LIVING ON sONEfs SELF.-Among the curious
documents lately presented to the ACADEMY of
Medicine, at Paris, under the head of new inven-
tions, was one with the following title De 2 Alt-
tophagie Sp6ntanfe et Artlfcieue What would the
reader suppose lay under this title Nothing less
than an exposition of the manner of living on
ones self; or, In other words, eannabalism re-
duced to civilized and humanitary institutioni
The world has already learned how to live upon
one another let US see how M. Anselmier, the
author of the treatise in question, proposes that
man should live off his proper SELF. He suppases
that man is lost at sea in d boat, and without
provisions, and he then, in his argument starts
from the principle that the body, deprived Of
ailments, nourishes itself as long 1t at the
expense Of its proper substance. In proportion
as this substance diminishes the interior tenn
perature of the body diminshes until death ensuea.
He proposes to combat the consequences of ina
milton by practieing light hleedngs from the
body and drinking the blood. He tried the ex-
pertinent on two animals Of the same age, and
| the same size and condition. He deprived them
both of oil nourishment; the one died in the
usual period from starvation, the other which he
bled and caused to drink its own blood, lived
several days longer than the first. From this M.
| Anselmier draws the conclusion that the system
would be useful in preserving the lives of chip
wrecked individuals to such o point as to in.
crease immensely the chances Of being saved

ROUGH TREATMENT OF AN ARTIsT--The special
artist, of one Of the New York illustrated papers,
recently visited Washington; of his objects was
to sketch the interior Of Judge Douglas house.
The Judge was not at home, but the artist as he
sat in the library, pulled out his sketchbook and
commenced taking notes. But his occupation Was
interrupted by the entrance of the Judges mother
in.law, who peremptoriy ordered "Crayonn to
leave the house. The poor artist attempted to ex-
plain the nature Of his mission, but the lady dis
dained to listen. Taking Crayon by his arm, she
escorted him to the front door, and to accelerate
his departure placed her hand upon his shoulders,
and landed him at once in the middle of the street.

Congressional Canvass.

Cheering news comes to us from the gal lant Southern District. The "old war
 horse" is everywhere greeted with enthusi- asm. The islanders that had preceded him, and the high-hown compliments which had magnifed Gantt's milk and water abilities, are all to his advantage, for wherever he goes, Dr. Mitchel's frank face and the warm grasp of his friendly hand will gather the masses to his standard He is the PEOPLES S CANDIDATE, not like the gallant Can't" a mere appendage to the coat-tail of the shadowy Henry M. Rector, but an earnest, straight forward, whole souled speaker, who sticks to the usages and principles for which he has always fought, and appeals to the honest masses for support. And they WILL support him. Read our correspondence from Camden Col. G. is beginning to "hack." Dr. Mitchell will lead him by a large majority. Success to the Swamp Doctorp'

"I hazard nothing in asserting that if Gov. Conway will turn over the bank, with its assets as they existed when he took con- troT of its affairs, to company of men in this State, which can be organized in one months time. they will pay the whole debt of the bank and leave the estate of the stock holders untouched. "- Gov. Roane's Letter. And leaye hhe estate of Me stockholds un- touehedH That is just what the people of Arkansas want, ''the estate of the stock holders" Those magnificent securities in the shape of the rich alluvial soil, in the counties of Chicot, Desha, Phillips, Ar kansas and Jefferson, pledged for the pay
 ment of stock debt. The people take practical common sense view of this matter and think that those who engage in the festivities of the gay dance should by all means pay the musician of the occasion- that those who were not at the party and in no wise participated in its joyous hiliarty, should not be tdred for the enjoyment of others. In other words, all who borrowed money and mortgaged lands by way of se
 culitv, must hold them subject to fore closure. The bank has enough lands mort gagged from stockholders to pay off every dollar of her indebtedness, and it is to this source the people look for the payment of its debts and not by taxation, or the instru- mentality of "a company of men," nor to the genius of Judge Rector, who says, ito originate system for liquidating the banks indebtedness, without direct taxation upon the people, would seem to challenge the most astute financial skill known to ,politi- cal ethics." A company of men have al- ready had the Real Estate bank in hand, and this company of physicians, by their copious blood-letting, were rapidlyexhaust
 ing the life of the patient. The trustees of the bank, instead of appropriating the assets toward the extinguishment of it's debts. an. propriated them in different way, until Coy. Conway came in power and busted them of their office-and ever since then. with remarkable energy and fidelity, he has been cancelling its debts. In proof of this, read the lucid expose, sustained by official records, of bank matters contained in the address of Col. Richard H. Johnson. Any body can organize company of men in Pine Bluff, "in less than one months time" yes,: in ten hours, who will engage to build

