A 8TATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The Fort Smith Times calls the atten
tion of the press of the State to the neces
sity of establishing a State Historical So- j
«uv iwiiuwiu^ wine i imes article:
“ In most, if not all of the older States, State
Historical Societies are formed, for the pur
Powof gathering historical facts concerning
the State, reminiscences of the early settlers,
and biographies of the prominent and leading
men of the State, and everything connected
with the State in which he Society is funned.
By this means matter is collected together that
Will be found useful in writing the history of
the State; besides, a large and useful library
will be collected, in a few years, which will
be of vest benefit to succeeding generations.
Nothing of this kind, that we have any
knowledge of, exists in Arkansas; and we
would here call the attention of our leading
men to the propriety of forming a State Histo
id! S®cl*t)r ‘or Arkansas, to be located at
Little Hock, the seat of government.
. * „tim® *** appointed for a meeting to be
bela in Little Rock, for the purpose of organ
izing the Society. We mention Little Rock,
because it appears to be the most suitable
place, as it iaThe seat of gevernment, and the
proper place for the head-quarters of such an
association.
We would be glad to have the newspapers
throughout the State notice this matter, and
add such suggestions, in furtherance of the
object, that they may think proper. Materials,
under the direction of such a Society, would
be collected, in the course of a few years, to
form a very useful and interesting h'istory of
Arkansas.’’
The suggestion ia a valuuble one, and
erery consideration of State pride and
patriotism requires its adoption. Our
Slate, apart from its common heritage in
the great Republic, has a history of its
own replete with instruction; and among
the pioneers and fathers of our State, were
men whose names and characters may
each bo dwell upon, with patriotic pride.
Nor can we believe that those who are
now reaping the fruits of their toil—who
are the favored occupants of the fair lands
which they explored and settled, when it
was yet a wilderness—are a thankless
race, or forgetful of those to whom they
owe their goodly heritage.
Our people, we believe, are not defi
cient in State feeling or State pride.
The men who have served us well are not
forgotten because they are dead. The
hearts of our people are true, and their
memories faithful; and we are well as
sured they only need to be reminded that
what ia engraven on the memories nnd
hearts of the present generation, should
have a permanent record,- There may
have been neglect in the collection of the
materials of our history, but not indiffer
ence; and when an opportunity is afford
ed them of discharging the sacred duty,
the appeal that the materials which eluci
date our early history, may not be suffered
lo perish, will not be iu vaiu. Lei us
rescue from oblivion, while we may, the
names and deeds of the hardy pioneers
who laid the foundations of our noble
State, and of all those who, by their wis
dom and patriotism, have since contributed
lo its welfare and renown. Already
much has been lost. Tiie first settlers
are all gone and their immediate descend
ants are rapidly passing away. Uuless
they are now secured, the materials for
the authentic history of our state will soon
be beyoud our reach. The mementoes of
the Indian occupants of our soil are scat
tered over the whole State with none to
gather them. The history of the early
French settlements is involved in much
obscurity. The influence of the French
regime—for it was a part of Louisiana and
subject to all the changes and vicissitudes
that marked the history of that Slate—is
almost unknown, and even the aunals of
our Territorial Government are in danger
of being lost. And is it not then high
time this work was entered upon and pros- 1
ecuted with the utmost vigor/ To attain
this object let us form a Slate Historical 1
Society. It will not only offer a safe
depository for whatever relates to the olden
men and the olden times—it will not only
be an e(licit ui agent in the collection of
materials for authentic history; but will ;
uwaken throughout our borders e spirit
of research, and infuse among our people
a commendable State pride. States much
younger than our own and far inferior in
historic interest, have already made great
advancement in this work. Wisconsin in
particular, though much our junior, has
set us an example of enlightened and pa
triotic interest, well worthy of our imita
tion. She has a Historical Society which
has already collected a library of .over
three thousand volumes. Let 11s imitate
her example, and form an organization 1
which will to some extent at least perpetu- |

