"U. G." RAILROAD SrArIsmcs.--Mr 2. 5. Spencer (Rep.) of the New York Assembly, in speech relating to the s'per- sonal liberty bill' now before that body, said he had in his hand list of fugitives who had gone through Albany between June lst, 1858, and January 1st, 1859, on their way from the slave Ststes to freedom. They were 176 in number-one of them was slave of U. s. Senator; one of them property of deacon of the Baptist church in Virginia.
 This is making pretty fair progress, but does not look like the immediate extinc- tion of slavery. Supposing there were but 5000, ,O00 slaves in the country one year ago, this leaves a balance of ? 1899, ,824 col ored passengers to be provided for, making no allowance for natural increase in the meantime.-Ne~ Fork Journal of Com merce.

HOUSE OF REPRE- sENTATIvEs,
 Eoh,nav,r IT 1950

 Hon. 8. T Dural, Speaker cfMe House et' Representatives.
 SIR: In answer to your note of this morn ing, l have this to say, that Hon. o. H. Oates late Speaker of this House in con versation with myselfand others, requested us to vote for the recess. l remarked that the resolution of the Senate would prevent me from collecting my per diem, and that 1 was not able to lose the time. Hon. O. H. Oates then told myself and others that he would sign our per diem certificates during the recess if we would vote for 1t, and re- marked at the time, that he was in favor of the recess, as he was obliged to go home to employ another overseer and attend to other important business.

DIED-At his residence on Marshall street, Richmond, Va, Feb. l6th, at quar- ter to 10 o'clock, P. M., Mir. SAMUEL BEN JAMIN WOODWARD, in the 39th year of his age. He leaves wife and son to sorrow for their irreparable loss. For several weeks before his death he was impressed with the conviction that there was but a step between himself and the grave, and spoke with great composure of the pros pect. The day preceding his departure he arose from his pillow, took the Bible from the stand, read some time, and then getting upon his knees in bed seemed deeply en- gagged in prayer. From that time no fear of death was on him. We hope that he has passed from hi. membership in Grace Street Baptist church, to the fellowship of the Holy and Blessed on high. May those who mourn over the withdrawal of their greatest earthly comfort, meet with him there. And you, reader; and 4

Fort Smith, April 9th, 1859.

MEssRs. EpIToRs--
 The True Democrat of 30th ult., contains a card from o. H. Oates, in which he char. ges that in my address "to the people of Arkansas" 1 made the effort to assail not only his position as speaker, but take es- pecial pains by inuendo to "reAect upon him personally by an unfair statement and ! in some respects gross misrepresentation of facts"
 The only statement made in that address which can be charged as rehecting upon Mir. Oates Is this: "While " Mir. Oates was careful to record on the journal his vote against the recess, he solicited others to vote for 1t, and in order to induce them to do so dfaotly promised to certify Meir accounts tor per diem during Me recess, notwahstanding Me Senate's amendment" This he does not deny, but he insinuates 1t is untrue To remove all doubts and misconception upon this subject, and show that his course was inconsistent, 1t is proper that should pub- fish the following letters of Messrs. Vaughn of Madison, Gray of Polk, Dunn of St. Francis and Garland of Hampstead, a peru sal of which will show that the charge is fully sustained. In reply to the empty challenge of Mir. Oates, to canvass the State upon the issue between us, will say that not being a candidate for office. I do not consider that the matter Is of sufficient inn portance to justify such course. But if he thinks differently, I have no objection 'yto put myself upon the country on the issue joined whenever it suits his conyen fence to make his appointments. In the meantime as he does not approve of my special pleading, he may investigate the evidence.
 In conclusion, I request that you will publish this and accompanying letters, and ii you do, l indulge the hope that they will be placed in more conspicious position than my address was honored with.
 Respectfully,
 BEN, T. DUVAL.

