Immense Sale of Town Lots in Hopefeld,
 Arkansas.

'HE trustees for the Memphis and Hopefeld Real Estate Association have determined to sell out the lands and close up the business of said company, and will, on the l2th day of April, 1859, sell out the town of Hopefeld, in lots at public auction, to the highest bidder
 Hopeheid is destined to be one among the great cites of the west, situated, as it is, opposite the city of Memphis, Tenn, on the western bank of the great Mississippi river at the eastern terminus oi the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, the only railroad ln operation between St. Louis and New Orleans that penetrates the Great World west of the Mlsslssppl river, and the road which will in a few years csnnect Hopefeld with the Pacific Ocean, and the southern terminus of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad. Beng backed by the richest country in the world, now so rapidly being opened and put into useful cultivation the propre- tors deem It unnecessary for them to say word to show to the public that Hopefeld is bound to be the emporium where the commerce of the great wes- tern world will center
 The trustees will also sell all the lands belong ing to sad company consisting of about 000 acres within few miles of Memphis

Mr.. jefferson.

Hon. VIM. L. Yancey, distinguished
democrat of Alabama, has recently written
a letter, in which he attributes the origin
of slavery agitation in this country to Mr..
jefferson. We make the following ex-
tract from it:
"Exceedingly loose, and indeed uncon-
stitutional, IDEAS on the subject of slavery,
early crept into the public mind. Wild,
impracticable, and false notions, as to the
equality of the human race, got abroad
both here and in Europe. The world had
so long been pressed down under the
weight of absolute despotism, that the
rebound of opinion went far beyond the
line of truth; and the error, starting in
France swept across the Atlantic, and for
IA time unsettled, even here, the well-bal-
anced principles of our Constitution, and
the opinions of some of our greatest
statesmen. From this source Mr.. Jetier-
son became ip,bYea with the spirit OF
slavery emancipation; and under his
powerful influence this mental poison
spread through ourpolitical sphere, while
under the still stronger influence of sew
eral mighty preachers of the gospel, il
became creed of our religion that sla
very was a moral leprosy fastened upon
the land"

DEATm.-rhe article on death" in the
New Cyclopedia has the following:

Gas life approaches extinction, insensi-
bility supervenes-a numbness and dispo-
ton to repose, which do not admit of the
idea of suffering. Even in those cases
where the activity of the mind remains to
the last, and where nervous sensibility
would seem to continue, it is surprising
how often there has been observed state
of happy feeling on the approach ofdeath.
If / had strength enough to hold pen.
| would write how easy and delightful it
is to die, were the last words of the cele-
brated VIM. Hunter, during his last mo-
ments.
Montague, in one of his essays, de-
scribes am accident which left him so
senseless that he was taken up for dead.
On being restored, however, he says: Me
thought my life only hung upon my lips:
and | shut my eyes to help thrust it out
and took pleasure in languishing and
letting myself CO. A writer in the Quar-
terly Review records that gentleman
who had been rescued from drowning de-
clared that he had not experienced the
slightest feeling of suifocation. The
fstream was transparent, the day brilliant,
and as he stood upright lie could see the
sun shining through the water, with n
dreamy consciousness that his eyes were
about to be closed ON it forever. Yet he
neither feared his fate or wished to avert
it. A sleepy sensation, which soothed and
gratified him, made a luxurious bed of IL
watery grave.

The GREAT BATTLE AT CuARLEsroN-A
DOUGLAS BoDY-GUARD OF %, 900 MEN-Some
time ago we copied from the Buffalo Re
public, a letter from its Washington cor
respondent, intimating that the fire-eaters
of Charleston would mob Douglas and his
friends, at the great Convention in 1860.
The following extract from letter from
Milwaukee to the Charleston News would
seem to indicate that the Douglas clans
are marshalng for the struggle in more
senses than one:
Wisconsin will send delegation of five
hundred of her Democratic sons to ac-
company the delegates of the State Con-
vention to be chosen next month. These
five hundred are all Douglas Democrats.
Minnesota sends delegation of three
hundred Douglas men. Michigan eight
hundred, Iowa five hundred. Ohio one
thousand, Illinois fifteen hundred. Penn
sylvania one thousand New York one
thousand, and nearly all the New England
States one thousand each. This Is se-
cret plan; and it is understood tfiat Doug
las will have at least twenty thousand
friends in Charleston during the Conven-
ton.

"NoT CANDIDATE. Mr.. Buchanan,
in his recent Bedford letter, stated that
he would not under any circumstances be
candidate for denomination at the
Charleston Convention; he felt called up
OH to say so thus early, that his future
conduct might not be imputed to any
such desire on his part. On the 10th
inst, Dodge, of Indiana, was dismissed
from clerkship in the Pension office,
and, upon applying to the Secretary of
the Interior to know the cause, was in
formed that he (Dodge) was suspected of
being opposed to Mr.. Buchanan, and in ia
vor of TIE nominat n of Mr.. Douglas.
If Mr.. Buchanan is not candidate,
why does he prescribe all men who are
not in favor OF his renomination.-CH;ca

With these projectiles, he infosms us that

RIDING on THE Cow .CNTcHER.-Since
Willis description of his cow-catcher en-
plot on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, many fool-hardy passengers have
solicited the conductors on that great
thoroughfare to allow them to try the
sensation. A day or two since, a lady
and gentleman iqsisted upon taking a
jaunt ON the cow-catcher of train com
ing west. Their request was granted at
last, and the train being slightly behind
time, they were carried along in this un-
protected way at the rate of tifty-five
miles an hour. When relieved from
their position, they could not have been
persuaded to try the sensation a second
time. The train had not gone two miles
further, when the pilot struck COW and
shouldered it. If the passengers had con-
tinued to occupy their situation, they
must have been killed. Wheeling HaelG-
gencer, Aug. II.

The Douglas democrats Where are
They to COP

In the next House of Representatives
at Washington there will be some nine of
those political curiosites classed as Doug
las democrats, pr anti-Lecompton demo-
Gratis. The question is how will they act
and vote in the organization of the House
i'm the election for Speaker, Clerk and
Public Printer, If they cast their weight
into the same scple with the republicans
the organization will be entirely republi-
can. If mindful of their origin, they
give their support to the democratic can
didatcs, then it would puzzle an ancient
soethsaycr or nbJderh spiritual medium
to predict how t,SSght will go.
This is a ticl position in which
Messrs. Clark q York, Haskin of
wcstchcster, 3sefs New Jersey,
Hickman of p, q. y;a, and their fell
lows find theinsafs es.N # they, who were
elected principally by republican votes,
vote for the democratic candidates, they
will be giving aid and coumtenance to the
enemy. If they vote for the republican
candidates, there will be no longer the
ghost of a chance for their leader at
the Charleston Convention. Mr.. Doug
las would be politically, if not physically,
kicked of doors. This is decidedly
awkward position for the anti-Lecompton
democrats, who may well chorus with the
inconsistent Captain Macheath in the
"Beggars' Opera:v-
How happy could lie with either,
Were tothcr dear ehurmsr away.
We have sympathetic fear that the
Douglas democrats will realize the pro-
verbal dnnger of getting between two
stools, and thereby coming to the ground.
Their course is an interesting problem in
politics, which time alone can solve.
