CLOSE OE THE F I F T II TOL
BME-* FEW WORDS ABOUT
THE CITWEJf.
With the present number we close the
fli'th year of the Dts Ase CiTiirtr. How
well we have succeeded in the publication
of our paper, crn be judged by the length
of time it has been sustained. We have
received a liberal support in subscription,
advertising and job work—a large ma
jority of our patrons having promptly met
our claims against them. Nevertheless,
our books are encumbered with a list of
delinquents, a few of whom owe us five
years’ subscription.
We are anxious to enlarge our paper.
Having found it impossible to sell at a
fair price, we have determined to push
forward in our enterprise. Ill heal’d),
during the past ten months, has been cur
only reason tor wtsning to dispose oi me
establishment, ami as vve have a largely
increased patronage in ndvertiring, we
are necessarily compelled to enlarge the
Citizen. Wo alia!!, in a few days, order
a large now press and other material.—
This will cost us several hundred dollars,
and our only hope to meet this increased
expense is to collect from those who are
indebted to us. We are compelled to
have the means, and every one who owes
us must pat op by the first of January
next, or they will find their accounts,
notes, &c., in the bands of an officer for
collection. We dislike to patronise offi
cials, either in suing, or being sued—but
justice to ourselves and the sustaining of
our only means lor a livelihood demand it.
To our many friends who have prompt
ly met their pecuniary engagements with
us, we return our most hearty thanks, and
trust that they will continue their patron
age, and thereby sustain n uonvpaper at
this point.
W’ith a hope that each of our ft tends
will send us a new cash patino rub
scniDEH, and that vve may be enabled to
send fortii the Citizen enlarged and im
proved, on the first day of January next,
we shall next week issue the first puiuber
of t!ie Sixth Volume of the Dr.s Arc
Citizen.

VST The Little Rock True Democrat
of the 2Gth lilt., calls us "small fry" and
asserts that in its controversy with us it
has ‘‘touched pitch and been defiled.”— !
The truth is, Dick Johnson has more
than ha can “tote” near his own door, and
this is a short way be ims recently of an
swering grave charges against him and
his cohorts. He has found a Peek near
home that he can't climb over, and is aw
fully "riled” about it. This again ac
counts for Dick's loose habit of abusing
people and talking about being "defiled.”
Dick, you hadn’t ought to make dark in

