To Me EdifOr of True DemOcrot-


 The State Rights Democrat of Septem- Der 20th, 1859, contains a communication from its correspondent, Viator," in which is the following statement:
 He (Thomas c. Hindman) publicly refuted the charge made against him by the True Democrat, that he had attempted to break up the Batesville convention of '56, and that, too, in the presence of James w. Butler, esq.,, who, it appears, assisted to create that unjust impression. He branded the charge as falsehood and islander, and proved it to be such Mir. Butler said not a word"
 This paragraph is calculated, and seems to have been designed, to create the impress sion that I quietly submitted to be charged with falsehood and islander; and if such were the inten. ion of the writer, in this re- spect it is malicious, and utterly destitute ot truth I have, heretofore, through the press shown to what extent assisted to create the unjust impression" and do not think it necessary to repeat 1t here.
 Col. Hindman in his speech at Batesville, to which " Viator" refers avoided any Ian guage which could give me offense. It is true that never said a word in reply, be- cause, so far from denouncing me as might be inferred from "Viator's" communica- ton, Col Hindman alluded to me in respect. ful terms; and so far as 1 was concern ed he took exception only to the ex- pression of my private opinion that he wished the convention to adjourn without making which he said was erroneous and did him great injustice this it was his privilege to do. am not 1T the habit of vindicating in public speeches my private opinion on matter in which am but little interested. 1 was not Hind mans competitor, and nobody expected me to make orations against him.

 THE< THEATRE. - This establishment, under the management of Maj. c. J. Turn bull, opened on Saturday, the 1st inst, { with Knowles play of the Hunchback. On Monday night the tragedy of Pizzaro was presented.
 The theatre has been remoddeled. the stage enlarged and a rear entrance provided for the performers. The back seats are raised, and so arranged that each person in the house may have a full view of the stage. The improvements are decided, and made with judgment The stock company is quite large one, comprising five or sia female and double as many male actors among whose names we recognise those o the old favorites, Mrs. Palmer, and Messrs Conner, Johnson and Campbell. Mrs Pennoyer, the "leading lady," is an ac- tress of more than ordinary merit She is handsome, graceful and spirited; and, SC far as we have seen her performances, are disposed to believe that she is better ac. tress than many of the so-called "stars ''
 The manager has spared no pains and expense in fitting up the establishment and promises the public succession o good things. His liberality will, we hope be met in like liberal spirit.

RIvER-The Arkansas river is still fallino with two and half feet water in the chan. mel. We hear that the river is rising above this point, but to what extent we are not advised.
 The steamer Lady Walton is aground a few miles above this point, on her way tc Fort Smith. The steamer s. H. Tucker is in the river, with a large freight from Gin cinnati for this place, without a rise she will find it next to impossible to make our landing. The South Bend is now past due.
 Weather delightful, and the health of our city and country generally, was never known to be better.

E The Irene sunk, on Saturday morn ing, the 24th Sept, in sight of "John- sons Landing" three miles above White river Cutoff, in about IT feet water, and is total loss. No blame seems to be at- tached to the pilot; and the officers per formed their duty to the passengers, under the circumstances, as well as it could have been done. The boat went down in three minutes after she struck, and it was so sud- den, that one deck passenger, young girl, and one of the fremen, negro, were drowned The boat had on her about 250 bales of cotton, all of which will be saved with but little damage. The boat was worth about s20, ,000, and had an insurance upon her of sl2,oO0.
 The "Hene Jordan was the most beautiful boat that ever floated on the Ar kansas river. She was better conducted and had better accommodations for hel passengers than any boat in the trade Hel sinking is a great loss, not only to hel clever and gentlemanly owner, but to the public generally.

Eg We are now told that the trick resolutions introduced in the caucus that nominated U. s: Senator, were not for the purpose of laying down a platform. What then? Merely to adopt rules for Meir oDn governmem and protection Il to fortify themselves against encroachments upon the established usages of the demo- cratic party and to keep out know nothings and disorganizers.
 By this it appears that eighty or ninety sensible men, who had been elected by the people to make laws, were deemed incapa. bie of governing and protecting themselves 50 small politician came all the way from Helena to draw up resolutions and rules tc enable them to govern and protect them selves. Ihls was very kind and conside. rate. And, after the rules were presented to them, these men had the sgotism to be. lieve that they could protect themselves and so refused to adopt the rules drawn m by an outsider. What an ungrateful world this is!

