WEDNESDAY.AUGUST 24 1859.
HON. T. C HINDMAN.
This gentleman will address the people
of Richland township, Saint Frnncis Co.,
nt Col. J. T. Harr a (.son's, on Monday
next.
We are requested by the citi
zena of Des Arc and adjacent
country, to invite Col. T. C. Hindman to
deliver an address at Des Arc, on Tuesday
next, at eleven o'clock. Although Des
Arc is in the Second Congressional Dis
trict, it is immediately on the Colonel's
route from Saint Francis county to Searcy,
White county, where he will address the
people on Wednesday.
We are assured that Col. Hindman
will accept the above invitation; and we
trust the people will turn out, m masse, to
hear him.
PRAIRIE COUNTY ^AGRICULTURAL
AND MECHANICAL FAIR.
We have received the list of premiums
to be awarded at the Third Annual Exhi
bition of the Prairie Countv Agricultural
Society, to be held at Des Arc, on the
18th, 19th, and 20th of October next.
We will present the catalogue to our
readers next week.
New Mail Route—Des Arc With
in Fourteen Hours Travel or Mem
phis.—We are pleased to learn from our
worthy Postmaster, D. P. Black, Esq.,
that the Postmaster General has ordered
that one of the weekly trips on route No.
7831, from Des Arc to Fort Smith, be
discontinued, and that the semi-weekly
four-horse coach service be extended from
Des Arc to Madison, the end of the Rail
road*, logo into operation on the 1st of Oc
tober next. This will make a complete
semi-weekly stage line from Madison to
Fort Smith—over the nearest and best
route from Memphis to Fort Smith.
There are several bridges needed on
this route, between Des Arc and Cache
river. The contract for their immediate
erection was let out to Wm. Creel, Esq.,
on Monday Inst. Mr. Creel has had ex
tensive experience in bridge building, and
we are assured that no pains or expense
will be spared in making them substantial
and durable.
Col. R. M. Brimmer, one of the firm
of Rapley, Hanger & Co., contractors on
the above routes, suggested, more than n
year since, the extension of the stage line
from Des Arc to Madison, and there is
no doubt that his exertions and representa
tions to the department have accomplished
this much desired extension of mail facili
ties.
The route from Fort Smith to
Memphis via. Des Arc is the nearest
and most feasible for conveying the Over
land Mail, both summer and winter. A
great outrage has been perpetrated upon
the Department, in compelling this mail to
be carried via. Little Rock. If Col. But
terfield, or some of the Overland Mail
Agents, will take a look at this route, they
will hp rnnvmr.pd that all wp s*v is true.
If Little Rock has any matter to be car
ried by the Overland route they could
send it to Fort Smith—thus saving the el
bow route via Little Rock.

Paaiiue County Common School
Fund.—We call the especial attention of
all persons who are interested in the sub
ject, to the following law, which was
passed during the last session of the Le
gislature of our State. We wonder how
many men, having this fund in their hands,
have been punctual m paying their inte
rest semi-annually, in advance ? By their
not doing so, the Commissioner is required
by law to compound the interest. Look
out for squalls ! We understand, by this
law, that each and every person holding
School Funds is required to pay the same
over to the Common School Commis
sioner.
ANT ACT to cause all School Funds to
11E PAID DIRECTLY TO THE COMMISSIONERS
of Common Schools for the several
Counties.
Section 1. lie it enacted by the General
Assembly of the Mate of Arkansas. That from
and after the passage of this act, all the sheriff's
of the several counties, and all other persons
who may receive any of the moneys belonging
to the school fund, shall pay the same directly
to the Commissioner of the Common Schools
iu the several counties, and take duplicate re
ceipts therefor, instead of paying the same to
the County Treasurer.
Sec. ‘2. Be it further enacted, That at every
session of the county court in each county iu
this State, upon making ■settlement with the
sheriff, or any other officer that has, or ought
to have inoncysin theirhands belonging to the
common schools, such sheriff or officer shall
be di rected by the county court to pay the same
to the Commissioner of Common Schools ; and
such court shall cause the clerk to certify the
amount so found to be due to the Common
School Commissioner of the county: Provided.
That the counties of Arkansas, Bradley, Pur
laski, I/.ard. Marion, Poinsett, and Fulton. be,
and they are hereby exempted from the pro
visions of ihis act.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That this act
shall take effect, and be in force, from and
after its passage.
Approved, February 16, 1859.
By reference to the lort-ign news
in out columns it will be seen that our
Government has made a formal demand
upon the Germanic Confederation, lor the
restoration of German naturalized citizens
of the United Slates, who have been im
pressed into the military service in the
Gertoati States.
ELECTION NEWS.
Tennessee.—The official returns of
I the entire State has ml lorn rereired,
! Harris’ majority, it i» still conceded, will
be mar eight thousand.
Kentucky.—This State has gone
largely Democratic, electing Magoffin
, Governor, and the whole Democratic tirk
; et by an average majority of 10,000. The
I Legislature is largely Democratic, which
I will secure a Democratic United Statec
i Senator in place of Mr. Crittenden. The
Opposition have gnined two members of
Congress, which gives them an equal del
egation with the Democracy. The result
is as follows:
Democrats.—1st Dist., IT. C. Bur
nett; 2nd dist., S. O. Peyton; 5th dist., J.
Y. Brown; 8th dist., —Simms; 10th dist.,

