APPOINTMENTS in ARKANSAs.-A tele-
graphic despatch ia the Louisville Cour-
ier Of the 18th inst, contains list Of ap-
pointments i'll this State, but as there are
many inaccuracies in the names of the
persons appointed, we have determined
not to publish them until further advised.
Among the number, however, we no.
tice the appointment of Col. A. Fowler,
to be United States District Attorney, for
The District of Arkansas, and Lorenzo
Gibson, Surveyor General, in the place of
VIM. Pelham. These are excellent ap-
pointments, and if si.e other selections are
as good, there can be 40 ground of COM
plant.

kENTUcKY.- fears having been
expressed that the Wings of Kentucky
svould not be able to hold their own in
the coming Congressional elections. The
Louisville Courier, thus discourses in re-
iation thereto-"On this score, our friends
at a distance may rest entirely easy.
Every thing is right in Kentucky. We
have every reasonable assurance that the
Wings will have at least eight, and in all
probability nine, of the ten members to
be elected next August. Tie Democrats
will lose at least three or fonr members.
This result is inevitable, for the people OF
Kentucky who did SO much towards
electing General Taylor to the Presiden-
cy, are determined to stand by his admin
istration.'