TEg- It is impossible to keep the run O

EEs- It is impossible to keep the run of politics in New York or revolutions in Mexi- co., It requires close reading and'a good memory But the various divisions of the democratic party seemed to have settled down into " hards'' and "softs." These met at Syracuse on the l4th inst, in con vention, which opened with a row, and final ly was brough to order. A ticket was se- lected and Senator Dickinson appeared and made an excellent speech. The democracy of the empire State will show united front to the enemy and in all probability redeem New York from opposition misrule. A majority of the delegates to be sent to the Charleston convention are in favor of Dick inson for the presidency.

FEMALE DEILcAcY.-Among other fea- lures which adorn the female character, de- licacy stands foremost within the province of good taste. Not that delicacy which is perpetually in quest of something to be ashamed of, which makes merit of blush, and sifnpers at what its own ingenuity has put upon an innocent remark; this spurious kind of delcacy is far removed from good sense; but the high-minded delicacy which maintains its pure and undertaking walk alike among women and in the society of men-which shrinks from no necessary duty, and can speak when required, with seriousness and kindness of things at which it would be ashamed to smile or blush-- that delicacy which knows how to confer a benefit without wounding the feelings of another-which can give aims without as sumption, and which pains not the most susceptible being in creation.

TERRIBLE AFFIcTIoN.--A sheriff's officer of Placer county, arrived in Sacramento on Thursday, having in charge an insane man named George B. Cole, who was ordered to be transferred to the State Luna tic Asylum at Stockton. Cole was formerly resident of Washington county, Ark ansas, and came to California in 1857, leaving his wife and family there. During the same year man by the name of John Wells seduced his wife, and about one years since seduced his daughter, aged about fourteen years, besides, through his wife, squandered his property. Upon the receipt of advices of the seduction of his daughter. he became insane, and, although quiet now, his only desire seems to be to have an opportunity to reach Arkansas and redress his wrongs on the person of Wells Cdlitornia paper.

AMALGAMATIoN.- fruit of the system bf harboring runaway slaves is apparent Erom the following paragraph from the Detroit Free Press. Disgust is very tame Erord by which to indicate the adherence bf all virtuous and rightmined persons to kuch conditions. The extent to which kmalgamtion is carried in this city is really Beyond the knowledge ofnine- -tenths of the Inhabitants. There are hundreds of families, fe parents of which are of opposite tolors, and although the marriage of whites Ind blacks is illegal and void, yet they live bgether and bear children. Itis remark

 ST. DoMINGo.-The government of this island must delight the hearts of the oppo- sltlon.

VERY FAsT-Our exchanges, in noting the progress in our state, will be gratifed to learn that we have telegraph from this point to Batesville. A communication from some unknown point in Independence county, was written there on one day, transmitted to this city and set up in type on the next day. There is dispatch for you. To prove that it was not typo graphical error, the writer refers to the reception of newspapers there, and of the sentiment concerning them, which could not have been received, read, and the senti- ment expressed and gathered, until the date of the letter.

FREE NEGRoEs.-In Venezuela the blacks are roaming throughout the republic burning, pillaging and numbering the whites. In Jamaica they are crying to England for aid in the shape of troops.- What commentary on emancipation it is, that England should now be forced to send troops to kill the negroes she so cruelty set free. Their so-called freedom has had the effect of reducing their numbers, and in pro- cess of time they would become extinct, but it has been ordained that war is to car " out the ifrepressible conflict.

To THREAD THE NEEDLE.-A little tool has been invented for threading a needle. It IS made with two blades, which holds the needle with its eye opposite a little funnei-shaped opening, into which it per fectly easy for person of weak sight to pass the thread, and the thread inevitably passes through the eye. When this is done, the ends of the little implement are pressed by the thumb and finger, like scissors, and the needle falls out threaded.

Yet on his whitened lips there hung
