 The First lpfantry Battalion, under Colonel Markham, leaves here for Virgin to-day. to take the position from which they had been previously drawn. Their duty, I presume, will be to protect the transit route in case pas sengers are menaced

 for tue True Deaaocrat"-
 Str-ln your "report" of the proceed lngs of the House last week, upon the re- port and bill upon the subject of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, presented by the chairman of the committee on internal improvements, am erroneously reported as follows:
 :" Mir. Gibson moved to reject the report of said committee, because he had not seen the re- port nor the bill, although he was member of said committee and had instructed for the bill and moved that the bill be laid upon the table until Friday week.
 Believing it to be your wish and intention to report every member correctly, and not place any in false position before the country, feel assured that you will cheerfully make the necessary correction, by causing to be publish ed Tn the next issue of the True Democrat the accompanying extract from the Journals certified by the secretary of the House; which embraces all that is properly of record in re- gard to my course on that occasion.
 Very respectfully,

It appears that we did mis-report Dr. Gib- sons position upon the subject alluded to above, but 1t was unintentional on our part, and it af- lords us great pleasure to make the correction which he requests. We were at considerable distance from Dr. Gibson at the time the con- troversy on the report of the committee on in ternal Improvements occurred and we did not hear distinctly all that he said, and we gave last week what we thought was correct re- port.
 We expect to report the proceedings of the legislature during the present session, and we will endeavor to do so fairly and correctly, but should we make any mistakes, or place any member in a wrong position before the coum- try, (which we will try to avoid,) we stand ready at all times for correction.
 For the courtesy of both branches of our legislature in inviting me to seat within their respective halls and for the hospitality extend ed to me by the members during the present session, return my sincere thanks.

 MT. Turner stated that his object for intro ducing this resolution, was to economise time and to expedite business. The legislature he said, should spend DO idle time at the capitol, that as the people had sent them here at great expense, they demanded vigilance, industry and dispatch at our hands, and 1t behooves us as faithful public servants to be in session almost constantly until the objects for which we are sent here are consummated.
 With these considerations he said, he hoped that the House would adopt this resolution.
 But the resolution was rejected.
 Mir. Gray offered the following resolution:

For the True Democrat TO JENNY WREN

Sweet warbler, have heard thy song, From the green garden sprays among,
 Or meath some cottage cave; Where thou dost bask in Phebus' rays, Weaving llis golden beams in lays UT thy lov'd home of earlier days;
 To me glad reprieve How fresh is thy bird-carol. free From all aft cted minstrelsy,
 And all the " tricks of art;n Like welcome show'rs of April rain To grateful earth, so not in vain, Falls the full cadence of thy strain
 Upon the listning heart. How freely would go in quest, Where thou, sweet warbler, bold'st thy nest,
 If, but my steps to guide, Thy merry song would indicate, What paths to tread-what wicket gate, Conducts to thy fair bow'r of state,
 At morn, or even tide Sing, then, sweet songster, once again, And let the burden of thy strain
 Be thine own sunny home; Then, if no threatning tempests iy. With scowling rage athwart the sky, Foleboding evil to mine eye,
 Expect to see me come. Little Rock, Nov. 20, 1858. HUNSDON

Mr. Gibson, stated, that though member of the committee, he had not seen the report; and did not know that the report, as read, would be made; that he was not opposed to the road nor to the bill as reported by the committee but that he wished time to consider the report, and hoped that the chairman of the committee would withdraw 1t for that purpose.

The Fremonters have much to say about the large majorties of their candidates in a few of the Siates particularly Massachusetts, New York, Maine and Vermont; but suppose we take look at the whole field. We shall then find that Fremont is farther behind in the pop ular than in the electoral vote. For it must be remembered that in fifteen States of the Union he has no votes at all, or so few that they are not worth naming. Therefore the whole Bu- chanan vote of those fifteen States is a majority against Fremont. We are inclined to think that the votes of the three candidates in the nation at large, Counting South Carolina as 300O0 for Buchanan and none for either of the other candidates) will be in the neighborhood of what follows viz.
