Examination at the Wattensaw Acad
emy.
Mr. Editor:—We had an examination of
the pupils of Mr. Brown, at the Wattensaw
Academy, on Thursday last. It was certain
ly an occasion of much interest, and gave groat
satisfaction to the patrons of the school, a very
large number of whom were among the attend
ants. The writer has been accustomed to give
attention to these exhibitions for the past
twenty-five years, and takes pleasure in bear
ing witness that this was fully equal to any
thing of the kind lie ever had the pleasure of
attending. The classes in Latin, Algebra,
English Grammar—in fact all, including the
Compositions, Speeches, etc., etc., all deserve
the highest commendation. You will never
know what you missed. The attendance was
I very large, and the ladies of the immediate
vicinity had a full blooded Wattensaw dinner,
served in their usual style—and that, you
know, means abundance and elegance. 8.
Unfortunate Affray—two Men Kill
ed.—We learn that a difficulty occurred on
Saturday last, at a muster in Hamilton town
dip, between Samuel Shoemaker and
Bland, which resulted in the death of both
parties. Bland shot Shoemaker, killing him
instantly, when Wm. Deadtnan shot and killed
Bland.
The University of Nashville.—The ad
vertisement of this popular institution will be
found in our columns. The funds of this Uni
versity now amount to near four hundred thou
sand dollars, all of which is vested in State
bonds and city real estate, that yields at all
times six per cent, per annum.

To the Citizens of Prairie County.
E. W. Douglas, in his long tirade of false
hood and abuse of me in the Prairie Demo
• crat, of the 28th ult.. starts out bv sayinj
personalities are something that I (he) dis
! approves of, both in public and private life
, and not only do they meet with my disappro
1 bation, but to have to stoop so low as to dea
j in such is truly unpleasant. If Mr. Douglas
| had been the high minded and honorable mai
I he would wish you to believe he is, he wouk
not have stooped so low as to Have become the
pliant and willing tool of my worst pnemy
Win. J. Rogers; to circulate false charge
through the county against me when 1 was
confined to mv home by sickness, and before 1
had ever said aught against him. If Mr.
Douglass had any knowledge of what consti
tuted honor and honesty, he would have ceased
those slanders and have made amends for the
same after I had proven by the Rev. A. Wil
liams and George Hallum, in his presence
and in the presence of a large audicDce of the
citizens of Prairie county, in the court house,
on the 11th ult., that his statements in relation
to me were false. But notwithstanding the
emphatical and unequivocal testimony of
| Messrs. Williams and Hallum, that his state
I inents were false, he continues, through the
I Prairie Democrat and by other means, to cir
I dilate the same falsehoods. His attempt to
I prove the same, by Dismukes, Hicks and Bro
naiigh, is a lame effort, for they state nothing
of their own knowledge, but only state what
they heard some other person say.
Fellow Citizens, this statement about my
closing the court house against preaching was
started by Win. J. Rogers in 1858, and is now
harped upon by his pliant and willing tool,
E. W. Douglass, to prejudice the religious
portion of the community against me. It is
an electioneering falsehood, and nothing else.
His (Douglass’) assertions that I never re
quired W. Harris to make reports, as Com
missioner of Public Buildings, and to certify
to accounts for work done on the courthouse,
are utterly false, for not one dollar was paid
on account of the court house only upon the
report of the Commissioners, W. Harris and
Dr. .1. Wright. Those reports were filed in
the Clerk’s Office, arid are yet there if they
have not been purloined by some designing
person. His (Douglass’) flings about the
land of my nativity, negro stealing, John
Brown, &.C., I pass by, for they show for
themselves at what small straws small minds
will catch. J. L. HUNT.
Win. J. Rogers’ statement, in the Prairie
Democrat of the 28th ult., so far as it relates
to the financial condition of the county, from
October, 1856, to October, 1858, the two years
that I was County and Probate Judge, is mys
tified and false.
Rogers says that when I came into office,
October, 1856, there was $500 59 in the treas
ury ; the records show there was $1316 85 out
standing script unredeemed when I came into
office, and the record further shows that there
was owing M. D. Cheek, A. B. Hope and H.
P. Vaughan, for work done on the Court
House, contracted for before I came into of
fice. the sum of $5532 70, which, added to the
mitcftinrlinn* mnl’Pii /SfS lNTnw rlo.
ducting the sum of $391 03. which was the
amount of cash in the hands of the treasurer,
and we have $6456 52 of debts contracted be
fore I went into office, and which amount was
paid off while I was in office.
Mr. Rogers says, in his recent statement,
that in October, 1858, the county was in debt
$.549 03, and in his statement, published in the
lies Arc Citizen of Nov. 27, 1858, dated
Brownsville. Nov. 15, 1858, that there was a
balance in the treasury on the 13th October,
1858 of $347 77.
