Bobkmer’s Barber Shop.— Mr. Bodemer
hai removed his Shop to his new building, on
Buena Vista street, two doors East of G. It J.
McLaren &. Co’s., where he is prepared to ac
commodate customers in all the branches of
his “art.” Jordan has become “a fixed insti
tution” in Des Arc, and is determined to “cut”
and “shave” his way through, and make a
living as well as his neighbors.
Marble and Stone Workers.—We in
vite the attention of the citizens of Prairie
and adjacent counties, as also the residents of
the White river valley, to the advertisement
of Rothermel & Co. This firm have estab
lished themselves permanently at Des Arc,
and are prepared to furnish to order Monu
ments, Tomb and Grave Stones, Marble Man
1 tels, Urns, Counter Slabs, &c. Their letter
ing and carving will be done according to or
_1 lha erf WA haU6
examined their stock of Marble, and can
safely assert that those in need of any des
cription of work in their line, will find them
supplied with the best of material. The spe
; cimens of work from their hands, will com
mend them to the public as men who under
stand their business theoretically and practi/
I cally. We are pleased at all times to an
nounce the establishment of any branch of
the mechanic arts in our midst. All are in
| vited to call at Rothermel & Co’s., Marble
Yard and examine specimens of their work,
^ especially those who wish to mark the spot
where rest the remains of kindred or friends.
Free Negro or a Slave in the Cala
boose.—A light mulatto woman, by the name
; of Lizzy, was arrested at the Des Arc Hotel,
on Monday, by Sheriff King, charged with
being in the State contrary to law. She pro
| fessed to be free, afterwards was claimed as a
f' slave by a man by the name of J. P. Nail. He
could not produce the documents, and the girl
was committed to the calaboose. If she is a
I free girl, she should be dealt with according
| to law—if a slave, her owner should come for
J ward, prove property, pay charges and take
| her away. Sheriff King deserves credit for
I his promptness in this particular case. He
I has the law on his side if the negro woman is
» either bond or free.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
I Lizzy belongs to Col. Hunt, of Memphis, she
I claims that the Colonel set her free. Nail left
I tfcis naming on the Gen’l Pike for Memphis.
Escafed from the Calaboose.—Mart.
I Sexton, who was arrested a short time since
| by a process from Conway county, where he
■ is charged with assault with intent to kill,
| stealing. &c., and who had previously broke
jail in that county, escaped from the calaboose
| in Des Arc, on Thursday evening. Constable
Burk unlocked the outer door of the prison to
furnish Sexton with hie supper, and Sexton
having previously unfastened the inner door,
pushed the outside door against Mr. Burk
with such violence as .to knock him down,
when Sexton made a quick spring and escaped

The American Bible Union—Revision
or the Scriptures, &c. — Elder Jacob
Creatk, of Palmyra, Missouri, Agent for the
American Bible Union, lectured at the Pres
byterian meeting-house in Des Arc, on Satur
day and Sunday evening!. The audience was
small on Saturday night, but on Sunday night
the attendance was quite large, and the interest
exhibited spoke well for the intelligence and
spirit of enquiry exhibited among our citizen*.
Elder Crv.ath commenced his lecture by read
ing from an old translation of the scriptures,
which was almost unintelligible to the hearer,
and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the present (ItnoWn as King James’ trans
lation) abounded in errors which has given
tnfidel'ity an opportunity to dispute the truth
of Holy Writ. He asserted that the Bible
Union originated from a single motive, the
love of the pure Word of God, and that the
call by which it was summoned into exis
tence, invited aP.d welcomed “all persons to
co-operate, who embrace the principle” of
faithful versions, “without regard to their
denominational positions.” He showed that
“good Tnett and true” are now engaged in the
work of revision. Many books of the Old
alnfi New Testament have already passed
through the hands of the committee, and the
plan of the work, is ample evidence of the
honesty and fairness of those engaged in it.
Each page is divided into three columns—the
first column contains the common version, or
King James’ translation—the second column
the original text—and the third column the
scriptures revised. At the bottom of each"
page are notes and references. Thus giving a
fair and comprehensive view of the language
of the Scriptures to the common English
scholar, or to the individual versed in the lan
guages.
The principle as stated in the Constitution
of the Bible Union, as the sole object of the
organization, is as follows:
To procure and circulate the most faithful
versions of the Sacred scriptures in all lan
guages throughout the world.
The sole basis of constituency is the pay
ment of money for the object; thirty dollars
for Life Membership; and one hundred dollars
for Life Directorship; and ten, for annual re
presentation. Persons of any denomination,
or of no denomination, may become Life Mem
bers, or Directors, or Representatives.
