Letter from Monticello-Her Schools

c|'"" -O|t, AOOo'
 MEssRs EDITORS You have no idea, ger tlemen, how fast town this is. Monticello IS beginning to make her mark on the worlds map If you could be here, and see the bus tie in the streets, and hear the chatter of ham, mcrs, the rattling of wagons, buggies, carriages, etc., and see the scores of students of both sexes, that crowd our schools, you would at once admit that this is "the Athens of the West"
 At no past time, since the town was first located, has Monticello ever improved so fast as now. Many causes have contributed to this: 1st It is beautiful and healthy loca- ton 3d. It is not far distant from the rich, alluvial lands on the Bayou Bartholomew on one side and the Saline on the other 3rd. Arkansas is improving at this day with an in- creased and increasing ratio. 4th. The schools have, more than any other circumstance, tend ed to the prosperity of the town. Since the female college was projected, about two years ago, by Prof. Scott, the town has doubled its population, and real estate, at the lowest esti- mate, has risen one hundred per cent One ca pital error has been committed, and that is, no boarding house has been erected in connection with the college The young ladies have been compelled to board wherever they could find accommodations, and many for that reason. would not come at all.
 This has been source of much vexation to Prof. Scott, as well as great loss, and he has determined to resign the presidency and go else where. His connection with the college, as I have been informed, will close in few days Whether another man of his qualifications as to learning, experience and industry, can be obtained, is problem that remains to be solved.
 Prof. Barrow is in charge of the male aca- demy here. He is succeeding admirably we'll. In fact, he, aided by our enterprisng and ener- geLic citizens, has determined to rear up male college at Monticello. A charter has been pre- pared, and forwarded to the savans now in your metropolitan city, and will probably pass nens. con. before the close of the session.
 Few men are better prepared for such an undertaking than Prof. Barrow. He is a ripe scholar vastly energetic, and possessed of those peculiar qualifications so hard to find in one individual, and yet so necessary in the head of great school. If Monticello will be true to her own interests, and give the required aid, within the space of twelve months, she will have male college under prosperous head way. VIATOR.

 On Monday night last Mrs. Moroney took benefit when, we are glad to say, the house was filled to overflowing It was, indeed, a bumper. The injustice done her has been beneficial in more ways than one. It has stimulated her to renewed exertions and it is general remark among the play goers that there Is visible lmprov vement at every new appear ance. We saw her last week in the character of "Juliaua," in the comedy of the Honey Moon, and were most agreeably surprised. In the first scene in which she appears, as in both the cottage scenes with the Duke, her acting was natural yet spirited. In the other scenes there were some points that she failed to bring out in their proper strength, but whole it was well performed. On her benefit night she appeared as Queen Margaret, in the Tower of Nesle. Her rendition of this character was good, except in the prison scene, where she should have shown more interest in the narra- tive of Capt. Baridan, by gradually approach ing him. as if anxious to lose no word that he might utter. We write freely of what we con- slider her faults as we do of her excelencies, because ndiscrimnate praise is as bad as sweeping censure When we remember tha. she is young, both in years and in the profess sion she has chosen-that she has shown us how capable she is Improvement, that she has talent and energy, we are warranted in saying that she will make good actress, and one that will be so considered anyw here.
 MT. Connor gave us, during the past week, a variety of characters, from the tragic to the far cial, and failed in none. At first, we were dis posed to accuse him of mannersm, of too much sameness, but in the range of characters he at tempted and succeeded in, he has shown us he is capable of appreciating the various authors, and is at home in either line.
 MT. Moroney does not play often but never fails He always knows his part, acts it close ly and chastely, and evidently has studied every line. His fault is often coldness, want of abandon and severe attention to the stage rules But better this than ranting or interpo- lations, far better than overdoing the thing
 We have only space to notice the first az pearance of Miss Bolt, who recited an affecting piece. The recitation did her credit, was feel ingly spoken and elicited applause

OT The opposition presses, especially the Gazette of this city, are very fond of quoting John Mitchell just now as democratic authori- ty, albeit the said John ayers and swears that he is independent of all parties. As they have on several occasions put the Southern Citizen on the witness stand, we regret that we have not kept a file of that paper to show these gentry what John Mitchell thinks of them. If ever whitening sarcasm, fierce invective, and con- temptuous words were poured upon the heads of set of miserable devils, the Citizen poured them upon the heads of those who now quote him approv;ngly. If this man who says in his prospectus that his paper is independent, is a good witness for them he suits our purpose very well against them, and hereafter we may give same quotations from that paper, and in the meantime, we beg them to remember that as he is their witness they cannot discredit his testimony.

