I,u '* P..J W.tl This question addressed to the Arkansas Benner, the Yell men, the Yell candidates of  accompanied Gov. Butler throughout his recent expedition, that there were probably some 5000 Indians present during the Council on the Brazos. This multitude of wild Indians coming together, to form a treaty with the United States, gives a guarantee that they were in earnest. The treaty so made with them by Gov. P. M. Butler and Col. M. G. Lewis, is of great importance, and its effects will be visible for good to these nomads of the western prairies. Buller and Lewis are new in Washington City with their delegation of Cummings at all. (Gen. Maj. Elias Rector, U. S. Marshal, passed down to Little Rock this week, wishing the two men who shot young Wheeler recently, and Ellis Starr. The two first were savage-looking devils; Starr has a good-humored face. Mail Arrangement. By the new schedule of Routes for the mail carriages, we note some changes in the times of departure and arrival. The Southern mail leaves this place on Sundays and Mondays as usual: leaves Scotia same days and arrives here next days, Mondays and Thursdays. The Northern mail leaves this place Tuesdays and Fridays, arrives at Fayetteville next days; leaves Fayetteville Tuesdays and Fridays, and arrives here Wednesdays and Saturdays. We notice that the Missouri papers are scoring Hon. Sterling Price for leaving Congress, with a communication to the Senate. Al regiment of volunteers to Those called by the Governor. Wonder if Gov. Yell had his command in his pocket as Colonel before he reached Washington. We understand that he had his instructions, as Colonel before the election was held. The Van Buren Argus were the first company mustered into service at Washington. Their horses were valued low. The Washington county company were subsisted by the hospitality of the citizens of Hempstead. They are eager to go to Mexico, and we trust they will get a chance, for they are, in men and horses, the " crack " company. Gen. Y.11, last advices, was playing his usual game of farming: kneading and baking bread, and wearing his old hat, all for the sake of the people. At the same time his constituents are suffering from his absence from Congress. We have not heard the result of the election for Colonel, though we heard from good authority, that Gov. Yell had his instructions as Colonel in his pocket before the election. The Mississippi companies have elected Jefferson Davis their Colonel, but unlike our Gov. Yell, he was elected by his people while he was at his post in Congress, and called home by his constituents. The "Yells and Alleys." The Cher. Adv. proposes, on the principle pursued towards the Cherokees, that these two parties be divided—White river furnishing a good, natural boundary. A very clever hit, Mr. Ross; but we don't quite come up to the parties in your country, if we are "bellicose" De as? This immortal day was celebrated by the Van Buren Sunday School in an In imposing and impressive manner; in such a way that the hearts of budding girls and youths were lighted by the flame of patriotism. Peculiarly proud this day all over happy, free, victorious America. The procession marched to the Court house, in beautiful order; where the assembly listened to the Recollections of Independence, read by J. J. Green, Ewp, and to an oration, from Jesse Turner. Esq., which was worthy of the audience, the day, and the subject. Just credit is due to Mistresses Gross, Irvin, and Bishop for their excellent management of the procession, the taste of the banner, and the goal of the collation. We did not see one drunken person the whole day! This celebration has done credit to the town of Van Buren. The news of the American victories over the Mexicans, came upon the English like a thunderbolt. A rumor is going the rounds of the papers, that England has sent out an agent to compromise the Mexican difficulties. For our part, we should distrust all compromises which England offers. She has an interest in the Mexican revenues, and her anxiety for peace between us and Mexico, is only a rose to keep us from getting California, upon which province she has cast a greedy eye. In the opinion of the New Orleans Picayune, Gen. Paredes will make yet another stand (in person) against the American forces, to wipe off the stains of the recent defeats. But Gen. Paredes will suffer the same fate, which his Generals received at the hand of Gen. Taylor. The Cherokee Advocate, in its assumed censorship over this paper, has discovered “errors” in its columns. It seems to us a little business to note so trifling errors, but chance a simple question. “Error 1st” we corrected the next week after publication; “Error 2nd” lies on our informant’s shoulders—we gave his story and no more. The men who shot young Wheeler were never of Lewis Ross’ guards, but merely reported such. So far as we are concerned, we cheerfully correct all such tiny mistakes. Backed error. We team, from various sources, that Dr. Allen, one of the Ye// candidates for the Legislature, after