..The Old Arkansas Gentleman. ,,

We had almost forgotten the whereabouts
of the 'old Arkansas Gentleman" and were
fearful that he had departed this life never
more to return, but to our establishment last
evening we found that he was not only liv-
ing but from a gentleman of the old school
had been transformed into genuine carpet
Dagger of the new school. Pike, undoubted-
ly, thinks he has as good right to be car
pet Dagger as Columbus had when he landed
on one of the West India Islands and elected
himself sole proprietor of all the land and
ruler over all the people, and in history re-
solved to lead the long line of carpet baggers
that were to follow him to this country.
The Indians didn't like the first carpet bag
gers then and the rebels don't like them
now, but neither Indians or rebels seem to
make much progress in checking their adj
vance into new countries. sutf
We are sorry, however, that Pike has gone
to Washington. He will starve to death
there unless Gen. Grant gives him an office.
but the Tribune has discovered his whcrea-
bouts and we will let it tell us what to do
with him:
And 10 the "Old Arkansas Gentleman" has
become a carpet-bagger. General Editor
Poet Albert Pike, the glory of Arkansas, the
pride of Tennessee, the hero of 10 900 bloody
fields, the writer of any number of unread
poems, the editor OF a newspaper of limited
circulation, casts off his feet the dust, o.
Memphis, and comes to Washington to
"practice law" The renowned Pike, as a
carpet-bagger, is very solemn spectacle
We advise him however, to continue hi
journeyings and come to New York. Thi
would serve him two purposes. Firstly, he
would find more carpet baggers here than il
any other place in the country; and secondl.
should he find the law business dull, he coult
enter the service of the public in Mr.. Dal
Bryant's favorite troupe, and draw crowded
houses nightly, as the singer Of the "Old Al

DEAR STANDARD: 1 will introduce myself
to you this morning by disclaiming all feel
ings of partiality politically, and desiring
that all men may enjoy the full and free ex-
else of their own consciences. am only
plain farmer, and consequently do not expect
to make much noise, but as mere locker
on in Venice, take observations, and try and
steer my course as prudence may suggest.
! am led to these remarks by seeing
lengthy communication in the Sentinel of
Tuesday, the 9Th inst, signed awake"
Which, from beginning to end, is nothing
more and nothing less than tissue of the
most daring, vulgar, and unmitigated false
hoods. Why, there never was more har-
mony, good feeling, sobriety and interchange
of friendly sentiment in so large an assem-
bly, than in the one alluded to, since the Gre
alton. And am inclined to think "Asleep"
instead of awake" would have been more
appropriately assumed by the correspondent
OF the Sentinel.
am unable to find one solitary item in
that communication that is not grossly per-
verified, except his closing remarks, viz:
1.-THE day passed off without any difficulty,
and God send may never witness another
SUCH" Do you see the point guess if
he could have his way he never would see
another such demonstration, and I don't
blame him, for the people OF Davidson are
almost unit for Grant and Colfax for the
Presidency and Henderson for Congress.
"That's what the natter
think these few remarks are more than
"Awake" is entitled to, but it sometimes
happens that it is best to answer a fool &C
cording to his folly, lest he become wise in
. his own conceit

Rebel Capital
Cannot be made out of me-; and am hap
ply to say the same for my son. I thank
God appreciate too highly the just claims
ofmy brother MAN to equal privilege with
myself. When, therefore, the little rebel
sheet that faunts through Goldsboro' tries
to make capital and excite luminosity against
American citizens Mailing from other locai-
ties, more especially North of Dixie, by
trumping up the low cunning of some, and
thus making part equal to the ,ohole it is a
mode of logical deduction which--though
no doubt adapted to the reasoning habits
of the Goldsboro' Rough Notes-few will be
inclined to admit. am highly pleased
with the name of scalawag. and as l am, or
claim to be, somewhat of aphilologist, it
might be interesting to know that its deri-
walton (Sax. scale, q balance and Wagon,
pay given for service) and composition, is
highly expressive of its application. A
scalawag, then, is one who graduates, APP
portions and estimates, and pays for labor ac-
cording to its value or worth. Thus it may
be seen that the term scalawag is neither in
appropriate nor dishonorable. But as for
my being unpopular in or around Goldsbo-
ro', / must confess is truth which did not
think Rough Notes had the candor to utter,
and would now willingly take it by the
hand and try to lead it a little further, in the
same marrow way" by asking it--for well
it knows-why was this "scalawag" nnpop-
ular /? Will Rough Notes answerl I am rs
far from counting controversy with R. N.

noticed the wrigglings of R. N. but as some
Conservative friends did, in manner SD
kind and unsought, as greatly to enhance the
favor, come and tender their kind offices to
my son, it would be alike a slanfler upon
their goodness and his merits to say that it
was through the hope of his changing his

by day light, but under the moon no blue
death stricken fawn's is half so tender or
half so deep. Don't read Judge Pearson's
letter to them, but give them Byron and
Shelly in volumes, and you will have them
in your arms if not in your party in less
than week. Were we going to stump

prescribed by the Constitution, it is requisite
that this work of Districting the Counties should
be fastened to completion. Until this is done
provision cannot be made for the establishment
and maintenance of Public Instruction. e
In establishing these Districts it is desirable
that the municipal Districts should be the School
Districts; also, that reference should be had, as
far as practicable, to school houses already ex-
sting; also, except in extreme cases, no District
should contain less than thirty pupils between
the ages Of six and twenty-one years.
Your attention is also called to the orders of
the Board of Education, passed September 9,
1868, certified copy of which is transmitted
herewith.
For authority to pass such orders, the Board
