A Humorous ARKANSAS POLITICIAN. Mr..

To The People Of ARKANSAS. | am a candi-
date for Congress. If you should elect me, it
would only be for u period of about six weeks.
Too short in which TO do either much good or
harm. All that could expect to do would be
to attend to any private business you might
have, and to impress upon my Wing brethren
in Congress the necessity Of doing something
for Arkansas generally, and the northern por-
ton of it particularly.
In the recent contest between COL Ashley
and Gov. Yell for seat in the U. S. Senate,
took no part. AS legislator cast my vote
for that talented, consistent and unfinching

SANTA Annals ARMY. We learn from the
Pensacola Gazette that tho accounts which we
have heretofose published of the mutinous con-
diton Of the Mexican army were received at
Tampco through the English Consu's mail,
which arrived two days previous to the sailing
of the brig Porpoise for Pensacola. Letters
from the interior report mutny of the Tam
plco regiment; also, general want of proyi-
SONS and the prevalence Of much scGness ia
the army; producing the impression at Tampi-
co that its condition was bad not only for want
Of supplies and On account Of sickness, but be-
cause of differences among its leaders 1t is
represented that Santa Anna is losing popu.
larity with his officers, and that this disaffec.
ton extends to the mass Of the soldiers, who
take part with their favorite leaders.

SECESSION rRoM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
An event Of some interest to the religious
world occurred at New York on Sunday,at the
Tabernacle body of some two hundred
German Catholics met and made public and
formal sec ession from the Church. The move.
ment appears to be something similar to that
Of john Ronge and his adherents in Germany
These Germans CathOlics--One Of whom was
priest, have been in the habit Of meeting reg
ularly on the Sabbath day, and other times, for
several months past, for the purpose Of study
ing the Bible. A statement Of these views
was received at the meeting on Sunday, from
which it appears that they are convinced that
a Catholic Church was established by Christ
and his Apostles, and that Rome has superadd-
ed to that Church some things not originally
authorised, and some even which arc not only
unauthorized, but forbidden by the primitive
institution. Their plan is reformation back to
the true Primitive Church, not Protesta ntism,
nor union with any Protestant sect, for all
these they regard with disapprobation.

The Old Mil,

A correspondent Of the Evening Gazette,
writes as follows from Berlin, under date of Ju-
Iy 24th:-'I spent pleasant day at Potsd2n,
and visited the tomb of Frederic the Great, and
the famous gardens and palace of Sans Souci
The old windmill is still standing in perfect re-
pair and belongs to the defendants of the mil
Ter who refused to give it up to Frederick. -
The following anecdote explains this remark
Near Potsdam, in the reign of Frederick the
Great, was mill, which in!erfered with the
view from the windows Of Sans Souci. Annoy
ed by this eye-sore to his favorite residence, the
king sent to enquire the price for which the
mil would be sold by its owner "For no
price" was the reply of the sturdy Prusyian;
and, in a moment of anger, Frederick gave Or
ders to have it pulled down. "The King may
do this" said the miller, quietly folding his
arms, "but there are laws in Prussia" and
forthwith he commenced proceedings against the
monarch; the result of which was, that the
and to pay large sum of money as compensa-
ton for the injury which he had DONE The
king was mortified; but said to his couftiers,
8" | am glad to find that just laws and upright
judges exist in my kingdom" The above an
ecdote is well known to every reader of the
Prussian history, but it is necessary to be rela-
ted here as an introduction to what loows.-
About three years ago, the present head Of the
honest millers family, (his name is Frank) who
has succeeded to the possession of his little es-
tate, finding himself, after a long struggle Of
losses occasioned by that war which ruined many
house besides his own, involved in pecunary
difficulties almost insurmountabe, wrote to the
king of Prussia, reminding him of the refusal
experienced by Frederick the Great at the hand
of his ancestor, and stating that if his majesty
now entertained similar desire to obtain poss-
csslon of the property it would be very agreea-
bic to him, in his present embarrassed circum-
Stances to sell the mill The king wrote In
mediately, with his own hand the following re-
ply" My dear neighbor, cannot allow you
to sell the mill; in must remain in your posses
sion as long as one member of your family
exists; for it belongs to the history of Prussia.
| lament however, to hear that you are in cir
cumstanccs of embarrassment; and therefore
send you six thousand dollars to arrange your
affairs, in the hope that this sum will be sulfi-
cient for the purpose.
