We had the pleasure of meeting eOld Gin
ger" who had just arrived from Fort Smith
last evening, who informs us that he was re-
quested byGen. A. G. Mayors to say to the
people Of Van Buren,, that he (the Gen was
a candidate to represent Sebastian county in
the next legislature, and that he would be
elected, and then would remove the federal
court from Van Buren to Fort Smith, to pay
the citizens of Crawford county for going
against him in the memorable Clarke and
Mayers election of 1852. Now, don't Gen,
we beg of you, be little more magnanimous;
but what are you going TO do with the citiz-
ems of Sebastian outside of Fort Smith, who
served you equally as bad as those of Craw-

Ozark, Nav 18th, :!


Editor Of the Inteiiigencer:
am somewhat astonshed to see that our
neighbors of Fort Smith are letting down on
the a5th parallel route. III may be allowed
to form judgment from an editoria! in the
last Herald, their only reason or at least the
reasons of the Herald's advocacy of the 35th
parallel heretofore, has been because Of the
benefit tina. would accrue to Fort Smith alone,
and not because they were convinced that it
was the best nearest, and most practicable
route to california. | am surprised that the
Herald should thus acknowledge its selfish
policy SO openly. The editor says Sc for as
any ad0c'stage to be derived (to Fort SMITH
from making this a point on the route IS con-
cerned, are deriUe cs much benefit from 1t, as
fit had been run on the s5M parallel, and
zoe ought TO be satisfied" The people ought
to be satisfied let the route 60 where it will
after it has reached Fort Smith, because they
the people Of Fort Smith will deriye as much
benefit, DC, as if it had been run Cd the 35th
PARALLEL Very selfish all this. Is the He
raid willing to eat its own words, to disavow
all that it has heretofore said against the 32d
parallel route and in favor of the 35th p
The Herald may rest assured that unless the
35th parallel route is established, that in less
than five years from this date, Fort Smith will
cease to receive any of that benefit for which
the editor thinks I'VE ought to be satisfied"
for as soon as the railroad now in course of
construction from Vicksburg to Shreveport in
louisiana, and to Marshall, Texas, and thence
on in the direction of Ell Paso shall have been
completed as far as Fort Belknap, the bene-
fits which Fort Smith viii derive from the
overland California mail route will be Just
none at all. The whole article of the Herald
appears to be craw,fshiny from unjust at
tacks they have made upon the Postmaster
General, with the idea Of throwing dust in
his eyes for the purpose Of getting him to es-
tablish distributing Postofiice at Fort Smith
the veil is so fimsy. however, that it is easi-
ly seen through as vide the following extract
from ths Herald's article:
I'VE have perhaps been wrong in aitribu-
ting to Gov. Brown improper motives in his
management of this great contract. We
thought that he was showing great partiality
to the southern and central portions Of the
State, to the negligence Of the north and west,
but we now think that bis only aim has been
to adopt the routes and means best calculated
to insure the successful execution of the con-
tract.

The ss,h Parallel to California.

ages possessed by the 35th parallel or Albu-

Mr.. Luce in connection with Lieut. Beale, to

Tie fght betOeen Gen. Jackson and tie Ben
tons-The st. Louis Leader, giving a sketch
Of the life Of Col Benton, gives the following
account of the fight between Gen. Jackson
and a party of bis friends, and Thomas Hart
and Jose Benton:
Attended by, we believe, Ave friends, all
armed to the teeth. as best, beseemed "A man
in those days-that is to say, with pistols and
dirks-he (Jackson) fell upon the two Ben
tons, who, Standing upon the defensive, and
the vantage ground OF doorway, shot him
down, and would have slain him but for the
interposition OF fresh conner, who seized Col.
Benton's hand at the moment when he WAS
about to strike TO the heart, with his poignard
the General, whom he was holding down, and
had already shot with pistol ball, which he
carried III his body almost to the end Of his
life. 1t is scarcely to be supposed that this
conflict could serve TO restore the former un-
derstanding between two men of tempers far
from being very christian. The feud never
again came to blows; but, in vindcatiye eff
forts to inJure each other, it never slackened,
until, weared with the contest Col. Benton
abandoned the field to his formidable adver-
sary, aud migrated afiesh 10 Missouri, where
higher fortunes, but not calner cnes awaited
him.

we derive a. much benefit from it, as If it had
been run on the Sath parallel, and We ought

agree with the Herald at Gov. Brown
has undoubtedl~ aimed in eating the m;fl
route, to adopt that which considered the
most practicable. Gov. b pwn has had to
rest his Judgment in the Sc ection of route
upon the reports of govern ment and army
officers, and We all know hov one sided those
reports frequently are. " lie we who live
upon ahis frontier, having more practical
knowledge of the matter, firmly fixed in

Gov. Brown has done more 4 aid of mail "a

in this regard. 1t would sec 1 apparent from
the whole article OF the Herald, that if they
could get distri ting Office established at