WHO IB THE KNOW-NOTHING t
Loripadtm rectus der ideal, JEthiopem
albus.”—[Jwv. Sat., ii.]
Ma. Edith:—It is nn old adage, veri
fied by long experience, that •' Actions
speak louder than words.” By this it is
understood that, although a man may
loudly proclaim himself to be on? thing,
while his whole conduct proves' that he is
not what he pretends to be, but something
else, yet his pretensions are not entitled
to credit. In fact, it is no uncommon
thing for those who are really guilty, to
attempt to avoid detection by accusing
others of the crimes which they themselves
have committed. The application is this.
The managers of the “ True Democrat,”
whom, for the sake of giving them a “ local
habitation and a name,'1 I will style
Messrs. Dick Johnson & Co., broadly
charge all those who choose to differ from
them in political faith, and more particu
larly in matters of expediency and choice
of office-holders, with the sin of political
heresy, and denounce them ns Know
Nothings and disorganizes—colleagues of
Danley, &e.; while Messrs. Dick John
son & Co. are infallible, and are the only
“ Simon Pure” Democrats in Arkansas.
We are practically told that unless we
think just ns Dick Johnson & Co. think,
we cannot be Democrats. They are the
standard, self-styled and self-constituted—
:r_* _i__*. .1 .1 ... _ ... j j e
i* uuv, uiiv viumu mem u oiutiuuiu ui
democratic thought and action 7 I have
observed that they are far more tender and
sensitive about the choice of men than of
measures—that it is a far greater offence
to oppose Billy Sebastian, or any other
member of the Royal [7] Family, than to
be opposed to a strict construction of the
constitution, or in favor of a protective
tariff, or of Americans ruling America.
We are also told further, that all who
oppose Dick Johnson & Co., in any re
spect,-afe Know-Nothings and disorgan
ized, whose chief glory it is to distract
and destroy the Democracy; and it maters
not how firmly they believe in and adhere
to every principle of the democratic plat
form, they are not Democrats unless they
are willing to sacrifice those principles
when necessary to elect one of the Royal
Family to office, but disorganizers. We
are told that the would-be Governor and
his friends are the only uncontaminated
Democrats: all others are disorganizers,
&c. Such, in effect, are the teachings of
the “ True Democrat.” Are these things
true? Let every Democrat hear, con
sider, and then answer this question, for
himself. Are the Anti-Johnson Demo
crats Know-Nothings and disorganizers,
who are trying to distract the party, as the
“ True Democrat” alleges ? If so, when
and where did they ever ally themselves
with Know-Nothings ? Was it in that
amalgamation caucus of the 9th of Novem
ber ? I reply that they were the very men
who spewed the disorganizing and Know
Nothing members out of their mouths, and
protested against their taking seats in a
democratic caucus. Not so, however, with
Johnson & Co. They, and that arch de
magogue, Sebastian, found great solace
and comfort m introducing a few delectable
Know-Nothings, and a few sweet disor
ganized, into the caucus. A few votes
were needed there to help Sebastian beat
Gen. Hempstead, in the nomination for
United States Senator; and the Know
Nothings were dear creatures then? At
that crisis, the Know-Nothings were not
auuj ll^UUUI tt liU uuiuus uujeuis UUl lUUl
Sebastian and the Johnson collar-men
could meet them in a Know-Nothing’s
room, and hold a secret caucus, to devise
plans to secure Sebastian’s nomination at
the legislative caucus to be held on the
9th of November following. This was
done on Sunday uight, by the ringleaders
of the “ True Democrat,” and a few dis
organizing members of the Legislature,
who beat regular democratic nominees for
that office, and a few Know-Nothing mem
bers of the same body, with Sebastian in
their midst. Now, with these facts before
the people, I ask them to say who love
the Know-Nothings best, and who are in
alliance with them. Who but Mr. Oaies,
(a Sebastian man,) was it that loudly de
:lared in the Senatorial caucus, that the
rule by which Messrs. Van Buren, Polk,
Pierce, and Buchanan were nominated for
the Presidency, wns “ anti-democratic”—
that is, the “ two-thirds rulethereby
virtually asserting that the conventions
nominating those men were not composed
if Democrats, or else their action was un
lemocralic. Yet this doctrine is endorsed I
jy the "‘True Democrat,” by its approval
)f the course of the majority of that cau
cus of the 9th of November. When and
.vhere did the opposers of Johnsou & Co.
iver repudiate a national democratic con
dition? Yet, forsooth, Dick and his I
itrikers are the ouly Democrats in the 1
slate: they are the embodiment and Jac~ '
otum of Democracy in Arkansas. Such j
lumbuggery cannot pass current even in t
Arkansas politics.
It is well known to the Democrats of c
northern Arkansas, that the Batesville con- t
vention, of 1848, passed a resolution re- v
loinmending a change in the lime of hold- *
ng the election for Representatives in v
Dongress, so that they would be more di- a
ectly ftom the people. Was it the men
vhom the “ True Democrat” calls dis
trgauizers and anti-democratic, who re
tudiated the action of the Batesville con
cision, and defeated the proposed change, V(
or was it Johnson, Conway & Co. ? The
record informs us that Gov. Conway vetoed
the bill, (and the “ True Democrat” aays
amen to it;) while the Anli-Johnsonists
favored the bill. Then, who is it that is
wiser than a whole democratic convention,
and better Democrats than all those in the
northern district of Arkansas? Why,
Dick Johnson, " Dummy,” and Gov. Con
way. They carry all the democracy and
wisdom of Arknnsas in their coat-tail
pockets. But that was no lack of democ
racy with them—no soiling of their demo
cratic garments—in thus setting at defiance
half the democracy of the State. Why ?
Because they assume that they alone con
stitute the democracy of Arkansas; hence,
whoever opposes them are opponents of
the democracy. This is their continual
cry. But, touch one of the Royal Family,
and the •* True Democrat” declares that
the Democracy is about to be destroyed.
Out upon such hypocrisy !
Under this state of facts, I again ask,
“ Who is the Know-Nothing ?” Is it he
who advocated the recommendation of the
Batesville convention, or he who defeated
that measure ? Let the people judge.

