AS this takes away all the disturbing

myself OF the lieutenant-gene ais per-

that the Sioux have three fighting men

Of my ability TO whip them with my

Hostile Indians are, according to my

The Railroad.

We have been shown a letter from
Hon Jesse Turner to Senator Walker,
complaining of the supposed partiality
Of our people for Alma as the southern
terminus of the projected Northwestern
Railroad. He says 1t was understood al
Little Rock, when the bllw under dis
cussion, that the counties in which the
land lay should decide that question
This we know to he true. The editor o
the Sentinel is aware too, that If there
had been any doubt about it, that ques
ton would have been settled in the bill
We think, therefore, that it would be bu
justice to let the people Of Crawford ant
Franklin decide upon the point where
the read should make the southern con
nection Each and every point shoulC
have the fairest consideration, and The
final action should only be taken afteI
the maturest Investigation OF all the ad
vantages and the greatest benefit to b,
conferred upon all interested - Fayeie

But how are the various points in in
terest to be consulted, if company ha
already been formed, and the editor o
the Sentinel member of the organza
ton which has filed articles Of corpora
ton. designating Alma as the point o
terminus2 The move, certainly looks
| little claptrapish,' on the part OF some
body. One thing our friends over tn
mountain may be assured of; whcthe
the advantages Of our town are taken in
to consideration or not, the citizens o
Van Buren will enter into no underhand
ed or dishonorable scheme to forwart
the interests of this point, or to de
tract from any other spoken Of w

Jesse Turner for Governor

We propose the name of Mr.. Jesse
Turner, of Crawford county, as can
didate for Governor of the State of Ar
kansas. We are certain that Governor
Garland will not he candidate. This
portion of the State has been for nun
| ber of years ignored in the distribution
of State offices. and we know of no man
in thenorthwest who would make Us good
governor Ms he whose name stands al
the head of this article. He is a man OF
ability, experience and legal learning, be
sides, he is honest, proverbially So. and
unfatcring in the discharge of any duty
imposed upon him As chairman Of the
Judiciary committee. in the Senate, he
he performed that duty faithfully, and il
was the most important committee in
that body, as all important bills had to
undergo revision in that committee. Mr..
Turner is the choice Of Senator Simms,
the old man eloquent of the Senate,
for Governor. Mr.. Simms is from In
dependence county, and has served two
terms in the State Senate with Mr. L.
The only objection that may, or can
be raised against Mr.. Turner is his age.
But, that cannet be an objection of any
weight, as he is a man who has always
enjoyed good health, with strong body,
several years under three score and ten,
with n clear and vigorous mind, he would
be able to lill the office of Governor with
honor to the State, and will, il elected,
discharge the duties thereof faithfully.
for the benefit of the whole people.-H
Smith Independent
Judge Wheeler, of the Fort Smith In.
dependent makes the above very compli
mentary remarks with reference to Hon
Jesse Turner, of Van Buren. We can
endorse his sentiments, and can truthful
ly say thabno maa possesses the hearty
esteem of his fellow citizens to greater
degree than Mr.. Turner, and no man in
Western Arkansas could be selected for
the position nan.cd who would command
a more general or harmonious support.
We know, and the people know, that he
has no aspirations for office. and this fact
renders him ten times more acceptable to
the people Of the State, Although come
what advanced in years, Mr.. Turner is
possessed of more energy and activity
by far, than many men who are much his
juniors,
