termine and decide all questions per- talnlng to the location of sail Col lege."

 It will be seen by the above Reso- lutions, that the Arkansas Baptists assembled in State Convention, re- solved to build up and endow First Glass Male College within the State that SlO0,000 should be the Fund that $500 should entitle the donor to one perpetual scholarship-that no subscription should be due till the whole amount shall have been raised that certain sums he used for Col lege building, Agents salary, etc., that every SI0O shall entitle to vote in locating the College, and that two thirds of the votes should determine the spot.

 Some persons propose to me new terms of subscription, but 1 cannot vary from the above; besides, am not informed of any plan superior to the one adopted: this plan is approv- ed by the most intelligent citizens of the State, both Baptists and others, and they have shown their approval by giving their bonds to aid in the work.

 l have now over half the amount in bonds which 1 consider very en- couraging success considering the state of affairs when began; but to complete this noble enterprise almost alone, would require longer time than 1 can devote without great and con tinued pecuniary sacrifices; I have therefore fallen upon the following plans, believing that united effort will complete the work at once and release the Agents from an immense amount of hard labor, loss of time and outlay of money. My plans are submitted.

 l. have had large number of Bonds printed which 1 send out this week to every subscriber to the Ar kansas Baptist, and also to some not subscribers but whom 1 suppose fla vorable to our College.

 Now, kind reader, will you please fillup the Bond with whatever amount you are able and willing to give to this nohlest of purposes which is de- signed to bless the State of Arkan- sas for centuries to come? Do not fail to send something-just what you are willing to give-and send at your earliest convenience, as l am very anxious to know what amount, Gf any,) will still be required by the per- sonal presence of the Agent.

 If, however, you cannot give any thing yourself, will you be so good as to hand the accompanying Bond over to some acquaintance of yours who will give, that through your agency l may be assisted in this much beloved object? When you shall have done what you can, please mail the Bond thus filled, to me at Little Rock, Ark, cSre of Watson & Hooten. The amounts will be reported through the Arkansas Baptist as fast as received.

 ?. Every Minister of the gospel in Arkansas, who will send us as above, $l,0O0 in good Bonds, shall be enti- tied to the tuition of one pupil in the College when put in operation, free of charge, for Four Years!

 Now, brethren, exert yourselves little and thereby secure the tuition for that son of yours that he may be a polished jewel Take Bond with you to your several appointments, and you may raise the amount in a very few days; or, spend few days as special agent: you will hereby do good to yourselves and others.

IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALE d DEALERS.

other house, as we receive them direct from the
Manufacturers, on CONSIGNMENT.
Our stock Of SPRING AND SUMNER GOODS Is


particularly attractive and the great feature to the

less than the cost Of importation. We also keep the

CoRRECTIoE- Several nis-statements have
been put in circulation lately, calculated to
create a wrong impression in the public mind
in regard to the Standard Dictionary used in
the schools of some OF the most important
towns We think it justly due the interest of
Webster to correct some of the false asssr-
tons, made, no doubt, by the friends of W or
eester. The report that Worcester has been
adopted as the standard at Chicago is entirely
i5ithout Foundation. Neither is Worcester
ased in the Detroit schools. Webster is the
authority in the public schools of that city as
well as in nearly eUeISfpablie and pirate school
IN the State. Michigan provided copy of
Webster's Unabridged, for each district, and
1t is universally favored among the teachers
Of that State. Again, the leading publish
ing houses Of the East do not .toilog For-
eesteFian orthographg. We have seen com
munications rom most Of the firms mentioned
in an article stating that they especially es-
chew Webster and have adopted Worcester,"
contradicting the assertion in the most en-
phatic terms. aTruth is mighty and will
prevail; )" and when the public understand
the mems that have been resorted to by those
interested in the sale of Worcester, in order
to accomplish certain ends, the result cannot
be either to increase the sale Of that work or
displace Webster Columbus Fact.

MHAr ThEY SAY OF IT.-A correspondent

Perry Statue about to be inauguIated in this
city, uses the following highlycOmplimentsTy

This splendid work Of an art is now in
anadvanced state Of completion, and requires
but the finishing touch of hesculptors s chisel
to prepare it for the imposing ceremony Of
the Inauguration on the 10th Of September
next, a day when Commodore Perry per
formed deeds CT immortal Yalor. The NON
ument and statue is to be twenty-five feet
high Il is Of pure white marble, and an
erect figure of Perry in naval dress; one
hand extended as if commanding in battle
His countenance expresses exultation, and
his eyes fash FIRE; the attitude and expression
are life like and quite spirited Upon each
side are to be placed small statues of a naval
character, repreS enting sailor and mid
shipman, while in front is placed an alto
rslsivo representing that thrilling passage in
this memorable battle, where the intrepid
commander leaves the dismantled and sinking
LdgTsnes to her fate, and lowering himself
into his boat with 4 handful of followers,
pushes for the Niagara, and while the enemy
are shouting over their supposed victory,
sweeps down upon them in one triumphant
and victorious charge, each one of the enemy Is
ships striking their colors before his terrible
broadsides. The cost Of this statue is about
ten thousand dollars, and the eheerfnlness
with which it has been subscribed reH ects the
highest credit on the patriotism Of thscitizens

