from their high places-hurled headlong from the official Paradise in which they revel--and made to wander forever in the limbo of political ouicasis. The warning to Belshazzar already .ings in their ears they will soon be mortified at seeing il emblazoned, in fiery letters, on the ban ners of the Old Line Democracy of Ar kansas. As they behold the flaming in- scription, they will read it in their own we'll merited sentence of condemnation; "Weighed, and found wanting"
 They and their vassals pretend that l misrepresent my Democratic constituents in repudiating the anna gamation caucas and that ought, therefore, to resign. If the Democrats of my district do approve the course of that caucus, then 1 frankly confess that 1 do not and cannot reflect their sentiments. But believe the state ment to be foul islander on them and on the Democracy of Arkansas. To test the matter at once, am willing to discuss the issue, this year, in every county in the State, with any nained champion of anal gamalion. Iflhis offer is accepted, 1 will, at each discussion, request the Democrats present to vote on resolutions sustaining the positions taken in the speech I have made here to night. If those resolutioas are voted down at the discussions in ofna- jority of the counties of my distric'' l will immediately resign; on the jus' and ialr condition, that if the resolutohs are adopt ed at the discussions in 3 majority ot the counties of the State. shen the nominee ot the caucus of Nopember 9th shall imme- diately resign his seat in the Senate.
 If my assaiants believe me 10 be in the wrong, and themselves to be in the right, they will promptly accept this proposition. If they are conscious of their guilt and afraid to meet the people, they will decline it. In either event, the Democracy will judge between us. l shall calmly await the verdict.

 of Saturday .Night.
 LOUISVILLE, Feb. 2l.-The Ohio river at this point had been rising rapidly for several days previous to Saturday.
 On Saturday night severe storm prevailed the wind increasing to gale-doing much damage.
 All the Eastern telegraph lines are prostra- ted in various places, and no dispatches have been received over the lines from New York oi Cincinnati, since Saturday, and up to 9 o'clock this (Monday) evening, there has been nc communication by telegraph east or west from this city.
 There is great freshet here. All the eel lars on Water street are full of water. On the Western portion of Water street the waters IS five or six feet deep on the lower floors of the buildings.
 The Third street bridge is five feet under water. The Secoud street bridge IS submer- ged, the water just washing over it.
 The river is still rising, but more slowly.
 The water has risen to greater height thar has been known during the past five years, and has done consld lderabe damage to merchandise stored in cellars in the lower part of the city.

Congressional Proceedings ngs-Acquisition
 ofCuba.

WAsHrGroN, Feb. 21.-In the Senate to-day the Consular and Diplomatic bill was recon sdered, and the debate upon it continued
 Mir. Mason offered substitute, in the form of resolution, to the effect that Congress ap- proves the policy set forth in the Presidents message, as to the ultimate necessity of the acquisition of Cuba, but that Congress confines itself to the declaration that the United States is prepared to receive Cuba whenever Spain will sell the Island.
 The resolution further declares that the United States would never be neutral under any policy which would sever the Island of Cuba from Spain and place it under the infu- ence of any foreign power
 This resolution is believed to embody the views of the Administration.
 Mir. Siidelps thirty million bill was dis cussed at some length, when the Senate ad- journed.
 In the House the proceedings were unim- portant.
 The Army Appropriation bill was passed.
 The Post-otfce Appropriation bill was also under consideration, and discussed at some length.

 White river is now in fine boating order steambots running to Buffalo City, and will continue, according to past history, at least until the middle of July.
 It is unnecessary for the proprietor to say anything in praise of Buffalo City. The fact of its meeting with such continued bitter op position from other points and places, is some proof, at least, that it is THE PLACE, THE POINT for city, in fact. Go see the site, and the extensive country and lapid improvements; view the Buffalo Shoals. examine the maps of the country, enquire of old citizens. Pay no attention to those who are actuated by self interest, or dislike to see others prosper, and you will surely be convinced that Buffalo City at the foot of the Buffalo Shoals, on Upper White river, in Arkansas, is des .ined to be, in reality, what 1t is by name.
 P,rsons desiring to purchase Lots, at pr- vate sale, can do so by applying to B. TuS- STALL, Agent at Buffalo City, or the under signed at Des Arc, Arkansas; either of whom have magnificent maps of the city.

or the Des Arc Citizen.

