For the True Democrat.
Mdependence County, Ark., 1859.

IbUcptItucHCo NONfNy, ~iff'', iScc.
 MR. JOHNSON: In looking through the columns of the True Democrat, 1 notice many inquiries from the citizens of this State and others, asking for a cure for the bloody murran. I will state to you and the public in general, that my father was a very skillful COW doctor, and in Ireland from whence he immigraled the above complaint prevailed to great extent. The following cure he never knew to fail in any instance, when taken in time: Three half pints of milk, fresh from the COW, and one pint of common salt mixed together and carefully drench One dose taken in time is suffi- cient; but if the complaint is of long stand ing before noticed, and the beast shows no sign of being better, for six hours repeat the dose.
 There has been seven or eight cases of the above complaint come under my own observation in different places, Iprescribed the above remedy and the result was final cure.
 Remember the above dose would be too much for calf or yearling, and not quite enough for large grown OK.

Heaviest Sporting Wager on Record


 Mr. Ten Broeck appears to be putting matters through with a rush just now in England. Our London papers bring intel llgence that he has made bet of ;3100, 900, $50,000 a side, with Sir Joseph Ilawley, that his horse Umpire defeats Loterer for the Derby of 1860. lIr. Ten Broeck purchased Loiterer whon vearling, for 2,500, and afterwards sold him for $7, ,500, having won S5,000 with him in match in the meantime He is a half brother to the celebrated Saunterer. but bel yond his undcniable high breeding and promising appearance, there is nothing in him to justify the high opinion entertained of his merits by his owners. Umpire has proven himself frst-class horse Sir Joseph Hawley is the most experienced as well as successful turftc in England. Last year he carried off the Derby with Beads man, and this year with Musiid. In fact the ''cherry .iacket' is oftener seen in front in the more important races than any other. and If Mr. Ten Broeck out general the lucky baronet, he will have achieved feat which no other sportsman in England has ever been able to accomplish. The enormous extent of the wager, together with the character of the horse engaged, will render the race the most interesting that has taken place on the English turf since Vol hgeur had to succumb to the Dutchman, and the result will be looked for with equal anxiety on both sides of the Atlantic.

 How dark the shadow on the parents hearts, cast by coffin (though small. ] which is made the repository of their own sweet babe. How painful the scene, when for the last time they impress kiss upon its pallid lips, now cold in death. How sad this scene would be, was it not for the light ot the Gospel and the hope it inspires in the bereaved parents hearts, that they will see 1t again in better word-this brings sweet relief, enabling them to say
 Sleep on IRBELLA ESTHER, sleep

 Thine eyes no more in sorrow weep,
 Nor pain disturb thy rest. D. At the residence of Mrs. Mary Douglas, Tn this county, on the 1lth inst, of con sumption, Mrs. EMILY C., wife of $. G. Parker, aged P years.

AN AMERICAN RIVAL TO THE GREAT EsTERN.-Saunders' News Letters, of Doublin, says that the ship nearest in size to the Great Eastern, arrived in England from America about thirty years ago. She was called the Baron of Renfrew, was 600 feet long, and was composed of large logs of timber clamped together in the toughest manner. It was predicted that she would never steer-never would cross the Atlantic; but she did, and immediately upon her arrival was broken up Indeed, she was nothing more than imported timber duty, whih was then exceedingly heavy She fulfilled her mission in every way, but the government was down upon the new dodge, and prevented any repetition of the experiment.

For the True Democrat

Mn. EDIToE-As the time approaches for the meeting of our conventions, the ques- tion naturally arises, and forms an exciting topic of conversation, who are to receive the nominations of those conventions for those high positions of trust and responsi- bility, which are al the disposal of the peo- pie.
 It is right that this question should claim the attention of every citizen of the land, and in order to proper information upon the subject, receive liberal and unbiased discussion.
 Popular suffrage is the essence of our form of government, and without a general diffusion of knowledge among the masses, and especially, correct information as to the qualifications of their servants. this principle must lose all of it's intended force, and the idea itself become utterly farcical. It behooves us at any time to use discretion in the selection of public officers; but more particularly, when our nation presents an arena of continual strife, between principle and sound policy on the one side, and fana- ticism and self promotion on the other.
 Among those who are mentioned as aspi- rants for the nomination to represent the southern district of Arkansas in Congress, I know of none whose qualifications and services so eminently beft him for and en- title him to that position, as do those of Dr. c. B. MITCHELL, of Hampstead county. If the fidelity of life time to the demo- cratic party, and an able advocacy of its principles, through veal and woe; if fund of general information, in short, if ability to conceive, honesty to promulgate and couI- age to maintain line of policy" form inc constituent clements of a standard bearer for such an occasion, then in him may we confidently reposc. Theye are now among us the big guns" of the opposition, who, more than once have felt the force of his eloquence and the pointedness of his wit and sarcasm
