COLONEL FREMoNTs' PROSPECTIVE
WEALTH. 1t is not generally known
how extensive are the works of the
Fremont estate in California. A late
San Francisco journal says there are
now seven quartz mills in operation,
and adds:
The average yield of these mills
recently was over $40 per day each,
over 50, 300 per day collectively, and
nearly $40, 1000 for every eight days
run ! The last eight days. product
reached $18, 996 81 in gold bars, which
arrived in this city on Monday last.
The gold we understand, is pretty
evenly distributed throughout the
quartz, so that that there is no likely
hood of much fluctuation in the yield.
At this rate the Colonel will be entire
ly clear of all his complications in the
course of two or three months, and
then he will commence to realize near
million dollars per annum or Count
ing it at that rate exactly $2,575 "a
every day of the year.

The Presidential Campaign.

By closely scrutinizing the indices of the times, reading our exchanges, and watch ing the political manifestations in various States, we are prepared to hazard an opion- ion on the result Every thing indicates that Douglas and Johnson will carry the northern democratic vote, Oregon and per- haps Pennsylvania excepted. Breckinridge and Lane will carry the South almost as a unit Missouri will probably vote for Douglas. Oregon, California, Pennsylva- mia, united South together with the pow CT of the administration in northern States may force, not only the Douglas men, but the Union men of all parties to support Breckinridge. Marshall of Kentucky has deserted the palsied standard of Bell and Everett, and those of the opposition who were momentarily sanguine are beginning to ask with Falstaff, when outwitted by the Merry Wives: "Have l lai' my brain in the sun, and dried 1t, that 1t lacks matter to prevent such gross overreaching as this?'' They seem astonished that nobody rallies to the ring of the Bell. We believe that in this, and most all of the southern States, Breckinridge can beat Douglas and Bell combined. All parties at the South should and will rally on Breckinridge.
 Newspapers as general thing reflect the sentiment of the country. The leading papers of Virginia-Richmond Enquirer and Richmond Examiner included, support Breckinridge-about seventy out of seven tyfve papers for BreclSinridge.
 In North Carolina Douglas has some strength, but the leading papers are for Breckinlidge-the Raleigh Press, Whining ton Journal, Salisbury Banner and others. In South Carolina all the papers are for Breckinridge. A majority of the Georgia papers also support him. In Alabama, the Mobile Register, an able paper, sup ports Douglas, but the odds are largely against him. The Mississippi press de- clares for Breckinridge. The True Delta, Soue's organ, the Memphis Appeal, the Louisville Democrat and the St. Louis Re- publican support Douglas, but they are not supported by country papers. while all the other leading organs are against them. The papers of Arkansas generally support Breckinridge Florida will go for him also, and so will Texas unless Houston carries it. Maryland is divided about equally between the trio, Douglas Bell and Breckinidge-with indications favorable to the latter. This is correct summary and shows that Breckinridge is the strongest man to pit against Lincoln. He may beat Lincoln-no other one can.

clone Lorn Creetur.'

Like Mrs. Gummidge in David Cop perfeld," the editor of the Old Line meek ly submits to the hardships and trials of life, and suffers Hindman to pull him by the nose, and Judge Rector to snub" him, simply and solely because he "professes to be free and independent journalist He believes so strongly in the liberty of the press, that he quietly looks on while his friends amuse themselves with the pedal ex- ercise of kicking him about like foot ball. He must have wonderful fund of good nature to suffer with such meek and lowly spirit his own Achilles, the " farmer of Saline," to place upon his fair name throughout northern Arkansas the brand of infamy. Whenever Col. Johnson or any one else, whether friend or foe, inn peaches our honesty and integrity, we will vindicate our independence as journalists and gentlemen by giving it the lie.
 The Old Line Democrat says:
 "We are, unlike you, thank Heaven! dependent for our existence upon the nod of no man, clique or dynasty"
 How amusing!-dependent on no man! What wonsan then is the richly endowed owner of our cotemporary? Your assertion is strangely inconsistent with the reported

Peek Endorsing Douglas Freeport
 Speech.

