 DEAR SrR-Perhaps yoa have noticed in some of the New York papers, statement concerning the remarkable powers of mathematician in that city, who adds, subtracts, multipes, divides, and performs all other arithmetieal operations, with rapidity that seems almost miraculous. As I am that person, will endeavor to give you correct statement of the facts, which hope you will pub fish. First, let column of figures, say 5000 in length and 10 or 70 in breadth be placed befnre me- and in less than Eve seconds of time, wilI give the sum total. always commencing on the left hand side, to place the answer down, it matters not, what length the column is, os what breadth, will give the total. fast the figures can be writ ten down. Second, let a sum be written in multi. plication. with 1000 figures in the mulsipieS, and as many in the multiplicand, and commence on the Jeff hand side and write the product under meath, all in one line, fast as the figures can be written down. Thirdly, let sun be written in di- vision, with any large amount for divisor, and I commence writing down the remainder, first, then the quotient-interesta at any per cent. be per- formed in the sams manner. without using any ex. o@ ASuAces EtaSNkothS VI etSty 0EtVtAAhasAuxs CAu be summed dp instantly without reducing them to q common denomination. In fact all arithmetical calculations, can be performed in the same manner. These rules can be learned in one half hoar by any person having the printed instructions. Please in sert this in your paper. also stating that any person wishing these rules. will enclose $iO, through the New York Post Office. Please forward me one pa- per which will contain this. and on receipt thereof will forward you full set of these rules, (free gratis) by which you can become as expert in fig ures as am.

EDITOR OF BANNER:
 SIR-Some six months ago Democracy was in a fair way to be unhinged m Arkansas A number of prominent men, who had acted with the party from necessity rather than principle. effected mighty division in the ranks. These men. who had for many years been known members of the party, had drawn around them many strong friends. who were sound democrats, who had not the means of knowing the real policy which actuated these men. The cry of Rough and Ready dwelt for a moment on the ear of the people. The State was, at this time, disgraeed by some of her own citizens in the eyes of the world. that twelve months of toil and endurance, with the blood of fscsaty three of her best citizens was offering that the whole Ameri- can people turnffom COWARD has been written or our Banner. These things fastened like an incubus on the giea. body of Arkansas Democracy. But, sir this dark spot has nearly made its transit across the bright Sun of our glory. "Txe sober second ttoughf' has oome--Democraey again shines with its wonted lustre.
 It must be apparent to all, that the positive ten- dency of that mis named paper. the Democrat is to destroy true democracy in our State Men begin to perceive that its venerable Editor has thrown himself too much to the wndward for the safety of the cause. It is now known that the old maa has
 strong affinity for the ''left wing of skiggsry, and that he has not shown a real democratic zeal for the wounded honor of our State The late de- monstrations from that quarter must convince even the most incredGlons that there is something doubt iuI there It will be difficult for him to persuade the party that those lately prescribed account o the Mile: affair, are ender footed scashy democrats l The party has oRly to make one united effort, and all is right again. Those who have produced the present totering condition of things, will be found I where the natural afinities lead, among the adyo cates of Bank, High Tariff, &c. Be. i In the sel. .etiea of men, who are sound at ths { sore, and worthy of con6dence, we are at los. where to begin. There are many such among ths party
 1 As the choice can fall on but two, may speeif, without disparaging any one. thwarting the pros poets of any one In doing this, of the party
 would beg leave to recommend Taos s. DREw | for Governor. and R. W. JOHNSON, fos Congress These men are before the people-they emtod,
 more of public confidence than any other men. be cause they are better known.

The English papers talk in swelling strains of inc lberality of their electors in choosing Baron Rothschiid, Jew, to the House of Commons. This election took place in London. and the voters were so very liberal that the canvass cost the baron oay twenty five thousand pounds steriAg. in bribes of different sorts. What wonderful hberality to ask saeh paltry sam Sor seat la the Hoase oi Commons But the most remarkable feature of this berality the part of the citizens of London is the fact. that with Baron Rothsehid they ehose Mir. Masterman, tory, who had declared from the hns,ings that he would never consent that Jews should be put upon the same level with Christians. These Loaaon electors must be very liberal set of mea indeed. They sell seat to Jew for . large of money, and at the same time they sell another seat to maa who declares that Jews ought not to sit in Psrliameni How liberal those Lea- den people arc tor money i-N. o.

 The following speculation" of the BstnO" Suns Washington correspondent, may be inieres' ing to oss readers
 WAsHIHcToS, Sept l2, fsH presume there is no longer any indscreton Ia my informing you that an additional reason why E think we shall have speedy peace. is this: Some weeks ago the State Department sent VI Mr. Trst new set of instructions. in regard to tn treaty with Mexico. changing the terms granted sl the Mexicans. It is well known that Mir Ins- in his previous instructions, was left withodt dF creiioBary power. He bad the draft of treaty the xlfimatnm of Mir. Buchanan--with him, wnisf had to be acceded to, or the negotiation must isa Mir. Trist could only take the propositions oi uF Mexican Government, If not agreeing with his owA ad reIsyendam for his superior in Washington. hs new and last instructions were forwarded to sea Cruz, with directions to be sent to him with all PC sible despatch, and were captured by the guenlA~ of this fact, of course, Mr. frist is not inic'H- cd, nor does he know that new instructions are 4 the way for him. He will. therefore. stick to ns text of his former instructions; but as these, E have good reason 10 believe, are much more heefs to the Mexieans, and as the new instructions SFr on him the necessity of asking and insisting ~ inoEe ii is highly probable that the Mexeans, kDes ing the less favorable disposition of our goserna towards them, and having no means Of continues the war, will use every means in their Powe. make peace on the old terms, before second se' instructions may reach Mir. Tnst On the whole, think the country will ee se's fled with our Hiiiaatasa. as Mir. Trist has iti "a' ing to its destiny to obtain the rest.