Dh. Jeptha Fowlkes asd the Tex
as pACiric Railroad.—We find the fol
lowing notice of this gentleman in the ;
Memphis .Avalanche. Those who know ;
tho Doctor hex'., and have enjoyed his;
friendship in n pereonal point of view,,•
know how to appreciate him. As a pub- ]
lie man be >• none lh? les s worthy. Pos- !
sessing indomitable energy, and a full |
knowledge of the • importance of the great .
work be has engaged in, lie has accom
plished for the people of Texas and the
whole country through which the Tailroad ’
is to pass, n task that was conceived im- j
possible. Tlie present generation may j
not fully appreciate his efforts, but those
who live in the lapse of future years will
rise up and “call him blessed.”
The Texas Pacific R:\ilrond will he nn
enduring monument to the praise and
fanie of Dr. Jtptiia Fowlkes and his
compeers. May they, each one of them,
live to see their most sanguine hopes real
ized—the toad completed—themseves
made millionaires —for if tho members of
the company generally possess tho noble
liberality of Dr. Fowlkes, their wealth
would be bestowed upon those who need
and deserve it.
Da. Jeptha Fowlkes—It is with
pleasure we welcome back to Memphis
our fellow-citizen whose name heads this
article. He returns under circumstances
of which he may well J tel proud.
Ouv readers will recollect that about
eighteen months since, we called their
attention, editorially, nnd by articles over
me Bi.'jiJ'uuic vi ». iriuinuu, iu iut viuiiaut
future of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The far-seeing prudence of Dr. Fowlkes
induced him to devote his every energy to
its success. Relying on the truths of the
Company’s statements, and the laws of
Texas giving to it the moat munificent
grants, the Dr. proceeded to New Orleans
where the chief office was located, when
he most unexpectedly found not only that
the corporation was in deep embarrass
ment, but that even the Stute of Texas
was endeavoring to crush its every fran
chise. It was also a house divided against
itself, amid most bitter crimination and
recrimination.
By indomitable energy, at great per
sonal risk of health and life,, by consum
mate tact and sleepless endurance, amidst
evil report and good report, beyond the
most sanguine expectations of his warm
est well-wishers, Dr. Fowlkes has freed
the Company from all difficulty and em
barrassment; has provided for the pay
ment of seven hundred and ninety-seven
thousand dollars of debt; gained for the
Company the suit brought by the State of
Texas for the forfeiture of its franchises;
reconciled all feuds; and placed it in a
position now to realize its brightest pros
pects. Like others of no ordinory mind
m great mid ert a kings, now that the worst
is over he seeks the peaceful retirement
of Home.
lie .is succeeded, we learn, by one of
the most eminent men in the country,
whose commanding position is of itself a
tower of strength, J. Edgar Thompson,
Esq., of Pennsylvania. We hope, how
ever, the services of Dr. Folwkes may be
still preserved to the Company, at least as
to retain him as Vice President, General
Agent, or in some office that would be no
sinecure. His energies, beyond those of
other men, render him most competent (
thereto.
Dr. Fowlkes is on his way to Pennsyl
vania to tender the Presidency to his sue- ,
cessor. Mr. Thompson has already sent
Engineers on to examine and take pre- c
litnmary steps touching the prosecution of
this great enterprise.
We bid Dr. Fowlkes God speed. He
not only deserves a substantial reward L
from tbo stockholders, but the thanks of £
the nation.

Tiie Dr.vtr. up is Aukansas.—There «
is no doubt about it. Ho lias been lately u
seen in Chicot county, where he assisted t<
in a Douglas meeting, made a speech,
and offered resolutions, which were piss
ed. He appeared in his old style, and, e
as usual, called himself Henry S. Foote. 1
How he got into this State nobody knows. '
His commg was heralded by no signs, no •'
earthquakes, no thunder and lightning — '*
not even the brimstone odor proclaimed '
lis advent into our cherished State, lie e
ias been turning up so often, and in so "
naoy different places oflate, that we fear-1
d he would be here next, and Vet hope, u
lie charmer whispered, “perhaps he’ll
kin ns!” But alas! Boohoo! He has (
ceu to Arkansas,and maybe in the State ,

mi from Arkansas. Wo are an unsus- ,
ecling, confiding people out here, and he i j,
Hght get -the Kf-ftef- hand-of-ns,-*nd-lake g

leconretli all devout persons to pray for
or his speedy departure and his long ab- j
ence. Who knows what Douglas and (
he Devil may do yet?—[Helena Stale- t;

lO.OfiO Afuioays.—Col. A. R. Burks, ^
ate of Jackson, Mississippi, delivered a ‘
■peech in Magnolia, on Monday last, in | u
avor of the proposition to re-open the Iu
slave Trade. We did not hear his j1 ‘
pee eh, but understand from those who:0
ltd, that Ire brought to bear some con- ‘
'incing arguments. Tliis is an important | ”
:ubject, and one that the whole South is 1
leepiy interested in. We hope tiie peo-il; 1
>le will go out and hear every sjieech that |111
s made on it. We are for it, and have j11
een for ten years; • which is as far back jte
s we remember to have known anything
bout politics. It is the only thing that .
in be done, winch wjil prevent the local- °[
:ing. and consequently ultimate annihi- el'
tion of the institution of slavery.—

