CHARLES SIMMER

Of all The dirty hypOOrtcal knaVes and PATRONS that
dsgraOed Congress none were equal to this
man. We find the following in New England abolition
paper:
Mr. SUMNER ExPECTs TO BE SHOF-At the DisuniOn Con-

gnson stated that he had talk with the Hon. Charles
sumner this city last week and when be asked him if

words against slavery, Mr. Sumner replied, "Reiterate,
reerate? IT, when get back to Washington, make the
speech expect to make will be like iOulth proof brandy
to mOlasses and water" When asked what result he
peced from it he replied, Il expect to be shot, there
nOlhng else lett for them to do"
Since this bold announcement from this skuking hero,
Mr. BROoks has died, wheFeupOn we fnd the following
paragraph the Washington correspondence of the Dew

HON. A. NICHOLSON

The New York Nss0s, sterling democratic pa.
per, in Loioing the change that is about to take
place in the Washington Union, pays the follow
ing liberal and just compliment to it's retiring edi-
tor:
Major Nicholson retres from the control OF the
Union, and the Hon. ] Ohm Appleton, OF Maine, will
take bis place editor ami proprietor OF that pa
per. Major Nicholson Tetires from one branch OF
public service but We hope that the democracy of
Tennessee will not forget his able and patriotic eff
forts in defense Of the Union. He has merited
well Of the party. During the long and bitter
struggle which We wsged with the Union. we al.
ways admired IFS bold and gallant conduct, aud its
eminent ability when combating the enemies OF
democratic principles. We were emulOus of It's
devoted attachment to the creed of party sgsi0st
the iUfux Of the heresies Of Secuonalsm ana Sec
tsrianIsn, even when we thought it most unjust
to ourselves
But happily higher power has commanded
peace. The suspicious day Of June, which record
ed the judgment OF he General Council OF the
parry, biotled cut every hostile feeling, and since
then we have regarded the Ugi0B with no other
th Al fraternsl feelings. Much Of the success OF
the democracy Is due to the eloquent and untiriug
advocacy of the UnJon, and Msior Nicholson will
retire from It's editorial chair commended by the
approval and the kindest wishes OF every demo
cgst IN the land.-He viii find that the gratitude
of the party will never be ioTgetful of those who
fought in the memorable campaign Of 1856, and
did such frank and generous service as he.
or Among the numerous persons spoken Of by
the democracy of Mississippi as their candidate
for Governor is our old friend BARKsDALE the able
editor Of the Jackson A75sissiPpian. Mr.. BAREs-
DALE is 9 native of Tennessee. He has rendered
gallant service to the country in his present posi-
ton, and would doubtless give equal satisfaction
as Governor Of that State.

ligence
Gov. Medary arrived in this city from the Sioux
Agency on Sunday evening. He lett the Agency on

Previous to Gov. Medary's departure, information
had been received from the band Of Indians under
Little Grow, who had been despatched in search of
Ink-pa-duta. They had reached Holein-the- Noun.
tain, where they were met by contradictory rumors
in reference to the whereabouts of the murderers.
One account stated that they were at Skunk Lake,
and another that they had joined party of Yanktons
and were encamped in the vicinity of James river.
| The opinion very generally prevailed about the
Agency that Little Grow would be successful in cap
turing Ink-padu-tas band. His force consists of l25
warriors, well armed and equipped with ammunition
and provisions. Joe Campbell, the interpreter at the
Agency, accompanies the party.
| Gov. Medary, while absent, visited many Of the
frontier settlements, quietiug the alarm of the set
tiers, and assisting in the formation of volunteer
panies He will Immediately despatch the muskets
and rifles in the city to the frontier to be used
in of emergency by the organized companies.
There are now at Fort Ridgely four companies o!
United States infantry. Two companies are at Fort
Smelling, and will speedily be joined by two add
tiOnal companies, in all about 400 men, rank and file

Agency on Saturday. His command was to have ar
rived yesterday at the Fort. They will immedatel,

It has been denied that there is "Slidel clique

wishes to retain it j. evident by his showing aach-

of what he now considers the dominant power.
But the day Of that controlling dynasty is. we
trust, drawing to close, and the next Legislature
will contain sufficient number of Independent Demo

fortunate thing for the Colonel. Not known to the

ARKANSAS INTELLIGENCE-The Batesville Balance
of the 7th inst says:
During the past week the weather has been very
pleasant. We have had several fine showers, and
there yet indications that it will continue season
able. Full confidence is now established that the
growing crop of will be amply sufficient for the
wants Of the country. We shall probably get corn
for twenty to thirty cents per bushe next season.
We are afraid that the wet weather will inure the
wheat which is yet in the field Many of our farmers
have been relying the thrashers to % come around y
and in consequence, have made effort to get out
their wheat
The Helena Shield of Saturday last says:
We have received an open boil of cotton, gathered
from the plantation of Col James Rodgers of Wal
nut Bend. 1t was pulled On the 18th. This is the
first boil we have seen and considering the back
wardness of the season. it is quite early for cotton
open
A recent number of the Des Arc Citizen says:
After five weeks drouth, we are blessed with re-
invgorating showers, and our planting friends have
ceased wearing long faces The wheat, rye and oat
crops throughout this section of country presented
the farmer with full reward of his labors-but until
few days past fears entertained that the corn
crop would be cut short But the rains have come,
and the prospect is that we will have at least
an average crop of corn. Cotton looks finely, and
we have in our Office large specimens Of bolls both
| from Prairie and White county.
