Lincoln, Of Illinois, and in regard to the we'll
known fact that the great mass Of the Wing
party Of Illinois was decidedly opposed to the
continuance Of Mr.. Butter6eld in Office But
notwithstanding all these things, Mr.. President
Fillmore's nerves, or inclination, would not allow
him to remove so inefficient and unit public
officer.
On future occasion shall show some Of the
proofs the President has had before him Of Mr..
Commissioner Ewbank's utter unHtness for the
| office he holds, and perhaps hint at the reasons
why he has neglected TO remove SO incompetent
public officer.
| As to the retention in Office Of Mr.. W. sprague,
| the Abolitionist as Indian Agent in Michigan,
have only now to say that have before me the pc
| tition Of the Hon. II. T. Bsckus, d. L. Harbaugh,
]. M. Howard, W. A. Howard, 2. Chandler,
Mayor, and eight Aldermen Of the city Of De-
troit and ffty-fvs others Of the most infuen-
| tial Wings and citizens Of the State of Michi-
gan, to the President Of the United States, re-
spectfully asking the removal Of William
Sprague, and the re-sppointment Of Charles p.
Babcock, good man and Union Wing. Also,
the petition Of sixty members Of the Legisla-
ture Of Michigan, irrespective Of party, re-
spectfully addressed to President Fillmore, and
asking for the removal Of Sprsgue and the re-
appointment Of Babcook.
Mr.. Sprsgue was in this city last week,
transaoting official business with the Depart
ment Of the Interior. That be il not removed
by Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Fillmore is proof that
Mr.. Stuart made mistake in his Richmond
speech, and that the Presidents protess,ons in
favor Of Union men and against Abolitionists
are to be taken with some grains OF allowance.

right in their works at common law. That was
not essential but the Judges opinion rested upon
the statute concerning literary property, which en-
titled the plaintiff to maintain the action upon the
testimony adduced.
Lord Campbell reviewed the testimony upon
which Baron Role held that foreigner by pub
fishing his work in Great Britain acquired no copy
right. If these premises were sound the inference
drawn from them was incontrovertible, that a Bri-
fish subject who purchases from a foreigner such
right as he had in his own country cannot be in
better condition in England than the foreigner
would have been himself
Lord Campbell declared that the act of Anne for
the encouragement Of learning was furthered by
allowing copyright to aliens who first published
in England, and that Parliament had always
favored the importation of foreign literature.
The question really was, whether foreigner
quired copyright. Upon this depends his right to
transfer his right to another Lord Campbell de-
cided that foreigner could acquire a copyright
His personal appearance within the realm cannot
be essential to his right an author, if he does
that by an agent, which it is not disputed he might
DO IN his own proper person. The right is, to &C.
quire monopoly in England for the sale of his
work the right is personal property, which he car
ries with him wherever he is and all that is to be
done to negotiate it he may do by another. The
law of England will protect his property, and re-
cognze his rights, and give him redress for wrongs
inflicted upon him.
In quoting the case of Gibbon at Lusanne, as TO
the point, he said: we wish to be understood as
speaking of the rights of foreigner first publish
ing his work in England but if a literary work is
once published, an author can only claim copy
night by the law of the country in which it is first
published"
This, it will be noticed, is decision of grave
Importance. An Americana may now, by first pub
fishing his work in England, enjoy copyright
there. Equity, not to say sense of dencency and
courtesy, demands upon the part of the United
States some similar act of justice to literary men.

In my second article | made an allusion to dis.
coveries of argentferous the north side of
The Arkansas river, and in my third | presented
! the south side. We will take a glance over the
premises once more, and then look for the fuel to
| run the mill. A portion of Johnson, Carroll, Ma.
rlon, Madison, Van Buren,, Washington, Pulaski
Jefferson, Drew, Clarke. Saline, Hot Spring,
Montgomery, Sewer, Polk, Scott, and Yell, are
all rich in argentiferous gaena and sulphurets of
OF copper, iron, and zinc. A little capital, cor
recily applied, would produce more than ten million
pounds per annum, which, at low estimate
would amount to five hundred thousand dollars
These estimates are too small, for portion of the
north ever presented the mineral wealth of Arkan-
sas; anu IN lS45 the State of (then Territory
Wisconsin produced sixteen million pounds of lead
beside what was produced in the adjacent paris of
Illinois and Iowa. trust these facts will satisfy
all of the unbounded mineral wealth Of Arkansas.
Beside this, Hardin county, of Illinois, and Liv-
ingston county, of Kentucky, have their argen-
tiferous ores, which would come here to be smelted
Now, that the is found and the materials for the
mill are convenient, shall show you the fuel
The coal fields Of Arkansas are very important,
on account of their extent, close proximity to The
river, and their unrivalled character. No country
on the face Of the globe can produce superior an
thracite to that found in Saline county. Parts of
Yell, franklin, Pope, Crawford, Sebastian, and
Scott, produce bituminous Goals of superior quality
Many out.crops of this coal are seen by the travel

the Arkansas river, which proves its accessibility
To be minute in pointing out the various mines of
coal in that State, would require more time than |

ter again. l will conclude by saying, cat the
mouth of White Oak Creek, Clarkesvie, Spadra,

