LITTLE Rock, May 5.-After the arrest
of Judges Bennet. and Scarl, by the BaxN
terites, they were taken across the river
in skin, then to st. Johns College, on
the outskirts of the city, where they
spent the night. Yesterday morning they
were put on horses and, in charge of
band of cavalry, were taken into the
country, and will probably be kept in the
woods
On the heels of this event, at 8 5o'clock,
yesterday, our State Auditor, Wheeler,
was aroused by knocking OF the doors OF
his residence. He jumped oat OF bed
and went down stairs, where he saw n
hack at the door; the driver said that
General McCavaney wanted to see him.
Wheeler, not thinking they wanted to
capture him, said: Ask him 20 come In
McCavaney answered back for him to
come out; he went, and some men wis
had been stationed with guns on the
other side of the house, rushed up and
put him by force into the carriage. He
was driven down to the Anthony House !;
they then took him to Baxter's room,
woke Baxter up, and McCavaney said: l
beg your pardon for acting without Or
dcrs, but thought it my duty to capture

him acknowledge you as Governor. l
will do the same with State Treasurer,

AMRNDE HoNoRABLE.--We are in

Doak, OF Lexington, Burlcson county,

the kind at the time, certainly we
are convinced on subsequent investi

Tho New has not yet had enough
of the printing matter. Its war on
the Printing Board reminds one of
the insrlar Ignorance of the English.
They don't know when they are

cause it tLen thought that there were
only three Offices in the State com
petent to do the work. 1t reasoned
that the Austin State Journal could
not get it at any rate. That left the

matter between these two contestants
and thus effectually disposed of the
