Important from Arkansas.

Little Annie W, of Fayetteville, Arkansas,
writing to her little cousin A., of this city
after telling how brother Claude has had the
scarlet fever in light form-and that "Aunt
Dizzy" (colored cook) has got another baby
and calls it Willie-and Lucy (colored house
brother Percy wants you to be sure to write
to him very often, &c, &C., proceeds, very
unconsciously, to throw some light upon the
sectional excitement of that locality not by
giving accounts of Secession meetings or seiz-
ing government arms or anything of the sort
but in the following simple and childlke
manner: ooh, cousin A., our new house is so
nice. l have got such nice room up stairs
but | have never slept up there yet because
cousin Nelus is gone to the Cherokee Nation
and father has gone to Washington and we
are here all by ourselves and we have heard
that Old Montgomery is coming from Kansas
and he might kill us every one and nobody
ever know anything about it."
Poor little Anniel When we reflect that
Fayetteville is large town, in the midst of
flourishing and populous country, and stu
ated on the Overland Mail route from St.
Louis to San Francisco, and that it has tee-
graphic communication to Washington, we
cannot help thinking that somebody would
find it out sometime or other, if that ugly
monster should come down to kill you
For the benefit Of those Who may have rela-
tives in Fayetteville, or thereabouts, we will
state that we have known little Annie since
she was a tiny baby. She was nervous-to
use mild term-when she kicked her feet in
long flannes. AT two years of age her ex-
uberant imagination peopled every nook and
corner with CORY headed monsters, and every
dark closet in the house was tenanted bv at
least ten runaway "niggers." And now, at
the age of eight or nine, she probably hears
"Aunt Dizzy" or some other equally well in
? formed darkey, threaten some lazy limb of
Africa with, Look here, niggar, if you don
2 look out, dat ole he Bobolitionist, dat Mont
| gomery IL come an git you an fotch you
down to New Orleans and sell you to de cot
ton plantation, shu An he'll kill your
Aassus and Missus an all de family, ceptin'
he gifts you" That would be enough to
frighten Annie out of sleeping in her nice
f room for the rest of her life.
N. b. The negroes in Arkansas have a
great horror of Abolitionists and the senti-
ment is by no means discouraged by the
"white folks"

SILVER LEAD.-A report is in circulation
that rich silver lead has been discovered on
the Ranch of E. Purtyman, in Rough and
Ready township, which is exceedingly rich.
How well founded the report may be We are
at this time unable to say. One thing is GER
tain, an impression is largely prevailing, that
astonishing discoveries of silver ore will be
made in this region before many months
elapse, which shall attract the attention ofthe
world. So says the Nevada Journal

SENATOR DOUGLAS ON THE AcTIoN OF VIR-
GINA AND THE BORDER SrATEs.-Simonton
writing from Washington says: The impor.
tance OF the contest in Virginia, to which
have alluded elsewhere, and which has for
tunately been decided as the friends of the
Union hoped, is shown by the appended note
from Stephen A. Douglas, which he wrote q
day or two before the election TO q gentle
man in Petersburg;
have only time, in reply to your inquiry
to say that there IS hope Of preserving tie peace
and the Union. All depends upon the action
of Virginia and the Border States If tbev
remain in the Union, and aid in fair and
Just settlement, the Union may be preserved
But they secede under the fatal delusiop Of
a reconstruction, fear that all is lost. Save
Virginia, and we will save the Union.

For GovERNoR.-Colonel Benjamin Frank
lin Washington, Collector of the port Of San
Francisco, is not, we are informed, an appli-
cant for re-appointment to that position; and
will probably abandon that office sometime
in next May. But he has no desire to be
idle; he prides himself in serving his country
wherefore, having determined to throw up
the Collectorship for while, he announces
himself openly, We are told, candidate for
Governor, at the coming Fall election; or, for
the nomination to that office at the hands of
the Breckenridge, or united Democracy. OF
course, he is in favor of preventing the elec-
ton of a Senator at this session, first, be-
cause that question entering into the next
campaign, if properly managed, would assist
him. not only in the nomination but in the
election also; and second, in ease of the sue
cess of himself and party, he might have a
chance to come the Latham dodge and hop
out of the chair Gubernatorial into the chair
Senatorial. Then too his friend and patron
the industrious, indefatigable eely politician
Gwin, with all his money, and ali his art
would stand behind the scenes pulling the
wires, to help elect Washington, in the hope
that he could manipulate the Legislature into
the plastic consistency Of pronouncinp for
himself Tor senator again. These two. Doubt
less, are or Will be, together in this matter
and may make quite show in convention

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH I'd.

LECTURE OF WAsHlNGroN.-The lecture by
I. Starr King, last evening, was attended by
one of the largest audiences We have ever
seen assembled in this city. All the seats in
the Church were filled and chairs were pro-
vided in the aisles for person who would
otherwise have been compelled 20 retts
The assembage was a tribute to the meme
ry of the great man who was the theme OF
the occasion and to the genius of the orator.
Eloqueutly was the subject handled and most
impressively illustrated. Secession and trea.
son received their Just dues, and sectionalism,
whether of the North or South was fittingly
rebuked The applause was not frequent
but the effect Of the glowing words, big with
meaning, was none the less manifest The
audience seemed to feel that they were in the
very presence of the majestic character whose
deeds were being commemorated, and whose
life interpreted,
Doubtless, there were some present whC

their very peculiar tastes in the present stat
of affairs. The lecture, if properly under
stood, is entirely free from sectionalism @
partisan prejudice although we doubt no
that it will be charged with having a stron
tincture of both. Be that as it may, the pr,
ponderating sentiment was devotion to II
Union and the whole Union.
We trust arrangements will soon be mac
