The ncp Stale Conrention.-It is with regret

OF the State will not send delegates to the Con.

in with US like true soldiers! We apprehend the
worst results from the holding of another minor
ity Convention, and we anticipate great good &c
flow from the meeting of a full and enthusiastic
one. We hope our brethren in the North will
reconsider their determination and send a re-
presentation to Little Rock in April. q.

An attemrtio murder-.On the Esd inst, a man.
by the name Of L. Preneba, attempted to murder
Thomas w. Mahonoy, citizen of Fort Smith.
The attempt was deliberate and base; Mahoneyss
and Prenelba had been on uniform friendly terms,
and until the assault was mado NJ. had no suspi-.
con that P. entertained hostile feelings towards
him. On the day mentioned, PreneIba visited
Nahoney and dined with him. and appeared unu-|
ssually friendly whilst entertaining his hellish de-
signs. After dinner, he proposed that they should
walk towards the Porteau; M. declined walking so
far but agreed to go to the @. Ms Office within the
walls of the new Fort. They then proceeded to-
sgether and when they arrived at remote part
near some unfinished buildings Prena lba instantly
HALTED, drew knife and told NJ. to defend himself
who told him that he he'd no weapons; and beg.
sged p. to throw away his knife, when he refused,
Esaying that he did not intend to allow him such a
schance. A struggle then ensued, and NJ. being
Sthe stoutest man, prevented P. from inficting any
dangerous wounds, although he cut M. in several
8places on the head and face. Tho alarm made by
IN. brought several persons to the ground, and P
Hfled. He crossed the Porteau into tho Choctaw
knation, where he may now be lurking.
q The officers are in pursuit Of him, and it is te
bo hoped that if he is recognized by any good cit
aizen that he will be arrested. He is an infcrna

useful Such work might indeed show that some

more guilty in this respects than others but ii would
also prove that no great religious denomination is
