AN ARKANSAS oNOATlS,n

In recent tour through one Of the Wild

of that versatile geius, "Pete Whetstone,')
arrived at the ferry on Cache River A little
log house grocery stood on or, near the bank
about fifteen steps, from where the ferry fat
lay tied to snag in the edge Of the river
Several bear skins, deer skins, and coon
skins were nailed up to dry against the walls
Of the grocery But the door " as closed, and
no barkeeper, ferryman, or other person was
in sight. halooed at the top OF my voice
some half dozen times, but no one answered
Seeing an advertisement on the door, | read
as follows:
"NoArIs,-ef emmy buddy Gums bear artel

In obedience to the "noats," | took the
blowing horn, which stuck in the crack of the
wall, close by the door and gave it "toot"
or two, which reverberated far around throug
the cane and swamp; and in few moments
was answered by a voice scarcely less loud
and reverberating than that Of the horn. II

The LATE COLLECTOR OF SAN FRANcIsco.-
John A. Collier of Binghampton, is out with
a letter explanatory of the alleged defllcation
of James Collier, late Collector of San Fran

OF noise made in the newspaper Mr.. j. A.
Collier says it is all mere matter of differ

all sure, he also says
The sureties on two official bonds in suit
are George Law, ESQ.,. OF New York, and
John A. Collier. If their responsibility is
questioned, it will probably be time to discuss
that point when the government shall recover
judgment against them. In the meantime,
it is scarcely worth while for the public to get
tldgety on the su5ject. Perhaps they will
think it not unreasonable 10 wait until ii be
ascertained whether anything is due.

APPOINTMENTS.

President Pierce is getting it right and lef
from some of his democratic friends and Just
Iy too, on account ofsomc Of his appointment:
The Ohio State Journal says the kind broth
erly feeling in the Locofoco ranks. about these
days, gets no better fast. The New York
Igpening Post, the most influential and sub
stani;al Locofoco paper in that city, and edited
by the poet BaYAST, has the following com
ment upon the late appointments:
"REcoMMENDArIoN FOR THE PRESIDENT
The Sun OF this morning, after considering
the appointments OF Belmont and Siokes to
important positions abroad, recommends Cap
tain Isaiah Rynders for the mission 10 France
with Joe Jewell as the secretary of legation
Mike Walsh as chage 10 Vienna. and Yankee
Sullivan for the commissonership Of Cons;an
tinople The selections are consistent, With
the exception of Walsh. whom we think man
Of too much character and ability to serve in
the connection"
This is bitter language to employ towards
the head Of opn's party. The SUI, is profess
sedly neutral. but il took decided ground in
favor Of PIERCE before the late presidential
election. 1t is cured of its folly. and wishes
to forget its help in that campaign, In the
course OF a late article on the Presidents sp-
pointments il says:
"Since we read the official announcement
of the appointment by the President OF Dan
iel RSick!es, OF New York, 10 the Secretary
of Legation Of the United States at London,
new light has broken in upon our mind.
We think we now understad what the Presi-
dent meant when he said in his Inaugural,
"a claim for Office is what Ms people of re-
public should never recognize" 1t is for the
President, not the people to recognize the
claim; and we are very certain but few Of
the people will recognize Dan Sickles' claim
to the Secretary Of Legation at London"
These are but drops from the bucket
There is a tide Of inyective agains. the course
of the administration that augurs any thing
but pleasant sailing for four years TO come.
How can it be otherwise? A dozen factions
united to elect PIERCE. Each one hoped and
expected TO CONTROL him and secure the spoils.
Eleven Of the dozen must be disappointed.
and as that bond Of union is severed, what
can be expected but contentious, and hard
words and new Combinations

pedient to demand pledge from any other
person or persons, who NAV, at our next elec.

9th. We believe it to be the solemn du-
~ OF the dominant party to present to The
people, competent worthy men, and pledge d
in favor fsuch law as the above named, to
fil the several stations we have above men
toned.
9Th. If the said party will presen. us such
men we will pledge ourself to vote for them,
and do all in our power to secure their cleo
ton
9Th. II the dominant party ,cM not nom-
mate candidates pledged in favor Of such
law, we are in favor, in that event, of using
the most efficient means to secure the elec-
ton of men 10 these stations, who will pledqe
themselves.
Now We honestly think, there is nothing un-
reasonable in our position, yet we doubt but
little, some will think we are quite unreason-
able. We will not, however argue the case.
We will leave it to the good sense, and better
feelings Of the people n decide upon it.
