SpeaksHg E.ast Saturday.

AS had been previously announced, Col. Roots, accompanied by his man Friday, W. w. Wiltshire, of Little Rock, spoke to the people of this coun- ty-wllite ndsblack-conservati and radicai--last Saturday, and were re- piled to by Col. W. k. Patterson, of this city. It would be next to an i'm possibility to give any thing like an intelligent synopsis of Roots speech on account of the disconnected and scattering way in which he delivered himself. It was composed of all the odds and ends of the half finished and poorly constructed arguments of the leaders oi his party. He is no speak CT
 don't come up to school boy deela- mation-but is as complete bore as ever addressed an audience. Even his negro friends were sadly disappointed in him, and we heard one of them significantly remark that he's not a very deep root, no how" and every body else was of the same opinion. But even if he was deep Root and big Roots, he was so etfectualy dug up root and branch--by Col Patterson, that he will never take 'sroot" again. Indeed, we felt sorry for him, for we never heard a man beg pardon, we mean Roots, ,"-get such skinning before. Poor fellow! We are satisfied that there has been a sad mistake made in this matter of putting Roots before the people to uphold a sinking cause. A few more advocates of his kind and calibre will effectually do the work for radicalism. He did not even win the good opinion of a single intelligent negro who heard him last Saturday. He is a small potatoc even in the radi- cal hill, where there are so many that were never anything else but roots, and is the man above all others we would have selected from the mongrel party of Arkansas to canvass for the infa- nous constitution now before the peo- pie for ratification. His advocacy ensures its condemnation by the peo- pie, and we predict that it will not re- ceive three hundred and fifty votes in Jackson county.
 In the name of the people who are in | favor of the white mans party,. we thank Col. Patterson for his manly effort in their behalf, and in his speeches from now until election day, may his trenchant blade do it's work as effectual- ly elsewhere as it did here last Satur- day. Sic transit gloria Roots.
 WoULD'NT DIvIDE.-We understand that Col. Roots and Very. Wearisome 1 Wiltshire declined to divide time with Hon. Wm. Byers, at Batesyille, last Monday. We are not surprised at them for not dividing with Judge Byers. They made little division down here andswere' so nearly denol- ished by Col. Patterson, that they couldn't stand . another divide. He gave them such skinning that they will not recover from it during the canvass. One more division and there won't be Roots enough left for seed.

 ! At Helena last week ten bales of cot ton were taken from Coolidge & Co., s yard, and rolled down the bank into the Mississippi.
 A company in Lawrence county sunk shaft but few feet, and were rewarded with a lump ofzinc weighing 1000 pounds.
 The Batesville Republican states "Within few days we are to have a telegraph line completed to this point"
 The Helena Shield says: "The levee for the protection of our sity is pro- gressing rapidly, and should it con tinue to grow at the present rate, it will not be q great while before we are prepared for the encroachment of the old Father of Waters"
 The Fort Smith New Era of the 9th says: The Legislature of the Chcro- kees, at it's late session passed an act ap2ropriating s100O0 for the erection of a building suitable for a capital of the Nation.
 The Fort Smith Standard will be re- moved to Clarksville, Johnson county, and its name will be changed to the Arkansas Standard.
 The Fort Smith New Era states |, Owing to the close of the river, and the enormous cost of transportation, salt is very scarce, selling at t.l215 cents a poend yhcrc--and this, too within thirty-five miles of one of the most magnificent salt springs in the world, capable of supplying the Mississippi valley with this indispensable articles. Pork, ill consequence, is no sale, and farmers find it difficult to procure salt enough to save their bacon.
 The Helena Clarion states: The adop- tion of a uniform schedule of fees by the lawyers of our town, one of the leading features of which is a fair pros portion of "cash,' has sensibly dimin- ished, we arc informed, the number of iitigants, and will cut of many long legal controversies.

JoHN's PRETTY WIFE.-At the early dawn of the rebellion, John would go. No persuasion could induce him to abandon his fighting propensities. He craved Yankee meat.
 His wife was in desperate health, pale, feeble and emaciatcd, yet young. A parting kiss and John was gone. During the first twelve months of the war news came that Johns wife had passed away! The war closed and John, with honors, stars and glory, re- turned to his once happy home. "Oh, y says he, '.that sweet flower, so beauti- full in fading, has gone, l will stroll the walks where once we were so happy He was invited into the parlor. A fine, healthy, rosy lady made her ap- pearance.

 What this person means as '.indircc- tly a subscriber" we can only conjec- turc. We suppose he has been in the habit of borrowing the Commercial, or stealing it from direct subscriber. or course we are duly impressed by the mcnacing intimation that he will not borrow or stead any more. We know such fellows too well, however, to suspect this one of any real purpose of carrying out such a threat
