ADDRESS OF HoN. A. RUsr.-On the first page of to-day's paper will be found that portion of Col. Rusr's address to the people of Arkansas, announcing himself a candidate for U. s. Senator, and in re- ference to the rule or ruin" policy of the Johnson Conway faction. Truly has a swift witness presented himself against the Liule Rock junto and all will admit, after perusing Col. R.'s production, that there IS manly frankness in all he asserts. We have omitted that portion of the address which has reference to Fed eral politics. Col. Rust has emphatically gone off with the Douglasites, and cannot hereafter hold any position in the gift of the people of this State. We admire the man and believe him honest, but he has mistaken the bearing of the principles he advocates. We trust the '" sober second thought will restore him 10 the advocacy of true Southern constitutional principles, in preference to Douglas and his Squatter Sovereignty.

HARD CEMENr,-The following cement has been used with great success in cov- ering terraces, lining basins, soldering stones, etc., and everywhere resists the filtration of water. It is so hard that it scratches iron. It is formed of ninety. three parts of well burned brick, and sev. eral parts of litharage, made plastic with iinseed oil. The brick and itharage are pulverized; the latter must always be re- duced to very fine powder; they are mixed together and enough of linseed oil added It is then applied in the man. her Of plaster, the body that is to be covered being always previously wet with sponge. This prscaution is indispensa- ble, otherwise the oil would filter through the body and prevent the mastic from ac- qulring the desired degree of hardness. When it is extended over large surface, It sometimes happens to have flaws in it., which must be filled up with fresh quan. tlty of cement. In three or four days it becomes frm,-CScientifc Americah.

DEATH OF BRYoN's WIDow.-Died, May Is, 1860. at No. II, St. George s Terrace, Regents Park, London, Anne Isabella, Baroness Noel Byron, widow of the late Lord Byron. This lady, who was born in l794, was the only daughter and heir of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, Bart. by the sister and co-heir of the second Viscount and ninth Baronet Wentworth On the death of the other co.heir. (Lord Scarsdale) in 1856, she succeeded to the barony of Wentworth by writ, the wis., county becoming extinct She was mar red to the grea. poet in 1915, but the union, as is we'll known, was a most un. happy one for both the husband and wife. Their only child, Ada, was married to Earl Lovelace, and died in 1852.

TnE MILK IN. THE Cocoa Nur.-It seems that Douglas is not only bankrupt politically, but pecuniarily. From the New York papers we learn that he has already spent over a hundred. thousand dollars in the advancement of his Presi- dential aspirations, and that he has morlg- aged all his estate for the purpose of raising means to operate at Baltimore.
 In the distribution of the corruption fund il Is stated the Cincinnati Enquirer received about twenty thousand dollars, and the Mobile Register ten thousand - We wonder if the big Appeal received its proportionate share? Neighbor did you get the ten thousand dollars offered to usa If you havn't already been paid for your services, it Is high tune you were enforcing collections, as the finn will soon close cut.-- Memphis Avalanche.

The cattle disease has increased to such an alarming extent in Massachusetts that Gov ernor Banks has expressed himself in favor of a special session of the Legislature to take action in relation to it; and although he has not positively decided to call one, there is but little doubt but that he will do so, and that it will be held as early as possible.

The Tennessee Resolution.

There is no longer any hope of re- union of the Democracy at Baltimore upon the basis of what is known as the Ten. nessee Resolution. The Douglas men cannot themselves vote for this resolution without forcing their great Chief to eat .his own words, as he recently declared in the Senate of the United States that MT. Towards proposition was ambiguous, equlvocal and uncertain. The South can- not swallow it because she justly regards il as cheat and swindle of the first water. We have seen good and true men, Democrats. loyal to the South and the Constitution, who have signifed wiling ness to accept the Tennessee Resolution as basis of compromise. For one, we have no compromises to make, because the Constitution cannot be compromised away, and if our friends will give this Janus-faced resolution a careful perusal they will see that it is full of deception. In the language of MT. Douglas, "H bears on its face the evidence That # as 10 be construed in two opposite wings an different sections Of the Union" Here is the spacious resolution, overfowing with duplicity:
 RESOLVED, That all the citizens of the United States have an equal right TO SETTLE WITH THEIR PROPERTY in the Territories of the United States, and that under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which we recognise as CORRECT exposition Of the Constitution of the United States, neither their rights of person nor property can be destroyed or impaired by Congressional or TERRITORIAL legislation.
 This resolution, in round -about-wav. denies the doctrine of Squat,er Sover- eighty, but it furnishes no remedy for the evil complained of. It ignores the doc- Urine of protection. It guarantees the right of Southern man to settle with his property in the Territories, which property cannot be destroyed or impaired, by Con. gressional or Territorial legislation. Such a resolution is no shield to slavery in the Territories, as Douglas denies that slaves ln Territories are property. In Harper's he said:
 s' A slave, within the meaning of the Con- stitution, is person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, not under the Constitution of the United States, nor by the laws thereof, nor by virtue of any Federal authority whatsoever, but under the laws of the particular State where such service or labor may be due.''
 This IS in truth the very essence of the Republican doctrine. It denies the rgh. oi property in slaves, and furnishes an argument in favoro of the odious nulh6ca-

Trouble in the Cherokee Nation-The
 Joneses in Arms.

