but earnestly desired to apply to the True Demo- crat office, where they will find as good an opportu- nity as they have ever had.
 Il am also charged with having said was " in favor of enforcing the t,co third rule in the Dover convention, because it would defeat Col Hind man, and the majority rule in the State convention, because 1t would be better for Col. Johnson.''- Being democrat from principle, and in favor of the precedents and usages of the democratic party may have expressed myself in favor of the ma
 orty rule in the late State convention because it was the rule which had always been adopted by our otate conventions for nominating candidates for Governor Upon the same principle, may have also said that the Batesville convention adopted the tw0-thi rule in 1858, it would be right that the Dover convention should adhere to the prece- dent MT. Peck was in favor of any rule in the State convention that would defeat it's choice for governor, and opposed to any in the Dover con- ventlon that would result in the nomination of any body but Col. Hindman. Both conventions fol- lowed precedent, but Mir. Peek repudates one and indorses the other.
 am friend to the Johnsons from choice, which MT. Peek seems to regard as crime. The first vote ever cast was for Hon. R. w. Johnson for Congress, in l646, and have never regretted it; in common with thousands of Arkansians, I am proud of it. During my long residence in the State, have never had the opportunity of voting for but two of the Johnson family" which Mr. Peek considers so numerous; but hope to live until the August election, that may have the opportunity of voting for another-the nominee of the demo- cratic State convention. I am also friend and supporter of Dr. Charles B. Mitchell; because I know him to be an unwavering democrat, and a gentleman of superior talents, great experience, and unbending integrity, adhering strictly to the ancient landmarks of democracy
 The charge of my interference in Hot Spring county in behalf of Dr. M., is q reflection upon the intelligence of the gentlemen alluded to as the delegates, for majority of them were and still are, in favor of the election of Dr. M. over , Col. Can't, and 1 did urge them in that visit to Hot Spring county,' to go to the Philadelphia convention, and assert their rights. The citizens of Hot Spring county know me. I was formerly one of them, and have been honored with their confidence and support. I may be condemned and criticised by one of Mir. Peek's courtly bearing and high bred dignity" but am satisfied it will never injure me with the honest, intelligent and high minded citizens of Hot Spring county. l have not noticed MT. Peek for the purpose of engaging in a newspaper controversy, for do not intend to have any with him. I leave him to the comfort of his penviable position as an assail ant and critic upon the conduct and democracy of old citizens of the State.
 Very respectfully,
 your ob't serv't,

 The canvass begins next Monday in this county between the asprants for representative, and other county officers.

The repudiaters of the State convention say that Col Davie, (nominee) must go for Col H. M.

 .sResolued, That in expressing our dissent from and condemnation of the proceedings of said con- venton, we express no intention to make any dis organizing war upon it's nominee, but on the con trary avow that, while we regret said nomination and regard it as unfortunate for the peace and har

GYY- On Sunday, the l7th inst, little JAMES WHITE, aged about years, fell from his horse and in few hours afterwards died from injuries caused by the fall. Little James was the eldest son of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth White of this county, widow of the late Samuel A. White. He was a very sprightly boy, of much promise, and in his death widowed mother has been suddenly deprived of her greatest earthly hope and pride. Most sincerely do we sympathise with her in the aflicting dispen- saton ef Providence, and trust that the weight of this distressing blow may be raised from her crush ed heart

Hindman has denied that redress which all gentlemen are entitled to for so great an offense, stating, through his friend. Mir. IF Johnson. that we are not equals. There is a slight inequality between in age but none in in | tegrity. The blow placed us equal as gentlemen, and no one but bully would strike another cow ardly blow, and none but coward would would at tempt to eld:himself behind his brief anl fettng congressional honors He has skulked behind these honors, thereby refusing me the redress af forded by the code of honor, and he must necessa. rily abide the consequences of his course.

OFFICE OF RECEIVER REAL ESTATE BANK,1
 Little Rock, Ark, June 25th 1860. Messrs. BLACK < BoUDINoT:
 Gents-ln reply to the inquiries contained in your note of this date, have to state that upon examination of the books of this office, 1 cannot find that Col. R. II. Johnson was ever indebted to the Real Estate Bank either principal or securi- ty, or that he ever purchased or owns ahy of the lands mortgaged for stock.
 It appears from the books of the late Trustees that Judge H. M. Rector was indebted to the Bank at the date of assignment, for amount of balance of two accommodation notes, amounting together to the sum of $l 1861 43 which were settled with the Trustees prior to their removal from office; which are the only notes, so far as appears from the discount credit book, in which he was princi- pal.
 As Receiver, 1 sold Judge Rector tract of land, on the 5th April, 1857, which embraced 327 acres of the lands mortgaged for stock by James C. Anthony. A portion of the purchase money paid by him, and the residue by Mir. N. J Can't, to whom he had conveyed the lands.
 Respectfully,
