Sleepy Sentinels.

The disorganizers, especially their leader,
 course, banked largely on their vigilance. They were sentinels on the watch towers of
 democracy, who permitted none to pass
 unchallenged; honest watch dogs who never
 failed to bark when they snuffed the ap-
 proach of stranger. If a wrong was done
 they first discovered and denounced it, at
 least this was their excuse for abusing the majority of the democratic members of the legislature. They now insist that Gov. Conway's refusal to sign the bill to reduce the rate of taxation was henious wrong
 Now, note the fact In February or March
 the Gazette, the then leading opposition paper in the State, had an article on the subject violently abusive of the Governor, and full of the humbug of |" oppressive taxation" peoples money" etc. This was copied in one or two other opposition journals, and perhaps the Fort Smith Her. aid took similar ground. But the chief and his press were silent. Not challenge from the sentinel-not yelp from the watch dog. Six months afterwards, they find out this thing was very wrong. For six months the sentinel slept If this was such monstrous outrage, why wait till the oppo- sition press had exhausted itself and then bring up the rear of the pack? The factis, the bankites feared that opposition to this measure would lead to inquiry as to their real motives. They were not then prepared to take the ground they have since taken, that the people should be taxed to pay the debts of the banks. If they are opposed to repudiation and in favor of taxation here after, why oppose 1t now when dollar may save thousands then? Their waking up six months after their allies had found this mares nest and makinga prodigious to-do, is simply laughable. So in riding past house or plantation, the traveller is parked at by Watch and Bull. and Towser, who, after he passes, go back to lie down, when all at once, little Fido, who has been asleep in the hall, comes tearing out, crawls through the fence, and yelps at the traveller as if, upon his vigilance and barking, the safety of everything on the place depended

What the Arkansas Papers Saw.

The Fort Smith Times tells us that the Indians are robbing and murdering on the plains. Lately the stock of the overland mail company was stolen from one of the stations, and more lately the Indians came into the neighborhood of Gainesville, Texas, killed negro woman and ran off a hundred head of cattle. At Fort Belknap, Maj. Neighbors was shot and killed by a man named McKnett. Col. Leeper, Comanche agent, on his way in from the new home of the Wichitas, was wounded in three places by arrows.
 The Fayetteville Arkansian shows up the hypocrisy of the Batesvile Balance, and gives the disorganizers their deserts We see they have opened upon the Ar kansian and are trying to yelp it down, but that paper need not fear. We have had the same pack at us several times and find they did us no damage.
 The State Rights Eagle contains a mo- tice of the death of Rev. Jesse Hartwell, D. D. The Eagle thinks we pay too much attention to Hindman Perhaps we do. If it was simply personal question 1t might drop as Mir. Hindman or Mir. Any body else is not of sufficient importance to be mentioned so often, but this attack upon us and the democratic party is mask to cover real designs upon the people When this becomes apparent, as it will, we think the people will see its importance.
 From the Fort Smith Herald we learn that Col. Hindman has been induced to promise to visit that city and bless them with speech Couldn't they get up a barbecue?
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-10-12
c. A. Carroll, Esq.

This gentleman, we understand, has been with Mr. Hindman in consequence of sick ness in his family at home. We also was very successful in meeting Hindman and combating his efforts to distract and dlsorganize the democratic party. His task was a patriotic one, and had he been ena- bled to proceed with 1t, he would have de- served and won the appreciation of all good democrats.
 | In this connection we wish to notice a remark of the Old Line Democrats, that Mr. Carroll was our candidate for Congress. It did injustice both to Mir. Carroll and oursclf, and was unfounded in fact Mr. Carroll's position was an independent one and of his own choosing. He thought, as q large majority of the democrats thought, that Hindman ought to be met by some man of his district, and his efforts to de- stroy the democratic party exposed
 As for ourself, we have no candidate. As long as we have been in politics, we have never yet urged any man upon the party for a nomination to any office '~ee-"-~----k ktI,to PULASKI COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND ME- CHEMICAL SocIETY.--In response to call for that object, the citizens of this county assembled on last Monday, and organized the above designated society Gen. w. E. ASHLEY was elected president, A. J. WARD secretary, J. H. !NEwBURN cores bonding secretary; Dr. R. l.. DoDGE treas urer, and the following gentlemen an ex- ecutive committee: c. c. DANLEY, Dr. w. E. WRIGHT, S. w. WILLIAMS, G. w. KING and WM. DRAKE.
 The society will meet again on the first Monday in November, when, in accordance with the constitution, one vice president will be elected for each civil township in the county.
 Nearly every one present signed the con- stitution and paid their initiation fee, one dollar. The organization starts under fla vorable auspices, and bids fair to become very popular.

Gleanings.

