THE COUNTY.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR Of
fcer has returned to Nevada, and an
nounces that he can and will make ey-
erything right.
The following items are gathered from
the Democrat:
The DISTRICT Court has been en-
gagged the most of the week in trying
two suits against Nc Keeby & Co., for
damages to mining claims. The jury,
in both cases found verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. The case of Kelsey U.s. Alb
bolt, which was supposed to involve the
legality of tax titles, was decided for the
plaintiff on other grounds. Another
case, that of Lachman Us. Clark, now
pending before the Court, will probably
settle the question as to whether proper
ty can be sold for taxes.
A large box stove was blown up in
the Reveiile Saloon, Broad street, during
philosophical attempt to clear the pipe
OF SCOT by means of gunpowder One
man Rugged the pipe, and another held
the door shut: all went off together.
BANK BLASTING has been successfully
tried at Liberty Hill, Little York town
ship. Folks around thought there was an
earthquake and the women were nearly
frightened out of their wits.
The BURNS FESTIVAL came off in
good style at the Hotel de Paris, Nevada.
Posi- MASTER CRENsHAw has gone
east, by the southern overland route, on
four months visit.
ACCIDENT Washington Filkins was
severely injured by the premature ex-
plosion Of a blast at Liberty Hill.

MURDER SUsPECTED.-Considerable
excitement has been occasioned at North
Bloomfield and vicinity by the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Mr.. Michael Per-
fumo, an italian merchant of Humbug,
who left that place on the 10th inst.
with the intention of going to Marys-
vile, and has not since been heard from.
He was accompanied by fine large
Newfoundland dog, and the discovery of
his dog in wounded condition, by some
parties near French Corral, few DAYS
ago, first led to the suspicion that Mr..
Perfume had been murdered. Diligent
search has been had, and telegraphic
messages of enquiry have been sent to
all the principal places in the State,
without eliciting any intelligence.
The dog had evidently been shot, and
it is feared his master has met his death
at the hands of highwaymen. 1t is the
intention as soon as the dog is sufficient
ly recovered, to proceed with him along
the road, as it is thought his proceed
ings may lead to some clue to the fate
of the missing man.
Mr.. Perfumes wife, who has the care
of two children on her hands, and is in
very critical condition, is overwhelmed
by sorrow and anxiety.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-The house be-
longing to Mr.. Arnold, called the Mag
nolia"-formerly Bells Ranch-situa-
ted about two miles this side of Hum
bug, was entirely consumed by fire on
Sunday night last. It was large fine
house, but recently finished, and could
not have cost less than five or six thous-
and dollars. The inmates, twenty or
thirty in number, were aroused by the
neighors, and had barely time to escape
with life. Nothing Of consequence was
saved, though fortunately an adjoining
barn, in which there was a number of
horses and considerable stock of feed,
was preserved from conhagration. Mr..
Arnold is already engaged in the con-
struction of another tenement, and we
understand ball is to be given for his
relief He will doubtless dispose of a
large number of tickets, as the sympathy
with his severe misfortune is general.

Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-11-16
Hon. Isaac Toucev.

It is with pleasure, we submit to our readers the communication, on the sub;ect of the next Presidency, from the pen of one of our oldest citizens, an ardent democrat and true Southerner
 Our correspondent urges the great mer- 1t and high claims, to the Presidency of Hon. Isaac Toucey, that sterling old New England Democrat, who has so often faced the enemies of democracy, where antislavery and hostility to the rights of the Slave States, are almost the sentiments of the people. Secratary Toucey is one of the bright shining stars of democracy in the East; and when the light of other promi- nent democratic leaders, in the trying time of the passage of the Kansas Nebraska act paled before the dark cloud of abolition ism, the orthodoxy ofMr. Touncey and his colleague, Hon. Colin M Ingersoll, were the pillars of light that led the democracy of New England, and sustained them in the true faith.
 MT. Toucey's high order of talents and great political experience, eminently quail fy him for the exalted station ofPresident. His labors in the Senate and Cabinet bear testimony to his fine practical qualifca- tons, and are guarantee for the manner Tn which he would discharge the duties of that high and responsible office.-N Nan. Buren Frees.

