 The South Arka Democrat calls upon the people to celeb the fourth of July. The opening paraG of the article is as follows:
 "Natiohal glory is thlwark of national free dom and prosperity. 1hollections of the past, and of the heroic deedh noble ancestry, are rich in lessons of patri. The approaching anniversary of Americarependence recalls to mind vividly long list eendid triumphs. dark ened here and there, it ise with gloomy inter- vals of disaster and humil. but ending at last Ill the achievement of 1rtn and the establish ment of proud and prosps empire in the vest Each annual return of a fraught with such cheering recollections, shoe celebrated by a grateful people, with manii of ioy and de light, and should send pat thrill through the bosom of every citizen, whoys the blessings of civil freedom, and values tiory of his native land.''
 The want of respectDwn to our na- tional sabbath, both at north and at the south, is becomingbre and more marked every year. Patism is giving way to sectionalism and thare some who hope and others who fea,at the south will yet celebrate Fourth July exclu- sively her own.
 The Washington Telegh says it is announced that Dr. Davioale Owen, now engaged in prosecutinge geological survey of this State, has beeopcinted to superintend the geological sly of Indi- ana.
 The Madison Journal, editee William M. Hooper, is principally takep with controversy between P. Dunn, lis attor ney, T. c. Hindman, and the Or of the Journal. As it now stands, "aling po litician about Helena," as Hind styles himself, has put his foot in it. 5 editor of the Journal took ground aga per diem." Thereupon, it was resol that Mr. Hooper must be immolatt Mir. Dunn felt or affected to feel hinf ag- grieved and came out in a fierce Ar. or at least his name was printed at bot tom of it, accusing Hooper of manyngh- ty things, among which were abolitism know nottingham, prefering the Wings of Shakespeare to the Bible. etc. lper gave the charges of abolitionism andow nottingham flat denial and called fthe proof which consisted in a letter fronIr Hicks, declining to repeat any conya- ton; letter from T. C. IIindman in wh he says that Mr. Sutton told him that Hicks told him that Mr. Hooper told |. etc., and that Mr. Hicks told him, (I) that Hooper had an abolition book. I was backed up by the other letters from | sons who heard other persons say that u heard Hooper say.
 The Journal now comes back with st, ments directly from Hicks and Sutton, W put fine point on it, by saying that Hi man-is mistaken
 Hindman says that Hicks said t Hooper read from an abolition book co menting upon and indorsing 1t. Hi says no such statement ever came from lips. Iindman says he gave Mr. Hi distinctly to understand, at the time of conversation, that he sought the staten for MT. Dunn. Mir. Hicks says this is so. Iiindman says that Sutton told | that Hooper stated his political opini so as to create the distinct impression t Hooper was a know nothing. Sutton s; Hindman is-incorrect.
 But the beauty of the thing Is this This know nottingham and abolitionism Hooper's was made known to these r sons shortly after Hooper's settlement Arkansss. After which we find Mr. Hoo writing political articles for the State Rig Democrat. He says:
 "With reference to Hindman. we have to st that one of the first things we done on our entra into the State, and before we became acquaiT with him, was to write political article for State Rights Democrat, which was published heartily sanctioned by Hindman himself An, every thing political we wrote, we had the apprc of that gentleman. And we are thoroughly ( vinced that, had we taken sides in the Journal V Col. Hindman, we never should have heard W of the charges which he now so readily comes ward to suhstantate. Because we have taken honest and firm course for what we deemed ri. which has brought us to combat his traitor course, our destruction is sought, and this is means restored to-
 If Mir. Hooper is an abolitionist or kn nothing, he was at the time he wrote Hindman's paper and this is as bad as ; hitting know nothings into dcmocra caucus. But not content with this, \ Hooper publishes certificates from Y college, showing that there'" he uniform advocated pro-slavery principles in conft mity with the views generally prevaili at the south" It is not very probable man would be pro-slavery in Connect, and anti-slavery in Arkansas.
 The truth is that Mr. Hooper was vc good democrat, and sound on the slave question until he refused to put on the c lar of the factionists. He has turned { tables on them so far and we look W some interest to see the upshot of it. is another of those disgraceful squabl that the congressman elect is always 2 ting himself into.
