We publish i'll another column the
proclamation of the presiding judge of the
county court for an election on the 4th
of May next, for Beard of Internal I'm
provement, under the Act distributing the
proceeds OF the 100000 acres OF land, do
mated TO the State by the general govern
ment. The Legislature and the Supreme
Court together. have decided that the pro-
ceeds of this liberal bequest shall be
squandered among the different counties
of the State, and as this county is entitled
to betW cen four and FIVE hundred dollars
of the amount now in the Treasury, it is
the opinion of many that we might
as we'll assist in its disbursement. BY
proper management and direction, this
fund might have been made the basis of
complete system of internal Improvements
throughout the State, but the distribution
Oft among the different counties, instead
of accomplishing any good, will only
afford another evidence of the skill and
ability with which the people Of Arkan-
sas manage their legislative and financial
affairs. In very few years, we predict,
the SOC, 1000 acre donation fund will have
gone in search Of the capital Of the State
Bank.

The SLAVERY QUEsTIoN.-The signs
Of the times are encouraging. tx writes
as follows to the Baltimore Sun:
In spite Of Mr.. Stewards speech, which
is the quintessence of sophistrv. and the
climax of the fanaticism of egotism, the
tone of both houses is becoming more and
more conciliatory. You can see the terms
of agreement written on the wall, for
they are already in the mouths of all
moderate men, and will mainly be based
on the principle of non-intervention, which
is not only the ground on which the North
and the South but also the admimistra-
ton and the opposition may agree with
honor. It is the historical settlement,
too; Of the agitated question, and there is
unqnestionably, sense and logic, as we'll
as necessity, recommending its adoption.
Mr. Douglas, in the Senate. finished
his great speech On the admission Of Cal
ifornia, and took high statesman!ike views.
He admitted that the seacoast of Califor.
MIA was very long, and the State larger
than he wished it TO be; but under the
present circumstances, he thinks it best
to admit her with her present limits. II

the South would. year hence, be found
to advocate the admission of California as
one State instead of two. Mr.. Douglas
was for extending aid and protection 10 a
| Northern or Southern minority, whose
rights are invaded by majority; but he
had no sympathy for either side or section
if semedy be sought beyond the consti'
tuition and the u. s. Courts.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
gives the following account OF a stree,
fight between Senators Borland and
Foote.
A difficulty arose yesterday in front OF
the Intefiigencer office between Senators
Foote and Borland. Mr. Footel dropped
few words about "servile followers" OF
Mr.. Calhoun, which Mr.. Borland con-
structing to reflect npon himself. scuffie
ensued, in which Gen. Foote was struck
in the face. He had but recently recover
ed from a severe attack of pleurisy, and
was hardly prepared for street fight
MIR. Rorland the moment the blow was
struck, perceived himself. the extreme i'm
propriety and ungenerousness OF his con-
duct, and apologized forit since In man.
ner which alone could atone for his rash
conduct.
The occurrence is the more to be re-
gretted, as Messrs. Foote and Boiand
have been friends, and Mr.. Foote had on
| very recent occasion, defended MIR. Bor-
land against the assaults of his enemies
| am glad to add that the unconditional
apology offered by Mr. Borland, has since
been considered personally satisfactory to
| Gen Foote; and that, in all probability
Mr.. Borlan1 will this evening be intro
dnced to the bedside of Gen toote, te
shake hands with him. Afte: SO grave
an offence was committed, 1t was Ger
tainIy an act ofjustice and respectto his
own dignity, as we'll as for the dignity o.
the body of which Mr. BorlaEd is a mem
Der, to apologize, as he had dons, to
tried and true friend. After an error Is
committed, the best plan is to actnowl
edge it frankly: aud not to aggraate At,
by false pride that would add crime tc
| rashness.

WEBsrER's TRIAL.-The trial OF Dr.

commenced at Boston on the 18th r'lt
The excitement was intense and the
court house was crowded throughout the
trial. but few Of the immense throng
which crowded the vicinity Of the court
house being able to obtain admlttance-
The testimony on the part of the prose-
cution was circumstantialiy strong

ses testified that they saw DR.. Parkman
enter The College, and the dentist 'dent'ti-
ed the teeth and Jaws found in Dr. Web
ster's room, as DR.. Parkman's, owing to
their peculiar form. DR.. Strong, Park
mans physician. testified that certain de-
fects found in the remains corresponded
with Parkman's person. Frederick Aims
worth. Demonstration Of Anatomy in the
Medical college. testified that all subjects
came through his hands, that he kept
a record of all anatomical materials, and
that he was satisfied that the remains tc
which his attention had been called. had
never been sent to him for dissection
He also stated that DR.. Webster had nc
connection with the Anatomical depart
ment, and that it was his impression, that
whoever cut these remains might have
seen the body dssected but never used
the knife The testimony of Littlefieli
the Janitor of the College. who was the
first to discover the remains, was strong
against the prisoner. In the testimony
on the part of the prosecution, three anon
ymous letters were produced and identi
fed as having been written by Webster
himself. The testimony also shows ar
attempt on the part of the prisoner to
implicate Littlefeld.
The testimony for the defence opened
on the 2Sth. Webster's two daughters
with many others gave in their evidence
but of them nothing was elected of ar
exculpatory character, but before closing
the testimony in behalf of the prisoner
on the 29th several witnesses testified tc
having seen Dr. Parkman subsequent tc
the alledged time Of the murder. The
whole testimony on the part of the pros
ecution is strong against the prisoner, sc
much so as to have destroyed the hopes
