Dusty Cotton . - The j\tw Orleans
Price Current of the 21th ult., says?
“ We notice much complaint of the quali
ty of the new receipts, as they are found
to embrace an unusually large proportion
of leafy and dusty cotton for so early a
period of the season. The dusty parcels,
as we have already repeatedly stated, are
PYrepdlnfrlv difficult nf snip ns mnsf nr.
ders received are imperative for their re
jection. Under these circumstances they
must accumulate, and if sold at all it must
he at a much wider difference in price
than lias hitherto prevailed.
The remainder of the old crop, of a
similar character (some 7000 bales) still
weighs upon the market without demand,
und with prices entirely nominal.”

Douglas in California.—The Little
Giant is loathed and despised by the De
mocracy of the South, and the recent elec
tion in California shows that he has no
strength in that young and prosperous
State. Tne friends of the Administration
have abundant cause to congratulate them
selves on the result, for it is evidently an
endorsement of Mr. Buchanan and a swing
ing rebuke to Mr. Douglas. McKibben,
Douglas’ confederate in treason, has been
repudiated by the Democracy of Califor
nia. Mr. Latham, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, who has been elected
by an overwhelming majority, sustained
Mr. Buchanan and defended his Admin
istration on every stump. Senator Gwin,
who has stood by the President in his l,c
compton war, and who has opposed Doug
las. has been sustained by the Democracy
of California. Wo repeat that the result
of the recent election in that State is most
gratifying to the friends of the Adminis
tration and the Democratic party through
out the Union. Douglas will soon take
his place with Van Buren and the little
gang of traitors who, for vile, selfish pur
poses, have betrayed the party that
wanned them into life.— [Mem. Ava.

| Little Rock True Dpmocrat.—
i This worried and spiteful sheet makes a
j “ splutter nnd splurge ” in its issue of the
5th inst., in reference to a reply of ours
i to its editor on the 21st ult. We are led
I to exclaim,
1 “ O hateful error, melancholy’s child !
; Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men
I The things that are not ?”
If a statement of facts, well known as
sucli hy even Dick Johnson, can be con
j stated into blackgardism, then we plead
guilty to the charge. We were attacked
by the True Democrat and the manner ol
our retort seems to have stirred up the
bile or the ‘‘would-be Dictator” whe
writes for that paper either in person oi
by deputy. Speaking of us he says :
“The truth Is that this same roan could
have been had to abuse Hindman, as he now
i abuses us, but we concluded long ago that it
I did not mak" a bit of difference who or what
I ho was for or against.’•
Let any one examine the files of the
; True Democrat nnd they will find that
j Dick lias often spoken in praise of our
course politically and otherwise; but now
a change has come over his mind. We
happened once upon a time to handle him
in our humble way for his opposition to
agricultural societies, nnd even during the
late session of lire legislature a number o(
sturdy farmers, who were members of that
body, remembered Dick's course, and re
fused to listen to honeyed words, when he
attempted to influence them. Those who
know us best, know how to appreciate the
assertion that we “could have been had
to abuse Hindman,” or any other man.
Our notions of right or wrong have
never yet been influenced by “ filthy
lucre,” or offers of public printing, or
government pap, and vve presume no one
knows that fact better than Dick Johnson.
We have never sold our "birthright for a
mess of pottage,” or inherited lands and
negroes that fell to our lot from the scat
tered fragments of a broken Bank. What
vve possess, vve dare to say vve have ob
tained honestly—by labor, toil and indus
try. As to decency, that is an article that
must have been blotted from Dick’s vocab
ulary long since, in his intercourse with
his brethren of the press—for it is univer
sally conceded that to differ with him, is a
crime in his estimation not to be forgiven.
Finally he who claims for himself "all the
decency, all the respectability and all the
honor” had better look within for lie may
find that he will compare only with the
whitened sepulchre.
RKS“ We clip the following articles from
the " Old-Line Democrat" of the 29th ult.
Mail facilities from Little Hock to Des
Arc. arc “getting no better fast.” The
" Old-Lint Democrat" of the above date
was just seven hays three hours and
twenty-two minutes in coming to hand from
Little Hock, a distance of fifty miles. The
route via. Batesville seems to he preferred,
but vve don't know why ?
The Bank Questions.—We lmvc not
been prepared to give our readers such
information in regard to the various ques
tions connected with the old Banks ol Ar
kansas. as their importance demanded.
