AN EXTRA PAssENeER.-An anu sing scene took place in the steamer. Baltimore, just as she was leaving for CleaveIand. A rough looking genius came aboard with powerful bull dog at his heels. Walking directly into the office, the individual said to the clerk: Stran- ger, want 10 leave my dog in this here office till the boat starts; I'm afraid some- body will steal him" You can't do it," the clerk. Well. stranger, that's cruel :' but your both dispositioned alike, and he's kinder company for you" "Take him out p roared the clerk. Well, stranger, don't think you're honest, and want watch ing. Here Bull, sit down and watch that fellow, sharp" and the individual turned on his heels saying him out stran- ger if he's troublesome. The dog lay there when the boat started, the clerk giv- ing him the better half of the office.

JUDICIAL ELEcrroS-JuDc OF rur FIrrH CIRcuIr.--We announce Hon. J J. CLESDEaIN, as candidate for re. election as Judge of the 5lh Circuit. We had hoped that the Legislature would extend Judge C.'s term 10 August, 1860 which would have prevented the trouble of holding an election at an indictment season of the year, and enabled the peo. pie to vote for their Presiding Judge--as IS the case in every district in the State-- at the regular election. The election therefore, is compelled to be held on the second Monday of next month, and we but reiterate the universal expression o the people of Prairie county, in asserting that Judge CLENpEHIN is their first choice for the position. We have no idea thai he will have an opponent.

QUICK WoRx.-Our enterprising fellow. townsman, c. A. Rapley, of the firm of Han. ger, Rapley & Co.,, who is associated with J T. Chidester, the we'll known mail contractor in the contract to carry the mail from Madi. son, the terminus of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, to this place, handed us on last Sunday the Memphis papers of Saturday This is unprecedented in the history of mai facilities in this State. And, what is more the contractors say that they intend to keer it up. If so, we will be able to furnish the latest news, and if they crowd us much will set us to thinking about Issuing a tri-weekly if not daily.
 We find the above in the Little Rock True Democrat of the 9th inst. The es. tablishment of this new mail route from Madison to Little Rock pia Clarendon, is another evidence of the selishness and disregard of the rights of the settled DOT tons of the State, that exists in and around Little Rock. The distance from Madison 10 Little Rock ria Des Arc is twenty-miles nearer than the route yid Clarendon, and over better road. Or tue Clarendon route the country is sparsely populated and there are but two post-ofii. ces between Madison and Little Rock. On the Des Arc route the country is well settled, and there are all ready five post. offices. and would be as many more in thirty days after line was established Not less than eighteen mails week leave the Mississippi river that concentrate a, Little Rock, two-thirds of which should be distributed throughout other portions ol the State. "Fair play, is jewell" but our delegation in Congress seem disposed to concentrate every thing at town (yclept cty) thet has "been fnisheT' many years since. The mail facilities oI Arkansas have been improved in the re- cent contracts, but the largest amount ol favors have been concentrated at Little Rock, while the great mass of the people of the State have been neglected,
 The White River Mall Line from Ma. poleon to Jacksonport make their trips re- gularly twice week-yet, over half ol the mail matter for the White river valley and country adj cent is sent to Little Rock for distribution. We have but little hope of justice being done, so far as mail facili. ties are concerned, until Col. T. c. HIND MAN takes his seat in Congress. He knows the wants of the people, and we are mistaken in the man, If he does mol expose the trick by which monopoly has been made of mail facilities in Arkansas ''for the benefit of the few, to the detri- ment and injury of the many"

 SWAMP LANDS IN THE HELENA DIs- TRIeT.-Patenl Mo- 10, for lands in this district has been received. As our for mer notice of lands patented was mis-
 understood, we are induced to state il again. All the confirmed swamp lands in the Helena district are now patented to the State, except those in the last confirmed list, and which were offered for sale by agent Smith, al his last sale. In other words, those lands offered for sale and sold by MT. Jesse A Jackson, and those offered by J. c. O. Smith, at his first pub llc sale, are now patented to the State. But small Confirmation remains to be patented. being for lands principally south of the base line and west of the fifth prin- cipal meridian, lately offered at public sale. No doubt the patent for these will soon arrive.-[ Liule Rock True Democrat.

