E The San Juan Troubles—Impor
tant Confirmation of the American
Position.—Ion writes to the Baltimore
. Sun :
The statement in the New York Herald
that the Island of San Juan is in joint
) possession of the British and United States
’ lorces, is contradicted at the War Depart
s merit here; and, indeed, in all official
, quarters there seems to be a calm but de
• termined purpose to maintain the rightful
ness of our territorial claim up to the
channel of Haro.
The interesting fact is stated in army
,, circles that Arrowsmith’s maps, of the
. London edition of 1849, have the boundary
1 line drawn through the middle of that chan
. nel. In the same quarter I hear today,
t confirmation of my dispatch of last even
ing, stating that the British Commissioner
was instructed by his Gomerument to run
the line through the Resario channel.

-“Charles,” said a young lady to hei
beau, “what is the cause of the market-housi

tion that somebody is—pulling the rope !”
Ingratitude to Douglas.
It is amusing as well as instructive to
watch the manoeuvering and expedients
that have been and are being resorted to
by the Douglasites, for the purpose of drum
ming the Southern Democracy into the
support of their favorite. They first plied
the honeyed words of entreaty and per
suasion, and then threatened defeat and
disgrace unless all opposition were with
drawn, and an united effort made to ele
vate Douglas to the Presidency. But pa
triotism and true Democracy having pro
ven impervious to both, a new expedient
has been hit upon. The cry of ingrati
tude is resorted to and the sympathy and
pride of the people invoked to save the
South from the shame of that sin. This
expedient is quite as ridiculous as those
that have preceded it, and like them will
end in nothing. Mr. Douglas’ present
heresies cannot be excused by his fidelity.
If they could, then Van Buren, and Rives,
and Benton, and Houston, would never
have been distrusted and ostracised by
their party. For long years they ranked
among its ablest and most prominent
leaders, and as such were remarkable for
their fidelity, soundness and efficiency.
Up to the tithe that they severally set up
for themselves, they could each point to a
record as consistent, as orthodox and as
purely Democratic, and to services, ren
dered in the cause of their party, as bril
liant, as important and as useful as Judge
Douglas’. But these did not save them
from ostracism, nor gain them the confi
dence, the support, or the sympathy of
that party when they chose to take issue
with it upon great and vital issues. Judge
Douglas himself was not backward in
reading them out of the Democratic
Church, and we venture to assert that he
has not now a single Democratic follower
at the South who would not have hooted
at the idea of trusting them upon their
past record, and laughed to scorn any at
tempt to force either of them upon the
party on the plea of graitude. Yet such
an attempt would not have been a whit
more unreasonable than the one now
making in Judge Douglas’ case, nor, we
imagine, a whit more successful than it
promises to be. They suffered their am
bition to seduce them from their allegi
ance, fondly believing that their former
services would always command the con
fidence of their old followers. Judge
Douglas has followed their example, and,
like them, will find himself fatally disap
pointed. His friends may threaten, per
suade and implore; but, like theirs, they
will be told by the Democracy that the
man who deserts his colors in the hour of
battle, strays off after strange gods, and
preaches heretical doctrines, though he
may be forgiven after a hearty repent
ance, can never regain the confidence or
command the influence which he once
possessed, nor ever become the trusted
eader of his party.—[Mem. Avalanche.

FOR PRESIDENT.
I HAVE a tract of land well drained, and a
good well of water, which I wish improved,
occupied and cultivated, the ensuing year.
The above land lies five or six miles from Des
Arc, near Mr. McKindries, adjoining the
tract sold by M. M. Erwin to Mr. Owen.
Those wishing either to buy or improve land
will please see or address
JNO. S. PERRY, Des Arc, Ark.

John Jackson Co.
JNEW Jr ATtUNI.
The undersigned having procured the exclu
sive right of manufacturing and selling to
the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
late improvement in plows, (known as Har
ris’twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,)
would inform the planters of said county that
he is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
which will be done in regular turn, notifying
the person ordering, as soon as ready.
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
but was gotten up in the South by an expe
rienced workman, on scientific principles, to
suitthc wants of the cotton growing commu
nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy
the' most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
and in the end, the cheapest plow ever of
fered.
They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
county, under the superintendence of an ex
perienced worKman and no means or time will
be spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ing to the shop, time saved in changing plows
and the smith’s bill, in this you have four
distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either,) which yon can change at
pleasure on any part of your farm, no other
tool being required but your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
nary purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good
turning half shovel for ridging and hilling and
place a cutter before it and you have an excel
lent new-ground plow; in the third place, put
on both moulds and you have a large shovel,
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
of cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
cotton sweep, all four working better than you
can get anv common'smith to make of wrought
iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought
plow steel,) five extra points and eleven extra
sharpenings, over other plows, which is said,
by some of the most prominent planters in
North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
crops; and all this for #6 50-100, without
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop prices. I will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
for S3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $6 per lot.
(&8m Terms invariably cash on delivery of
the plow. C. A. HARRIS.
