! CONCLUSIVE IF TRUE-The Atlanta (Ga) Amer
lean says ave have it from gentleman of I'M
doubted veracity recently returned from Kansas,
that Gov. Walker assured him that his inaugural ad
dress was ,critten out in Washington city, and sub
m'tted to the President and fuH Cabinet-that it
approved by them, and, by request of the Pres
dent, he (Walker) stopped on his way at Chicago and
submitted it to Stephen A. Douglas, who also ap-
proved it heartily
The same thing, observes Mississippi contemporary,
has been limited in more thai of the antiadminis-
tration Democratic presses in the South. We hope
some one of them, or the Atlanta paper, will give
the authority so as to remove all doubt. We feel sat
listed that the statement made above is strictly true
From the very first dawning of Walkers treason
to the South, we suspected that he was acting by
and with the advice and consent of the President and
his Cabinet. But, in order that we might not do in
justice to veteran politician, who had promised so
| fairly to the Southern people, we RETAINED from
assaing the administration, until its completely with
Walkers treachery was plainly manifest Still it is
not material whether the statement of the Atlanta
journal be verified or not for the proof is as clear as
the in the heavens that Walkers BETRAYAL of the
South has been sanctioned and endorsed by Mr.
Buchanan. His retention in Office by the President
and the semi.offical defence volunteered by the
Washington Union, demonstrate the fact so conclu
svey that it is beyond the reach of truthful contro
version.
That the scheme to transfer Kansas to the Free
sellers connected in Washington now hardly ad.

fact let the Southern people draw their own conclu

GEORGIA WHEAT.-Augusta, Ga, has become quite
wheat market. During the month of August past
the receipts by railroad 49t 1925 bushels, and by
wagons 10000. The shipments for the same time
were 4S6 2j9 bushels.
The Rome (Ga) Southerner states that, at the last
Great Worlds Fair in London, wheat raised in Floyd
county, Ga, took the second premium among the
vast number of samples of this cereal from all quar-
tiers of the globe, and that since that time the de-
mand for Southern wheat for consumption in the
North and expectation, has steadily and rapidly III
creased. The Southemer accounts for it thus:
The large proportion Of gluten contained in wheat
grown here, coupled with an early harvesting, which
enables the farmer to get his crop into market sooner
by some weeks than his Northern competitors, has
caused the very large demand Of late years for our
grain.

The Limerick Reporter gives the following glow

crops from the city Of Limerick, across the coun-
try of Tipperary, to Carrick on SUR, Waterford: !:
Throughout Tpperary Limerick aud Clare, sgri-
culturaists have lost no time, and every descrip-
ton of work beneftting those who have land In
hand and whose pursuit is agricultural, is ina.
most forward state. Nearly oil the spring crops
are in the ground, and the appearance which the
country presents to the eye of the tourist, as he
travels along the golden vale from the city Of the
Violated Treaty by the sweet Clonusll and renow-
ned Carrack, is that of an immense skilfully cult
voted and teeming garden, stored with fe-sus-
tanning food Of man, and which a bountiful Proyi-
dence WILL in good time, bring forth to repay the
husbandman for all his care, labor and anxiety.
The weather has been seasonable and genial
We have had rain and sunshine alternately, so
that vegetation has sprung up, and is springing
up, around US without, almost, our special Hon-
der. In the gardens which grid Limerick, the

LITTLE DORRIT.

We have received copy Of this work, by CHAs.
DICKENS. 1t is from the press of T. B. PETER
SON, SO6 Chesnut St., Philadelphia printed from
the advanced sheets, for the use of which he paid
the author two thousand dollars. Mr.. PETERSON
has ready eighteen different editions Of Little
Dorrit," to suit "all tastes and all pockets" We
have not yet had time to peruse this work, but
from the known reputation of "Boz" we would
suppose it at least worth fifty cents, the price Of
the complete work. Of its merits the Philadelphia
Dollar Newspaper remarks:
''We need not say that Little Dorrit is O work
which will interest the public-everybody know 8
the merits of Dickens writings, and this last is
equal, in graphic power and skilful delineations
of character, to any of his previous works The
plot is of absorbing interest, upon whichis strung
pearls and diamonds of descriptive writing. All
readers sympathize heartily with Little Dorrit, her
patient endurance and unfaitering love for all who
leaned upon her for aid, and they must heartily
rejoice, when, at the altar of st. Georges Church,
she writes her name as the happy bride Of Ar

TEMPERANCE DISCOURSE.

