 Extract Of letter from an intimate friend of Df. Chapman, in Independence county. dated sth inst, to another in tuis place.
 You will perceive that Dr. Chapman has accepted the nomination for Governor, by the April Convention, He was induced to take this course, from considerations coll nccted with our principles and party. He could not avoid believing that third candi- date of any strength, would be fatal 10 our success al the October election. Nothing will induce Df. Chapman 10 recede from his present position. ! ou are, no doubt, aware that his vasciIation heretofore may have the effect of injuring him to some small extent, but not sufficiently 10 affect his prospects, unless Byrd should makea grcatcrsplIt among the Democracy than l now believe he can. Indeed, believe Ae will get more votes from the Wings than tfom the Democrats.
 "Thc Wings in this quarter are much dis cumGted hy the iate nominations, and ieels l am certain, like they were badly beaten.
 a I ELL will sustain himself before the peo- pie better than Conway could have done, al tho no man sustained better character ill this portion,of the State than the latter gentle mau. have heard from many of ourlaends in the northern counties, W lQwere not repre- sented in the Conven6oI@and, up to this time, have heard no dissatisfaction with the nomr-aGons, from any quarter, except from Byrd l presume, from what can learn oi his course in the last Convention, that il k impossible for him to do Us much harm.
 '' l am much pleased at Ashley's being on the Electoral ticket, for he IS certainly the most talented man in our ranks. Say 10 him that he must visit the Northern counties be- fore the election. il possible He can do him- self and the party more good in this quarter, than in any other portion oi the Statet
 It has been slated here that Yell Is in favor of Byrd do not believe it.''
 O. We have only one remark to make upon the foregoing extract and that is relation to the ru- nor that Gov. Yell is in favor of Byrd Ehe writer is right in not believing it. We speak positively, adyiscdly and by authority, when we say that Gov Yell is not only mol in favor of Byrd; bal thai no man is more opposed to him, or more condemns his disorganizing course Ne have no doubt Bgrd start cd the false report himself; for believe him to be unp.neipled enough to.say or do any thing however meah for his own adYaqeemet.

To our friends, and others with whom our word will pass, in that region of country, We take pleasure in commenting Dr. Skinner, as gentle man of great worth, and Dentist of great skill Where he is known his work sufficiently speaks for him; but among strangers we have deemed this no- iice simple act of justice well to those whoneed the services of Dentist, as to him who s 50 well qualified and prepared to perform them

INuNDA1IoN OF WHirE RUER,-A gentlemen at BatesviIe, writing to friend in this place, on 8h inst, says:
 ' White River has been higher at this point than since '26, and few miles below here, t has been higher than for twenty years. l. has done much damage, removed nearly all the fences, ruined much wheat, oats, and corn. that was before very promising, and, in many instances, has washed the farms almost bare of soil, while on others sand-banks and depos- its of other kinds have formed which iniure them much, and make them quite unsie6tly. Our farmers, on the river, cannot, without much industry, make more lhis season than will be necessary for their support

TEMPERANCE JouRNAL.-We heartily recon mend to our friends this useful and energetic litr print. If there were other merit attached 10 il than the advocacy of cause good and glorious. would willingly extend to il our aid and best wishes-bat we have the pleasure of knowing thai while doing justice to the work tself we can admire the good sense, and philanthropic feelings which actuate the editor. Dr. Dodge is indeed well cal culated by his mildness, gantemanly department and popular manners 10 advance the work he has undertaken.
 Its recently improved form is an earnest that the people of Arkansas do not intend that he shall l n his enterprise for want of their cordial support
 The returns from the Virginia elections are not yet complete. Ne expect complete returns, in time for our next paper; and will then lay them before ourreaders. The limited returns which have reached us shew Whig gain; and we'bave serious appre- heisions tbat we have lost the state in the State elections.
