 "Allen A. Hall is associated in the editorial staff of the Nashville News, which hoists the opposition hag-otherwise the black republican"
 We commend this to the serious atten- tion of the Camden Herald.
 The Thirty Fifth Parallel states that nearly all the bridges on the ' Beale route !" to New Mexico are finished. Trains can go to Albuquerque, without detention by high water The Parallel gives the ex- speaker some deserved hard licks. What If we should tell the Parallel that the per diem leaders did not intend to take the nlnety-six dollars, but their game was dis covered and they forced to jump into the pit! Week after next, we may have a communication which will throw some light on ths subject. The Parallel hurls back the slanderous charge of being collar man. That thing is about played out These dis organizers require their followers to work like slaves, to father lies and become their tools. And If a man Is independent they try to bully hlm by telling him he dare not do as they want him to- The following is from the Parallel:
 "We understand that Col. Rust is not a cand- date for reelection to Congress. If this report is l reliable, then we are for clever gentleman, who mas long been looked upon as d suitable represen- tative for this district. We refer to Charley Mitchell No better democrat can be found, than Charley. He has all the other requisites to qualify him for the high postion.''
 A correspondent of the Van Buren Press, writing from Fayetteville, has the following on the subject of the next governor:
 The gossip in political circles embraces the subject of Governor making as well as that of Con- gressonal nominations. The presentation of the name of Judge Fletcher for the office of Governor, has started that subject. Gov. Mitchell was here during the summer; he also visited Benton, Mad- son and believe Carroll. He has many warm friends, but none ot them appear to be enthusiast caliy sangulne. Efforts were made by the Arkan- | sIan, two or three months since to bring forward hls nalne but 1t was "dead failure" and the thing fell through. Although Judge Fletcher is | not personally known to great many persons in thls county. yet as he is known by character very generally; and Is regarded a reliable democrat, talented and merltorous, and by those to whom he Is personally known as gentleman and scholar, an active party is growing up in his behalf"
 The Batesville Democratic Sentinel has an article on Viator, alias Hindman, showing him up in his true colors, his tac- ties and who are his friends. But the Seminal. we are informed, has some facts Tn reServe-some proofs too that will open the eyes of the people to the true character of the Helena demagogue We want to see, after these things are proven, as they will be, if there can be found ony democrat who will defend IIindman's course and conduct. We shall see.
 The following is from the Pocahontas Advertiser:
 GLAND BUYERs.-Never since the recollection of our oldest inhabitants, has there been so many land buyers visiting this county. Many of them too, We are glad to see are investing in our lands with view of settling on them. We believe from the best information We get, that there has been more land sold to actual settlers in Ram do!ph county, during the past twelve months than m any other county in this State; and that too at better prices. At the sales of the Su get lands in this place, on last Monday, about fifteen thousand dollars worth Of those lands were disposed ol at prlces ranging from six to eight dollars per acre"
 1t Is astonishing to see the rush for lands here. A few years ago lands were of lered at a dollar an acre that now sell readily at ten dollars. Lands that were supposed to be too wet to be tillablo; prarie lands that were supposed to be almost vauless,  even piny wood lands that a few years ago people would not agree to take as gift if required to pay taxes thereon, are now eager y sought after The purchasers are not spectators, but actual settlers, farmers and planters. One company, we are told, IS about to establish large nursery, in one ot the eastern counties, some are look ing for sheep farms, others for good orchard place and all want homes. Nine out of ten are from the southern states and many of them slave owners We are pre- pairing a table to show, as nearly as it can be done, the number of acres of vacant land in each county in this State. Some sta tistics to be published soon will show most gratifying rate of progress and in crease Tn our population and wealth.
 The following from the Advertiser is charitable and worthy of action upon it. The matter will be pressed upon the atten- ton ot Congress at an early period in the session. We would like to amend the Advertisers proposition by raising fund to educate these childrcn-say sufficient to pay their board and tuition at some of our best schools and colleges. It can be done and if Congress appropriates any sum, that will be a start in life for the boys or marriage portion for the girls.
 "MouNTMN MEADOW ORpHANs-We see that some of our State papers are urging that the Nor mons should be made to pay them heavy dana. ges for their suilerings The same papers also re- comment, that in of failure in this way that Congress should be requested to appropriate some. thing for their relief We like the object for which such writers are working but think the means they strike at for relief is too far oH-it woud ha too long coming. Cannot every county in the State raise private subscription for the relief of these poor orphan children. A small amount from l all flowing to one center, would be an amount snf ncient to be of considerable benefit to objects for winch we now writc-enough, at least to answer thelr demands, until assistance from the best of the two first mentioned ways could be realized Come fellow citizens of this and adjoining counties. you could not bestow charity upon more needy and worthy objects than these poor orphan children. who have lately escaped from their captors. and returned to their native homes in our own State ,,
 The Randolph Herald says that at the sale of the Surget lands, 1,S49 acres sold for S1l, ,OOs. This was astonishinplv low as they are, some of them, the finest lands in the world and situated on stream. the navigation of which is actually better than that of the Mississippi. In ten years from now these lands will sell at fifty dollars an acre.
 This is from the Brownsville Echo:
 PRAIRIE COUNTY FILLING UP.-The emipration from east of the Mississippi into Arkansas and Texas, Is certainly double or treble that of any former year. And still they come. We are glad to see this, although we apprehend that Texas is getting the larger portion. Still, as far as our county IS concerned, we cannot complain. New l