TEMPERANCE DISCOURSE.
Me.srs Ed,tors:-I send you for publication on
first page, n discourse, delivered in 1853, by the
Rev. J. M. WALKER, of Mecklenburg, N. c., to
his congregation, and shortly after published in
pamphlet They, who know the author best, re-
gard him alike distinguished for his intelligence
and for his piety. 1t would seem that the fear Of
his congregation, and of man has no snare for this
pastor. "Truly is he full Of power by the Spirit
of the Lord, and of Judgment and of might to de-
clare unto Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel
his SIM" Duty and prudence with him are con.
cordant, and not discordant.
No man, who reads this discourse, can fail to
know where the author plants himself on the sub.
ject of temperance. No tippler, after the perusal
of it. will claim this minister as his moral guide in
the great reform now in progress in the land. Can
the hope be reasonably INDUCED that such will
even read the entire address?
We however do believe that many of the reli-
gious world will read it. Many will not-Gallio-
like, they core for none of these things-unlike
the noble Bereans, they not willing to search,
whether those things were so. Let him, who reads,
reflect-trace language to its fair and proper con-
sequences-make an honest application Of the
truth to himself-and then, if he dare, let con-
science dictate his action.
If any man affirm, that he sincerely desires pro-
h6ition, we ask such, what means are you using
to accomplish your desire? "But wilt thou know,
o vain man, that faith without works is dead p
Show me thy faith without thy works, and will
show thee my faith by my works" Will the
mountain come to Mahomet?

FROM ARKANSAS,

Me,srs. Editors Having paid visit to this
State, perhaps by expressing few Of my views
in your columns, may save myself the trouble of
answering multiplicity of questions when re-
turn to York District. As my friends are aware,
l left home on the Goth of April. Travelling by
private conveyance through Georgia and Ala
bama became somewhat wearied with the slow
mode of travel in this age of improvement, and
went aboard the cars on the 9th Of May at Quka
After very pleasant ride of seven or eight hours
arrived in Memphis, being too late for the jubilee
I only remained short time amid the noise and
bustlc of this prodigy in improvement.
took passage on the steamer Euansuille for
Desarc, on White River, where again set foot on
terra frma. Thence travelled by private convey
ance through Prairie county. Thisportion Of the
State by no means filled my fancy perhaps, not
so much from want of natural beauty, but from
the Incidence of the population. Theland is no
doubt fertile, and would produce fine crops had it
the proper culture-but "thafs the rub" 1t seems
that the climate is congenial to laziness the peo-
pie generally live in small huts, work small farm,
and rest perfectly satisfied. .s
1 also travelled through Pulaski county. Here
there is fine land, and more industry than in the
portion above described. The people are making
higher aims, and will no doubt win nobler prize.
Little Rock, the Capitol, and metropolis OF the
State, is thriving place, and perhaps about the
size of Yorkville, which is not at all diminutive
in these western wids. The scenery around this
city is truly grand. 1t is situated on high blum
on the Arkansas river vast forests are to be seen
on every hand, where the muses. may at no distant
day chaunt their plaintive lays and the wood
nymphs weave their soft garlands. After short
but pleasant stay in the metropolis, l took the
stage for Pope county, distance Of eighty-fve
miles. Those of your readers who have enjoyed
for rather sufferedD stage.rides, are aware that
am not prepared to boast much on this mode of
conveyance. However, the hopes Of meeting kind

On the way, we passed through Conway county,
and saw some fine land and well-improyed farms.
Enterprising men have settled the portion Of the
county through which we passed, and are doing's
fine business at raising corn, cotton, &c. - 20
Pope county, where We now are, is 9 fine landed
country. The "barrens," as tbty are here called,
(up-land) sa very fertile soil, and is generally
wellcultvated by emigrants from the older States.
Such men as cultivated poor lends in Carolina and
have. removed hither, nre certainly bsttered ct
least one hundred per cent. The sell is well adsp-
ted to corn, cotton and small grain. The Spring
has been very backward wheat was killed by the
freeze in April, but has auckered out and looks !
well. The farmers say they will yet make ten or
twelve bushels per acre. This soil we think, cam
not be surpassed by any, for growing oats. - &
The idea of bad water in Arkansas is very prev
alent in the old States, and how this misrepresen.
tation has spread abroad we can't conceive, as ws
find excellent water ut almost every dwelling. The
branches and creeks mostly go dry in summer, but
the wells afford an abundant supply Of pure free.

1t ranges from SIS to So per acre for unimproyed,
and from $40 to SIS for improved. There isa
thick growth of cane on great portion of it
which will render it somewhat difficult to culti-s

trouble. Those who have farmed this land, say it
will yield rs bushels Of corn, and from 1860 to
20C0 lbs. Of cotton per acre., :. q ii So;
