I am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s,
but I sec no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
its combination. For my part, I shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviato
suffering humanity which I may be able to
command—not hesitAting because some one
more ingeuious tliau myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
uo means au advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease* to which human flesh is heir.
Pleaso reply soon, and inform me of your
beat terms. I am. sir, most, respectfully.

Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, I860.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the heal
ing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I
send you the following statement of my case.
1 was wounded about two years ago—was
takeu prisoner and confined for sixteen
months. Being moved so often, my wounds
have not healed yet I have not sat up a
moment since I was wounded. I am shot
through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to assist na
ture. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla ;
than any thing else. I wish that that is gen
uine. Please express me half adozeu bottles,
and oblige
Cait. C. P. JOHNSON,
St. Louis, Mo.
p. S.—The following was written April 80,
18G5, by Mrs Jennie Johnson, mother of
Capt. Johnson.
Du. Di ll—Dear Sir : My husband, Dr. t.
8. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physi
cian in Central New York, where lie died,
leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care.
At thirteen years of age he had a chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It Ci’hko Him. I have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has attended it. The cures effected in
some caeca of acrofuta and fever sores were almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for jny son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,
hence his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but I believe he will recover.
Respectfully,
JENNIE JOHNSON.

Manufacturer and Vender of the Celebrated
Smith’s Tonic Syrup!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
ou
CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this oelebrated medicin
jnstly claims fur it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
sate, certain, speedy, and permanent cure of
Ague and Fever, or Chills aud Fever, whether
of Bhort or lung standing. He refers to the
entire Western aud South-Western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
aud carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been oured by a single
bottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral-health. It is, however, prudent, and in
every onse more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been cheeked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing eases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
ai(l to keep the bowels in good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the T^nie, a single dose of BULL’8
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.

TEXAS TONIC SYRUP!
A Vegetable Compound, for the Rapid and
Permanent Cure of
Chills aad Fever, or Fever aad
Ague, Dumb Ague, Iaterralt
teat aad Remittent Fevers,
Jaundice aad Enlargement
or the Spleea, or Ague
Cake.
Having had indubitable evidence of its
prompt and certain effects from the testimo
ny of a multitude of respectable citizens,
among whom are classed some of our best
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of Fever and
Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the
facts in our possession of its intrinsic value,
it would not be too much for us to slate that
when the directions are strictly complied
with, we warrant a cure in every case where
it, is tried. It is pleasant to tne taste, ana
the cheapest medicine in the world. There
fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is
not far distant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever aud
Ague or Chills and Fover is found to exist.
The wonderful operation Of the Texas Ton
ic Syrup ih neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison in the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough and permanent cure Of
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all
their kindred diseases, in whatever form of
Bilious Complaints they may make their ap
pearance.
As its name imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, and can be taken with
safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is tiie result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, aud was nev
er kuowu to fail, even where all othe reme
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex
traordinary properties of this home produc
tion, manufactured from Roots and Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(aud hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet
which accompauies each bottle: also the en
dorsements of the press in all the Southern
States, indicating the many thousand cures
already performed by our justly celebrated
Texas Tonic Syrup.
The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
country, are uniform in stating the medicine
is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute
for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
Ah a home enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the people of this section of
the country, who are now struggling in an
effort to do away with old prejudices in favor
of foreign produce* and may we not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums,” the proprietors
of which, in most oases, are governed by no
thing but mercenary motives, know nothing j
of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and
care nothiug for our interests, except to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases
of two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms thau
any other remedy affords.

SEWING MACHINES!
for durability, simplicity and beauty,
stands without a rival. The stitoh is alike
on both sides of the fabric sewed, and will
uot rip or ravel. The following facts hav
ing been demonstrated, are given as reasons
why the STAR MACH INS should be prefer
red to any other:
1. Their great simplicity.
2. It is impossible for them to get out of
adjustment during proper usage,
8. The.y are of great capacitv, and will
stitch, hem, fell, braid, bind, cord and gather
without bastinar.
4. They have an adjustable press or foot
to hold tho work; and they sew equally well
the lightest and heaviest fabrics.
6. They will sew over the heaviest seams
without changing the tension or breaking the
finest thread.
C. They use a straight needle—curved ones
are liable to break.
7. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
8. They run easily, and are almost noise
less.
THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically a
first-class Machine in every respect, and,
what is most of all, it Is offered at a lower
price than any other good machine in the
market. Further particulars furnished on
