Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-09-01
What the Arkansas Papers Say.

information concerning the overland mail com pany:
 "Capt. Hawley, of the Overland Mail Con- pany, with his party fully equipped, left here on the 12th for Fl Paso. They all left in fine health and spirits. May they so continue, and may nothing occur to mar for a moment, the pleasure and success of the party.'
 The Times has secured bran new poic," and, as his poem in the last issue is not copy lighted, we take the liberty of copying the first verse. It is addressed to Miss Sallie -.
 "I have roamed o'er many lands,
 Meath a summers burning sun
 have stood upon the desert plain,
 Delighted at the beauteous scenes around"
 Poetry is creative. None but poet could create beauteous scenes on desert plain.
 The Powhatan Advertiser has the following notice of new mail route: "We learn rum our fellow townsman, Green P. Mum, esq, that there will be new mail route put into operation soon, from this place to Pilot Hill, in Fulton county. The route passes by Cuba, thence by Alfred Oaks, esq, by Maj Kellets and by Dowels store. to Pilot Hi."
 The State Rights Democrat gives the follow ing account of the first bale of cotton in Phil lips:
 "Mr. Hoggatt Clopton sent in the first bale of cotton for the season to Helena on the 23d. MT. Charles King bought it at 16c.
 The first bale of new cotton received at Memphis, was from w. G. Ford's plantation, St, Francis county, Ark. The second new bale was received in Memphis last Sunday from the plantation of D. D. Berry, of this county. 1t chased as good mddling. Arkansas planters are hard to beat.
 The Appeal of the 26th, says: A correspond ent on Arkansas river writes us that Dr. J mo- A. Jordan had ready three bales of new cotton on the l7th inst, and shipped them from his plantation on the 18th to New Orleans. This, says our correspondent, is the earliest shipment have ever known from Arkansas river"
 The Helena Shield has the following item concerning the Baptists of Arkansas:
 "Ths highly respectable denomination of Christians, are very numerous in Arkansas, so much so, and combining so much intelligence and wealth, that they have determined to estab- fish a paper some place in the State-the exact locality not yet determined upon"
 The Des Arc Citizen has the following con- corning the seat of the representative from Prairie county:
 We noticed last week that J. H. Qusen- berry, esq, would contest the right of Hon. H. Reynolds to a seat in the Legislature from this county. On Tuesday last an attempt was made to take dispositions in the case at Brownsville | J. w. Martin, esq, appeared as attorney for Mir. Quisenberry and F. M. Williams, esq., for Judge Reynolds. The justices of the peace, constituting the court, were Messrs. Hendrix and Hallum. After some discussion between the attorneys in reference to the legality of the notice served upon Judge Reynolds the court decided that the notice was not legal one, as It failed to specify the particular office the com | plalnant wished to contest, ard that the court had no rignt to presume anything in the pre- misses. After tragedy it is well to have a tarce and the course of procedure in this par tlcuar case has fully carried out the idea"
 From the same paper we get the following item:
 In Arkansas, two agricultural exhibitions are announced. One at Searcy, White county, on the l4th of October; the other at Des Are. Prairie county. on the 20th, 21st and 22d Octo- ber."
 The Camden Herald notices the arrival of the first bale of cotton in that city and its sale to Messrs. E. Hill & Co.,, at 141a cents pound
 The following from the same paper, shows that the Camden people haveaanticipated those of Little Rock, by getting up theatrcals:
 Camden Varieties.
 Variety is the spice of life and so indeed we found it to be on last Thursday night hav- ing been honored with complimentary card of admission to the Camden Varieties which bye-the-bye is the name of hstronc associa- ton of young gentlemen in this city-we, in due course dropped in, and were, in the first place, particularly pleased with the brilliant array of female loveliness therein congregated; considering the erroneous impressions as to the solidity of the building prevalent there was very large audience, and the two pieces played, The Bloomer,' and Lend me five ShiIlings.' were, under the unfavorabe circumstances of a first opening, credtaby rendered by the young amateurs.
 Miss Julia Dean,' as the Bloomer, act ed her part admirably, the only fault we could find. if any, was, that she was leetle too feminine for female
 In the next play, Lend me five Shillngs.' we must confess our sorrows and regret in hay ing left our pocket book at home on that occa- sion, as the gentleman representing the charac- ter of Mir. Golightlv, acted his part so well. especially when he addressed the audience as a defnier resort, we involuntarily found our fingers feeling in our pockets for the sum he stood in need of
 The ban jO solo and breakdown were how ever, the crowning pieces of the evening We hope the young gentlemen will be sustained in their audable enterprise by our citizens"
 The Independent Balance has the following:
 "A man was found hung up to tree, near Grand Glaize, in Jackson county, some ten days ago, with card pnoned to his back, on which was written, Tennessee Horse Thief" Who took 1t upon themselves thus to outrage hu- manity and law, has not been learned. If the man deserved hanging he was entitled to the judgment of the law before he should suffer its penalty, and it is an indication of a very reck- less and lawless spirit for any one to attempt to take the criminal law into their own hands, in this manner"
 Thus it is with at least one half the outrages committed in this State The nferenceis is that the murdered man was pursued from Tennes- see and murdered by his pursuers. Whether guilty or not we have no means of knowing; but that he was stranger was evident, and was no doubt killed by persons from another State.-- Persons who commit crimes in other States flee westward and are often overtaken here when a fight and perhaps killing is the consequence, the parties in the affray being citizens of other States, while Arkansas bears the blame. The Balance has an account of the shooting of two men named Arey and Shirley, the latter of whom was killed at once and the former badly wounded.
 The Searcy Eagle has the following concern ing the religious revival in that elk: "The meeting which commenced in this place on Friday, 18th inst, was postponed on Wednesday night last, until tonight, (Satur- day) when services will be again resumed- There were as near as we can ascertain, 65 con-
