70 A late number of the Louisville
Journal contains the following advice to
the American party The popular policy,
we think. for the American party to pursue,
is, first. to secure its nationality secoud, to
select none for Office but men of decided
ability, and, when practicable, of some prac-
teal experience; third. to abnegate. to
great extent, the practice of placing preach
ers in the Legislature or Congress; fourth,
to proclaim the rinciples and platform of
the party to the world by authority fifth,
TO avoid ultraism in reference to foreigners
or to anything else and, last. to maintain
in all its vigor, at least for the present, the
secrecy of the individual member

Our advices from St. Domingo, says the
New York Herald, bring intelligence of
the explosion of plot to overthrow the Do
minican government with view to African
ise the republic and place it under the yoke
Of the Haytien Emperor. From the con-
duct of the English and French consuls--
the former protesting and the latter In
sis'ing upon the enlargement of some of the
traitors-it looks as if the allied govern
ments had lent their countenance to the con-
spiracy. The period fixed upon for the
outbreak-the 18th of March-was known
for months before, and the arrival of the
French feet just about that period was re-
garded as a con6rmatory proof of their
views. The French admiral supported the
Consul's demand for the liberation of
Frenchman who was implicated in the plot.
by the threat of bombarding the city in case
of refusal. The government was compelled
to give up the prisoner.

BOUNTY LANp.-The following informa-
tion from Washington may be Of interest to
many who may conceive themselves entitled
to Bounty Land under the act of Congress.
approved Sd of March 1855.
Persons employed in the revenue cutter
service do not belong TO the navy. The
fact that revenue cutter in time of war,
was employed to carry instructions does not
change her organic character; under this
view of the question the officers and crews
of the revenue cutter service, no matter
where Or when employed, are not entitled
to bounty land under the act of March Sd,
1855.
In the case of woman marrying twice
and surviving both husbands, and both en-
titled to bounty land, she is entitled to bu!
one bounty, but she may make her election
under either husband. If there be minor
children living of the non-elected husband
they q re also entitled to land
No captain, pilot, or engineer, or any one
else employed in the Government transports
are entitle d TO bounty land under said act.

Russia AND THE CoNFEgENcEs.-Th'
London Morning Adrertiser Of the ID ut,
says,
We can state, from good authority, that
both the French and English Governments
are well aware, from certain circumstances
which haze transpired, that Russia never
intended, from the first. to come to terms OF
peace at the Vienna Conference, and that
her sole object in taking part in those Con-
ferences. and in making show of mOdera,
ton in her demands in regard to the hrst
and second points, was, that she might make
capital out of her seemingly pacific dlspos'
sition 1t is believed that Immediately al
ter the conclusion of the Conferences, Count
Nesselrode will address another of bis most
elaborate circulars to the various Courts OF
Europe. in which the moderate pretenslons
of Russia will be emphatically dwelt upon,
and she represented as having been most
unjustly treated by the other powers.

Melancholy Occurrence.

A feeling OF sadness was spread over our
town upon the reception Of the intelligence
Of the melancholy death, at Little Rock on
the 9Th inst. of DAVID j. WALKER, son of
DR.. JAMES H. WALKER, of this county, in
the Goth year of his age
The deceased was a young. man, of no.
BILE impulses and of more than ordinary
ability and promise Amiable in his dispo-
sition, temperate, and studious in his habits,
and modest and unassuming in his deport-
ment he had among US large circle of ar
dent and devoted friends who mourn his
fate with heartfelt sorrow Emulous of dis
tinction in the profession of his choice-that
Of the law-he applied himself diligently
to his studies, and by too close application
impaired an overtasked constitution and
brought upon himself disease which he
regarded as an irremovable barrier to all
his cherished aspirations and desires. That
his ambitious hopes of arriving at eminence
and distinction should be thus thwarted, was
too much for his sensitive spirit to bear-it
fell with crushing force, and preferring deaR
! TO anything short of the fulilment of his
highest aspirations he put an end to his own
existence. He was subject to unhappy fits Of
bypochondria which grew and increased with
his age. and were gradually becoming almost
part of his nature. and doubtless It was this
unfortunate feature of his constitution that
led TO this melancholy event.
Thus has passed away noble young man,
whose everv wish as far as wealth could ac-
complish it. was gratifed. and Who, apart
from the disease that preyed upon his mind,
had at his command. every thing that could
make life desirable.
Most sincerely do we condole with his af-
flicted Father, his numerous relatives and
friends in their sad bereavement