The. officers and managers are chosen by a
majority of the Life Members and Life Direc
tors, and no other qualification is required but
this choice. Persons of different denomina
tions are chosen according to the will of the
Agents are appointed without respect to
their denominational connections^but solely
with reference to their qualifications to advo
cate the claims and advance the interests of the
Union. They are connected with different
denominations.
The Preliminary Revisers were selected as
the very best scholars that could be procured,
from nine different denominations.
The Final Committee is chosen without any
reference to denominations. It was necessary
that they should all be the best scholars that
could possibly be found, even if all had been
Presbyterians, or all Episcopalians, or all
Baptists. Among the four already chosen,
three denominations happen to be represented
but this fact had nothing to do with the prin
ciple of the choice.
The Rules and Instrnctions to Revisers,
have no reference whatever to anything sec
tarian or denominational. They simply re
quire the exact meaning of the inspired ori
ginals of Sacred scripture, in the languages in
which it is translated.
“There is nothing, then, in the principles
or proceeding of the American Bible Union
that partakes of sectarianism. It appeals to
all who love the pure word of God to co-oper
ate with heart and hand.”
With the liberal minded, and those who are
not blind with prejudice, Elder Ceeath finds
no difficulty in being heard. But there are a
class who can hardly be persuaded to look at
the truth, except through the preconceived
notions of others. Even here in Des Arc,
there were two instances in which he was not
treated with a proper spirit by those who pro
fess to teach “the way of life and truth.”
These men should remember, and we assert it
with no ill feelings towards them, that their
meeting-houses, or church edifices, are erected
upon ground given them by a gentleman, as we
learn, who entirely agrees with Elder Creath
t o . - a _ _ __..o tV. ~
“Men who fear discussion are generally in
error.” Hear all sides —then decide.
Take a Newspaper.—Rev. D. L. Gray, on
Sunday last, after the conclusion of his ser
mon, strongly enforced upon his hearers the
advantages of taking and reading newspapers,
both religious and secular. He truly affirmed
that there was a marked difference in the su
perior intelligence of families where news
papers were read. Children who read the pa
pers show their superiority, especially with
tbeir teachers at school. We looked over the
congregation, and discovered several who
have not subscribed for the “Citizen,” al
though we have no doubt they borrow it every
week and read it. We advise all of them to
read a paper of their own, it only costs $2 a
year! Parson Gray is certainly “sound on
the newspaper question.”
New Jaii. tor Prairie County.—
iron fixtures for a new jail were landed here
on Saturday from the steamer Admiral. We
learn that these “fixins” were purchased at
Cincinnati, and that the jail, when completed,
will cost near $7,000. The special county
tax for 1859, amounts to near $5,000. So the
people will have to be taxed at least $2,000
more to complete this expensive “trick”—
The tax-payers of Prairie county have paid
a high price for a smoky court-house and the
fence around it, and we presume they will
pay for a costly jail without much grumbling.
Des Arc Male Academy.—The Fourth
Session of this Institution commences on Mon
day next, under the direction of B. D. Perry.
The terms of tuition are reasonable, and from
Mr. Perry’s experience as a teacher we risk
nothing in recommending his Academy to the
continued patronage of the citizens of Des
Arc and adjacent country. Good schools will
do much toward the continued prosperity of
our town, and as this was, in reality, the “Pi
oneer Male Academy,” and has reached its
Fourth Session, our people should feel a pe
culiar pride in ensuring its prosperity by lib
eral and prompt patronage.
One Case Decided.—We learn that du
ring the recent term of the White county Cir
cuit Court, one individual escaped punish
ment for gambling, from the fact that “he
didn't have the money to stake.” We learn
that gambling in Des Arc, a few weeks since,
was conducted on the “cash principle.” If
certain individuals are brought before the
Grand Jury of Prairie county next June, they
can, doubtless, tell who had the money, who
lost and who won. Shouldn’t wonder !
—In Australia when a bank suspends, the
usual practice is to take the President to
the nearest tree, and serve hioi in the same
manner. The remedy is simple, and is be
lieved by some to be efficacious.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP BO
HEMIAN.
Cotton Market dull and Declin
ing
New York, Jan. 6.—The 8teamshi|
Bohemian, Capt. McMaster. of the Mon
treal Ocean Mail Steamship Company
arrived at Portland last night from Liver
pool, with advices of the 21st and 22d ult.
She sailed from Liverpool on Wednesday
the 21st, and touched at Queenstown on
Thursday, the 22d, where the latest ad
vices from Liverpool by telegraph were
obtained. The advices by this arrival are
four days later than those received per the
steamship Canada.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
Liverpool, Dec. 21.—The sales ol
Cotton for the past three days amount tc
16.000 bales, of which amount speculators
and exporters took 2,000 bales. The
market generally closed dull, and with a
declining tendency. Prices are easier,
but the quotations remain unchanged.
Latest toy Telegraph to Queens
town.
