Fatal Altercation—Man Killed—Th
Murderer at Large.—On Sunday last, c
Upper Surrounded Hill, in Jackson count;
some two miles east of Des Arc, a fatal altei
cation took place hefwren Mr. John Rigp
and a fellow by the name of Jacob Crissmar
It seems that Crissman went to Riggs’ hotisi
and after abusing and blackguarding every on
who camp near him, at length, commenced uf
on Riggs’ daughter, using ob'cene language t
her, and making overtures ofth" most debase
character. Riggs protested against such cot
duct, when Crissman drew his knife and at
vanced towards him. Riggs seized his rif
and shot Crissman, slightly woundinghimi
the shoulder, Crissman then rushed upo
Riggs end stabbed him several times, prodtu
ing death in a few minutes Crissman the
attempted to kill Mrs. Riggs, Miss Riggs an
a child in the yard, but was prevented by
man near by. Crissman then went to D
Burgess’s, some three-fourths of a mile, an
had his wound dressed.
Shortly after this he was arrested and place
under guard, but being armed, and the guard
without arms, he escaped from t^em, obtaine
a supply of provisions, and secreted himself i
the woods. The news of the bloody dee
spread through the neighborhood like wild
fire, and on Monday, a number of men, wel
armed, commenced searching for Crissman
He was so closely pursued that he was com
pelted to drop his carpet bag containing hi
nistols. &e.. but escaoed and is now at larrre
We hope that the Governor will offer a rewar
for him without delay.
Crissman is a desperate man, and it is sail
has boasted that he was compelled to leav
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas
for ‘-chopping people to pieces.” Such char
acters had better hunt some o'her country thai
Arkansas, they wilt not be tolerated in an
maimer orform by our people.
Killed.—Sirenius W. Boyer, (known a
Si. Boyer,) was killed on Tuesday night, l.'itl
inst., at Clarendon, by his brother-in-law, A
J. Donaldson. Boyer, it sceins. had threat
ened the life of Donaldson, as well as others
at various times. Donaldson shot him witl
a double-barreled shot-gun, the content
lodging in Boyer’s abdomen. Boyer died al
most immediately. Boyer is the same ruai
who killed Jones Wilborn at Aberdeen, severa
years since. Donaldson gave himself up ti
the authorities—was tried and discharge!
from custody. We learn also, that the Gram
Jury of Monroe county refused to find a bil
against him. That Donaldsorr was fully jus
tifiable in the course he pursued, we hav
not heard questioned by any one. Boyer bor
the character of a desperate man, and wa
frequently engaged in broils and difficulties

, Bro’her. Maj Wtn. Henry, (Member (
Bylialia Lodge Miss.) we the members c
Mount Vernon Lodge. No. 99 and Brethrt

e A Sics of the Times.—The Louis

, the Hon. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, to be
- i Speaker ol tile House of Representatives
* | in the next Congress. Of bis abilities,
i parliamentary experience, political oraio*
!, ry nud tbe good nature of his social dis
e position, the party that nominated and
- elected Mr. Corwin cannot perhaps think
0 too highly. Bui that party is the Black
il Republican organization of Ohio. Now,
is it not significant that an ultra Southern
- Slave-code davocale, the Louisville Joui
e nal, should strenuously recommend for the
n Speakership a candidate whose election
a may naturally be expected to subject the
- House of Representatives to the control of
n the Black Republicans ?
il During the recent canvass in Kentucky ;
a it was repeatedly suggested that the Op
. position leaders and organs merely assuin- I
1 ed this ultra Southern ground on the sub |
jecl ofslavery for the purpose of •‘heading’’ I
j tlie sound and rational friends of the South.:
s the-Constitution, and the Union—the Na- ;
i tional Democrats; and that after the elec
i lion we would hear from them no more
I about the slave-code, protection, interven
. lion, and the other extreme dogmas.

journal of the Kentucky Opposition is

The “Opposition Victory" in Texas
Tne Opposition journals seem to be
greaatly elated at (tie election of Sam
i Houston to the Governorship of Texas,
i Tliev speak of it as the hand writing on
tne wall, foreshadowing the fate of the
Texas Democracy in the election of 1360
. Have they read any of the reports of the
i speeches of Houston, delivered in the late
i canvass? It so, they must know that his
■ election cannot be claimed as an Opposi
i lion triumph. In his speech at Nuoogdo
1 ches, as written out by himself, General
i Houstan came out decidedly in favor of
the administration of Mr. Buchanan, and
I ol the principles and measures of tile Demo
I cratic party. Read the following passage
. from that speech: “My principles you
, all know. I have ever been opposed to
, banks; opposed to internal improvements
i by the general government; opposed to
the distribution of the public lands among
the States ; opposed to taking power from
the hands of the people ; opposed to spe

MARKETS, &C:
Trade of Des Arc. &c. from September
1st , 1358 to September 1st. 1859
The continued increase, agriculturally,
of this section of the While river valle)
and the country adjacent, has added
heavily, during the past commercial year,
to the trade and business ol Des Arc.
With a population of between twelve and
fourteen hundred, the estimates below
will show that our people have contributed
their full share in the way of business.
About one half of the cotton from this sec
tion, last season, was shipped to New
Orleans and the other half to Memphis
But little of the trade of Arkansas river
has been enjoyed by our merchantaduring
the past season—that stream having ai
forded frequent navigation for steamers,
which has enabled merchants and others
to receive most of their freights. W ith a
semi-weekly line of mail steamers from
Jacksonport to Napoleon—a tri-weekly
line from Memphis to West Point, on
Little Red river via. Augusta, and not
less than three boats in the New Orleans
trade, White river presents an opportunity
to the farmer and merchant, at all seasons
of the year to go lo and return from mar
ket. It is the ouiy stream in the Slate
that furnishes constant navigation through
out the entire year.
