0^'i'here is much difficulty attending the
getting up of interesting locals, there is no
excitement, no theft, no murder, no nothing,
not even a weddin’. Won't somebody take

somebody's horse to run away, kick somebody,
or do something to create an excitement?
Anything like the above would be thankfully
' received and duly noted, and ye locals felici

S**jv.„The supper given by the Ladies of Dos
Are, on last-Tuesday evening, was like
things to which they lend their aid, a perfect
success, a grand jubilee, a time of rejoicing.
We were there, and it made our heart glad to
see so many bright faces, and to hear so man/
voices all lend their aid. to “make time go by
on golden wings." “Rejoice yotwg man in
the days of thy youth.” was a command liter
ally obeyed by ali, while “eat, drink and be
merry,” wa« acceptable to not a few.- 1 he at
tendance was large, the aged sire and the
stately matron looked back through the pres
ent to past youth and enjoyment. The young
gallant and bashful maiden, looked with lov
ing eyes what trembling hearts and lips dared
not speak, while the chief delight of many, was
the bountifully spread table, on whose white
surface rose huge pillars of cake, nestbng be
hind and around which, rosy cheeked fruit
and delicately tipted pandies vied with each
other, which should ho the most admired. Jt
was a time in which hearts were made glad;
and much realized for the benefit of an object
altogether worthy. The clear profits we learn
is about. $i75.

h'Ji'or Dca Arc Cilia n :
Sir—A few days ago I received a letter from
a friend in the city of Little Rock, in which
the writer informed me that Judg# Compton,
of Dallas county, would, if elected, accept the
position as a member of the Supreme Court ol
the State. It was, indeed, very gratifying to
me to learn this fact, nor do 1 believe it will
be less gratifying to most, if not all of your
readers. It is a position the judge held at the
out-hreak of our civil war, and continued to
hold during the struggle up to the surrender;
and which, he filled with distinction to him
self, and honor to the State. Thau Judge
Compton, there is no man 1 would sooner see
outhe Supreme bench. He is eminently qual
ified to fill the position, and no man deserves
more at the hands of our people. It is gene
rally understood, I believe, that at the ensu
trig August election, it will devolve upon the
voters of the State, to elect all the members ol
the Supreme Court—three in number—and it
is our duty as well as our privilege to select
for that dignified and responsible office, men
of unblemished reputation, and undoubted le
gal ability. Matters of great public concern
—of weighty import—wilt come before this
body to be adjudicated ; and, from whose de
cision, in many, if not most cases, there is no
appeal. Should we not then, as men and pa
triots, Jay aside ail party distinctions, all pet
ty differences of opinion, all our partialities
and prejudices—forget the past—and look for
the future to the good of our State; and
weigh well, all matters fraught with such vi
tal public interest. Let it not be said, if evil
must come, that we brought it upon ourselves,
by placing incompetent and injudicious men
at the head of affairs. We sboubl select for
ail offices to be filled by tiie people, men of
moderation and prudence, of strict integrity,
ana soDor tnougnt; at tne same time, we
should not lose sight, of the very important
qualification—ability.
The great questions about which this gi- j
gantic struggle was begun and carried on for
a little over four eventful years, is now settled.
Arms were appealed to, and the fortunes of
war decided against us. Now, it behooves us.
having accepted the issue, to act in good faith,
and do all we can, compatible with honor and |
honesty, to prove to the general government j
that we hold our promises sacred, and that we
intend by every honest effort to bring about
that condition of things most conducive to the
best interest of every section of our poor dis
tracted country. To do this, we must cdect
good and true men—men who will act with
prudence and discretion—will do their duty,
their whole duty with honesty and fidelity.
We can then, with confidence, leave the result
in the hands of an aiiwise and just God,

