Charm Restaurant.—This establishment
has beer, disposed of by Mr. Tarkintou, and
passed into the hands of Win. Ford. The
Champagne dispensed yesterday was A, No. 1.
as several witnesses can testify. The stock
of Liquors just received exhibit the best
brands, and have been selected with care.—
Our friend, Jack Matthews, presides at the

tention.
R. C. Me Car ley & Co., are in receipt
of their Fail and Winter Goods, and maintain
strongly end forcibly that their House is the

njjS"Memphis has two hundred and forty
three licensed tippling houses ; Des Arc has
seven tippling houses. Two out of the seven,
eays a certain meddlesome individual, hadn't
orter sell “bad whisky” to negroes. That
chap had better look out, lie might have to
prove his “'strong thinking.”
Great Public Sai k ok Des Arc Property.
Read the advertisement of the sale of Des Arc
Property on the 29th October. This is a fine
opportunity to invest.
We learn that Win. Owen, the horse
thief, who was arrested here on the Oth inst.
and taken back to Fort Smith, was forcibly
taken from lh« jail in that city, and an attempt
made to hang him to a tree. While tile noose
was being adjusted to bis neck lie cast off the
rope and fled. He was fired upon by the crowd
and brought to the ground. He was carried
back to jail, where, at last accounts he was
laying in a dying condition.
An Abolitionist Banked.— We learn
that an individual, who feigned insanity, but
proclaimed that lie was bound to New York
to get him a wife, and asserted that he would
rather marry a negro than a white woman in
this country, was put ashore from the steamer
Kanawha Valley, on her last down trip. The
Mate of the boat should have dealt with him
in the shape of a few stripes at the capstain
before permitting him to cross the forecastle.
These chaps are becoming too plenty in Ar
kansas.
Artesian Well.—The long poles have
gictiuu iii me luuiuiu ui me auu-kj «-■»
aid in boring for water, but sonic week or ten
days will elapse before the contractors can
get the tubing. Would it not be “ well ” for
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to submit
the question to the people whether this “well”
shall or shall not be placed in the Publi?
Square in preference to the isolated position
which has been selected; the people’s money
is to be used, and not private subscriptions to
accomplish this enterprise. If some men do
get the use of public money, and refuse to pay
it over, it is no reason they should have ex
clusive water privileges. “ Fair play is a
jewel.” The people of Des Arc want an Ar
tesian well, but they waut it on the Public
Square, where the great mass can enjoy the
advantages arising therefrom.

Steamer Rose Douglas Sunk.—On Sat
urday morning last, the steamer Rose Douglas,
Capt. J. L. Maginnis, struck a snag near
Little Hill, twenty-two miles below Des Arc.
She sunk in a few minutes, the water covering
her cylinder timbers aft, and her bow out of
water. Capt. Maginnis, and her,clerk J. II.
Lane, as well as ail her officers, regardless of
everything else, turned their attention to the
safety of the passengers! and their baggage,
and succeeded in landing them safely. The
uiost strenuous exertions are being made to
raise the boat, with a fair prospect of suc
cess. Her freight was for different points on
White river, and we have been unable to as
certain the amount of loss that will accrue.
A number of her passengers arrived here on
Sunday, and all unite in praise of Capt.
Maginnis and his officers for their coolness
and manly conduct. The Rose Douglas has
teen running in the Memphis and White river
hade during the present month, and is entire
ly new.