gaming ground in our midst, that we must
 take care of the south, and the party will take care of itself" This principle, which, Tn effect, IS being carried out by many, is last showing itself in the Reorganization of our party. When the attachment to the party, and its firm union, is held as secondary to few vague notions of State rights and wrongs, then shall we see dis organization in its worst form, with all its dlre consequences.
 This spirit which is becoming more or less prevalent throughout the south, for men to plant themselves upon certain plans and notions of their own, with reference to federal, slate, and particularly southern policy, and standing to them despite party and every thing else, we deem most unfor- tunate. If every single individual was to shape his political course. and stand un- yielding to his every notion or opinion, ir- respective of his party, would disorganiza- ton not be the inevitable consequence?- No one will dispute 1t. When the clear Will of the majority is ascertained, how much soever we may differ with 1t, it is our duty' as good partisans, to bow in meek submission, and put our shoulders to the wheel, in furtherence of the common cause. lhls IS. certainly the true policy, at the pre- sent Juncture, in the south Eevery true democrat must believe that the rights of the south are inseparable from the perpe- tulty and triumph of the democratic party. Destroy this party break asunder its or ganlzatlon, and our only recourse, is, for every State and every man taking care of their own. Then how perfectly suicidal IS It tor southern men, democrats, not only to kick at conventions, but refuse to obey the mandates of the party itself. We see men every where pursuing this course, and not few do we find in our own State. who, when they cannot influence or dripe caucus in the course chalked out for its action, instead of falling in the ranks, when the clear will of the majority has been as- certalned, are willing to turn their arms against their old comrades in arms, and denounce them as perpetrators of frand, aud wllful disorganizers. Who are the disor- Sanlzers, let the issue and the canlor of the people decide.

IDoLArRy.-Rev. Baptist w. Noel, of London, in his recent work on the govern ment of India, makes the following singu- lar, and doubtless authentic statement:
 In the Madras Presidency there are now S,292 idols anl temples, receiving from the government an annual payment of fS6, 6,67S, in the Bombay Presidency there are 26, 5S0 idols and temples under State patronage, receiving grants to the amount of f30,5S7 los; to which must be added the allowance for temple lands, giving total for the Bom- bay Presidency of fS9, 9,959 6s. In the whole of the company's territories there are annu- ally expended in the support of idolatry, by the servants of the company, the large sum of fl71,55S 12s.

N- The fnllnwinr article frn,

Ess~ The following article from the Ma dison Journal is worthy the attention of every democrat in Arkansas. Calm, clear and forcible it has truth in every line. The democratic party must be united to preserve the rights of the south. The democratic party is the State rights party, and any at tempt to create another party out of it will weaken the one and end in the destruction of both. Let us close up ranks, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, follow the old democratic flag and keep step to our oli music. And if new and Aashily painted banner is waved, to induce HIS to list under its folds, no matter what taking mottoes are inscribed on 1t, let us not break ranks. Let these new self constituted officers who seek to form independent companies learn that we prefer to trust to those who have hefore led uS to victory.

