although, that is to say, entrance would be,

difficulties attendant upon the complete sutjuga-

ference, containing 10000 inhabitants, mainly
hostile to the assaiants, and large number. armed

The Danger of Comets

The Boston Christian Register has the fol- lowing consolatory paragraph, which we com- mend to those timorous expectants, who think the danger is not over yet:
 If the world was in danger from comets, it must have suffered before now, for Kepler de- clared "there were as many of them in the heavens as there are fishes in the ocean.'-- Eighty have been observed since the beginning of the present century. Their contact is less to be feared than any mornings mist, for they are more transparent than the most beautiful blue sky, and the vapor most imperceptible to the eye is thousand times more compact" We may therefore continue to repose our con- fdence in the Providence, without which not a sparrow faleth to the ground, nurturing our religion of love in preference to one of fear.- All science proclaims ever louder and clearer the maxim of Lebnitz, that the hand which was powerful enough 10 create the world is in- telligent enough to constitute it in durable manner"

Amoig the testimony adduced and published ate the two following letters from Dr. Burdeil to his cousin Dennis Hubbard written after his alledsed marriage to Mrs. Cunninsham:

The Fourth.

The late anniversary of our Independence vas appropriately celebrated in Little Rock by the patriotic order of the Sons of Temperance. We have only time to remark that the oration of J. W. McConaughey, esq, was highly creditable effort-evincing deep interest in the cause of temperance, and delivered in a condensed and forcible style. His remarks were philosophical, and instinct with patriotism and eloquence, justly appreciating the great cause of mans freedom everywhere, and full of profound veneration for the illustrious &C., tors in the momentous struggle for our own in- dependence. Mr. M. is an original thinker a beautiful and eloquent speaker; and we re- gard him valuable acquisition to the literary and professional society of Little Rock The Declaration of Independence was read on the occasion by MT. Howell.

Senator DOuglass.

Among the many admirers who called on this distinguished Senator while on visit to St. Louis, was the editor of the St. Louis, Leader, who says:
 :" We knew him at glance before he was pointed out to us Short, dark, thick k-set, with strongly marked features, a massive brow, care- locks, an expression of power mingled with calm suavlty, manners of practced and adrot man of the world, ready memory of persons, names, and events-unaterable cour- tesy. Such is the exterior of the "Little Giant" Some men are born to greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. Doug las Is one of the former class He is a man who would rise in any free State, and who would perhaps be dangerous in a monarchy He may live to be President. We think he will. But, in any event, his name is identified with the greatest crisis m the American govern- ment since the adoption of the constitution. He led the combat-shorty, terribly severe, but decsive-which overturned the false pre- cedepts of more than thirty years and restored our national legislation to the paths of the con- stitutlon, where the equality of the States and the sovereignty of the people meet in harmony

Poor Hoffman!

One of the brightest intelects that ever illustrated the pages of our country's litera- ture, Charles Fenno Hoffman, of New York, inmate of an insane hospital. The editor of the Pittsburg Journal, in a recent letter from Harrisburg, Pa, where he visited the asylum for the insane, says:
 "His disease is of peculiar form, and Dr. Corwen tells me, presents the only instance he ever met with of hallucinaton of Jfue senses touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. The most distressing indications of his disease are exhibited in his fancies that somebody is touch- ing, or pressing, or pinching him, or that he sees persons and objects, which trouble and disturb him.

Death the best Sculptor

A lady, many years ago--so an exchange tells us--dled in Eaton, Ohio. Unlike the larger number of the innumerable dead. who are sepulchered and soon forgotten, she was remembered by her descendants who. a short time since, determined upon the removal of her remains from the old and desolate place of sepulture to spot where her bones would be nearer to her living relatives, and more con- venent for the respect which faithful aifec. ton had prompted. Accordingly, arrangements were made for exhumation; the coffin was reached, showing signs of decay and the rava- ges of the earth-worm. It was attempted to
 lift 1t, but in vain. At last the coffin was bro- ken open, and, to the surprise of the specta- tors, the corpse was converted into solid lime- stone. The body was rotund as in life; every linament of the countenance was preseryed- every vein was outlined-Death had approved himself in this instance, the transcendapt sculptor.
 The petrifed corpse when finally taken from the grave, was found to whigh six hun dred pounds. As statue it would rival the finest creation of Powers.