having visited various sections of the county, has learned that it is useless for anyone to run against the nominees, who Ashley men. He has “thrown up his hand” and is no longer a candidate. In this, Dr. Allen has shown wisdom which his colleagues would do well to emulate. We have also learned that the “Walnut Tree caucus was in session the other day, and has concluded to “nominate” Esquire Woolage, also of Huger Creek. "Crying copying the remarks of a correspondent of the "Amen." The "Amen" remarks of a correspondent of the "Amen," where he heaps indignation upon Gov. Yell, (which the Banner has twice copied, being hard pushed for praise to be shown upon its master,) the Banner makes an exceedingly mis-timed quotation—that where the correspondent speaks of Gov. Yell’s "being at his post." Does the Banner intend to throw dust in the eyes of its readers, and make them believe that Gov. Yell, in addition to his other qualities, possesses that of ubiquity also? Why does not the Banner note the fact that Gov. Yell has described that post, as which he should be but is not? Because the Banner is so wilfully blind that it never sees Gov. Yell’s faults, much less publishes them to the people. Mr. Rutherford, please copy this article, and directly under it, the opinions which nine out of ten of "Washington Correspondents" entertain and publish concerning this move of Yell’s. It will please the people; please Mr. Pelham, Surveyor General, who has been so much benefited by Gov. Yell being "at his post." An Explanation.—Mr. Carnail, a Candidate for Sheriff, has taken some exceptions to our remarks upon the Yell Candidates at Oliver's Spring; where he spoke of the Yell Candidates, among whom was one for Sheriff, being dissatisfied with the remarks of Mr. Clarke. Mr. Carnall does not like the name of Y'ell. Candidate, the by filing our remarks to himself, he appears to us to reckon himself a Y'ell Candidate. He says he is a Y'ell man, but neither a Y'ell nor an Ashley Candidate. How can divide the difference between a Candidate who is a Y'ell that has, and a Y'ell Candidate, is more than we can money; about like the difference between "tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee." One thing we know, that the Ashley men look upon all those who are not for them, as against them; and if Mr. Carnall is not "for Ashley, or Ye I," but a "Y'ell man," we know he belongs to our opponents' party. Mr. Carnall objects to our saying the Y'ell men, so far as he was concerned, were dissatisfied with Mr. Clarke's speech. We have good authority to refer to, when we say that a visitation was discernible during the speaking of the candidates at Oliver's spring, and if Mr. Carnall desires to know who the authority is he can learn it of us, provided he deems what was said of a libellous nature. We leave it to observing judges whether Mr. Carnall is or is not a Y'ell candidate.— This is all we have to say. LET THE PEOPLE READ. Gov. Y'ell's count. Our Representative to (but not) Congress must own. In July, when we were made aware of how shall we account for his recent acts—acts which the most secure politician, who avenges his people with an influence perfectly despotic, would not in his wildest vagaries dare do. A few weeks ago, we heard of an pledge given to David Walker, who held in our own power the proof of this pledge, which shall be produced the moment anyone of Gov. Yell’s friends deny it in a public manner. We have also in our possession a letter written to one of us, when Gov. Yell, while member elect of Congress, two days after election, declared that he declined a renomination to the House of Representatives, and thereby that it was positively declared, that he was a candidate for the U. S. Senate. In this letter, he also pointed out to us with a prophetic hand, the course the candidates for State elections would pursue, who were favorable to his aspirations for the Senate, and they would so come out even at the risk of disorganizing the party. We have seen this prophecy fulfilled in our own county by the appearance of three Yell candidates, who ask suffrage at the hands of an Ashley county. We supposed that these acts alone would be sufficient to condemn him forever; when we saw these letters, we thought that Gov. Yell had himself lit the torch at which his political reputation as a democrat would ignite and be consumed; we knew, then, that when the people had learned these acts, their indignant scorn would be showered down upon Gov. Yell, who has not only displayed the cloven foot of ambition, but TRAITOR-LIKE had the hardihood to give probable victory into the hands of our enemies! We might that Gov. Yell, could not commit any Further bold, dangerous, and heinous political sin; but we were mistaken. To these sins Gov. Yell has added another, equally of deserting his post when his services were greatly needed by his constituents, and by which they have already suffered. The exigencies of the war did not demand Gov. Yell’s services; ‘twere an insult to the chivalry and patriotism