The editor of the Germantown Independent,
does not seem to know that the "straggers'
he saw in the diminishing affair at Camp Quit
man. we're regularly deployed skirmishers, sup
posed Of course, to be supported by reserves
nor does he seem to know that such "stragglers
are not thrown out behind a body Of troops
unless the rear is threatened.
The affair alluded to, was reconnoisance
supported by "false attack" This attack was
made for the purpose of inducing Colonel Ernst
to display his whole force. But that officer
suspecting the object, repelled skirmishers by
skirmishers, and Col. Kings reconnaissance
failed. Col. Ernst's reserves were supposed ITO
oe kept at rest in the centre" to act whenever
and wherever necessary.
The idea and object of the movements were
perfectly understood by the troops engaged.

Camp Quitman.

The light Guards of Mismisburg, with -four
other companies, principally ofDayton. encamp-
ed about mile north of Dayton for three days,
last week. We were on the grounds on Friday,
when sham fight took place, in which Capt.
Clay captured Major Parrott, We presume
"Ned" is holding up for the great race which
is to come off between the two on the second
Tuesday 10 October, when we hope he will have
better luck Quite number Of the people were
on the ground, and all seemed to enjoy them>
selves exceedingly.
While we were present, one man was acs
cidentally hurt with the bayonet, Just above
the eye, md he may congratulate himself that
the eye itself was not put out.
II seems to us that the lines were too much
extended for the number of troops present
their appearance being more that Of stragglers
behind any army than that Of regular troops,
Without pretensions TO much military know
ledge, common sense would dictate, that il a
battalion is to defend forty acre lot, without
knowing from what quarter the enemy may
come, that they should push their outposts a
few rods beyond the lot, while the body Of the
troops should be kept at rest in the center so as
to be equisdistant from all sides Instead Of
this the troops were scattered over the entire
grounds, and chased forward and backward by
each succeeding alarm, and would have fallen
an easy prey TO a sudden, well directed attack.

The Journal Il endeavoring to create the i'm
preston that "Mr. Shideler voted in opposition
to the foreign born, /" when Il knows very well
that it isunlue. Thislsa specimen Of its un-
fairness, and at the same time Of ils desperate
condition. Mr., Shideler voted to lay on the
table two resolutions gotten up by certain dem
agogues for the sole pqrpOse Of breaking the
force ofthe Know Nothing persecution Of for
eigners. (lhe journal editor being high priest
among the X, Ms at the time, and daily shout
ing "down with the foreieners.'O The resolu
tions were utter bosh, and all the Senators who
were not hopeless demagogues, voted with Mr.
Shideer, not because they were "down on"
foreigners, but because they were nauseated
with the olap>trap of the demagogues offering
them. No one is better aware Of this than the
editor Of the Journal, and he knows we speak
the truth. He must be "run 10 the girth" for
something with which to slur Mr.. Shideler,
when he attempts to make the impression that
in voting to dispose Of these "bunkum" resolu'
tions as be did, he voted against the "foregn
born This unfair course Of our neighbor is
the more reprehensible, as be must be aware
that at the time these boshy resolutions were
stuck in the face Of honorable Senators, foreign
born citizens already had the right TO vote in
Kansas, and that it was not sought to deprive
them of the right except by the Journal editor
and his spread-eagle party. We hope TO hear
no more Of "Mr. shidelers opposition to the
foreign born" from one who exhausted himself
in vain efforts to deprive them Of the just and
natural rights Of freemen, anh'place them on
pur with negroes The impertinence of our
neighbor is amazing; it almost surpasses his
undying hatred to the foreign born, which be
is at present slightly smotherng. for the sake of
the negroes.
While these demagogues were attempting to
eu act this farce in the Ohio Legislature, for
the purpose Of diverting the attention of the
people from Massachusetts, the Republicans in
the Legislature Of that State we're solemn!y en-
gagged in enactirg an amendment to their con.
stitution prohibiting foreigners from the prvi.
lege of voting, for the period Of two years after
naturalization, while they permit negroes to
vote who have only been in the state one day.
The Journal was in favor of that amendment
its penny whistle never sounding a single blast
in condemnation Of the measure Jhe Journal
arraign Mr.. Shideler What impudencel Its
silly bleating will deceive no oos-the trick is
too bald, and its motive too apparent.

