DES ARa ARKANSAS :
WEDNESDAY.. . SEPTEMBER 7, 1859. j
Ho*. T. C. Hindman.—Wc lenfh that
this gentleman was greeted with large j
crowds at Searcy on the 31st ult., and a'.!
Augusta on the 2d inst.
We heard him at Jacksouport on Sat
utday last. Some two hundred persons
were in attendance, which was a large
crowd, taking into consideration the in
clemency of the weather—a heavy rain
having fallen most of the previous night
and the forenoon of the day.
The speech on the occasion was able
and replete with incontrovertible facts—
not mere as-ertions—for the documents
were produc< d to prove conclusively his
positions.
A friend lias promised us a letter from
Bntesville, in which lie proposes to give a
sketch of Col. Hindman's canvass to that
point.

Senator Douglas ro Mr. Plyton.
—The Washington Slar says that Mr.
Douglas hus written a letter to Mr. John
L. Peyton, of Staunton, Va., in which he
expresses his opposition to the views of
the Administration on the naturalization
question, ns defined in the “Le Clerc Let
ter,” and also takes ground upon the slave
trade. This letter of Mr. Douglas’ has
made its appearauce in the columns of the
Richmond Enquirer, by the reouest of
Mr. Peyton. On perusing it, we are un
able to see nny particular difference be
tween the view s ef the distinguished Sen
ator on this subject and those of the Ad
ministration as enunciated in the official
instructions of the Secretary of State to
our Minister at Berlin, the only Adminis
tration enunciation on the subject extant.
As to the subject of the African Slave
Trade, Mr. Douglas regards the prohibi
tion of this traffic as one of the compro
mises of the constitution, without which
that instrument could never have been
made. lie says:
“In accordance with this compromise, I
am irreconcilably opposed to the revival of
the African slave trade, in nny form and
under any circumstances.
Atlantic Telegraph. — The New
York papers contain the prospectus of the
Atlantic Teh graph Company. New pre
ferred stock is to be issued, which is to be
free from all responsibility for the losses
heretofore incurred. The shares arc £5
each, and the whole issue £000,000: ten
i
shillings per share to be paid with the sub
scription and £2 on allotments. The two
governments guarantee an annual income
of £34,000 from the day the cable is laid.
It is proposed first to try tiie raising or re
storation of the cable, and if this fail to
put down a new one.
The New York Herald publishes all the
messages (some four hundred) that were
sent over the Atlantic telegraph, during
the time it was m working order. Among
the number are those of the Queen and of
the President, the private dispatches of the
British government countermanding the
order for the shipment of troops from Hal
ifax and Montreal to India, (by which
dispatch the Herald estimates that $2-50,
000 were saved to the British govern
ment,) the messages between the direc
tors of the company in New York and
ujusc iii iiijuuuu, auu wiu cuuvcisuwuu ue
tween the electricians in the stations at
Trinity Bay and Valeut.a.

Death of Mrs. Gen. Quitman.— 1'iio
Vicksburg Sun of the 26th ult., says:
••We regret greatly to learn of the <
death of Mrs. Quitman, the widow oi Ma
jor General John A. Quitman ”
Death of ex-Sfeaker Davis.—A 'j
despatch from Carlisle, Indiana, aimouu- .
ces the death of llou. J. W. Davis, of !
that State, formerly Speaker-ef the United 1
States House of Representatives, and at
one tithe Minister to China. Mr. Davis j
was .also President of the Democratic c
National Convention which assembled in!'
Baltimore in 1852. and nominated Gener- j F
al Pierce for the Presidency.
An Acricuetcrae State.—Illinois,
it appears, is taking the lead of all the F
other States in agriculture. The index:
of this fact is not alone the grain crops, e
but the number of her agricultural socte- s
lies. There are eighty eight agricultural 2
societies in that State, or twenty more l
than unv other State in the Union.

