SIR Through your kindness / am furnished
a copy Of the Irareler. of the ODD inst, published
at Bentonville. Arkansas. In this paper notice
an editorial severely rejecting upon the conduct
of myself and band !" while in Benton county,
on official duty-charging me with robbing some
negroes-kiliing and appropriating. without lee
Vmpense chickens belonging to Mr.. Ioung-and
not being satisfied with depredating upon his
poultry, proceeded to his orchard and there cut.
carved and peeled, alter taking his fruit, SC that
death is expected TO some of his best trees. And,
to cap the climax of depredatons, proceeded to
the west :" end" of the county, was joined by f.
d. Fenno, u. 5, Deputy Marshal, and together
arrested a whisky vendcr. on charge of violating
his license, aud eAtorled from him money, whisky
and mule-selling the liquor, pocketing the
money, etc.
New. 10 each and all Of these charges, | would
not take the least notice-except to pronounce
them 0tgaH, malicious and unmitigGted lies
which would very properly come under " An act
promulgating slander-sec, 304"-but for the re-
spect have for the good pc, pie OF this and Ben
ton counties. deem it my duty to make true
statement of facts; and appeal to the people of
Benton county, of both political parties, for The
truth Of the same.

teen men-proceeded to Evansville in Washing.

gene to Benton county. / proceeded to Benton
tonyile, to consult with the Sheriff of that coun.
ty. remained at Bentonville one day to rest my
horses. While there paid the money for every.
| thing my men used. One of my men did trade
pistols with negro. | afterwards learned the
negro had become dissatisfied with his bargain
and paid him the difference he claimed in mon
ey.
There was a man robbed in Bloomfield by ons
MACo>lB, and every citizen of that place knows
that had nothing to do with the robbery. | went
to Bloomfield, on hearing Of the robbery, with the
express purpose of arresting Macomb, and hold
him to answer for his crime. Marshal Fenno
came into Bloomfield while was thare-ths was
several days after the robbery.
| The editors of the Trdreler are hard pushed
| for news, when they fabricate and publish such
articles as this-in fact they are destitute of honor
and politics, having proven traitors to both par
ties Being elected to the Legislature by the Re
publicans of Benton county, they sold out the
first opportunity, and sold very low. And now
| to try to show great honesty on their part and
bolster up little shortlived popularity with
certain class, they resort to this SANDER. | want
no controversy with such knayes--and from suck
liars may the good Lord ever deliver me-

Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad

From reliable private information, and
from other indications, we are led to the
firm conclusion that the work on this i'm
portant road will be pushed forward with
energy, and that not many months will
elapse before we will be cheered by the
shrill whistle Of the locomotive, awaken
ing the country from its dull lethargy,
and iRfusing new and active spirit OF
Improvement into all the business rela-
tions Of the community. Crawford coun-
ty has always taken an active interest in
the building Of this road-in fact, has
heretofore done more than any other
county on the line OF the road; her citi-
gems have expended more time and mon
ey in furtherance OF the enterprise than
any other county, and they will still con
tinue to do all that may be necessary to
the successful building of the road
This road having been completed, and
the Border Road from Springfield, Mis-
souri,, or some other point on the South.
Missouri Pacific road, completed to this
point, and we will have communication
with all the network of railroads in tho
country. When all these roads shall
have reached us, a bright day will have
dawned upon Van Buren and Crawford
county-let all the energies Of ouy pee
pie be expended in this behalf,

Paganlsm VS.. Christianity

The writer sees that 1T is the intention of the
Director or Agent Of the proposed Railroad in
this State to proceed to California to procure q
number of Chinese "a large number, it is prcsum-
able) to work on the road. In the name of all
Chrstendom the writer raises his voice in protest
to this To introduce such number of heathen
into cur midst is TO Introduce Pagan customs and
and idylitry. California already sees several Zone
at least) Pagan temples and pagodas. TO intro
duce and allow Pagan rites aud idoiatry is to des
olate the land. Because ofthis the curse of Jeho.
yah rested upon Julea Of old, and will rt4t upon
any socalled or professed Christian people. These
people bring with them idolatrous opinions and
customs The voice Of every Christian, and Of
every Christian stakeholder in the company
ought to be raised against this measure. Better
not to have railroad than to introduce such Gus
toms here. But this is not the alternative. La,
borsrs can doubtless be procured other than hea
thea, even though not SO cheap. Cheapness is
not the only consideration at all times in such an
action. The writer is well aware Of all that may
(and perhaps willy be said in regard TO civil and
religious liberty. But he cannot think that Chris
tantv, tolerant as she is Of opinion and act, as al
as constrant is concerned, will or can sanction in
the least the introduction of Paganism into the
land.
In conclusion, it is doubtful whether the writer
Of this will see or have time to answer any re
strctons to this article, but he once more enter.
his earnest protest against the introduction o.
these heathcn aud their idol worship in our midst
and leaves what weight the argument may have
to a rejecting community. ).
We think our young Christian friend
is more SCARED than hurt" We haC
supposed that it was the holy mission o.
the Church Of Christ to carry the light o.
the gospel into every land and Christian
ize the whole world and have for long
years, sent missionaries to these idola
trous people to accomplish this end. Il
seem to US, that the work would be mucl
easily accomplished if a half million ol
less, were scattered among the Christian
Church Of this land. If Christianity will
not stand the test, side by side with Pa.
gansm, it is not built on the foundation
we supposed it to be. There are objec.
tions, to this flood Of Chinese immigra-
tion, but we would think that the objec-
tons Of our young friend were the least.