Alabama Roll or Homob.—The fol*
owing revolutionary soldiers are pension*
•rs in Alabama: Thomas Clark, Tusca
oosa county, aged 94 yen rs; Wm. Speer,
lefTerson county, aged 101 years.
In his personal narrative, Thomas Clark
rates that he was born in Lancaster coun*
y. Pa. At the nge of five yeurs, being
eft an orphan, was bound to Mr. McGa*
iee, and accompanied him in his removal
o Chester district. S. C. Entered the
ervice under Capt. John McClure^ and i
narched to join General Sumpter nenr
Kotkj Mount; but before reaching that
place was captured by the tones, and im
mediately carried within trie enemies’,
lines, under the command of Col. Turn
bull. While a prisoner, frecjuent solicita
tions, accompanied with many flattering
inducements, were made tn him to desert)
die cause of his country and join the Brit* j
sh forces ; but he ‘resolutely refused’ them
til. He was en tiled soon to make his i
sscapc and join the American forces. At
separate periods, while in the companies)
jf Captains Frances, Carlisle, and Moses
Riddle, under the command of Colonel
Andrew Pickens and General Green, was j
stationed for several months at Bacon’s
Bridge, on Cooper river, 20 miles above
Charleston, while the British were in pos
session of that city.
At two other periods, under Colonel
Pickens in Captain Robert Currather’s ,
company, was stationed at Fort Independ* ,
ence, on Rocky river, and under, and at:
[lie house of John Norwood, to protect the
frontier from the harassing depredations |
of the Indians.
After the close of the revolutionary war, 1
lie settled in the Abbeville district, S. C. ;
then removed to Elbert county, Ga.; theu j
to Ray county, Term.; and in 1816 re
siuea in jenerson county, aij. m i3>u
he removed into Tuscaloosa county, same
Stnte.
Win. Spear was born on the eastern
shore of Maryland, and commenced his
service in 1790 in Surry county, N. C.,
under Colonel Joseph Williams, and con- i
United it under Colonels Joseph Phillips!
and Martin. Was at various periods in
the service nt Salisbury and Guilford, in
North Carolina and in Virginia. At the
time of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis,
was in active -service in the vicinity of
Wilmington, N. C.
From 1801 to 1821 he resided in K'en
lucky, and then removed to Jefferson coun
ty, Ala.
It is stated that the Grand Jury of
Jefferson county, in which Harper's For- ;
ry is situated, will find indictments against I
several citizens of the North, as accesso
ries to the recent riots. The Abolition
papers are already asserting that the ]
Black Republican Governors will not re- j
“pond to a requisition from Gov. Wise.— |
They ore resorting to quibbles to prove I
that tlie parties cannot be demanded for
trial in Virginia—that the Constitution of
the United Slates provides that “any per
son charged in any Slate with treason,
felony, or other crime, who shall fee from
i list ice, and he found in another State,
sha!I, on demand of the executive author
ity of the State from which he fled, be dr
iveled up to be removed to the Slate ini - !
ng jurisdiction of the crime.” The New j
Turk Tiibune and other Abolition papers .

y contemplates that the party charged
nust have fled out 6f the State making the I!
letuand.—[Memphis Avalanche.

—Gov. Seymour, of New York, address- '
id the Democracy of St. Paul, Minnesota, j
eeently, and in the course of his remarks i
uade a forcible and eloquent allusion to
;ie fact that the Father of his Country
ould have no friend in a Black llepubli
an Convention. Said Gov. Seymour:
You have seen the great men of the
Republican party go up to their JYalional
inventions. Wheiftiie roll of States was
tiled, there was no rnafj there to speak
ir the Stale where Washington was born ; |
lere was no man to answer for the State
here Jackson’s ashes lie ; there was no
an to respond when the land of Sump
r and Marion was called. (Applause.)
Shooting Affray—On Wednesday

The Highest Peak East or the

Shooting Affray in Oxford. Miss.
— A terrible affray occurred at ihe Uni
versity House, Oxford, Mississippi, a few
days since, between a Mr Sanderson and
Walter G. Clark, in which the latter re
received a shot in the breast from a pistol
in the hands of the former. Sanderson
gave himself up to the officers, and was
examined before a juslice and acquitted,
it being proved that he acted in self-de
fense.
