Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-09-07
at first, then it became ridiculous and no 1t is disgusting.
 The following is from the Southron:

The following is from the Southron: Few, Fewer and Fewest.
 '' Several weeks since announced that the ad vocates for the per diem pay diminishing every day, and ere long there would be none found so low as to sustain this run on the State Treasury This has proven true. And now make this predic- | ton, that the course of Col. Hindman will render him as unpopular the per diem question has be- come. Six months ago in Monroe county he had | a respectable number of friends though bv no means half of the democratic party with him. On 1 Monday morning last gentleman from that county called at our oce and incidentally ill conversation gave 1t as his honest opinion that if Col Hindman were candidate he did not believe he could get | fifty votes Ill the county. The same mornino tyvo other gentlemen from the same county offered to 70 treat that there cannot be found teI men in that county for Col. Hindmnn. From this, it anpears that his friends growing few few CT and 50 very n,e,,irkabiy few that they scarcelvbe found at
 The Southron will be known hereafter as the Helena Note Book. The land sales at that place were well attended and lands sold from one to fourteen dollars an acre, and we are told some tracts sold as high as thirty dollars an acre. We are not certain that the slow growth of Arkansas fer ten or fifteen years, has not been of advantage alter all. Now that our advantages are be- coming known, the right kind of popula- ton IS coming; farmers, planters and work ing men who seek homes and intend to stay. We think the census of 1860 will show an increase that will astonish those who are not so fortunate as to live in our glorious State
 The Van Buren Press favors the loan of State credit towards building railroads as pursued in Missouri and other States Other ermedicinal springs in Crawford county, known as the Heard Springs, are to be it- ted up as a place of resort No State in the Union can boast of as fine springs, of all varieties, as Arkansas. The Hot Springs, White Sulphur Springs in Jefferson, the Searcy Springs, the Dardanele and others, if located in any of the eastern States. would make the land for miles around them worth dollar an inch. The time will soon come when these capabilities will be all de- veloped
 The Fayetteville Arkansian announces that Prof, Robert Graham has accepted a proieSsorship in the Kentucky University. and has removed to Harodsburg, in that State. In losing MT. Graham, our State loses ripe scholar, an accomplished gen tleman and good man. This is not the only instance of Arkansas sending her citi- zens to other States to fill high positions. Mir. Graham will deserve and command success
 The Arkansian gives a history of disor- ganizers and Reorganization and scores the Helena disorganizers to the red Among ether items we clip the two following from that paper:
 i've We hope when Col Hindman comes round sailoush the counties Of Madison Benton and Wosb liSton, he will explain to the ,,o,,,lo t to 9fTrynaf'der our district so as to tbrn, nose thfee count es out of the first dist,ic+ f tbn ter northern friends, and put them in,o 'he southern district? Why he wanted in Int ,,S not only across the Mountain but even or tbaottaa side of the Arkansas river? If he Is sick and tired of us, we can assure him that cur feelings are mutual. If he wants .yor4an io divide Us, we will put him on totaer side
 :" Hinlman'- organs pretend that they want to secure the harmony of the party. Ii they are sin cere in this declaration, why did he then commence such upou Judge Sebastian; upon Col. John son; upon Judge GreenWood; upon Ali Wilson; upon the Ime Democrat, Bentonvle Appeal, and all the tools as Hindman styles those who will not join in hia disorganization?''
 The editor of the Arkansaw Ira geler, in an article upon the progress of abolitionism, reiterates and proves his former assertions in re gard to the growth of the anti-slavery sentiment It is singular that with the knowledge of such facts as are recapitulated in the Traveller, the opposition in the south will continue to act with the black republi- cans and invite the enemy into the folt.- Stranger still, that men calling themselves democrats should be found endeavoring to divide the party and by Reorganization leave us at the mercy of our enemies. The article in the Traveller concludes in these words:
 "We believe the time has come when the south l should make common cause against the common enemy; and instead of tIitteriHg Hway our time in making causing dissensions it home, We should combine our entire forces for, first political and moral defense of our rights an integral portion 1 os tue Union; and these failing, then for armed resistance against the accursed and tanatca assaults of the aboiitOuiSs, upon an institution that in no wise concerns then-p0liticaly, socially and reli- giously. If this is treason to the government make the most of it.''
 The Jefferson Independent, in an article upon the culture of the grape shows that the vine can be successfully cultivated here and after the vines commence bearing their is a hundred per cent annual profit In refer ence to our hill lands now rejected by plan ters and farmers they would be astonished to know that mountain plateaus or terraces so situated that no vehicle can reach them, or inaccessible to wagons, in vine growing countries sell for five thousand dollars an acre. There is not a mountain in Arkan sas, which if cultivated in like manner would not yield hundreds of dollars to the acre. Large vineyards have been planted in Missouri and Texas These have already been successful and it is reasonable to sup pose that they will be extended into our State. We read now of large vineyards covering several hundred acres Small ones are in operation now and these demonstrate that our climate is admirably adapted to the cultivation of the grape, We clip the fol- lowing from the Independent:
 "The cotton is opening rapidly under the infu- ence of the late lot aud cool nights that have checked the flow of sap and tended to mature the | stalk. Most Of our planter, have commenced pick ne though on most plantations, onlyth frGSl gang 1 Is, yet, employed in this way, the stronger force being enga ed the repairs oi fences, outbuidings l clearing Ian !, etc. The promise is now. with favorable fall, that this river will send out fifty ! thousand bales more than last year.''
 The Eldorado Times, in an article upon Arkansas politics, counsels harmony in the party. The Times will remember that any quarrels now existing were not of ouI seek ing, and this "sPirit of dissenson having