There is an exciting war between Eng land and China. In an attack upon some Chinese forts the English were worstad The engagement took place at Taka. on one of the principal rivers. The American Commissioner, Mr. Ward, was there as alec an American ship and small steamer. The latter rendered service to the British bv towing their boats and after the battle by receiving numbers of the wounded on board.
 At the great fair held in St. Louis last week, 65,OOo persons were present on the ground.
 M. Otero is elected delegate from New Mexico. The legislature is largely demo- cratic.
 Walker, the fillibuster, has turned up again. Another expedition to Nicaragua is about to start or has started.

badly as you do, but I hate you D and now is my time to pay you back the whippings have received"
 "But," says Dem, "the negrdS your enemy. If he conquers me, he ps turns on you. This is battle for existS. and if l am killed you perish next. little thrashings have given you havesn for your good and were sorely needed. sstead of opposing me, help me destroy tE Emon- ster who seeks both onr lives and 4 that we can settle dificulties.''
 Now mark the reply of Op: # true that l am fighting you at the san time the negro is-true that I use tasame weapons, and no less true that sboth seek your destruction, but am nos nting with the negro-oh no. If ion you we both could destroy him, but if Intin- ne the war on you between two foes sne in front and one Tn rear you may fd But you must not say that am fghtip ps an ally of the negro. That is a will fslan. der.'
 The remainder of the story wilt told next November. In the meantil the editors of the Herald may ask thems les if Op was not really the ally of the nel and answer this question. If, while shite man and negro are fighting, anothe eEhite man runs up and strikes the white cbat- ant, is he not assisting the negro aa tght- ing for if not piM him?
 While they are cogitating this, swill find more proofs.

From Washington.

Wash1ngton, Sept. 29, 1853.
 Messrs. A. H. Jones and H. NJ. c. Brown, who have been engaged as United States surveyors for the last twenty years, have just arrived in Washington, having recently completed the survey of the boundary lines of the Choctaw and Chickasaw country, from the eighth to the one hundredth meri- Misunderstanding from Red river to the Ca nadian river--in manner entirely satis- factory to the governmet. In 1855 a treaty was made with the Choctaws and Chicka- saws by which the former were to receive $500, ,o0O and the latter S200 900 in con- sideration of a perpetual lease of territory from them on which to locate the Wichitas, Comanches and other wild tribes of In. dians. The Comanches of the Texas Re- serve have already reached there, together with Wichitas and other small tribes, who appear to be satisfied with their new homes. The entire area of the Choctaw and Chicka- saw country embraces twenty millions, five hundred thousand acres, which, as to value, will bear fair comparison with that of any western territory. Out of this about eight millions of acres are now set apart for the location of those wild Indians.

Letter from the Gold Mines.

Nebrosha Territory, July 31st, 1859.
 DEAR FRIEND-After a long delay, l take this opportunity of filling my promise by writing to you. 1 am about l2 miles in the mountain, and there is gold here, but it is mostly confined to the quartz leads and the guches. A little gold, however, can be found on nearly all the creeks and gull ches, but there are but few of them that will pay. Some of the gulches pay tolera. bly, will, for instance the one that 1 am on pays from $l to SlO per day. The most l have seen taken out by two hands in one day is $12. As general thing the gold is very fine, but l have seen one piece that weighed S3 cents, and have taken out a piece that weighed upwards of 20 cents, and number of pieces that would weigh } cents. The dirt that pays best lies from two to twelve feet beneath the surface, the best dirt lying deepest.
 are not yet farily developed, but some of them are paying well, and would pay bet ter if they were better prepared to work them. Some of the quartz leads can be opened in a week or two, but as a general ! thing they lie from Is to 20 feet below a Isolid rock, and consequently it takes mo- Iney, time and labor, to open them. The 1dirt pays about S1 to the pan, and the rock labout S4 after 1t is crushed. There is a little gold on all the creeks, but unless you can get to the bed of the stream they will |aot pay. Several of the streams are now Ibeing turned, but there will be but short time to work in them, as the snows keep them nearly full till about the 1st of July. F There are a large number of men pros- Decting in the mountains, and rich discove- Dies are being made every day. l would lot advise any person that is doing well at home to come here this season. One or two years from now will be a much better tme than the present. Any person com ing out here, however, should come prepar- el to make long stay, as 1t is random hot about making till you get acquainted with the country.
 I learn from good authority that there has been nugget taken out of the gulch ir which 1 am working that weighed So 30 and that $75 has been taken out in one day ly two hands. About 30 miles south o his, at the Gregory diggings, hear that
 Some days the take out amounts to SlOO tt tue hand. There Is company fitting ou to go to the snow range, where, it is said 3 that man can take out Sl0O per day; anC f the man who is to pilot them agrees to le
 the company hang him if he does not shoy
 them the place.
 There is a large emigration here yet, an' l agreat many are going back to the States l Yours truly,
