Hon. A. L. Yancey, of Jackson County :

We find the following letter from this gen. tleman in the latest number of the Jackson port Union. Mir. Yancey is faithful and ef- ticient legislator and those with whom he was associated in our legislature last winter will doubtless be pleased to hear from him:
 JACKSON Co.,, Ark, 10 miles South ,
 of Augusta, June IS, 1857
 MR. EDIToR--Wll you do me the very great favor, through the medium of your valua ble and interesting sheet, to state to my many friends and constituents of Jackson county, that II has been my great misfortune, ever since my return from Little Rock, to be confined at home by the hand of aflliction. No one knows, but my immediate neg hbors, how great have been my sutferings. ldesre this public notice, since l am informed that the question is often asked in remote parts of my county, "what has become of our Representatives," l am not surprised at this, when consider the great length of our county being over 100 miles long, and it's vast population. 1 have desired to have mixed, and spent many soc.aI hour with the people of Jackson county, but Providence ha, decreed it otherwise This much I can say of truth, my heart has been wiCL you, and when called to discharge my duty as your Represen- tative last winter at the capitol, the record will show to you, that while thus engaged for two months, 1 never lost scarcely a moment from my post, and the interest of my constituents and State. My acts and votes, which have been recorded and subject to your inspection, will in measure test my judgment and dscre- tion--hy them l am willing to stand or fall.
 Thus trodden down and afflicted, still, Mir. Editor, hope to comminge and enjoy much of the society of the people in this delightful country of ours l may never be an office seek CT again. for there is nothing love so much as my quiet happy home. But let me assure you that my heart IS full of the interest and pros- perity of my adopted State and future home, and there is no sacrifice 1 would not make to promote her interests We have the formation aud material for noble and wealthy Statc- Our central position and well-devsed system of railroads combine to make her great. Our coun- ty is garden spot" All we have to do is to cultivate and ornament; give Us the school mas ter and the press, and the work will rapidly go on to perfection.
 In conclusion Mr. Editor, permit me to add my hearty, but humble approval of your course as editor of the Jacksonport Union. 1 feel proud and interested in it's every issue, and really believe now is the suspicious time for the citizens of Jackson county to encourage and firmly support, so useful d paper l wish you great success, and believe me your friend

SOUTHERN WoMEN.-A letter in the Boston Chronotype contains the following just tribute to our fair citizens. As we but rarely see the truth so promptly expressed relative to any, tLing belonging to the south--in that region particularly-we copy it in compliment to all concerned:
 The first thing that struck me in regard to the women of the south was their beauty of torm--their symmetrical and harmonious fig ures. In this and in the ease and grace of their motions they excel northern women. Many of them dress with exquisite taste, often very richly, but seldom gaudily, or with any display oi tinsel. The proverbial affablity and urba- nlty of the southern character finds the fullest development in the women. The southern lady is naturally and necessarily easy unem- oairassed and polite. You may go into the country where you please; you may go as far as you please from town, village and post of. nee; you may call at the poorest house you can md, and whether you accost maid or matron. you will be answered with the same polite ness, and treated with the same spontaneous couftesy

But il Is a solemn thing is matrimouy--a very solemn thing--where the minister comes into the chan. cery with his surplus on, and goes through the ceremony of making them man and wife.

Col. Lockridge.

The New York Times thus sketches the por- trait of one of the most prominent members of Gen. Walkers staff:
 Col. Lockridge, who commanded upon the San Juan river. Hestands six feet three inches in stockings, is slightly round shouldered he wears a black beard and moustache, and has nothing fierce or warhke iu his features. He Is a native of Louisville, Ky, and is only 26 years of age. He spent some six years in Cos ta Rlca previous to the advent of General Wall ker, and still considers himself a citizen of that country. The cause, in his opinion, was never more hopeful, and there was never so abundant means at their disposal for carrying on the war; although the discipline of the camp prevails about the ead-qudrters respecting the pa1ttcu- lar movements intended. Col L. Is quite averse to being publicly mentioned in connec- ton with the war, but this difidence evidently Is not put on from any want of confidence ill his future success, as he was among the first to embark with Walker, and says he means to de- vote himself still to the '' freedom of Nicara- gua." His manner Is mild and atfable, but he expresses himself with much force, and seems we'll informed upon the affairs of Nicaragua He left on Friday afternoon for the south As General Henniugsen shook hands and parted with him. he remarked: Fl shall not see you agaln until we meet at Philippi." Lockridge said: " les, we will meet again at Philippi"