Just as our paper was going to press, we learn from reliable authority, that the Joneses and their friends are up in arms, and that Andsrson Johnson has been compelled to flee the country, and several others, opposed to Jones, have left or will be competed to leave. A messenger from the nation came down here to warn one, who the Joneses are after, not to re- turn but the man to whom the messen- ger was sent has not arrived, ana it is feared that evil has befalIen him.
 It is said, by those who know, that Joues' party will number 2,500 men. Look out for trouble on your frontier.-- I Fort Smith Times, 24ih ut.
 A correspondent of the Little Rock Gazette gives the following in reference to the state of affairs in the Cherokee Nation
 There are now two leading religious sects in the Cherokee Nation,-th Ba2tists and methodists. The former comprises about eleven hundred members,-the latter fifteen hundred. The Methodists to a man are pro- slavery The Baptists almost wholly aboH- tion. TItis just to say that few true-hearted Baptists have seeded from Jones' dominion and hold firm Southern views. Combining the numbers of the two denominations the amount is 2600. This is by no means the totat number of individuals old enough be church members,-the Cherokees being in this respect very much like white folks-a great many not belonging to any church. But it is known that a large majority of the secular element are earnestly pro-slavery those iden- tifed with the Methodist power would be greatly more than able to overcome all the opposition that now appears so threatening The probability, however, of the present ratio of parties continuing being exceedingly doubt ful, it becomes necessary to prepare for the events whose shadows are so portentously east before.
 The aboiitionists are mostly full bioods who have been taught into their present holding by one Evan Jones, long Missionary among them, fine scholar, and perfect master of their languagae Against his teachings no counteracting influence is available. It is true the Methodist have few native preach CTS; but these proclaim the Gospel and do not intermeddle with the domestic and political affairs of the Nation. On the other hand, Jones' emissaries isist upon the Abandonment of slavery as leading qualification for church membership, and expel for noncompliance.

THE GuBERNAToRIAL CANVASS. The

HE GUBERNAToRIAL CANVASS. The candidates for Governor, Col. REcroR and R. H. JOHNSON, opened the canvass at Springfield, Conway county, on Monday last. We learn from gentleman who heard them, that REoToRs victory was complete. JOHNSON most signally failed in sustaining himself before the people.
 The attempt of the Johnson faction to decry the supporters of Col. RECTOR as disorganizers, is falling back upon them with a crushing effect. They forget that they are occupying the position of the Congressional caucus who nominated MT. Crawford for the Presidency--that Gen, Jackson opposed this caucus and its host of government officals-that he finally triumphed over them and ceansed the Augean stable, thereby inaugurating a new era in reference to conventions and the manner in which they were held and controlled. The government office holders were sheared of their power; the people took the matter into their own hands, and compelled these intermediates to assume their proper position.
 Col. RECTOR is the candidate of the masses, in opposition to the great central power which has its headquarters at Little Rock, and at whose dictuna, since Arkansas has been State, those who wished to hold office, either State or Fed eral, were compelled to bow. The recent State Convention, which attempted to palm Mir. JOHNSON upon the good people of the State, has been proven fraud and a disgrace, and not entitled 10 the name of a Convention. The President of that body is, and was then. Federal oifice- holder. He was warned that the accep- tance of the position would be out of place, and not in consonance with the practices of the Democracy as laid down by Gen. Jackson. Nevertheless he accepted the position, and how we'll he adhered to the !" Johnson clique" is manifested in his having cast the proxies entrusted to him (after the first balloi) for MT. Johnson and contrary to instructions. The nomination of RICHARD H JOHNSON by the late Convention, was even greater outrage than that of MT. Crawford by the famous c Congressional caucus General JACKSON triumphed over national clique .and Col. RECTOR will triumph over the State clique in Arkansas. The Democracy of Ar kansas are willing to be governed by conventions acting in their proper sphere but when these assemblages are used for the benefit of few-when the best talent and wisest heads must submit 10 the man. agement and unsalisfied cupidity of those who possess no merit other than having been long in power-it is full time that the great mass should rise in the majesty of their thougt and shake off the weight of corruption which a glutted and un- worthy combination have too long held in their own hands and used for their own aggrandizement.
