^White River township, have been selected to

the Associates, we have no hesitancy in de

Aigned them. The cliques that too often con

intlemen, as Associates, a large majority of
ic people of the county will be well pleased.

i Proceedings of the County Court of
Prairie County, Arkansas.
W ■ are indebted Jo Hon. W. J. Rojers. for
til ■ following synopsis of (he proceedings of !
iho County Court, on Monday the 24tli ult:
The first business of the Court was to select |
two Associates to assist the County Judge in i
holding his Courts. There being eight or ten i
Justices nre.-ent, they proceeded to an elec
tion, which resulted in the selection of G. M.
Conner, of Caroline, and Simeon Horne, of j
While River township as Associates.
idle Court then proceeded to pass upon Sev
ern I road petitions, reports, &c.
It was oidered by the Court that the clerk 1
forthwith issue his venire directed to the
Sheriffof the County, notifying the requisite
number of Grand Jurors—they being selected
by the Court—to serve at and during the next
May term of the Circuit Court.
The Courtafter considering the unsafe con
dition of the County Jail, and being satisfied
that it is important that a new one should he
erected, ordered that the Sheriff put up notices
in each township in the County, notifying the
several Justices of the Peace, that at the
April term of the Court, a County tax will
be levied for liie erection of a jail at tlie
county seat.
There was no other business of much im
portance transacted, except the appoitftmert
of eighty two Road Overseers, and tlie follow
ing Justices of the Peace were instructed to
'apportion hands in the various townships, viz:
White hiver—II. P. Vaughan.
Caroline—A. 15. Gandy.
Prairie—W. K. Raulston.
Centre—C. Howell.

(gy The U. S. mail packet Sam. Hale.
Capt. C. W. Coles, passed up this morning,
bound for Jacksonport. Her officers furnished
us with late papers, i’he Hale will be down

The U. S. Mail packet Fortune, Capt. |

returned Thursday morning.
er The Return, Capt. Riley Jones, passed
up Monday evening, bound for Augusta.
West Point and Searcy Landing, and returned
on Tuesday night. The Return, leaves
Memphis to-morrow evening, and is due here
Monday afternoon.
The Return had one of the finest trips
of the season. The passenger list both way.,
was a perfect jam. Capt. Jim Booker, her
clerk, furnished us with full files of late pa
pers.
The Pioneek U. S. Mail Line.—We
clip the following notice of this line from the
Memphis Ledger:
The fast running passenger packet, City of
kKnoxville,having been purchased by Capt. .las.
Timms, especially for the Black river
trade, is now plying regularly between Poca
hontas and Jacksonport, connecting at the
latter place with the White river mail line for
Napoleon. Memphis, and New Orleans. The
City of Knoxville, also connects at Pocahon
tas with the daily stages for Iron Mountain
Railroad to St. Louis, thus affording great fa
cilities for shippers and travelers, and for
which Capt. Timms is entitled to the support
and patronage of the public.
(£5?”The Memphis packet Evansville, Capt.
A. Baird, passed up Saturday evening, and re
turned from Jacksonport on Monday. Her
clerk, Newberry Gibson, has our thanks for
files of papers. The Evansville had a fine
trip, and as usual, made quick time. She is
due again from Memphis to-morrow evening.
Hamm New Orleans packet Europa, Capt
Thomas L. Bailey, passed up yesterday morn
ing, bound for Jacksonport. She put off a
heavy freight at our landing. Thomas M.
Gibbes, her clerk, furnished us with files of
late papers.
or We neglected to announce last week
that the steamer John Briggs will not return
to White river. She has been bought by a
Mobile Company, and will hereafter run on
the Alabama river.
A Word to tlte Afflicted*
Tile Nervous Tonic is now regarded by all
scientific men to be superior to any prepara
tion ever before presented to suffering humani
ty, as by its corroborating influence on the
system the susceptibility to disease is lessened,
and to those pre-disposed to repeated attacks
of chills, fever and ague, or any kind of fever
this remedy should by all means be used, and
to those residing in miasmatic districts where
diseases of this character are always incident
to the climate they should never be without it.
Cholera, Diarrhea, Bloody Flux, etc.,
etc.—There is no disease that prostrates hu
man beings In so short a lime and that renders
the system so unconscious of the remedies
when applied as these; and it therefore be
hooves all persons who value their lives
dearer than anything else remember that “ de
lays are dangerous.” As soon as you feel the
slightest symptom of disease call for a bottle
of Sledge’s Cholera or Diarrhea Syrup, oue
dose of which if taken in time will relieve
you. Remember, this is no cunningly devised
humbug, as we have the evidence to prove the
fact. Ail we ask is a fair trial. For coughs,
colds, as*lima, bronchitis, consumption, etc.,
use Dr. Sledge’s Hoarhound Pectoral. All the
above are for sale at the Drug Stores and' Upon
enquiry may be found in all the towns and
villages. See advertisement. sep4

Capt. ConniE of the Yacht Wan
derer.—We are requested to state that
during the late investigation of the Wan
derer case before the U. S. Commission
er. Mr. C. A. L. Lamar informed Mr.
Collector Boston—who, as agent of the
government, had charge of the prosecution
— on the written authority of Captain Cor
rie, that if the prosecuting attorney would
not subject him to imprisonment, he would
come forward and answer all charges
against himself or vessel, giving bonds in
whatever amount the government might
require. Mr. Boston desired to consult
with the prosecuting attorney, who declin
ed to "ive the required assurance; in con
sequence of which Capt. C., unwilling to
subject himself to incarceration in the com
mon jail, has not, up to this time, surien
dered himself into custody. Me think it
proper to make this statement in explana
tion of Capt. Corrie’s|posilion. .-[Savannah