From the Van Buren Intelligencel Col. Hindman's Appointments.

Col. Hindman has thrown out a set of appointments at an unusual season, and un- der the most uncaled for circumstances - We have no elections this year; we do not even hold conventions or primary meetings. Whence the necessity of this erciting con- voss2 Not content with announcing his appointments, his friends, (no doubt at his instigation, are endeavoring to get up bar becues as an attraction to the people Col. II. canvassed the district more than once already to secure his nomination; and he has again commenced another canvass before he has taken his seat. Such course was never resorted to by our members of Con- gress before Johnson, Greenwood. Rust and Warren, have each been elected to Congress, and each have gone decently and quiety to the discharge of their duties with out deeming 1t necessary to the establish ment ot their prestige, to commence war upon all the other democratic officials and leaders. As good democrats they were guiltless of waging a war upon the party which elevated them to their high positions
 Does Col. Hindman expect the indorse ment and approval of the democratic part, after such conduct, and while his hands ar yet reeking with assaults upon so many our best democrats? Certainly not Ifh does fatter himself with such unctious e, pectations he will be most wofully disar pointed.
 Does the Colonel expect the speckled of position to take him up and with the aid f his band of disorganizers, re-elect him? if he does, he certainly does not understall human nature. Does he think his abue of good democrats, of the party in its C. ganization, will secure the support of te opposition, he will be equally as much d. appointed. The opposition have in this d. trict hundreds of men whom they dem have superior merit to Col. H. Men Mo have denounced the democracy of Arka- sas as much as Col. Hindman has ever e. nounced them; and who were more iustia- ble because of their professions. They po- fessed to be whigs, and the opposition an trust in their honesty, but, however mch they may like Col. Hindman' treason thv will not trust him.
 The opposition in this district have amng theh SUCH men as Jesse Turner, Juge Walker, Col. Anderson, who have grrvn grey in their iniquitous war upon thele- mocracy of Arkansas. They have denonc- ed Conway, Sebastian, Johnson, the True Democrat and everything else that wasrue to the democratic party, as much as 'ol. Hindman ever did, and who claimed the same time to be honest whigs, opposd to the democracy, and professed to be nohing else. When the opposition put up aman to receive their suffrages they will pt up one of these men.
 Col. Hindman cannot expect any lnge, the support of the democracy, and ned nos

Ess- The Little Rock True Democrot and Batesvile Sentinel and other democratic JonlnaIS in this State are doing the demo- crats of Phillips county injustice. It is not intentional on their part but for the want of proper information. They contn- ue to call the meeting that was held in this city ill May last as the action of the de- mocracy ol Phillips county. It was not a meeting of the democratic party; it was simply promiscuous crowd assembled to to hear speech against the regular demo- cratic party and its abest and most faithful leaders; and after coming together thus without any intimation that there was in contemplation democratic meeting Col. Hlndman and his friends resolved them selves into a so called democratic meeting. Although there were present more than a hundred persons, yet only about thirty or forty took any part in it, and were there as simple lookcrs-on. The State Rights De- mocrat gased and blowed over it as if it were all a reality, and the then editor was doing his best to serve his master and did not scruple to deviate from the truth.
 In fact there was no call for democratic meeting, and even after those wonderfully strange and anti-demacratic resolutions were produced to the astonishment of eve rybody except Col. Hindman and his sate- lltes Tn an half hours time sutficient'num- Der of democrats could have been assembled from the streets to have voted down every one of their resolutins. We hope those papers will not call it meeting of the de- mocrats of Phillips county, for they have not deserted their principles and taken up for the lniputy or taking per diem; neither are they opposed to Judge Sebastian; nor have they lost their faith in the True De- mocrat and support the one idea one man old hne democrat. If the candidates were nominated on those resolutions next week, and the democrats were to bring out sepa- rate ticket, the democratic ticket would be elected by an overwhelming majority. We honestly believe that two thirds of the people of Phillips county condemn those resolutions and oppose the faction that pass ed them.-Hetena Note- Book

Its inhabitants hail from almost every cline, speak almost every language and follow almost every avocation in life
 / There are, 1t is said, at this date, more than l 400 houses in course of erection in this city. Some of them would do honor to Broadway or Chestnut street. The squares burnt out last winter, have been mostly re- built, the new houses being by far superior to those that were burnt. The "Overton House" is under headway. It will be of vast dimensions, and its architecture of the latest and most approved character.