members. All the others were members
of the last Congress.
Andrew B. Moore, Democrat, is re
elected Governor by a large majority.

Emerson Etheridge.—The Cincin
nati Enquirer has the following notice of
this gentleman.
“The election of this gentleman to Con
gress from the 9th District of Tennessee,
shows that an alliance with the Republi
cans of the North is by no means a politi
cal sin in some parts of the South. Mr.
Etheridge was in the Congress of 1855
and 1856, and voted constantly with Gid
dings and other ultra Republicans on all
political questions. In a number of instan
ces he separated from his American
friends to vole with the Republicans. A
constituency that will elect a man with
such a record as Etheridge, has not far to
go before it will support an out-and-out
Republican. Etheridge’s sympathy with
the Republicans was notorious at YVash
ington, notorious in Tennessee and noto
rious in all ports of the country.”

Election in the Cherokee Nation.
At the election held in the Cherokee Na

unanimously re-elected Principal Chief,
and Joseph Y’ann Second Chief of the Na
tion.
Everything relatire to European
pacification is of interest, and the Trieste
Gazette gives the following as the nego
tiations at Y'allegio nnd Villafranca.—
Marshall Valliant and Baron Von Hesse
adjusted the armistice; but it was Prince
Alexander of Hesse, brother-in-law of the
Emperor Alexander, who made the ar
rangements for the interview for the pur
pose oi considering me question oi peace.
After the armistice was signed, Louis Na
poleon made direct propositions in writing
to Francis Joseph, and requested him to
send a person who enjoyed his confidence
to Yallegio. The Emperor of Austria
sent the Prince Alexander of Hesse, who
was already acquainted with the Emperor
Napoleon. In the course of the conversa
tion, Louis Napoleon expressed a desire
to have an interview with Francis Joseph,
whose personal acquaintance he was very
desirous to make, as he felt assured he
should have little difficulty incoming loan
understanding with him. At first, the
Emperor of Austria declined the proposed
interview, upon the ground that Louis Na
poleon might propose such terms as would
prove him to be his enemy. The French
Emperor displayed great pliability gener
ally in the conversation. On the 10th, he
wrote to the Prince a letter setting forth
the military and political reasons why the
Emperor of Austria ought to make peace.
Alter referring to the history of the neu
tral Powers, lie declared that if his propo
sitions were refused, “he would wage a
war of life and death, and would not hesi
tate to have recourse to any means which
would enable him to obtain his ends.” The
result was the meeting of the Emperors,
and the peace.

-An Englishman, who has recently visit
ed Richmond, writes to the New York Spirit
of the Times that/peisonal observation on the
subject of slavery, as it exists in Virginia,
lias altered many of his former opinions. He
found the slaves much happier, much better
cared for, and much freer from care than he
expected to find them, and thinks their situa
tion will compare favorably with that of
whole classes in-Europe'for whom no par
ticular sympathy is expressed by many modern
philanthropists.

fell on the hard-fought field of the Thames.

