The Thirty-Fifth Parallel.

Guide Right-Forward-JEFr. DAVIS.
 Yielding to the frequently expressed wish of friends throughout the State-an i'm partial conception of a State and local in terest, and the demands of party fealty, we propose to publish in this city, on the 4th of Oct, 1859. weekly newspaper, to be called the "THIRTY FIFTH PARALLEL" and to be devoted to the development of the re- sources of our State and section; the growth of our city; the great profit of Pacific railroad along the 35th parallel to tie Paci- lie Ocean, and the ascendency and perpe- tuity of democratic principles. Proper space and attention will be given in it's col umns to morality-homc news and news from abroad-agriculture arts and sclences- literature - commerce - foreign and domestic markets, etc., etc., and every facility will be offered its friends to publish their views upon these and other polite sub- Jects of general interest
 In announcing the politics of this paper we wish 1t to be understood that we hold faith with the principles of that democracy en. grafted upon the practical working of the government by Mir. Jefferson ill his admin lstratlon of its affairs, and practically car red out by Jackson, Polk and Pierce. in the succeeding administrations, with all the point and force of the strict coincidence of those principles with the rights of the States of the Union and consequently the

From the San Francisco Bulletin. Murder of Californians by the Mormons- Particulars of another Massacre.
WM. BYRNE, Sec'y.


 The Salt Lake Valley Tan, of rece date published letter received from Mar aposa, California, asking for information concerning the fate of six men, who left California, in 1857, to pass through Utah. and who are supposed to have been murder ed by the Mormons. This letter also gives a narrative of the journeyings of the six missing men, so far as the writer was con versant with them and states, also, that rumors of their murder had reached this State. For the purpose of introducing the important document which follows it, we publish the greater portion of the letter. The writer says:
 KIRK ANDERSON, EsQ.:-l have been re- quested by friend to write to you, or some other reliable person now in Utah, to ob tain, if possible, the particulars in regard to the murder, and the disposition made of the bodies, of six persons who left California early in 1857. The circumstances, so far as l know, are about as follows: Two brothers, Thomas and John Aiken, we'll known throughout the southern portion of this State; A. J. Jones, commonly known o' AAohSoey oouOo, anu JuTce OCnef men (names unknown) left California in the latter part of the summer of 1857, to join the army in Utah, as they supposed the army would be there by the time they would. In Carson Valley they fell in with the Nor mons, who were going to the city, in ac- cordance with Brigham call. With these Mormons they travelled to the Goose Creek Mountains, where, hearing of the hostility of the Mormons, and consequent halt of the army on Hams Fork, they left the Mor- mons with whom they had been travelling, and; to avoid trouble and delay, cut across with the intention of leaving Ogden City to their right, and reaching the army with out delay or difficulty.
 As soon as they had left camp. the Nor mons n dispatched a messenger post haste to Brigham, to let him know that these men were passing. His Majesty sent body of men to cut them off; they were arrested, without resistence, and brought down to

 R. H. JOHNSON, Esq
 Sir: l embrace few brief moments be- fore the departure of the mail, to advise you that the Great Ajax has arrived is here to-day and will be gone tomorrow This being the last day of the fair, and a large number of persons being in town, Col. Hindman had the opportunity of ad- dressing thousand democrats if they had been disposed to listen to him. His au- dienee composed, l suppose, between one and two hundred, partly of ladies and resi- dents of other counties, large number of whigs and know nothings, who occupied the chairs and benches within the railings, the democrats mostly occupied the rear, and were mere lockers on.
 Those democrats who did attend had an opportunity of seeing for themselves the truth of the oft repeated charge that Hind mans sympathizers were whigs and know nothings, and l was glad they had this op- portunity. Hindman's entire speech being trade against democrats, and being ap- plauded by the know nothings, had the ehect to show off as a regular old fashioned whg meeting, and it had telling effect, or !, should have, against Hindman, among the democrats who stood in the back ground as spectators. In this favored circle round the altar, at the head of the oft defeated and never torgiving squad of wbigs and khow nothlngs, sat in all his glory and pomp of former days, Judge Davy Walker. the defeated candidate for Congress. who was so soundly fogged by Gov. Yell in A his face all radient with smiles or convnls' ed with laughter as Hindman gave it to his old enemies. The Judge, who was never known to neglect his private affairs an hour before, sat four hours, gloating over Hind mans assaults on good democrats; he gazea intensely, deeply, hopefully in the disor ganizer's face, and applauded every blow that Hindman struck at the party. This revived in him old times, new hopes.- Capt. Cline, the unconverted philistine of the dark lanterns, was close by, and spur

