TOWN CONSTABLE.
Weare authorized to announce C. T. OLD
HAM, as a candidate for Constable, for the
Town of Des Arc, at the election to beheld
on the first Monday of February, 1860.
Two Men Drowned.—On the morning of
the 10th inst., Wm. J. O. Harris, Esq., pro
prietor of the Saw Mills, at Aberdeen,
Monroe county, left that place in company
with au Irishman who was in his employ, for
the purpose of cutting the ice out of the way
in East Lake, some three miles distant, to
enable the Ferry boat to cross at Rockroe
Ferry. Mr. Harris not. returning on Saturday
evening, search was made on Sunday morning,
the coat and hat of Mr. Harris, as also that of
the Irishman was soon found. The search
was continued until Sunday evening, when the
bodies of both were found. The supposition
is. that one of them attempted to rescue the
other from drowning, and that both lost their
lives. Mr. Harris Was an enterprising and
energetic gentleman, and his loss will be
severely felt, not only by his wife and rela
tions, but by the community in general. He
was burled on the morning of the 13th inst.,
by his Masonic brethren. We could not learn
the name of the Irishman who perished with
Mr. Harris.
Sxow Storm.—On Monday we had an old
fashion snow storm, which lasted most of the
day, and until 10 o’clock at night. The snow
fell to the depth of six or seven inches.
Mother eaith is clothed in a full suit of white,
and the cold North breeze gives us a sample
ol winter, which has not been realized in this
latitude since that of 1843. Fortunately
for our river friends, white river is near bank
full, although falling. No fears of ice are
entertained, so a3 to impede navigation.
Pkrsonm..— I)r. William H. Chambers,
Who has been a very successful practitioner
in Shelby county for the last eight or ten
years, passed through this city yesterday eri
route to Des Arc, Ark., which he intends to
make his permanent home. While the good
citizens of Shelby county deeply regret the
loss they sustain iii being deprived of the ser
vices of so skillful a physician, end such an
enterprising and worthy member of society,
they can but congratulate the citizens of Des
Arc upon the acquisition of a gentleman com
bining in such an eminent degree professional
ability and social excellence. We wish the
Doctor abundant success in his new sphere of
labor.—[ Memphis Enquirer, 17th.