NUMBER VI. N0lxfoI


 The seat of the senator from Carroll and
 counties is in front, and to the right of the president. He is ta well formed, hand- some man, with black hair and bright cxpres- sive eye. His manners are cheerful, quiet and unassuming.
 Mir. Watkins was born in Jefferson county, Tenn in 1926; in 1859 went to Kentucky to study law, and after obtaining license to prac- tice returned to Tenn; in 1854 came to Carroll county, in this State, where he now resides.- His political record is clear one. His first vote was for A. V. Brown, for governor of Ten nessee; the next was for the Cass electors, though in so voting, he voted against his bro- ther, now a member of Congress from Tennes. see, and then on the whig electoral ticket in that State. In 1886, when hardly of the age required by the constitution, he was the uuani- nous choice of the democratic convention of his county for senator, and received nearly, if not quite, two-thirds of all the votes cast at the election.
 MT. Watkins is fluent speaker, yet speaks seldom aud then shortly and to the point. He is always at his post both in the senate and con- mittee rooms and attentive to all his duties Though modest, he is by no means wanting in firmness. He is frank, direct and decided. Out side influences have no control over him. being one of those kind of men who act iron, their convictions of rights. Though deservedly po- pular, few men court popular favor less than him-as he never asks if a measure will be popular or will make home capital, but if it is and just of itself. Indeed, his whole course, both at this and the former session, has been firm, high and independent one He is inca pable of trclzery or shuffling. This course has won for him the esteem of his brother senators and will no doubt be appreciated by his consti- tuents, who may well be proud of him.

For the True Democrat

Monticello, Ark, Jan. 24th, 1859.
 NE. EDIToR-Snce Prof. A. M Scott in- tends leaving Monticello, perhaps it may not be amiss to make few remarks regarding him as teacher and the like. The subscriber has been acquainted with him from character six or seven years, but was never intimate with him till last year, when he was employed by the sub scriber to teach English grammar in his school When the writer of this came to Monticello a temperance society termed the Montcellonian was fourishing. Its meetings were semi. monthly when Prof. Scott generally lectured to large audi ences. He was editor of " The Sage," and at the same time president of the female college. So far as the subscriber knows, he has performed his every duty with honor to himself. Hence one can infer that he is en- dowed with powerful constitution and an energy that outstrips all difficulties. As a teacher he has few, if any equals. Perhaps there is not a more thorough English gramma- rian in the south than he. The subscriber has seen Prof. I. J. Morris and others of celebrity, yet he has never seen one so eminenty quail fled for imparting information as Prof. Scott He seems gifted by nature to render his teach ing interesting. Not only his being an author of several works on Grammar but also his an- ecdotal ability and proclivity enable him to in- terard his teaching with spicy remarks, bon mots and repartees which put ennui to flight and cause his grammar schools to be places of leisure and pleasure instead of what they very frequently are It is said the Professor will go to Memphis or Nashville. If he go, doubt- less he will be pleased, for at either of those places he will find large schools. In fine, that ample success be with him in whatever he may engage, is the wish of

 Oliver H. Oates is apparently about thirty years of age; is of full medium height; we'll formed; has frank, open ia e, with mirthful, half-mschievous look, and is evidently fond of fun. His address is pleasing, and he has what the French expressvely term {" bonhom- mie." He is fluent, off hand speaker and com mands attention. Both before court and jury he has been eminently successful in the prac- tice of his profession, as he possesses the power to present the strong points in case clearly and aims to convince and be understood than to display tlourishes of rhetoric.
 MT. Oates was born in North Alabama was educated at Georgetown College Ky, and stu died and commenced the practice of the law at Florence, Alabama. His first and every vote was and has been democratic one, hav- ing always been a state rights democrat.- Shortly after obtaining his majority the demo- cratic county of Lauderdale elected him a member of the Alabama legislature. In 1851 he was chosen by the democratic convention of that State delegate to the Baltimore conven- tion to nominate candidates for the presidency and vice presidency. In 1853 he settled in the county of Monroe in this State. In 1854 he married Miss V O. Wilburn of Memphis, Tenn. He early took ground against know nottingham and was active in behalf of democracy. In 1856 he was elected to the General Assembly without opposition. His course during the session won for him the respect and esteem of his brother members, aud gained for him re- putation as an able debator, an excellent legis- laterian, and a courteous yet firm opponent. In 1858 he was reelected and again without op- position. Upon the meeting of the Assembly he was elected speaker, his principal competi- tor being the Hon. Samuel Mitchell, the for mer presiding officer for two consecutive terms and man universally admired.
 During the balloting for speaker when it was announced that Mir. Fletcher, the Senator from Arkansas county, which county Mir. Nit chell represents, had been elected President o the Senate, the latter immediately withdrew his name as candidate and MT. Oates was thereupon elected.
 As presiding officer the present Speaker has never been excelled. He is promp, deci. ded, clear and courteous. His decisions are seldom, if ever appealed from and he control. without being dctatorial.
 Few young men in the State have succeeded in so short time in winning so much populari ty. As politician he is a sound democrat-as a speaker he possesses no ordinary ability anc his frankness in all things disarm even his op ponents. His mind is qnick, vigorous, grasp ing and clear> >and with his good command. O. language, he is able 10 present his views sc clearly and succnctly as to win the debate and often convince his opponents of the justness oi the cause he espouses.
