 The gold mines on the Red Fork of the Ar kansas continue to excite the people here. The strong, leaves here tomorrow for the new dig gings This company is headed by Mir. Ed ward Featherstone, and has amongst 1t some of the best and most enterprsing citizens of Scott county. As yet we have been unable to hear from the companies who went out from this place, and have no positive information on the subject further than have before stated, except let ter said to have been received by old man Lat imore of the Cherokee nation from relative at the mines, which tells him that hands are ave- raging twenty-five dollars Der day. Some of our people went over to see Latlmore and learn the contents of the news from the mines, but, them that he had received the letter, but de- clined any explanation as to what it contained concerning the mines. A good many Chero- kees are preparing to leave for the diggings The river is still very low and falling we have had very heavy rains for two or three days past, but no hope is entertained of any rise It is confidently asserted here by the knowing ones that the Arkansas is too old to be got up any more. Our merchants have ceased to look up- on her with any favor and have commenced hauling their goods

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN KENTUcKY.-We learn from the Louisville Courier, of the 18th, that a man named Pullum, living in Garrard coun- ty, lost his life in a terrible manner recently He had been suspected oi running off slaves, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. A con- stable and three or four men went to the field where he was working and arrested him. - They then started to return, but after progress ing short distance the prisoer broke away He outran the officer and his posse; and the constable seeing his prize about to escape fired a pistol, hitting him in the back. He instantly fell screaming with pain, but just as the pursu- ing party came up, he arose and fled towards the Kentucky river. Coming to high cliff he fell first about seven feet, then ten, and finally over precipice thirty feet high, making the fall altogether of frty-seven feet. He then with last effort rose to his feet and plunged into the river Nothing more was seen of him.

Arrival of Steamer Asia-The Bombard-
 mont.
F. L. & T.

Hahtar, June 2O-The Cunard steamship Asia, Capt. Lott, has arrived here with intelli- gence to the 9th inst, three days later han that received at New York by the St. Louis. Her news continues the interest awakened bv that received by the last two steamers from Europe,
 The Crimea.
 The bombardment of the city of Sebastopol had been resumed, and was being prosecuted w tn great vigor.
 Lord Raglan had telegraphed to the British government, that after very fierce struggle, in which the loss on both sides had been very great, the French had succeeded in capturing the Mamelon and the White towers.
 The allies, according to the reports now being received, would appear to be everywhere suc- cessful, but we have not as yet any details of further movements of moment They are re- ported to have been continuing operations at the latest advices, with great energy
 The immensity of the loss on both sides, in the fight for the towers reported to have been captured, is strongly dwelt on.
 The general news by the Asia, beyond this, comprises little of importance.

Letter from Fayetteville.
Fayetteville, 22d June, Il

Fayetteville, 22d June, 1855. MIR. EDIToR:-Snce the advent of Sam or introduction of hao,0 nothingisna up here among the good people of this purely democratic re- zion, have been taking some pains in watch ing the movements of those that are known to belong to the mysterious order to see what could be seen and learn, if possible, something about know nothingiSm but all to no effect The midnight doings of the clan are only known to the inmates who congregate in gin houses huts, stables, and buildings situated on lonely and dark streets about town, where meet ings are held to consider of the nefarious plots and plans, gotten up originally by the white headed whig and abolition Y anke kees of the north. There are no doubt a few democrats here and elsewhere in this State associated with this un- holy concern. Those that have fallen in from the democratic fold who are and have always been true to democracy can not long remain with such experimentation of tricksters. Every day new developments are being made in relation to the grand objects to be accomplished by this mysterious association, which must soon prove
 
 what every consideratc man ought to know. that it is nothing more nor less then whig trick, intended to be played off on the country under guise of opposition to Catholics and fo regners. The scheme was we'll laid. nothing could have been invented that carried with it as great promise of success. The unpopularity of the Catholic religion was no doubt thought quite sufficient to array the whole Protestant force against Catholics, and in favor of kyow nothingism because this ism is against Catholics. American born citizens could as easily Dc array ed against foreigners because in many localities bad feelings exist between them, but notwith- standing the grandeur of tho scheme it is no go. The idea of a true lover of the republi- can institutions in this land of freedem, being associated with dark and mysterious clan, whose members are ashamed to own or confess their membership, a-d whose meetings and mid- night proceedin $ are without precedent, except in the history of proceedings at Murrelps Grand Scnhedrims in tho Mssssssgp; s,oon.ps is too