AN ATROCIOU S^ASSAS SIN ATION AT
ST. LOUIS.
At about nine o’clock on Friday morn
ing, 2nd inst., the quiet citizens of St.
Louis were startled by the perpetration of
one of the most deliberate, cold-blooded
and atrocious murders our pen has ever
_ ..._I T . . .. t. /'t I_
less, Esq., an old and esteemed citizen
and President of the Mechanics’ Bank of
that city, having been shot down in the
street whilst peaceably pursuing his way
to his place of business, by Jos. W. Thorn
ton, ex-bookkeeper of the Boatmen’s Sav
ing Institution. Thornton was immedi
ately arrested and conveyed to jail, the
officers having much difficulty in preserv
ing him from the hands of the infuriated
people.
About twelve o'clock, some two or three
thousand men repaired to the jail with the
avowed purpose of forcibly taking and
hanging the prisoner, but through the
exertions of the police and the influence of
several prominent citizens, the excitement
was somewhat allayed, and a majority of
the crowd prevailed upon to disperse.
Squads of excited men, however, lingered
around the jail all the afternoon, and tra
versed the streets, threatening vengeance
on the culprit.
To prevent violence, Mayor Filley
ordered out the military, some of whom
stood guard in the jail-yard, while others
patrolled the streets prepared to instantly
suppress any threatened outbreak. Mr.
Charless still lingered at the latest advices,
but his death was looked for every moment.
He received two pistol wounds in the ab
domen, either one of which the surgeon
pronounced mortal.
Much excitement existed, and it was
feared that the announcement of the death
of tho wounded man would be the signal
of a general outbreak.
Mr, Charless, senior, is of the firm of
Charless, Blow & Co., one of the oldest
and most esteemed merchants of that city,
and the attack upou him is universally
regarded as the most unprovoked and
cold-blooded on record.
The following causes are given as hav
ing led to the commission of the bloody
deed: Some four years ago, the Boat
men’s Saving Institution of which Thornton
was book-keeper at the time, was robbed
of some eighteen or nineteen thousand
dollars. Suspicion was directed towards 1
Thornton, and he was narrowly watched,
but the officers of the institution as yet
retained his services. Thornton kept a
private account in the bank of which Mr.
Charless was President and it was noticed I
that whenever he made his deposits, one I
or two notes answering to the description !
of the stolen ones, were among the money 1
he wished placed to his credit. Finally. 1
he offered the sum of $1,070, all of which '
was suspected to be a portion of the missing 1
funds; Mr. Charless questioned him re- '
garding it, and received an evasive answer
which so strengthened his suspicions of 1
Thornton’s guilt that he resolved to de
nounce him. Thornton was arrested, tried, !
and acquitted, there being no positive evi- ■
lence that he had stolen the money.
Since the trial the mind of the disgraced 1
man has been brooding over his fancied I
wrongs and he has been heard, several '
imes, to express his intention to slay those J
who appeared against him. He has in- ^
leed wreaked a dreadful vengeance upon 1
>ne of the objects of his hate, and lost 1
limself.

