In the Missouri Democrat
Republican paper-of the 18th of Jul
~, we see long article copied from
one of those Bourbon papers-the
Mobile Register--which is aPFa-
rently engaged, SIS a chief end, in
furnishing ammunition for radical
papers north to make a successful
campaign against the democracy OF
the country. The ST. Louis Demo
crat is one of the ablest republican
papers in the country, and thinks il
selects the best weapons of offence
to be had, and accordingly nearly
every issue OF that paper contains
lengthy extracts from the appeal,

They are having lively times in
Arkansas justnow. At Little Rock
last Monday, they had jolly time
in the County Court between the
radical incumbents and the radical
outs inwhich some incumbants were
displaced and some ofthe outs got in.
Charges of.stealing. large amounts OF
county funds were made against
incumbents, and by them deni d
developments are looked for.
>In.Chicyot county there has been
a feuo>between the "outs'' and the
sins" for seue months. Sometime
since negro nsmed Mason, was
appointed Probate Nudge. but il
leaked out that he was MT a 0ood
friend of Senator .(then GoSesnorl
Clayton, and a white man namen
Ragland was appointed in his stead.
Mason Refused to give up the office.
The Sheriff refused to obey Mason,s
order, when the latter had the Sher-
if put in jAl. raised a company of
militia, and run Ragland out of
the county. Mason still holds the
office, and detiies Ragiand and his
friends. Proposals to compromise
with Mason, but he refuses sIlv term
were made with them. -

The editor of the Lincoln county
Meas, in his issue of the .2lst of
July, expresses his idea of journal
ism in sensible and manly manner,
and it is a great pity that more men
who come to the editorial position
do not have as correct ideas of the
duties and obligations imposed by
it. Here is short extract from his
article:
ssHe who undertak Journalism
with no higher mission than to
merely excuse himself in the way
of filing up space or pandering to
known prejudices to make himself
popular, has very poor conception
of his duty. Neither is self-interest,
momentary or otherwise, the sole
object. The object should be to ad-
vance the pubic veal, by advoeat-

EXPRESS noBBERY.


The Express car on the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad, going North on Sat
urday night of last week. was robbed
by three men who got on the train
at Union City, and bought tickets
to Clinton, Ky. The train had
stopped for a moment at some sta
ton, when the three men got out
on the platform, and as the train
started, observing that there was no
one but the messenger in the Express
car, two of them jumped into the
car and presented pistols to the head
of the messenger, demanded the safe
key, while the third one stood on
the platform TO give signal in case
of danger. One kept his pistol well
covering the head of the messenger,
while the other went through the
safe. The amount obtained has
been variously stated, but we learn
it did not exceed s., 900. When they
had accomplished their business,
the bell cord was pulled for slacken-
ing speed, and the three rascals got
of, and disappeared in the woods.

henderson County.

The opportunity is now offered to
the citizens OF Henderson county
to secure the inestimable advantages
of a cheap, safe and economical
railroad, which we are persuaded
the good sense and self-interest of
her people will induce her to seize
upon without unnecessary delay.
A survey has already been made for
a narrow gauge road from jackson
to Lexington, which for cheapness
of construction and economy of
management, will throw any road
ever before constructed in Tennes-
see entirely into the shade.
As Henderson county now stands,
she is almost wholly isolated from
all railroad connections. Her soil is
one of the most generous and pro-
life in this generous and prolific
section of the State. She makes as
much cotton per acre, as any county
in West Tennessee; but lying re-
mote from market, and separated
from railroads by streams and dirt
roads which are absolutely impassa-
ble-or next TO it-for a good por-
ton of the time when she wishes to
reach market with her products.
she loses as much every year, in
hauling, in not being able to get to
market, and in loss by depreciation
in quantity and quality Of staple,
and by depreciation of price, as
would pay Tor building such road
through from the Madison county
line to Lexington. We are some
times met with the remark that
Henderson is a poor county, and
"cannot afford" to lay out of the
capital necessary to build the road
through their territory; but when
this remark is made they do not re-
feet that, poor as Henderson county
is, she annually loses more, for waat
of the facilities which the railroad
would furnish, than the whole cost
of the road would be TO them.
Why, the surplus corn of Hender-
son county, which has been made by
the two last rains,-last week and
this-would alone, almost build the
road through the county; and yet
we hear men who pass for intelli-
gent citizens, cavilling about the
pitiful tax which it is proposed to
levy upon the county-$15G,O 0O-and
which is to be paid in ten years. If
the road is built, before these bonds
will fall due, and have to be paid,
the increased value of the lands of
Henderson county, to say nothing
of the additional articles OF produc-
ton which viii, by this means, find
access to market, viii more than ten
times over, pay the whole of the
bonds thus issued.
Henderson county will not be so
blind to1ts~best interests as to re-
fuse to vote the subscription asked
for this road. 1t would be an insult
to her intelligence to believe it.

is reported in the Memphis appeal
of Saturday. Maj. Sykes, of Mem
phis, and o. F. Prescott, a promi-

director of the Memphis and Raleigh
Narrow Gauge Road, made speeches
on the occasion. A unanimous ex-
preston in favor of extending the
Raleigh road to Jackson, was the
result of the meeting. The country
all along the line of this road is
walked up to the importance of its
immediate construction. Memphis
and Macon at the other end, seem
willing to do their part, jackson and
Denmark at this end have pledged
themselves to do theirs-and now

pect for the early construction of
this great road grows brighter and

not pretend to say that there was

might have given him money; but
they were not under my control;
had nothing 30 do with them. They
were witnesses for the State, and as
much under the control of Mr..

pie sustain him it is all right And
without worrying the public and the

will say to Mr.. March that the

that he can have fair and impartial
