Candidates for Congress from thi
Second District.—During our Circui'
Court at Brownsville, last week, we had
the pleasure of making the acquaintance
of Dr. James M. Lton, of Arkansas
county. The Doctor delivered an address
at the Court House on Wednesday, an
nouncing himself as a candidate for Con
gress from this, the Second District. The
positions he assumed, and the principles
he enunciated, were in accordance with
the old land-marks of the democratic
party. He also favored the re-opening ol
the African Slave trade—the extension of
territory on the continent and the acquisi
tion of Cuba. The Doctor is a gentle
man of commanding appeurance. fine so
cial qualities, and like all good democrats
in his position, will abide the decision of
a District Convention in nominating a can
didate for Congress.
Col. E. W. Gantt.—This gentleman,
•who is at present the Prosecuting Attorney
an the Sixth Judicial Court, is strongly
urged by his friends os a man in every
respect qualified to represent the Second
District in Congress. A correspondent of
the Old-Lint Democrat, speaks as follows
of the Colonel:
In the able discharge of his duties, as a
nrnapmitinnr for flm naif fit'** vuan>
and upwards, he lias won for himself the
lasting confidence, honor, and respect, of
the people generally, and they wilt not
desert him. Indeed, he is sure of the
nomination from nearly, if not quite, all
the ten counties composing this judicial
circuit. This, you are aware, speaks well
for him; since, at home, where best known,
he will be unanimously supported. But
this is not all. Col. Gantt, I am confident,
will receive the nomination, above any
man, in a large number of counties out
side of this judicial circuit; and as he is
emphatically the rnun, above all others yet
aspiring to the office of Federal Repre
sentative, in this District, I can but feel
coufideut of his obtaining the nomination,
at the Arkadelphia convention, next
Spring. As for Dr. C. B. Mitchel, Col.
Flournoy and others, whose names have
been spoken of in connection with this
office, I certainly think, they stand not the
shadow of a cbauce before the people with
Col. Gantt.

Le vee Contracts on White Riv
er.—By reference to a “ Notice” in our
columns, which we publish gratuitously,
it will be observed that the State Engineer
advertises to let out the constructing of a
levee from near Gregory’s Landing, ex
tending down White river to Upper Sur
rounded Hill. The distance is estimated
at near nineteen miles, and extends across
Bayou Cache, through which, as is well
known, the water from White river rushes
and causes Cache river to overflow.—
This levee will redeem hundreds of thou
sands of acres of the most productive land
in the State. We are pleased to learn
that proper steps have been taken to com
plete this very important levee, but we
are at loss to coujecture why the Stale
Engineer gave so short a notice of the
letting out of the contracts; also, why
Clarendon should have been selected in
preference to Augusta or Des Arc as a
proper place for the Engineer to attend
and receive bids. Des Arc and Augusta
are both nearer the proposed line of levee
ihtn Clarendon.
Tme “Viator” Letters.—During the
Tecent canvass of Col. T. C. Hindman
through the First Congressional District,
* number of spirited and well written
letters were published in the Helena
oicwc-ignis uemocrai over me signature
of “Viator” Col. Hindman's enemies
charged that he was the author of them,
and discoursed largely upou the subject
matter thereof, talked about “proof in
the premises, and made the usual “flour
ish of trumpets,” which has for the past
few months predominated in the upper
story of the friends of the Johnson Dy
aasty. But like all their efforts to injure
CoL Hindman, this too has fallen to the
ground, and it is now proven that VV. L.
Martin, Esq., is the author of the “Via
tox" letters. “The next thing will be
something else” that will be charged upon
Col. Hindman fay those who envy him for
his talents and manly bearing.
Slaves Carrying Guns or other
Weapons.—Slaves are not permitted to
carry weapons in the State of Arkansas—
not even a gun to hunt with. The “ Di
gest of the Statutes,” chspter 162,says:
"Section 50. Any gun or other orten
aive or defensive weapon found in the pos
session of a slave, without having the
written permission of his master to carry
the same, may be seized by any person, i
and upon proof of such seizure before a i
justice of the peace of the county where
the same snail have been made, such gun
or weapon shall be, by the order of such
justice, adjudged and forfeited to the
seizor for his own use, and snsli slave
•hall receive, by the order of such justice,
any number of stripes, not exceeding:
thirty.” s

