SALT on WHEAT-Throdorc Perry of

Having tried the experiment of sowing
salt on wheat, deem it my duty to give the
result to your readers. and | hope that it
may be tested hv others. and their expert
cnce given through your columns A field
of ten acres was divided into equal parts and
sown with .pr,ng wheat. After the wheat
was well narrowed in, one hu>hel aud half
of salt pr acre. was sown broadcast on one
half OF each parcel of ground. Soon after
the wheat was up. its colorS distinctly Indl
Gated where the salt was sown. and the rrSul,
was, that the VIII, at was rip" TOR the sickle

CRAZE VINES IN GARDENs-Grape
vines delight IN being we'll man"red, and will
not give the best satisfaction without a dry
bottom and abundance of rich soil. In the
first of the season, those who have trained
grape vines IN their gardens, should examine
them thoroughly, to destroy caterpillar
worms while they are small. One may now
be found IN almost every bud, rolled up in a
pellet of fine wool. All the labor thus spent
will pay tor itself. During the warm. dry
weather, the surface OF the ground around
the roots of vines should be covered with lit
ter to protect the tender rootlets that spread
out so near the surface.

Public Speaking.
Candidate for Attorney Gcnenal,

It will be seen that, by request, we have this morning announced the name, of THOMAS JOHNSON for Prosecuting Attorney for this cir cult. Also, it will be seen, that Mir. Tom. E. Turner, who has heretofore been a candidate, declines MT. Turner has many friends in the circuit who will regret the necessity he feels of giving up the canvass for this important office
 As for Judge Johnson, we believe, every citizen of the State Is familiar with his hsto- ry. He filled the honorable position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from lS44 to 1852. He wonld have been reelected easily had he desired collection, but he declined He was all able and an upright Judge--attend. ing at all times strictly 10 bis duties and ren. derng always able decisions
 Judge Johnson is democrat upon principle. He has ever been one He $ a man in every respect well qualified for the office he seeks. If he is elected, the office will be faithfully and ably attended to. He IS just such an At torney General as is needed We trust he will meet with warm support from the people

The Difficulty at Helena,

We have published statement we found in the Memphis Appeal, also one made in the Helena Democrat, in relation to the attempt of the Rices' against the life of Col T. c. Hind man. We learn by letter from Helena that the matter has undergone an investigation by the grand jury of Phillips county and that Col Hindman and his friend MT. Cebourne were honorably acquitted, while "true bill' was found against w. D. Rice
 This we presume, settles the question, as to who was at fault. Col Hindman stands justified before the community.
 Col. Hindman and his friend have left, we understand, for Ripley, Mississippi, where they will remain until their recovery. They are both pretty badly shot. Col. Hindman, we regret, will be unable to redeem the promise he gave to canvass the northern district It k hardly possible that he will sufficiently recover in time to make much of canvass. He write. to Us that he regrets this exceedingly, as he desired to make the canvass, but that his friend. will have to take the will for the deed.

A Letter from Conway County.

The following extract we make from the letter of gentlemen in Conway county:
 The Know Nothings appointed day to hold convention to nominate candidates and had it published in the Gazette. But such were theirfears that they labored hard to induce some democrat to become an independent can- didate against our nominee For the first time they failed. There were no democrats bere who were willing to forsake principle and fol- low men.
 When their day of making nominations ar. rived, the few saints of old Conway met at Springfield, and published to the world that they were opposed to making nominations, and so far forgot themselves that they declared they would support no man for office if the nominee of convention. Poor fellows, they are in bad way with none to condole their die lemma."

country from the earliest times is to the native one in twelve but that naturslized ciIizens d. not vote their strength so nearly as natvo. consequently, the difference between the t,., votes must be greater It is stated that in 1oso (p. 123) in Boston that although the forainn porn population to the native was one half vo, they only boiled one vote in eleven. If x. same disparity prevails throughout the Un;toa States, the vote of naturalized citizens wo,1, fall short of seventy thousand. It is in cit;,. we must remember that these persons are moot ly urged to vote. Know Nothings are in .l. habit of appealing to the reason of persons--to confirm their statement that nearly the whole immi igration must De males, and mostly mor In 1853 MT.

