Letter from Gen. Geo. w. Clarke.

VAN buren,, Ark, Feb. ], 1860
j. S. DUNHAM:
SIE-I cannot reply to the article of s.
S. Calhoun, published in the Helena State
Rights Democrat, of 10th JAN last For
tunately for me, my record of twcnty-seven
years residence in Arkansas and Kansas,
places me infinitely above the vilifcation
of a mercenary adventurer.
But it is due, however, to my friends,
that l should make the following explana-
ton: My communication in the Day
Book, to which is referred, was intended to
show that Calhoun would readily impose
upon an individual whom he might suppose
accidentally occupied an inferior social po-
sition. The language was Intentionally
severe. and in connection the editor of the
Note Book was instructed to furnish nv
name, if it was demanded.for the purpose
of obtaining personal satisfaction. 1t
seems that my namss was obtained, after a
correspondence with Mr.. Key
But it appears by the subsequent course
of Calhoun, that after having obtained my
name, he retracted from his first position,
and only seeks satisfaction by resort to
newspaper reeriminatton, which, under the
circumstances, | viii not engage in. If
that mode is congenial to Calhoun's chiv-
airy, Or compatible with his "code - or
that his wounded honor can be amelioratcd
by that kind of satisfaction he is heartily
welcome; and thus leave his case where
he has placed it-before the public

NIBLO'S GARDEN.
MIR. FORESTS APPEARANCE.

The announcement of the appearance of MIR. Edwin
Forrest after retirement from the stage of four years.
was sufficient TO attract an immeDse crowd TO this
Tbeater last night. At very early hour all the posi-
biiiies Of obtaining seeiug hearing were ex-
hau,te6 The seats were filled aud the aislss, stairs
end lobbies crowded with enthusiastic hrong. Tne
Appearance of NJ. Forrest the signal for great
shout of JOY for much cappng of hands and stamping
Of feet and for perfect storm of every noisy dem
stIation Of delight k1 own to an excited crowd Surely
no act u has ever rece.v Fl New York audience
a warmer welcome than did Mr.. Forrest last night.
The play was Hamlet; never, TO our view, one Of
Mr. Forests bsppiest presentations, and we do not
observe any material difference between the Hamlet OF
last evening and the one of five years ago. We re-.
mark DO dimnution of the physical muscuarity of the
ee6an nor is any abatement of HE some what too
earnest vigor perceptibe he u.s. in every regard, the
Forrest who years ago capvated he affections Of the
American masses, and who has stood fret in their
hearts ever since.
Tie support rendered by the company was of the
most efficient the fine reading Of Mr.. Fisher as Polo
MUS being subject for the enthusiastic admiration Of
all who can appreciate true artistic merit Madam
Ponisi az the Queen was dignfed and forcibe, and
Mrs. Conway, se Ophelis was acceptable. Mersr5
Fenno as Laertes, Carroll the King, aud Conway as
the Ghost were all well received.
Tie manager has done mach to give the mechanical
illustrations Of the play their best effect. All The
scenery is new having been painted expressly for tb'
occasion by Messrs. Hillyard aud Smith, @ho have
done themselves Justice, aud meIited new praise Ii
the way of dresses and decorative acc mpauments,
little is left 10 be desired An Introductory overture
arranged 10y Mr.. John Cooke, introducing variety OF
tie music that has been written for the songs OF
Shakespeare, was received with much appliance.
This imaginative peri Tmance of Mr. Forests pro-
gramme was, in point Of enthusiasm a triumph, aud
in the matter of money to the treasury, golden bar