Washington, June 25.
A. W. Randall, Assistant Postmaster Gen
era!, Senators Doolittle and Cowan and oth
ers. forming the executive Committee of the
National Union Club of this city, have issued
a call for a National Union Convention of at
least two delegate! from each Congressional
District of all the States, and two from each
Territory, two from the District of Columbia,
and four delegates at. large from each State,
to be held at Philadelphia, on the second
I Thursday in August. Such delegates will be
i chosen by the eieetors of the several States
who sustain the Administration in ma nUin*
ing unbroken tUnion of the States under
ihe Constitution which *urlathers estMo.is.ied
and who agree in certain propositions 1,1 *tt"

j clusively, subject only to the Constitution oi
the United States ps essential to the balance
of power on which the perfection and endur
ance of our political fabric depend.-: as the
overthrow of that system and the centraliza
tion of power in Congress would b? a revolu
tion dangerous to a republican government
avid destructive of liberty.
The bolding of the Convention is endorsed
■by Senators Dixon, Hendricks, Norton and
Nesmith.
In the Senate Mr. Pollard otfered a resolu
tion instructing the Committee on the Public
Buildings aitd Grounds to inquire whether a
tract of about three hundred uores, adjoining
or very near tlic city l’t Washington, can be
obtained, at a veascnoble price, tor a public
park and a Bite for a rrcsiacctiai mansion,
which was passed.
The tax bill was then discussed and passed
Mr. Low ell, of Vermont, from the Commit
tee on Ways and Means reported the Tariff
i bill, which was ordered <o be printed, and
made the special oi uer oi Thursday next. A
resolution was adopted increasing the salaries
of certain classes of employees of the House
25 per cent,
The Ho,use refused to entertain ^the intro
duction of a resolution calling for the Presi
dent to inform the House what steps, if any,
had been taken to interpose the good offices
of the United Slaty Government, with Great
Britain in behalf of the Fenians recently cap
tured in Canada.
The Tariff bill will probably consume in its
consideration the whole week, owing to its
length. to

FonKio.it.—The London Times, of the loth,
say* the diplomatic rupture with Prussia is
now complete. The Austram Minister ha=
demanded his passports, and was to have left
that day. Such a consummation was to be
expected after the correspondent that passed
between the two Governments during the last
few days. The dispatch of Count Bismavk
went beyond every snob document la discour
teous invectives and provocations^, and it lias
been replied to by Count Mensikoir, in a more
guarded style, but in language which shows
offended pride. .
The Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs
makes a solemn protest against the proceed
i ings in Holstein and the statements by which
lit has been attempted to justify them. He
i declines all responsibility for the conse
quences, and declares that for months Prussia
bas taken up a position which endangered the
former settlement. In conclusion, Count
MensilkotF reserves to the Imperial Govern
ment the right to talk such steps as may be
found necessary, since nothing remains for
; Austria but to defend her honor and guard
' ber rights from contempt.
Como, the scone ofhis former brilliant exploits,
is announced.
A letter from Napoleon to his former minis
ter, was read on the 12fh. lie says that had
the conference met, France would haverepu- 1
diated all idea of territorial aggrandizement
so long as the European equilibrium remains
undisturbed, much preferring a good under
standing with her neighbors to any territorial !
acquisition, France would have devised for
the German Confederation a more worthy
position, for Prussia better geographical boun
daries, and for Austria the maintenance of her
great position in Europe, after the cessation
of Venetia and the Italian exchange for terri
torial compensation, And though the Confer
ence has failed, France and her Emperor think
she will not have to draw the sword, hut will
continue to observe an attitude of neutrality.
The letter war received with loud cheers by
the members, and, on the motion of M. Roulier,
the Chamber, by a large majority, decided
against entering upon debate on the atl'airs of
Germany and Italy.
The Fenian gathering in Jones’ Wood yester
day was composed of ten thousand persons.
Stevens delivered an address, in which lie
i handled the leaders in the Canadian affair
severely, closing his address by advising his
countrymen to do their duty to their adopted
country, and said the work before them was to
repair the injuries done to Ireland by the late
fiasco.

I present myself before you as a candidate
for tlie office of State Treasurer, and respect
fully solicit your support. To many of you i
am known porsonally, and to many, not
unfavorably I trust, by reputation. Before
the war, 1 was Register of the Rand Office at
Fayetteville, and during the war, was elected
to the office which I now seek. With what
ability and faithfulness I filled these respec
tive offices, it is not for me to say, hut may 1
not believe that my conduct in tlie premises
was such as to havo merited the good opinion
of those conversant therewith?
My father moved to Washington county
when t was but a child; the State has^ been
my homo ever since; all the interests 1 have
arc identified with her’s and yours. No one
deplores her present condition more than l do;
nor will I yield to any one, whether in office
or out of it, in the sincerity of my efforts to
bring about that harmony of action and kind
ness of feeling among our citizens which arc
necessary to restore iter to her tormer .peace,
! prosperity and happiness. One thing is eer
i tain, that to put her back where she was be