PROM WASHINGTON.
“ Exosis,” the Washington correspon
dent of the Memphis Jlppcal, writing un
der date of the 25th u!t , says:
W e mijht look upon the present ses
sion of Congress as one which is to serve
as a point, at which commences a new era
in the history of our country. Though it
is a short one, yet rapid strides are being
taken toward that point at which our
“ weal or woe” is determined. From the
shortness of the session one could expert
but little to be accomplished, but the
foundations upon which are to rest mighty
structures, or else to crumble beneath the
weight of those edifices, aro being laid
with much rapidity, yet much care and
foresight are exercised. The scheme of
building a Pacfic Railroad has been well
discussed pro and con, and now is only
laid aside for a short time for the purpose
of allowing the introduction of other bu
siness which not only concerns our do
mestic interests, but also effects materially
our foreign policy. Steps have been ta
ken in the Senate to secure the acqui
sition of the island of Cuba. Yesterday
Mr. Slidell, from the Committee on For
eign Relations, to which had been refer
red the bill making appropriation to facili
tate the acquisition of the island of Cuba,
reported the spftie bScF wrmout amend
m*>n!. «ft1d recommended its passage.
This bill is accompanied by an elaborate
report, going into a history of several
statesmen who have expressed views fa
vorable to the acquisition of this island.
The correspondence of Jefferson, Madi
son and Monroe, anu also the official cor
respondence nf John Q. Adams, Messrs,
ninv. MiH’linnan IVfnir.vnnrl F.vprptt. was
quoted at some length. This report was
discussed by Messrs. Mason. Seward,
Bayard, Foote, Toombs and Hale. On
motion of Mr. Slidell, the bill was made
tlie special order of business at 1 o’clock
on Monday next. It is hardly necessary
to say that the bill and reports meet with
the condemnation of the Republicans.
If rumors are worth anything, it will
not be necessary for the Senate to pass a
bill for purchasing this island, if our Sen
ators and Representatives are willing to
demand redress for insults offered to this
Government.
The report that Spain has refused to
recognize our Minister is beginning to be
nrculated in Washington, nnu with many
receives full credit, if this should be
true, it is useless for this Government to
rdopt any friendly measures for the ac
quisition of this island. since Spain has
violated the friendly relations that existed
between the two governments; and all
that is necessary is to prepare to take it
iji et armis.

The Annexation of Mexico.
From the Liverpool Post, .January 8.]
Mexican politics are really nearer En
glish interests. President Buchanan pres
ses for the S3,000,000 owing to United
States citizens by the Mexican Govern
ment; and its he is willing to lake pay
ment in kind, in the shape of annexa
tions, the leading journal asks: Is not the
right of England to interfere and seize
much more evident, in the measure of the
£12,000,000 claimed by British residents;
and as we will not annex, but will rather
let our subjects be robbed, ought we to
permit the Washington Cabinet to pro
ceed further ? It is a delicate question,
no doubt; but clearly Mr. Buchanan sees
his way, and will not be estopped by our
diplomatic scruples. To our apprehen
sion it appears that the British and Amer
ican interests are identical, and that the
sooner Mexico, as a Government, is
“ improved off the face ot the earth” the
better for civilization in general, and the
Mexicans in particular. Manifest desti
ny is taking the Yankees southward, and
it is in vain that our official statesmen at
tempt to arrest it. Bui wer-Claytoa treat
ies inevitably turn out sheer waste paper,
and the truth seems to bo that our diplo
macy in that quarter of the world is based
upon nothing sounder or honester than a
prejudice against and a jealousy of the
civilizing and trading American.
The Mexicans have had a fair trial be
fore all the world ; they cannot govern
themselves, as they confess in endless civil
war; and the only national question is—
shall a country, which was once a great
and wealthly empire, be left to be laid
waste in interminable internecine strife?
Are we prepared to say to a people such
as those of the United States—thus far
shall ye go, and no farther?
--
A Severe Operation.—A young man
whose leg had been broken in California,
and set so bunglingly that the bones would
not unite, writes to bis ^father at Richmond,
Va., tile following account of a severe op
eration by which the difficulty was reme
died : —
An incision seven inches long was made
upon the inner surface of the leg. then an
other at right angles; the flesh was care
fully dissected from the bone thoughoul
that extent, so as fully to expose the frac
tuie, &c. Tlie bones were pried apart,
and eight pipces of bone of different sizes
removed. The ends were then well
scraped, and after drilling six holes, three
silver wires were introduced to bring and
hold the ends together. The operation
was a severe one, but I bore it without
taking chloroform. I bad suffered so much
with the ieg, and being anxious to get well,
I could have stood any sort of operation.
It is now thirty-five days since the opera
tion, and I shall get up to-day week—con
fident this time that ail is right, for the bout
has united and all i3 firm.”
--
Organization eor Arizona—The
bill for the organiza'ion of a Territoria
government for Arizona is about to be
reported, and will no doubt pass. The
first Governor of the Territory will proba
bly be Major Ben. McCulloch. It is sta
ted that an emigration company for Ari
zona has been organized, with suilabh
means for developing the mineral re
sources of the country and for defense
against the Indians. Such an association
under proper management, may do mucl
to promote the spaedy settlement ant
prosperity of the Territory.

Cotton—The market yesterday was on the
whole quiet though Good Middling Cottons
and Uplands were held at siiiFrates, while til*
lower Cottons arc of nominal value. Gooi:
Cottons are very scarce in our market, while
there is a large accumulation of poor, staineb
and dusty Cottons that are entirely neglected.
Some small lots of choice Good Middlings
were reported to us at 12c, but we do not think
any advance has been established, and we
shall thorefore continue our former quotations