The amount of script issued during my term
of office was $7924 75; $5532 70 of this script
was issued to Messrs. Cheek, Hope and Vaugh
an, and $500 for fire-proof safe, and the bal
ance. $1892 05, for ordinary expenses of the
county for the two years I was in office.
Rogers shows, according to his own state
ment. that he expended, during the two years
he has been in office, $7603 95. Now, Mr.
Rogers, what have you done with the money?
Did you not make a proposition to Mr. Mc
Bride, contractor to build the county jail, to
take you in as a partner, urging, as a reason,
that lie ( McBride) could get a better price for
building the jail by taking you as a partner?
J. L. HUNT.
to thiTpublic.
On the 12th of July I was called on by Jas.
VL. Hunt. Esq., by letter, for a statement of
my recollections of what transpired in rela
tion to the closing the Court House against
preaching, &.C., while I was Commissioner of
Public Buildings. The following is the por
tion of my answer excepted to, and upon which
I am charged with falsehood :
“ At the July term. 1857, of the County
Court, the Court House was completed as far
as M. I>. Cheek’s contract extended, was
ready for use and was received by the court.
The question was sprung, by whom 1 do not
recollect, shall the Court House be kept ex
clusively for county purposes, or will preach
ing fiddling and dancing, show's, &c., be al
lowed. The court took the subject under ad
visement until after dinner. At‘this meeting,
the members of the court, as individuals, ask
ed the opinion of the meeting on the subject.
If my memory serves me right, it was a unani
mous voice of closing the house against every
thing that was not for the State and county
purposes. In the meeting,the members of the
court expressed no opinion on the subject that
I heard—their object seemed to be to learn
the wish of the citizens. Mr. England was
requested to see that the court room was kept
shut up. If there was any action taken by
| the court, as a court, I am ignorant of it. Mr.
I England told me there was no order made on
! the subject—1 have examined the records for
such an order twice and found none.”
The proof offered is the statements of E. E.
Dismukes and I. C. Hicks; they say Mr. En
gland told them an order was made closing the
house, but he would not put it on the record.
1 Is there a man in the county, who knows Mr.
Pno-UnH that would believe for a moment
I that he would refuse to record an order of the
; County Court? Is there a man in the county
that can believe the court would have sub
mitted to such an indignity ? The truth is as
stated above in my letter. The directions
given to Mr. England were by the court as
individuals, carrying out the voice of the
meeting. They say Mr. England told them
i the order was made. With what Mr. England
j said to them 1 know nothing and care less;
' about that I am not concerned. Mr. England
told me there was no order made on the sub
ject. at.d his statement to me is substantiated
: by the following certificates and the records
of the County Court.
Charles Hallum, Esq:
Dear Sir: Please state whether you assis
ted in holding the July term of the Count}
Court, in 1857. If so," please state all that
transpired in relation to closing the Cour
! House against preaching, &c.
| ° W. HARRIS.
Brownsville, July 30, 1860.
.Da. W.-Hajuus4-In reply ta-your-inquir}
c in relation to closing the Court House o
j Prairie county against preaching therein,
I have to state that I assisted in holding th<
1 July term of the County Court, in 1857. am
j that there was no order passed in relation tc
j closing said house against any thing, and m
motion entertained in said court in relation t<
the subject, according to the best of ni}
knowledge and recollection.
Respectfully.
CHARLES HALLUM.
July 28, 1860.
Jas. L. Hunt, Esq. : Please state whethe
or not an order passed the County Court, dur
ing your term of service as Judge, closing tb
court house against preaching.
W. HARRIS.
Brownsville, July 28, 1860.
This is to certify that no order, closing th
court house against preaching, was made dur
, ing invterm of service as County and Probat
' Judge’of Prairie county, nor was such a mo
tion ever made or entertained by the Count
Court during my term of service.
J. \j . HU ft l.
Mr. Doturlass says : *•! submit that he neve
required Dr. Harris to make reports.as com
j miss toner, and to certify to the accounts fo
I work done on the Court House, as the law di
; rects.” I do not see the object of this charge
I but rav, in reply, Mr. Douglas is mistaken
I Mr. Cheek never drew a dollar except on mj
| recommendation. I made several reports, a:
Commissioner to the County Court, upon ma
1 terials and work—some of them lengthv. 1
' delivered them in writing to the Court. I hav<
| no doubt they are on file in the Clerk’s office
and further, for the truth of this statement, ]
refer to Joseph Evans. James L. Hunt, Wm
Hendricks, J. M. Britton, and Charles Hal
lum.
