We publish the following by request.
Rev. J. W. Moore—Siroolarlv Inter
estino.—The name of Rev. J. W. Moore ti
familiar to many in Arkansas as tha title o:
a very considerable opponent of the presen
Bibte Revision movement. Those who havt
read his articles against Revision will be as
tonished to hear that even J. W. Moor*
sometimes finds himself under tbe dire neces
sity of turning Revisionist. Of this however
we find no fault: wefcxpcct the time wHl soon—
verj’ soon arrive when every intelligent and
pious man wjllbo, a Revisionist. To those
who become Revisionists at once it'is well; to
those who are tardy in coming over, we have
only to aflord them rope, time and opportuni
ty and execution will follow.
The hanging of Mr. Moore may be seen in
“The Presbyterian Sentinel,” of Memphis,
'June 30th. Mr. Moore occupies five columns
with an article beaded, “Rertiarks on tbe
Mode of Christian Baptism.” In this article,
to sustain hie views on the Mode of Baptism,
he turns Revisionist 1
Mr. Moore says, that Id Acts 8: 38, ess
translated into, simply means to ! That Philip
and the Eunuch went down to the water I—
“Out of” the water, he would translate “from”
the water!
He also finds that through lapse of time,
that words sometimes lose their original mean
ings and take new ones. He cites “ prevent.”
“I prevented the dawning of the morning.”
In such instances be says it will not do to de
pend on the original meanings of such ebang
able words I
Now, in all soberness we ask, if this is not
the very position which Revisionists have oc
cupied from the beginning and which they
occupy and advocate to-day? It surely is,
and we are pleased to know that if the Rev.
Mr. Moore is wrong on the mode of Baptism,
that his wrong has this good resulting from
it—he is compelled to cease for the time his
hostility to Revision and to become a Revi
sionist himself!
Though he is far advanced in life, and we
doubtless could profitably sit at his feet as a
student for years, yet we venture to congratu
late him on bis conversion to the Revision en
terprise even at this late day of his life’s jour
ney. Should be feet disposed to write any
more on the subject of Revision, our columns
arc at his service, subject to the same rules as
our other correspondents.
The New Eldorado.
A letter received from tbe editor of the
Arizonian, says (he San Antonio Herald,
by a gentleman in this city, brings the
following intelligence :
Toscow. June 1 8.
Late intelligence but adds to the already
more than encouraging reports thus far re
ceived, and nearly every one in this sec
tion is preparing to go to the new Eldo
rado.
Thp mineea Hi*rrnv#>rpfl arc* in fhp
vicinity of the Rio Membres, about half
way botween this place (Tuscon) and the
Mesailla Valley; they are north of the
mail road near the Gila river. As the
country is prospected, uew mines are
found in different directions, and there is
no doubt of the existence of a vast extent
of mining country and room for thousands
of working men.
The pay is verry rich, and as high as
$200 have been taken out in a day.
1 think the average yield is from $8 to
$24 per day. Every one is going—and
when the news reaches California, and
parts of your State, the rush will be very
great.
There is a great want of picks, shovels,
iron pans and sheet iron; there are none
in this market, or at Messilla, or at El
Paso.
Old California miners say the new
mines equal anything ever found in that
.vState.
The above extract doubtless is reliable,
as it is addressed to a gentleman of high
standing in this city. The editor men
tions in his letter that he has been com
pelled to suspend his paper in consequence
of the rush of all hands to the mines.—
Other letters addressed to merchants in
this city convince us that there is no hum
bug about the discovery; besides, we have
seen a bag of the pure dust, said to con
tain $300, which was sent to one of our
mercantile houses — everybody in Ari
zona is going to the diggings, and when
these flattering accounts reach New Or
leans and the large cities in the Northern
States, there will doubtless be a great rush
of miners.

