CUBA,-A writer in a French paper
prcfaces an article on American politics
with the following remark:
"We codld not submit to the annexa-
tion Of Cuba with the same facility as to
the rrogressivs and inevitable absorption
Of Mexico, but we cannot disguise from
ourselves that, in presenceof the ardor ol
Mexican covetousuess, and the power oi
expausiou'of Of the Anglo Saxon race, Spain
iucurs the danger Of losing her finest co.
lonial possession. The best mode Of resis.
ting the United States in America, would
be TO abolish Cuba. It would be meas.
ure Of high polroy as well as humanity.n

would cure the murrain in cattle, as it is
much the same in symptoms with the chole-
era. Let some of our farmers try this, and
report to the President of our Society.
Concerning the Fair hardly think there
is any necessity for me to urge the farmers to

have little intrinsic value, but a horse that
has taken premium will sell at one-third

that SO many are losing the greater part OF

constrained to say few words on the
"Hog Cholera the mysterious disease
which is almost running some of our best
farmers. l have not the vanity to suppose
for moment that 1 shall throw any new
light upon the nature of, or remedy for, this
dangerous disease, but having paid conside-
rable attention to the symptoms attending
the presence of it, or Immediately proceed
ing its attacks, and also having seen and
preserved some receipts for the cure of it
in its various stages, feel constrained to
make few statements concerning the ma
ture, symptoms and cure of the disease
which We recognize as " Hog Cholera -
This disease affects the hog very much as the
murrain does the cow the hog, when it
feels the disease approaching, will be seen
to droop about, and refuses to eat if food
be placed before it. The disease begins its
work upon the stomach just as the Asiatic
cholera does upon man ; the stomach has
received too much food for the digestive or
gans to consume soon the bowels of the
hog of course become infamed, hence the
fever which always attends this disease,
The mass OF undigested food generates bile,
which. when mingled with this excremen-
titious food, appears Of dark, filthy, mud
color. The presence of this bile is what
causes the hog to become spiritless and dull,
the same effect which it produces in the hu.
man species. OF course the chief aiSa of
the owner should be to cause the stomach
of the hog to discharge this mass of pu-
trid matter. Purgatives which have such a
happy effect upon man in the attainment of
this object will not work SO bene6cially on
hogs and in this disease another import
ant object is to cause speedy discharge.
Vomiting is the most speedy and only safe
remedy. and in order to produce it the fol-
lowing receipt was suggested by young
lady to her father. in Amherst, Virginia.

DEAR SIR No voice having been lifted
in the Press" from Carroll County, as
expressive of public sentiment in regard to
the next Congressional nomination, shall
take the liberty to speak out in behalf of
my fellow citizens, and beg the favor of be-
ing heard through the columns of your in
auential paper.
This County and Newton, also Marion
and Searcy are unquestionably and decided
ly for Col. A. NJ. WILSON, There will be
no effort made by the friends of any other
gentleman to place the name of their favor
lite before the County Convention in Car
roll; /; and in the other counties named, the
unanimity of public sentiment in favor of
Col. Wilson is such as to preclude all idea
Of any other man receiving their support,
until efter a nomination is made by the
Dis.sict Convention. But all unite in the
determination of supporting the nominee,
whoever he may be.
Your course meets the appreciation of
the people in Carroll, although, they would
much prefer that you would give the influ-
ence of you editorial support to the favor
lite of the West. We ought to be, all as
one people, of one interest, and of one de-
termination. If the West is divided with
in itself its influence will be weakened.

We ask attention to the communication

there are grave things contained therein,
which should be considered by our citizens
matters in which they have an interest.
There is no doubt but that we have Aboli-
tionists among US, and it bchooves every
citizen to be on the look out at this time
in proof of which We may state circum-
stance that occurred at Fort Smith in the
early part of the present week, and which
we learn is as follows Mr.. LoAand who
has been in this ncighborhood for sometime
purchasing negroes for his plantation in
Chicot County, had placed some of them
in the City Jail or lookup for safe keeping,
and it appears from the statement of the
negroes, that some white men went to the
Jail and asked the negroes if they wished to
get out-the negroes answered that they did
the white men by false keys or some 9TH
er method opened the door, and told the ne
groes to go off with them--this they refus-
ed to do-the white men then told them to
so of by themselves-this they refused to
do, and Immediately went to the Hotel
where there were other negroes belonging to
the same owner and told their story of how
they had escaped from the lookup. Search
was Immediately made for the white men,
but without avail. Whether they were
Abolitionists, intending to free the negroes,
or were negroe stealers, there is of course
no means of telling. In either case our
citizens should be watchful.
