From Batesviilc.
BatesW2ye. Feb. 29 1856,

BateSUtUe, Feb. 29, 1856.
 Mir. EDIToR:-After a laborious tour through the western counties of this district during the extreme cold weather with which we have been recently visited, Col. T. C. Hindman, jr, arrived here to-day, pursuant to notice.
 He was favored with large audience, to which he spoke with his accustomed zeal and ability. He sustained trumphantly the princi- ples of his party, and exposed in their varied phases, the many errors and inconsistencies of Know Nottingham. h addressing the people of this district, the Colonel has achieved much good to the democratic cause; he has eucouu- tered much that seemed inSurmountaBe and with d degree of zeal extraordinary met his appointments, with one exception. The impor- talce of having all able champion ill the field III the next canvass in this district, and the iCient service rendered by Col. Hindman dur iug his present tour, point him out to thu com ing convention as d most suitable man for the nolA!uatlon for Congress-; aA as the time for the meeting of the convention approaches his chances for that honor increase. The people generally approve the course of the present. in- cumbent, but deem it highly essential that whilst he sustars our interests ill Congress, Col. Hindman's talents should be called into requisition in upholding the principles of our party in the ensuing campaign. IL IS generally believed he is the iavortc of Independence.

IZaTtt tOuuty,

From a letter, dated Table Rock, March 3d, we gather the following items:
 "Col. lIndman was at Mt Olive on last Monday, and made oneof his very best speeches to a large andience of ladies and gentlemen.- He knocked off the rough corners and sharp points of Know Nottingham by an instrument called truth, sharper than ged sword- not to the parting asunder of soul and body but to the scarifying of poor Sans conscience, if he has any. True to their first principles, the Know Nothngs had been busy in crculat- ing a lying report that Col. Indman would run for Congress whether he got the nomination or not This the Colonel took occasion to em - phatcally deny, and said if the convention should not nominate him, he would not only vote for the nominee, but use all honorable means to secure his election.
 The democratic association of this county met at Mt. Olive on the l4sh of January. Col. John A. Beck and Rowland Saunders were chosen delegates to the state conventon and instructed to vote for E. X. Conway for Cover nor.
 On the first of March we had snow two inches deep."

Het Springs Congressional Convention.
 The following appears in the published pro- ee edings of the Princeton convention, May list, 1854 We are in receipt of letter from prominent democrat south who differs with us as regards the time selected by the Prince ton convention. This will certainly assure all who have any doubt about the matter
 MT. Warner offered the following resolution:
 ReSOtUed, That the democratic convention for the second district, meet at Candem on the SECOND MONDAY in May, 1856
 MT. Danley moved to amend by striking out Camden and inserting Hot Springs.
 The motion to strike out Camden and insert Hot Springs was adopted"
 The convention to be holden at Hot Springs from this, will be an adjourned meeting of the Princeton convention. It has been the practice of the democratic party to adjou,1s oUer to some specified time and place, and in stating the 2d Monday in May, we felt we were sustained by the usages of the party. We hope the coun- ties will all recognize this time in order to secure full convention and thus effect a complete organization to battle against our interruptions aud as yet untried foe.

 YeUUiye, 4Ark., Feb 22 1856
 Mr. EDIToR:-Some time last fall in a con- test with tie Hon. William K. Patterson, Sam's troops were thrown into great confuson and we are credbly informed a great number de- serted his ranks. But it was left to Col T. c. Hindman to consummate his entire overthrow. With no weapon, but the force of argument, and no panoply but the justice of his cause, he throwed himself both soul and mind into the contest, and ere he had set forth half the deiormitieS of Know Nothing prescription and intolerance, Sum Know Nothing expired, as you plainly from the countenauces of the most faithful, who retired from the sound of his voice in great confusion. Col. Hndman is a cogent speaker and no doubt simon pure JetfersonaL democrat. Devoted to the great principles which lie at the foundation of all free government, and having the good of the demo- cratic party at heart he enters upon the perior- nance of his duty with that ardor and zeal that should characterize every one that attempts to do battle for the great cause in which he is en- listed. He is a bold and fearless speaker, and at the same tme chaste and moderate, and if those who heard him were not convinced of the correctness of his position, 1t was because pre- judlcc had taken the place of their reason.- He showed off Know Nottingham in it's true colors here to-day, and if we are not mistaken he most concusivey demonstrated the fact, that it was not the thing for the people of Ar kansas The democracy of Marion are not afraid to risk their cause in his hands, either in or out of office, and if their actions are a true manifestation of their feelings, they are ready to do good work now, and will tell a tale in the coming August election, that will do honor to the day-hght party.

tDANGERoUs NEW CoUNTERFE1T-Ac counter feiES5p note of the Union bank of Louisiana is5H circulation. Examine all notes of that de. nomination with great care. The counterfeit is exceedingly hard to detect unless it can be compared with the genuine.
 This counterfeit is so well executed that the bank at New Orleans redeemed five of them. One was taken at Montgomery on the 23rd, and one was taken at Nashville last Tuesday The following describes this counterfeit
 UNION BANK OF LOUISIANA,
 Ne,s Orleans, Feb. 21, 1856.
 Counterfeit notes of this bank, of the de- nomination of fifties, issue of 1855, purporting to be signed by P. N. Wood, Cashier have this day been discovered.
 The most striking feature in them is in the right hand vignette. The genuine note repre- sents the son of farmer of IS, while in the counterfeit is that of a man, or one of mature age. The imitation of the signature of the auditor, 5. F. Marks, upon close examination, will be found to be engraved the other signi- lures are very we'll executed.
 GEO. A. FREBET, Cashier. A new counterfeit $50 on the bank of Ten nessee is also out; and is so well executed that the greatest experience is required to detect it.
