THE ARMY.

By the recent Army regulation. Gen ARBUeKIE the former and favorite commander on our Western frontier, has been re-appoined to his old command Of the arrival of Gen. A. we find the following mo- tice in the Arkansas Inteligencer of the 25th ut:
 "The following named officers passed through our town on the 18th inst, to the Military Posts West Gen. NJ. Arbuckle, to take command of the Army on this frontier, and Aid-de-camp, Capt J. Il. Prentiss, lsi Artillery; Dr. Wnl E. Fullerwood, Assistant Surgeon, and It. James Monoe, 9th mlan- try"
 Gen. TAyLoH, recently in this command, has been transferred to our South western frontier head quarters at Fort Jcsup, where he has been ordered 10 concentrate some twenty odd companies O Infantry and Dragons. This movement has become proper in consequence of our relations with Texas and Mexico; and it is conceded, as we believe, by every one, that its execution could not have been as signed 10 better hands&
 Gen. TAYLOR, with his family and staff, and Mia LEAR, of the Sd Regiment of Dragoons, reached our city Saturday morning last, board the steamer Eyeline from above. and left, in the afternoon, for their southern destination.

A. w. ARBIN0ToN.-Thi individual, whom the Whigs have made champion of their ca'ises~ by putting him forward candidate fer Presidential eector. has, several occasions, received notice in our columns; not because he is worthy the notice of any honest man. but because the position in which he has been placed, by misguided party, has made it our duty, the conductor of public newspaper, to expose his character. This. when he Was first nominated We did by quoting from Whig news paper; and since then by gathering the public opin- ion of his conduct and expressing it freely 1T he were private individual, We should leave him, un- noticed, to rot in his own corrupton but long as he remains candidate before the people of this State, il is our duty to give the Whg party the full benefit of his character, by exposing it to the public inspection, in all its disgusting tnrpitude And this duty, however unpleasant it may be. we intend to perform.
 h the last number of the s.Western Frontier Whg," fit organ for such character, he writes, over his own signature, very abusive article against us and others who have spoken of him as he de- serves. He even threatens fire arms and s.blood :; and dares us to challenge him to the .Indan coun- try!" We'll may lie dare. He knows very well what we, and the honest of his own party, think ol him. And much as he prates of 'gentlemen, and lis lriend at Little Rock, respect for the peo- pie of this city forbds us to believe that there is one here, of any political party claiming to be an hon orabe man, who would so disgrace his household, or insult his family as to admit A. ". Arlington to his ire-side table, In next we shall republsh short history of A. W. Arlington, from source whose authority will not be questioned, and whose force may not be resisted. In the mean time we leave him to the tender merces of our friend Geo. W. Clarke, and his correspondent Bob Saipes. '' They understand his perfectly, and treat il with great skill.