Phost-ects of Slavery.—In a late I
speech at Augusta, Georgia, Hon. A. II. f
Stephens, one of the most eloquent and
able of Southern men, and who has lately j
retired from Congress, replies to a ques-1 ,~
tiou es to what he thought of public send
ment in regard to slavery. ‘‘The institu- A
lion of slavery is now stronger titan ii was *'
sixteen years ago, when I entered Con-1.1
gress. Nothing improves like it—and it *'
is now fixed, firm and secure in its posi
tion.” 0
The Late Ejection iw Texas.—The
Vicl»bur/i S in of the 26lh ult., discourses
is fol'ows in reference to the result of the
recent election in Texas. It is worthy of
not only being road, but should also bo re
membered :
" We observe that some of our cmtempora
ries are accounting for the defeat which the
Democracy of Tex'as recently sustained in the
election of Gen. Houston, upon the hypothesis
that they made the Congo question the test of
political orthodoxy, and thus brought about
their overt b row; Nothing could be more false.
There is not a scintilla of evidence to sus
tain such a charge, and those who make it
betray a plentiful lark of ignorance touching
the subject, which they *'> i.earneim.v discuss.
The Democratic party of Texas studio.usly ig.
mured the question In their platform, ami du
ring the whole canvass it did not form the
staple of a single di .mission between (he op
posing champions. Houston was warmly sup
ported by several of the most prominent ad
vocates of the foreign slave trade in Mint
State, the delegate to the .Vicksburg Conven
tion among the number ; and au contrabie,
Reynolds was sustained by hundreds who were
known to look with disfavor upon the propo
sition looking to the revival of that traffic.
The fact of the matter is, the slave-trade
question did not enter the canvass at all. if we
except an incidental discussion of it in the
journals and an occasional allusion to it on
the hustings. The Democratic party was not
committed to it; although we believe if the
election could have been made to hinge upon
that issue, and the Democratic candidates had,
after taking a firm am! decided stand in its fa
vor, advocated it with boldness, tempered with
reason and moderation, they would have rout
od their opponents, horse, foot and dragoons
—scattering them like leave*, before the
breath of the gale.
Tfll us that the people of Texas—who stand
so much in need of laborto fell their forests,
build their railroads, and otherwise develop
the resources of their great and growing State,
making it to bloom like a garden and blos
som like the rose—would, if the question was
fairly presented to them, whether they would
adopt that policy which could not, but in
crease their wealth and advance their many
varied interests, (as the revival of the slave
trade certainly would, ) give it the cold shoul
der 1—turn away from it with disapproval !—
We believe no such thing; and until we are
guiivuicvu dial. IJ1U puulUB Ul IUIU ouilt: .MV
lost their reason, and berome dead to theii
own and the interests of those who are to take
their places on the stage of action, we will
still be a doubting Thomas.
The sentiment of Texas is in favor of the
Congo trade, and if an issue was made upon
that question, this fact would be speedily de
veloped. Sensible, reflecting men, everywhere
in the South must see. unless they be wilfully
and perversely blind, that the prosperity of
their section, the formation of future slave
States, and the consequent growth and power
of the South in a political point of view, all
depend upon the revival of the trade under
consideration ; and viewing the matter in this
light, they cannot do otherwise than advo
cate its revival. Texas has ample scope and
vorge enough for one hundred thousand strong,
able-bodied, athletic field hands from the
wilds of Congo and Loango, and think you
that they would oppose the introduction of
such a strong, available held force into their
midst, knowing as well as they do the useful
ness of Cufl'ee , and the advantages derived from
his presence, by the cotton and the corn.—
Man is governed by self interest, in his ac
tions, and unless lie is propelled by some oth
er motive power, he will adopt that policy
suggested by the pocket argument; provided
that always it is conformable to his notions of
honor and loyalty to the State.
Protection in the Territories.—
The doctrine of protection to property in
the Territories is as old us the Govern
ment itself. Every State in the Union,
while in a Territorial capacity, has been
under the control [and direction of Con
gress, and its citizens received its protec
tion. Many years ago, Mason ami-Hun
ter, of Virginia,'Brown and Davis, of Mis
sissippi—in fact, the entire South, with
singular unanimity, have advocated the
loctrine. Mr. Green, of Missouri, said:
“The doctrine of non-interference by Con
gress with slavery in the Territories means,
’hat Congress should neither establish or
prohibit it. That is all. Leave these ques
:ions to the Constitution and the Courts. But
whatever rights individuals have in the Ter
ritories, may demand, and, when demanded,
must have adequate protection.”
Even Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania,
evidently foreshadowed his recognition of
he correctness of Senator Green’s views,
when lie said :
“It is for the courts, and not for Congress,
.0 decide all legal questions that may arise as
.0 the rights of slave properly in the Territo
ries—that is the Democratic policy ; but- it is
lot clear that a necessity will never arise for
he interference of Congie.s to execute a right
lecree Of the courts.”—f Memphis Avalanche.
A number of gentlemen of Mem
iliis comm,'to.I wilii (no cotton Losomss
rnve made up the sum of SI750 ns a
‘Factors Premium,” to he awarded to any
planter or planters of the Stales of Ten
nessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan
sas, who may exhibit at the coming Fair
he finest bale of cotton, as designated be
ow. Each lot of cotton for which a pre
nium is awarded, passes over 10 the fac

