having been driven off are mostly Indians who have
eludcd the volunteers, and among the most wary
and treacheous thathave infested the country. They
are now Ia the dense forests of redwood banded to-
gether it is thought, for fight; and when that fight
has been concluded and these Indians either killed
captured, the object of the expedition will have
mainly been accomplished. This fight was commenc-
ed on Friday Inst
We learn from Gen. Kibbe that the command has
been divided into three detachments and will close
in upon the Indians from three different points, COW
ering such portions Of the country as they will most
likely choose for egress ii too hoty pursued. The
General thinks there are from one hundred to two
hundred warriors, with fifty to seyentyfve guns, and
plenty OF ammunition, to engage in the fight" We
trust the Indians may stand and offer battle; should
they do so, Captain Messick with his volunteers will
give good account Of themselves, as they have
hitherto done.
The Humboldt Times, of the 5th inst, says " The
storm the latter part of last week and the early part
o. tns was SO severe in the mountains that it was
Impossible Tor the men to travel much On Tuesday
OF last week Capt. Messck Joined Lieut. Winslett at
Elk Prairie, where the whole command eucamped
until the forepart of this week. when we learn they

themselves Tor announcer start and are now in daily
expectation Of hearing Of another engagement. On
Friday. the 18th ult., Lieut.. Wnslett came upon

 MR. EDITOR: In late number of your paper appears an article on cisterns and cistern water, which, I think contains much wholesome advice; applicable to every portion of the State, but more especially to the limestone regions of the northern part. My few years residence in this sec ton, leads me to believe that most of our prevailing febrile diseases are caused by the bad quality of our water. Northern Ark ansas is not an unhealthy country; yet it cannot be denied that more sickness prevails than her elevated position, her pure air and freedom from stagnant water would lead a stranger to expect.
 l have noticed that the deep valleys are the most uniformly unhealthy; such as the bottoms of White river, Buffalo, and most of our creeks, where the springs have their sources apparently deep in the mountains. The water of such springs to my palate at least, has an unpleasant sickening taste, notwithstanding its grateful coolness on hot summers day. Whether this quality IS owing to it's passage over beds of mineral Tn its way through the depths of the hills, or from some other local cause, 1 am not qualified to decide But I have observed also, that springs which issue from the ground very near the tops of the hills, or nearly on a level with their sources, as in- dicated by the warmth of their waters; are almost as productive of i'll health, as those of the deepest valleies. The springs of moderate elevation, whose waters are ap- parently free from impurities, are the most healthy and pleasant to the taste This remark seems also to be applicable to our well water generally; doubtless from the fact that 1t flows through the earth at moderate depth. Be this as it may, am firm in the opinion that we'll water is superior to spring water in all re- spects, although do not believe that even 1t furnishes the kind that we need-well- digging also, in the cavernous limestone districts of our country, Is an uncertain un. dertaking; generally beyond the means of our farmers; most of whom, settled on their single forty, with very moderate amount of goods and chattels around them; do not feel prepared to trust to the chances of ob- taining supply of water in that way. This difficulty, instead of a misfortune, would provea benefit in the end, if it would lead our farmers to study and realise the

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct 21, '59.
 I am now in cozy chamber, at the City Hotel, in the city of rocks" the proud capital of Tennessee. A week ago l step ped aboard the cars on the M. G c. rail- road, at Memphis, and was whirled away in double quick time, over bridges, through hills, by villages, farms, farm houses, through North Mississippi, North Alabama, to Stevenson, 210 miles, thence to Nash. vile, by the Chattanooga road. 112 miles, to this city in B hours from Memphis, the whole distance being 3S2 miles-a through ticket at SIP.
 It is wonderful to see how towns are springing up all along the railroad, as if some wizards magic wand, verifying former superstition, had called them into being. What change has passed over Middle Tennessee within the last thirty years, especially as it regards travel! Then the tip 10 Memphis and back was tedious. requiring at least three weeks. It was ge- nerally performed on horseback, and many were the toilsome hours, and lonely passes and long stretche !, and muddy bottoms. that had to be pas ed. Now the traveller takes his carpet bag in hand, enters mag. nifcent car, sits upon cushioned seat warns, if the we lther is cold, at a stove sleeps at night on the easy couch, and. in 2 fraction less than a day from Nashville. finds himself at ths princcly Gayosa, in the Bluff City,

 Dear .Sr: As 1 see few manifestations of interest as to who is to be our next can didate, (and therefore representative) for Congress, exhibited in the press, I think that 1t would be well to obtain the voice of each county in the district, through cor respondents to you, as the editor of the democratic journal for our State, relative to their choice; and to give the ball motion. ] will tell you what have learned in regard to this in Calhoun, from frequent inter- course with all of her citizens.
 She is for Judge Compton. l will not say that she would not compromise, for she is certainly a strict member of democ- racy, with a few exceptions; but her in structions to her delegates will certainly be, ''onr first choice is Judge Compton," He is a man of funsuperceded political erudition for one of his age-deeply versed in all of the mtricacies of judicial and legislative lore; a man of high character, and would be an honor to any State Lets send him to Congress to wipe off the dark stigma of Hindman ct al, from the escutcheon of our commonwealth. Hoping to soon hear from all other portions of south Arkansas, I am with high regards, and hopes for your sue cess. Very respectfully, etc.

