Trtt Harter's Ferry Riot.—Wc
give place in our columns to the tele
graphic news in reference to the recent
riot at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Brown,
the devil incarnate, who seems to have
headed the treasonable outbreak, will, we
hope, receive his just due—he should be
hung ns high ns Hainan, and his aiders
and abettors, such as Gerritt Smith and
his whole trnin, should he made to follow
suit, as soon as the breath leaves Brown's
body. Our exchanges very justly declare
that this was the most outrageous affair of
the kind that ever occurred in the United
Slates, in which the lives of not only men,
but that of women and children would
have been jeopardised. Let the laws be
executed, and not one of them ullowed to
escape.
-... .
Wc have just had an interview with Dr.
Barnes and W. K. Baker, Esq., two prominent
Democrats of St. Francis county, Arkansas,
and they inform us that Douglas has not a par
ticle of strength in that region of the State.
They Inform ns that Hie Democracy of Eastern
Arkansas not onlv express a determination to
oppose the nomination of Douglas, but not to
support him should h" bo the nominee.
[Memphis Avalanche, 21st.
The sentiment is universal with the de
mocracy in this section, that the nomina
tion of Douglas would be an outrage not
to be submitted to by the South, or the
Union. A few papers in Arkansas are
supporting the “ Little Giant,” but they
certainly do not represent the feeling of
the mass of the people, even of their im
mediate county or vicinity. To compel
the people of a slave State to swallow
Douglas’ heresies, is too strong a dose.
The people of the South have heard enough,
seeu enough, and suffered enough, to en
sure their- hearty opposition to all such
political tricksters. We sue a paragraph
going the rounds asserting that our U. S.
Senators, Messrs. Johnson aud Sebas
tian, are favorable to Douglas’ nomina
tion for the Presidency. The people of
Arkansas would, no doubt, be glad to hear
from them. Arkansas is not a Douglas
State, even if her U. S. Senators should
bo for him. We cannot believo them to
be even tainted with the Douglas mania.

Death of IIon. John Y. Mason.—A
recent arrival from Europe announces the
decease of Hon. John Y. Mason, the
American Minister to France. Mr. Ma
son, as we learn from the New York pa
pers of the ISth, was born in Virginia,
graduated nt the University of North Caro
lina in 1816, from which institution he
received the degree of L. L. D.; adopted
the profession of law, and was a Judge of
the District Court of Virginia; he was a
representative in Congress from Virginia
from 1831 to 1S37; a member of Presi
dent Tyler’s Cabinet ns Secretary of the
Navy; a member of President Polk’s
Cabinet, first as Attorney General, and
secondly as Secretary of the Navy, and
was appointed by President Pierce Minis
ter to France, in which position he was
continued by President Buchanan until his
death. Mr. Muson was n man of gener
ous nature, and his free living and hospi
tality have probably more than consumed
his salary. He leaves a wife and several
children, and ouu of his daughters was
recently married in Paris. Several years
ago, after his arrival at Paris, Mr. Mason
had a paralytic stroke, which now appears
to have been the premoniliomof the attack
of which he died on the 4th inst.
--
Official Vote of Mississippi.—In
this number, says the “ Mississippian,”
will be found the utiiciul vote for State
officers complete, except in the Governor’s
election. From a number of counties no
returns were made to the Secretary of
State, of the result in the Gubernatorial
election, they having been forwarded un
der seal to the Governor to be opened and
counted by the Legislature. We will at
tempt to supply the omission hereafter.—
By these returns it will be seen that the
foremost candidate on the Democratic
ticket leads the foremost Oppositionist
25,105 votes.
A Handsome Majouity.—In the one
hundred and fifteen counties heard from in
Georgia, Governor Brown has a clear ma
jority of 19,072, and a clear gain over
1857 of 9621. The remaining seventeen
counties gave him two years ago a ma
jority of 2,176. The probabilities are
that his majority will reach 25,000. In
the Legislature the Democracy will have
about three to one.
--
One of the most noticeable fea
tures of his (Douglas’) speech was his
declaration '■ that lie would not yield one
iota—one jot—one tittle of his principles
to gain flic Presidency.”—[Gin. Euq,
Then be can never be President; for
the South caiiuot or will not support him
or any other man who holds the odious
uud dangerous doctrines which lie now
avows on the subject of slavery.—[Mem
phis Avalanche. I

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THF.
Prairie County Agricultural Society.
TUESDAY — rinsT »ay.
As Announced Iasi week the Third
I Annual Exhibition of the Prairie County
Agricultural Society opened at the Fair
Grounds in Des Arc, on Tuesday the 18th
inst. On Monday a hpavy rain, accom
panied with a storm, gave unmistakable
indications that the crowd would be small
on the first day; nevertheless a very re
spectable number assembled on the
Grounds at 1 o’clock, p. m.
After the usual announcements and
formalities by the officers of the Society,
Col. O. H. Oates was introduced to the
audience by the President, who proceeded
to address them nboutan hour, in n speech
which was in every point of view eredi
tnble to his head and heart. He demon
strated the great advantages to be realised
from Agricultural and Mechanical Asso
ciations, and urged in an eloquent and
forcible manner the necessity of the culti
vation of the miml to enable man prop
erly to cultivate the soil. His arguments
in support of the agricultural and mechani
cal masses of the country were peculiarly
appropriate—showing that the tiller of
the soil was pursuing a vocation ordained
by Providence, and thntupon his exertions
and prosperity depended the very exist
ence of the human family. After the ad
Ul J . VJI. f f AKIi £H,iUai oil C* 11 amiuuuv/CU
the lists for Wednesday, which closed the
first day.
WEDNESDAY—second day.
The genial rays of an autumnal sun,
with a bracing atmosphere ushered in the
opening of the .■•ecoud day. The fresh
accessions tho previous evening, and in
the morning—the throng upon the streets—
the arrival of vehicles with their precious
freight of lovely women — told plainer
than language can express it, (although
many had propheciud a failure,) that the
spirit of encouraging Agricultural Exhi
bitions was yet predominant in the minds
of tho people of Prairie and adjacent
counties. At 9 o’clock nearly every seal
in the enclosure was filled, and hundreds
were standing, interested lookers-on nt the
proceedings. The second day passed off
satisfactory to all, aud although the crowd
was not as large as that of last year, yet,
we could not discover any less interest
than at previous exhibitions.
THURSDAY—third day.
The weather in tho morning was bright,
cheerful and bracing ; in the afternoon
quite warm, the attendance much larger
than the previous day. Tho crowd of
ladies was larger than even that of pre
vious years. We never despair in any
undertaking upon which our fair country
men bestow their smiles and cheering
presence. This was emphatically the
gala day of the Fair. The display of
stock—the gallant bearing of the various
gentlemen who “ pulled the strings” in
exhibiting harness stock, or showing their
proficiency in “ reining their steeds” as
equestrians, drew forth the acclamations
of the crowd, as each made the circuit of
tho ring.
Although, as we learn, strenuous exer
tions were made to discourage an attend
ance at this, tho Third Annual Fair of
the Society, and various reports were put
in circulation calculated to create unwar
ranted prejudice, still the friends of Asri
cultural Exhibitions have been fully sus
tained, and the utility and practicability
of Annual Fairs, has become a “ fixed
fact” in the minds of the people. Those
who are not members of the Society have
no right to find fault, and we suggest that
every farmer, mechanic, and resident of
the county, come forward, as soon as the
books are open, pay their dollar und join
the Society, and thereby enable them
selves to have a full voice in its manage
ment, at the next Annual Fair.