J
 Mfr. EDIroR :--I have quietly read the True Democrat since the meeting at Des Are, in reference to the removal of the Capitol, and have noticed the resolutions of several little tone horse towns" which were evidently intended as burlesque on Des Are, and friendly 10 the Capitol's re- maning at Little Rock. There is noth- ing clearer than that the True Democrat intends by publishing the proceedings of these little cross-road meetings to assist chem in their designs.
 They fear Des Arc-they see her glo- " in the luture-they know she has the ability to comply with her propositions, and that there Is much danger of the Cap itol's being removed from the leeches who have been sucking the blood from the vi- tals of the State, To these many years.
 The fame of Des Arc as commercial point and a growing town, is being her aided to every portion of the State. Her population Is increasing more than fifty per cent. per annum. In few years she will be the largest town in the State, and she is already commercially so. Well might Little Rock burlesque Des Arc, and try to keep her down. She is formida- ble rival-shipping her eight thousand bales of cotton, and selling near million of dollars worth of merchandize-com handing a trade from Liltle Rock, and several hundred miles above on Arkansas river.
 You can't keep Des Arc down, gentle men. The God of nature has done too much for her-she has perpetual naviga- ton and rich and fertile soil surround ing her on every side.
 Run your railroad through Grand Prai- rie, twenty miles from any pace-get your forty thousand dollars from the State -use your influence to defeat the Des Arc Dardanelle and Fort Smith Railroad bill--but you can't kill Des Arc
 The doom of Little Rock is sealed - One Legislature, and no more, will as- sembe there. Senators and Representa- lives who have been led by the nose, and their votes controlled by "ousde. pres sure" will be left at home, and men who dare to think and act for themselves will be sent Tn their stead. Many an honest man has been sent to Little Rock, who desired to make good and wholesome laws, and the first thing he knows, to use quaint phrase, <" he knows nothing" The future history of Arkansas will, per haps, reveal a few things on the subject of Banks, Swamp Lands, Sc.

 Cor. T. c. HINDMAN's SpEEcH.-We pubish,to the exclusion of our usual varie- ty, the speech of Col HINDMAN at Little Rock, on the 18th ult We invite a care- fui perusaI of this effort of the Colonel's believing that it IS replete with truths in which every true friend of the doctrine of State Rights is deeply interested, not only in Arkansas, but throughout the South. The course of those who pander- ed to oinauences outside of the Democratic ranks to secure their ends in the caucus which nominated MT. SEBASTIAN for the U. s. Senate, are shown up in style WIliOI IL To dliuCNCSooiJ " uPOL the whole management is unravelled and delineated by master hand We maintained before the meeting of the Leg stature that none but Democrats should be permitted to sit ia caucus and aid in nominating the candidate for Senator. Had this correct rule have been adhered to, and MT. SEBAsTIAN's election secured thereby, no complaint would have been heard; but as it is, the Democracy ol the State have good reason to complain, and the proceedings of the caucus of the 9th November, 1858, show the men upon whom the responsibility rests. Let their constituents take them in hand, and de- mand recantation of their errors, and should they refuse, leave them at home, and send men to our Legislative halls, who will not barter their principles for the sake of electng favorte to the U. 5. Senate. NJ

MY IIyactnth.


Through the sombre, sad November,
We for sunshine watched In vain,
Hoping still, until Decembor
came in clouds, and mist, and rain.
Roses and geranums budded.
Dreaming crpdulOusly with me
or fair days, with sunshlne flooded,
When IN blossom they should be.
a,Ill the dark DAYS passed unlighted;
Drepr December came aud went;
And each green bud slowly bfghted,
It's bright dream In darkness spent.
Then I said. "why look for roses
Meath his cloudy winters sky1
Only summers hand uncl"ses
Summers blussoms--let them die!
Yet could not Danish, wholly,
Hone, tor, tho The fest hnd died,
In ITS glass my hyacinth slowly
drew, "A nj adverse SKIES donod.
Fed with water, water only,
Every day u lifted up,
FROM those mystic depths and lonely,
LIN another folded cup.
stu I said, "Thls Is no season
For bright huos, sweet scents. ! ween;
l.thoy bloom thus, without reason,
Every blossom will he green
Sec them now, bright, rosy.tinted;
Mucking all my rtthless gloom;
with their breath the air Is scented
See my hyacinth IN 6loOm'
Deeper pleasure they have brought me

Sweetest lessons they have taught me,
Meath these grey skies blussnnihg.
