 MRssRs. EDIroRs: What will the intel ligent public of Arkansas think of man, claiming to be politician of elevated in stincts. travelling through the State and whilst trucking to those before him, who denounces and defames gentlemen behind their backs; and after his speeches are over, sits down and writes letters to the newspa- pers, commending his oaca speeches; idudatory of his oeon eloquence and giving exaggerated misrepresentation off Ais immense popu(aritW Do not be astonished at my enquiry; and I beg your readers not to confound 1t with the mere inuendoes floating about in political circles. The question points to a fact. But let me repeat my query. What will the independent :" States Right Demo- crat," the unparalleled "Old Line Demo crat," high toned Col. Hindman and his imaginary horde of admirers think of a man who would do the like? What would they say, if Col. Carroll or Col. Wilson were to be found guilty of such charlatan- ism? Would they not join me, would you not, MesSrs. Editors, also join me, in de- nouncing such a man as low unscrupu- lous iuggler, and unworthy of the respect and confidence of all parties?
 What would Mr J. W. Butler of Inde- pendence say if he was convinced that " Bidtor" that reracious correspondent of the ' State Rights Democrat" who gave such a correct and authentic account of the < berating" which Col. Hindman gave him at Batesville, is no less parsonage than the orator himself?
 There are many persons in Fayetteville who think they have conclusive proof that Col. Hindman is the writer of the several communications in the < State Rights Dem ocrat' signed 'Bidtor," chronicling the travels, speeches, and successes of himself. If it be fact that Col. Hindman is the author of these communications to his organ, lomding Aiaeself deceiving his trends at distance, by giving eXtravagant ac- counts of his success, and miSrepreSenting the state of public sentiment, he deserves the eXeeration and contempt of all honorable and high toned men, and his friends should be ashamed to look their neighbors in the face and attempt to sustain such man. What humbug and hypocritical iugler Hindman must be, if he is guilty of this charge. He ought to be summed by all decent society.
 And 1t seems, Messrs. Editors. that there is no doubt of the truth of this assertion; Col. Hindman seems to have adopted no measures to prevent the fact from leaking out. His friends in other parts of the State, seem to make no effort to conceal the act, and the few who have been his admirers. in this place, are struck dum5--they cannot defend him.
 Under this state of facts suppose we take a running glance at some of his |" commu- nications" and hear what the Hon. T. c. Hindman says of the Col. T. C. Hindman, listen to his self-laudations, and the reca- pitulation of his "trinmphs'' Writing from Cotton Plant, Aug. 27, 1859, he | opens the canvass with glowing account of his own speech at Harralson's, where he 1 had a ''decided success" and uttered against the Johsons the "most scathing piece ot sarcasm euer uHered'' by living man Jehina dn0ther's 5ack
 effort produced upon his audience, a deep l impression," and that his "sledge hammer | blows" had a terrible effect; this must have l been so, considering that the Johnsons were many leagues distant from the conflict In his letter of the 1st September, Col | Hindman says he convinced the people ot Prairie county that he was not "disor. l ganizer," traitor" etc., etc.; and that at West Point, he exhibited himself to the ladies, and was exceedingly gallant and acquitted himself with great credit" This important fact, the gallant Colonel testiies to in his own behalf In the same letter, speaking of himself, the Colonel says hi; speech twas rece;ped agiM enthusiasm, anc plaudits after plaudits went up in succession from the audience'' as incense to his delight ed ollactories.
 Now Mcssrs. Editors, can there any lon ger be doubt as to Col. Hindman's 6 decid ed success" that his speeches were :" more scathing' and that they made deep i'm pression'' wherever they were delivered.- That he struck ge-hammer blows against the Johnsons, annihilated this unfortunate family by his eloquence? Has not Col. Hindman acritten these facts himself, and 1 of himseL? And does it not strike you at the same time, as very singular, that with the immense number of his friends, Col. Hindman is left to be chronicler of his own deeds, to sing his own praise, to trumpet he glory of his oaon heroic deedsy B. R.
