" WAREEN, Esq, ill the Rector House, at these celebrated Springs, and being sole propre- tor. will be prepared from the first day of February 1855, to accommodate visitors ill the st comforta- be manner and at the most reasonable rates.

 The thousand miraculous cures performed by the hot bathing at these springs have astonished the most scientific. RIEUMATIsM, PARALYSIS, SoRoFU- LA SYPHILIS, and almost every other disease readily yield to the efficacy of the baths.

Tribute of Respect.

At special meeting of Gainesville (Ark. } Lodge Mo- 75, the following preamble and re- solutions were adopted:
 WHEREAS, By the dispensaton of an all- wise and overrulling providence our esteemed friend and worthy brother, SINGLETON CAPLAND one of the members of this Lodge, has been ta- ken from our midst, and the spirit of him whose countenance gave encouragement and whose wise and philosophical suggestions gave weight and solemnity to our councils, has winged its way to commune with spirits of just men in that great Grand Lodge above which shall be convened when our Almighty Father, the maker and ruler of the universe, shall summon the nations of the earth to the bar of his judgment. And whereas, we, by this dspensaton of be- nefcent providence, are forced to sever our as- sociations with one of our aged, worthy and noblest brothers whose good conduct. able judgment and pure heart endeared him to all with whom he male acquaintance--we can- not forego the occasion to express our grief as amemento to the memory of his departed worth. Be 1t, therefore,
 ResolCed, That we have lost an enlightened and useful member of our Lodge and that with the relatives of the deceased we most sincerely sympathise.
 ResotUed, That this manifestation of our grief for our deceased brother, shall be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge, that the Secretary be ordered to draw off copy and send it to the True Democrat and the Arkansas w big; two pa- pers published in Little Rock, Arkansas, for pub licatlon, requesting the editors to give this one insertion, and that the Secretary be requested further to transmit a copy of the same to the bereaved family. The dreaded monster Water swallowed brother Capland, in spite of all his physical powers, while attempting to cross the St. Francis river, at Chalk Bluffs, some 10 miles from his residence He was drowned on the 9th day of January, A.

protect, no heart to pity his closing scene. Brother Capland was born in South Carolina, Pendleton District, Dec 22, D. 1900 His noble remains smiling in death, were carefully deposited in the bosom of their mother earth with Masonic honors, but his precepts of good ness will be long cherished in our hearts. halo of Masonic glory will surround his tomb until the morning of his resurrection, as did the unbroken chain of fraternal hands at his burial Resol0ed, That the members of this Lodge will wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 days

A WILD MAN CAUGHT IN MA1NE-A Mr. J :. W. McHenrl, who lives near Waldoboro', Main. has actually captured awild man. On first see- ing him, Mr. Nell says: ~
 "The little fellow turned a most implorine look upon me, and then uttered sharp shriek, resembling the whistle of an engine I took him to my house and tried ,o induce him to eat some meat, but failed in the attempt; I then, offered him some water, of which he drank a small quantity. 1 next gave him some dried beach nuts, which he cracked and ate raDidlv He is of the male species, about eighteen inches in height, and his limbs rein perfect proportion. With the exception of his face, hands and feet, he is covered with hair of jet black hue Whoever may wish to see this strange specimen of human nature can gratify their curiosity by calling at my house, ill the eastern part of Wal doboro', near the Trowbrdge Tavern. 1 give these facts to the public to see if there is any one who can account for this wonderful phe- nOmenOn.

To GEORGE D. PRENTICE,
 0f H5e Louisville Journal:

In your paper of the 8th ult after assailing others you proceed to use the following lan- guage concerning myself: Mr. Davts Thomp- 8o, too, of Lelena, has been very inUeterae agast us, bW he loas recently indicted at Little Rock tor c Psatte'ttary 9fence, and f he had not preclpi- tately Fet te Would proudly ere his have recelUed AiS sentence"
 Had you been a gentleman you would have scOned to entertain such thought, much less to express it. Had you possessed the slightest spark of honor, or the least vestige of decency, you would have suffered your right arm sever ed from your body, rather than resort to such a mode of venting your spleen. Had you not been a coward and sanderer you would have spoken the truth plainly in the premsies, in- stead of concealing 1t as you have done beneath forms of expression amounting to gross per version of fact. You were converSant with all the circumstances on which rests the supposed commission of the penitentiary offence" for which 1 was "recently indicted" You had not forgotten that you-a foreign emissary- came to Little Rock at the instance of an asso- ciatlon of foreign land -jobbers and speculators; that you lndecently arrogated to yourself the position of adviser to our General Assembly 'hen Tn session; that you impertnently busied yourself in controversy that did not concern you; that you impudently purloined the name ol Arkansas to conceal your identity as a writer Tn Little Rock newspaper; that, as such writer and over that stolen signature you wan tonly outraged and insulted one who had not asSalled you; that upon demand for satisfac- non you at first equivocated and then shame !ully refused it, under the pitiful plea Gas com Ing from you) of conscientious scruples. "- that, after threat to post you as a liar and a coward, you disclaimed all design to give of iaence; and that because of my acting as the friend of him you causelessly insuted-and be- cause of that alone was recently indicted at Little Rock" All these facts were fresh in your recollection when you wrote and published the sentence have quoted; and notwithstanding the lawyer-like adrotness with which, at the expense of your small stock of honor. you cAtncated yourself from the difficulty in which your ohcousness involved you at Little Rock, you cannot by any effort of your low ingenuity elude condemnation at the hands of honorable men Tor your assassin-like stab at the friend of 'Vur iofiner opponent You may boast of your

Imaginary prominence, and your toadies may sing paans to you evermore. but all men will consider that you do but glory in your own shame and revel in your own infamy. The common verdict of such as hear of you will be that you have confessed yourself coward by offering an insult and refusing atonement. and have proclaimed yourself hypocrite and liar by prating about " conscientious scruplesv v and then deliberately garbling the facts and falsifv. ing the truth. Not one will be found to denv that nature has aptly given you deformed body and loathsome and distorted connte- nance as indlces to the utter corruption of your soui' H. indeed, so base thing may have a soul.
 Your assertion that "fled prccipitately' is simply lie. You yourself left in the night hme-1 left afterwards in broad daylight.- I ou may have gone to Louisville "precipitate. ly." l came by easy stages home. Since then, by Legislative subpoena, as witness in the swamp land investigation, have been in Little Rock. 1 remained after my discharge as such witness, only leaving when the General Assembly adjourned, and then without "preci- pltatlon." have borne arms in the service of my country and never ''fed' or hid myself from danger. Can as much be said of you?
 But why waste words in such a contest!- Why enter the lists as a disputant with one who, surpassing all others in cowardice, lying and islander, excels even himself in low and malignant scurrility? For the future. entertain yourself and disgust decent men with your empty vaporing and bawdy- house witticisms. I have done with you.

 Heaped sorrow on his head. Father, she has left hy flock,
 For better fold on high: lie who gave--has ta'en her back To mansions in the sky.