INDEpENpENT DEMOCRATS,


 We the following paragraph from the National Intelligencer of May 18th.
 ''ARREsr FOR FRAUD AND PERJuRY.-The St. Louis Republican of the lst instant states thatsW. D. Chapman was arrested ill that city on acquisition from the Governor of Mississippi, upon the charge of perjury, and obtaining the property of deceased citizen oi that State under false pretences Chapman was engaged in editing and publishing paper i'll Mississippi, in company with man named Lester, and at the decease of Mr. L., who was the principal owner of the establishment, Chapman declared himself the heir of the deceased, swore out letters of administration upon the estate, and appropriated to his own usc somewhere between six and ten thousand dollars worth of properly A brother of the deceased resides in New ' ork, and the agent employed by him to pursue Chapman arrest cd him, after travelling in search of him q distance of nearly ten thousand miles.''
 This is the same w. D. Chapman who commenced the publication of the '.Independent Democrat in this city, last summer. It will be remembered by most of our readers that the said sIndepe ndent De- mocrat9 was printed in a tVhig office, was en- e0araged, cherished, and sustained with moneY by Gen. Riehard C. Byrd, and was designed to produce dissensions in the Democratic party, and thus, by mpairing it's strength 10 make it an easy prey to Whiggery, in the coming elections. This was the miserable tool used by Gen. Byrd, and some of the Wings of this city, in their neiarions scheme to dis organize and defeat the Democracy of Arkansas. fit organ for such political pirates! But their foul scheme proved abortive. Information of Chapman's Yillainy reached here, and to avoid the odium which was likely to attach to all who had any eonnexion with him, he was spirited away, and the .lndepen- dent Democrat ceased to exist. Thus Gen. Byrd, and his wg allies. lost, at once. their friend their organ, and their money. Doubtless, they deserved sympathy Since then they have been without an organ; until they have had the luck to purchase the 'eTimes and Advocate" and Cyrus ". Weller. They certainly deserve eongratulation upon their good fortune in procuring such worthy successors 10 the '.Independent Democrat. and W. D. Chapman. 1n- dependent Democrats! Bs, W. D. Chapman, Cyrus v. Heller, Richard c. Byra.zz4l A worthy Trio. The one is now looking through the grates of a Mississippi prison; while the other two await the justice q the people of Arkansas Our hope, in their behalf, is that justice may be tempered with mercy.

GEORGE M. DALLAs.--Although, in the proceed ings of the National Convention which we copy to- day from last Baltimore papers, the name of SILAs WRIGHT is given as the nominee for Vice President yet we place the name of Mir. DALLAS at the head of our columns, as the candidate; for he is so, in truth The seeming discrepancy occurs in this way Our latest Baltimore papers give the proceedings of the Convention, including the fore session of the 29th. Up to that time, Mf. Wright was the nominee. We have received later information, which is to be relied on, that MT. Wright declined the nominations; and that then 1Ir Dallas received the unanimous vote of the Gonyen- ton. He is, therefore, the regular nominee, and along with POLK, will receive the cordial support of every Democrat.

GENERAL JACKSON AND MIR. CLAY

The difference resulting from life spent in fear less honesty and patriotic purposes, and one in which honesty becomes lost in self aggrandisement, and patriotism but cunning afcctation to reach the Presidency, is fairly exempfed in the position of Gen. Jackson and Mr Clay, in regard to the letters of each on the subject of the coalition" While General Jackson comes forward and openly declares that not only his letter to General Hamilton but any communication of his that will sustain the declara- ton of the whigs may be published. Mir. Clay, al though publicly invited, gives no assent to the cx- posture gf his letter to Mir Blar which il s charged contains proof under his own hand of his ..bargain' with MT Adams Gen. Jackson upon mere news paper nsinuation invites the proof which Gen Ham, ilton is said to possess and declares that he has written nothing which HE fears to see published. Col. Boyd proposes, on aae floor of Congress, to Mf White of Kentucky, that Mr. Clay be requested give his permission that his letter to Mir. Blair. while he had the confidence and friendship of Mir. Clay. be published MT White refuses to join in the request and Mir. Clay, although in the city at time and apprsed of the suspicious concerning this letter. said not word but departed and made no sign. Why will he moi remoyet the seal of secrecy! There is but one inference to be drawn; because il contains conclusive procG of aie gaaiiaess oj the Transaction