of the State to suppose such a thing for a moment. Gov. Yell is brave, say his apologists. Are there none in our State equally brave? He is fitted to lead the armies, say they. Are there none of our thousand gallant brothers, citizens of Virginia, Arkansas, as well qualified? Or must it be dark the stain such a saying will give—that Gov. Yell is the only brave leader in Arkansas, therefore it is necessary he should leave his post to fill the vacancy? God forbid any one in Arkansas should so think for one instant. Gov. Tel had no excuse for his desertion, save that furnished by his own mind to itself—tendency, as his political fortunes in Arkansas required that he should be in the State to create capital and electioneer for the Senate! That was his motive, so far as human knowledge can see into motives, and we judge of them by acts. But will the good sense of even Gov. Yell’s friends be called by them flimsy, gossamer-clad maneuvers? Will they suppose Gov. Yell did all for the glory of his country? No—they will rather think that he should have shown one single bill on the Congressional schedule, which he had attended to its finishing. He has not finished a single bill which he commenced even. Will the people entertain for one second, the vain imagination that Gov. Yell was moved to desert his jostled by patriotism when the war needed him not in the field but in the House of Representatives, when the State had her thousands of warriors who could and did crowd to her standard of Chivalry, but only one Representative to protect her interests and stand by her honor in our Legislative Halls? NO! MOST INFALLIBLY NO! Even his friends will, if they speak candidly, declare it to be a move of the most wretched and shallow humbuggery, and all of them be convinced that Gov. Yell has struck his own death blows. Since and during the canvass of 1844, Gov. Yell has (in private letters) declared that he was a candidate for the Senate, before he had taken his oath as member elect of Congress; has shown himself to be a friend of all those disorganizing candidates who were working for him, and not only a friend but the instigator of their movements against Ashley and the friends of Ashley, though the latter far outnumbered his own, as is demonstrated by the letter referred to when he prophesied they would appear. He has made a voluntary pledge to a Whig nominee for Congress, offering him his indirect support, and binding himself not to throw any obstacle in his way, but to make the race of the Whig nominee “easy,” so far as his influence extended. He gave to that nominee a power, full and complete, to defeat the democratic nominee, and had not the magnanimity of Walker interposed, preventing him from seizing these palpable advantages, Gov. Yell, when his competitor, must have been beaten, and through him the democratic party been covered with any Whig but glory. To render this pledge reasonable in the eyes of Mr. Walker, Gov. Yell styled to most ungracious and ungrateful language, the very men upon whose shoulders his immediate power rested, a “Swiss corps whom he had no ambition to command.” Recently he has deserted his post as the sole Representative of a sovereign State, and left his constituents without a defender of their rights. Protector of their interests, supporter of their bills, or maintainer us their honor, in the National legislature. Without cause, without excuse, without any call from his people, contrary to all duties which demanded and urged him to attend to his people, and in obedience to no call save the one sounded by his own unrighteous ambition, has he deserted his seat—and that for? ELECIONEER FOR THE SENATE against Col. Ashley while he is performing his duty where his constituents sent him, while he (Gov. Yell) is neglecting his. If these are not enormities, voluntary too, we freely acknowledge that our notions concerning political orthodoxy are erroneous and foolish, but at the same time we must also admit that there is no such thing as a political immorality!! (To be concluded next week.) The Arkansas Banner says that its subscribers in the North complain of its non-arrivals. We can assure the Editor of that paper that it is never delayed here, but takes its chance with other mail matter. If his subscribers don’t see it, this because they never call for it, or may have. I don't know that they are subscribers; one of the two. 4TH JULY IN MOUNTAIN TOWNSHIP Messrs. Washbourne & Pryor; Yesterday, as Aurora began to adorn, by his brilliant rays, the rocky cliffs and stalely peaks of the Frog Bayou mountains, were seen numerous trains of gayly attired women and joyous romping misses —their gay sweet hearts, brave husbands, and grave sires, wending their “winding way” to the Spring—one of nature’s select nooks, a fit place for freedom’s nurslings, in a romantic gorge, walled on either side by the rugged slope of Frog mountain, through which the sprightly waters of the Bayou passed, leaping and dancing in a giddy maze, on the shores of which, is the Spring—a noble one