Mr. Douglas says, in speaking of Judge
Hunt, “the Court House was built during his
official term, and you will find, by consulting
the record, that it never lias been recorded by
the County Court.” I submit that Mr. Dou
glas is again at fault. Judge Evans was on the
bench, and made most of the arrangements,
and indeed .all the important ones before Judge
Hunt was elected and qualified ; and as to the
reception of the Court House, read the annex
ed copy of an order or resolve of the County
C»urt, made at July term, 1857 :
JULY term, 1857.
Whereas, The new brick Court House for
this county, which was let out by contract to
Moses D. Cheek, Esq., two years ago, has
! been completed bv him, under his contract, in
i a manner not only satisfactory to this court,
but highly complimentary to himiclf, theie
! fore be it
Resolved, That the thanks of the court,and
I those of the people of Prairie county, are due
i him for the prompt and faithful manner in
1 which he has executed his contract, notwith
standing the many disadvantageous circum
, stances under which he labored.
A true copy from the record.
Attest: WILLIAM GOODRUM, Cl’k.
Nothing is more unpleasant to me than fo
appear in print. I have no ambition in that
way. I have been drawn into this controver
sy by a sense of duty, not choice. I was the
Commissioner during the building of the Court
House. Judge Hunt called on me, by letter,
for a statement of a transaction that passed in
the Court House. I gave it; for which an at
tempt has been made to saddle falsehood on
me. I have removed it from myself, and am
indifferent where it settles.
Respectfully,
W. HARRIS.

LATER’FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the City of Washington.
New York, July 29.
The steamship City of Washington from
Liverpool, passed Cape Race this evening.
The news Yacht of the associated Press
failed to obtain the usual summary of for
eign intelligence, but two newspapers were
secured, from which the following inter
esting advices are telegraphed. The Brit
ish Government had been informed of a
ieariut massacre 01 onrisiians at namas
cus. Three hundred and thirty were kill
ed, including the Dutch Consul. The
American Consul was severely wounded.
The two vessels sent to Gen. Garibaldi
from England, were merchant steamers.
The steamer had also gone to join Gar
ibaldi’s naval force.
Advices from Naples say that patrols
were constantly traversing the streets.—
The Moderate party were apprehensive
concerning the late stabbing of the Inspec
tor of the former police.
The proclamation issut/d by Gen. Gari
baldi had been distributed. He says: “I
am a Royalist but 1 prefer Victor Eman
uel who will lead us against Austria.”
A conflict had taken place at Naples
between the troops and the people, in con
sequence of popular manifestations in fa
vor of a place of refuge. Several were
killed.
The Neapolitan Ministry had been dis
missed and a new Cabinet formed.
Massacre of Christians.
The accounts from the East of the de
struction of the Christians in Mount Le
banon, are of the most horrible nature,
equaling in cruelty, perfidity and lust, the
hellish doings of the Sepoy in the East
India rebellion. Villages, towns and con
vents have been burned and their inhabi
tants of all ages and sexes, ruthlessly
slaughtered. A letter to the Boston Tra
\veller, dated June 21st, announces that
Seach, the last strong hold of the Chris
tians at Lebanon, had been captured and
| burned, and that the Christians were fly
ing in all directions. It was rumored that
! Sydon had also been destroyed, and two
i thousand five hundred Christians murder
; ed. __
From Texas.

Picayune at the island of Iluatan—tin
spot Walker is making the base of hi:
new filibustering operations—states tha
the English were to surrender it to Hon
duras on the 30th of July.* He adds
“ Toe inhabitants are determined that th<
Honduras flag shall not be hoisted. I
. that the sealers -are well nr met
11 with small arms (rifles and revolvers)
therefore there is no likelihood of the Hon
duras government taking the island. I
they attempt to do it they will meet tnori
than they are able to manage.
The Hemp Crop.—The St. Louis (Mo.
! Democrat says : “The prospects now are tha
i not over 95,000 bales of hemp will be produc
ed this year in Missouri—a great falling off
• but there is a large stock of this year’s hem
■ in planters’ hands held back from the mar

THE TRUSTEES of the above
School have the pleasure of an
* BS, "ouncinir that they have engaged
rj& W. A. Garner and lady to take
, ?W charge of the Institute, and will
open the first session on the first Monday in
September next.
The Principal and his lady, both being na
tives of South Carolina, and having been
educated for teachers, and with an experience
of several years in their business, we would
say that no school in the State offers better
inducements to educate children than ours.
As for the situation of our school we would
say, we are 14 miles from Des Arc and 36 from
Little Rock, iminediaicly on the stage road;
and we would further say, there is i|0 place
in the State which is more proverbial for
health, morals and good society, than this. ,
