ASoTHEE TRAIToR.-We gricve to say, after
long resisting the conviction, we compelled
to believe at last that Vim. III. Polk brother
of the President, native Of North Carolina, a
resident Of Maury Co., Tennessee, a cousin of
our General, formerly Minister to Naples, az
terwards Major in the Mexican war. AMI then
member of Congress; man upon whom ho-
nors had accumulated, and who had a name to
protect, has consigned himself to everlasting :
infamy. and the hearts Of his relations to ever
lasting sorrow, by turning traitor to the South.
We knew him well in by-gonc days, and .,have
spent many a social hour pleasantly in his
company. We liked him well and would have
sacrificed something to have been able to like
him still. But our brother would incur our
scorn by such conduct, The last we hear Of
this renegade from the honorable principles Of
one of the highest toned, and most patriotic
families of Tennessee, he was in Washington
city advocating the passage Of confscation

THE INVASION Our community have
been for week hearing rumors of the in

and sharp skirmish eusued, but the pa

The most probable condition of affairs,
gathered from the various rumors up to
Friday night at Little Rock is that the
main body of them still remained at Bates
vile, whilst some 1900 of them with
bowitzers had advanced to Jacksonport.
Alf. Johnson's spy company of Texas,
had left Little Rock to bring in definite
information. There was rumor that the
enemy reached Searcy. 80 miles from our
capital, but that seems contradicted since.
There is no doubt of the presence of
the enemy, but their designs are yet un-
certain. Some suppose they are lnteut
upon taking possession of Little Rock ;
and are waiting the arrival of Commits
sary stores by way of Cairo. Others that
their destination is Memphis, by way of
White River If the former is attempted
we hope the whole country behind their
march will swarm. with ouerrillas

have been removed. TO what place it is

at Memphis some days ago, rather sud-
denly; of some disease, supposed to be
erysipelas. He was man of high stand

an unframed, hut jealous and earnest sol
dier. He offered his life 10 our cause,

entitled to her grateful remembrance, even

adequate protection Of life, liberty and pro-

and sacrifices.
Say to any intelligent gentleman to-day, that
in no country Of the world is there more per-
sonal liberty of action, or better protection to

he will not resent it as an insult to the memory
of our forefathers, as he would have done two
years ago. Nine out Of ten of them would as
sent to the proposition.
1t will be understood that we do not record
our own opinions. The matters are too grave,
and the times premature for any opinions to be
formed. At the proper time we are resolved
to follow the results of our honest convictions,
in these matters lead where they may. At
present We only record the signs of the times,
| and observe the shadowy forms which loom in
distinctly in the future. All these foretell n
strong centralized government; perhaps an
elective President, and Senators for life, with
larger powers than could ever have been pos
sible, in the times of the old government, when
all were so jealous of power, and fond of the
excitement of elevating and deposing our ru-
lers at will. 1t may result perhaps in a gov
ernment nearly resembling that of England,
saving the privileged classes. in which State
sovereigntes viii vanish entirely, or it may
terminate in the elevation of an absolute mill

the fiji st Napoleon. One thing is sure whether
