From Drew County.

Drew Co.,. Ark., July 18th, 1858.
 MR. EDIToR--It is not often that I under take to write for the public eye, from the fact that my humble vocation would seem to pre- clude the idea that anything great or useful could emanate from my pen. But,nevertheless,I feel disposition to say few words with res- pect to political affairs at this time. Drew county Is honored with three independent can- dldates for the legislature, all democfats. One of them takes firm stand against conventions and caucuses, while the other two favor the idea of conventions, provided they are gotten up and conducted in manner which they conceive to be proper. The democracy of Drew met twice in convention in the town of Monticello, and although better attended than any conven- tions ever held in the county before: still the aspirants seem to think that some of the town. ships were not well represented, and coase- quently refused to submit their claims; so both conventions adjourned without making any nominations, thereby leaving the ring clear There is no telling which of the three will be elected, nor does it matter. But enough on that atsubject.
 wish now to call the attention of your nr,- merous readers, to the attempt that is now be- ing made to supplant the able and patriotic Se- 'bastian in the United States. If I am not mis- taken, the conventions of some of the counties have passed resolutions in favor of the aspir- apts to that eleAated station. Even the Sage of Monticsllo, although ptsofssssdly neutral in

The CarihoW.

The following is description of the natural carlow, as described in New Orleans paper; For political caribows, see the opposition can- didates:
 hls carlow, to our eye, is something more than an ordinary lusus noturc. involving, as tt does. the heterogeneity of variety of hstures. To be brief, it is something having the 6gure of an elephant the horns of goat, the hair of hog, the feet of an OK, the ears of an ass, the hide of hippopotamus. and a gener- al rhipoceroal appearance.
 The caribow lives upon such provender as is used for the horse. chews the cud like a COW, aisllkes salt, and though made up of so many rough animal natures, is perfectly docile. He VIII lick the hands of visitors and may be seen " ladies with the most perfect safety. We are 'o'd, too. that it will remain an hour under Maler, and walk upon the bottom of a streanl, nisnce.a

Who is General Proper?

In the highly respectrbie city of Newark in the State of New Jersey, place noted far and wide for its extensive manufacture of cham pagne wine, there lately came live General by the name of Proper. The General, besid es owning large estates in Mississippi, owned in Arkansas, two or three towns with school houses. churches, factories, etc. His landed property was immense and his "niggers" plenteous. He employed teachers male and female to come on aud educate his tenantry, ministers to preach to them and workmen for his factories The prices to be paid were astonshingly high. The Newark papers were filled with accounts of the Proper farms, towns and settlements in Arkan- sas, and what great things were to be done by the aid of Yankee preachers and "school marms." Great was the ferment, the winding up of business affairs, buying outfits, packing trunks, bidding adieus and general preparation Tor movement westward. All the women, strong minded and weak minded fell in love with General Proper. The Generals credit was unlimited and every door was open to him.
 S' on exhibition at the business points, while full descriptions of the same were given in the pa- pers Whole families were to come with the General, his vast possessions were to be colon- Ized by New Jersey people and great things were to be done. Such was the state of things when it was hnted that the General was a sham. The finale of the story we give in the words of the Trenton, N. J. Gazette
 Nobody seemed to doubt for one moment that the General was all, and even more, than he represented himself to be; and when it was hInted in the New York Police Gazette that this marvellous general had served two years m the Sing Sing prison, all Newark, with the ueneral at their head, rose up and repelled the lnSnuatlon with virtuous indignation. The General published cards of denial. The Ne wark editors backed up his denials with threat ening editorials Al last the record of his con vlcton was published. The General left, and all Newark is clothed in sackcloth and ashes! Some insist he is not the same person named in the record of onviction-oti.ers beqin to "smell rat'-the Mercury begins to think the General rascal The Daily Advertiser covers ls'lt up ina mantle of dignity and says nothing The Journal had an interview with the General, but does not appear to have been very essentially taken in. It appears to have been laughing in it's sleeve But where is the Gen. eral? The watchmen look for him. The gentlemen who loaned him money at word. expect hlm to appear every moment. At pre- sent all is breathless suspense. The trains are watched but at last accounts nothing is heard or known of the whereabouts of Gen. Proper while in every part of the State all hands unite in the opinion that the Newarkers have been essentially soM!

John Smith.

Have we John Smith among us? If so, let him read the following from the New York Evening Post, and learn by how many different methods his omnipresent patronymic is express ed Here are his various designations; by which it will be seen that he has habtatiun in all lands:
 Latn-Johannes Smithius.
 Italian-Govanni Smithi. Spanish-Juan Smithas
 Dutch--Hans Schmidt.
 French--Jean Sheets.
 Greek--Ion Skmitton.
 Russian--Ionlof SchmiItowski.
 Polish--Ivan Schmittiweiski.
 Chinese--'rahn Shmmit.
 Icelandic--Tahne Smttson.
 Welsh-Jiohn Schmidd.
 Tuscarora--Ton-T Ia -Smittla.
 And if he has ever felt an inclination to dis own his appelation, and become plain MT. Brown. or Jones, let him read the following; and we venture to say he will be ready to throw up his hat and shout "vieve la Smith" It is a harangue recently delivered in one of our neighboring cities by Smith, the razorstrop man who evidently glories in his title:
 Gentlemen, my name is Smith, and l am proud to say that I am not ashamed of it. It may be that no person in this crowd owns that very uncommon name. If, however there be one such, let him hold up his head, pull up his dickey, turn out his toes, take courage, and thank his stars that there are few more left of the same sort. Smith, gentlemen, is an illustrious name,
 And stanos very high in the annals of fame,
 Let White Brown and Jones increase as they will,
 Believe me that Smith will outnumber them still.
 Gentlemen, I am proud of being an original Smith; not a SMlTHE nor SMITH, but a regular. natural. original SMITH, Smith. Put ting in the middle, or an at the end, won't do, gentlemen. Who ever heard of a grea. man by the name of Smyth or Smith-e? Echo answers. who? and everybody says. nobody. But as for Smith-plain SMITH, SAITH why the. pillars of fame afe covered with that h0n- ored and fevSred name.
