u-y It makes but little difference with the pet fac ton Of the democratic party, which is the success tu aspirant for the Presidency-Breckinride or Lincon--as either of them would most likely ac- comphsl the same ends.

gencer is more candid than some of ;ts

gencer IS more candid than some of it's satellites; it says
 Asswe mentioned few days ago that the Iou;s. vile (hy.) Courier conceived it improper for Mr. orecklnrdge to makeformal response to the ouer;os propounded to Mir. Douglas at Norfolk. on tbo ground that he Mr. B.) had no right to add new plank to the democratic platform by assuming to speak authoritatively on the subject of secess;o, We perhaps should state, in justice to that journal .ia' m subsequent issue it expresses the opinion '''a' MT breckinridge hss sufficiently answered the substance of the inquiries in his recent speech TO this effect the Courier remarks as follows in renv to some critical reflections of the Louisville fKx Journal:
 The Journal, with an ability and adro;tnoss worthy oi itself. labors to make something ont of NIT. breckinridge's failure to reply directly to questions which were never asked him If urees that if Mir. Breckinridge before the nmhI;e simply to repel the charge of personal iisunionism
 ms failure to reply to the questions proposed to Mr. DouSas at Norfolk was an omission to avail h n, sell of the only testimony adapted to remove the reproach eliectually.' And why2 Mr. Breckin ridges assertion, without reference to the int aterleS Tn question: it seems to us, ould be quite 0s @fong testimony ds hs assertion a repty thereo and reply to those questions would merely have becn an expression of his own sentiments and would have no more weight. and would be entitled to no more, than his strong and emphatic declayati,n at he IS lree From the slightest tint ofdiloyalat to tie constitution and Union of his country.','
 We have no doubt that the Courier correctly in iels the position of it's candidate on this topic To suppose that he holds any other doctrine than that confessed by Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, and Blu chanan would be to suppose that his political op. mons are held subject to the shifting clamors of the passing hour.

 They start without money, on foot. and their friends, in presence of their immoya. Die resolution, have no resource but resig- nation. Even children are affected by the eontagion, and escape from school to % to Sicily. The case has o o,culr,d at Milan. Turin, everywhere.

The chief of the establishment in forms"the family of the disappearance of the boy; sometimes it is too late. We read last week ina Sieilian journal an advertise mcnt inserted by father who claimed his son. It was coucbed in affecting terms.- The father told his child that he knew he was in Sicily, that he did not wish to nre- vent his remaining there, but that be.de- sired to see him, and to provide him with money, and to this end he made an appoiut ment with him in Palermo coffee honse.

1HE OQAcmTA HERALD ON DouGLAs.- Speaking of the recent speech of Hon. c. C. tarrelly, in Camden, in support of Douglas, the Herald remarks:
 '' He is rather a smooth speaker and ono that uses hne language and nicely rounded sentences, that we were too dnll to see the polnt m, unless 1t was when he denied that negroes were property in accordance with the constitution of the United States. If we did not misunderstood him, and we would not willingly misIeprcsent him on this point, candor forces us to say that the doctrine he preached was certainly short cut to the ends of black republic canism.' We really hope that our ears deceived us this time, and that the Judge or some one of his friends will correct us for really we had hoped better things Douglas and his friends than that whic! we understood to be his position, as state, ny Judge Falrclly, on Thursday night. the constitution of the Unite, States doe. not recognize property, in slaves, then, lame indeed is the position of many of our best and wisest statesmen.

FURTHER FROM HONDURAS. Capture and Execution of Walker


 SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT OF BUpLER. The New Orleans Picayuae of the 27tn ult. says:
 The British steam sloop of war Gladiator Capt. Ilnckly, before reported at the Lsss, arrived at the Quarantine Station yester- day afternoon, where she still remains. with most ot the party she brought up on board. They number fifty seven in all, and are ill excellent health. Two of them, Major Dolan and Capt. West, came up on the Charles Morgan this morning. Thc Gladiator will be up with the rest in the course of two or three days.
 The detailed report of the party on board the Gladiator adds but little to the infor. nation we already have Gen. Walker was shot at s o'clock the morning of the l2th, and buried the same day in the public burial ground.
 None of his friends were present at the execution, or even allowed to communicate with him after his capture. An American, however who was at the time in the town ot IruXlllo, witnessed the execution and afterwards assisted al his burial, the cere- monies of which were conducted by foreign CTS alone, the natives refusing to take part in them.
 This American, who is on board the Gladiator, brings with him portion ci Walkers clothing, and other memorials left by him, which we presume will be hand. ed over to his family.
 1t IS also stated that Gen. Walker before hls execution, wrote several letters to friends in the United States, which were taken by Gen. Alvarez, and by him handed over sealed, to the English commander to be forwarded to their destinations.
 Col. Rudler, Walkers second in com. mand, has been sentenced to four years con tinement in the State Prison at Camayagua
 The rest of the party, about seventy in number, were all permitted to return to the United States. Eleven of them, however were sent home by way of Havana.
 ot Walkers capture, on the Rio Negro we have the following additional from an authoritative source. The party sent ur 's'the river was under the immediate com. mano eeztsapt. Salmon, of the Icarus. On making hls aPfealance, he asked for Gen Walker. General Walker then stepped forward and said he was the .oan. Gapt Salmon then said: "I demand tsset vo, surrender to me immediately" Genersl Walker replied; "To whom do I surren der?" Capt. Salmon said: "To an of ticer of Her Maiesty's govemment."- Walker then said, again: Do understand you to say that am to surrender to a rep TeSentative of Her Britanic Maiesty's gov. enment?' Capt Salmon replied: "Yes. ' Gen. Walker then drew his sword and for. mally surrendered, and was taken on board the Icarus.