A Dutiful Son.—The Lmle Rock
Old-Line Democrat of the 17th. says the
J\etc Orleans True Delta, publishes the
following letter from Col. T. C. Hindman,
member of Congress from Arkansas. The
man whose innate sense of filial love and
affection surpasses all other objects, no
matter how imperative their demands, is
the noblest of his species. The following
is the letter; it speaks for itself:
Helena, Nov. 12, 1859.
Thomas C. Peck, Editor of the Old-Line
Democrat—Dear Sir:—I have just heard of
a serious accident to my mother, sister and
three little nieces, near Lamar, Mississippi,
on last Sunday. They were returning in a
carriage from church, and the driver had
stopped to shut a plantation gate, when the
horses started, became alarmed at the scream
ing of the children and run away, breaking
the carriage to atoms. All were considerably
injured, especially my mother, her collar bone
being broken, and she being otherwise badly
hurt. At her advanced ago (or seventy years)
the result may be very serious.
I am her only son, and she is a widow. Du
ty and affection call me to her, and I shall
leave on tbe first steamer.
An improvement in my mother’s condition
will perhaps enable me to to fill tbe few re
maining appointments made for me in East
ern Arkansas. But there is no probability
that I can be at Little Rock on the 24th inst.
I regret this, a9 I was especially anxious to
be there.
. Pl»ase announce the facts in your paper, or
publish this letter, as you may think best.
Your friend truly, T. C. Hindman.
fii&F* Geo. E. Matron, Esq., died at
his residence in Napoleon, on the 29tli
lilt. His disease was pneumonia. The
Planter of the 3d inst. says: "Mr.
Mayson occupied a prominent position in
society, and his sudden demise leaves a
vacuum in tho business portion of the
community which will require lime to All.
He leaves a youthful wife and infant
child and a largo circle of relations and
friends to mourn his loss.’’

Funeral of Major E. G. Eastman.
The Legislature of Tennessee adjourned
over from the 23d to the 25th, in respect
to the memory of the lateE G. Eastmnn,
whose funeral obsequies took place on the
24th. It is represented as one of the
most imposing demonstrations of the kind
ever witnessed in Nashville. The Ma
sonic Fraternity, the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, tho editors and publish
ers and the Typographical Association
formed part of the mournful cortege.
Gen. Jo. Lane in Florida.—The’Tn
dependent,” published at Lake City in
Florida, thus sneaks of tbe rrnllunt nhl
hero who, from all appearances, will be
the next Democratic cundidate for the
Presidency:
The favor which ha3 attended the
mention of Gen. Lane’s name in connec
tion with the Presidency has been a mat
ter of no surprise. It is one of those na
tural results that attend distinguished
ability, adorned with distinguished virtue,
and unmarred by undue ambition. Gen.
Lane’s reputation as a hero and States
man comes not from wire-working politi
cians, who expect to be rewarded with
fat offices for their services; nor from
paid political sheets who hang around the
portals and palatial saloons, eager on eve
ry occasion to gather the glowing crumbs
from some office-seeking aspirant’s table ;
but it flows from an honest and straight
forward course of conduct in the service
of his country. On the battle-field of
Mexico, a hero; in the councils of the
nation—a Statesman.
Uncommitted to any clique, possessing
sterling integrity and moral courage,
sound to the core upon all national ques
tions, we think Gen. Lane is a safe and
competent man for any station that the
people of the nation may call him to fill.
Unlike Judge Douglas, Gen. Lane quietly
moves on in the discharge of his official
duties; or those of private life, among
his fellow-citizens of the Far West, as if
no unusual mention had been made of his
name in the older States, while Mr.
Douglas, not content with the efforts of
his friends, is writing essays and making
stump speeches through the country with
as much zeal as if the Presidential can
vass was actually on hand, and he a can
didate for elector. i

A Foolish Prediction.—Some con- ,
temptible fool, who writes for a pseudo- ,
Democratic paper at Little Rock, which
is mis-named the “True Democrat,” ore
uictstmu trn? HtmrT. C. Htalman,' of
Helena, will run as the opposition candi- '
date for Congress in 1860. We know :
Hindman well. He has always been a '
working Democrat, and when an editor 1
asserts that he( is other than a Democrat ]
of the Jeffersou, Jackson and Polk
school, we conclude that said editor is 1
either knave, fool, Know-Nothing, or a 1
wolf in sheep’s clothing, who associates 1
with Democrats for the purpose of betray- 1
ing them.—[Vicksburg Sun.

A Negro Boy on John Brown.—A
torrespondent of the New York Post says:
I think the following dialogue, which
ictually occurred in Brooklyn to-day, too I
good to he kept private. If you agree 1
with this view make a posting of it. 1
Carman—“Say, little nigger, do you know 1
John Brown?” Negro boy—"No; I know '
Jim Brown, though.” Carman—“I don't 1
mean Jim Browu at all; I mean John 1
Brown, the ooe what's lighting for your 1
race.” Negro boy—“Get out; I never !

