£©“ Mr. M. Shelby Kennaiid, of
the Independent Balance, Batesville, “de
airing to be relieved of all the labor of
conducting his paper, except what apper
tains to its editorial management,” offers
liberal wages to an intelligent general
workman, who will become a permanent
fixture for “two years, at least,” and take
charge of his office. Or, he will sell an
interest in the office, on liberal and easy
terms, to a practical and business man.

We learn from the Vicksburg
Whig of the 17th, that Hon. Benton R.
Webb, Secretary of the Stale of Missis
sippi died at his lodgings in Jackson on
the day previous. Gov. Petters, has ap
pointed A. B. DiLwoRTii.the immediate
predecessor of Mr. Webb,to fill the vacan
cy, until an election can be held.

£©* Cassius M. Clay, the Kentucky
abolitionist, has been airing his vocabulary
in the streets of Frankfort. The public
halls were closed upon him, and he spoke
in the streets at night by candle-light.
The Cincinnati Commercial’s account re
presents that his audience was made up
of non-slaveholders, but where they came
from, no one knew. No doubt that these
non-slaveholders were “emigrated” on
purpose to make an audience. Clay’s
voice, it is said, rang through several
squares.

Daring Murder! — The Little Iiock
Old-Line Democrat of Thursday, the 12th
inst., says that Alfred Kimber, a young
irnn living about ten miles from that
city was brutally murdered on the previous
Monday, by some unknown person or
persons. It seems that about half-past
eight in the evening, a person came into
the yard, and called for Mr. Kimber. He
went out towards the gate, when the vil
lain fired a gun, which look effect in the
breast of the unfortunate young mau.—
An inquest was held over his body, and
sixteen buck-shot were found in his
breast. No clue to the murder has yet
been discovered, though diligent search
is being made to arrest the perpetrator of
the atrocious crime. Mr. K. was a young
man of excellent disposition, and was not
known to have an enemy in the world.

WlTUOLDING OF Sou 1 HERN TRADE,
&c.—The following from the New York
Herald explains why “Union Meetings’
are all the rage. Let the South adhere
to the principle of withholding her trade
from the North, and build up within he
own borders that which she has so lonj
neglected. Direct importation from Eu
rope and Southern manufactures will in ;
few years render desolate the towns am
cities at the North who send Abolitionist
to Congress.
We are informed that Messrs. A. T
Stewart & Co., have found it expedient t
discharge over fifty of their clerks sine
the 1st January, in consequence of ll
great falling oil in their Southern trad
occasioned by the indignation of tnereban
below Mason & Dixon’s line at recetit i
ceudiary proceedings at the North. \'
are told, alio, that over one hundred fin
of lesser tote have been CQtnjK lied to tit
IS*
tail'll ir e-tablishments and their expen
ses from the same cause. Tims the storm
is beginning to rage, and it uffects all'
classes alike. Probably thousands of 1
young men — salesmen, book-keepers,
laborers—will weep tears of blood, before,
the lapse of many months, at witnessing
the poverty and desolation which the hor
rible doctrine? of William II. Seward, a?
developed by his practical disciples, Brown
Cook, Helper, and the sixty-four Congres
sional endorsers of his infamous book,
have introduced into their households and
fatnil ies.
BfflT From the Nashville Union mid
American, we learn that Col. London C.
Haynes, of Washington, and W. C. Whit
thorne, of Maury county, are appointed
Electors for the State at large on the
Democratic Presidential ticket to be nomi
nated at Charleston.

Practically at am end. — The
Washington Slates, in an article on the
effects likely to result from the non-inter
course between the North and South says:
Viewing the subject in this light, the
Union may be regarded as practically at
an end, as respects the future consump
tion of Northern products by Southern
citizens, and the intercourse in travel be
tween the one and the other. It will like
ly become as much a custom for Southern
planters and others to embark at Southern
ports for Europe, there to pass the sum
mer months, as it has been heretofore for
them to sojourn during those months in
Northern cities nnd ut Northern watering
places.

