like terrible comets. than ordinary Starr's, con-
tinue to visit occasionally, the Indian country on
onr border, spreading terror and alarm, md CON-
mitting divers of depredations upon their rout.
They were in the neighborhood of Fort Gibson
last week; and man named "Duke' was,arrest-
ed by the Commanding officer at that Post and
delivered over to the Cherokee Council, for har.
boring these offenders. We are informed that
Duke WIS asked why he harbored the "Starrs''
and he replied that he "wns not 50 much afraid to
harbor them, as to not harbor them;' such is the
Tear tfui the people have of these outlaws. Sc.
veral horses have been stolen recently out of the
neghborhood of Fort Gibson; and since the visit
of the "Starr's has been ascertained, there seems
TO he no doubt as to their whereabouts.
Duke states that the Stars have gone towards the
: Washita. We caution our Chickasaw friends to
be on the lookout for these ugly customers.
Information has reached US that the sc scamps
are confirmed villains. They commenced their
career in crime during their youth. Many years
ago, while their fasher lived in the old Nation, a
North Carolina merchant; travelling through that
copntry. stopped coe night at old man Starts, the
4ncxt morning these hopeful youths volunteered to
show him SINGH cut over the mountain and left

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The death Of our highly respected Senator Gov.
Fulton, has caused a vacancy in the U. s. Senate:
and 1t devoves upon the Legislature, which GOV.
venes next month, to fill the vacancy. We have
received returns sufficient to satisfy US of the DO.
iltical character of that body--it will be demo.
cratic by large majority. Therefore there ca n
be no doubt that the choice of that body will fall
upon good sterling democrat. Who that will
be, is yet veiIed in uncertainty-enclosed in the
womb OF futurity. Acting the organ of our
party in this section of the State, we will with
proper Difference to the wishes and opinions of
our brethren in otheI parts, recommend to the ia.
vorable notice of the democratic party, in the
choice of an U. S. Senator, COL. CHESTER
ASHLEY, of Little Rock.
This distinguished gentleman, is one OF the sold
settlers" Of Arkansas, and is favorabIy known to
its citizens. His eminent abilities and sterling
democracy have given him an enviable position
before the people in this part of the State. W,
speak knowingly and advisedly, when we say
that he is the choice of the democracy of the 7th
and 9TH Judicial circuits; and that the selection of
this gentleman TO fill the vacancy in the U. S.
Senate, will give unbounded satisfaction.