End x.ain a^ivicr until they get one.
For ihe special edification of all
who are in any manner interested, we
re-publish below the preamble and resolu
tions adopted by the Des Arc Vigilance
Committee, on the 13th inst:
Whereas, Des Arc has heretofore heen the
most qttiet, peaceable and orderly town cm
White river orthe West, and her citizens
had the reputation far and near of being
Civil, courteous, industrious and moral;
and where«s, recently our quiet condition
has been broken by the fierce feuds, strife
and quarrel of strangers, and we have heard
in every direction, horrid oaths front the
dirty mouths of this blasphemous set, and
seen the bowie knife and pistol constantly
brandished by this set of out- laws, out-casts,
frequenters "of a gambling'hell and fiends
incarnate. And
Whereas, We believe that this class, con
sisting of gamblers, and all manner of pu
tridity from the filthy sewers of cities and
towns, which have heen driven oif by the
fierce torrent of public opinion and out
raged decency, from other places, are be
ginning to congregate here, and make this
their head quarters, and for the purpose of
accomplishing more effectually their dia
bolical purposes, pursuing more successfully
their hellish practices, and converting our
Eden into a pandemonium, have imported
into our midst lewd women ; »nd whereas,
also, from what we have seen and learn, we
believe there are Abolitionists in our midst,
persons unfriendly to the institution of sla
very as we have it, and who are tampering
with our slaves, endeavoring to instil into
minds evil principles, and whereas, we
look upon this class (abolitionists) as
thieves, hypocrites, cut-throats, incendia
ries, false to themselves, traitors to their
country, hypocrites in religion, and false in
everything and untrue to everything save
the devil and his service ; and as we believe
“self-preservation” to be “the first law of
nature,” and as the exigency of our situa
tion is not such as to permit us to await the
tardy and uncertain relief of the law—
therefore be it resolved :
1. That all gamblers are hereby notified to
leave Des Arc within 24 hours after the ap
pearance of this resolution in print, or they
will be dealt with summarily by the vigilance
committee.
2. That all lewd women, and women of
ill-fame, are hereby notified to leave Des Arc
within 24 hours after the appearance of this
resolution in print, or they will be summarily
dealt with by the vigilance comittee.
3. That all abolitionists, or persons inimi
cal to the institution of slavery, or who do
not believe that African slavery as it exists
among us, is right, and all persons who asso
ciate with, keep company with, and put them
selves upon an equality with our slaves, be
notified to leave Des Arc within 24 hours
after the appearance of this resolution in
print, or they will be summarily dealt with by
the vigilance committee.
4. That each and every member of this
meeting bind themselves to keep a profound
secret the actings and doings of the vigilance
committee, that we will divulge nothing that
is done by the vigilance committee under any
circumstances, nor any information commu
nicated to the vigilance committee by any of
its sub-commitiees.
b. That we hold ourselves in readiness to
ommrtrt fl.a i-ialnripo ('rtnimittpp in pvervtbin(r t
and upon the shortest notice, ami we pledge
ourselves not only to support the vigilance
committee, but to support one another in every
thing pertaining to the good of the town.
The Kingdom of Dahomey.—The
last accounts from the western coast of
Africa have brought the news of the death
of Juezo, King of Dahomey. The fol
lowing are some of the details concern
ing the country, published in the London
Times of October 29:
Dahomey is a military State, formed
about the commencement of the seven
teenth century, and occupies all the space
formed between the mouths of the Niger
and the Volta, and the last slopes of the
Kong. Notwithstanding this immense
extent, it only contains 200,000 inhabi
tants, of whom 100,000 are slaves. At
Dahomey the year is divided into two
equal parts. The first half is taken up
with warlike operations, and the other
part is devoted to fetes and public cere
monies. The war, properly speaking,
is nothing but a hunt after slaves, made by
a regular army of 12,000 soldiers, of
whom 5,000 are women; but when the
King leaves his capitol for the war. one
fourth part of the population of the King
dom accompauy him. The capital, which
is called Abomey, is about eight miles in
circumference, and surrounded by a deep
ditch. There are six entrances, which
are merely passages of dirt constructed
across the ditch. One of them is reserv
ed for the gjcclusive use of the King, and
the others are open to all his suh|ects.—
Over each gate are placed a number of
human skulls, and in the interior of the
city there is a high pyramid, formed of the
skulls of men and animals. The King’s
palace is in the centre of the city, and the
houses of the inhabitants are scattered
about here and there without any order.
The principal fete is that called the Yqe
ah-ek-beh, or the payment of the trouba
dours. There are at Dahomey a certain
number of poets, of either sex, whose
only occupation is to sing the exploits of
their sovereigns, and that employment,
which descends from father to son, is very
lucrative. At the above fete the King
publicly distributes recompenses to the
irouuauuurs, uvuuiuiug men imj/vuh.v
merits. All the fetes are attended by hu
man sacrifices, which take place on a
large platform erected for the purpose, or
namented with banners of different colors.
-The Postmaster General has de
cided that in case of a husband and wife,
letters addressed to the latter shall be de
livered to her alone, if she so requests.
-The enrollment of the thirty thou
sand men as a naval reserve commences
in England on the 1st of January.
_Fires were not made upon the hearth
stone because we had winters; but the winters
were created just that we might have fires
_to give us some excuse for building a tem
ple of flame every day and worshiping around
it every night—some reason for drawing near
each other, we whom the summer weather
had scattered abroad.
_The sea is the largest cemetery, and its
slumberers sleep without a monument. All
grave-yards, in other lauds, show a symbol
of distinction between the great and the small,
the rich and the poor; but in that ocean ceme
tery, the king, the clown, the pringe and the
peasant, are alike undistinguished.
—Everybody takes pleasure in returning
small obligations; many persons even ac
knowledge moderate ones; hut there is
scarcely any one who does not repay great
obligations with ingratitude.
-A Good hearted fellow may willingly
lend a crutch to halting humility, and yet
take delight in tripping up the stilts of pre
tensio n.

mended Helper’s book on the impending crisis
of the South. He asked the Southern Oppo
sition members to co-operate with the Dem
ocrats. He said the Northern Union meetings
which have lately been held were only ex
pressive of thesentiments of the Republicans.

getting up invasions. He told them that at
the signing of the Constitution, Northern men
sold slaves to the South; and now, after en
joying what'thus acquired, denounce the South
for retaining slaves. He said unless the North
ceased to invade the rights of the Southern
people, the South would meet them at the
cannon’s mouth. He said, he doubted the sin
cerity of the Republican regrets for the
Harper’s Ferry affair. He charged the Re
publicans to beware of the dangers hanging
oyer the country.
Washington, Dec. 16.— Senate.— The
