Dss~ Whether Gen. Walker will be per.
mitted to sail from Mobile, is question
of much interest at this juncture, and
upon its solution, great events probably
hang. Had he been a northern filHbuster.
bent upon extending the area of freedom,
he would not have failed in his first ex-
petition; but with an anti-slavery Presi-
dent at the helm of government, his FIRST
two attempts failed, as will, probably, the
third The spirit which prompts northern
democrats to advocate the annexation of
Cuba, as the means of suppressing the
slave trade and circumscribing the slave
States, would have forwarded Walkers ex
petition had he been of the same stripe.
But the remotest prospect of extending
slavery and beneftting the South, alarms
northern democracy, and the northern
President at once goes to work to defeat
any such attempt. Well. the South de-
serves no better treatment. 1t has been.

rG~ We aae pleased to announce that
the Directors of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company have advertised for
proposals for the construction of the
Branch road from Bowling Green to the
State line, and the 29th of next month is
the time for opening said proposals. This
is cheering intelligence, and will gladden.
the hearts of those who have so long strug-
gled, almost against hope, for that i'm
portant link in great chain of Railroad
communication, reaching from New York
to New Orleans and we feel assured that
the day is not distant when GAINESVILLE
will have free and quick communication
with the extreme North west, Southwest
and South, and perhaps with the North,
via Henderson. The uncertainty of river
navigation, and its cessation at a period of
the year when commerce should be active,
has long been great inconvenience, and
it becomes the greater every year, with
the Increase of trade. At this moment,
our Warehouses are literally crowded with
-four that should have gone forward to
market weeks and months ago, and the
Millers are lying out of the use of the
capital vested in that article The import
trade, too, important at this season, is cut
off by the same cause and coal and groce-
ries are running short-indeed, of the
former, none is to be had, except by the
unbuSiness-like means of begging, borrow
ing and stealing.

Bsy- Mr., Steedman, the Congressional
printer, in speech at Toledo, and on the
occasion Of an ovation to Douglass, made
remark which may have much signif-
canoe at this time. He said he hoped ere
long, to see two hundred thousand people
assembled at Chicago to proclaim Douglass
the peoples candidate for the Presidency.
Does he mean that the little giant will not
take his chances in the Charleston Con-
vention, and that a movement is on foot
for Convention at Chicago to nominate
candidate without the cooperation of
the South? We have all along believed
and asserted that Douglass intended to be
an Independent candidate, if not nomina-
ted at Charleston, but did not suppose he
would be the candidate of the North, like
Fremont. Things have come to such a
deplorable pass, however, that man,
trained in the school of locofocoism is
prepared to do anything for his political
advancement without the slightest regard
for the interests of the country Should
the policy, foreshadowed by the remark of
Mr.. Steedman, be followed out, we shall
have another campaign, in the South,
based upon the cry of--"no chance |" and
the locofocos will again appeal to the con-
servatives to rally to the standard of some
locofoco in order to defeat Douglass. For
one, in such contest, we will never favor
the claims of the Charleston nominee to
beat Douglass, or any other locofoco who
may raise the standard of rebellion; they
are all alike--of the same brood-and il
there is room for choice, it is in favor Of
the one bold enough to defy the mandates
of the regular sanhedrim.

EMIGRATION TO ARKANsAs.-The editor
of the Fort Smith Herald acknowledges
the receipt of numerous letters making
inquiry in regard to the character and
price of the lands near that place. The
editor replies to letter from Mr.. j. p.
Dunlap, of Paris, Tenn, as follows:
eve will answer the inquiries of Mr..
Dunlap by saying that Congress passed a
law few years ago graduating the price
of public lands to actual settlers, in every
State were the General Government owns
land, and these prices are graduated, not
according to the quality of the lands, but
according to the length of time the lands
have been in market. This law affects all
the public lands in Arkansas and there
are millions of acres unsold, and the prices
are graded from 12Ii cents up to rs cents
per acre, and an actual settler can procure
rich land in many places as low as 121t
cents per acre. These lands are being
entered all over the State very fast All
man has to do is to find the land that
will suit him, and settle on it and pay
whatever it is worth, in accordance with
the above alluded to. There are land
offices in every district in the State, open
all the time for entries.
The best route for travel from Tennes-
see, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North
and South Carolina, is by way of Memphis,
and the Arkansas river, by the way Of
Napoleon. The river is high now, and
boats are running all the time. There is
plenty of room we say to all, come
along"

AN HONEST CoNFEssIoN.--The Cincin-
natl Commercial, in considering the effect
of the bred Scott decision, makes a very
frank admission of the reason why the
North opposes slavery, in the following
paragraph:
"There is not single State in the
Union, whose collective morals are potent
enough, effectually to resist the introduc-
ton of slaves, provided it could appear to
the general satisfaction, the act would be,
in an economical point of view, profitable.
Make the possession of few negroes
source of wealth, and the scruples would
disappear as rapidly as the figures in a
phantasmagoria, and conscientious qualms
would only be remembered 10 be derided
1t is fortunate for us that the question of
freedom or slavery does not depend upon
simply the moral sense of the communi-
ty; but upon something in its character
far more reliable We do not mean by
this, with Mr.. Seward, that the people, by
the mere hope of the profits growing out
of slavery would be seduced and permit
themselves to become demoraized, but
simply that when-if it ever does-the
question comes up to them in its econom-
ical aspects, they will speedily discover, as
all slaveholding communities have done be.
fore them, that there is no moral element
in the matter"

B6r From an article in the Bauner, we
gather the following facts, which are
worthy the serious consideration of the
people. During the three years of Mr..
Fillmore's administration, the expenses of
the government were reduced $40, 900, 900;
during the four years eff Pierce's admins
tration, they were increased S24 100000 /;
and in the two first years of Old Buck S
administration, they have been increased
s22, 100000, above Pierces extravaganza.
The lesson to be learned from these facts
is, that an honest administration costs the
people reasonable sum for the manage
ment of their public affairs, whilst cor
rupt one requires large excess which is
expended in bying votes and rewarding
partizans. The moral is, that honesty is
not only the best policy, but the best
economy. Knaves fatten upon the guilt
bility of fools, and locofoco knaves have
cheated the people, in the last twenty
years, out of money enough to defray the
expenses of the government for that
entire period.

Gum Slaves, when seasoned, too brittle, and
will be condemned for the fu;ure There has
been too great a disposition on the part Of some
of the Planters TO mix with thir good Tobacco
small and iafciior Tobacco, by putting it in the
outside layers, aud on the outs dc or lining Of
the hogshead. This is all wrong and must be
brokrn up. For the future this TobaC co will be
put in the sample Again. many Planters are in
the habit Of putting two more layers of Lugs
in each head to preserve the good Tobacco There
is necessity for THE if the heading is well sea-
soned A break Of this will also be put in the
sample for the future, We would recommend
that Tobacco be put up in drier order than here
toforc. For the last Two seasons. it has in most
instances been priced too soft. II is undoubtedly
the interest of the Tobacco growers of this coun.
