are now constructing fifty miles of road, up to our State line, and seek an outlet in this direction, which will be furnished by the arrangement for construction of the Cairo and Fulton railroad to Red river.
 The Missouri company has trains running 24 milesAis coming towards the line, with negotiations now pending, sufficient to that purpose.

Confessing the Corn.

Last week, the pro. tenn. in replying to a question put by the Old Line Democrat, objected to the use of the word ''clercal'' as applied to the duties of clerk, in which sense 1t had been properly used by Mr. Peek. It was piece of hyper-criticism which should have been left to the editor of the Balance. Both clerk and clergy are derivatives of the same word, and clerical is almost letter for letter the original word Mir. Peek was right and Mir. Woodward wrong, and the latter has no false shame in admitting it, though in point of fact, he did not attempt the criticism. All he re- grets is that Kennard will get hold of it and cbuckle. For his benefit we will state. that when the article was handed in, the word "clerical' was objected to, by gentle man who read the article, who said it was bastardword and applicable only to clergy men. He was told to alter it and inter- pelated the words ''Mr w. is no clergy man." Thus much for Mir. Remarks s benefit, but the error existed, and the pro tenn. editor is responsible. In confessing the corn, and acknowledging Mr. Peek to be right, it may be well to assure him that in aH things, whenever he gets as nearly right as he is in this case, Mr. w. will be as prompt to acknowledge it.

MAsoMC-The Grand Chapter of Ar. kansas was in session in this city during last week. It was largely attended and its proceedings were characterized with the utmost harmony and good feeling. Col. T. D. Merrick was elected Grand High Priest, and John H. Newburn, Grand Sec retary.
 The Grand Lodge convened on Mon day. Never in the history of that body has there been so full presentation, except when the legislature was in session. This fully demonstrates the healthy and prosper ouS condition of the order St. Johns College will be the absorbing subject, and we look with much interest for the proceed ings upon this subject. The whole frater- nifty manifest proper solicitude for its prosperity.

Cairo and Fulton Railroad.

On Thursday last, the Board of Directors of this company closed harmonious and important session of four days, during which measures were adopted for placing its affairs upon a more favorable footing.
 In our next we hope to be furnished with a full detail of the proceedings, being now able to refer only to the most important.
 The President received from Gov. Cox WAY, and laid before the board certified lists of about 46,000 acres of land from the general land office. The company now has about 1, 1,116,00 acres
 These lands, with the property of the company, etc., are by an order of the board to be made, through trustees, the basis of an issue of S5,000,000 bonds, to be made available as security for the work of con- struction. The bonds will be receivable for lands of the company.
 The company's lands heretofore withheld from sale, will be brought into market, and can be disposed of for work and means to build the road They will be held, by deeds for ready pay, or by contracts upon time. }
 All claims for pre-emptions under the law of Nov. 26, 1S46, will be immediately settled in the most liberal spirit. The Company adheres to it's rejection of the unconstitutional law of last session, grant ing new pre-emption.
 fTbe lands will be appraised, and those found in occupancy of them given the pre- ference in buying at prices, not including their improvements.
 Measures are instituted for securing, by an arrangement with the Texas company, the immediate construction of the road from Red River to the Texas boundary, IS miles.1

Democracy.

Every now and then the oppositionists break out in the old place, and ask for a definition of democracy. They grow sar- castle, scornful and "violently ively.'' They pretend not to know what democracy Is and name over dozen things in style meant to be facetious, anxiously enquiring if these are it. If one of these enquirers happens to be an apostate who, for a luster of years, swore the principles of democracy were eternal and mchangeable, and you refer him to his former declarations, he falls to swearing that democracy has changed, that he is an old liner, no less democrat now, though opposed to everything he formerly supported. As all proper ques- tions should be answered, we give them a definition made before. Let them commit 1t to memory:
 DEMOCRACY.-''Asen sentiment not 10 be appdIed, corrupted or compromised It kno,os no baseness; t co'cers to no dan9er; u expresses no wedkness. De Structioe only of despotisn the sole c0nsuator Of hberty, labor aud property. It is the sentiment of Freedom ot equai rigts o equal obligations larc ot nature perooding the iG~ of the iand.''
 Will some of these questioners give us an equally truthful description of opposi- tionism?

Private Letters and Conversations.

