 persuade myself have 1t in my power to tender the services of an animal that is en- titled to the favorable consideration of expe- !rlenced sportsmen, judicious breeders and
 refined connoisseurs. Extraordinary size,
 beauty of color, and sickness of coat, high
 form and superior action, the renowned per
 formances of his progenitors, Crusaders own ennobling achievements, together with the
 unquestloned aud amque8tionabte pusitg ofhis
 blood, embolden me to recommend this
 horse, and to expect a 1attering decision from an enlightend public.
 Crusader is good chesnnt, 16 hands 3 in-
 ches high, standing on shoes. To all, who
 have seen him, { might rest confident that
 his appearance, without word from me, was
 sufficient recommendation. To gentlemen
 who have not seen him, and who, from re- lmoteness ofsituation cannot see him, 1 woultl briefly say, he Is excellent in all the points
 of the real courser; capacions, we'll placed tapered shoulders !; strong and well turned hips, muscular arms and thighs, broad strong hooks, clean fat legs, and precisely the right set of the hind legs, and neat pasterns stand ing on hoots of the best form and nate1lei. He will stand, the present season, at, Colum- bus, Crawford county, one mile below Van Buren, and will be let to mares at Gs5 ia the season eaeA mare, .Sg Sss56 oat. $50 to insure. ] Incasc the mare is traded before she is. .ascer- tained to be with foal, the insurance money will be required and III all cases of insi- rance the money is to be paid so soon as the mare is ascertained to be with foal, and 50 cents in each case is to be paid tothe groom. The season will commence the 10th of Feb ruary and end on the lst of July. Pastur- ! age is provided for mares from Q distance, grdfis--and they canbe corn-fed, in separate lots, if required, at one dollar and twenty
 five cents per week. An excellent groom VI H
 attend the horse, and every possible care
 will be taken to prevent accidents and es-
 capes, but will not be liable for any. 1 PEDIGREE.

hereby certify that the sorrel stallion now in the possession of the Rev. II. NJ. Cryer, and by him to be carried to Tennes- see, was bred by me, and goaeen hy Sir Ar chic; his dam, my faVorite and celebrated race brood mare Lottery, by the imported Bedford, her dam the imported mare Anva- lina by Anvil, out of Col. O'Aelly's celebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion E. clipse. See Turf Register for the pedigree of Sir Archie and Anvalina, in full. Lottery was fine sorrel approaching to chesnut, strong and well proportoned with fine action and admirably calculated for tue turf.as . brood mare, and in her day had no equal en the Charleston turf. l ran her twenty races, many ofthem mile heats, in which she was always successful, having never been beaten but once, which was tho first race she ran, 7 mile heats, and then by accident.
 She proved a first rate breeder after her brilliant success on the turf, as an evidence of 1t, her progeny would now command upwards of twenty thousand dollars. Her ioals gen- erally arc strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed well from. ? to 4 mile heats. Crusader l consider to be the largest and best of her sons; indeed doubt very much whether he has his equal in England or America. His matchless size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rec ommend him to the notice of all well-inform- ed breeders. 3
 At 3 years of age trained him with Ariel, of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover at Charleston, but 1t was not offered, and 1 did not run him tbatsaasen. During the whole of this train
 ing with Ariel, there was no time that he did not evinee decided superiority oyer her.,
 At i years old ra.l him at Manchester for silver cup, 2 mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Mnitifiora, and Col. Richardsoas Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, tho course being very wet and soft, and he carrying 10 lbs. over his weight, which was won by sally Taylor; and the second heat he distanced Sally Taylor and Multifiora, and the third heat Sir Archie Junior.-He then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in T contest of 4 mile heats, beat her in fine style. at two heats, his rider not being able to com mand him in either heat, after going 610 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter- esting one fo the public, and on that day he was. in my opinion, not egualled by any horse in America; his stride when extended was from 9 to 26 feet.-During the same week he met Ariel again in the iian6icap race 3 mic heats, the stewards giving her I2lbs. in riding, evidently showing in their opinions his decided superiority over her; with this advantage. Twas induced to run Ilira, know ing that hersspoed could be brought up to him, and that ] had nothing to fear from the contest but an accident. unfortanately struck in soft part of the course within tjf'O yards of tho starting post, from which he re- tlceivea an injury in one fore ieg and did not run out the heat.