Stevens to be Tried in Staunton. 1
—Judge Parker, at the instance of Gov. s
i\ ise, has handed over Stevens, one of the
Harper’s Ferry conspirators, to Mr. Mar- t
in, United States Marshal for the western |
listrict ol Virginia. Unless, therefore, ,
he prisoner, who is severely wounded, ■
ihould die beforehand, the trial will take '
dace before Judge Brockenbrough, in c
Staunton, in May next. The object of the i
ransfer is said to be to compel the atten- c
lauce of certain parties at the North as j
witnesses. The trial will be without ap- j
jeal; as from the peculiar legislation af
fecting the jurisdiction of this federal dis
trict, Judge Toucy has decided that no .
circuit court for the United States can be r
leld therein. Consequently all such cases 1
is chis, in which otherwise an appeal a
would lie to a United Stales circuit court, |
Bust be final.—[Stauuton Spectator. c

HARPER S FERRY RESOLUTIONS.
The following preamble and resolution
were introduced in the Legislature c
Georgia, recently, by Mr. Gibson:
Whereas, The late attempt at Harper'
Ferry in the State of Virginia to excite
portion of the slaves of the South to in
surrection, has produced the highest de
gree of indignation in the minds of th
Southern people against the perpetrator
of that outrage, their aiders and abettor:
and affords just ground to apprehend
renewal of their efforts in other places
And whereas, the action of Gov. Wis
and President Buchanan meets with on
unqualified approbation, we deem it incum
bent upon the members of the Legislator
of the State of Georgia to give the :no:
authoritative expression of their senti
ments. Therefore
Resolved, That we regard the effort t
excite the slaves of the South to a servil
insurrection, with the most intense indig
nation, and trust that the parties to tin
insane and treasonable plot, may met
with the most prompt and signal punish
ment; believing as we do that while
will be meeting out a just retribution fo
their crime, it will exert a wholesome in
fluence in deterring others from counte
nancing similar movements.
Resolved, That the prompt and ener
getic action of Gov. Wise, of Virginia
and of President Buchanan, in suppress
ing the outbrenk at Harper's Ferry, ani
in their efforts to capture the insurgents
evince a degree of manliness and patri
otism, honorable alike to them, and worth]
of our warm admiration.
Resolved, That we pledge the Slate o
Georgia, to uphold and support the Stall
of Virginia, and the President of tin
United States, in the position they havi
assumed, in connection with this unfortu
nate affair, and we earnestly counsel the
utmost vigilance in guarding against the
occurrence of a similar conspiracy, in oui
own borders, or elewhere at the South.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolutions, be transmittec
by the Governor of the State of Georgia
to the Governor and Legislature of Vir
ginia, and to the President of the United
States.
The same was then ordered to be trans
mitted to the Senate without delay.
The Legislature or Tennessee on
the Hari’er's Ferry Affair.—The
following resolutions have been introduced
in the Legislature of Tennessee:
Resolved by the General Assembly ol
the Slate of Tennessee, That we recog
nise in the recent outbreak at Harper's
Ferry, the natural fruits of this treason
able irrepressible conflict doctrine put
forth by the great head of the black re
publican party, and echoed by his subor
dinates ; and that it becomes the impera
tive dulv of national men of all narties
throughout the Union, to announce to the
world their sense of its infamy, and to
unite in crushing out its authors as traitors
to their country and as deadly enemies to
the public peace, the rights of the States,
and the preservation of our republican
institutions.
Resolved, That we record it as the
sense of the Tennessee Legislature that
the declaration of Mr. Seward that a re
spectatable portion of the Southern peo
ple, under the lend of Cassius M. Clay
and Francis P. Blair, will unite with the
black republican party to prevent the ex
tension of slavery, and will eventually
“rise up against slavery,” is a libel upon
the honor and loyalty of the Southern
people, and will but serve to make them
more watchful and exacting of their pub
lic servants in the national councils.
Resolved, That it is the duty of our re
presentatives in Congress to recognise as
enemies to the Union, and especially to
ihe slave Slates, all who in any way fa
vor or affiliate with this sectional black re
publican party,- and that any action on
heir part which favors a co-operation with
plack republicans in organizing the
House, and thus placing the officers and
mportant committees of that body under
heir control, would be false to Hie senti
nents of the people of Tennessee, and an
nsult to their constituents and disgraceful
0 themselves.
Resolveil, That we acknowledge our
tppreciation of the promptness with which
he national administration took steps to
:heck the recent conspiracy before it ob
ained the huge dimensions of a revolu
ion.