PORTRAIT PAtNTING.-IIow admirable IS the art which enables us to perpetuate the features of those we love When youth, with its bloom, has depart- ed, and time with ruthless hand' has stolen the smile from the lip and beauty from the cheek and brow, nestmable indeed, is the skill which trans mits to us such graces, iie-Ii1e and joyous as in other days
 We introduce this subject in our paper to-day, not for the purpose of discussing its excellence; but merely to mention, in conuexion with it, professor of the " silent art Mir HENRY c. BYRD.
 Among our own citizens, where this gentleman has been long and fayorably regarded artist of distinguished merit; and where numerous and glow ing productions ofhs pencil '.speak for themselves, well for him, laudatory notice from us would be quite unnecessary. But MT. Byrd has recently removed to Batesgille in this State, for the purpose of pursuing his profession; and to those who have had no opportunity of witnessing the truth of his delineatoas the fahfuness of his portraits and the richness of his coloring, these remarks address sed. We cannot tell in technical phrase the partic- ular style of Mir. B.'s painting; the peculiar school to which he belongs. We only know that there is a truthfulness, elegance, and finish of touch about his works rarely to be seen in portraits of the present day To genius of no common order, Mr. B. unites that enthusiasm in his profession, to- gether with perseverance andlindnstry, which will insure him ennence any where. We cordially re- commend him to the patronage of the citizens of Batesyille

A FALsEHooD NAILED.---A few weeks since the Wings were very busy circulating the rumor that Gov. YELL was opposed to Col. SEVER, and had denounced him as '.the thieying bond-seller' Know ing, as we did the very friendly and confidential re- lations subssting between Gov. Yell and Col. Se- vier We knew this rumor to be false and sandeEpus and so pronounced it whenever we heard it men toned So long, however, as it was mere verbal rumor, neither Gov. Yell, ourself, any other of Col Seviers friends cared to give any thing more than verbal contradiction Butsince the editors of newspapers have been so interruptions as to give it publicity, and even the Gazette, of this city, as the organ of the Whig party, has copied it. II Is deemed proper to make written and public contradiction of 1t, upon the authority of Gov. Yell himself. In a recent letter, received by us, from Gov Yell, he writes as follows:
 'The statement in the Gazette, about my opposition to Col SEVER, Is falSe; and l wish you 10 say so, on my authority"
 Thus, hisreport, conceived in malice, and brought forth in islander, for the base and cowaFdly purpose of creepng in between friends, and sowing discord there," is fully and elfectually contradcted, and held up 10 the execration ofevery honest man. Those who originated the report, or who believing it to be false still gave it circulation will of course, refuse to take back the falsehood they have Adhered; but those who have been imHossdupon, and made to cir eulate ii, by being made to believe it. will moi now hesitate to circulate the contradiction, have fur nished, as widely and as zealously they did the false report We do not ask this as favor: it is due to f'lslh and fair dealing.

COI. CHESTER ASHLEY.

Col. ASHLEY, the Democratic candidate for Pre- sidenal eector in the middle division of this States has taken the field, with enthusiasm and activity :; and is gaining strength for the good cause and honor for himself, wherever he goes. He is now ona tour through the Southern counties. has address ed the people on several occasions, and is every where received with cordiality, listened to with pleasure profit, and cheered with applause. Although advan- ce in years, yet neither time nor toll has impaired his health strength, or activity. With an ardor cqualled by that of few young men, and strength of intellect, a store of knowledge, and power oi eoquenee surpassed by none of any age, he has leaped full grown and armed at all points, into the political arena, and Whiggery bleeds at every blow of his vigorous arm.
 He addressed the people at Washington on the Isl day of this month, in powerful speech, of all hoal in length On the 3rd inst he spoke at Lewi%ille, in Lafayette county; and Davy Walker himself, whc was present on the occasion, confessed that Colonel Ashley's speech, there, was splendid effort; fm surpassing any thing he had expected from the well known ability of the speaker. On the 5th, he spoke at Spring Hil in Hampstead county Of this effort, correspondent, of that neighbofhood, writes us as follows;
 sCo Ashley addressed the people at Spring Hill on "Wednesday last in aspeech of hours length This speech is admitted on all hands to have been one of the best efforts of his life, on any oecasion and thUs you are aware it must have been great in- deed The people were perfectly delighted withit' Such speeches delivered in various parts of the State will long ke remembered and appreciated. When Col Ashley returns from the South, he in- tends making Western tour. In anticipation ol which the Democracy of Johnson county have de- termined to give him cordial welcome, as will be seen by the subjoined correspondence.
