At called meeting of Aurora Grove No. 1 of the United Anchent Order of Druids held at their hall on the 10th day of August, 1858, the undersigned were appointed committee to draft suitable preamble and resolutions, ex- pressiye of the deep mpathy of the members ot this Grove, caused by the decease of WIL- LIAM GEORGE, P. A., who departed this life on the above named date, in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas.
 WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst our well beloved bro- ther, WILLIAM GEORGE, P. A.; therefore,
 ResotUet, That this Grove has sustained great loss in the decease of brother William George, but we hope our loss is his gain.
 Resolced, That we deeply..sympathse with the brothers and the family of our deceased brother, and especially with the nephew and niece, as they lost fatherly protector, ever since their infancy.
 ResotOed, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the relatives of the deceased by the secretary, with assurances of our sincere con- dolence, and that the same likewise be spread upon the record of this Grove.
 Reso1Ued, That the members of this Grove will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days
 Resolved, That the secretary be ordered to make out transcript of these proceedings and hand them over tot the editors of the Gazette and Democrat, True Democrat and New York Staats Zeitung, for publication.

While looking over late London paper, the Examiner, we were amused at a remark of the editor, who, in speaking contemptuously of the military force of the Unit ed States. referred to "the army in Utah, which has been raised with so much trouble" The editor was not, proba- bE aware that some fourteen or fifteen regi- ments were proffered to the President, and the difficulty was not to raise the number of men, but to select from among those offered
 There are hundreds of men now, inalIy attached to the army, who have equipped them selves, pay their own expenses, and undergo the perils and privations of soldiers life, for the hope of battle. In fact, these are the men who write the letters so accusatory of the Mormons, and who are ''doing their level best'' to getu fight. Hence their statements as to Mormon atrocities are to be taken cum grano saas"
 At the call of the President, in two or three months, we could have fifty regiments en roode( for the seat of war. Arkansas would furnish three or four, and all the western States pro- portional number. The war fever burns fierce ly and the difficulty in this country is to keep it suppressed within bounds.
 At the last account from Utah, all was peacea- ble, but the Mormons were keeping watch and ward over their harems.

 WHEREAS, It has pleased the Almighty Ruler of the Universe to call from our midst our worthy and esteemed brother HENRY RoBER- SON, whom death, though unexpected found prepared to meet our Grand Master above; and Oh, may the lesson taugh us by the Divine Archi. tect, cause us so to square our actions that when we are called from labor to refreshment by the gavi in the hands of our Grand Master above. we may be prepared to do so with pleasure; knowing our work has been done according to the design drawn for us on the trestle board of eternal truth. Pregnant with mournfulness to us, and knowing his unhinching integrity as a Mason, his loss is especially aflicting; there- fore be it
 ResolUed, That this Lodge has lost in our brother bright ornament, and society an ines tmable member
 Resolyed, That this hall be clothed in the ha- oiilments of mourning for three months, and the members wear the usual badge thirty days.
 hesofued, That we deeply sympathise with his bereaved family and friends, yet remember that our loss is his eternal gain.
 Aesoeoea, That we most Ieelngly sympathise with her who is called upon to mourn the loss of so kind, so afEectionate husband, and would point her, in this her hour of distress, to him who has promised to be the widows husband and the orphans father
 Resolued, That page of our record be occu- pied by these testimonials of respect to the vir- tues and memory of our departed brother
 Resolpea, That copy of these proceedings be sigued by the W. NJ. and Secretary, and seut to the widow of our deceased brother, and also that copy be sent to the editor of the True Democrat with a request to publish the same.

CAMDEN, ARK. Aug. Eth. 1858

Mr. EDITOR-It is quite annoying now when late election, that your paper of Wednesday last has not yet reached this city. There is some grevious neglect in some quarter touching both of the daily lines coming here from the eastward, that calls for the prompt attention of our worthy mail agent. By the line from Lit tie Rock the newspapers from your city have ever since the first of July reached this town one day later than they uniformly did under the old tri-weekly arrangement; although under the present schedule the time between the two points, has been shortened nearly one -ha1
 Whether the difficulty is in your city, or in the want of proper connection at Roekport, we do not know. The fact is however, that the True Democrat has never reached here earlier than Ffiday at noon, and the Gazette x De- mocrat earlier than Iuesaay at noon, since first of July; while regularly your paper now pub. Gshed on Wednesday (and leaving Little Rock on Tuesday highD ought to reach here Thrus- day at noon; and the Gazette & Democrat pub- lished Saturday (aud leaving Little Rock Fri day nighO ought to reach here Sunday at noon.
 The other daily line. from Gaines Landing on the Mississippi river, has scarcely averaged tloo hrouyh naatls each soeek, during the same time. Whether the contractors on the route are to blame or the mail boats on the Missis- sippi river, we are altogether unadvised. But if We are to reap any advantage from these two daily lines some correction must be applied

But if it will quiet Coi.

