SALINE COUNTY, Aug. 3, ls44. DEAR DocToR; IL has been suggested to |me very frequently that if Gen. Drew could visit our portion of the State, it would be Ivery much to his advantage, as well as thai Iot our party in this county. Although the Idemoerats of Saline will give him a cordial support, they still fell some curiosity to hear Ihlm talk, and see the man, who comes So warmly recommended for their sullrares.. Fer myself, former acquaintance with Gen. Drew enables me, when l hear any questions las to his appearance, to give pretty correct descrlphon ct the man. l usually tell them there IS good deal of the "Archy'' breed about hlm-deep chested, rather low in flesh but nearly all bone and sinow. He has a thln face, not overly handsome, but a good eye, fine head, and altogether, as to phys Ieal proportions, what should call a stout man. Bystout, do not mean that his stature IS great or that he IS all belly and Berkshire. (no offence Dr. Gibson,4 or that lie is inclined ito en bon point, that Is, Aabby and fat, like your brother editor of the Gazette, but he is compactly made-hafd fsted-can endure hardship, and able to to heavy days work. or make a strong sensible speeh, as the occa. slon requires. He must visit this portion of the State, If by any possibility his time will admit of it.
 Byrd has almost ceased to be talked of as a candidate, and would be forgotten but for the ''proppmg up'' which the whigs give him, knowing that their only salvation, or hope, IS in the number of votes he can draw off from Drew. How sadly will they be disap- pointed when the issue is made.

ATTICUS.

OUR PROSPECTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
 A gentleman of this city has politely furnished us
 with the following extract of letter from his friend in Harrisburg, Pa, dated July 30, l844
 (: We had fine celebration, on the lth, beating the whigs both in numbers and enthu- lsiasm.. You would hardly believe me were T to tell you of the spirits of our party since the nomination of Polk and Dallas The de- |mocracy are more perfectly united than have jeyer known them. The whigs are dreadfully ldishearened. They now find their coon ;skins, log cabins, &c., perfectly powerless, land when humbuggery fails with them, they Ieandonothing. Look outfor TWENTY THOU IsAND majority in Pennsylvania for Polk and .Dallas next November. Our State elections 3take place in October, when think it proba- ble our majority will not be quite so large, owing to our candidate for Governor having been unfairly nominated when another man was wanted. But even he will have a large majority, as he Is a man of talents, good sdemocrat, and infinitely superior to the coon candidate. went last week with about sixty Harrisburg democrats to attend a mass meet \ ling at N Northumberland, about sixty miles up s the canal We had capital time, in spite of a breach ih the canal, made by the whigS, to prevent the delegation from going up. Not 3 less than 5000 were assembled in the little place, all in the best spirits, although 1t rained on them most of the time. Each county gave assurances of larger democratic votes ] than they have ever before given. And when \ syou remember that Harrison's majority was sonly 343, you will see how foolish are all s the coon calculations about carrying Pennsyl- vania Last fall when our hopes were far less Upright, we elected our State officers by l2,000 $ flor next fall 10000 is the lowest estimate can admit. On the day of our NoIthum- berIand meeting, the eoons had one of their 5 brag meetings at the town of Columbia, a splace much larger, more easy of access, and ! in much more thickly settled country The s whig papers say they had 10000 at it. A s swhig who was there told me that there. were i about 5000 and democrat says he counted 1900, and tbis vas in c county which gaUe Harrison majority of nearly 5000, All ltheir bragging wont save them, and con sder that man l saw to-day made safe bets when he put up 5000 on Pennsylvania, and another thousand on the general result shope Arkansas is going right as usual
 You have heard { of Native Americanism no doubt, through the sdoings at Philadelphia. It is humbug that s is almost entirely whig, and destined as rapid aa fall as the hard cider and log cahlin nonsense 1.-The most respectable portion of their party arc avowed whigs and abolitioRists. The arowdy portion are the of-scourings of all par Sties, among them are a very few democrat: awho ought to and will be kicked out of oul franks. And now enough of politics, though nowadays 1t is hard to write about any thing selse.n

HELENA, Arkansas, August 6h, I844. Dr. ;. RoRLAND-DEAR SIR: On Saturday last the Democrats of this county held ; meeting for the purpose of responding to tho nomination for Governor, recently made il different parts of the State; and although we had but tbrce days notice, t was the larges jcolleetlon of Democrats have ever witness jed in the county. After the organization oI lthe meeting, the committee, Sixteen in num- ber,) which had been appointed for that pur- bose, after short absence, reported series |of resolutions, cordially approving ol tie no animation of Gen. Thomas s. Drew, as oui Icandidate for Governor, which were unani- |mopsly adopted by the meeting. After the Iadoptlon of the reports of the committee Judge Tollison addressed the meeting with hls accustomed eloquence and ability, in . speech of some half hours length Aflei he had concluded, inyoluntarlly looked around and listenedfor the usual call of tsCol IHanly,o But To! ssthe danqb eloquenee of numbers" was arrayed against him-hs .spo- litlcal armo is sunk into the oblivion of his Wh(g nomination, there to smother, and smo- |thering to rot, and rise no more.''
 Gen. Byrd was here on the 1th of July, land, as am informed, attempted to make ( speech; but his hearers numbered only abou l5 or 20, and some 10 or 12 of them were
 Whgs from hc State of .NissiSsippi,
 'phe truth is, sir, have not heard of but len Byrd men" in~tlds county, and five ol them are whigs, four of them arc "Tylel men," and one (doubtful) democrat, and 1t Is my opinion that if the political Hyena of the 'sFimes and Advocate" would send each of them copy of his filthy sheet, from now until the election, Gen. Byrd would not gel "a single vote in this county.
 Yours, truly,

 me deceased was born ill North Carolina; remo- 3Vea Wth s parents al an early age to the vicinity 3ol Columbia, Tennessee; where, his father dying, the lion 4. 0. ?. Niehosan, became his guardian. After receiving tolerable education, he went 10 3ihe printing business, which occupation lie followed I ih Columbia, Nashville, and Pulaski, Tennessee, S9htii the early part oi the year l84i at which time 3!e removed 10 Athens, Alabama. There he pl6- slished and edited spirited newspaper until the lat ster part ot the year lsi3. He then commenced the sstudy ot the law, was licensed to practice in May ;is44. Shortly after this time, he removed to Ar. kansas, and settled for a while in Bradley county
 but finding the county too new and unsettled to af. ioTd business, he came to the city of Little Rock intending to devote part of his time to printing and bart to the study of the law until prospects opened lin his location
 Thus, was young man of fair promise, stricken blown in the prime of manhood, while laboring to ht himself tor future usefulness, and standing in s8 IcIety He had high earthly hopes and often eXuled I'm the prospects which the natural anticipation of Hong life, and its a!luripg bldadishments afford the mind of the rising young man.
 lie came to Arkansas in quest of fortune and
 ane. But alas! he found straneer's grave at the threshhold of his career. Here, as the tender grass by the nntimely frost, he was cutdown in the fresh ness oi life, and all his earthly prospects blgbted
 put lie was not unprepared for his fate. In his efforts for worldly things, he had not neglected to make preparat on for change of existence. Prior to March, 1874, he was skeptca in religion yet an amiable and kind hearted man. About that time he made profession of religion and joined the Metho- dtst Episcopal Church; after which, he was quite exemplary.
 He died calmly and resigned composedly bidding
 the e. few friends that stood about him, tr6teeR and telling them he was going to Heaven His death was, Indeed triumphant, and his situation is now doubtless far better than all the honors of earth eyer coaia nave made It. Communicated.
