Gratifying.

As the Gazette does not appear till next Sat urday and the friends of Capt. Danley will feel some solicitude in his behalf, we anticipate the appearance of the opposition organ, by inform ing them that the Captain is entirely out of danger. He has beaten the office of State Senator long ways. The wicked offi;e was not expected to catch him in Prairie county, though his friends had some groundless fears that it would; but in this county there was some danger The Capt. made stand here, but fortunately, Col. Terry caught the office and secured it, so the danger is past.
 We are satisfied thateverybody will be grat- fled to see this check put to the vile practice oi offices starting on a wild hunt after men.

G- From the State Rights Democrat of the 31st ult., we are informed of the accident that happened to Col. Hindman. We are sincerely glad that he is improving, and hope that the news of his triumphant election may find him we'll:
 ACCIDENT TO Cor. HINDMAN.--As this gen. tleman and friend were returning in buggy from the speaking at Burris' Spring last Mon day evening, they suddenly came up to where negro was felling tree, which was on the tih when discovered by them--the cracking noise first drawing their attention. They were in few feet of being within the scope of the falling tree, and Col. H. immediately jumped out, just as his companion suddenly turned the horse, to avoid being crushed. By some acci dent Col. Hindman fell on his side, breaking his thigh. and badly injuring his hip-in fact it was supposed for some time after that his hip was dislocated. He suffered intense agony un- til next day, when the pain somewhat subsided. He could scarcely bear being moved from the spot. His friends carried him to the residence of Mr. Alfred Smizer, in the neighborhood, where he will remain until he improves sufi. clently to bear removal to town.

THE PARAGUAY COMMISSION ER-Comman- der Page will be placed in command of the squa- dron to accompany the United States Commis- sioner to Paraguay. This will be iudicious selection. Paraguay insulted our flag while it was insIhe keeping of Commodore Page, and it Is very proper that he should be authorized to enforce, if necessary, redress for the outrage.

FROM UTAH.--The United States troops were to encamp at Cedar Valley, forty miles below Great Salt Lake City. The Mormons were re- turning, though Young was erecting buildings at Prov and it was supposed that lie would keep part of his family there. The proclamation of Governor Cummings, dated June 14th, after granting pardon to all persons who submit to the federal authority, invites the Mormons to return and announces that the territorial statutes, especially those against gaming, will be strictly enforced

THANKs.-We are indebted to our fellow. lownsman, A. J. Ward, who has just returned from Tennessee, for late papers. Mir. Ward, not content with establishing large carriage factory, erecting buildings, and otherwise m- proving the city, has, we are told brought home with him beauteous, blooming bride, to add to the acknowledged beauties of Little Rock. We wish him much joy and tender her hearty and respectful welcome to Arkansas.

CRoPs.-We have had opportunities of con- versing with persons from all parts of the State concerning the crops. With the exception of a very few localities the corn crop will be more than an average one Fruit of all kind is abund- ant; peaches, apples, pears, etc., are nowin mar ket selling cheaply. The cotton crops, though below the averase, will yield doubly what was anticipated six weeks since.

I ne above are all new cases but this particu- lar mode of swindling the public is not new invention, as is shown by the records of the post-otfice department. In 1849 there were returned to the office here 624 letters address ed to Senor Jose de Alvear, and containing three dollars each. In 1850 there were 959 letters returned addressed to Dr. R. M. Weisselhoff and containing one dollar each. The noted firm of "Dashal & Co., of Chicago, had let ters returned here, in 1855, containing the large sum of S3,645; and the firm of "W. J. Buck < Co.," of the same place, were refused the delivery of 250 letters, which atthe dead letter othce, were found to contain $685.. The whole of thls money thus seized upon by the post of- nee department has been returned to the parties enclosing 1t, but at heavy cost of labor to the government. When will the American people cease to be humbuggedo

 0T The Gazette of last week chuckled over what 1t supposed to be mistake of ours in describing the opposition as ga Cossack foe" having in the same article, alluded to the bat lie of the Pyramids.
 We used the word "Cossacl" in preference 10 the word "Mameluke" as better describing the character of the opposition who attacked and retreated, came within sight and wheeled off and whose policy was to harrass and annoy without giving us a fair encounter. We might have called them Parthians, as still better de- scrbng their mode of warfare, inasmuch as they run and fight and depend on stratagems for sue cess.
 They make the most of their policy this time, for, we can assure them that in 1860 they will not be allowed to skulk, to hide, or to es- cape by swiftness of tongue
 They will be required to define their pos lions then and range themselves under the black banner of free-soilism or the glorious old banner of democracy.
 We tell them this now, thus early in the day, Bo that they may set their houses in order and be prepared.

From the Kentucky Statesman. Hon. Cassius M Clay and the Opposition.


 This distinguished champion of the republi- can party in Kentucky, addressed his fellow citizens of the Big Glad, Madison county, on the 4th inst, touching the political movements of the day. He referred at length to the course of the party leaders at Washington during the last winter and commended in the most lauda- tory terms the action of Messrs Crittenden, Marshall Underwood, and their confederates. He welcomed them as worthy allies in the abo- ltion cause; said they had come to him, and he | was ready to strike hands with them in the ef- fort to consolidate all the elements of opposition to democracy Herecognized in the democratic party the only unrelenting foe black-republican- | ism has to encounter, and hailed the accession of such southern statesmen as Crttenden, Mar shall and Underwood as the happiest omen of success which had yet occurred to encourage him and his friends. He pledged the votes of the Kentucky free -soilers in support of the American ticket this summer.
 There is deep sgr ifcance in these remarks of Mr. Clay. However much his political sen- timents may be disapproved fo by our readers, he is by all regarded as gentleman of talent and high attainments, politician of sufficint shrewdness to discern the tendencies of parties and foresee the resultof important movements. l He is known to be a devoted advocate of the abolition of slavery, and so wholly wrought up in the cause as to subordinate to it's ad vance, ment every other political consideration. In | the retirement of his home he has evidently watched the course of the party leaders at l Washington, and can not refain from an ex. ulting expression of satisfaction at the position taken by cur American representatives Warmly he welcomes MT. Crittenden as a co-worR CT in the great cause. and in overhowng gratitude to the American facton for the service it has done to the abolition party, he promises its candates his support aud that ofhis friends. Thus have Seward, Wilson, Giddings, Rur1ingame ard Corwn heralded the praises of Mr. Crittender and his followers at the north, while Cassius NJ | Clay and his supporters sound their fulsOme praises in Kentucky. Mr. Clay rightly appreci ateS the services of American members, anc does not over-estimate the aid they have giver | his party