SALINE COUNTY, ARK, July 9th, 1860

SALINE COUNTf, hkk., July Jtn, lcOU.
 EDITORS TRUE DEMocRAT-Although not in the habit of writing for the public, I avail myself of this opportunity of dropping you line to let you and your readers know how matters and things are going in this region of country; well, we had bat talion muster Gin the lower portion of the county on Saturday last, when and where there was large collection of the malitia and citizens of the county present, and the ladies God bless them) were in attendance in considerable numbers.
 After the duties of musteSing, dismssng the malitia, etc., over, it was suggested that the candidates for State Senate be requested to ad dress the numerous company; Col. Clayton Hon. Jinmes F. Pagan and Judge Beavers being present
 Col. Clayton was called for and made sappear ance and said that he was the nominee of the Hot Springs convention, and said although it was a small convention he was the nominee, and that he had no relatives in the State, etc, ,the Colonel is very clever man. but only to!erable speaker
 Mir. Pagan then came forward and said that the great and all important issue was the slavery ques- tion, and that he would pledge himself to support the individual he believed to be strongeat in the South, (wonder if it will be John Be) andta al though he had ever been opposed to the democracy, he would vote for good southern man for presi- dent the only question he met was that he was in favor of the reduction of the State tax.
 Judge Beavers then took the stand, and after showing off the Hot Springs convention in it's true colors and convincing even Col. Clayton himself, that it was no convention, and that the democracy would not indorse the action of such thing as that gotton up at Hot Springs, came out in a forcble manner in favor of southern rights, and against Douglas and his squatter sovereignty doc Urine. He then took up the action of the State convention and proved exclusively, that R. H. Johnson was the nominee of said convention, and of right. ought to receive the support of the de- mocracy. He showed that if the delegates to the Charleston convention had any right in said con vention, they received that right from the State

TO THE VOTERS OF THE FIFTH
 JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.

A Card over the name of my opponent which has recently been published in some of the newspapers of the District, requires my hands brief notice
 On no occasion have 1 ever agreed with my op- ponent to make out list of appointments myself, tD canvass the Dstrict-but on every occasion when he requested me to do so, l invariably in- formed him that he had the liberty of making ost and publishing a list of such appointments as he m ght desire to fill, and I would attend them with him. This he neglected to do, until the Both of June, when both agreed upon list of appoint ments, which he gave me to understand he would have published. Two days after. and ten days be- fore our canvass to have commenced, he left Little Rock, where he knew was officially enga aged, and visited the western counties of the district at tending the appointments of other candidates in open violation of the rules and usagcs, as I con ceiye, of candidates after appointments for can vass had been agreed upon.
 Before he left Little Rock, on that tour, noti- fled him that if he made an electioneering tour of that kind, occupying, in that way, the time pcnd- ing the commencement of our canvass, should re- gard 1t aS an abandonment on his part of ap- pointments. This he did, neg ecting to meet me at an. appointment which 1 expected he would at- tend with me, at Atlanta before the opening of our regular canvass. He having on his part as con- sidered abandoned the appointments, II felt at hber- ty to do the same, and on the 9th day of July in a public speech which I delivered at Springfield, in his presence announced, stating in detail my req sons for so doing. This declension on my part was made before our appointments had been published. Some days afterwards he caused the appointments to be published in the newspapers, after he was ad vised of the fact, that had declined to fill them On the same day that declined filling the ap- pontments, l informed him that expected to be at Benton, in Saline county, on the 25th, the day the candidates for Governor to speak at that place where desired to meet him. But few days before, having omitted to attend the appointments in Saline and Perry, he started to Yell county, to attend them in that county, when he had every reason to suppose that would bein Saline at the same time. Now whether the course of my opponent has been of that character to warrant the belief that he preferred meeting me in open discussion at the ap- pontments we had agreed upon, and which he had published in the newspapers after l had declined filling them will not attempt to decide, but prefer submitting the facts for the public to determine.
 Those papers which have published his card will please give this an insertion in their columns Yours, etc, J. L. HOLLOWELL. LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July 25th, 1860.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-07-28
Hon. T. c. Hindman.

This distinguished individual whom we showed up so completely last week, is again at some of his tricks of .jugglery. He ad- dresses letter to Mr. Peek from which we take the following:
 Nevertheless, it shall never be justly said Of me- as it may be said of at least one candidate for high office in our State, that am so selfish and means spirie ed as to insist that men shall vote for me as the nominee, who would not do so other wise.'
 In a speech sometime ago he affirmed that " he would vote for his bitlerest ene- my if he was the nominee" What is the use of nomination if it is not to override personal likes and dslikes? If that doc Urine prevails, nomination must necessa- rilv be farce. Hindman should remember that many democrats will vote for him as the nominee-who could not be induced to do it otherwise. A great many good demo- crats will vote for Col. Cypert, because they consider that Hindman is an unprin cipled disorganizer, who uses the party for his own qualification and aggrandizement.
 This letter is an additional evidence of what we said in our revIew-he stakes all on Breckinrdge-utte again his islander against the True Democrat in regard to the presidential canvass-when his own organ has neper euen to Mis day said a word for Breckinridge and Lane. In the issue of Tuesday 1t developes and retails Hindman's s falsehood-just as we predicted it would debut does not tell us why it sup ports Breckinridge and Lane. Hindman despises Col. Johnson, but at the same time wishes to be on the strong side at this particular juncture. In his address he was careful not to name Henry M. Rector, when it is we'll known that he brought him out. He sees Rector is defeated and now shrinks from him as if his touch was loathsome. He dares not support Rector openly. He skulks under hypocritical address from his pledge to carry his district for Rector. When the Ides of August shall open the eyes of the latter gentleman, he will ana thematize Hindman as his evil genius, his betrayer and assassin. When the northern district, as it will, rolls up for Johnson a majority of 5000, it will be seen and felt how fearfully the throne of Reorganization is trembling.
 We understand that Hindman has be- come alarmed for his own election, that his family has speedily recovered, that he has made list of appointments and goes forth to stay the tide that Is setting in deep and strong for Col. Cypert. Let him look to his own laurels, for he alone is to blame, if, at this late day, victory is wrested from his grasp. He is alone to blame for the alienation of good democrats who have stood by him heretofore. He alone is to blame, if as present indications show, Col Cypert IS the next congressman of the first district.