In the attempt of the leader of the fac tonists to break down the leaders of the democratic party, and to thwart its policy so as to elect bank legislature, the most disgraceful and disgusting practices are re- sorted to. It must be remembered that he who does this has had the impudence to prate about honor and has set up claims to gentility. Now, among men of honor pri- vate letters and conversations are held to be sacred We have had politician reading privates letter from the stump. In one case, the excuse is that he first asked and obtain ed permission to read it. But this will not avail, for, prior to that time. he boasted of having letter and said its contents would prove certain things. Now, between tell ing its contents, and reading the letter it. self, there is no difference as to the degree of dishonor. Were we to say that we had private letters from Hindman, which would prove certain fact, there would be no diff ference in making the statement or publish ing the letters Indeed, the latter is the most direct proceeding of the two, for, as in the case above referred to, he said the let ter would prove certain things, which when published it failed to do There will be bitterness in political warfare and men may take advantages, but when politician re- sorts to such dirty tricks as these he sinks very low indeed. We told our friends last winter, to sign nothing presented to them. The object was to get them committed to the disorganizcrs. Ar invitation to make a speech, a subscription to a paper, a circular, anything that could be construed as an indorsement of him, these were pre- sented to every man and they begged to sign them. Some were foolish enough to write letters in confidence They now see their error. If they dare to falter, dare to refuse to move when bidden, their private letters will be exposed and they denounced. In a squabble at Helena, got up by Hindman be- tween other parties, he managed to intro duce himself as a witness and there narrat- ed conversation he had with a third per son. To his statement he appended a re- mark that 1t was correct, for he had reduc- ed the conversation to writing within few minutes after it was held. Think of it, Not only are private letters filed away, but conversations reduced to writingi
 No man who is forgetful or regardless of the obligations of honor is fit to become the leader of party, or to receive the con fdence of honest men. He who is per fdious in one case will be in another If a man will betray his friends he will betray his party Let those who are disposed to hurrah for Hindman now, be careful not to write letters to him in confidence. When his ulterior designs are exposed he will be- gin to sink, and then, for revenge, he will betray and denounce those whom he now fatters and caioles

terrible family, they not only put orie in the list of distinguished arrivals, feed him, give him gratis ride, but treat him with a great deal of difference. The lawyers got their names on the distinguished arrival list, by having the previous good fortune to be widely known the flat boatman, by giving the editor ham; and the free negro by subscribing to the Guzzler.
 Ofcourse carefully avoided such wick ed set as this family must be, though, for the last day or two, began to have my doubts if they are not somewhat slandered. For instance, l was told by one that the family was so aristocratc none of it's mem- bers would speak to poor man, and ten minutes after heard them denounced as demagogues who were cheek by jowl with the yeomanry of the country and did not pay proper respect to wealth and high blood. In the course of half an hour I have heard Memphian land speculator told that the family were opposed to non- residents owning the large bodies of land in the State and holding them up for specu- lating purposes, and an Arkansas farmer told that the family were in cahoot with these same spectators and opposed to the interests of the people. One told person from the southern portion of the State that he had proof positive that the family were in favor of the 35th parallel and had pro- cured appropriation for wagon road and mail route to start from Fort Smith. Meet ing a person from the west, to my suprise the new conner was told that the family favored the 32d parallel and were operating, with all their might, against the 35th.- Meeting third man, who said he was in different which route was selected, so we had road, he was informed that the fami- ly waa opposed to both routes and stood out for dirt-roads
 This is little inconsistent i admit, but tell our friends when they come to the Rock to listen to all these things patiently, brag of their influence at home call them selves General or Colonel at least, and the know nothings and disorganizers here will feed them like fighting cocks.

 The Arkansian notices the arrival and departure of Judge Greenwood, who had been on a tour among the Kansas and Ne braska Indians. Commissioner Green wood is emphatically the right man in the right place, and his selection to the post he so ably fills was the best that could have been made. The Arkansian repeats the statement that Hindman said at Huntsville, he would support Stephen A. Douglas, if nominated by the Charleston convention. His new editor at Helena wished that the pen mi ght crumble in the clutch of any citi- zen of the south who takes it up in defence of the traitor or his treason, meaning Doug las thereby. Well, if the pen crumbles in Tommy's hand, he can get another and write for Stephen A. Douglas What a tizzlep Tommy is. He started out to ad- vocate per diem, revival of the slave trade, secession and to denounce Douglas. He wilted on all these. His speech narrowed down to invectives, abuse and whimpering. From a bold Cortez who had burnt his ships and broken his bridges, he falls to poor persecuted innocent. A wonderful fellow, that little Tommy.
 We learn from the Ft. Smith Times that Hon. Green J. Clarke Is about to deliver a series of lectures at different points in Se- bastian county, on the subject of agricul- ture, and to procure the formation of an agricultural society.
