communication from our correspondent N,
giving very graphic and glowing descrip-
tion Of the I'ableaug, that recently came
off at Columbus. We have no doubt it was
a splendid thing, if all "M" says is true,
which we do not doubt He seems to regret
our absence. Well, the truth is, we wanted
to go, but got no limitation. though we tried
our best to get one. Somebody will get
whipped about that Tablraux yet, for we are

tremendous Excitement.

The Circuit Court of Lafayette county,
which commenced its session last week en-
panneled jury. to try the case of the State
as. Jones, indicted for murder The trial
closed on last Thurs day, and it was soon
ascertained, that the jury could not agree
They came in and Informed the court, that
there was no possibility of agreeing, and
asked to be discharged. But the Attorney
for the State and those for the defence, were
memorable. They would not consent to
their discharge, and consequently, the court
ordered the sheriff 10 take them to their
room again. and there to keep them until
they agreed and that they were not ''to
be permitted to disperse," &c, &c Af-
ter being kept under lock and key for scve-
raj days one Of the jurors made his escape,
about day break on last Monday morning
leaving the other eleven to make up a YER
dict to suit themselves. The absorbing
juror has not been heard of since; and it
may be that he has fed from the State
He left behind him, no trace by which he
could be trailed up and caught We hope
he may ultimately be captured and brought
in and compelled to render some sort of
verdict; besides asking the pardon of the
court the prisoner, the Attorneys, and eve
rybody in Lafayette county, and mankind
generally. May ticks bite him, and owls
hoot at him, as long as he remains in the
woods! May his diet be thin Cruel and
musty sea biscuit May chinches worry
him by night and his fellow beings taunt
him by day! May he be compelled to drink
his coffee without sugar. and as further
punishment, may he be compelled to serve
on every jury in Lafayette and hear the Re-
cords of the Circuit, Probate and County
courts of that county read daily the rest of
his life.

RAFT MEETrNG.-By reference to cur
columns, there will be found the proceedings
Of a meeting of the planters of Lafayette
county, at Lewisville, to take into consider
alton the subject Of the removal of the raft.
Col. James B. Gilmer addressed the meet
ing and submitted a proposition, the sub
stance of which, will be seen in the report
of the proceedings We understand that
bis views meet with much favor, and are
very generally aoquiesced in by the people
Of Lafayette county, and we have heard
some of our own citizens speak in favor Of
Col. Giln1er's scheme. 1t is subject all
important to US, and let US do all we can to
get navigation.
The planters of Hampstead county are
therefore requested to meet at the Court
House in this place, on Monday next, to
take into consideration the subject OF the

Discovery OF NoLcANo.-The San
Francisco Courier publishes the following
extract from a report made by Lieut. Com
manding Julius Boyle, Of the T. s. store
ship Southampton, TO Commodore Perry:
"On the 29th Of October, near the l.
land of Formosa. discovered a volcano,
distant from the land about ten miles, in q
violent state Of eruption, throwing vast col
umns of vapor to an immense height,
resembling in appearance a similar phe-
nomenon which 1 witnessed some years
ago on the coast of Sicily. This, however,
| believe to be of greater magnitude and
force, although DO lava was visible through
the dense bank Of vapor or steam which
hung about it; and the depth Of water is
here much greater than On the Sicilian coast;
hence the above conclusion. When last
seen at o'clock p. m. it was in lively
state Of Of activity ard bore a r. y. ",
distant about 10 miles, in latitude about q
n. longitude 12150 Il. There was no
sail in sight, and | named i after John +

Our Town.

1t is with goodly degree of pride and
satisfaction that we walk through our town
and witness the rapid strides it is making
in almost every way. We have six stores
we'll filed with goods of every description !;
and two drug stores, where you can get any
and all kinds of medicines, that will cure
all diseases, from the scald-head to the toe
itch. We have two groceries, where all
sorts and qualities of liquors are sold in
quantities to suit purchasers. We have
two silversmith shops; FIVE blacksmith shops;
two wagon and carriage shops; two sad
dler shops; two boot and shoe shops; one
tin shop; one tailor shop, and one gin
shop two cabinet shops, where the neatest
sort of furniture is made on short notice
especially for cash customers We have
three schools, all going on swimmingly =
three churches, and two Sunday schools,
well attended. One printing press. from
which issues weekly, the Washington
Telegraph paper always full of whole
some truths.-and if our subscription list
increases, as it has for the last few weeks,
we will have to get at least another press
as good as the one we now have, in order to
enable US TO supply the increasing demand
for our paper. We have wide streets, good
houses, and well shaded yards and side
walks; and last, though by no means the
least of all, we have two of the best kept
hotels in Arkansas. They are owned and
kept by the right sort of men-men of char
acter and high moral worth. Such men,
and such only, should be permitted to keep
houses of entertainment They have no
bars filed with liquor, to attract the disso-
.ute and drunken to their houses, to the great
annoyance of the decent, orderly. and well
bred gentleman. This is precisely as it should
be and our two hotels are the only ones in
the State, as far as known to US, that have
banished whiskey from their bars Besides
this, when man stops at one of our hotels,
he will get the best TO eat, quiet room to
sleep in, and good bed, with clean, well
aired sheets to lie down in, with no vaga-
bond and ill-bred rufians to walk into his
room and interrupt him at any and all hours,
as is the case at the public houses generally
in Arkansas. We repeat that cur hotels
are the very best kept houses in the State
but we must say that the charges at them
are too low. At every other public house in
other towns in the State the charge is near
ly double as much as it is here No man.
when treated as himself and horse are at
our hotels, will grumble at 81 80 per night
Put up your charges, gentlemen landlords
The community will not complain, and it
is bat justice to yourselves that you should
do it. 1t is impossible for you to make
any thing at the present rates. Try it, and
we viii guarantee the complete success of
the experiment.

In which England admits, in the present

make free cargoes. England also renounces
the right Of search for the impressment of

New GUNs.-By reference to the adver-
tisement Of our fellow-townsmen, Messrs.
ToLER & Hooks, it will be seen that they
have opened a splendid lot of rites We
have examined these guns. and find them
superior to any gun we have ever seem
They are of the highest polish, and Of most
exquisite workmanship. They have been
pronounced far preferable to any gun now
in use. For simplicity Of construction, ra-
pidity of firing, and extraordinary range and
accuracy, they are unequa,ed The bar
rel and moving parts are of the finest
wrought steel; and The Board of Ord
nance at Washington city. have pronounced
these rifles superior to Helms or Jennings
rifle, or to those of Perry or Welch.--
They will carry a ball, with great accuracy,
half mile. We should think they would
do better for this country than any guns
known to us. as they can be loaded and dis
charged ten times IN minute.' Go and
see them.
