PLANK ROAD TO FULTON The neces-
s,y of plank road from this place to
Fulton has for some time been canvassed,
and as nothing hut the organization OF a
company appears to be necessary to ensure
the success of the enterprise, we wonld
respectfully suggest TO those interested.
the propriety OF forming such an organlza-
ton. We feel satisfied from the interest
already manifested, that if books were
opened, an amount of stock sufficient 10
accomplish the object. would be speedily
taken. The dista,.ce is but short, and
the emigration over the route during the
fall and winter months, would render the
investment profitable, independent OF the
advantages our citizens would derive
from having good road to the nearest
point Of navigation. The cost Of plank
road Of the length required, would not
exceed $4,000, and we have every
reason to believe that half of that amount
will be subscribed by citizens of this
place, as soon as an opportunity for doing
SO is afforded them. We have heard
several gentlemen who feel an interest
in the success of the enterprise express
willingness to subscribe liberally, and
we are assured that with but little effort
the necessary amount can readily he OBJ
tanned. Under the general act Of the
last Legislature charter could be secured.
as favorable, we presume, as under any
special act, and as there appears to be
no difficulty in the way of speedy Of
ganization of a JOINT stock company,
and the subscription of sufficient amount
for the completion of the work, we would
suggest that some steps in furtherance of
the object be at once taken.
With view Of obtaining some definite
action it has been suggested that Messrs.
Z. j. Smith, T.. Nance, Ii. P. Johnson,
and DR. B. p. Jett be requested to appoint
some day, upon which they will have a
list prepared, to ascertain what amount
Of stock would be taken, and to give
notice of the time and place for receiving
such subscription.

LATE News FROM THE PLAINs.-We
learn from It. Myers. 9th Infantry, just
in from Fort Arbuckle, that the traders
from the prairies. bring the report Of the
death of Wild Cat, aud two Of his COM
panions, Chickasaws. 1t is reported that
they were killed by the Comanches.
The Wichetaws. Keckies, and Osages.
have banded together. for the purpose OF
exterminatiug The Tonkaways, who are
cannibals. and very much dreaded by all
Of the other tribes. The Tonkaways, it
is said devour the bodies of theirenemles
killed in battle, and their love of the taste
of human flesh is SO great, that they
sometimes eat the bodies of some devot-
ed victim of their own tribe.
1t. Myers informs us, that Bill Connor,
a Delaware trader, brings tie news III,
that there are congregaied pretty high up
on Red River. about twenty thousand
Comanches. They informed him, Coz
nor, that it was their intention 10 ex.
terminate the Pawnee Mohawks; but G.
thinks it is their intention to make a
descent upon the frontiers of Texas
This is correct. no doubt, and it would
be we'll for our neighbors of Texas to be
on The look out, aud give them warm
reception. if the Comanches SHOULD visit
them.-Fort Smith Herald.

TIE FEDERAL Court IN TExAs.-We
learn from the Washington ULion that
at the late session of Congress, the
Chairman Of the House Judltiary Com
mittee reported on the memorial 10 im-
peach John &. Watrous, u. S. District
Judge for Texas, that the time was too
short to inquire into the grave charges
preferred against the said Judge. The
Union says:
BY all amendment to the civil and
diplomatic bill, i. was provided that the
said district Judge of Texas should hold
annual sessions of his court at Austin,
Tyler, and Brownsville, in Texas, to try
such cases as should properly come before
each of said oonrts. The said Judge is
duly authorized to classify the respective
counties in each Of said subdivisions ac-
cording to the convenience and interests
of said counties. There is, we learn, a
vast amount of business in Texas which
will be accommodated by this arrange
ment.

A difficulty of some importance has
arisen between Maryland and Pennsylva-
MIA on account Of the recent recovery Of
a fugitive slave by Mr.. ]. S. Mitchell, of
Cecil county, Maryland, his agents hav-
ing taken the woman and her child off,
without making out his claim in due
course of law, The Governor Of Penn
sylvan,a has sent arequisition to the Gov
ernor of Maryland, for the person of Mr..
J. S. Mitchell, as fugitive from justice
in that state. The charge consists Of hav-
ing employed agents to carry off not only
his slave, but her child, which was the
issue of marriage contracted in New Jer-
sey two years after she made her escape,
and which is claimed by Pennsylvania as
a free child, but under the laws of Mary
land, being Of slave mother, is slave
child. The agents, Messrs. Price and Al
berts, have already been tiled and convict
ed, and sentenced to the penitentiary.
for kidnapping the woman and her child
at Philadelphia. Governor Lowe has de.
clined to give Mr.. Mitchell up, as he has
committed no offenc against the laws OF
Maryland, and has addressed an able re-
ply to the letter accompanying the requi-
sition, which he sustained by a written
opinion furnished by Attorney General
Brent.-luO61le Register.

The Texan BoNDs-The Treasury
Department i'll Washington have had pre-
pared the blanks for the Texan indemnify
bonds for the ten millions, granted to
Texas under Mr. Pearce's bill, and il is
expected that they will be issued to those
entitled to them in a short time. The
Secretary of The Treasury has not yet,
as we understand. given his decision in
regard to some questions which have
been submitted to him, but it is under
stood will do so in few days. The
bonds are prepared to be issued in sums
of S1OO, $500, $1,000 and $1,000 each.
p. S.-Since the above was in type we
see, by a notice in the National Inteli-
gcncer, that the Secretary of the Treasury
has postponed, till the 18th of June, his
decision on the questions resulting from
the proviso of the act, under which The
appropriation Of the ten millions was
granted to Texas. This postpOnement is
made nee tessary, as certain official doc,
nments of Texas, Indispensable to his
decision, have not yet been received.

we take the following extract:
Perhaps you have noticed that Queen
Victoria made no al!usion to the colonies
in the speech with which she opened
Parliament. The omission is regarded
here as an indication of Indifference which
can only proceed from the spread of Cob
denis auti-colonial laws. Taken iii con-
junction with the withdrawal of troops
from New South Wales, the circumstance
is construed as pointing to gradual but
certain abandonment. speak from per-

The MARYLAND MUIR EDERs.-Three per-

being connected with the murders-W VIM.

James Roberts, a travelling clocl, member,
and William Shelton, a workman in n
mill in the vicinity. Suspicious wereex-
cited against Webster, by difficulties he

had made against him. Roberts answer
ed the description given by Miss Webster,
of the person who assaulted her, and on
being brought into her presence, she said
that he was the man. Both of these
men, however, were able to establish an
alibi, but are at present confined in Jail

Though no statement OF the kind was

The CALIFORNIA FEVER SUBsIDING.-
The ST. Louis Republican referring to a
paragraph in an Eastern paper, in which
il was said that the indications were that
the emigration to California will be as
great this season as it was last year,
observes:
We have not heard Of a single COM
pany going across the Plains, and if one
man goes now where hundred went
last year, we shall be greatly deceived.
The intelligence from there within the
last six months-the representations of
hundreds who have returned in a worse
condition, pecuniarly, thar when they
started, and Of the many who have re-
turned in bad health and dying-have
satisfied the people that it is much better
to stay at home and do WELL than 60 oil
on any such wild goose chase. They
can form their own conclusions now, from
the representations of their associates and
friends, and credence is no longer given
to the overstrained and glaring falsehoods
put forth by interested sources in Calfor-
MIA. They may coin as many stories as
they please about Jumps and islands of
gold, bu. nobody will believe them,