SEVERE PENALTY FOR KISSING PRETTY WoMAN.-A curious trial was recently held at Middlesex Sessions, in England. Thos Saverland, the prosecutor, stated that he was in the room when the defendant, Caro- line Newton, and her sister, who had come from Birmingham were present.
 The latter jokingly observed that she had promsed her sweetheart that no man should kiss her while he was absent. tbeing holi. day-time Saverland considered this as a chal lenge, and caught hold of her and kissed her. The young woman took itas joke, but her sister, the defendant said she would like as little of that fun as he pleased. Saverland told her if she was angry he would kiss her also; he then tried to do it, and they fell to the ground. On rising the woman struck him; he again tried to kiss her, and in the scufflc she bit off his nose. The action was brought to recover damages for the loss of the nose. The defendant said he had no business to kiss her; if she wanted kissing she had husband to kiss her-a better looking man than ever the prosecutor was. The jury, without hesitation, acquitted her; and the chairman said that if any man at- tempted to kiss a woman against her will she had perfect right to bite off his nose, if she had fancy for so doing.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-09-21

ORIGIN OF PUNCTUATIoN.-Wr Written let ters were at first not divided into words, but In ancient inscriptions whole sentences form one continuous series.
 It was at a much later period than is commonly y imagined, that dots, or similar marks, were first employed to part senten- ces and words from each other; to leave an open space between them is comparatively modern improvement. Marks of punctua- tlon, also, remained unknown until the time of the Alexandrian grammarian, and es- pecially Aristodhanes of Byzanz, and the Masoretes in Hebrew writings. Even then, however, they were only used as an aid in books of instruction. and neither the Goth, nor the Coptic, much less the Northern Runes, ever knew their use.
 The order in which the lines of written letters are arranged, has varied considera- ply. Among the ancients, the direction from the right to the left prevailed general ly; modern writing follows the opposite direction. The Chimes and Japanese place their words, not side by side, but under each other, and arrange the perpendicular col umns from the right to the left; Greek, Eastern Indian. and Runic writing is hori- zontal, but begins also at the right The oldest writing is 'Boustrephedon," com bining both directions, and so called from its resemblance to the movements of a blow.

ITEMS FOR Mas. STowE-When a case ot cruel treatment of slave by his master occurs, the abolitionists publish and repub- llsh 1t with comments, and gloat over it as proof of the cruelty of the system. We could collect a volume of instances of cruel treatment of white slaves, and as an in stance give the two following:
 FEMALE SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.-A fe- male domestic in England lately gave mo- tice to her master that she was about 10 leave him to be married. Her master re- fused to accept her notice, but in spite of his refusal she went off and got married .- The master then obtained the services of an officer, who arrested the delinquent and car red her before a magistrate. The officer sentenced her to pay a fine of fl and to return to the service of her master, and the sentence was put in immediate execution"
 At the north the poor orphans suffer cru cities that southern slaves can form no idea of. No wonder they try to escape from it, the boys forced to beg or pilfer and the girls to prostitution. Here is the account of the tender mercies of an amiable mistress of white slave:
 The Providence { R. l. Post of a re- cent date has an account of such nhuman treatment of Miss Vallett, by the wife of Ebenezer Scarborough, of Hampton. Connecticut, that it is almost too diabolicaI to be believed. Miss Vallett is sixteen years of age, the daughter of Providence mechanic, widower, who, having no house for'his daughter, permitted her to be- come the inmate of tho Scarborough man. sion. Some five months since she was at tackled with erysipelas in the head, since which time she has been made the victim ot the most shocking brutality inflicted by Mrs. Scarborough. That amable woman has beaten, bruised, cut, gashed, kicked, culied and frequently knocked down the poor sick girl, and continued this treatment througha period of five months She cut her across the face with carving knife, gashed her head with a skillet, and other wise abused her in the most inhuman man. ner She received no medical treatment whatever for her disease or wounds. Mr. Vallett intends Ito prosecute Mrs. Scar borough for her outrageous treatment of his daughter, and try if the court will not pun ish such brutality'