Nor have vve been prepared to fully re
view the late articles of the True Democrat
in relation thereto; hut we are happy to
say that vve have succeeded in obtaining
«ll 11 ii i nohussnrv /Inr-ii nrpnf.v thnt will »-> n n ) 11 n
its to become thoroughly acquainted with
their intricate details, and promise that
in due season, we will make such state
ments as will present the Bank affairs of
the Slate in a plain and intelligahle man
ner to the people. Of all the publicaflairs
of the State, those connected with the Banks
are most important and least understood.
Cot.. II. L. BisCoe.—We are fully pre
pared to vindicate this gentleman as well
as the other four Trustees of the Real
Estate Bank, against the charges and in
sinuations of the True Democrat, and will
do so—not because he happens to be the
father-in-law of Col. Hindman, but be
cause he is a citizen of Arkansas, and en
titled to the protection of the press when
ever unjustly assailed in his character of
public officer, unless he thinks proper to
vindicate himself though the columns of
the papers published in his own city.
Political Item.—Col. Carroll, the
True Democrat's candidate for Congress,
sprung the “slave trade" question on Col.
Hindman in the discussion at Clarksville
the other day. Col. Carroll says he is
opposed to repealing the laws that now
affix the stigma of piracy on the foreign
trade in negro slaves. Will the Col. or
the True Democrat, his buckcr, give some
intelligent reason for a trade, which is all
j right morally, socially and politically in
the Southern States, becoming piracy, the
highest grade of highway robbery, when
extended beyond the borders of the United
States ?
The question is not, whether or not we
shall adopt the policy of introducing more
negroes among us, but, whether or not
we will longer submit to have an act of
Congress quietly slumber upon the statute
book that unnecessarily and unconstitution
ally degrades the South by stigmatizing a
traffi.' in her recognized property as piracy.
We are for brushing it out, and so wc un
derstand Col. Hindman to be, although he
is opposed to making this question a test
of Democracy.
An Inquiry.—Mr. Editor:—I have
I been a close reader of the True Democrat
for seveial years, aud of late have been
jgiatiiiod at their bold denunciation of the
per diem tukeu by the members of the
Mouse during the recess. The Senate
has been held up as an example for all
future legislatures, for refusing to take
tins money.
It has leaked out lately that the grave
and reverend scignors who composed that
body appropriated three hundred dollars
to pay the doorkeeper for the liquors and
i cigars purchased by him for them during
' the session. It is said that this is an un
questionable fact, and if so, should receive
a scathing rebuke j if it be true it is as ,
|tonishiog that the True Democrat had not|
denounced it. To lake; the peoples mone]
to pay for liquors and cigars in anoutragi
so flagrant as will not be justified. I hopi
you will publish the proceedings on thii
subject with the voles in both houses, ir
' order that we may know the men \vh<
were so recreant to their duty as to nmk<
' the State pay for their indulgence in tha
i worst of vices—drunkenness.
A FARMER.

ceedings In regard to this matter and publtst

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL
Interesting from Jlrizona—Californio
Election News—Broderick and Terri
— Rejiorted Duel with Fatal Conse■
—quences—Painful Rumor from Lowet
California, <S'c.
The California Overland Mail arrived
last night, with San Francisco dates tc
the 12th.
FROM ARIZONA.
R. W. H. Jarvis, Esq., Treasurer of the
Sonora Exploring and Mining Company
Edward Woodman and Edward E. Cross
late editor of the Arizonian, arrived it
this city last evening,direct from Arizona.
Capt. Henry Smith, Superintendent ol
Division No. 3 of the Overland Maii
line, nlso arrived in the same stage from
El Paso, en route for New York. He has
in charge two hundred pounds of silvei
bullion from Arizona, consigned to the
United States Mint, at Philadelphia.—
There is over a ton of silver bullion at El
Paso, awaiting shipment to the States.
1 he Arizona silver mines are doing
well, although greatly annoyed by Indian
depredations — the Apaches continually
plundering the mines and ranches. Col.
Reeve, the commanding officer at Fort
Buchanan, being unable to chastise or
even pursue the Indians.
The news that Col. Fauntleroy had su
perseded Col. Bonneville, as commander
of the Department of New Mexico, caused
great satisfaction throughout Arizona.
Colonel Johnson, Inspector General
United States Army, was on his way tc
Fort Buchanan. It is understood that he
will recommend the abandonment of at
least four military posts in New Mexico,
and that an adequate force of mounted
men be sent to Western Arizona.