C. N. Harris, Esq., of Arkansas,
Killed in New Orleans.—The New
Orleans Picayune, of the 14th inst., con
tains the following particulars of a tragi
cal affair between C. N. Harris and Dr.
W. H. Peck.
The origin of the difficulty, we are in
formed, is an old grudge between the two
families, arising from some financial ques
tion. The immediate circumstances of
the affray are reported in different ways;
the case having to be fully investigated to
day by the Coroner, we will only give, in
brief, the most connected of the various
accounts wo have heard.
The sad tragedy of yesterday, is only
the sequel what took place Thursday al
ternoon, when Harris meeting Dr. Peck
at the door of the dining room of the
hotel, fired at him at first sight, with
out, it is said, any words passing between
them Harris was arrested and arraigned,
yesterday, before Recorder Summers, but
Dr. Peck not appearing against him, he
was fined $20 for a breach of the peace.
Yesterday afternoon, at about half-past
one o’clock, Harris went to the office to
settle his hill, and was still leaning against
the desk when Peck came in. The two
antagonists looked at each other fixedly
for a few moments, when Dr. Peck re
marked: “You attempted to assassinate
me yesterday, sir!” “I expected an en
counter, and though you were going to fire
at me, on sight,” replied Harris. “I sup
pose you are armed now?” asked the
Doctor. The answer given by Harris was
not well heard, although some say he an
swered that he did not wish for a difficulty,
but was not afraid of him. Upon tins
Dr. Peck drew his revolver, as also did
Harris, nearly simultaneously, and the
firing began. There is some differce of
opinion as to who fired first, but is.gen
erally presumed Dr. Peck did. After ex
changing several shots, Harris retreated
into the small private bar-room, adjoining
the office, and got behind the bar, where
he crouched or fell. Dr. Peck pursued
him, having dropped his revolver and
drawn his bowie knife, and leaping over
the counter, fell upon his antagonist and
stabbed him several times, lly this time
the people had rushed up to them, and
several of their mutual acquaintances
cried out to Dr. Peck not to kill him, who
answered, still holding him down, “Then
take charge of him, gentleman, for if I
let go of him, he will surely kill me!”
With this lie rose,and the bystanders
picked up Harris, who was in a dying con
dition, and breathed his last in a few min
utes, without having spoken. Dr. Peck
remained in the hotel with his friends,
until the police came, when he quietly sur
rendered, and was committed to the Parish
Prison. None of Harris’shots had struck
him, and his only wound was a slight cut
: -1 .. i.i j . • i. i :. i —: r .
Ill iimj iiuuU) iiiuuv n mi mu v> m u »u • • v
when he drew it.
The coroner was sent for and made a
post mortem examination of the body.
Three shots had taken effect and four slabs.
The wounds were, one shot and two stabs
in the left shoulder; one stab in the left
arm; one stab in the left side, between the
fifth and sixth ribs, penetrating the lungs;
one shot also in the left side, between the
seventh and eight ribs, penetrating the
liver, and one shot in the breast between
the first and second ribs.
Mr. Harris was near twenty-six years
old, and resided in Arkansas county, in
this State.