Politics.

Since the Waterloo defeat OF the ear
pet-bag Radicals in old Virginia, we are
enioying a calm We await similar re
suit in Texas and Mississippi-until then
but little of interest is likely to take place
in the political world so far as our Anne
rican politics are concerned. GRANT
goes ON much as usual, still getting
sick" on grand occasions, and being
we'll abused by disloyal party. The
RAIDS of TIE blacklist dye are down on
him, for sartin sure" and we doubt the
next session Of Congress will be but a
repetition ofsomc former ones-JonNsoN
only giving place to the great pioneer. :"
SO far the most successful points in
GRANTS presidential career are wine bib.
bing and cigar smoking. Iii these he
stands unrivalled, and doubtless will con
tinue so. As to strokes Of statesman
like policy, we have been favored with
none. With SUMNER to help him, he has
put BROTHER JONATHAN under the thumb
of JouNNY BULL, and will soon have him
under his feet The Alabama claim viii,
no doubt, completely unhorse us before
it is over. The dung-hll has been
shown by GRANT all the way through.
ANDY JOHNSON is loose, too, and he is
making fine and hourishing history Of
the popinjay GRANT" and he does not
forget the War Office scrape GRANT
having convicted himself of falsehood,
out of his own mouth, THAT is, the mouth
he uns-WAsHBuRN's), is fine subject
for the scathing invective of ANDY.
Now if ASpY-policy and all-are
elected to the U. S. Senate from Tennes-
see, oh, criekey! won't it be warm in
those regions? And yet We predict he
will be so elected; and we further pre-
dict that the former vllifiers of him would
rather see the cloycn footed gentleman
come among them. Once in the Senate,
he can come back at these fellows and
not be compelled to play shut mouth
when they are abusing and slandering
They made an effort to impeach him, too
Oh, but there is long score of ills to be
rubbed out, and an accumulation Of inte-
rest on them to be piid. All gentlemen

FIRE AT NORTH FoRK.--We regret ex-
ceedingly to learn that the large and ex-
cellent buildings Of the Asbury Manual
Labor School, at North Fork, in the
Creek Nation, were destroyed by Ere on
the 22d ult The fire was discovered at
about o'clock at night, and all efforts
to stay its progress were unavalling. The
school was under the charge Of the Rev
Il. B. RUBLEs. 1t was vacation in the
school and the building was consequently
not occupied except by the Principal and
his assistants. The property belonged
to the Methodist Church, South, and nc
insurance was had on the building. The
oss will amount to about $4,000, and
will be greatly felt by our Indian friends.
We trust the Church viii see the necessi-
ty Of at once making an earnest effort for
repairing the loss sustained.

The White River Journal Of the 18th
inst comes out squarely for universal
justice, says the Little Rock Liberal. 1t
has been considered for long time a
Radical journal but moderation and truth
have generally characterized its course
and in the present bold position taken, it
has unquestionably done right, Here is
a significant though brief editorial from
the issue referred to;
Walker, the Conservative Consttu-
tional Candidate in Virginia, has been
elected, and the Constitution adopted by
4O,000 majority. This is the rock
upon which the Republican party must
constitution provides for universal suf
fragc and universal amnesty. The next
Congress must either accept or reject it,
If they accept it they go back upon their
record, if they reject it the downfall OF
the party is certain. As to Virginia 80
as to the balance of the Southern States
1t has been demonstrated that the negro
vote is not unit and cannot hereafter be
relied upon to vote the Radical ticket,
that no party can safely ignore the rights
of one class Of people for the exclusive
benefit Of another So far the President
of the United States in this matter has
made good his declaration in favor OF
universal suffrage, rs announced in his
inaugural. Shall he continue so to do
we shall not regret having been the first
to propose his nomination in the first
nominating convention held in the uni