Capt. Stone’s surveying party was still
in camp near the Patigonia mine, anxious
ly awaiting intelligence as to future move
ments.
Mr. Mowry had distributed the pres
ents and farming tools to the Pimos and
Maricopas and would soon leave for the
States. Col. A. B. Gray was engaged in
laying off the reservation for the same
tribes. Col. Walker, Indian Agent, had
left Tucson to distribute agricultural im
plements to the Papagos.
Some rich veins of gold quartz had
been discovered on the Santa Cruz river
about twenty-five miles from Fort Buch
annn.
Mr. Cross brings fine specimens of the
silver and silver or?s of Arizona. Hi
will remain at the Planter’ House severa
days.
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Thj: Election.—There can be nc
doubt of the election of the entire Demo
cratic ticket, by decided majorities.
The Broderick and Terry Duel—
Conflicting Reports.—From what fol
lows, it will be seen that a duel took place
on the 12th. between Senator Broderick
and Judge Terry, in which the latter was
wounded—supposed fatally.
The following dispatch, which was tele
graphed to Gilroy, (Cal.) from San Fran
cisco, reports that an interference of the
police prevented a duel between these
parties.
San Francisco, Sept 12., 12m.—There
has been intense excitement for the last
three days, on account of a contemplated
j_it. . . o . ..... r>.. . j • i j t_i ..
IIUU UCIUCCU k.’LU'UUt AU l out I ll/ll Li 11 Vi U
Terry, of the Supreme Court, the latter
being the challenging perty. The fight
was to take place at six o’clock this morn
ing, in San Mateo county, and the parties
proceeded to the field, but were arrested
by the police, before doing any damage.
This arrests the matter for the present,
but it is believed that there are still one or
two affairs of honor contemplated, involv
ing the same parties or their friends, the
cause being the violent personalities of the
past political campaign.
But as an offset to this report, we give
the following contents of a way-bill re
ceived through the Post Office last night
by the mail from California:
Santa Clara, (Cal.) Sept. 12, ’59.—
Duel this morning between Hon. D. C.
Broderick and Judge Terry of the Su
preme Bench.
Broderick shot Terry in the throat—
wound supposed fatal.
H. D. COBB, P. M.
We may nientiun«tbat Judge Terry
emigrated to California from Kentucky,
of which State he was a native, having
been born in Christian county. It will be
recollected that his course in California
drew down upon him the denunciations of
the San Francisco Vigilance Committee ;
and that he made a narrow escape with
his life out of their hands.
[ Siuce the above was in type we learn
from the Fort Smith Times that Broder
ick was killed in a duel by Terry—he
died on the morning of the 16th of Sep
tember.]
From the San Francisco Times.
Lower California—Painful Ru
mor.—Judge Ames, of the San Diego
Herald, has received letters from the
South, he informs us, which contain a
painful rumor. ' It was reported or ru
mored ip San Diego that several Ameri
cans had been seized and thrown into
prison in Lower California, among whom
was Rufus K. Porter, Esq., well known
in this city. He was for several years
connected with the post-office here. For
some two years he has been a resident of
San Rosario, Lower California, from
which place he has written us several let
ters during the past few months.
The reason given for the seizure is that
they had, in common with the adherents
of the Liberal party, given offence to the
Government faction. What gives more
appearance of truth to this painful rumor
is the fact that Mrs. Porter, who had
some important legal matters to attend to
in San Diego, and had been expected
: there for some time, had not arrived, not
t withstanding her presence was required
i several days previous to the sailing of the
steamer. Rumors always grow as they
i travel, and so the report of the imprison
• ment of Mr. Porter and others had
changed to another, that they hod already
been executed. We hope the first rumor
may exceed the truth.although the savage
character of the new Cotmnandante, Men
doza, who supersedes General Castro,
gives room for the most fatal anticipations.
| Marysville, Sept. 10.—Death of
Dr. Cowan.—The news of the death of
| Dr. Wm. D. Cowan—of his body having
been found in the mountains—is terrible
I to his many friends and relatives. The
i details of his unfortunate death we copy
: from the Mariposa Star of Tuesday, 6th
instant:
Dr. Wm. Cowan left Mariposa on Fri
day afternoon, August 26, for the South
Fork of the Merced, in company with
Charles Smithers, intending to spend a
few days at Clark's ranch. About four
miles from Clark’s he was met by a party
who were returning from Walker s river.