The controversy which has existed for some time between zMeasrs. Thos. Murray IT. and Wnl. Nick Ball having been amicably adjust ed, duty to both gentlemen requires detail of the circumstances leading to, with the man. ner of adjustment eft.
 Mir. Murray having heard in the year ls:s32s that Mir. Me k Bali had made charges against him, derogating from his standing as gentle man, published in the '' Arkansas Advocate card denouncing Mir. Nick. Ball--to which card the latter replied with much severity through the columns of the ssArkansas Ga zette.n Mir. Murray again in the ssArkan- sasAdvocate' denounced Mr. Nick Ball. The parties having recently met, for the first time since the publication above alluded to, I, on the part of Mr. Murray demanded from Mir Nick Ball withdrawal of the charges had made, together with his authority for so ma king them and also a retraction of all the objectionable matter contained in his note ,; which said demands having been fully and satisfactorily complied, I hereby withdraw every charge made against Mr. Nick. Ball which had a tendency to impair his standing as a gentleman.

A good many really supposed that the question of slavery was a serious disussion among us. But i have been active in keeping our true position fairly understood.

VOLCANO was got by Stockholdcr, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid. by Ratray, of whom Mr. ]. C. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, aud that she was ssa friend to . poor man in . strange country''--nffer losng on all his other horses, he conld, with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for Q four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated marc laid of the Oaks. by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia; his g.grun- dam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by imported Shark, g. q. grandam by Rockingham, z. z. 2. grandam by Gallant, E. g. 2. 2. grandam by True Whig, 2. 2. r. g. z. grandap by Regulas.
 Ofstockholder, ' EoLcAao' s sire, 1t IS unne- cessary to say aught; he is too well known as 2 racer and | stallion, to require the prop of 2 long pedigree. Ii may not be amiss, how lever, to state that he was got by old Sir Ar- chy, and his dam by imported Citizen, the best blood that America can boast. Ratray, the s'fe of tolcano's dam, was by the import ed horse Clifden, his dam by I7itzpartner, his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brim- iner cut of Nr, Peyton Kandolph's celebrated mare Lovely Laea.
 Imported Spread Eagle wns got by yolun- teer, his dam by Highiiyer, grandam by En- ginaor, out of the dam of Bay Malton and 'reislTsT ais was got y Gadr, out oi tile Lass of the Mill, by Old Traveller.
 Spread Earle is unpopular with many sportsmen, but would ask what horse has better pedigree, and what imported horse has got as many capital facersl # is enough to sa},, that Spread Eagle wasthe sire of fhe Naid of the Oaks, Paragon, Adelins, Red Eye, and Eledenis Eloretta; all winners of severe fotr mile races, eontending with the best horses of Virginia. Floretta made bet ter time over the Washington course than was eyer made before or since, beatinsv. in Ni,ee heafs, Top Gallant, Oscar, First Con- sul and another; running each beat under eight minutes, and the second heat ifl seven minutes and fit T-ewogesconda.

 Dear Sir-You will see, from the papers, that the greater part of this day has been consumed upon the petition of Michigan. In order to understand this controversy cor rectly, you must examine closely into the main question under consideration. She as- sumes the ground, (that is, Michigan), that she can be an independent State, aoahout tte consent qf Congress. This was the question incidentally alluded to to-day. All her diff ficulties grew out of her boundaries. But she will certainly be admitted this session, on terms and these terms will be, modii- cation of her southern boundary. But that admission will not take place before our Con- sttution gets here. ! shall expect it during the first week of February. have assured our friends, that our constitution will be here by that time. think it necessary to lnalse this nasty explanation, for fear of misconcep- ton in Arkansas.
 Tile probability is, that we shall have q war with Fsaaee. Mr. BARTON, our late re- presentativc to that kingdom, is expected here hourly i; and, when he gets on, a special inessage is expected from the President. The French Charge has made his bow, and IS on the eve of leaving the United States for France. So we go.
