G Our Deighbor of the Eagle need have no
apprehensions upon account of our impeach.
ment' of General Taylor. 1t is the impeachment
from the wings, we fear he will not be able 10
" survive.' If we can blow hotter, colder, and
faster than friend holland, he can take our hat :;
and if he will only look into the file of the Eagle
about the time of the State elections, when he
praised democrat in one column and denounced
him in another-and even at later day, where he
praises certain democratic ofice.hoIder, and ex.
presses preference for him to a certain whg, he
will see in that mirror a striking image of man
that "blows hot and lone that cannot be
mistaken.
With our usual candor, we will answer the
Eagles inquiries in relation to the Indian Agen-
cies. Capt. Armstrong was from Tennessee, and
was appointed before Arkansas became State.
Gov. Stokes, from North Carolina, and was also
appointed before Arkansas came into the Union.
Gov. Butler from South Carolina, and, if we
mistake not, was appointed by John Tyler, after
this State came into the Union. The appoint
ments of the two first does not conflict with our
statement that it has been the custom to fill these
Offices from the State contiguous to that part of
the Indian country. When these appointments
were made, there was no State Immediately cont.
guous, and no delegation was there to resent the
fragrant outrage" whenever it was perpetrated
by the importation of Office holders. The third
appointment was made by administration that
repudiaed by all parties, and therefore can.
not be brought in evidence, unless the editor of the
Eagle will justify Taylor in lreading in the foot
steps of Tyler. and Tyleri=ing the whig party.
Since Arkansas has become State, and taken
her stand among her equals, the following named
persons have been appointed TO Indian Agencies,
this frontier, ali citizens of Arkansas Messrs
Walker, Galway, A udriun, Rector, Logan, Daw-
son, Duval, Rutherford, McKzzick, and Brown.
in all ten.
Whatever the Intelligencer said about Indian
Agents during the BorIand and Sewer contest,
we are willing 10 reiterate. We said nothing in
defence Of those special cases.

route from ArkaaAs possesses many advanto ges.
Besides, its being some days travel shorter, it is
less intersected with large streams; there are
fewer sandy stretches; and greater variety of
wood-skirted brooks, affording throughout the
journey, very agreeable camping places. Also
the grass springs up nearly month earlier than

left on the lst Of ApriD was met two or three
weeks since, 400 miles on their journey. The
last wagon train was 200 miles on the road on

of Van Buren,. over Independence as starting

SET the current of emigration in the shortest, safest

THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS

The wings about these diggings pretend that
they never expected different result in Virginia
than the one derived at the late election. They
say that Virginia always democratic.
They should admit that the wings had sir
members in the last delegation; and now they
have only one-this looks lille different from
what they had right to expect, if they had con-
sidered Gen. Tayor's administration popular;
and they must acknowledge that Taylor has been
nearly tailored in the .'OId Dominion" Hear
what the Memphis Enquirer (strong whig) SAYS
on the subject:
The recent elections in Virginia resulted quite
dlsastrousy for the whig party. We have not
given the particulars, for two reasons, one that
they have not reached US in detail and the other
is that we take no delight in recording the over
throw OF the honored whig party in the good old
Dominion. That II is " Waterloo defeat'' so
far as the Congressional elections are concerned
we are all constrained to admit-ony one solitary
wing elected from the entire State. and he chosen
over another whg. the talented and popular PendIe.
ton. instead of SIX which was the number of the
'ast delegation! What revolution and how
was it produced? There must have been some
fatal agement-some awful " bunplipp
work." in the arrangements Of the wings of Vir-
glnIa-and they have paid the forfei: with dis
graceful defeat. We apprehend that the Bolts
affair was not the only ugly spot in the canvass