fry A steamboat case was recently tried in
theu. 9. Court of Admiralty, in New York.
The suit was against the steamboat Water
Witch, for the recovery of three penalties of
$500 each, for violations of acts of Congress
known as •‘the protection for passengers’’act.
This act provides that any steamboat carrying
passengers without having two life-boats, a
certain number of water buckets and fire axes,
shall forfeit and pay for each trip the sum of
$500, half to go to the informer, and the other
half to the United States. The steamboat in
question claimed to be a ferry-boat, and carried
goods solely in that capacity. The Enquirer
says: ‘‘The district attorney of the United
States, in his argument in opening the case,
contended that the boat was liable for the pen
alty every trip she made with passengers, and
that it was the merest nonsense to set up that
she was a ferry-boat, when there was the ad
mission in thepleadingthatbetween Elizabeth
port and New York she made two stopping
places—one within the limits of the State, and
the other in the State of New Jersey. The
learned district attorney also said he did not
claim that the boat was liable for the penalty
for not having the requisite number of buck
ets or axes, or for having none of the appli
ances for saving life, provided she lay quietly
at the wharf ; but the very day or hour her
owners undertook to carry passengers without
having provided the boats, floats, life-preser
vers, buckets or -fire axes, which the act of
Congress requires, then the boat becomes lia
ble for the penalty for every trip in which
they should undertake to carry passengers —
The defense admitted the facti alleged in the
complaint, but he contended that boats of the
defendants, or the respondents, were not pas
senger boats within the meaning of the act of
Congress, but mere ferry boats, and therefore
not liable to the penalties claimed by the Gov
ernment. The judge said that he would not,
at the present state of controversy, give an
opinion of the main point, but be certainly did
conceive that a steamboat carrying passengers
and freight from a port in one State to a port
in another State, and calling at intermediate
nlaces to take in emods and Daasemrers. could
not be regarded as a mere ferry boat.”
Johnson Condemned by Douglas.
In his fatnou3 article, published in Har
per's Magazine, Mr. Douglas made the
following observation in the first column
on the second page of that remarkable
treatise on Popular Sovereignty:
“ It is difficult to conceive how any per
son who believes that the Constitution con
fers the right of protection in the enjoy
ment of slave property in the Territories,
regardless of the wishes of the people and
of the action of the Territorial Legisla
ture. can satisfy his conscience and his oath
of fidelity to the Constitution in withdraw
ing such Congressional legislation as may
be essential to the enjoyment of such right
under the Constitution. Under this view
of the subject it is impossible to resist the
conclusion that, if the Constitution does
establish slavery in the Territories beyond
the power of the people to control it by
law, it is the imperative duty of Congress
to supply all the legislation necessary to its
protection.”
Mr. Douglas clearly intimates in the
foregoing that any man who believes that
the Constitution confers the right to hold
slates in the Territories does violence to
his conscience and breaks his oath of fidel
ity to the Constitution, if he withholds such
Congressional legislation as may be ne
cessary to secure the perfect enjoyment of
that right.
It seems from the following extract from
a letter written by Governor Johnson on
May 28tb, 1860, a year after having read
Mr. Douglas’ article, and wheu he bad a
full knowledge of the Douglas platform,
that Gov. J.’s position on the question is
precisely that to which Mr. Douglas’
charge of faithlessness to the oath of fidel
ity to the Constitution applies with full
vigor and effect. The following is the ex
tract to-which we reier:
“ 1 believe that il is the right of the
South to demand, and the duty of Con
gress to extend, protection to persons and
properly of every kind, (including slave
ry,) in the Territories during their territo
rial state. This is no new opinion. I ad
vocated the doctrine as far back as 1848,
in the Senate of the United States. If
you have any curiosity to see the argu
ment, I refer you to mv speech on the Or
egon Bill, delivered 7th July of that year,
and reported in the Congressional Globe.
How unjust, therefore, are tbe insinuations
with which you intersperse and interlard
your editorial comments, that all are in fa
vor of • Squatter Sovereignly ’ who happen
not to agree with the seceders from the
Charleston Convention ! 1 repel the in
sinuation so far as it may be intended to
apply to me, come from what quarter it
may, and plead my own record in vindica
tion.
“ But this is not the question now before
the Democratic party of the South. The
questiou is, not whether we have the right
to demand, but whether, under the circum
stances, we ought to demand Congression
al intervention for the protection of slavery
in the Territories ? I think we ought not,
and the object of my Macon letter was to
vindicate that opinion.”
Here Gov. Johnson prides himself on
the fact that for years—“ as far back as
1848 ’’—he advocated tbe right of tbe
South to demand, and the duty of Con
gress to extend protection to persons and
property of every kind, (including slave
ry) in the Territories, and yet, although
Mr. Douglas finds it difficult to conceive
how he can satisfy his conscience and his
oath of fidelity to tbe Constitution, Gov.
Johnson thinks that he ought not to de
mand protection for the right of the Con
stitutionality of which he has no doubt,
and which he advocated with so much zeal.
| We leave the two standard-beaTers of
the Front Street Theatre Democracy to
settle this little matter of conscience, and
the obligation of an oath, between them*
selves, and simply confine ourselves to
pointing out, for the information of the
people, the remarkable discrepancy be
tween their positions on fAe question of the
day. -[Washington Constitution.
Thf Africans at K'et West.—The
Wire Grass (Georgia) Reporter starts the
following question regarding these ne
groes. to-wit:
••Whether the general government has
any legal right to introduce negroes from
Africa into any of the States whose laws
forbid suph introduction without qualifica
tion; and if they do, whether State au
thorities have not the legal right to dispose
of them as provided by their ststutes, the
same as if introduced by nn individual?’
The Reporter says: “Our opinion is that
the argument is decidedly on the part of
the State. It has been ruled in New York
that if slaves are carried there, only for
transportation, they become free. If this
is sound doctrine, it is also sound doctrine
that if a free negro is introduced into
Florida, no odd* by whom, from the mo
ment of his or her introduction, he or she
becomes liable to all the laws and regula
tions of the Stale enacted in that behalf.”
A Card.
To the Commissioned Officers of the 2nd
Brigade, Arbansas Militia:

dier General of the 2d Brigade, and to fill
the same an election has been ordered to be
holden on Saturday, 21st July.
At the solicitation of many friends, I have

In presenting my name to you for your sup
port I would state that 1 have been connected
with military aflairs from my youth, and have
seen some actual military service, and
have filled nearly all the positions below the
one I now aapire to.
Should it be your will and pleasure to elect
me your Brigadier General of this Brigade, I
will discharge the duties of the office with be
coming dignity and efficiency, and shall ever
feel under obligations for your support.
Trusting that I will be remembered at the
ballot-box, as all candidates wish to be,
I remain, Very truly your ob’t serv’t.
