We have two other cases of undoubted yellow fever among our citizens, with four or five others sick all at the depot. The physicians have declared the fever of an cpl demic character and advised all to leave.
 A Hickman special to the Ameri- can tonight, says that the Doctors of Hickman think the outlook better. The fever has assumed miidcr form in the last twenty-tour hours, there being only eight deaths and two new cases. Two resident phy- sicians have died, and several are unable for duty.

Sebastian Speaks out.

At the last sesion of the logisla- ture Fishback said the people of Sc bastian were all opposed to scaling our debt and in favor of repudiating the fraudulent part of it. Milor is said to have told the members that we were "all the other way" Fish back leads all other candidates by upwards of three hundred votes Miior is to far in the rear of all as scarcely to be considered in the race. We hope Sebastian county win be understood now.--Ft. Smith Independent.

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition Of vital euergy is the stepping stone to health. When the system lacks vitality, the various or gany flag in their duty, become event. ually instituted. To prevent this un- happy state of things, the debilitated system should be built up by the use of that inimitable tonic, Hostetter's Stom- aeh Bitters which inyigorates the di- gestive organs, and insurcs the thor ough conversion of food into blood ot a nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies ef vigor, and the whole system experiences beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the system is refreshed by healthful sinmber, the nerves grow strong and calm, the de- spondency begotten of chronic inaiges- ton and an uncertain state of health disappears, and that sallow appearance of the skin peculiar to lIahitaal inyalids, and persons deficient in vital energy, is replaced by more becoming tinge.

United States Senator.

The canvass of the county having been made by Gen, Gordon and Col. ". s. Hanna, both men expressing their choice and expressing the same in every public speech made in the county, Gen. Gordon fayoring Hon. Robert Johnson, Col. Hanna, Hon, J. D, Walker, and Hanna having receiv- ed . majority of 534 votes it IS req sonable to presume that the wish and desire of the people is for the Little Giant of the Northwest" and it affords us pleasure In saying that throughout the State the "Walker movement" is generally ac- cepted as being the best time peice carried insthe voters vest pocket.
 The Gazette, a few days ago cop jed the above from our paper and gave us credit for it. 1t appeared in our paper, true. but we should have credited it to the Morrillton Plebian. Our county ut the primary election expressed a choice for Gov. Baxter. We make this correction that the feelings of the people of our county in the Senatorial race may not be misrepresented.
