Building Cisterns

Every plantation that is scarce of water can have the deficiency supplied by proper " constructed cisterns. and always have an abundance for stock and all other pur- poses. It is generally conceded that pure clStern water is more healthy and better adapted to the wants of man generally, than spring or well water, strongly sautur ated with limestone. 1 now give my method of building cisterns, and with which have uniformly been very successful.
 To build them where you have clay or gravel foundation, 1t is necessary to com mence your excavation circular, digging down about three feet perpendicular, then making an offset of eight inches around, on which to rest the arch, which must be constructed of brick, and made eight inches thck. After having determined the depth you wish it, proceed to dig about half the depth perpendicular, the balance finish up In the shape of the larger end of an egg; next proceed to turn the arch, leaving an opening in the centre about eighteen inches Tn diameter, then carefully clean the loose earth that may have fallen in 1t, and you are now ready for cementing
 Let the sand for the first coat be coarse, cleanely washed and gravelly; for the second coat, the same will do if run through a fine corn-meal seive. To prepare the cement, take two parts of sand to one part of first quality hydraulic cement, namely, Louisville, Pozondale or Roman; either will do. Be careful not to mix more at time than the plasterer can use without having to add water second time After you have first coated 1t let it stand about one week to set; after which apply the second coat If the cement is of good quality, your cisten will do to use in about two weeks after.
 Should it be necessary to blow your cistern out of rock, you must make a lining of brick or stone, being very careful to fill up all the backing with solid wall; as you value a good cistern, do not trust to pudding or ramming behind with dirt.
 l give you the following tables of sizes and capacity of csterns in barrels, each barrel containing thirty-one gallons:

Obituary.

The remains of ANNA E., infant daughter of Wm. and Anna E. Jones, who died on the steamer IS. II. Tucker" June 23d, and was buried on the wayside. were de- posted in their final earthly resting place in our cemetery on Monday 18th Decem- Der.
 We deeply sympathize with the parents, especially the mother who performs this sacred duty alone, in this second burial of lovely and beloved child, who, at the tender age of two years, presented such pro- mise of comfort and delight, as to cause her loss to be most deeply amented
 The little traveller, looking Zionward, has passed the river of life and pressed her baby footprints on the shore of eternity.e Can the bereaved parents turn aside from the path her infant steps have guided to monrn the little figure lost to view? Look beyond from the summit of the heavenly ascent she smiles, and angel, and beckons you to join her. ##

 EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 From facts recently brought to light in this community, there can be no doubt that Arkansas river was embraced, as a part of the general plan, in the Harper's Ferry in surrection. Several negroes were seized and vigorously examined, under circum- stances which precluded the possibility of communication; and so strongly did their statements corroborate each other, that most of our citizens were sufficiently arous- ed to form themselves into vigilance com mittee, for the protection of life and pro- perty.
 Their plan seems 10 have been as fol- lows: The free negroes that have just left our county, were to encamp, one part in southern Kansas, the other in western Texas; and i'll these localities wait for the slaves The latter, meanwhile, were to have every thing ready for insurrection, and in a certain night in March next, as one of the negroes said, but many think much earller, our town was to be set on fire, our citizens to-, be slaughtered, and such arms, ammunition and property were to be seized on III 5 Tt Dc uccllcu HtccSSalN, ana then Tn two divisions they were to join the free ne- groes Tn Kansas and Texas, and thus make thelr way, one part to New Mexico, the other 10 Indiana or Illinois. Whatever may be thought of the wisdom of this ar. engagement, or the possibility of it's execu- ton, one thing, we think, is tQlerabIv certain; 1t was never originated by negroes. Several iiHle circumstances, which we deem It improper to mention, taken in connection with negro testimony, go to establish, at least strong presumption, that some half dozen white men right here in our midst, are deeply implicated in this ugly affair." Their names, with other important parti cnlars, we at present, for good reasons, withhold. Should future developments. however, establish the .tact of their oom plicity, it might be prudent for these gen tlemen to look around for other and more comfortable quarters.