From the Washington Republic 18th.
We published on Wednesday an article from
the Detroit Daily Advertiser, giving some account
of the doings of the Beaver Island settlement of
Mormons, and the arrest of their king, his majesty
James ]. Strang. This settlement has been
organized under some of the prevalent ideas of a
higher law than the Constitution of the State
of Michigan, or that of the United States; and its
members have been for some months carrying out
their higher law notions the great scandal of
the neighborhood, and to the great injury of all
good citizens. We understand that the federal
authorities have exhibited as little regard for this
new development of the higher law" as for its
manifestations on other theatres and that the most
prompt and efficient measures have been adopted
for bringing its disciples to justice.
Various and grave charges have been alleged
against the inhabitants of Beaver island of violating
the laws of the United Statss-such as that Of
spoliating the public domain by cutting timber,
conterfeiting the coin of the United States, and
obstructing the United States mail. In order to
arrest the parties accused of these offences, the
| revenue cutter lngham and the iron steamer Mi
chigan were recently placed at the disposal Of the
United States Marshal of Michigan, in order to
enable him to serve process in the "hgher law !"
kingdom. The Marshal succeeded in making the
contemplated arrests but the Mormons, it seems,
have been guilty of still further outrages which
have made it necessary for the federal authorities
to apply again for the aid of the steamer Michigan,
to assist in the service of additional warrants. The
following dispatch, received las. evening from an
official source, gives the latest advices from the seat
of the pending difficulties
MAcKINAc. (utd Detrot,) June 8, 1851.
The captain of the soop Planet, who arrived
here this afternoon from Beaver Island, reports
that the Morm0ns yesterday morning murdered
Thomas Bennett in his own house, and danger
onsly wounded his brother Samuel. He says the
excitement among the Genties (all who are not
saints at this cold blooded murder of peaceabie
i'll. nit f.or full,
that nothing short of general fight and massacre
can alay their rage AT the time he left there ten
O'clock the fishermen and Indians were collecting
at Mackinley's Point, preparatory to an attack on
the Mormons, who were also mastering their forces
in anticipation of this fight; and while l am
writing this communication, the work of death
may be going on. The plea set up by the Mormons
in justification Of this sanguinary murder of an
unofending man is, that the BENEFITS offered resist
ance to so or 60 Mormons who came to arrest them,
with warrants, on charge of having said the pre-.
vious day that they would not recognize Mormon
law.

South Carolina REPRESENTATION.

The Greenville Patriot gives us the information
we desired, a few days since, and promises soon to
give detailed statement Of the actual operation of
the representative basis. We think the people of
the mountain districts have much more ground to
secede from Carolina, than that State has to secede
from the Union
Equality I'VE return our sincere thanks TO
our venerable friend in Chester, for his commune
cation on the subject of the parish representation
over the signature Of Equality" The New Or
leans Crescent has called on the Southern Patriot
to analyze the representation of the State of South
Carolina, and show how many voters can control
the Legislature of the State, and how much pro-
perty they possess, etc. This we intend to do at
some future time, and it will show that the gross.
est injustice exists In our representation, and if
borne longer by the upper country, we have no
right to call ourselves republicans 1t will be seen
from our correspondents communication, that 1911
persons, living in the parishes and paying taxes to
the amount $9375, have as much power in the
Senate of South Carolina as IS ,65l persons, living
IN the upper country, who pay $43, 1928 80 cents,
taxes! !! In other words, one freeman in the lower
country counts as much as forty-fipe in the upper
couniry!! And one dollar, in taxes paid in The
parishes, is worth five dollars paid in the noun

as much as they do whom he votes out of the
Union. This is as tits in England One man, the
king, declares war, and the people do all the
fighting and pay all the expenses of the war! So
1t is in South Carolina. The parishes declare war,
vote US out of the Union, and then make the peo.

expenses. This is a very just and reasonable

doubtless, these measures will soon be the stand

The Anti-Aboli,ion Resolutions had been sum