MucH ADO ABour NorHINa.-Tha, mischief making and pestilent dema, gogue, Stephen A. Douglas, is the cause of new strifes and discords in the Demo. cratic ranks. The party will never again enjoy repose until the infamous brand which marks the dishonored brow of Martin Van Buren has been stamped upon the name of Douglas.
 The removal of the electioneerng pilgrim from the Chairmanship of the Committee on Territories has produced considerable hubbub. The Opposition, composed of men who have for years wasted much valuable breath in slander- ing Judge Douglas, are shedding a tor rent of crocodile tears over his removal. They are grieved, absolutely shocked, at the disgracefu treatment which the poor, persecuted innocent from Illinois has re- ceived.
 We shall not, on the present occasion, attempt to justify the removal of Judge Douglas. We shall not inquire into the policy of the movement or attempt it's jus- tification. But, we deem It necessary to give the facts. Senator Douglas not been ill Washington since the assembling of Congress, and, 1t is said, will not be there till after the holidays; consequently, there seemed to be necessity for supplying the important post with some one who was present.; accordingly, Senator Green, of Missouri, was chosen. These committees are appointed every year, al the opening of Congress, and until they are organized no business of any importance can be got ready for the action of the Senate hence the necessity for the selection of a chairman who was on the spot, ready to enter upon his duties.
 We think it altogether likely that Sem ator Douglas did not care about serving any longer in the post, or he would have been present at the commencement of the session. At all events, We do not think there can be any just ground for complaint at the action of the Senate, especially if the motive was the public good.-[Mem- phis Avalanche.

THE REPUBLICAN METHOD OF ABoL IsHING SLAVERY AT THE SoUrH.-Se ward, Chase, Giddings, and other leader: of the Republican party have lately, 1T speeches and letters, discovered the man. her in which slavery is to be abolished al the South through the instrumentality o an organization in the North. A Demo. cratic contemporary, the Albany Argus and Atlas, thus condenses and explains 1t "The meaning of this is, let the mid dle States invite slaves to escape, and re- fuse to surrender them Let the Norll take possession of both Houses of Con gress, and of the Executive department Reconstruct the Judiciary. Make slave. holding disqualification for office, and Abolitionism the requisite for all positions Fill the Southern post offices with Aboli. ton agents, and make the mails the agen. cy for the dissemination of insurreclionary publications. Use the money power and the public domain as bribes for enamel. patton; and tax the States that refuse to to comply with the demands of Northern fanalicism. Recruit free blacks "cti. zens" into the army, and when Southern States appeal for succor send them there Intercept the slave emigration between States; and prostrate the barriers which the State constitutions interpose to the in- cursions of free negroes. And finally, SC discriminate in treaties with foreign pow CTS, in tariffs, &c,, against the productions of the South, as to render slave labor worthless"
 This is the plan of Seward, Giddings & Co.,, and the authors of it turn up the whites of their pious eyes and wonder at the excess of their own forbearance, and at their devotion to this "cursed const- tution."
 And such are the men Southerners are invited and urged to cooperate with under the name of the Composition" Whole platoons, companies, and regiments of Know Nothings, who are yet true to their own interests and their section, will re- fuse to thus follow Critenden, Humphrey Marshall, Underwood, and the Louis vile Journal, into the Black Republican ranks.

NEW TERRIToRY.-It is said that Hon Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, will shortly give notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the reorganization of q" a new Territory, embracing the South Platte gold diggings and portions of Kansas, Utah and Nebraska. The proposed ter ritory will embrace within it's limits the head waters of the Rio Grande and Platte rivers. Settlers desire the name of the Territory to be Coloma, but i, is probable lha, another name will be adopted.

g@5~ With the restlessness and love o adventure which characterize the Amer. iean people, an expedition is now filling out in New York by number of enterpri- sing young men, of various trades and pro- fessons, for the settlement of one of the Papuan Islands, in Central Oceanica. They propose to go into cultivation of sugar cotton, coffee, and other tropical products and to establish free port for the supply and reftting of American whaling ships in the Pacific, and for general trade. The islands which the colonists have fixed upon is said 10 be very fertile and beau tlul, and is not claimed by any European power, a few powerless and inofensive natives occupying it who will welcome peaceful adventurers. The en- lerprise is novel one, and its progress will be watched with interest.

1t was the fate of the father of Lamartine,
the living French poet and orator, to be mixed
up with the first French revolution. During
that stormy period he, with a great number OF
his compatriots, were immured in prison at Ma
con. He was not long there before his wife and
her child took lodgings opposite the window OF
the cell which enclosed the republican. She
soon drew his attention to herself and her child,
which, though he could not speak to her for
fear Of the sentinel, reconciled him in some
measure to his captivity, and lessened the bur-
den of his woes My mother" says Lamar

murder of his master The fearful tragedy took
place on New Years Day when the annual ne

were instigated thereto by james Galway,

speech urging the people to burn the negro as
an example to the other negroes. The occur
rences after the mob had battered down the jail
doors and obtained the negro are thus narra-

"They marched him to the centre Of the Jail
yard, drove down large stake, and chained
him in an erect position, hand and foot fast to
the stake. There was an abundance Of shavings
and fne-split wood piled around him. This.
consumed some half an hour. During this
time the negro talked to the negroes that gath
cred round him. He told them that he had
good master, and that he was always treated too
well and given too many libeities, and for them,
to take warning In tlme and never do as he had
done. Then the torch was applied, and ho
