Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-08-25
What the Arkansas Papers Say.

The Arkansaw Traveller denies the truth of the charge made against its editor by cores pondent of this paper, "that he was candi- date for the printing of the Know Nothing order.n As we do not wish injustice to be done to any one through our columns, we give the Traveller the benefit of its denial. We ne- yer heard the charge preferred before, and are very sure our correspondent made the state ment upon erroneous information. As for our self, we have always entertained feelings of personal kindness towards the editor of the Traveller, and have upon repeated occasions given them expression. His course in regard to the swamp land law we disapprove of and have regretted. The law we believe to be decided improvement upon the old enaclments and, we believe the highest assurances, even from the eastern portion of the State, where it is supposed to be condemned most, that it is favorably received by the people.
 The Traveller says
 "That we were, for short time, connected with what was then the K. N. party, as were hundreds of others in this county and section of the State, as good and true DEMOCRATS as ever cast vote, we have never attempted to deny. Our connection with and withdrawal from that party were, more than two years ago, fully set forth in the 'Traveler,' when we gave our reasons for joining that party, and for with drawing from them. It is not necessary to re- capituate these reasons. But the assertion that we were candidate for the printing of that party before the convention, and that we pro- posed to make the "Traveler" the chief organ of that party is brseless talsehood. Whether intentionally fabricated by B. Gar or wheth- CT he made it from rumor, we don't know, nor do we care; we still pronounce it falsehooa of the blackest and most malignant dye. During our short connection with that party not one sentence did the Traveller ever utter in favor of the principles of that party, and we defy any one to place his finger on such sentence in the editorial columns of our paper. If our name went before the convention for printer, to the party, it was without our knowledge or consent; and the first time we ever heard 1t, was from the above sentence in the last True Democrat For the truth of this we appeal to any member of the convention which elected printer"
 The following item we clip from the Wash ington Telegraph of the 18th inst:
 FATAL DIFFICULTY.-A difficulty occurred at Paraclifta, Sevier county, on Monday last between Dr. c. c. Cooper and David Robin son, in which Cooper was killed and Robinson severely, if not mortally, wounded. Dr. Coo per lived but few minutes; having received three shots in different parts of his body Robinson was cut in the region of the lungs with knife. The wound 1t is thought will yet prove fatal.'
 The Telegraph has an article on the Cali fornia overland mail route. Commenting upon Lieut. Mowry's letter, it says:
 "This letter from one who has had every op- portuli.y of examining the country thorough ly, shows clearly and conclusively that the Postmaster General, in giving this route the preference for the' transportation of the over land mail to the Pacific, selected altogether the best and most practicable route. That it will be the route of the great Southern Pacific rail- road we think is settled points
 The Pine Bluff Enterprise has been pur- chased by Mir. Wilo Williams, jr and will in future be conducted by him editor and pub fisher. Mr. Williams is young lawyer of Pine Bluff, whom we have long known and esteemed for his many excellent traits. He is a democrat and will advocate democratic prin- ciples. We wish him success. With Mr. Wells the retiring publisheI we regret to part, as, during his ownership of the Enter prise, he always presented us with an excellent paper We are glad MT. Williams has secured his services as foreman in his office.
 We see by the Enterprise that the citizens of Pine Bluff are determined to have good educational facilities From the report of meeting called to make arrangements for the establishment of a male and female collegiate institute, we take the following:
 "Hon. D. w. Carroll made motion to ap- point a committee of five for the following purposes, to wit: to solicit subscriptions, to make and report plan of organization, to se- lect site for building, and to take into consid eration, and report of, every thing necessary to the establishment of said institutes, and that said committee be requested to report on Sa turday the 18th inst; which motion was Car red.
 Whereupon the chairman appointed the following gentlemen on said committee, to wit: David w. Carroll, J. w. Bocagc, Thos. $. James, F. r. Yell and Robert dutchison."
 TIE SEARCY EAGLE-We have before us
 
 new paper published at Searcy, White county. It is edited and published by Mcssrs. Norman & Boone, and, ill politics, will be democratic. From the specimen numbers before us, we judge the Eagle will be valuable acquisition to the profession in Arkansas. We gladly send it the True Democrat in exchange. D Noticing the meeting of the Agricultural Society of White county, the Eagle says:
 "The meeting was fully attended, not only in numbers, but with interest, and from it we can sdeduce prestige its future must be abundant ly successful; for larger number of more in- teligent farmers, is rarely seen engaged in a similar enterprise. Amongst the speeches de- lvered were those of Col. Ben. Johnson, and Rev. B. Martin. They were brief, but pointed and conclusive exhibitions of the increased facilities that would accrue to the tillers of the earth,' from an agricultural association"
 The Independent Balance pays the following handsome compliment to our late associate. It is quite in contrast with the attacks of those few rotation papers who were thrown into mysteries by Mir. Kimbell's article in opposition to the "rotary humbug."
 "J. U. hlmbell, Tor several months associate editor of the True Democrat, takes leave of its readers in the last No. of that paper. Mir. Kimbel has been, during his connection with the Democrat, emphaticaly an industrious edi- tor; he has, in our opinion, added much to the interest of the paper, and by his uniformly courteous demeanor towards his brethren of the press, commended himself favorably to their kind consideration. He retres from the tripod to devote his whole attention to the prac tice of his profession and the duties of his of fce Success attend him."
 For judge of the 9th judicial circuit, the Hampstead Democrat is for Orville ennings- the Arkansas Traveller and South Stamp for Len. B. Green.