The Post Master at Napoleon. Arkansas

It appears by the following from the Pine Bluff Enterprise, that Dr.. Jos. Lemly, P. NJ. at Napoleon, is winning "golden opinions" as faithful and efficient officer:
 In this connection, it gives us great pleasure to add our mite of praise to Dr. Lemly, for the prompt and energetic manner with which he has conducted the postal affairs of the State since he has been the incumbent of the dis trbuting office at Napoleon. We speak with the knowledge, when we say, that the mail facilities of the State have never been at any previous time, so we'll conducted as under his regime. The mail matter for this place is al- ways delivered punctually, and not permitted, as in time past, to lay over for days al the office at Napoleon. There is no branch of the executive department in which the whole peo- pie arc more deeply interested, than the post office department, and when we get an efficient functionary placed in control of so important a trust, it is the part of wisdom to retain him there. Such an officer has Dr. Lemly been, and the people of the State recognise and en- dOrse him as Such

0EF The Hampstead Democrat, published at Washington, Ark asks us to exchange in such polite manner we cannot refuse. Upon the wrapper containing the said paper was written the following: K, G-d d--n you" We cannot withstand such forcible language Natclsez Free Tyader.
 Served lem right, friend Pegues. When these aristocratic city papers refuse to exchange with deserving cotemporary because his paper is small and published, as they think, in the backwoods, they merit the application of for cible language"-provided ones conscience will allow him to use it. In this instance you have rebuked aristocracy as it deserved, and long will your name be remembered in the annals of newspaperdom. Yes, long, long after this generation shall have passed away, not only will "devils" and prentices lisp your name in praise, but the hardy yeomanry of the country, at maths and vesrers, will be found leaning over your-.fence, perchance with basket of corn, crying Pegues!

The Kansas Election.

She St. Louis Leader of the 22d, has the following:
 "We have returns from Leavenworth City of the election for delegates to the constitutions al convention. In that city, the regular demo- cratic, pro-Slavery candidates were all elected by an average majority of one hundred and fifty"
 A Leavenworth correspondent of the same paper says:
 Enclosed, send you list of the votes polled in Leavenworth. Two of the candi- dates on the regular ticket, are members of the editorial fraternity, L. J. Eastin, of the Herald, and J. D. Henderson, of the Journal; papers published here. The last named gentleman is native of Pennsylvania, and has been a tower of strength to the pro slavery cause in Kansas. He has always been the uucompro- missing oppouent of the aboltionists, and the fearless defender of the rights of the south in the territory"
 The out-and-out pro-slavery ticket was op- posed by a so called Conservative mongrel combination.

We have heard no cause assigned for the committal of the deed. He was all old man, and perhaps some misfortune befel him which he erroneous ly supposed to be justification for the rash step he took.

or A Washington letter-writer gives de- scrption of the manner in which Gen. Cass takes care of his physical health. He says the General carries out his hygienic habits with the rigor of the Medes and Persans So careful is he of his health that he will not dine out, not even with the President, and cannot, under any ordinary circumstances, be induced to keep out of bed after 10 o'clock, P M. When at Paris, at balls, at his own house, he would quietly slip of to bed at the above hour leaving his wife and three daughters to entertain the company present. This regime accounts for his uuwonted vigor at the advanced age of 75 wears.

Public Exccitement

:. Our community has justly been highly in- dignant and excited in consequences of the murder in open day, in front of one of our principal hotels, of we'll known citizen by the hands of John Able, man notorious as a gambler, without provocation or cause, as is al- ledged by the persons present. MT. J. Everson, the victim of this diabolcal outrage, was engaged in conversation with Able about business, when the latter drew a repeater and shot him through the heart, producing in. stant death Such an act, added to the re- collection of other crimes of recent occurrence, aroused the whole community 10 the impor- tance of taking some step to prevent the re- currence of these fragrant crimes
 A meeting was accordingly held in the court room, in Exchange Buildings, on Wednesday night, which was attended by the largest crowd that probably ever assembled in our city, com posed of citizens alone. A jury of thirty six persons from each ward, and composed of substantial citzens-was selected to hear evidence, and recommend action at the meet Ing. Alter examining witnesses and delibera- ting upon the case, the committee returned and reported that there could be no doubt of the guilt of Able of murder in the first degree, and that the case was so clear that a court and jury would undoubtedly so find. A majority of them, therefore, recommended that the meeting take no action further than to submit the cause to the proper tribunal of the laws.
 The meeting also passed the two following resolutions, by unanimous vote:
 Resolvea, That committee of three be ap- pointed to notify Joe Able to leave the county of Shelby before twelve o'clock tomorrow, never to return.
 Resolyed, That all gamblers be ordered to leave this city in ten days from this time, and if they fail to do so, they will be compelled to depart, peaceably if possible, forcbly if neces- sary: and that gaming houses be no longer tol- erated in this city.
 Messrs. J. o. Greenlaw, F. H. Clark and Bedford Forrest were appointed committee to notify Joe Able of the first resolutions; du- ty which, we learn, they have discharged, by leaving a note, to that effect, at his house. Another meeting will be held, at Exchange Buildings at 8 o'clock this evening.-Memphis Appeal June 26.
