 What the Arkansas Papers Say.
 From the Fort Smith Times we learn ot d ffi- cuties existing among the Cuoctaw Indians.
 The comments of the editor are worthy of attention. He says:
 '' lt wtll be recollected, that the Choctaws, some mouths ago, framed d new constitution. and that anew set ot officers were elected and quallhed, IL the natIou, with the exception of two Ur three counties. ln those counaes there appears to be strong opposition to the new constitution, and determination not to submit to It. Things have been in this situation for some months, and, We understand tbat many oi the dlsaiicctel portion Of the na.ion have held another convention, and framed another Constitution for the Choctaw nation, and are now about to submit It to the Choclaw people. Al the same tune this work Is going on, there are several counties, m the nation, where the new constltutIon works we'll and all of the off ceTs pefotm ther several duties without cppo- siEou, and, we hear of no complaint n those lUuhues. Gov Walker appears to be a Very peaceabe good man, and disposed tu do all in his power to aid Ills pe" pie iu the road tt c:vi- llzatlon aLd seii-govern rnnent. But he merts win serious opposition from Gov. HarNu-, Iufner ch.ei oi Inc nation, and the influence ot liarAIhs Is considerable, as he is a bold deter. nined man, and NC are somewhat smpfl,ed at the UoV as We arc informed tnaC he Was oue oi inc main supporter, ol the uew co'stitut.on When 1t Was ilrst promulS gated. Atweaei.t noM- eNer' he E eNertuSa very powerful Influence, when Is revolutionary iu lts character.
 Ouf informant believes thls state of affairs has been produced by abohtonsts amou. lh,. Indians, who are exciting the Choctaus. with the hope oi getting up another kallsas d fiji euly 50 that these freedom shuekerS may have Ano- ther chance of giving Uncle Sam a little more lfou0ie' and extending the ofea ct .Jfealone-- such as recommen ied, by Massachusetts and other freedom shrehlus states. We hope tue United States will pay iittle attention to Uni. matter airi nip it in the bud'
 The same paper thus notices religious ex- citement among the Cherokees:
 For several days, during last week, the Cherokee Indians, few miles from this place. across the river, held camp meeting, or pro- tracted meeting. We understand that several of them, on the occasion, proiessed to have ex- perienced that indispensable change which Is necessary to saIvatlou-change from nature to grace--and others were awakened to the immi nent aud impending danger iu which their i'm. mortal souls were Involved.'
 | "A correspondent of the Powhatan Adver tser, writing from Pocahontas says
 "Thefe is young man now on his trial for larceny, and fir m the evidence l should say lie was fast young man. He came into the State about two weeks ago, had several quar- rels with his neighbors, stole d coupleo of pistos few boxes of matches a cake of cheese. and left the State was followed the same day to Donophon, Mo-, taken as a prisoner before 4 justice, committed to jail last Tuesday in Poca hontas was indicted on Wednesday, was arra- lgned on l thursday. and trial commenced on Friday, which is now (Saturday) about closing and We expect in less than six days he will he in the penitentiary. This is what call walk ng the plank by telegraph, and certainly Hall has no rshtto complain at the speedy manner Tn winch Arkansas judges aud iuries put fel- low through. This will be good lesson to the lazy scoundrels, who are proving about the country stealing Whatever they can lay their hands on."
 We learn from the Arkansaw Traveller that the people of Clark county are agtating the question of removing their county seat. The editor says:
 RELIGIOUS REvIvAL--A meeting was co.. mcnced at the NJ. E. church in this place m Friday night of the week before the last: and has been kept up, day and night ever since, until the present time, (Monday) Quite an excitement has 'been produced, and quite number ot our citizens have united with the church."
 The State Rights Democrat proposes con ventlon to be held at Helena on the 26tb inst to settle the claims of Childress and Coldwsu who are both hicanddates for prosecuting at.or- hey for the first judicial crcuit.
 We find in that paper the following an- nouncement, and it gives us pleasure to wei. come MT. Thompson into the ranks of Arkan- sas editors
 In the absence of the senior editor. the State Rights Democrat will be under the edi- torlal management of J. II. Thompson, esq. late of the Avalanche office, who will take charge next week. We bespeak for him that courtesy to which, as gentleman and demo. crat, he is entitled, and winch tue friends of this office can so gracefully render"
 From the Camden State Rights Eagle we learn that the enterprsing people of that four lshing city are taking steps to construct tele. graphic line from that place to Trenton, La., there to connect\with the vicksburg and Shreye- port telegraph lihe.
 The same papeS contains the following arti- cle in reference to\ the candidates for Senator from that district:
