VIRGIL A. STEWART.

The Little Rock Advocate, in approba- ting the remarks ofthe Recorder in relation to this individual, says that his Murrel pamphlet has too much of the 's last words and dying confession' style to receive his credence. We have hitherto taken but little interest either in Stewart or his book; but the feverish excitement he has created in Mississippi, attaches some importance to every circumstance connected with the in- dividuai, and we feel it duty to publish every fact, for the information of distant friends, which may come to our knowledge. We have now before us a letter from a gentleman in Denmark, which states s'that Stewart and Murrel lived two years in that vicinity within two and half miles of each other, before and at the time the great trip was taken,' and that they were ''both strangers at Estanauly.v This clrcum- stance is well known here, but may not be generally known broad.--Randolph Re- cordcr.

CALLAo, .4ugatsf l24, 1885

/
 CALLAo, August I24, 1885. cannot send you any interesting news. gThese unhappy countries are constantly in a state of revolution. Demagogue succeeds demagogue continually, and the result is demoralization and impoverishment to an astonishing degree, ane the countries which have enriched the world, are, in conse- quence of bad government, fast relapsing to state of misery, which, to be estimated, must be seen. The sources of inexhaust- ible wealth, the mines, are most shameful ly neglected. The hands which should be employed in washing them, are employed in civil wars, fighting neither for principles nor liberty. but III the cause of any individ- ual who has art sufficient to create party, and who has boldness sufficient 10 seize the relns ef government, in defiance of all law or justice.
 Above seven months since, desperate fellow, Brigadier General, named Sala- very, at the head off two hundred men, (du- ring the absence of the President in the in- terlor,) left the Castles of Callao, with the command of which he was entrusted, enter ed Lima, city of some 60 or 70 thousand souls, marched to the Palace, ejected the civil officers of government, and declared himself, pro tenn. Supreme Chief and Pres ident of Peru, aud what Is more, he has still possession of the castles at this place, allth cities on the sea board, and has an army of about , thousand troops, thousand of which are encamped at Bellavista, which IS about l-2 miles from this place; and I assure you, better clad or better disciplined troops 1 have never yet seen. This man Is certainly born to make a noise in the world. A more determined looking devil I never saw. Constantly among his troops, drilling day and night, by day in an extensive plain, and at night in the halls ef az ancient ision- astery In Bella Nista.
 The President has collected an army. and h conjunction with St. Cruz, the Pre- sident of Bolivia, IS marching 10 encounter him. As matters stand, the odds are in favour of Saavery.

BRANCH BANK OF THE UNITED STATES AT NASHVILLE,

We arc authorized to state that the bu- siness of the office of the Bank of the U 5. at Nashville, except so far as respects the collection of the debts due .a the office, is closed and that no ne1e business. what ever, will be tranacted at the office.
 We learn that the amount now due this branch is not more than 100000 dollars, and that the whole of this sum, 1t Is con6- dentlY expected, will be paid by the 1st day of March next.
 Although we have been and still are op- posed to the United States Bank, we can- not let this opportunity pass, without bear ing our testimony 10 the able, and, at the same time, accommodating manner, in which the affairs of the Nashville Branch have been managed, under the superinten- dence of it's indefatigable President and Cashier, and its enlighte ned Board of Di- rectors. = NashriHe Rep.

THE DIFFERENCE

Were It not fer the belief that General Jackson has the power to transfer his friends 10 the support of Mr. Van Buren, hundreds and thousands among us, who are now called Van Buren men, would renoance the " Magician" at once. But few voters, comparatively speaking, believe Mir. Van Btren a suitable man for the Presidency. still they are nominally forhims because they think he will be elected, as the President is electioneering for him. Now let us see how the matter stands. Since the Baltimore Convention, elections have taken place in the six following States, which used to go for Jackson, and they have all resulted ad- verse to Mi Van Buren's interests, viz:

MIR. WOMACK.---Mr Midgery in the war, was of opinion that the wounded pi- geons were known by their fluttering, and if his rule be adopted, Mir. Vifomack's manly and Catonic letter has told at the White House. The palace organ deYotes two whole columns to Mr. Womack and his let ter--calls him Nulilier, which the Globe thinks 1t doing him all the mischief that words can inhict, and argues the Presidents right to intermeddle as he has done, with the Legislatures of Tennessee and Alabama. The Globe then has the grace to acAnow- ledge the truth of MT. Womack's state- ments, and to admit that the President did endeayor to influence the deliberations of State Legislatures-s fit can persuade the people-eyen the bllndest devotees ofJack- sonsm-that this was right, proper, legiti- mate, innocent, let it do so. The ancient feelings and sentiments of the American people must have been totally subverted, if success crown the effort.

The Press is so recently introduced into the Turkish empire, that one would hardly expect to find it's conductors there in the line of political preterment. It appears, however, from the following paragraph from a foreign Journal, that such IS the fact:
 The Austrian Observer announces that the Historiosrapher of the Empire. the chief editor of the Turkish Journal at Con- stantinope, has been appointed Ainbassa- dor to Persia. to compliment the Shah on the occasion of his accession 10 the throne.

TrtensiUe Frauds. We have been some time apprised that extensive frauds had been ptactised in entering Iaiid at the land office in New Orleans, but did not know until recently that they extended beyond entries in the parish Of Point Coupee.-- During the past week, however, informa- ton has reached us on which we rely, that these frauds extend over the parishes of Point Coupee, West Baton Rouge, iber- vile, Lafourche, Interior Terrebonne, Ayo- eylles, Rapide, St. Landry, Lafayette, St. Mary and St. Martin.
 Justice to the Registers of the Land Of fees and Receivers of Public Monies at New Orleans and Opelonsas, requires that we should state that we have not heard an imputailon against their integrity. They have, as we believe, beer induced 10 pass forged claims, sustained by perjury. So extensive have these frauds been, as our information induces us to believe, that there IS not an acre of land west of the Missis- sippi, and south of Red River, that has not been covered.
 "s.umor, with her hundred tongues,' ventures to pronounce that some deputy surveyors have figured largely in this nefa- rious business. It is added that Col. Will Hams, the Surveyor General, with discre- tion which reflects much credit on him, has been inquiring into these doings, and will render every assistance in his power to de- tect the culprIts, and enable the govern ment to annul every fraudulent entry.
 It is highly probable that our representa- lives in Congress from the first and second districts, and Senator Porter possess some information on this subject. If they do, their characters for integrity are guarantees that t will not be withheld from the proper authorities at iYashington.--.St. Fraacis- riHe Journal.