indeed, shaded by the immensity of foliage of aged and wide-spreading oak and sycamore. Here were assembled the beauty and chivalry of Mountain township, to devote the day to patriotic purposes—to pay tribute to the memory of the departed wives of the Revolution. It was a “feast of sentiment and flow of soul,” and one that the gourmand could endorse, if not one that the epicure could enjoy—and one too in a fruitful country where want never presents its unwelcome head, as the groaning tables bountifully supplied, amply testified. The noble steer was immolated at this sacrifice —lambs, shoots, and poultry sent up their quotas to this patriotic feast—many an innocent lure yielded up its rich stores of sweets on this occasion; and although there were upwards of four hundred persons present, ample arrangements were made to accommodate and entertain all. A table was spread upon the green sward beneath a dense shade, at which sixty-four “matrons,” who testified by their presence to the patriotic spirit which animated the bosoms of “American mothers,” were first sealed—the same number of a junior nags, took the second, and the seats of the third were partly filled with the “misses,” and carried out by the veterans, who hid breasted the raging elements of war in defense of their country. Mr. Ragsdale, a soldier of the Revolution, was first upon the list, with veterans of the list who assisted to vanquish the enemy under Jackson, Gaines, and Scott. About 12 o'clock, a prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Antery, after which the Declaration of Independence was read, in a clear and impressive manner, by Mr. Maurel Col. Clarke, delivered an eloquent address, and, although he had not received an intimation an hour previous that he would be called upon to perform that duty, he exceeded the expectations of his most sanguine friends—it was an eloquent outpouring of patriotic sentiment that told upon the hearts of all present. This was truly a national festival—particular discomfiture were laid on the shelf, and all went hand and heart, freely mingling like what they were, brothers of the American fraternity. Dwelling only upon the glorious achievements of our fathers of “76,” and of the blessed institutions hequenthed by them to us and our posterity, this day will long be remembered by the inhabitants of the “Narrows of Frog Bayou.” Not a single breach of the peace or decorum from the harmony of this large assemblage, and the managers of the barbecue are entitled to great credit for the spirit and style in which it was got up and conducted. MORGAN. Frog Bayou, 9th July, 1846. I see a communication in your last Saturday paper, from Big Creek, calling upon the Democracy of this county to give its undivided support to the nomination. Be assured, and I ask our friends in Big Creek to be assured, that “Richland” will do her duty. She has always done so—the people of this township have never turned their backs upon the democratic nominations yet. They have always stood shoulder to shoulder along side of the democracy of Big Creek, and have never shrank from its duty in the most darkened and even threatening hour. In township was represented in the convention and feels bound to support the nominees rather than the “disorganizers.” Disorganization is the order of the day now with a certain fiction in our ranks, or I may say out of our ranks. They are making every effort to defeat Cui. Ashley's re-election to the Senate at the hazard of ruining the whole democratic party, and they have resorted to the infamous attempt of disorganization to carry their purposes—but I think they are doomed to meet with two disappointment—Ashley will be elected, and the Democratic party will remain consolidated—there are enough of true democrats in the State to maintain our ascendency, without the aid of “independents,” disorganizers, and “softs” after the election is over, we will collect our scattered forces together, these “independents” will be found in the ranks of our enemies, but let them go—we can better contend against open enemies than secret foes. Don't startle, gentlemen, when I say that you may expect to find, at the next campaign Brown, Alton, and Sautz in the whig ranks—it is the bourne in which all dissenters from our ranks go—there are only two parties in this State, those who bolle from us go to our enemies. “Mazzard” may receive my hearty assurance that we will to a man, (all of the right stock) support the whole ticket. Bell, Clarke and Ake, and nothing but the whole ticket. We have never intended to do otherwise. A well man cannot get an office man to vote for him here under any circumstances, especially against a nominee. This will be the banner township—it will not only vote the ticket, but the township will vote it. We would be much pleased to lose Mr. Ake when he returns, but still, if his time will not admit of it, and he can make friends by going to other townships—we are all right anyway. Correspondence for the Arkansas Review, In the midst of much speculation for your