SETTLEMENT OF THE YELL TOWNSHIP DlFFI-
cULrIEs.-We are glad to be able to inform our
readers that the recent difficulties between par.
ties in Yell Township have been brought to .
peaceable and happy termination. Some twenty
three persons were arrested for taking part in
the ls~less proceedings by which one man was
killed and two others wounded, but by agree
ment between the two parties, the cases have
not, and will not come to trial. By the stipula-
tons of the treaty, all past acts, of all persons,
are to be buried in forgetfulness, and every
one is allowed to remain in the peaceful posses.
sion of his own rights and property. We are
glad this arrangement has been entered into, as
it will save the County much disgrace and
heavy bill of expenses.-[ Boone Co News.
1t sounds very strange to readers down this
way to hear of such a settlement. The resi-
deSces Of private citizens are attacked by a
mob-one of the mob is shot dead, and another
wounded so that he died. The mob, reinforced,
burn their neighbors' dwellings, destroying their
property. A compromise is proposed. aud the
killing of two of the mob is considered an off
set against the burning of the two houses, and
so all is peace again! A "happy termination
says the News. Well-perhaps it is; but it is
rather difficult to comprehend.-[Des Moines

The SourHrRx IssuEs-The Florida Journal.
(the Apalachicola Advertiser) which correctly
represents the sentiments of large portion of
the Southern Democracy, and in the Gulf States
especially, says:-
"Until the slave trade is opened and made
legal the South will push Sla very forward as .
seasoning for every dish. and whether the North
likes it or not, like the Spanish with the garlic,
it will have to be tasted in every course Of the
table. This is the settled and determined policy
of party at the South. We do not pretend
to belong to the ultra Southern party, but we
believe it is duty which the General Govern
ment owes to the South, that the Slave trade
should be legitimate, that her vast domain
should receive cultivators."
The Slave Trade and Slave Code, will be the
great rallying cries of Southern Democracy in
1860. OF this, there is no longer a reasonable !
doubt.

which this wedding has given rise. The people
around look upon the sixth husband as dead

that the marriage should have been prevented