From (he M-inphis Avalanche, i*th intt.]
Barbecue to Col. T. C. Hindman.
The Democrats of Tippah County.
Mississippi, have united in tendering to
their former Irllotv- citizen, the Hon. T.
C. 11 in'll nr. n. of A i karisas, a coinplunenta
ry baibecue. Col. Hindman has accepted
this token of regard and esteem, and the
barbecue comes off ut Kipley on lo-duy.
We acknowledge the receipt of an invita
tion, and, if business permitted, we would
gladly join in this tribute to a man who
has proved himself every way worthy of
such a demonstration. Col. Hindman’s
success in life Ims been brilliant. From
a poor and obscure boy he has left below
him many rounds in the ladder of lame;
hut great as has been his success, this
compliment, coming from his old friends
and neighbors, is the most brilliant victory
in his short hut eventful craeer. This
demonstration is a crushing rebuke to the
slanders which have recently been propa
gated in Arkansas for the purpose of de
stroying Col. Hindman. We have taken
no part in the politics of Arkansas. We
know nothing of the controversy, and
while we are determined not to take any
part in the contest, we will at all times
and under all circumstances defend Col.
Hindman’s name and fame from personal
calumny. He is a high-hearted, chival
rous gentlein .n. It is conceded by all
parties that lie loves the name of honor
more than he fears death, and he will
have no difficulty in dispelling the foul
hellish flood of slander which looms up
like the evening storm-cloud. The ene
mies of Col. Hindman have been ransack
ing the country for the noble purpose of
fishing up some exploded calumny by
which to destroy the object of their hate.
They have peeped into his past history
IVltll fltn Q9 mu 1’iiirtrrrir n uirliHt tl-int lliu
butcher a dog looks for the foul garbage
that falls at his Master's block, and they
have at last made the discovery that Col.
Hindman, many years ago, had some dif
ficulty about half a dollar, and the charge
has been magnified and exaggerated ii^
Arkansas until he is accused of having
stolen fifty cents ! Albert Pike was once
accused of stealing a canoe, and the
achievement was celebrated in song. Gen.
Pierce was represented as having given a
little hoy a stick of candy—but it has been
reserved to the enemies of Thomas C.
Hindman to make the smallest and most
contemptible charge that was ever concoc
ted to destroy a public man. It is no
doubt painful to be thus assailed, but we
trust Col. Hindman has the philosophy to
hide his time—that he has learned the
great lesson of knowing how to wait for a
just and unerring public opinion. The
people of Arkansas know the value of an
unstained reputation too well—they ap
preciate too highly the priceless property
of a good name, to allow these careless
and wicked assaults upon the private char
acter of a pure man to pass unrebuked.—
Tom. Hindman will pass through the or
deal unscathed. He may suffer—as any
proud man will suffer whose name has
been wantonly aspersed—but he will suf
fer like a man valiant in battle, whose
wounds, when they smart the most, are in
centives to new courage and earnests of
future honor.

Death or Gen. Proctoh.—The Eu
fflish papers of a late date record the death
of General Proctor, who played so impor
tant apart in the last war with Great Brit
ain, and who rendered himself so odious
to the American people, especially of the
north-west, by his cruelty. He command
ed the 82d regiment at the battle of Fort
Erie, and subsequently served along the
Niagara frontier, and for a long time made
Malden his headquarters, from which, in
conjunction with his savage allies, he
sallied forth to perpetrate all manner of
outrages upon the Americans. He died
a few weeks since, at his seat in Wales,
suddenly, from disease of the heart. In
July, 1814, he commanded the 82d before
Fort Erie ; from Sept. 2d, and through the
successive operations of the campaign, on
the Niagara frontier.

6®“ A Western correspondent says
there is one feature which is apparent all
over the west; while the towns and cities
have diminished in business and popula
tion, the country has increased in both.—
Men who would not live in town have
gone out upon the prairies, put their hands
to the plow, and determined that it is bet

-Our exchanges generally, says the
Washington Star, (with the exception of the
New York Courier ami Enquirer, which
stands by Louis Napoleon through thick and
thin.) seem thoroughly disgusted with the in
comprehensible termination of the European i
war. The general opinion seems to be that >
Napoleon, with all his military' successes, !
found himself in a tight place politically;
hence his singular backing down in his crusade i
for Italian Independence.

A Warning.—The Roman Catholic Bishop
of Montreal has addressed a circular to his
clergy, calling upon them. soon as possible,
I to pronounce from their pulpits “ a strong
warning against the opera, the theater, the
circus and other amusements of a similar
nature,, which, at the present moment, are
a real scandal to our city, and country dis
tricts.”
The Slave Trade.—Our New England
friends are immensely indignant at the very
mention of opening the slave trade, while, if
we are to believe the reports from that quar
ter, some half dozen vessels are now being fit
ter! out in New England ports expressly in
tended as slavers. What a pity it is that
some of their pious indignation could not be
reserved for their own people.