 MR. EDITOR: believe that Hindman's s political race is about run out. He has packed himself with so much additional weight that his tail flew up on the first back stretch. He first took upon himself the burthen Of reading private letters in his speeches; he next added the weight of the C Niator' letters; at first 1t was not known that these last mentioned weights were upon him, but attention was attracted by his swaying in the back, and hobbling gait in one of his hind legs Next "Moun- taineer'' was thrown astraddle of him; and then in every county as he passed through 1t, fresh letter was Saddled upon him; and finally all of his loahng friends, "One of the 30, |" Benton" 7" '' Astrea," etc. etc., tack ed on to him, and the poor hack staggered but when '' Gar Creek" mounted upon him, he acem ander
 There is not an intelligent gentleman in Franklin county, who does not now believe that Hindman wrote the letters of C Viator. ]" The silence of his organ and of himself carries conviction of the fact. Neither is there any doubt on the minds of the people here, (exceptlng few blind partizans) that the same head conceded and the same hand wrote that lbellous letter of C One of the 3o The correspondence between Boudi- not and Peek, and Peek's inability or un- willingness, after McKisick's denial, proves that fact also. And these facts bring home to the minds of the people that Hindmans s editors are scurgy set of tools His home organ, the State Rights Democrat, has clear ly evinced 1t by the continual change and importation of its editors His central or gan, the Old Line Democrat, exhibits it still more, That paper is conducted by a corps of imported editors, who entered upon their duties by attacking men they never knew condemning the past acts of members of the democratic party, that they necessa- rily could not possibly know anything about
 Hindman is politically dead in this part of the State he has never had much strength save in Benton and Crawford, and some what in Franklin; his supporters are leav- ing him in numbers in these counties. It is amusing to see Me rGts leaoing Me sinkinq ship. am looking out to see "Gar Creek" toting his baggage to the "tother' |" side, before long; he IS an old coon, and he will follow up the strong side, if he knows which it is.
 l should like to know if our friends, Car roll, Carter, Boone, id homnne este will con tinue to indorse Hindman after these ex- posures. They are gentlemen of nice honor and l think their self respect will compel them to drop him, however reluctantly it will be. MULBERRY.

 Sir. Having leisure and thinkinc per- haps that you and your many readers would have no serious objections to hear from this part oI the State, l have concluded to drop you few lines upon matters and things in general, as they exist here at this time. The speech has been made-the gun has been tired-the smoke and gas has cleared away--the political atmosphere seems to be clear and calm, and uponexamination there IS no dead or crippled to be found; the roaring and hollowing amounted to noth- ing; the stick rappers (some eight or ten i'll number, well distributed through the house) did what they promised to do, that is, knock at given signals, by way of mak- ing up in noise, what was lacking in other things, and seemed to go on for them very well until Judge Hanly's time for speaking come. l have never known him to acquit himself half so well. He had an easy time of it, completely demolisLing Hindman- made scores of new friends-disproved and overthrow him at every point; 1t was easy to do this, on account of Hindman's incon- slstency, he having been for and against every thing and every body. Hanly put 1t to him so tight that he soon lost his bal ance and temper-jumpe the subject. and finding Key, the editor of the Note Book not Tn the house, turned loose upon him; hey heard of 1t, sent him note; Hindman refused to recive 1t, upon the ground that hey was no gentlemen. This was a very lame dodge; what, insult a man. and when called upon for redress, tell him that he is not gentleman. Key is man of first rate standing, and if there is a gentleman in this county, the people know him to be that man; and has shown himself in all of his transactions and intercourse with ms to be gentleman in the strictest sense of the term.
 Judge Hanly would accept the nomina- nation for Congress in this district, but at the same time, he wishes it distinctly un- derstood, that he does not wish or intend to force himself upon the convention; he thinks the claims of the great northwest ought, not to be overlooked; any good de- mocrat put forth by the convention will re- ceive his cordial support. Our first choice is Hanly, he is man of known integrity and ability. and 1 presume will pass for a gentleman with most people. After him Wilson, Carroll, Cox or any other true man that the west may bring out; we are not hard to please here; so the man is true to democracy and not stranger in the

 Were l not trespassing already too much upon your space, l would be pleased to give you short synopsis of political events in our section; suffice it to say, that though now and then you may see some diseonso- late know nothings or disorganizers; still democracy Is, as usual, in the ascendant.

 Another voyager has gone ashore. The circle of jovial bachelors at Princeton, that has so long withstood the battery of eyes sparkling behind snowy Jreaa works, has at length been broken and he who was con- sldered the most untractable of all, was the first to surrender May the happy pair as they ascend the hill of life find their pathway strewn with flowers and made cheerful by the chirpings of youngsters.
 On the evening of the 10th, the friends ot Mir. Dedman rendered to him and lady q complimentary party at the :" Princeton ilotel.' Here every thing went off mer- " as marriage bell" and "eyes looked love to eyes that spoke aGain.'' All of the beauty, wit, chivalry and grace of Prinpc- ton and vicinity were out in flashing array.
 The supper furnished by Col. Holmes, the Sentlemanly proprietor of the hotel, was snmptuous indeed Goblets sparkled red with rosy wine, viands of various kinds allured the taste, while palatable substan- tlals satisfied the desires of all. We cannot close without the remark that Princeton and vicinity can just boast of as much beauty, refinement and worth as any village in Arkansas A GUEST.
