ARKANSAS PUNIsHING OHIo.-Our readers will
not fail to be interested in the account of the legis-
lative resolutions of Arkansas and New IIamp-
shire, which will be found in another column. 1t
will be seen that the Arkansas legislature devotes
one resolution to the especial benefit Of Ohio. 1t
has finally found out the way to punish us for hay
ing abolition presses, and for releasing persons
from the felons who have the audacity to attempt
to hold them as slaves on our soil. Utmost solemn
ly resolved, THAT it is the duty and the interest Of
the people Of Arkansas to discountenance all socia
and commercial relations with the citizens of said
State, (0hio,) and the same is hereby earnestly
recommended as the punishment of past outrages
and a preventative of further aggressiOns."
What a terrible infection Never more to have
lthe benefits of the "social relations" of such citi,
zens Of Arkansas as the bully, Borland, of Grey
town notoriety--neve to have the privilege of ex
tending Buckeye hospitality to Arkansas kidnap
pers or their chivalrous employers. Well, We
must stand it, at whatever cost to our social refine
ment and pleasure, for there is little hope tina
Ohio will estimate Arkansas society sufficiently
high to abstain from further aggressions" Of tn
kind complained of. As to the dissolution of com
mercial relations, none will shed tears on that ac
count, except the Democrats Of Cincinnati anH
their new found friends, the hunEer Wing rive
merchants, who don't think Mr.. Chase is the choice
Of Hamilton county for Governor, and who wer'
going to get up another candidate, but have no
done it. They will weep and wall, but give it VI
a, last when they find their profits are unhlrmsd

BsYD DANIEL S. DICKINSON, of New York, de-
clined being nominated for President at the
National Convention in Baltimore in 1852. The
ladies showered boqucts from the Gallery upon
him for such unheard of patriotism and self
denial. Senator Dickinson then huzzaed for
Pierce with stOntorian lungs, and used all his
powers to secure his election. Hear now what
he says about the Administration Of his own
choice:
There never was a time when the return OF
the Democratic party to power was more neces'
sary for the success and honor Of the country,
from the time the Presidential chair was filled
by Washington TO the time it became gacaHt by the
cceapation Of The present iscanJeat."

Lynch LAw-PRoBABLE MURDER.-We Learn
from u passenger on the steamboat Virginia, which
passed here not long since, that about daylight
after leaving here, at q woodward, a man was ac
cused by q watch man with having stolen sixty
dollars from a passenger. There was no other evi
dence against the fellow than that the Waterman
had seen him near the berth whence the money
was stolen. The passengers and officers of the
boat tied the poor man, aud leading him ashore,
shaved off one side Of his head, stripped off his
clothing, and stretching him on the ground, one
large man standing on his neck, and another on
hts legs, while two or three stood over him, whip
ping him with big sticks for one hour, until he
was almost dead. The lynchers were demonstrated
with by one Of the passengers, but he was soon
given to understand that he would be treated in
ike manner if he interfered. The poor man beg
ged his prosecutors to kill him at once and put him
out of his misery, but the cowardly villains pre-
ferred to torture him to death. We have this
Statement from Il most reliable gentleman who
witnessed the affair himself, and is loud in his de-
nunciatiOn of the officers Of the boat. The poor
man that was so brutality whipped would not ac-
knowledge the theft. Cur informant states, from
circumstances which afterward came to his know.

RELIGION IN MISSOURI.

The following sketch Of the religion OF Missouri
is from mn address delivered some weeks since in
New York by tho Rev. Mr.. Starr who was expell.
cd from Weston because he was not sufficiently
pro-slavery for that place
The late Platte county Elimination against
Northern Methodist ministers was directed against
a fine old man who confined himself principally
to cultivating a very fine farm he had about four
miles from Weston, and a poor German preacher
who might perhaps get 500 a year for preaching
to three or four congregations. Then came the
Baptist divided into two classes. The first be-
itoved in fate and p%racticcd their belief so far as
Slavery and Temperance. They were called
Hard Sides. lie had heard of seven ministers
in the same town being drunk on one day
The next wero the Complexities numbering
two hundred thousand. The arrangements of
this church were to take in everything. 1t had
no particular doctrines, but if q man void say
~ believe Jesus Christ is the Son of Go1' and
would carry out his belief and be baptized 10y inn
mersion he would be saved. lie had studied this
system for five years and this he thought to be the
essence Of it. lie considered that to bc a doctrine
more debauching to religious sentiments than any
other. 1t was making the way Of salvation too
easy. The effect was most disastrous upon other
denominations, especially the Methodist Church.
In the the South there was a greater strife among
denominations than in the North, and other church
es took in members who were insuficientiy con-
verted. Tho Cumberland Presbyterian Church had
adopted Methodist doctrines ami were far more efici
ent there than the Old or the New School. In emo.
tional meetings the Cumberland Church could lead
everything. They preached the longest sermons
prayed the longest prayers and spOtted their hands
the hardest of all. The Old and New School Pres
byterians were about equal and they grew slowly
and solidly. Their churches were the most inAu
entail. The Old School in the South was par ex