Liverpool, Dec. 22.—The snles ol
two days are estimated at 11.000 bales,
nearly all of which went to the trade.
The market generally closed dull. There
is a decline of id. on the week.
Manchester Cotton Market.
The advices from Manchester arc un
favorable. The market for goods and
yarns generally closed dull; in some cases
there was a slight decline on all qualities.
General Intelligence.
The intelligence by this arrival is gen
erally of an unimportant character.
The Liverpool Board of Underwriters
had received intelligence bf the burning
of the ship William Stetson at sea. She
was on her way from Mobile to Liver
pool.
The death of Hon. H. Fitzroy, Com
missioner of Public Works, is announced.
Lord Holland died at Naples on the 18th
December. During the month of Decem
ber the thermometer throughout England
fell to zero. The London Times in a re
cent article ridicules the sympathy ex
pressed by the people of the Northern
United States for Ossawatomie Brown
after his death, when too late. The Times
thinks the Harper’s Ferry affair will have
a tendency to strengthen the South.
The weather throughout France had
been colder than lor nineteen years, me
Seine at Paris was full of ice, and yie
railways were obstructed by snow.
The report sent out by the Canada in
reference to the abdication of the Emperor
of Austria is unfounded.
The standing army of Russia is being
reduced.
The affairs of Hungary had assumed a
more threatening aspect.
An outbreak was threatened on account
of the imprisonment of Protestant noble
men.
Advices from St. Petersburg slate that
Mahommed Amit, the principal chief of
the mountaineers right wing in the
Caucasus, has submitted to Russian arms
with his whole people. The Caucasus is
now entirely submissive to Russia.
A telegraphic dispatch of the 20ih ult.,
from Madrid, says: “Marshal O'Donnell
has declared Centa a free port of entry.
The latest accounts from Centa states that
15,000 Moors had attacked the left re
doubt before Centa, but were driven back
with a loss of 1,500 killed and wounded.
The Spanish loss amounted to forty killed
and one hundred and twenty-six wounded.
The recent heavy rains had inundated the
Spanish camp. On the nights of the 12th
and 13th December several eminent per
sons were arrested at Madrid, charged
with supporting subscriptions in favor of
Gen. Garibaldi."
The Diet of Sweden and Norway, now
assembled at Stockholm, has universally
resolved to ask the King to defend in the
General Congress the rights of the people
of Italy.
The Federal Council of Switzerland in
tends to ask the General Congress to guar
antee the neutrality of Savoy.
The Plenipotentiary of Switzerland will
probably be admitted into the General
Congress after the question of the neu
trality of Savoy shall have been settled.
From Washington.
New York, Jan. 6.—The Washington
^Correspondent of The Commercial Adver
tiser says: “There are rumors in this city
of a new military organization for the aid
of the liberal party in Mexico. It is pro
bably the old organization of last year, of
volunteers under the influence of Gen.
Vidaurri. that is beinff revived. The lea
ders of this movement have consulted the
Administration, but it has not transpired
how they were received. It is the inten
tion of some of them to proceed to Vera
Cruz to make terms with Presideul
Juarez.”
Total Route of Cortinas’ Band.
New Orleans, Jan. 6.—The steam
ship Indianola, Copt. Flanders, arrived ai
this port to-day from Brazos Santiago,
with Brownsville advices of the 1st inst.
Cortinas and his band had succeeded ir
capturing the town of Rio Grande, ai
which place the United States troops
Texan Rangers and volunteers attacked
defeated, and drove him across the river
Two guns were recaptured, which had
previously been lost, also a number ol
horses. Sixty Mexicans and nipe Amer
icons were killed. Cortinas and his band
were completely routed.
From Washington.
Washington, Jan. 5.—The Secretarj
of War has ordered a regiment of cavalrj
and infantry to Brownsville Texas, to re
inforce the troops already there for the de
fence of the citizens against the attacki
of Cortinas and his band.
Illinois Democratic State Con
vention. 0
Springfield, Jan. 5.—The Demo
cratic Stale Convention has elected dele
gates to the Charleston Convention wh<
| are instructed to vote for the norainatioc
of Senator Douglas for President.
| Matrimony by Wholesale.—In the
southwestern (Alabama) Baptist, we find
the following announcement:
' About eight miles south-east from An
dalusia, on Thursday, October Ittth, were
married at the residence of B. B. Bass, by
; G. A. Snowden, judge of probate. James
' Teel to Nancy Bass, William Teel to
Mary Bass, Wilson Bass to Jane Teel.
James, William and Jane Teel are all
sons and daughter of John and Anna
Teel; Wilaon, Nancy and Mary Bass are
all daughters and son of B. B.,and Eliza
beth Bass; all of Covington county, Ala
bama. The above connubial attachments
were all formed, and but one ceremony
delivered; a nuptial phenomenon perhaps
unequaled in this State or the South.
