Conway county goes for Fletch CT lst, Hughes, 2d choice.

 Johnson county last Saturday went for Embry and Churchill.
 Faulkner county last Saturday instructed for Hughes, 1st, Fletcher, 2d, Frolich, Churchill, Crawford, Moore, Witt, Baker and Williams.
 From present indications Pulas- Xii county will go for Fletcher, Craw- ford, Churchill, Beavers, Moore, Lear, Williams and Hill.
 The Little Rock Democrat says the remarks of the Gazette in attack ing Col. Embry are out of order, and not justifiable under the circumstan- ces.
 William Cullen Bryant died on the 12th inst. Journalism has been deprived of one of it's leading and most brilliant lights in the death of MT. Bryant.
 Gen. R. L. E. Bonneville, of Ft Smith, the oldest officer on the re- tired list of the U. s. Army, died at Fort Smith, on the morning of the 18th, at the age of S5.
 The Saline County Digest says the nomination of Beavers for Secretary of State is now certainly assured. There never was a grand CT mistake, however. We know of Q certain individual from White coun- ty who will beat Beavers so easy that the effort will be mere Frolic(b).
 -Col. Essex, Land Commissioner, of the St Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Ry., has offered nice list of premiums, aggregating $l50 for specimen of farm products grown within the limits of the land grant of that road in Arkansas.
 The Boone County Record has been observing some, and it says:
 "So far as we have noticed, every candidate for legislative honors in this State, who has placed himself upon the record, is in favor os Con- stltutional amendment, prohibiting any future legislature from levying any tax for the payment of the Rail- road, Levee or Holford bonds.
 The incubus of trying to carry along a man whose conduct is as ob- jectionable to the people as is that of the present Adjutant General, would break down a much stronger admin istratien than that of Gov. Miller. The last severe commentator upon this subject is the Fort Smith lnds- pendent.

 A train on the Memphis road with large number of Little Rock people wEo had been out to Hills Lake on an excursion trip, met with a serIons accident when returning to the city. The locomotive which had been reversed and was pulling the train into the city, from some cause or other flew the trsck while at a speed of nearly mile a minute.