first day of the July term of Fauquier County
Court, two negro women, who had been freed
about a year ago, were sold, in compliance with a
previous order of the court, for remairing in the
commonwealth contrary to law.
These negroes were emancipated by the will OF
John Edmunds, deceased, formerly Of CuIpepper
county, with the condition that they should first
serve Joseph uorner,of Warrenton, for the term of
twenty years. After gaining their freedom, they
went to the District Of Columbia. Having become
tired of the streets OF such freedom as they there
found, they voluntarily returned and asked to be
sold as slaves, for tic privilege Of remaining ia
the commonwealth. - Virginia Sentinel Juty 26.

Pork AND WmsKY.-In allusion to the com
mon plea that distelleries afford a market for
corn, aud keep up the price, the Chic Civilization
says:
Ohio pork would command g or 50 more pei
barrel in some Of the Eastern Markets, if pur.
schasers could be assured that none of it was still
fed, and that generally, the farmers of Ohio lose
at least 81 per barrel ON all the pork sold, from
this cause, amounting to at least half a million OF
dollars for the State. Also, that the value of land;
would be greatly enhanced in our neighborhood'
if these nuisances could be renewed and tina
such is their influence en- the community arounG
them that intelligent persons avoid purchasing
farms in their vicinity. 1t is likewise stated tina
there are many townships in Ohio where the land
are deprcciated fully % per cent. from this cause.

PRESENTED TO

REMOVAL OF Gov. REEDER.-The rump legislature
of Kansas has prepared a memorial to President
Pierce, praying for the removal OF Gov. Reeder.
The Governor has proved himself neither man nor
mouse. Evidently he was inclined to play the
mouse for the Executive, but had too many incli-
nations towards manhood to do it gracefully or
thoroughly. Thus he can please neither party,
and besides will most likely involve the Kansas
question in greater difficulties than though he had
taken one side or the other of the question. Nest
likely the President will be found willing to grant
the prayer offered him.
The PRAYER ANswERED.-Since we wrote the
above, we learn that President Pierce has hastered
to answer the Missouri Prayer, almost before its
utterance could have reached him. Ito has re
moved Gov. Reeder from office, and appointed il
his stead John L.. Dawson, of Pennsylvania. Daw
son was a member of the last Congress, and voted
for the Nebraska bill.

Q. NJ. CLAY SUsTAINED.-The Louisville journal
speaks of Mossrs. Clay and Fees triumph in
Rockcastle County. Courage commands respect,
as well as wins success. The Journal says:
eve think that such opinions az those of Mr..
Clay and MIR. Fee are wrong and of a mischievous
tendency, but we rejoice to see Mr.. Clay vindicat-
ing fearlessly the freedom Of speech. Emancipa-
%tionists have a right to speak their opinions public
ly in Kentucky, so long as they speak them only to
white men. We abhor mob law, and we thank ey-
cry man, who, like Cassius NJ. Clay, has the man
illness to set it at defiance.

be held in Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, Iowa,
Missouri and Texas. Alabama, Kentucky and
Texas elect Members of Congress.
COLONEL WALKER, who entered into a fill
clustering partnership with Colonel Kinney against
Central America has been completely defeated,
while his partner Kinney has suffered s~hipwreck.
UNDERoRouND RAIL RoAD.-A Correspondent
from Philadelphia writes that the branch of the
Underground Rail road through that city, is doing
a most Houlishing business of late, and that two
or three instances have recently occurred of the
release of persons who were in the hands of kid
nappers. We are happy to add that business on the
U. G.. track through this place has been unusually
brisk of late. Passengers all safe.