Ges- In noticing the speech of Col. E. ". Can't on Saturday evening last at the Theatre Hall, the National Democrat says.
 '' We suppose t to be the worst spcech he eyer made m his life, and vet it was lengthy and broad. and loud. He described broad banners of c C-o- n. gf-e's's s-l-o-n-al protection,' sdark banners' of ms republican allies at the North, red banrers. biue banners black banners, and erav--in fact. be Is worse on banners. than the grouse msn' is on pra ries.''
 The National no doubt found him s.worsc'' on Douglas than was desirable. Sc like wise did the Union-shrekers find him de- cidedly c bad'' on the mum candidate. It IS wcll-known that we did not contribute to the election of Col Gantt but we be- Iieve him true to the South. and so lone ns we find him the bold and fearless exponent oi our constitutional rights that he showed himself Ill his recent speech, we will cheer fully defend him against those who ho,ped to elect him and now turn round and abnse him, because he speaks out boldly for his country's causc We intend this last TO- mark for our know nothing friends.

From Dallas County.

D. PRINCETON, DALLAS COUNTY, ARKANSAS,
 Septc'n6er g, 1860. EDITORS TRUE DEMOCRAT
 "e"ts; On yesterday, the 22d Sept, 1860, the indomitable democracy of Dallas county, raised at frinceton most beautiful flag, l2O feet high, with streamer (sky blue) 24 feet long and feet wide. with the names of Breckinridge and Lane in red letters feet long inscribed thereon. The Aar a'So oehg 10 feet long is seen beautifully floating rom satd pole, With the stars and stripes, and the Ea9te; that lamcdbrd of freedom with outstretched wings, proudly surveying our htppay land as one great brotherhood of States Oh! it is orand spectacle, and the shout of our noble democracv as our ftg was drawn up to the dlg staff, reminded one of the campaign of Polk and Clay in 1874. At night ue had grand procession with beautiful transparancics of every device, and torch linbts which from its novelty in this part of .he country. was greeted by our people with the widest enthu- sasm Oh, it was grand sight. and having marche around the public square, the procession formed in. hollow square around the Breekinrdgc and Lane pole, and sent up three cheers for Brcckinridpe and Lane, that made the wekn ring; after which they marched to the court house where the be4uty of Princeton and vicinity had assemble ed to hear the speaking. The court house was crowded, and the vast assembly was addressed in powerful and effective manner by Judge R. H. Dedman, Wm M Dune, and r. [. Cameron, esq.,; and the whole proceedings passed off to the highest qualification of our friends, and the cause of our candidates was greatly bencltedsby the speaking. You may set down Dallas county as one of the most enthn sasfic Breekinrdge and Lane counties in the State The Bell party inactive and weak here, and as to Douglas, he never has had bakers dozen to show themselves openly in Dallas county
 lluzza for Breckinridge, the constitution, and the just rights of all!

was ready to dc it whenever thev were as. sailed. We may differ in opinion upon a mere question of fact, but the principles of these resolutions he pledged himself he would never betray. He differed with Judge Douglas upon the territorial question. He had differed with other candidates for whom he had voted. When the news of the Bal tlmore nominations reached him he was in the midst of warm contest. He had not seen the official proceedings of the conven- tion winch nominated Judge Donglas; he had not seen them yet. A voice-You never will. The proceedings were meaere and by telegraph, and he relied mon tbe statement of member of the convention and the facts before him.

Texas News.

GREAT RAIN AT BEowNsyJLLr.-Tbe Brownsville Flag mentions another of those sudden and heavy rains which are peculiar to western Texas and north eastern portion of Mexico. The Salado river rose at Guer- TO, Mexico, to unparalleled night Several 1acots near it's hsfyks were swept away, car rying with them Several ranchcros. So rapid and unexpected was the rise that Mexican, crossing the nearly dry bed of the stream near the junction with the Rio Grande, wasainstantly heared to destruc- ton, together with his cart and oxen. It IS estimated that about 1000 sheep were swept away by the food
 LATE INDIAN FIcHT.-We take the fol- lowing from the Civilian, Galveston, of the 24th:
 A detachment of eight soldiers, under Corporal Rutter, of the 2d cavalry short time since in Camanchc county, crossed stream, which was deep enough to swim the horses, and on going up the opposite bank he found himself in an Indian camp The Indians thus surprised, ran fora thicket lower down the creek. The corporal charg- ed with his command and surrounded the thicket. In crossing the creek the ducking had been so general that no more than three or four carbines and pistols would fre.- The continued snapping of the pieces ap- pilsed the. Indians of the condition of the arms, and they forced their way through the men, putting two arrows through pri- vate Jas. Cunningham, who was instantly killed, and wounding two horses, and es- caped on foot in the thickets which lined the opposite side of the creek
 FROM THE FRONTIER A letter from Capt. Mcintosh, dated at Fort Keainey. and addressed to the News, has the follow ing intelligence.
 The troops under my command had a light with a band of Kiowas about 800 strong. The Indians were aware of their coming and prepared for battle; but when 1t came to the pinch they retreated, and the horses of thetroops being much worn down by the long march, they could not do much agalnst the fresh stock of savages. The chase lasted for eighteen miles. Twenty of he Indians were killed, several soldiers I wounded none killed, no officer hurt, four friendly Indians killed and several wound fed Among the friendly Indians killed was our old guide, John; we lamented his loss; he was one of the best guides an d travellers on the frontier
 The chase so broke down the horses that they were obliged to put into Fort Kearney to recruit, after which they were going out again towards Fort Riley, there to take the nearest route to their respective quarters. The Indians they met were a war party. They were not able to find any camp of families; these l think, must have been moved into Mexico early in the spring, or some one of the three expeditions would | have found some of them.