class of journals who are endeavoring t prepare the public mind for a quiet sub mission to Black Republican rule, that thu nomination of Lincoln and the defeat 0 Seward is the result of reaction in favo of conservatism among the Republicans A more dangerous and deceptive fallacy cannot be fastened upon the Southern mind. Whatever horror may be entertain ed by conservative men of all sections, 0 the radical and dangerous doctrines O William H. Seward, will be intensified 1T regard to Abe Lincoln, the coarse and reckless candidate from Illinois. It is 8 matter of historical record that Lincoln is the real author of the infamous dogma ol the 'sirrepressible conflict" In June 1858 four months before MT. Stewards Roches. ter speech, Lincoln avowed the same pes tilential idea, which was caught up by Se- ward, and has proved the ruin of the Black Republican leader of New York. Like the poisoned shirt of Nessus, 1t will stick to it's true author and will strip him of his political hide. Conservative men North and South will have their eyes fully open to the direful consequences of the eleva- tion of such man, holding and prepared 10 carry out such monstrous programme. A large body of the Northern people who have generally abslained from casting their votes, will be warned by the lurid dark ness glaring in the future, that the only safety for our institutions and for their own property and best interests, is to rally to the polls and "crush out' the monster. Black Republicanism, embodied in such men as Lincoln and Hamlin. Seward with his talent and education, might have felt 1t to his interest to play the conservative in case of his success; but from a man like Lincoln, who in his reckless hatred of the South, declared that he would delight to stand on the banks of the Ohio and hurl his missiles of fanaticism into the slave of Kentucky, nothing but the bitterest and most deadly fruit can be ex- pected. He has the malignity of old John Brown, without his self-sacriicing bravery, and good men of all sections and all par lies will turn with dismay from the bitter cup of disunion and civil and social dis cord presented to them. Lincoln is not a whit more conservative than Seward, and his nomination was brought about by no to conservatism.

 His advocates rely mainly for success lpon the continued divisions in the Dem- ocralic party. It has been the high mis- ion of the Democratic party on several rying occasions, to allay the storm of fac- ion and disorder, and to save the Consti- ution and the Union from disruption. We till have an abiding faith that it will be ,qual to the occasion. In this election are involved the existence and preservation of iberal and constitutional institutions, and ve yet look to the Democratic masses, in- dependent of the action of their leaders, o close up their divisions and place the upon firm and stable basis.

Reform.


We like to read well-ma1e paragraph,
and there is no one in the West who can
make more graphic one than the Local
of the Dubuque Herald. In late allusion
to the fact that several young men Of that
city had privately pledged each other to
"dry up" on alcohol and travel back to the
path Of sobriety and health, our friend
Wilkie flashes his diamond point as follows
This scorching hint will do for any latitude
in Iowa:


We don't know as we care great deal
or does society, il some fellow void Of intel.
lect, brute at home, fool or hog among
his companions, an ape in dress and man.
ners, choose to soak himself in whisky till
his boots get full Of snakes; his little intel.
lect burned completely out by firery drinks,
and he at length hides his bleared eyes,
bloated features and palsied form under the
ground, where worms may dine on him II
their appetites can stomach such . nasty
dish; but in cases Of an opposite class Of
men the thing is different. Society does
care. Society has . claim upon such men
--they have no right to put their intellects
t. soak in that villainous compound Of corn
and strychnine, known rs whisky-they
have no right to light MP their noses Is rud-
dy beacons, which reveal to others the
shoals Of degradation upon which they
stranded.


What right have men in whose souls
God has kindled fame great enough to
serve Is the advance fires Of Progress to be
seen by half . continent. to be drenching
tho blaze with bucketsfull of whisky? And
what can be the Anal result Of such course,
but to leave the soul in the condition Of .
burnt building extinguished BY FIRE engines
-charred. blackened timber. smoking em-
bers, puddles Of filthy water. dust and ash
es. No man, with shining eapseIty enough
to make star and light half tho world, has
. right to make miserable spirit-lamp Of

There is much more intellect in birds
than people suppose An instance of this
kind occurred the other day at slate quar-
ry belonging to friend, from whom we
have the narrative A thrush, not aware
of the expansive properties Of gunpowder,
thought proper to build her nest on a ridge
OF the quarry, in the very centre of which
they were constantly blasting the rock
At first she was very much dlscomposed
by the fragments flying in all directions
but still she would not quit her chosen 10
cality. She observed that bell rang
whenever a train was about to be fired,
and that at the moment the workmen re-
tlred to safe positions. In few days,
when she heard the bell, she quilted her
exposed situation and few down to where
the workmen sheltered themselves, drop
ping close to their feet. There she would
remain until the explosion had taken place,
and then return to her nest. The work
men observed this and narrated it TO their
employers, and it was also told to visitors
who came to view the quarry. The visi-
tors naturally expressed wish to witness
so curious a specimen of intellect. but as
the rock could not always be blasted when
visitors came, the bell was rung instead,
and for few times answered the same
purpose. The thrush few down close TO
where they stood, but she perceived the
change, and it interfered in the process Of
incubation the consequence was, that al
terwards when the bell was r,lng she
would peep over the ledge to ascertain il
/ the workmen retreated, and if they did
not she would remain where she was