 Y engage in any all of them. I will further state that So far from having expressed my abhorrence to the code of honor' haveinvariably placed myself "ltmh It's pale when gentlemen took exceptions to any remarks might make, by declaring myself peg- sohdtY responsible for what might say I will add oy way of showing that never shielded myself from personal responsibility. under the mantle of abhor renee or :. the code of honor" that have waived my cohsntuuonal privileges as a member of delib- erauve body to afford any gentleman an opportunity 70 seek personal satisfaction for any injury or inius- tee may have done him. I mention these facts of the old citizens here that had always thrown the door of honor wide open for any who might choose to ter and that Col Terry could easily have ascer tained this fact.
 haN0 S'lu nucu more tnan the man or the matter deserve and will close by merely adding that if Col Terry is anxious to redress his wrongs he shall have better opportunity for that purpose than his char acer or conduct entities him If therefore Terry will go back to the Sd July and for the insult there given ny me demand in writing personal satisfaction 1 will choose one friend, and he shall do the same and we will enter room to be selected by our friends unarmed. His friend shall then deliver to i'm one pistol oi aty kind. when we have approached with in two feet of each other and then give the word .fghf allow him pistol to compensate for the d lapidated shoulder. Or under like circumstances as above, we shall have our poor left arms for mine | complains terribly sometimes lashed fast together and each have pistol, equal in every respect, placed the fight to commence.

THE MURDERER MAGEE ALIVE WHEN Dis.

THE MURDERER MAGEE ALIVE WHEN DIs sECTED BY THE DOCToRS.-A report of the post mortem examination of the State prison mur- derer Magee lately hung in Boston, published in the Medical and Surgical Journal, suggests the startling idea that Magee was not killed by hangman's rope, but by the scalpel of the sur gical operator; that enough life remained after the hanging for proper appliances to have fam ned 1t into an active flame. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says he was cut down from the gallows at p minutes past 10, and the doc tors at once began operations upon the body. At half past II. a regular pulsatory movement was found to proceed from the heart itself, which gave distinct and regular single beat, with a slight impulse, 80 times minute The chest was then opened, and the heart exposed, without ln any way arresting the pulsatory movements. The right auricle was in full and regular motion, contracting and dilating with beautiful dwtinctness and energy. At l2 o'clock, the spinal cord having been previously divided, the number of contractions was 40 per minute, having continued with only slight intermission regularly up to this tima From this time to nearly 3 o'clock these phenomena continued, but growing weaker and weaker, and for half an hour afterwards they could be started up by irritation with the knife.
 Dr. Ainsworth remarked that all the appear ances usually observed in cases of hanging were here wanting, and thought that the first effect of the sudden fall was powerful concession of the bran- which paral*zeI the body, as in cases where blow or fall is received upon the extremity ef the sacrum, and that death occur red afterwards from strangulation.
 Dr. Clark expressed the opinion that as there was no lesion of any important organ, resusci- tation might possibly have been accomplished by aruica respiration etc, if efforts to that end had been made immediately upon the low ering of the body from the scaffod-tbat is. within half an hour after he fell-Lou. ,your

Or A good story is told of New Orleans editor, who thought himself "some'' at ten- pins. He challenged a stranger one evening who said that he wasn't much of a player, but he'd roll him game just for amusement, and they began. The stranger won two games easily, and then proposed that he should roll with his left hand against the editors right This was asseuted to. and the result was as be- fore. two more games being scored against the editor The stranger then seriously proposed to roll again, and not use his hands at all, but to kick the balls down the alley, the other using his right hand as usual The editor agreed thinking he had the fellow sure then; but he kicked the balls down the alley with astonish- Ing precision and success, making strikes" and "spares7 in a style which struck terror to the soul of the dumfounded editor. Two games were played in this unique manner, and were both scored against the editor. He then offsred to play another game, and blow the balls down tbe alley, using neither hsnds nor feet, but the editor was quite satisfied, and left the place amid the laughter of the company.
