A SUMMER IDYL.

The cir is hushed TO holy calm,
A sun-dipped cloud hangs here and there,
And one low tide Of music rare
Falh like sweetly ebbing psalm.
Above, the sun in one bright blaze
Flames down alike on high and low
Creations censor, to aud fro
1t swings and burns in endless praise.
In one vast food Of argent gold.
O'erfiowing psstlre.lan and wood,
1t falls as though the world were good,
, And needed blessings manifold.
And so it does--for just a. fair
Is earth to-day, as when the June
First woke the happy summer tune
That charms the seasons everywhere.
Oh, happy days oh, season sweet
oh, priceless wealth Of rural joys
What though we have no shepherd boys
To trip the hills with bare. brown feet.
Or rose. Tipped maidens rustic clad.
To guard with them the vagrant ilocks;
We have the wales, the woods, the rocks,
~ fair as aught the ancients had.
WkAt sweetness now the sense assails,
While slumber sleeps the soul in dreams
Low murmurOus sounds OF singing streams
Float by, on odor. bearing gales.
The trill Of bird the Groom Of bee,
ThSgaunt dcada's slender reed.
Fot one brief life of pleasure plead,
And universal love and glee.

The Expected War in Europe

The news from Europe, week or ten days ago, led us all to believe that speedy war was inevitable. Each government was actively engaged in repairing and arming forts and places of defense. Troops were marching. drilling and taking positions The founderies, arsenals, dock yards and factories were all in an unusual state of ac- tivitv. But at the latest advices, hostili- ties have not commenced. A peace con gress is to be convened. War is no tri- fling matter nowadays owing to the ad vances that have lately been made in the art of killing. When towns can be bom- barded at distance of eight miles and pro- jectiles capable of killing regiment of men sent with accuracy from an immense dis tance, the ordinary means of defense fail. Besides, in general war, the growing de- mocratic spirit in Europe may lead to the downfall of some of the thrones and the establishment of governments more repub- lican in form. War Is dangerous game for kings to pary now. It teaches the peo- pie their strength and the weakness of their rulers.

AbolitiOuism in Texas.

The Methodist Episcopal church north, have or had conference in Texas. A con. ference we are told embraces several churches and number of preachers. Two annual meetings had been held and resolu- tions in opposition to slavery offered. A late conference was held at Timber creek, in Fannin county, Bishop Jayne presiding The citizens of that county met at Bonham, and appointed a committee of fifty to wait on the conference and warn them to desist.
 The committee reported to a subsequent meeting of the citizens, whereupon resolu, tions were adopted that the upholders oi the society must cease to propagate anti slavery doctrines; that the Bishop and preachers must leave, and that if any of the members of the society attempted to act ur to the spirit of the conference resolutions they must depart within sixty days. The meeting and the action of the peo pie was characterized by frmness, decision and courtesy. Such action on their part now, will save world of trouble hereaf ter

The Fugitive Slave Case in Philadelphia

Daniel DangerGei, slave belonging to MT. Simson in Virginia, was lately ar rested and taken before nincompoop, or corrupt judge, who rejoices in the name of Longstreth, and who, we regret to say, is U. $. commissioner. The identity of the slave. who called himself Daniel Webster, was established by five or six respectable Virginians. The negro had remarkable scar on his lace, which, of itself, was strong evidence. There was no doubt about his identity. At this juncture, three or four worthless free negroes were permitted to swear that they saw the negro in Harris burg, in 1853, and one that he was in Phi ladelphia in 1850. He ran away in 1854. The negro said he was never in that city until brought there by the officers. Upon this evidence he was set at liberty. The fanatics held jollifcation meeting that night which came near breaking up in row. An Englishman named Brewster attempted to abuse the whole country and our laws, and was unceremoniously hustled off. Another meeting was called of those opposed to the illegal action of the commits sioner
 Some of the Philadelphia papers have had the manliness to denounce this outrage in itterms. Southern merchants will have to buy their goods in those cities where their property is not stolen from them, and l where their rights are respected.

INSANE PAUPERs Notwithstanding the act of the 24th January last, provides for the care of insane paupers by the coun- ty, our county court refuses to take care of them. A few days since, crazy man. who had been in confinement for many years, was turned out upon the community. On Monday, a young man furiously crazy. was brought before the county court to have some provision made for his confne- ment. but for some reason this was refused and this man, half naked and wholly cra- zed, is suffered to go at large. The coun- ty is amply able to provide for these men, and 1t does seem to us that public safety requires that care should be taken of them. The people pay taxes and have right to demand protection We are not advised as to the reasons given by the court for its refusal, but certainly they should be weighty ones. Our citizens should see to this mat ter.

Vice President Dallas on Constructive
 Mileage

Mileage.
 We give, this week, the letter of Mr. Dallas, concerning the right of senators to draw constructive mileage It will be seen that the then existing laws of Congress ac- tually provided for 1t. As an attempt has been made to create some capital on this subject and draw off attention from the cer- tifying accounts for per diem pay by the Speaker of the Arkansas House of Repre- sentatives, we publish Mir. Dallas letter to show that there is no parallelism be- tween the two cases. The argument of Mr. Dallas "who is lawyer of no mean repute, and who stands high in the confidence of the democratic party" is worthy of atten- tion as being clear and conclusive
 It will be found to throw light on the vexcd per diem question, which will control politics in our State for years to come.
 Those of the members of the legislature "ho uleW miIeaSe ana alterWaruS drew daily pay during the recess, are Gin bac row for stumps," if the position taken by Mr. Dallas at the close of the third para graph in his letter be correct. He says il effect, their receiving the certificate of the speaker for mileage, without protest, was an estoppel that precluded subsequent claim! Read the letter and you will find why Senator Sebastian and others drew constructive mileage

We never wavered for a moment in our belief that our course would be sustained. We knew it was right, unsel6sh and should be indorsed. And 1t has been. Clubs of five, ten, and more, came day after day, and one of twenty-two and one of fifty In Benton county, the number of new sub- scrlbers exceeds sixty; the number of dis continuances is three. In Phillips county, 1t stands 31 to 4; gain of 27. In but two counties is there falling off. For five days, the receipts from new subscribers ex- ceeded fifty dollars each day, and on one day, over hundred dollars. Moreover, from every quarter of the State, we have letters full of cheering words. Old veter ans of democracy not content with sending new names, bid us God-speed, and offer words of encouragement There never was heartier and more general indorsement of free press by free people.
 If this was done spontaneously by the people, without any appeal from us, what will they do when they know of the despi- cable means resorted to by the allies to de- feat us? We submit these things to the people of Arkansas We have taken their side of the question-have defended their interests and tried to protect their rights. They have nobly sustained us and we are confident that they will continue to do so. We have refused to be dictated to, to be intimidated or to be swerved from the path of duty. From a few dressed in little brief authority, we have appealed to the great body of democracy. Their federal resolutions instead of injuring us will make us 800 more subscribers, and for every one whom they persuaded to desert us, ten others shall come. Their action will gain us a thousand new subscribers. It will not lose us forty And we feel as- sured that when our friends know the char acter of the influences and the motives of the men who are operating against us, they will exert themselves in our behalf- From every quarter they are sending us en- couragement, and we hope they will con- tinue until our list of new subscribers, now counting by hundreds, shall number at least thousand.