Since the result of the Virginia election
has been made known the Democratic
leaders have begun to propose Senator
Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, as '.he Charles

candidate.
The Hon. Charles J. Faulkner’s friends
will probably ask for him the mission to

Mr. Mason has tendered his resignation
as Minister to Paris, but he will be re

Mr. Dallas from his post as minister to
Great Britain.
No provision has yet been made for
Mr. Hatch, of Buffalo. He was offered
the surveyor-generalship of Utah, but de

baugh had been appointed.

Secretary Cobb's recent circular, re

Application has been made to the

HIGH AND LOW WATER YEARS.
A friend has furnished the Vicksburg
Whig with the following memorandum of
he different years in which the Mississippi
river has been high and low. He settled
>n the banks of the river in 1820, and has
oeen living on it ever since. He dates
iis calculations back as early as 1812,
ind from that lime to 1820, he gives from
learsay:
In 1812 the water was very high, but
he highest water ever known was in 1815,
tnd the lowest in 1816,1817, 1818, 1S19,
1820, 1821 and 1822. In 1823 the water '
vas very high, but his recollection is, that ]
t fell in May in time to make a crop. In \
1824, 1825, 1826, 1827, the water was .
ow; in 1827 it was pretty high, but not
ligh enough to do much damage. The 1
•ear 1828 was the highest water lie has j
iver seen—it came over the banks in Jan
lary, and did not fall until June. In 1829 i
vas the lowest water he recollects—it did
lot come nearer the top of the bank than
■ight feet during the whole season. In (
.830 and 1831 the water was low ; in 1832 ;
t was very high, but did no damage. In
833,1834,1335,1836,1837,1838,1839
ind 1840, the water was low. In 1841,
842 and 1843 we had low water, and in 1
844 the water was very high, and did not ^
all until August—Arkansas and the upper ■
•art of the State of Mississippi suffered
ery much. In 1845, 1846, 1847 and *
848 the water was low. In 1849 and
S50 the water was high, and did not vary
wo inches from the water of 1844—much j
amage was done in both Louisiana and
Mississippi. In 1851, 1852,1853, 1854,
855, 1856 and 1857 we also had low
rater. While 1858 and 1859 are high
,-aier years—and will, no doubt, be dis- jj
nctly recollected by the river planters, j
iany of whom believe it the result of the -
;vee system, which, if persisted in, will
estroy the Mississippi valley—but our T
lformant thinks ii will only destroy the
igh lands. Judging from the past, our *
lend is of (he opinion that we will have s
hv water for five or six years after this fi
sasou.
Frdwch and Austrian Soldiers.—
'he Boston Courier thus compares the ^
ildiers of France and Austria: d
The Austrian army is a splendid mili
ry machine, beyond all question; but it °
a machine only. The men who compose
are, physically, the finest looking creat- r
■es on earth. To the eye nothing can be
ore brilliant or striking than an Austrian
my; compared with it, a French army,
|ualiy numerous, appears quite insignifi
nt. But it has no soul, none of that spirit A
liich is to an army what the mind is ’
the individual man, while a French fa
my is exactly the reverse of this. “No
my in the world,” says a German writer,
ias better built, more robust, more valiant, —
d better conditioned men than the Aus
an. What bodies, set against the
ench and Prussians! And yet they ’
ire obliged to knock under to both; for T
t the body but the soul strikes the blow JT
which lies the victory. They read w(
eek in the Austrian universities, I be
ve; and they might have learnt from T'
no that the soul only is the man, the Gl
iv a mere instrument.” ap
SfeiF'The war is spreading education ; j
it results in the spread of geographical
knowledge. The immediate effect of the
outbreak of war in Italy has been to set
every one to studying the map of Europe.
In order to supply the demand for infor
mation the illustrated papers have all been
publishing charts of the theater of thb ap
proaching campaign. Thus millions will
become acquainted with the geographical
features and peculiarities of countries upon
which they had probably never bestowed
more than a passing glance. It was the
same with our people during the Mexican
war.
