H- The Batesville Balance devotes a couple of columns to us and the public printing. He is very incredulous, turns up his nose and ejaculates ''humbug ''-"can' t fool us," and puts on knowing airs. An Arkansas Joey Bagstock is the editor of the Balance.
 "And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew"
 We are surprised to see the Balance so active when the leader of the allies has stamped his foot and ordered him to be si- lent. We like Kcnnard's spunk, and hope he will continue, and when they are all done on that subject we will show the fal- sity and absurdity of their charges in a very short mode. Let them run for the present till they furnish us rope enough to hang them with

CORRECTION We were mistaken last week in stating that the rate of State tax had been reduced to tenth of one per cent. We learn that on the last day of the session the bill was presented to the Governor, but was not approved by him. The rate of taxation, therefore, remains at one-sixth of one per centum. We call at tention of clerks and sheriffs to this for fear our former statement may lead to errors in making out the tax-books

EDlroRs TRUE DEMocRAT.-Can you in form the people of the cause of the conti- nued lrregularity of the mails. Your pa per, due here on Friday last, has not yet been received.
 We are about as long now in receiving our letters and papers, from beyond the linn its of the State, as we were when we had A mail but once a week. Our stages arrive daily with no mails. Clearly our daily lines, therefore, fail to afford the facilities designed by them. Where is our mail agent? Cannot he correct this evil so un. justly inflicted upon us?
 Respectfully,

MAns.-We give below letter from Gen. Royston on the subject of mail fai- lures. From every quarter complaints pour in upon us, and we hope those who have the authority will take the matter in hand
 Nominally we are blessed with great mail facilities, but in fact we are cursed with great mail failures, and that continu- a1ly.

v RIvER-STEAMER ARKANsAw BuRNED.- There are about seven feet water in the chan mel ahd falling So far, this season, the navigation has been generally good As will be seen by our steamboat register, a large number of boats are engaged in di- rect trade with Cincinnati, Memphis, New Orleans, and the various ports on our own river.
 We regret to hear of the destruction, by fire, of the steamer Arkansaw, at Mir. J B. Johnson's landing, in this river, on Sat urday last. There were about fifteen hun dred bales of cotton on the boat, the lar gest portion of which was shipped from above this point. There is but little doubt that the boat and cargo is total loss.
 We learn the above facts from passen. gers and the officers of the Jennie Whip pie. The boat was owned, we believe, by the Messrs. Bennett & Perry. We are not advised whether the boat was insured or not

Ir WoS'r Dove quote from the
New Haven Register:
'Somc of Tie Republican papers, in
alIuding to the structures of the Demo
cratic press on the 'irrepressible conflict
speech of VIM. ii. Seward, undertake
to explain away the force of the Ian
guage; while others frankly admit that
the expression was a 'vcry unfortunate
one for him. There is no use in trying
to paddle Oft in this matter. The cir
cumstances under which the speech was
made indicate clearly the purport of it,
even were the language less explicit
Morgan was running as the Black Re-
publican candidate tor Governor in New
York, and Gerritt Smith was in nomi-
nation as the candidate OF the radical
| Abolitionists. The former feared that a
persistence on the part Of Smiths friends
to adhere to him would defeat Morgan,
and SO Seward undertook the task OF
bidding for their support. To this end
he stole Garrison's idea of the 'irrcpres-
siblc conflict and pledged his party to
it. The result was what was desired
Before this infamous speech was made,
the vote for Smith was estimated at
4O,OOO-he received less than 4,OOO.-
These are the facts, aud they afford
abundant explanatory notes, if any are
needed, of Stewards Rochester speech
But Garrison Challenges popular admir-,
alton by the side of Seward, for Will,
the latter meanlv seeks to dodge the re
sponsibility of his doctrines, the former
stands I'D to his treason like a man."

John Brown, the Harper's Ferry crimi-

Beecher is content with nothing short

Beechcr, Ike Iov. Banks, seems 10
regard success a duty hence he tells his
audiences that John Brown il nearer
becoming a hero than any other man

was anything which the North more

only comes neur To being hero, with.

he succeeded in inducing the savcs 10
arm against their masters, to murder
and outrage those u whom they have
hitherto looked for protection and snip
port, he would, no doubt, in the eyes oi
Bcecher d Co., have been real hero, il
not a saint, in the estimation Of tina,