So soon as Douglas delivered his Free port speech in Illinois the national demo- crats charged him with changing his sentiments, and uttering doctrines contend ed for by the republicans. The repubi- cans also said Douglas had changed his colors, and was trying to steal their thun- der to ride into office upon. That the readers of the Notebook may have an opportunity to see the most obnoxious portion of that Freeport speech we copy 1t below. This same extract was published by Peek in the Bloomington Statesman, of the 18th of October, and endorsed by him in trying to prove that Douglas had advocated the same doctrine in the com promise of 1S50
 "The next question propunded to me by Mir. Lincoln is, can the people of Territory in any lawful way against the wishes of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State Constitu ton? I answer emphaticaly, as Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times from every stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the PEOPLE OF A TERRITORY CAN, BY LAWFUL MEANS, EXCLUDE DESLAVERY FROM THEIR LIMITS PRIOR TO THE FORMATION OF A STATE CONSTITUTION. It matters not WHAT THE SUPREME COURT MAY HERE AFTER DECIDE AS TO THE ABSTRACT QUESTION WHETHER SLAVERY MAY OR MAY NOT go into Territory under the Constitution, the people have the lawful means to
 introduce it or exclude it as they please, for the reason that Slavery cannot exist day or an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by local police regulations Those police regulations can only be established by the local legislature, if the people are opposed to slavery they will elect representa- lives to that body who will by unfrendly legislation effecually prevent the introduction of it into their midst If, on the contrary. they are for it, their legislation will favor its extension. Hence, NJ MATTER WHAT THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT MAY BE ON THAT AB- STRACT QUESTION:, STILL THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO MAKE FREE TER RITORY IS PERFECT AND COMPLETE UNDER THE NEBRASKA BILL"
 Here is combined Douglas popular soyereiqnty, and unfriendly legislation, and even the admission that the squatters have the power to set aside the decision of the supreme court. Peek published this ex- tract in his paper on the 18th of October, and endorses all the odiousisms it contains. The doctrines set forth in this speech wonld deprive the south of all her rights in the Territories, and yet Peek, the editor of the Old-Line Democrat, sanctioned them. This extract shows what hateful measures were advocated by Douglas, and Peek in Illinois, and how completely they would exclude the south from the common Territories. Now fellow democrats, what is this same man Peek doing? He is at Little Rock publishing paper, which IS abusing Col. R. H. Johnson, Gov. Con way, and almost all the old guard of the democratic party. He is supporting self constituted candidate for Governor in oppo- sition to the democratic nominee. This is the chief organ-grinder of the disorgan- izers. They must be in straight for material when they have to import from Illinois.-Nole Book.

 Mir. James E. Nebblett, one of the pro- prietors of the Washington hotel, died re- gently at Hot Springs. He has fallen in the pride of life; young, generous and kind, he "sleeps the sleep that knows no walk ing" Peace to his ashes
 Judge Flannigan, of Arkadelphia, is now on visit to Little Rock and stopping at the Anthony House.
 Hon. Geo. A. Gallagher has returned to Little Rock after protracted visit to south Arkansas.
 Mrs. Pennoyer has, we understand, made definite arrangements for opening the ther- tre at this place early in the fall. She IS general favorite in Arkansas, and we wish her in advance a successful season.

{" A few days after the Dover convention, on the occasion of the first meeting between Rector and Johnson at the State House, Judge Rector did po sitively, distinctly and unguafedly propose to Col Johnson to submit their respectire claims to new convention. and asked Col. Johnson if he would be willing to submit to another ention.-O!d Line Democrat.
 Respective claims! What claims could a democrat have on his party while oppos- ing its nominees? Col. Johnson had no right to submit his claims to a new con- vention. His friends might step forward and offer to do so, as they did at Dover, but he was the nominee { de tacto nominee. even by the admissions of the Old Line, and until his party--not the deserters- moved in the matter, it would have been cowardice in him to have faltered and low cred the proud flag placed in his hand.
 But here is the point-this shows "who is to blame''-this convicts you, sophist, evade it ifyou can. Col Johnson's friends at Dover manifested a willingness to heal the differences in the party--a majority of Col. Hindman' did not. They preferred a bitter, personal, internecine war to harmo- ny and peace. Those who appeal to the sword shall fall by the sword-this IS a Bible truth

.t.tements of Col Hindman at Dover, that

statements of Col. Hindman at Dover, that stock in that concern to the amount of S4,- OoO dollars was owned in the northern, and to the amount of S3, 300 in the south ern district This statement we believe was made to justify the silly resolution censuring the True Democrat which Col. Hindman was engineering through the Dover convention. The argument was this: "The True Democrat should be cen sured for the free expression of political opinions, as it belonged to Johnson & Yerkes, but the Old Line Democrat belong ed to individuals in the northern and south ern district, and Therefore could assail any man or measure that it might be pleased to assail with impunity" Will our indepen- dent cotemporary take the he from Col. Hindman as meekly as it submits to Rec tors charge of fraud? Since you boast of your independence, allow us to ask if you have spent the vhole of the ninety-six dol lars drawn as per diem by Col. Duval from the State treasury, and given you to advo- cate his claims to the United States Senate?
 Our neighbor further says Judge Rector has his rights and duties-so have we. ''- From this premise the inference is drawn that Rector is privileged character and can brand his friends at option as corrupt fraudulent tricksters--provided they are independent journalists" We are both sorry for, and ashamed of our humiliated cotemporary. When we look at the four ish of trumpets and the fulsome adulation which heralded Rector advent in the arena, and now behold the "Cincinnatus of Sa- line' nauseated with the dose, spurning "like a sick girl'' the mawkish sentimen- tality and highfown fattery, we cannot but offer our neighbor the profoundest sym pathy of our hearts.
 "'Twere long to tell and sad to trace,
 Each step from splendor to disgrace.'