A good and useful member of soc;- ety, an honest and upright man, he was esteemed by large circle of friends who mourn their loss. His relatives can never forget the kind old man, whose life, true to manhood, to himself and to them, serves as an example how life of usefulness can be crowned by serene old age.

tiful Cumberland, spanned with it's mao. nlf1cent suspension bridge, sweeps by as in days of yore. Just above the city, is the Hermitage, where rest the mortal remains of the " hero of New Orleans.' Here in the midst of the city, near the capital, stands the mansion where once lived Pre- sldent Polk, and hard by, is his tomb.- here, that great statesman, Thos. H. Ben ton' flrst began to show forth his iron will and future greatness Twas here, too, that Felix Grundy, the Napoleon of the Ten nessee bar in early times, lived, and swayed the multitude at will, with his silvery elo- quence.
 Nashville, I think, is something larger than Memphis, but it is not improving like the latter city. They are two sisters, claim Ing thelr maternity from the great common wealth of this noble State. Nashville has become the staid and sober matron, smiling upon her rising progeny Memphis is now the dashing belle, the observed of all ob- servers, now playing the coquette with St. Lous, now holding dalliance with Charles ton, and now, casting wishful eye across the waters, to Belgium, and other European localities.
 Yesterday l visited the capital, and look ed at the assembled wisdom of my native State. l spent the forenoon in the House, and the afternoon in the Senate Nothing ot importance was done, or doing The House spent about two hours, in consider Ing whether their clerk should subscribe for the city papers for the members or not Some wanted two papers, some five, some none--at the expense of the State It was humorously proposed to furnish the Chris tan Advocate, Tennessee Baptist, and Ban her of Peace, and a bundle of religious tracts, to each member. After spending about half day on this momentous ques- ton, the resolution was voted down, and so the time was all lost. It is said, that their per diem for that half day so spent, would have furnished them with three pa- pers ench during the session.
 To-day l visited the assembled rascality of Tennessee, in the penitentiary. One of the guards politely showed me through the whole establishment. There are at this date, 376 convicts in this penitcntiary, do- ing the State some service. Of this mum Der, 1 are females. l noticed among the convicts, a lad about fourteen years of age. His tender years excited my sympathies, but these were considerably cooled off, upon being told, that he was once pardoned out, and soon was sent back again. Stealing money was the oHense in both instances.
 We have had several severe frosts here. The weather is now very fne

EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAT-Seeing that newspaper scribbling is the order of the day, presume to send you a word in rela- tion to matters in this part of Arkansas. First, there is the Old Line Democrat, one number of which has reached Hampton, Calhoun county, and l would say, that the prediction of our oldest liners is that it will b. an out and out opposition paper in twelve months. Such has been the case with Bor- land & Danley and such doubtless will be the case with the Old Line Democrat First the cry of family, then into the opposition ranks head foremost. That Hindman's course is disorganizing no democrat among us doubts for moment. He seems to be determined to rule or ruin in the northern district, and there let m remain, for we want no such democrats in the southern dis trict
 Our county is fast filling up with enter prlslng citizens from the older States. and ere long, we confidently expect to rank among the first counties in the State in point of wealth, health and sound demo- cracy.
 Some person writing to the State Rights Eagle, Camden, states that Calhoun conn ty would go for Compton for Governor 1 believe, to express the opinion, that Cal houn county will go for Compton, Hamp- ton, Johnson or any other true or tried de- mocrat that the democracy may put for ward. We expect to be represented in the convention to nominate candidate for Go vernon and be governed by the majority of said convention.
 The people are pleased with the course of Gov. Conway in all his official acts, and proud of him, believing him to be the best Governor Arkansas ever had.
 Fer diemlsts receive no sympathy here. We regard the taking of pay during the recess as high handed plunder, unparalleled in the history of the world. Guardians of the public interest taking pay for ser ,es not rendered.! S

Merriam. one of Browns men at Harper's Ferry who was killed in the instruction, was young man of extensive means, and furnished Brown money and ammunition to carry on the war Redpath says he knew two years ago that Brown intended invading the southern States, but supposed the first blow was to be struck in South Carolina.
