the vacancy created by the resignation of
William Dee, Esq. Mr. Burk has given
bond, and entered upon the duties of his office.
“ Brownsville Echo.” —This “low-flung”
sheet, of the 8th inst., comes to band with more
than half a column of falsehoods, which must
have emanated from the brain of one who is
accustomed to slander, and who has “followed
lying and deception ” for a livelihood. Benj.
F. Coulter—the acknowledged editor of the
“Echo”—attempts to reply to us by “the
lex talionis, in roundly, flatly, and unequivo
cally ” denying all we have asserted as regards
his private character; and he further states
that we once had “a partner, a bosom friend
and boon companion, who was caught stealing
second-hand clothes, and who was incarcerated
in the penitentiary in Mississippi.” This will
certainly surprise the good people of Holly
Springs, Miss., among whom we lived several
years. But, let the truth be told : A young
man, by the name of Stafford, was associated
with us at Holly Springs, a portion of the
years 1845 and 1846, in the publication of a
newspaper. During that time, we never knew
him guilty of a dishonorable act. Some time
in the year 1847, nearly a year after our part
nership had closed, ho was found guilty of
stealing a small sum of money, and imprisoned
in the penitentiary. A similar destiny awaits
the low, groveling, ungrateful, false-hearted
eats-paw, the sclf-conceited Coulter, if he
does not pay for a certain horse which he sold
about the time he left Des Arc. The widow
of the deceased owner of the property has
written here for the money, and if this wretch,
who is a disgrace to the human species, has
not made full amends for the light-fingered
transaction, it is high time for him to attend
to the matter.
We can prove all we have published about
the “Echo man,” by living oral testimony,
and by the written evidence of the dead. The
books of a deceased physician shows the bal
ance of a debt which is still due, and the item
for which the charge was made. * * * *
There are “things in the shape of men”
who occasionally mingle with decent society,
and are kept for a few months, or years, from
becoming a known disgrace to their species;
but “ the dog will return to his vomit, and the
sow to her wallow.” During the time this
“ thing ” was an eleemosynary in our employ
ment, we exerted our ability to restore him to
health, to character, and to decent respecta
bility. How far we succeeded in the latter
particular, let his deep-dyed, viperous slanders
and basely vulgar assaults upon us, speak for
themselves. Such creatures are the slime and
filth of creation—well suited to the foul pur
pose of performing the dirty work and enjoy
ing the patronage of any man, or any clique
of men, who live only to abuse, villify, falsify,
traduce, and scandalize, those who have lifted
them from their sunken, groveling position,
and strove to place their feet in the path to
reputation and good conduct.
We distinctly and emphatically reiterate—
the evidence is at hand, .to prove all that we
have charged against this B. F. Coulter. We
hereby denounce him as a mendacious libeler
and infamous scoundrel, and call upon the sup
porters of his vehicle of vituperation and low
bred slang, denominated the “ Brownsville
Eeho,” as well as all those connected with the
concern, to rid themselves of their contami
nating contact with its degraded editor,—or
the people of Prairie county will have a right,
as it will be their duty, to demand who are
sustaining such a lump of uncharncled putre
[ faction, such a defamatory organ and mouth
: Plece, under the shadow of their court-house.
There is, really, no disgrace in being de
famed by this fellow Coulter. If he has
uttered a solitary truth in reference to the
editor of the Citizen, we have not been able
*° see it. We defy all such animals to injure
°ur reputation in the minds of those who know
I us ; and those who may not, are requested to
take a glimpse at the reptile Coulter’s face,
Which will be sufficient to satisfy them that
probity and purity cannot emanate from so
cerrup* a fountain.
We refer the reader to the card of Mr.
Alex. Leuders, late of Memphis. He tenders
his services to this community in the different
branches of painting, etc. ; and those who have
seen specimens 6f his workmanship pronounce
him a good artist. He Intends to locate per
manently among us.

to be construed into any approbation of
the trade.

FURTHER FROM EUROPE.
War Feeling in Germany—Federal Diet
in Council—New Levies in Austria—
A ■Million of Men in Arms—Immense
Levies in France—New Army of the
North—Sixty War Vessels in the Le
vant—Garibaldi in Lombardy.
St. John’s, N. F.. June 9.—The war
news by the Arago is the most exciting yet
received, and apprehensions are now again
renewed that all Europe will soon become
invrtlvprl in conflict.
In Southern Germany, particularly Ba
varia, Wurtemburg, Baden, and other
States with Austrian sympbathies, the war
feeling is very strong. Volunteers are
iaily offering for the Austrian army, and
;be whole country was in a slate of feverish
excitement.
The war feeling in the Federal Diet,
sitting at Frankfort, was also day by day
growing stronger. The minor German
States were unanimous in favor of at once
entering the field.
ENORMOUS ARMAMENTS IN AUSTRIA.
Letters from Vienna state that the most
enormous armaments are being fitted out
in all the Provinces of the Empire, and
that Austria would soon have nearly a
million of men under arms.
IMMENSE LEVIES IN FRANCE —A
NEW “ ARMY OF THE NORTH” TO
BE FORMED.
A new levy of one hundred and fifty
thousand men had been ordered, and the
organization of a new ‘‘Army of the
North,” for the defence of the Northern
and Northeastern frontier in case of attack
by Germany, was in contemplation.
In the meantime the same activity pre
vailed in the French navy as in the army.
Sixty French vessels of war are now
cruising in the waters of the Adriatic and
the Levant.
The blockade of the Austrian ports was
so strict that all business therein, however
small, had ceased, and the Austrian fleet
had become entirely useless.
ANOTHER BATTLE.
By the way of Berne, Switzerland, ad
vices from the seat of war are to the 28th.
There had been serious fighting along the
base of the Alps; the whole country of
Upper Lombardy was in a state of revo

and headed by Garibaldi, who, gathering
new forces as he advanced, made his ap
pearance before Como on the 26th, with
a well appointed army of 10,000 to 15,000
men. The city was defended by a garri
son of about 7,000 men, which, though
much inferior in number to the attacking
party, was better organized, and had the
advantage of position. For three hours
and upwards the battle raged, but the
Austrians were at last completely over
powered and driven out at the point of the
bayonet.
