EXCELLENT CHAMPAGNE.-We have to make our acknowledgements to Maj. A. J. HUTr for a couple of bottles of as fine champagne wine as we ever tasted. He has just received large supply of this excellent article of the brand of Jules Mae'nna 9- Co. Rhiems and also very superior article of brandy. We can recom- mend those who desire to purchase fine liquors to call upon Maj. Hut. He has the best.

Judge Thomas Fletcher.

The following letter from Judge Fletcher to the Pine Bluff Republican, makes known his acceptance of the nomination, conferred upon him by the democracy of the senatorial district. composed of the counties of Jefferson. Arkan sas and Desha.
 We congratulate the democracy of this dis trict upon having secured nominee so we'll qualified, by the possession of eminent abilities and social moral qualities, to represent them in the State Senate with honor and distinction.- Having known Judge Fletcher ever since his removal to this State, and esteemed him as a gentleman and valuable citizen, we do not think we can recommend him too highly to the confidence and support of the voters of his dis trct
 The nomination came upon him unsolicited, and he accepts 1t as duty he owes to the party he belongs to and to the people among whom he resides. 4 better selection, in our opinion, could not have been made, and we trust the voters of the district will elect him to serve them. They could not do better:
 
 the democracy of Desha county, and also re- commended by the democratic convention of Jefferson as a suitable person to represent you in the Senate of the next general assembly," you will please present my name as a candidate for the suffrages of the people of this Senato- rial district, comprising the counties of Arkan- sas, Desha and Jefferson. Devoted to the pur- suits of the farm, and no taste for the bitter struggles of party, it is with much diffidence I have yielded to the wishes of my neighbors and many friends ill different parts of the district
 Residing in the centre of the same, embracing three of the most productive counties of the State, and identified by occupation and feeling with their interest, every effort will be made if their choice, to develop her rich resources, and promote the harmony and welfare of my con- stituency.
 Confident that others more competent-of more enlarged experience and taste for political life, might have been selected by the majority of the district, to discharge the duties of the office, yet trust, in zeal for the prosperity, in devotion to the true interests of Arkansas, in honest pride at the high destiny that awaits her by prudent and wise Legislation, I may not prove an unworthy representative of my adopted and beloved State

lEeT The principles involved in the Nebras- ka bill meets the almost universal appreciation of the slave States, without regard to party.- Now and then faint opposition is got up by over zealous whig prints because the bill ema- mated from democratic Senator This seem- ed to be the cause of the violent opposition ma- infested by the Whig, of this city, short time since. In contrast to that opposition, we give below an article from the Memphis Eagle and

Passage of the Nebraska Bill.

We believe that few weeks, or months at most, will satisfactorily demonstrate that the prophecies made by its enemies of renewal of terrible sectional strife, were sheer fallacies.- A few leaders, like Horace Greeley, may fret and fume, and in their mad raving seek to get the country in a turmoil; but the masses of the people, everywhere, are animated by sound and healthy conservatism. With the adjust ment of 1850 the power for evil of these fana- tical disturbers of the public peace was broken, and their growing now is but the expiring groan of dying monster.
 That, practically, the South will be in any wise gainer by the passage of the Kansas Ne- braska bill-that is to say, that there is any likelihood of thase territories being created into slave States, we have not believed. But there is principle involved dearer than positive sec~ tinoal benefts-a principle which touches the most sensitive part of a proud peoples sensi- bility and pride. The tax on tea was, practi- cally, very small matter to our ante-revoluti- onary ancestors; but the odious principle of tax ation without representation provoked and ius- tifed the successful seven years struggle for our National Independence.
 We rejoice that this bill has passed. Itis the complete restoration of the constitution in all