correspondence, a word of peace. Another case of "unjust," the grand storm overshadowed us, is about to be moved, the question is settled, peaceable. The British Minister proposed forty-nine as the boundary. The whole of Vancouver's island and a Hudson's Bay Company during it, free navigation of the Columbia, the vote of 38 to 10 advised the Executives in a Treaty, the Treaty has been signed before the Senate, and will surely be ratified or tomorrow. I understand that both Senators voted for the proposition and only vote for the Treaty, and in so doing, I do right, that is, I think so. The Senate are in a bad streak. Mr. Allen has placed, as Chairman of the Committee on Relations, on account of the majority in this question to him. Senator by no means a favorite of mine, but he, of great strength and is destined to fill the place in public esteem. The House of Representatives, reached the Tariff bill and may be expected, the Tariff men will and expect to prevent the repeal of the law; I need not assure you that it's The appropriation for the Yard of Memphis has been struck out. The Naval appropriation bill has been struck out. The Senate has postponed the question of adjournment. The Great Western has arrived, the war between Mexico and the United States quite a sensation in England. Queen has presented her people with another. The Corn Laws had passed a second time, the House of Lords by a large majority, became a law. Prince Louis Buonaparte escaped from his prison at Ham, where he was confined for years. The Washington and Baltimore left this morning in the Steamship for the Rio Grande—Godspeed then. There is some talk of a despatch from Vera Cruz to Pensacola, which is brought up from Vera Cruz to Pensacola. I hope to hear peaceful news from Mexico deserves all and more than she gets. I rejoice to hear peaceful news from Mexico deserves all and more than she gets. You can hardly conceive the enthusiasm which General Taylor is universally spoken of as premature movements have been made in New York and New Jersey to nominate the Presidency—should he continue such his elevation to the Presidency is certain. I have not yet arrived, the daunted between Marcy and Scott is not likely to be any good, the people say he has gone or signified his willingness to go, fearing who shot him in the back, so it would be the fire from the enemy. I have now on account of his letter about just taking of hasty soup, the soubriquet us Gentile. This affair will injure Scott. Capt. Rogers, a Cherokee, whom you have well known in this city last week, attended to the grave by a large and number of citizens and strangers. Anas Cumanches and neighboring Chiefs are in this city in a few days. We have exceedingly warm weather this time. Joseph Cilley (brother of the House) has been elected to serve the unexpired term Judge Woodbury. John P. Hale, former has been elected for the next term. Cilley; the former is a good worthy man, and is a humbug. P. S.—I understand the Senate this evening, by a vote of the Senate, Washington City, June. The death of Hon. R. P. Herrick, in the House, from New York, which took place Saturday, and was announced yesterday, will be a short stop in business in either House. The funeral will take place today. The House has, at length, reached the question, and the debate has commenced, Speaker is not confined to any particular point, and generally takes random shots at each side of the general and nothing in particular; the foes of the prevent law are determined to make desperate struggles for success; are decidedly in favor of a repeal of the Revenue law. Col. Joseph Cilley, the newly appointed and took possession yesterday; he used to be a whig, but for years has been known as an ultra and a man; he is said to be a good sort of a fellow, a brother of the lamented Cilley who died near this city. At the expiration of the term in 1847, Mr. Hale takes these one sense, he will probably be the next in the Senate. General Gaines, and his aid, Capt. C., are here; the General, it is said, has decided that the Military Court Martial to investigate the old hero has unquestionably meant something for the best, but has certainly not been done. There seems to be a reason for General Scott, and all the squibs are likely to prove harmless. There is about the attempt to succeed Scott and make Taylor Commander in Chief. War; it will not do; Taylor is too gala to be used for any such purpose; he would persuade him to wear honors or wrested from senior and gallant men too much of a man for that. The rumored offer of mediation in the war, by Great Britain, has caused many to attribute to John Bull as he is interested in the revenues of others say he has his eyes no to arbitrate the matter. So as to prevent getting that territory: some give John proper impulses in the matter: you yourself, if Mr. Bull is that good heart friends would represent him; his bonnet. would have a fine field at home — his beautifully illustrated at his own. Something is very certain, we can for ourselves: an honorable peace.