'Hc ITue Dem0crat. NEW ORLEANS, April & 1S5o

OhLEANs, ApflI $, lS59 To MIR. TRUE DEMOCRAT,
 LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
 De not surprised, dear sir, to receive 2 few lines from the "old Captain" by way of correspondence.
 arrived here on Sunday last, after q oiieeiiess Journey, clouds all around and pouring down in the middle.'' Yesterday and the day before. New Orleans was heavily taxed by the occurrence of two ites' which consumed, (in cotton mainly not less than $1, 1,250,0OO. all insured About l5O families of "poor folks" lost thelr squalid tenements. I saw tears trick ing from the eyes of distressed mothers, (slttng on the sidewalk upon the uncon- sclous happy babe, nestling fondly on the troubled breast. An! Dick! THEIR little property was "NoT" insured. They had but LITTLE, but that LITTLE was their ALL! Try again, is the word
 l met here our old friend and townsman, MT. Richard, of the "LiMe Rock Hqh Sehool." l was very glad to meet "him, D and he seems not sorry to have met me. D We room together
 Mr. Richard is, at present, engaged as presiding professor in the department of foreign languages at the Commercial Col lege of the widely known " Dol5ear," No. lO6 Canal street. Dolbear could not have made better selection. Mir. Richards value as teacher and savan," is here, in New Orleans, we'll appreciated, though he has still hankering for Little Rock, where he, and his highly accomplished lady, have so successfully laid the first cornerstone for education of higher or der, than ever had been known before in Arkansas. MT. Richard is still working for his institute at Little Rock, indirectly, and intends to return as soon as certain objects are attained-during the summer months at least
 The fires at New Orleans, of which 1 have spoken, are, however, but :" small potatoe," when compared to the waters," which, (not for night, or day only, ] but for "momhs,' have overwhelmed the lower Mississippi, burrying, nay '' dro~n- ing" millions upon millions of treasure in their silent and turbid waves.
 How sad it looked, when the good steamer Quapaw, feeling her way along levee in dark and tempestuous night, come to "anchor " in front of an extensive plan tation-all deserted-all fed-like thou sands of others-giving way to the re- morselesS element And who knows how long this distress may last yet!
 If were ship-builder, I'd have a sort of Noah's Ark No. ? fixed up, and look out for another mount A-ra-rat.
 The most pitiful sight was herds of cat tie standing belly-deep in the water, and sure to become the helpless victims of the overflow and crevasse, without any possi- bility of being saved from destruction.
 Business is right lively yet here in New Orleans. l met several old Arkansaw !" acquaintances, among others, Maj. Greer, Cat distance) who, despite of all the hustle around him, did not quicken his pace more than if he walked only across the state-house grounds at Little Rock. 1 saw him at a distance only.

From the North West Appea


 The True Democrat says the Appeal is not posted in seeming to be unaware that the " arch demagogue" and nutocrat, has appointed all the future officers in the State, as we'll as his successor. But this is mis- take. We are not only we'll informed of these startling facts; but we have also been credltlbly informed that the little petty. spoutlng, clustering, would-be giant, has, Tn hls excess of vanity, had the impudence to frank 300 envelopes, some months ago, and distribute them among his favorite vo- ters, whose suffrage may be purchased at any moment for less than three cents per caput.
 We would say for the special edifcation oi hls internal autocratic majesty and all hls gougers, that we mountaineers possess power and 1t is our determination to bruse the political head of the little spiteful dra- gon, and show him, that he had no right to appoint and bestow office no more than his father the devil, when he took Christ into the mountain, showing him all the beautiful scenes of earth, the cattle upon a thousand hills, and offered them ali to the worlds redeemer, for the fee simple, and in consideration of performing an act of demon worship. In this respect the " arch -demagogue," strictly follows his paternal precepts.
 My God! of what materials do know nothlngs and slip-shods make giants!

PIKE's PEAK-The Adrian Watchtower publishes letter from Joseph Parker to his brother, dated Auraria, K. T., February 9th, in which he states that the mines pay poorly; that "for ten who are making five dollars per day, there are one hundred who don't make fifty cents, and good many who don't make anything, and are waiting for the season to go back or start for Cali fornia." Mir. Parker further says: "There are set of land-sharks that have done noth- ing this winter but lay off town sites, and write flaming letters about the gold mines. have done some of it myself, for have an interest in Auraria''

The Canvass in Virginia.

From the Virginia papers and from pri- vate letters received from that state, Letch- CTS success over Goggin has almost become a fixed fact. The longer the canvass con trnues the greater will be the gain for the democratic candidate. As debater Cog gin Is tiashy, brilliant, and has fund of anecdote which pleases, while Letcher never fails to convince and disarm his opponents The canvass in that state is a very exciting one, but the result has ceased to be doubt ful, The divisions in the ranks of democ- racy have been closed up, and Letcher's tri- umph will be as complete as was that of Wise. In Kentucky the prospect is equal ly cheering.