The. BigierS.

An interesting incident occurred at the Mer- chants Hotel, Philadelphia, on Monday. Ex- Gov. Bigler, of California, who went to that State in 1849, and has since been Speaker of its Assembly and twice its Chief Executive of- ficer, met for the first time in ten years his younger brother, Wm. Biger, who, since then, has been the Governor of the Keystone State and is now a Senator of the United States. California Bigler reached the shores of the Pacific poor and friendless, and for long time lived in a hut. Pennsylvania Bigler was for merly poor printers boy, and the two, dur ing their separation, in consequence of their energy and talents, have been elevated to the highest offices in the gift of the people of two of the greatest States of the Union. What noble commentary on our free institutions, and what an lnducement does this incident afford to the poor and friendless but deserving youth of our land. California Biger is now general ly spoken of for U. s. Senator from that State, and if chosen the two brothers will next meet as members of the highest deiberative body in the world.

cario and Fulton Railroad.

l By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that an order has been passed by the executive committee, in pursuance of re. solution adopted at the meeting of the stock holders, renewing the first and second calls in respect to the stockholders who did not pay those calls when first made. These calls the company hope will be promptly met and paid by the stockholders The exigencies of the company demand means. The directory have been very indulgent to the stock holders, in con- sequence of the short crops and hard times of the last few years, and they have delayed the collection of the instalments to the very last day. They are now compelled to have means to pay off the indebtedness of the company prior to the meeting of the legislature next fall, when the company desire to make such a showing as to induce that body to assist it with liberal grant of the lands appropriated by Congress for the construction of the road. We have no doubt of the final success of the Cairo and Fulton ralroad-it is a great national cnterprise-it is one in which millions o capital interested, and as soon as favorable
 
 action is had by the legislature in regard to the grant, it will be taken hold of by the wealth of the country and pushed through with the same success and rapidity that the Illinois Central railroad, the greatest railroad in the world, and of which the Cairo and Fulton rail road is but an extension, was completed. Eve " thing is fair and promising for the Cairo and Fulton railroad; it's prospects are truly bright. It has a magnificent grant of lands, much more valuable than that by which the Illinois Gen. tral railroad was enabled to be built, money is becoming plenty and is seeking profitable in- vestlnents The Cairo and Fulton railroad will be, when the grant of lands is turned over to it by the legislature, one of the safest and best investments that can be anywhere found
 With the Cairo and Fulton railroad complet. ed, Arkansas will at once, assume a position in the confederacy of states, in power anc wealth, second to none. Let the stockholder be of good cheer and lend helping hand After long night of darkness the first rays O glorious morning begin to break in upon tn, enterprise.

Mr. Fillmore Allows UmmaturaIized For eigners to Vote and Hold Office,

After all that has been said about the demo- cratic party being the foreign party"--after all that has been said about Americans ruling America" the Know Nothings come forward with candidate for the Presidency who ap- proved bill permitting u,natu,alizea foreiqneys, not only to vote, but to hold office.
 The following section we take from the Statutes at Large" of the United States. It is the qualifications of voters and office holders as prescribed in the Washington Territorial bill which was approved and signed by Mir. Fillmore on the 2d of March, 1853.
 "The rig" cf suffrage and of holainq office shall be exercised only by citizens of the " United States above the age of twenty-one wears, and those above that age aoho asaU have decta'ed on oath their intention to become such "and shall have taken on oath to support the con- stituti'm cf the United States and Me provisions "of this act"
 We call attention of the. Know Nothings to this law, approved by MT. Fillmore How can Know Nothings support MT. Fillmore who thus allows, not only naturalized foreigners. but even foreigners, aoao have only declared deir intention to become citizens, to vote and to hold office?
 Much complaint is made against the Kansas Nebraska bill because this same provision is contained in it. The Know Nothings are re- sponsible forit MT. Fillmore first incorporated it in the Washington territorial bill, and it was afterwards copied into the Kansas N ebraska bill. Know Nothings make great deal of complaint against MT. Pierce for approving this provision in the Kansas territorial bill, but tbev are silent about MT. Fillmore who approved the same provision in the Washington territo- rial bill.
 We repeat the question, how can Know Nothings vote for Mr. Fillmore who approved law allowing unnaturaized foreigners to vote and to hold office?

