What the Arkansas Papers Say.

l
 The Fort Smith Times proposes to publish a semi weekly sheet if 800 subscribers can be obtained
 Scotts theatre is represented as hourishing. | The Times has another article on the Indian government that we have cut out for republica- tion.
 l The secoud number of the Batcsville Cou- Tier is before us. The first number was not received or if it was some person did us the kindness to borrow it. The editor and propre- tor is A. ?. Cogswel, whom we welcome into the editorial ranks The leading article iu the number before Us s one on the dissolution of the Union of which the editor takes hopeful view. The following is the conclusion of his article:
 We should consider the facts as they are that large portion of .he Eorthegn people arc using every effort to stay this t6ntnual warfare Il on cur interests, ant hey are of the ] better class of societ, believing that we can | take care of our own busiuess without any h. teiicrence by them. Taking all these facts ln- to consideration, We do not believe this Union i, in great danger. After the storm there is always calm. We think we have had the storm, or that the most of its fury IS spent- And We believe f ever. free negro now in the snntn Was driven 10 the free States, and our people cease to rejoice over abolition elections that before 1860 we would see such a change u political affairs, as wouli make glad the heart ot every true southern man."
 The Jefferson Independent has the follow | ing:
 q In answer to the challenge to Pine Bluff, from the Little Rock Chess Club, we will only say. that We have no organized club in our town and but few players of any merit, but Pine Bluff chivalry cannot allow the challenge to pass unaccepted, though it came from Morphy himself.
 Little Rock will hear from us anon" The following also from the Independent, is | a severe blow at our credit:
 The editor of the True Democrat having | promised to send his own paper and the Herald to any one furnishing Lkewellyn proof jail, we havlng furnished the plan demanded payment ln S'nger cakes, preierring supply Of that | down east vegetable to an extra copy of those two journals, though so excellent of their kiud l m reply the editor sends Us an order on any l baker Tn our town for two dollars worth of yankee mamma, at the same time assuring us thatthc Herald man will duplicate the order, | thereby furnishing us for the winter with our | avorte diet.
 | If the credit of the Herald is no better in our town than the True Democrat, we are likely to eat no cakes except at our own ex pense, since we have presented the order sent
 Us at all the bakeries in town aud have been forced to turn from each with the bitter disap- polntment of hope deicrrcd" and an untor- tnnate prediicton, all unhappy appetite unsa- tishcd. We have listened lmpatiently, have dreamed oni5ht of the musical sound of that rumbllng "wheel- barrow load of cakes at our oillce door, but 1t comes not. We think the editor has done ns great wrong to raise hopes thus sadly blighted. If he will get the Gov ernor's ndorsement we may possibly be able to get rid of 1t on the faith of the flush trea- sury, but if any more fifty thousand dollar | toans are asked for other railroads, we hardly think the indorsement would enable us 10 shave it for ninety cents in the dollar.
 We look anxiously for the duplicate order from the Herald, and better security for the payment of the impossible order from the De- inocrat.H
 ilumph! We told the editor of the Qua chita Herald to pitch into the Independent, and we would hold his hat. On second thoughts We advise him not to, for Mr. Douglas writes with a short nbbed pen. 'Dugans out"
 P. $. We cannot get an indurser The Oaachita Herald in leading article declares that the Charleston convention must nominate southern man, and says:
 "We want the issue distinctly made, and in order to do 80, 1t is necessary that man should be nominated who is sound to the core, who will uphold the constitution and respect the Dred Scott decision, practically as well as theo- retically. Let the convention therefore. de- clare that slavery is not moral evil that slaves are property protected by the constitution. that he shareholder may lawfully emigrate with his slaves to any territory belonging te the United Siafes thaI neither langrens l.r h..