He was then on foot and said his horse
! had given out.
Shortly after they found his horse on
the trail, and a short distance from the
place they found his coat, and some papers
scattered about the trail. They also re
marked that there was something strange
in his appearance, but not being person
ally acquainted with him, thought no more
of it till they arrived in town on Monday
evening, when their report caused some
uneasiness, and Matthew Harris was dis
patched in search of him on Wednesday.
Accompanied by Mr. Clark, the search
was carried on until Saturday jasi, wuen
the body was discovered about thirty feet
from the trail, a mile and a half from
Clark's. From appearances it was sup
posed that he had been dead several days.
Dr. C. was an old resident of California,
having come to this State in 1849.
—*---—
Withdrawn.—Col. Carroll who re
cently took the field against Col. Hind
man, we regret to learn, has withdrawn
from the canvass on account of sickness in
his family. Col. C. had won quite an
enviable reputation as an orator during
his short campaign, and was assisting
very much in presenting to the Democ
racy of Arkansas the issues upon which
they are at present divided. We, there
fore, very much regret the necessity that
has called him from the field. All we
ask is that the people mfty have the issues
that now agitate the public mind fairly
and squarely presented to their considera
tion—We have unlimited faith in the
wisdom and justice of their judgment.
—[Old Line Democrat.
ggg“The Washington Star denies that
there is any truth in the report that the
Massachusetts delegation to the Charles
ton Convention are for Douglas. It says :
The story that the delegation for the
State at large to the Charleston Conven
tion, recently chosen by the Massachusetts
State convention, are for Douglas, is neith
er more nor less than an effort to deceive
the public for Mr. D.’s benefit. It is ut
terly untrue. Messrs. Cushing and Davis
are both men of too much sagacity, politi
cal experience and well tried devotion to
the principles of the Democratic party to
run after any pro-abolition platform or
candidates. R. M. T. Hunter and Jeffer
son Davis might as well be calculated on
to become Douglas leaders in the Charles
ton Convention ns the two gentlemen we
name above. When the meeting occurs
at Charleston, it will be found that even
from the States in which the contest with
the Republican party is utterly hopeless,
the delegates almost to a man will “ let”
Mr. Douglas and his platform “ slide” as
being belter suited for the support of Abo
lition Opposition than of the Democracy.
--
A Good One.—We accidentally heard
of a good reply made by Gov. Willard to
Judge Douglas, a few days ago, at Wash
ington. The idea of being President has
taken full possession of the Judge. Turn
ing to Gov. Willard, while dining in com
pany with other gentlemen, he asked the
Governor about his prospects in Indiana.
Willard promptly replied “that the De
mocracy of Indiana had been so much in
terested in the Sickles case that they had
not yet made up their mind about the Pres
idency.”— [Indianapolis Atlas.
The Episcopalians and the Slave
Trade.—At the late Episcopal Conven
tion in New York, a Mr. Jay offered a
petition “to lake steps to stay the growing
evil of the African slave trade, which
hath been reopened, and is now being
prosecuted from the port of New York,
within the limits and jurisdiction of this
diocese,” with a resolution to submit the
same to a commitee to report at the next
Convention. The resolution was prompt
ly, and almost unanimously voted down,
thus showing that the Episcopal Church is
determined to adhere to its well establish
ed policy of non-interference with the
slavery question in every shape.
--
Exile of the Pope.—It is stated by a
correspondent of the New York Courier
des Hints Unis that Pius IX. has aban
doned the project of interfering by force
of arms in the affairs of the Legation, but.
iti revenge, he has manifested afresh and
more energetically than ever, the inten
tion of abandoning Home and accepting
the asylum offered to him in the Balearic
Isles by Spain. France is exerting all
her influence to change the Pope's pur
pose; but without, it is said, the slightest
hope of success. If the astuteness of Na
poelon III. should be insufficient to get rid
of this last and most decisive complication,
we are. on the eve of the most solemn
crisis in the history of Europe.

The St. Louis Evening News on
Douglas and the Republican.—The
St. Louis Evening News, of the 5th inst.,
contains an article in which it expresses
the belief that the election in California
drove the last nail in the political coffin of
Douglas, and remarks that the evident
betrayal of his interests by the .Missouri j
Republican which has heretofore been a !
staunch supporter of Douglas, and its ex
ultation over the triumph of the Adminis
tration, is but what he deserves.—[ Mem