Letter From Hot Spring Co.
Rockport, Ark., June 9th, l850' EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT

EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 The citizens of this place had the pleasure last night of listening to an ez. cel!ent speech delivered in the court-hou;'' by Ben Abbott, esq, editor of the Camit- South Stamp his sentiments were so enDo0' ling;hi arguments so conclusive, and his yindic- ton of the democratic party was so comple' that I deem it due to him, and edifyng to yoa' numerous readers, to give short sketch ot his appropriate remarks.
 Subsequent to some we'll timed and suitable introductory statements, the speaker reviewed the political movements which are now gong on throughout the State, stating that two po.+' cal parties, which occupy totally antagonsa' grounds, had selected their standard beareS for the approaching contest, and are now so' citing the hard listed yeomanry of the counHy to bestow upon them official Eonors. lie tn'- asked which of these paties should be suS'a'l' ed? To which he replied, that party wnV' principles would secure for the people '' greatest degree of happiness, prosperity, nal'- al and individual welfare He then de scanlel upon the present fcurishing condition oi oD' happy country and drew so beautiful, so quent, and magnificent picture of Amef'' that his audience felt proud of their counu' And very appropriately he attributed thIs n'f py state affairs to the ruling and supremacy Fl the democratic party, the principles of wn'' have become the fixed policy of the coun"! The speaker then clearly demonstrated 'u' naodus operandi by which the party to wnl'D he belongs achieved for our country all 'D'l we are and ever will be. No one, however " durate, could have listened to his masterIy "l view of democratic principles without bec0u' ing great admirers of the democratic paf' that without these principles this governn'D could not exist; he proved that Know Noth~S' nor any other party would or could carry tne'' principles so successfully into effect; hence 'D' preservation and continued success ol V"'l time honored party.

" SECRECY OF THE AMERICAN PARTY HoRRIBl E OATHs. ETc.-Notwithstanding the American party have abolished all secrecyhave opened the doors of l their council tooms--have done away with oaths passw words etc., and, in short. occupy the same po siton before the public, that the other political par ties of the day do,we say, notwh tandng all these things, and their being fully known to all the sag nicht organs week after week their columns are fill ed with all sorts of low slang against the American party, for being dark lantern secret oath binding society. And why is this."
 This is from the Gazette, the Know Nothing organ. Now, why are outsiders to be thus blamed? How do they know that all secrecy, oaths, pass words, etc., have been done away with? Who can be believed when such as- sertions are made? Can we believe the Know Nothlngs who alone know whether these tbipgs are abolished? How can an outsider rely upon the word Of Know Nothing? Have not the members of the Know Nothing order been known to deny, with the most solemn imprcca. tions, the very existence of the order itself?- Have they not been known to deny most sol. emny their connection with and membershn in it-who are we to believe? The sacred law of God has been, by the Know Nothing order, so often violated and tramped under foot, that ekepticism has taken possession of the public mind. Confidence in the truthfulness of mankind is at discount.

State Senator for Phillips and Monroe.

We are truly rejoiced to see that the demo- crats of Phillips and Monroe counties have mo- minated Col F. P. REDMOND, and are determin. ed to send him back to the capitol next winter, as their representative in the State Senate.
 Col. Redmond has served the county of Monroe twice in the lower branch of the Gen. eral Assembly and more efficient Represen- tatlve has never been sent up by any county to the capital. This nomination by the demo- crats Of Phillips and Monroe is deserved com. piiment to him. We know he will be tri. umphantly elected against any man the Know NothIngs may start. Success to Col. Redmond.