Although Kentucky and Tennessee
have gone largely Democratic, at the late j

The Isthmus “Grave Diocins.”—
The Panama Star, tells of one man in the
Chiriqui gold diggings who took out of one
grave in one day, $1,000 worth of idols
and ornaments, amongst which were three
gold plates of the size of dessert plates and
the thickness of a stout tin plate, an eagle
of the size of a span, and many other ani
mals and insects beautifully manufactured.
This is the richest grave that has been
open yet, but none have been opened that
have not produced something. The old
man who made the discovery kept his se
cret for some time, and it is. reported that
he succeeded in accumulating about $4,
000.
Elsewhere we are informed that the
whole of the foot of the Cordilleras, in
Chiriqui, is full of “huucas” (graves) and
that it will take many thousand people du
ring many years before the whole will be
dug up.

A Delicate Job.—A Boston corres
pondent of a Republican paper, himself an

Seward, Curl Schurz and Gov. Banks, Tom
Corwin and Charles Sumner, Eli Thayer
and Joshua R. Giddings, will require
great attention.
He is right The job will be a delicate

performed.
FRCM^HAVAKA.
Progress of the Slave and Coolie Trade.
The New York Herald says:
“By the arrival of the steamer Pajarro
del Oceano at this port, we have advices
from Havana to the 21st. The slave trade
is going on briskly, several cargoes hav
ing recently been landed. A cargo of
300 was landed at Havana on the ISth.—
42,003 Coolies have been delivered alive
at Havana sinfce the commencement of the
traffic, out of 40,301 shipped, and 7,211
perished on the voyage.
Nothwithstanding this addition to the
labor of Cuba, the value of Coolies is
steadily increasing, and latterly the sales
have been made at $400 per head.
William M. Potter, Esq., of
Early county, Ga., has announced hit iself
as an independent candidate for Congress,
in the second district of that State. His
platform is said to be extreme Southern
rights and the re-opening of the African
slave trade.
-Judge W. II. Underwood, of At

ll is the custom for many parents
to take their entire family to-camp-meet

They are to enter the United States via San

-The Commissioner of Patents has is
sued a circular defining the difference between
an engraving which is the subject of copy
right, and a label which is the subject of a
patent. A copyright, costs fifty cents and
gives a monopoly for fifty years—whilst a
patent costs fifteen dollars at d gives a monopo
for but seven years. The Commissioner de
cides that when a production is issued as a
work of art, and is intended for sale, as such,
it ru y be copyrighted! but that when not pro
duced for sale as a work of art, but evidently j
a label, it falls under the patent laws.

-A merchant of Russia announces the
sale, in his warehouses at Odessa, Nicolsieff

( As fades the landscape from (he sight,
When evening shades obscure the light,
So fade, alas ! the joys of earth,
And wither e’er they scarce have birth.
As fades the lovely blooming flow’r,
Frail smiling solace of an hour.
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasures only bloom to die.
As fades our friendship’s early joy,
The seeming gold is half alloy;
That tie that binds the human heart,
The closer drawn, will sooner part.
Thus fades our sweetest comforts here,
Our dearest friends they disappear,
When the loud call from God is given,
“They sleep in death to wake in heaven.”
But there are joys that never fade,
Where these privations ne’er invade,
Where virtue its reward shall prove,
And "triumph in redeeming love.”