Virginia Manufactures. — The
Washington correspondent of the Phila
delphia North American, commenting
upon the appearance of Senator Mason
in the Senate, in a suit of clothes of Vir
ginia manufacture, admits that, however
unfortunate the condition of things may
be which has brought about a disposition
on the part of Virginia to restrict her in
tercourse with the North, if the South will
adopt the policy indicated in this one act
of Senator Mason, her future career will
be marked by a greater prosperity than
has ever yet been reached. The motive
which prompted Senator Mason to set this
example, continues the correspondent, is
' worthy of praise and imitation. If, says
■ he, the representatives from other States
i would act upon the same principle, exhib
I iting more concern for the immediate in
terests, with the care of which they are
’ charged, than for the behests ot party
we should witness a higher lone in the
. public councils, and a less humiliating
o surrender of personal independence and
e | political conviction. Such an illustratiot
el as this commends itself to all candid opin
M ion, and simple as the act is in itself, i
is | exhibits a Siate pride and a devotioi
i- which Tecalls a better day, and revive
e. j scenes in which the immediate ancestor o
161 this very Senator proved his zeal and pa
r- triotuui in a larger cause.
Hindman's Position — The Contest for
Speaker—The True Democratic Po
sition.
*• My colleague pre-supposes that I will do
what lias been the habit of my past life, and
that i ;,gftinto a caucus with my fellow-Demo
crats and abide by their action. I will, sir;
but with this express re-servation, which ap
plies to the action of every Democrat when
ever a convention.of the party is lydd, that
whenever the Democracy will act as, in my
judgment, Democrats ought to act, whenever
they will conform to the established usages of
the Democratic parfj- in nominating one who
approves the principles, and who abides by
Democratic usages, then I will be found ad
hering unflinchingly to the nominee, under all
circumstances, and against every opposition.
But 1 say distinctly that I will not be tians
ferred by the voice of the Democratic major
ity on this floor, or by any other power under
Heaven, in any case whatever, to the support
of a man who does not indorse and approve
Democratic usages and principles. There is
but one state of facts that can be supposed,
under which I will vote for a member of the
so called Opposition, or, as I term it, the
Know-Nothing party, and that is, in the event
a choice is forced upon ine between a Black
Republican and Know-Nothing; then, as a
choice of evils^ reluctantly, and under the
pressure of circumstances, 1 will be constrain
ed, perhaps, to vote for the Know-Nothing
candidate. But 1 repeat that I will give him
my vote reluctantly.”
After quoting the above, the Memphis
Avalanche says:
The foregoing language was used by
Hon. Thos. C. Hindman, of Arkansas, in
reply to some remarks by bis colleague,
Mr. Rust, in the House of Representa
tives on the 28tii ult., touching the pend
ing contest for the Speakership. They
have about them the ring of the genuine
Democratic metal, and enunciate the true,
and, we think, the only safe Democratic
position; and they have, therefore, our
unqualified sanction and approval.
The Democratic delegation in Congress
met in caucus at the begining of the ses
sion and, as it was their duty to do, nomi
nated their candidate for Speaker. After
several ineffectual ballots bad been taken,
he declined the further use of his name
i . ■. .i r.. .i.
Ill Ultil uapacuy, aim ww“
lest. We thought at the lime that, in
pursuing this course, Mr. Bocock did
wrong, and we think so still. In our
judgment, he should have remained in the
position his party had placed him, until
he had been defeated, was successful, or
bad been withdrawn by those who nomi
nated him. But however this may have
been, and, for ought we can say, the oc
casion may have justified it, it was, it
seems to us, clearly the duly and the poli
cy of the Democratic members, when he
adopted the course he did, to have met in
caucus and substituted some other good
Democrat in bis place. This would have
preserved their organization intact, ena
bled them to have acted in harmony and
concert, and, if it had not secured success,
would, at least, have commanded the re
spect of their opponents, and evinced a
consistent and earnest devotion to princi
ple, which would everywhere have met
[he approval of their constituents. Col.
Hindman, we happen to know, was-one
if several who urged this couise upon his
inrty friends. We regret that his coun
sels did not prevail; and while others, as
sound and true Democrats, perhaps, as he,
loubtless thought they had good and suffi
:ient reasons for adopting a different
sourse, we think the result will prove that
hev are wrong, and when, perhaps, it is
oo late, cause them to regret with us,
hat they had not acted differently. Our
notto is that whether in a majority or a
minority—whether in sunshine or in storm
_in the day of triumph or in the dark
light of defeat, the Democracy should
ilways maintain its organization, and
steadily stand by colors. A different poli
;y may occasionally secure a success,
,vhere defeat would otherwise be inevuta
ale, but such success must necessarily be
[emporary, while those, which are sure,
sooner or later, to follow the course we
idvise, are almost always permanent and
important. If, therefore, the contest for
Speaker is to continue, we hope soon to
hear that the Democratic party in Con
gress has reconsidered its course and
nominated another candidate of its own,
with the determination of standing by
him unswervingly and unflinchingly to
the end of thq, struggle.

It will be seen by the following commu

The letter of Mrs. Hindman’s attending

Mr. T. C. Peek
Editor Old-Line Democrt, Little Rock
Dear Km:—My attention is called to ai
editorial of- the "True Democrat,” newspape
of your city, intimating that the recent inju
ries to Mrs. Hindman were not of so grave
nature as to require the presence of her son
Col T. C. Hindman; and therefore that Col
Hindman’s statement that he could not fill hi
appointment at Little Rock, on account of th
accident to his mother, was merely a politica
ruse, to avoid the responsibility of speaking
there.
I am no politician at home, and certainl
not inclined or willing to interfere in Arkati
sas politics. But justice demands that
should say. that 1 was the attending physi
cian, and know the nature of Mrs. Hindman’
injuries. Her collar bone was broken, an
she had violent concussions of the brain, an
was very seriously bruised about the lira
and shoulders She was wholly insensible fo
21 hours after the casuality. and was not oi
of danger until the 6th or 8th day; consider
ing these facts and her great age, her deat
would have been ro surprising event In sue
cases I always advise the attendance of distal
relations ; whether they attend or not depend
I .suppose, on the strength of their natun
affections. Respectfully,
CHARLES W. WINSTON.

T. C. Peek, Editor Old-Line Democrat.
I am so often in receipt of letters asking copies
of works ordered by previous Congress, that
it is proper that I should state publicly why
l cannot comply with, such requests, so as to
prevent any misconception of lire facts.
After diligent inquiry, I find that iny pre
decessor, in the discharge of his duty, receiv
ed and distributed all the books and documents
to which our District was entitled, up to the
meeting of this Congress; and that I, as a
new member, am entitled to no book or docu
ment heretofore issued, of any character or
description whatever.
I find, also, that no appropriation was made
by the last Congress for the purchase and dis
tribution of seeds. My constituents will
therefore not be entitled to any, unless pro
vision for that object be hereafter made, which
is improbable.
For the public information, please insert
this letter in your columns, with a request
that it be copied by newspapers in the first
Congressional distiict. Respectfully,
T. C. HINDMAN.
