Arrest Of a Missouri Murderer.

Last Monday week, Deputy Sheriff
Bcymer and Mr.. Yale, having obtained
information of the whereabouts of A.
j. Eason, who is charged with the
murder of Charles Smith, started for
the purpose of aTesting him. They
left here about dark aud Travelled all
night, but very few persons in this
vicinity being aware Of their mission
until week had passed. They pro.
ceeded to Smilhville, Arkansas, about
one hundred and thirty miles from
here, representing themselves on the
! route as West Tennesseeans on the
hunt of new home. This was done
TO prevent any news reaching Eason
that he was likely to be wanted by
the Circuit court of this county, and
the officers OF the law were on his
track. When they reached the neigh.
borhood Of Smithville they learned
that Eason lived twenty miles west OF
that place, and that he had married a
niece of the Radical Sheriff of that
county, and that he belonged TO that
celebrated organization which has
filled the loyal Northern heart with
JOY and admiration, and the State of
Arkansas with weeping widows and
orphans, and smoking guns, known TO
iamc as "Clayton's militia" Here
was n pretty fix for tw Missourians
TO find themselves in. IL it was dis
covered that they had invaded the sa-
cred soil Of Arkansas with the intention
of capturing ono Of the defenders ~
other liberties they would be arraigned
before a drumhead court.martial and
hung or shot for their temerily. II
would not do to get in sight of their
man and back down from the job of
arresting him. They laid their plans
and proceeded TO put them into exc.
cution. They reached the house of
Mr. Hawkins (Eason's fathor-in-law,) }
at dusk. and halloed. Eason came
out to the gate. Mr.. Yale inquired if
they would be permitted TO stay all
night there. Eason answered AYES"
and invited them toalighl. They got
otf their horses and went up TO Eason
and informed him that they wanted
him to 60 with them. Pistols were
presented at his head and he yielded.
Mr.. Hawkins Eason's iather-in.law)
and Young Hawkins (his brother-in-
law were fortunately absent at the
time. Six mlitiamen had been at the
house that evening and had left only
few minutes before Bcymer and
Yale arrived. Eason was mado to
saddle and bride his horse and mount
and ride away with them before an
alarm could be given. The party rode
hard all night, end next evening found
thom eighty-fve miles on the way TO
Madrid They arrived here last We'd
ncsday evening and Eason was placed
in jail to await his trial. A reward
of $500 was offered by Governor Nc
Clurg for the apprehension of Eason,
which we suppose will be paid to Bey.

A real scholar is fast becoming a.
rare as an angels visit. Sensible
practical men and women are fast dis
appearing before these 6ocks Of but
terfes-iashionable young gentlemen
and fashionable young ladies-that
yearly swarm from our places of edu
cation.
Fine manners, so-called, rule tho
hour, and mind is banished. Hence,
owing to their education, our people
are'becon,ing so desperately frivolous.
: Who dresses fnestl Who talks
pretticstY Who dances best? ? Who
shows to the most advantage ? Who
has the dainliest foot 7 Who posses
ses the tiniest handg Who has the
loveliest hairl Whose wel-powdcred
face is most beautifully Who makes
the most elegant bow 2 These are
the supreme questions-ihesc the only
test Of merit These, the critcsia Of
character 1t is not-who thinks the
most-but who smiles the prettiest
1t is not-who is the best--but who
appears to the best advantage. 1t is
not-who is the most sensible-but
who sings the sweetest. 1t is not
who is the most practical-but who is
the most fashionable.
1t is not the mind but the manners;
it Is not the character but the car.
riage It is not the sense but the sen.
limentality; tits not the solid hought
but the gossamer tissue that meets
with admiration.
Our people blindIy worship the ox-
ternal. They adore fashion. The
silly simper of silly face charms
them.
The cnrve of an eyebrow, the make
Of nose, the dimple of a check, the
twist OF u piece of false hair, ribbon,
glove, flower, 1ounce, ealfsllin
slipper are objects Of downright idola.
tryl For this they nre educated.-
For this they are trained.
But wiser than we said it: "All the
glory OF the Kings daughter is from
ioithin." And wiser than we know
that men must be judged by their
mind, not by their manners. Not sci.
dom eanthe greatest rascal make the
most elegant bow.
But unfortunately In our education
the ornamental has the preference and
the useful is disrcgarded. 1t is not
right. II is ruinous. 1t must be
stopped II lowers lifc's dignity; it
degrades lifc's aims. 1t. forms fash
ionable genllemenj but who does not
know how frequently in the forming
OF such creatures, the true man is de-
stroyed 7 1t produces fashionable la
dies but who does not also know,
how often in producing such wonders
of elegance, the real Oomdn is lost 7
Let us have more men and comen and
fewer so called gentlemen and ladies.
v"r INSTITUTIONS, Cathol' and Protcs-
tnnt, Convents aud Colleges, and FISH
ionable boarding schools have given
us enough, and more .han enough of
the latter. IT'S timn they should try
and give us few OF the former.
But give them they cannot until al
ways and altogether the ornamental is
made to yield to the useful. Educate
the mind and the manners will come.
Develop the iniodrd and the outward
will not be slow in appearing.
We are surfeited with mere piano
players and moustace wearers. Teach
ers For heavens sake give us less
of the piano, and more of the practi.
cal diminish the moustache and give
us more Of merit and of mdn.-Bdnner

simple fact that, although the combined Abolition
and Radical press of Oregon sought every occasion,
for the two or three years lived in that State prior
to the war, and all the time during the war to macn
and calumnate us. they could never charge against
us any damaging or dishonorable truth, but had re-
course only to the absurd silly and dirty SANDERS
which you so frequently copy and fling at us? But
even II they were true each and all of them to what
would they amount? And with all of your own dis
position, Reynolds to say of us anything which Won
think would wound feelings or place us in damap
ing aspect before the people, even you slanderer and
ready liar that you are, cannot aege against us the
commission of act which should subject us to the

reproach of any good citizen. But, if we chose to
deal III that kind of exchange, you very well know

acts, and Of the actually henous crime which we could