Proceedings of the National Democratic j
Club of Prairie County. j
At a meeting of the Democracy of Prairie ^
county, held in Des Arc, Saturday September j
22d.l8i;0 the following proceedings were had: j
The meeting was called to order by W. J.
Tucker, and on motion, J. II Quisenberry,
Esq., was called to the chair and Dr. O. A. j
Rives requested to act as Secretary.
On motion of W. J. Tucker, it was resolved j
that this club be called the National Demo- .
cratic Club of Prairie county.
On motion, J. H. Quisenberry was ejected
President, W. J. Tucker Vice-President, and
J. C. Anderson Secretary of the Club.
On motion, it was resolved that a committee
of three be appointed to draft a Constitution
and By-laws for the government of the Club, j
whereupon the chair appointed O. Alston r
Rives, Benjamin Blakeney and W. J. Tucker
as said committee.
On motion of W. J. Tucker, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, we, the Democracy of Prairie
county, retaining at. immovable adherence to
the old landmarks of the Democratic party,
and opposed to new tests sought to be forced
upon the party, therefore be it resolved—
1. That we’cheerfully ratify the nomination
of Stephen A, Douglas and Herschel V. John
son for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of
the United States.
2. That we disapprove of the anti-Demo
cratic course of a portion of the delegation
who bolted from the National Convention and
acted with the Yonceyites.
3. That we re-endorse the Cincinnati plat
form, upon which Buchanan and Breckinridge •
were elected in 1850, and upon which Stephen
A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson now
stand. . .
4. That we sincerely regret thedivision now
existing in the Democratic party, and hope
the seceders from the old landmarks of the
Democracy may shortly see the error of their
wav. and return and plant themselves upon the
J ... I..1, 41 rininn
VUII.-'MUHIUII, C.V. -O --
adhering to the doctrine of non-intervention
which they so heartily endorsed in years gone
by and so recently rejected in their -“wild goose
chase,” remembering that
“Whilst the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return,”
5. That we believe the doctrine of non-in
tervention by Congress with slavery in the
Territories embodies the true principles and
faith of the Democratic party, a-' assarted by
former National Democratic Conventions, and
set forth and embodied in the great Compro
mise measures of 1850, brought about by the
genius of Clay, Webster, Cass, Douglas, and
their noble band of coadjutors and statesmen,
and that it offers the only safe and constitu
tional solution of the vexed question of slave
ry. and that it presents the only principles arid
platform upon which all sections may meet
with honor, and join hands and hearts in
maintaining the perpetuity and integrity of the
Constitution.
On motion, it was resolved that the Des Arc,
Brownsville and Little Rock papers be re
quested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting. ,, , , „ .
The meeting was then addressed by Benja
min Blakeney, .1. H. Quiscnberry, Assistant

claims of Douglas and Johnson, after which

The Black Republican Plot in Texas.
1 lie public generally are aware of the
recent burning of towns, residences, barns,
stables, &c., and the poisoning of wells
and springs in Texas. Negroes have been
arrested with quantities of strychnine in
their possession, and the well arranged
plans to destroy neighborhoods by poison
have been foiled. The people have rais
ed in their majesty—Vigilance Commit
tees have bung white men and negroes
indiscriminately wherever the evidence of
their guilt was fastened upon them. As
an inkling of the preconcerted plans of
the Abolitionists, we publish the following,
which has been furnished us by G. W.
Johnson, Esq., who has just returned from
Texas. The same letter was published in