A The compensation in many post offices is so inadequate that it is impossible to get efficient post masters; but in others the pay justifes "good and efficient ser vice." In the latter case there should be no excuses, but post masters required to come to the mark
 We never recollect a time that there were no complaints about the mails; and, as a general thing, we "grin and bear it. be- cause we can't help ourselves. We hope the evils complained of below by the Brownsville Echo will speedily be reme- died:
 OUR MAILS.
 We have refrained from saving any thing about the irregularities of our wes tern mails for some time, with the hone that all would, in few days, be right again. But we were mistaken. Several weeks ago we received a mailbag here filled with letters and papers for Arkadelphia, instead of Brownsville. At another time we SoI lue DdteSVllle mailbag. At the time, we passed this derelction of duty over in silence, thinking that probably the clerks at the Little Rock post office were rather spiritually confused, and that this neglect would not be repeated again. It has not; but since that time, our Little Rock exchanges invariably come by the cas- tern mail, sometimes eigh days after pub hcation. Upto this time Friday evening" we have not received a Little Rock paper of last week except the Gaeeae which came from Memphis Wednesday.
 Now, we would like to know, why should these things be? Is it not just as easy to put Brownsville mail matter in the Brownsville mail bag as to put it into anoth- CT and send it where 1t should not go? We should get Little Rock papers the next day after they are published, and ifthey were put in the Brownsville mailbag we would get them at the proper time. Will the Little Rock publishers try to remedy this evil? The fault lies either in them or the postmaster there, and it will be to taeiy interest to see to and rectify these postal >blunders.

the following card:
 am now engaged in the construction of house to carry on and complete my great design-the air ship-and, hope, by the spring of 1860, to have my favorite model aerial car Queen of the Air per fected. By this invention I expect to navi- gate the air at will with en inconceivable velocity. The car will be twelve feet long and four and half feet in its equatorial diameter, and of true pointed ellipse; and will be elevated, propelled, and directed solely by force of the electric engine, with out hydrogen gas, steam, fans, or rudders. l conhdentially expect to finish my experi- ments during the coming winter; and next summer, if successful, will make voyage to San Francisco, breakfasting here, dining there, and returning the same day for SUD- per, making the entire trip in about twelve hours! Such is the kind of motor agency which has occupied my attention As to its feasibility, I will leave the world to judge for itself when this statement shall have been practically demonstrated.

 Judge Halliburton was born in Wake county, \. C., but emigrated in early child hood with his father to Humphreys county, Tenn. where he lived a useful and honored member of society for 40 years-25 years of that time holding positions of honor and trust with credit to himself and to the sat- istaction of his fellow citizens.
 | In lS45 he removed with his family to Arkansas county, in this State, where he resided to the day of his death filling for several years the office of probate judge. Judge II. was always in politics an un. sWervlnS and consistent democrat-was for 40 years an honorable member of the Masonic fraternity, and died as he had lived, consistent member of the Missionary Bap- tist church. He lived to see nearly all his children grown up and occupying useful positions in society, and died regretted by all who knew him.
 To his bereaved wife and children, be the VI h4i'N tlldU ullCf luIliIl- ing in this life his duty to his God, his family, his country and his neighbor-for his soul abounded in charity-he never turned deaf ear to the cry of distress, but his hand, prompted by the impulses of mo- ble heart was always ready to relieve the wants of the needy.