Hot Spring County, Oct. 29th, 1859.

MT. EDIToR-I write you as an assurance to our party at large of the lasting fidelity of Hot Spring, now as ever; unshaken and firm; though the dig gun of opposition has even turned its muzzle this way, and belches forth its fire weekly (weakly) upon our devoted heads, in the shape of some half dozen "Old Liners," who look poor things when they arrive; as if they thought "they'd missed their way and wasn't welcome nohow." Still they are circulated freely from hand to hand; every man anxious to see the huge engine, which is to crush at one fell blow, the noblest work of mortals; conceived where liberty first dawned upon our native land; matured by her noblest sons; grown with her growth, and now in its might and strength; known as union. But its retrograde movement is swifter than It's advance; and l predict a "splendid taalure," though their will is strong. see they have quite number of agents scat tered over our State, and not one in Hot Spring; for fear they have overlooked the recognized leader of the opposition and dis organizing banl in this county, the last opposition candidate for representative. Gen. Ross, l suggest to them the proprietv of this appointment, as agent, etc., in this county. lie is man after their own hearts; in his own words. "he is opposed to demo- crat and .tor anything else" No fear guess of their disowning him.
 No excitement here in relation to the coming conventions; we wait the result calml V; husbanding our energies for the contest afterwards and we intend to go sthe whole hog" though its head be Douglas.
 We have noticed with pleasure in late communication, the name of Chas. B. Mitchell of Hampstead, mentioned in con- nt ion with the next U. s. Representative. Such a choice would not only meet the wishes, but the dearest expectations of the democracy here. He is an old citizen of Arkansas, and older democrat; true to his party and devoted to his State; an orator and statesman, with untarnished political cscutcheon. One who'd fight noble and successful fight in our next canvass: doing honor to himself, to his party and to his State; gentleman of unimpeachable char acter, and Tn short quailhed and deserv- ing man.
 l remain yours, etc. K

For the True Democrat.
Hon. Alfred M. Wilson.

Nol. Hlndman's recent tour through the flrst congressional district, has excited, pro- bably earlier than would have otherwise been the case, a discussion on the merits and claims of various prominent democratic gentlemen to congressional honors, nert to be conferred in this district
 It is evident that there exists very gen. eral feeling among the democracy, to ignore the pretentions of Col. H. His unusual oourSe, of travelling over the State. de- nouncing democrats and sowing broadcast his pestlIentlal and disorganizing calum- nies; bold and unblushing propositions to : crush" some of the most honored mem bers Of the democratic party, and thereby, to dismember it, has brought upon him al- most a universal condemnation ofthe party. Under these circumstances, Col Hindman's $ friends will hardly attempt to procure his e-nomlnatlon, and were they so far deceiv- ed as to make the attempt it would be q certain failure
 The northern and western counties have determined to present gentleman for the next congressional nomination. relying up- on the lii C aity and justice of their friends in other parts of the district for cordial sup port. Col ALFRED N. WILSON of Wash ington county, is their choice He is per sonally and tavorably known throue bout this whole region--his popularity is pro. verbal, and his friends are warm and ac- tiye-his long residence among us, his con stant, unwavering and consistent democracy have secured him strong place in the af- fcctlons of the democratic party-his unsur- passed business qualifications, and consid- crate attention to the interests of he State commend him to the high position which his friends propose for him.
 Without claiming of our brethren in other parts of the State, a concession to us of the next member of Congress, we enter tam sanguine hopes that they will unite with us and confer upon Col. Wilson the nomination of the Dover convention, and in return we will bring to the polls at the next election the largest vote that has ever been cast for democratic nominee in this district
 The counties of the north and west will be united in the next convention, whose delegates will be instructed to use untiring exertions to secure the nomination of their favorite. Col. Wilson has not gone be- yond a modest and dignifed course to se- cure his nomination; he has not clamorous- ly sought 1t, and will not wage a war upon democrats If the party does not appreciate his claims. but will give the nominee his warmest support.
 We place the name of Col. Wilson be- fore the democracy of the first district, for their favorable consideration, with our pledged assurances, that whatever may be the result of their consideration, to yield hearty and cordial cooperation in securing the success of the next flag bearer of the party.