A Good Idea.—Col. Simeon Oliver,
senator from DeSota county, in the Mis
lissippi legislature, has introduced a bill
1 to exempt from execution and sale,
ilaves, in cases where the plaintiff's or the
>erson lor whose use the mooey is subject
o be collected, denies the right of property
n slaves.” Such a law, if constitutional
tnd practical in its operations, would be
he very thing to briug the Abolitionists
0 their senses. And how could they
vho deny that man can hold property in
nan, object to its effects?—[Memphis

8£aS“ The London Times says that
Prussia is certainly arming. She is pre
taring an arsenal of four hundred rifle
teel guns loading at the breach. Her
irmy consists of one hundred and fifty
housand men in active service and the
var reserve consists of one hundred and
ifty thousand men. She has, besides, a
ifle corps of ten thousand men, whose
ime of service is from twelve to fifteeu
■ears.
Porter’s Spirit ot the Times annouti
es that Col. Colt has invented a revolving
hot-gun. The Spirit says:
Upon a late trial of this valuable gun ,
t a distance of thirty yards, it put 175
-ullets in a circle of 12 inches diameter,
enetrating 75 sheets of ordinary brown
aper; the shot used being No. 6 shot; 1$
unees and 2 drachms of powder to each
harge. The gun is a five shooter, and
1 finished in fine style. The cartridges
re manufactured to suit the gun, aud are
mpervious to the effects of water or damp
less.

State Pair at Holly Springs Mississippi.
-At the late State fair held at Jacksoo, it was
esolved to hold the next fair at Holly Springs,
he next Southern Planters’ convention will
Iso be held at Holly Springs in 1860. The
lerald thinks there will be at the lowest esti
i»te, ten thousand persons in attendance.
The Purchase of Mount Vernon.—
, The Philadelphia Press says. “An item
C from an Eastern paper found its way, ac
cidentally, into our news columns a day
or two since, setting forth that in conse
5 qtfence of the failure of Mr. John A.
‘ Washington, the proprietor of Mount
■ Vernon, the purchase money already paid
■ for the estate was likely to be lost, as
- Mr. W., being involved, could not give a
3 title. Such is by no means the case.—
. The contract, and all the arrangements
1 between the ladies of the Mount Vernon
> Association and Mr. Washington, are
5 such that neither his failure nor any judg
r inents that may result therefrom can in
• any way affect the title to the Mount Vcr
‘ non estate. We are glad to learn, inore
1 over, that very nearly a sufficient amount
• to complete the purchase has been realiz
ed ; but it is intended to make the fund
sufficient to put the whole estate in re
3 pair, and for this purpose the ladies of
• the Association are now actively prosecu
8 ling their collections, preferring to perfect
1 the whole plan by their own efforts, rather
• than to ask, as they well might do, the
1 aid of Congress."

Congress Statistics.—Some pains
- taking cotemporaries of ours have been
analyizing the forthcoming Congress, and
- have come to the following conclusions,
, which may interest the curious in such
- matters. There are nine members of the
1 next House of Representatives whose
, seats will be contested. 115 of the 237
• members elect were also members of the
r last Congress. Cobb, of Alabama, is the
member who has been consecutively elect
f oftenest. Of Smiths (mirable diclu!) the
< new Congress can only boast one. There
i are four by the name of Davis, three
i Washburns, all brothers, and a large num
ber of instances of the same being owned
: by two members.

Leree Contracts to let on White
River, lu the Batesville District.!
| T HAVE just completed a thorough survey I
X ot toe route upon wuicn to construct a very
important levee, commencing on tha East side
of White river, near Gregory’s landing and
extending down White river for a distance of
nineteen and a half miles to upper Surrounded
Hill; and am ready to let out contracts for the
construction of said levee. The whole cost of
constructing this levee Is, by my survey and
calculations, estimated to amount to one hun
dred and twenty-nine thousand, six hundred
and nine dollars and sixty cents. The work
will be let to different contractors in limited
quantities so that it may be contracted as
early as possible.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the
bth, 6th and 7th days of December. A. D.
1859, I will be in Clarendon, in Monroe
county, Arkansas, for the purpose of letting
out this work, and should it not all be let
out during that time, for the constructing of
the residue of the work, persons who shall de
sire to obtain contracts, after the time stated,
will apply to the Governor of the State of Ar
kansas, at Little Rock. The price that will
be allowed for constructing the levee is fixed
at twenty cents per cubic yard in woodland,
and fifteen cents per cubic yard in cleared land,
payable as the law prescribes, in specie or in
land certificates with which any of the Swamp
and Overflow lands in the Batesville District
may be purchased at fifty cents per acre if
more than six miles from a navigable stream,
and seventy-five cents per acre if within six
miles of a navigable stream.

house door in the town of Brownsville, on the
first Monday In January, 1860,
the following lands, to-wit: The S E quarter,
the N E quarter, and the W half of the S W
quarter of section nine; also, the estate in
terest in lots Nos. 1, 2, 7, 11, and 14, of the

range eight west; said lands are situated six
miles south of Bronwsville and 2£ miles south
of the railroad which is now in the course of
construction. The principal portion of the

high, rolling prairie. There is no tract of land
in the Prairie country that combines more ad
vantages for a stock farm, as it is convenient
to the finest winter and summer range. There
is about sixty acres of cleared land on the
premises, and a good double log house, and
other necessary out-buildings. Persons de
siring any information in relation to said land
I would refer them to Judge Reynolds, at Ham
