Reconciliation of Messrs. johnson
and Hiudman

We have been favored by a friend al
Washington, with slip from the Consti
tutioa, of that City, Of the 23d ult.. con-
tanning the gratifying intelligence that the
difficulty pending between Senator JOHN
son and Col. HrSpxAS. has been amicably
adjusted The friends Of botn parties will,
doubtless, he more gratified at this termina-
tion, than if they had gone to work, each to
rid the other of his life The sequel to this
adjustment should be a general shaking OF
hands all round 1t is time that the lesser
lights should display less beligerancy. since
the principals and those who are most in
terested can see no cause for hostilities.
Come gentlemen editors and correspondents,
hands round I" and .' balance" amicably.
The following we copy from the Consti-
tuition:
We are sincerely rejoiced to find from a
card published l.elow, that the difference
existing between Senator johnson, of Ar
kansas, and Hon. T. c. Hindman, of the
same State, has been amicably aud honora-
bly, adjusted.
The many friends Of these two honorable
and distinguished democrats will learn with
pleasure that all ground of misunderstand-
ing between them has been removed by the
able mediation of Hon. Robert Toombs and
Hon. Roger a. Pryor.

Several of the Directors of the Little
Rock AMI Fort Smith Railroad Co., will
leave for Little Rock on the steamer Leon
to attend the convention of the Directors of
the Little Rock and Memphis, and the Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Com
psnies, to be held at Little Rock on the 10th

The object OF the convention is to trv
and unite the two companies under one or
ganization. We hope something will be
done that may be of benefit to our Railroad
interest in the West. and also that they will
give an expression of public opinion as re-
CARDS State aid to the projected Railroads
of the State. The West is for aid to all
Railroad enterprises, politically and in ev-

Hon. Thomas WALDEN, Mayor elect OF
our City. received serenade from the Brass
Band last Tuesday night. The Mayor elect
was fully prepared to receive his friends, at
least if baskets of champaign and flowing
bowls of eggnog are counted in the list of
preparations. The Mayor and his amiable
Lady dispensed the hospitalities of their
mansion to the qualification Of all present
-mirth, hilarity and the strains of music
from the Band were kept up until the small
hours admonished all to depart.
Speaking of the Band, reminds us of a
word we wish 70 say to its friends. We
with a friend dropped in to their room the
other evening, where we found room
full Of spectators. 1t did not occur to us,
until then, how embarrassing it must be to
the members of the Band, to have company
during the :time they were receiving their
instructions. If all of the friends of the
Band think as we do. they will hereafter,
for the present at least, give them clear,
quiet house.

EJ- Washington Irving at a party in
England, one day, playfully asserted that
the love of annexation which the Anglo
Saxon race displayed on every occasion,
proceeded probably from its mauvause hon
te rather than its grcediness. AS proof,
he cited the story Of bashful friend of his
who being askcl to dinner party, sat
down to the table next to the hostess in a
great state of excitement, owing to his re-
cluse life y few glasses of wine mounting
to his brain, complctcd his confusion, and
dissipated thesmall remains of his presence
of mind. Casting his eyes down, he saw
on his lap some white linen.

my SHIRT protruding at my waistband ~
He Immediately commenced to tuck in
the offending portion of his dress but the
more he tucked in, the more there seemed
to remain. At last he made desperate
effort. when sudden crash around him,
and n scream from the company brought
him to his senses
He had been all the time stuffing the ta-
BILE cloth in has breeches, and the last move
had swept everything clean off the table

the man himself requires that should state
that he seems to envite no such relations.

TIE NORTH WEsT.-Hon. S. S. Cox, O!
Ohio, in his speech in the House on Thurs
day, thus alluded to the Northwest
When you come to the great North
west you find one million one hundred and
sixty-two thousand voters in seven States.
This a hundred thousand more than all the
votes in the South, one-third of the whole
Union, and three timesas many as New
| England. ! believe sir that more than one
half of these votes will be cast in 1860 for
the Democratic party, for the rights of the
| States and the permanence of the federal
concord. You will find thoss voters warm
in favor of the Union and the Constitution,
which is the only ligament which hold
that Union together. You will find this
attachment not merely in our party, but
among the very men who Voted for my
friend Mr.. Corwin and many of the Re-
publicans upon this floor. Look to the
great Northwest, and to its power as it is
now, and as it will be. She has lake and
a river tonnage of four hundred thousand
tons. and five thousand miles OF river and
lake coast. She has, and must have ever,
the Mississippi river as her outlet. Has she
nothing at stake? She will be able to
protect herself and the Union besides. In
1860 she will have as many Representatives
upon this floor as the whole South will then
have, and three member to one from New
England. You will find in her a conser-
vative element which will say to the North,
with its extremists. and to the South, with
its extremists, ''thus far shalt thou go, and
no further here shall the waves of disunion
be stayed - You will find in the North
west q conservative element which, if we
have the Cincinnati platform unaltered.
will rise up to the support of the Demo-
cratic party. as the only safe repository of
that constitutional power by which this
Government is to be carried on"