Denton Creek, July 3, 1860.
Dear Sir:—A painful abscess on my right
thumb is my apology for not writing at An
derson. Our glorious cause is progressing
finely, as far South as Brenham. I there part
ed with Bro. Wempler; he went still further
south; he will do good wherever he goes. I
travelled up through the frontier counties,
part of the time under a fictitious name, t
round many friends who had been initiated,
and understand the Mystic-Red. I met with
i good number of our friends near George
town; we held a consultation, and were unan
imously of opinion that we should be cautious
rf our new associates; most of them are des
perate characters, and may betray us, as there
ire slave-holders among them, and value poor
legro much higher than a horse. The only
;ood they will do us will be destroying towns,
nills etc., ubich is our only hope in Texas at
present. If we can break Southern merchants
ind millers, and have their places filled by
lonest Republicans, Texas will be an easy
>rey, if we only do our duty. All wanted for
he time being, is contiol of trade. Trade,
insisted by preaching and teaching, will soon
:ontrol public opinion. Public opinion is
nighty, and will prevail. Lincoln will cer
;ainly be elected; we will then have the Indian
Nation, cost what it will. Squatter sovereign
ly will prevail there as it has in Kansas; that
iccomplished, we have at least one more step
o take—but one more struggle to make—that
s, free Texas. We will then have a connect
id link from the Lakes to the Gulf. Slavery
will then be surrounded by laiid and by water,
ind soon sting itself to death, I repeat, Texas
ve must have, and our only chance is to break
ip the present inhabitants, in whatever way
ve can, and it must be done. Some of us will
nost assuredly suffer in accomplishing our ob
ect, but our Heavenly Father will reward us
or assisting him in blotting out the greatest
uirse on earth. It would be impossible for us
o do an act lliat is as blasphemous in the
light of God as holding slaves. We must
l.ive frequent consultations with our colored
fiends. (Let your meetings be in the night.)
inpress upon their clouded intellects the bless
ugs of freedom, induce all to leave you can;
iur arrangements for their accommodation to
:o North sue better than they have been, but
lot as good as I would like. We need more
igents, both local and travelling, I will send
>ut travelling agents when I get home. You
mist appoint a local agent in every neighbor
lood in your district. I will recommend a
ew I think will do to rely upon, viz: Bro’s
Leake, Wood, Ives, Evans, Mr. Daniel Viery,
Lole, Nugent, Shaw, White, Gilford, Ashley,
Drake, Meeks, Shultz and Newman. Brother
Leake, the bearer of this, will take a circuit
iiii route, and see as many of our colored
b unds as he can; he also recommends a dif
'erent material to be used about town, etc._
Dur friends sent a very inferior article: they
unit too much smoke, and do not contain
niough camphene. They are calculated to get
oine of our friends hurt. I will send a sup
ily when I gethome. 1 will have to reprove
'ou and your co-workers for your negligence
u sending funds for our agents; but few have
iee:i compensated for their trouble. Our
lithful correspondent and industrious agent,
ho' Webber, has received but a trifle—not
o much as apprentice’s wages, neither have
5ro. Willet, Mangun and others. You must
all upon our colored friends for more money;
hev must not expect us to do all : they cer
ainly will give every cent, if they knew how
ooii their shackles will be broken. My hand
s very painful, and I close.
Yours truly, W. II. BAILEY.
N. B.—Brother Leake will give you what
ew numbers of ‘-Impending- Crisis” I have ;

Lock Stitch,” the strongest, most
and durable made by any machine. The liv;
judges pronounce the Moore’s Patent to be the
most simple, practicable and durable Machine
now before the public, and the most desirable
for Family use; being reliable nnd accurate on
all kinds of goods; using from two ordinary
spools without rewinding, am! size and kind
of thread from No, .8 to 200, and sewing with
equal facility the thickest and thinnest goods
used in families, together with a variety of
beautiful Embroidery work, and sold at about
half the price asked for machines of less prac
tical value.
The proprietor offers the Moore’s Machine,
with the improvements, at $35 or $10 when
sold at a distance by Agents ; and invites all
persons, ladies especially, to examine it thor
oughly, and satisly themselves of its real
merit.
Oliiiiiousof (lie Pressar if Public.
Moore’s Patent Sewing Machine.—There
has been one in our family for the last month
or more. It gives complete satisfaction and
is liked better the longer it is tried—it is sim
ple and easily worked, and docs not seem lia
ble to get out of order.—[Texas Christian Ad
vocate.
Moore’s Sewing Machine.—This Machine
is one among the best, and is reliable, and ac
curate on all descriptions of work.—[Daily
Gazette, Dayton, ().
Moore’s Patent; the very best in existence.
Every family should have one.—[Evansville
(Ind.) Enquirer.
Moore’s Sewing Machine.—We have one in
our family, and our better half is very much
pleased with it, not that it is r tally better than
Grovers & Baker’s, but it is simple and cheap
er than they ire. it makes, as beautiful and
substantial a stitch as any of them, and will he
used by the masses of the people.—[Memphis
Christian Advocate.
(From B. Fulsome, Sumpter, S. C.)—Dear
Sir:—I am well pleased with my machine. 1
think 1 can say, with all truth, it is as good as
any of the machines that are now selling for
$100. For a family machine I think it the
very thing.
To whom it may Concern : — I have thor
oughly examined the machine known as
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly assort
that I consider it the best cheap machine I
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. I believe it to be all that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and for a fam
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
other Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[H. II. Smith, Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
E. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pino Bluff,
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine 1
have ever seen, which is, I believe, the con
viction of all who have witnessed its operation.
Kev. A. R. Winfied, writing from Camden,
Ark., says, with reference to a number of ma
chines sent to that place : “The machines are
doing splendidly.”
(From R. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown A
Co., Memphis: “I have used Moore’s Spwing
Machine in my family about six months, and
It gives entire satisfaction. It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
of family work.
