FRAUD.-We learn, much to our aston- ishment, that printed resolutions were shown around at Brownsville, at the Praije county convention, purporting to come from Little Rock, and of course the pro- duction of the "Little Rock Junto," or perhaps the offspring of 1Nr. Tal5ot's fertile brain. At any rate the impression ~vas credited that said resolutions were sent out from this place, and were referred to by hypocritical demagogues as another in stance ofthetyranny and dictation exercised by the " family" We call attention to this little political trick merely to denounce 1t as fraud, and to enquire of the papers at..Brownsville and Des Arc, if such resolu- tions were exhibited, who by, and what were their import? Eg- Please send us copy of the resolutions.

Superlatiye Ignorance

The Old Line Democrat claims for Judge Rector's bank policy the charm of "nov- city" This is quite an unfortunate dis play ofignorance and justi6es the old maxim that " 1t Is never too late to learn" The identical scheme has been mooted in this State before, and was then treated by the legislature, as it deserved to be, with con tempt.
 A large majority of the bonds are held by the Secretary of the United States treas ury and the following extract from a letter from that officer years ago will show what we have already asserted, that every part of the would be- thought new plan is i'm practicable. The secret history of the er- humation of this financial mummy is de- cidedly rich. But here is the letter:

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, October l4th, le52} | Sir: In reply to the inquiries presented for my attention in those portions of your letter of the 9th uiimo which relate to certain investments in Ar kansas State bonds which are held by the Secre- tary of the Treasury in trust on account of the Smithsonian Institute, have the honor to trans init herewith statements.

THE Two CANvAssEs.-Ou reports from both Johnson and Mitchell are encouraging. Johnson is everywhere triumphant Bets are in his favor, giving any number of votes desired. Mitchell is showing the old pioneer pluck. The "old warhorse" " of democracy will leave very gaunt the "gal- lant Can't" as he is called in the eupho- nious verbiage of the Old Line Democrat.

reached home last Saturday evening in time to hear Col. R. H. Johnson close his speech here he closed with much applause-his efforts lost him no friends. and certainly made many. On leaving the court house heard many remark, |" that is the doctrine; and one said he came here that morning preiudiced in favor of his competitor, but could see and was for him (Johnson,) that his policy was the true one.

Obituary.

DIED-At the residence of the late Rev. Cephas Washbourne, HENRY CEPHAs, only child of Henry E. A. and Maggie H. W ashbourne, aged one year and half. His disease inflammation of the stomach. He was taken i'll on W ednesday, 18th inst, and died on the Saturday following, 10 min utes after six o'clock D. m. His suiferings were the most intense All was done that could be done by kind attentive physicians, tender friends and fond devoted parents, who hung about his pillow with crushed, agonizing hearts. But God came to his relief. He was a sweet, handsome, lovely boy, a comfort to his parents, great solace to his aged grand mother Washbourne, recently called to mourn the loss of her partner in life, her darling, gifted son Edward-the artist. Little Henry when he saw his grand ma weeping for beloved and lost would go and put his little arms around her neck as if to sooth her aching, widowed sorrowing heart. He was comfort-the light of our desolate home- stead He has gone to his Grandpa and uncle Edward to suffer pain no more. His sweet inno- cent prattle will greet our ears never more. The Lord gave md the Lord has taken away, blessed be the His holy name." w.

 BY THEIR SINCERE FRIEND. He is gone, he is gone, from this humble hearth, He is gone to the skies-he's no more of earth, He is Heavens bright visitant now. His bright eyes no more beam upon me- He was destined mnistering angel to be, white robed saint with the blessed. Ye angels make way in your glorious throng, Ye cherubms awaken the heavenly song, For the sweet babe is called to his rest. As Heavens great attribute mercy mild, To little JoNNY LYMAN Heavens own child, Sent while on this earthly sod. But his mission is done and in realms bright, He shall shine like the stars with the children of light, And sit near the throne of his God.

Elliott Dr. Hamilton will supervise the literary, and Mir. Malone, the board ing house and financial departments. The faculty is one of the best and ablest in our country The prices are from 9 to 50 per cent less than other schools of equal grade and style, because we are content to barely meet expenses until ours can be fully brought before the public and appreciated as school of the very first class.

W. L. V. Simpkins presents his compliments to the public and offers his services writer and composer. At few hours notice he will furnish odes, poems, songs, sermons, political articles, public sentiment letters, in sad or gay, sober or highialuton styles to suit the tastes of his en- ployers. As an evidence of his ability, Mir. s. sub. mits the following original specimen:
 Would.
 Oh! would drink with any friend
 Whether he drank or not
 And eat when l am hungry too,
 If no other shared the pot.
 Id clasp hand if soft and warm,
 Tho it didn't return the shock
 And love any sort of female form
 That was mt made of rock
 I'd worship eyes, if soft and bright,
 And beautiful to see;
 No matter what sort of dreams had
 Or what had for tea.
 Any lady or gentleman of poetical turn of mind will not fail to detect the delicacy, pathos and sen timent in the poem. The following style of let ter will be in demand at this time: Grand Demonstration!-Th People Wide Awake!l-Tallest kind of Enthusiasm!M Rector Triumphantly Triumphant!!!
 WARREN COUNTY, ARK, June 3l, 1860. Dear Old Liner: The candidates for Governor appeared to-day and addressed their fellow citizens according to appointment. Col. Johnson led off in q long speech but assure you nobody listened to it. Indeed, while he speaking noticed the persons present swapping jackknives, playing seven up and otherwise amusing themselves But when the tall, majestic, manly, noble form of Farmer Rector arose you should have heard the shouts The cannon boomed, the men huzzaed, the women capped the children yelled the dogs barked the cocks crew, the hens cackled, the COWS lowed and sheep plated. There was a tremendous excite ment. As Rector proceeded the interest grew stronger. Strong men yeded, several ladies faint i, @ and had to be carried out. He was freuuently interrupted with bursts of applause and, at it's con- clusion, borne on the shoulders of the crowd to the hotel. At night the Warren county band serenaded him. Poor Dick Johnson locked him self up in room and crawed under the bed- Dick is nowhere. He will not get vote in War ren county. Rector will get every one. The fire is spreading; the ball is rolling; the whrlwnd is gatherings the tornado is increasing, the torrent is pouring, etc., etc. FEENICKS. Terms moderate. A cent line is the usual charge.