CoURTLY WIT.-The Old Liner says "Mr. Black is hired for consideration about his victuals and clothes, with pros pect for crumbs from the legislature. We are under obligations to our neighbor for his patronizing supervision of our interests, but we beg leave to say that we have no expectations from the legislature. We may. however, have some friends in the next legislature, and if we can do our neighbor any service in the way of stoping his mouth with fat office, we will do so with pleasure. His prosperity will cause no feeling of envy in our bosom. We wish every man who is ashamed of honest poverty to become rich as fast as possible, in order that he may cease to look with green-eyed jealousy on every thing in this bright and beautiful world. The conscious ness of advocating the true interest of Ar kansas, in addition to his honest earnings in his professions, editorial and legal. will be to Mir. Black sufficient reward.

A Ward m the Indian Question.

Taunt, and sneers are at best ineffective argumens; they neither convince the under standing nor please the fancy of respect able people; the boy who will point the finger ofscorn at the physical deformlty of his lay-fellow, is no less illmannered' coarse and silly, than the full grown man who resorts to like species of attack upon his oppolent:
 One oi the editors of this paper is ire ouently referred to in the last Old Line Dem' ocrat as the "Indian Boudinot "a mon- orel Cbemkee ''-''ierce and vindictive 1n- dian," who sits upon the tripod of the True Democra, to give vent to the savage propensides of his semi -barbarous nature. y Such language as this, while it proves that our neiglbor is writhing under an expose of the truth we have made Tn his case, also shows the impotence of his blind rage; that he should be violently incensed at us, IS but natural: md that he should wish to return our blows is but human nature; but we as sure him, he has commenced the assault III an impregnable quarter; he never can make breach there, nor throw us the least oil our balance.
 We had supposed that this mode of war fare was about "played out; squad in Benton county undertook to read us out, not only from the democratic party, but from the United States of America; they succeeded badly, and all their ill bred male dictions operated to ohr advantage.
 For the benefit of Mir. Peek who has raised the war cry again, and endeavored to prejudice honest people against us by the cry of Indian, and for the information and curiosity of all who feel any interest in the matter, we will state, that we have Indian blood in our veins, and that we are as proud of it as though it were the blood of princes or of the '..frst .tamilies of Virginio. v We have the blood of the revolutionary soldier who bore to his grave the SCOTS ct hberty, and that of the chieftain, whose blood crimsoned the waters of the Horse shoe, under the command of our own Jack son.
 So much then for our blood; we are inn pervous to all sneers and taunts on it's ac count the battle now raging cannot be w on in such manner; personally we are better known than Mir. Peek, and our character and standing with many of the most re- | spectacle citizens of Arkansas, we are by no means ashamed of
 We are the peer of MT. Peek-his equo con every part of the ground" and we are vain enough to believe that we are in finitely his superior in honesty and gene rosity.

Mr. John H. Price.

In rehecting on the secretaries of the Dover Convention we inadvertently did MT. PRICE injustice; sickness compelled him to resign and Mir. Cause, of Jackson county acted in his stead-he is therefore not re- sponsible for the incorectness in the report. Mr. Price writes us a sensible and gentle manly letter on the subject---our crowded columns along prevents our publishing it We make one quotation in justice to him. and as just rebuke to our neighbor-the Old Line Democrat

Peck Opposing the Lecompton Con-
 stitution.

One of the charges made last week was, that he opposed the passage of the Lecomp- ton constitution. We promised to snh- stantiate the accusation, and now proceed to do so. We copy from the Bloomington Statesman, of September P, 1858:
 "Because Mr. Douglas voted right on the Le. eompton question, and in accordance with the will of at least nine tenths of the people of Illinois, little band of Danite ofiice-holders combined to turn him out of office, to belittle the State and magnify the central power"
 These were the sentiments of Peek in Illinois. While the southern democrats, to q man, were battling for the adoption of the Lecompton constitution, Peek was doing all in his power to prevent its pas saee, He has come down south, and now puts himself up as better friend to the south than Dr. Mitchell and other demo- crats who are natives of Arkansas. In Illinois he had poor way of showing his devotion to the south, by opposing the adontion of the constitution establishing slavery in Kansas.-NoteB Book.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-07-14

Es- It is generally understood that Judge Rector, the disorganizlng candidate for Governor, advocates the reissuring the bonds of the Real Estate Bank. This measure would bankrupt the Treasury and overwhem the State in inevitable ruin, Col. Johnson, wishes all the debts paid when due, and the credit of the State stand at par abroad in the commercial world. If Judge Rector should be elected and Legislature endorsing his views, the State would be involved in debt which would amount to millions of dollars, and the poor people would be assessed with taxes which would be intolerably burth- ensome.-Note-B Book.
