TAT WEEKLY SUN An Arkansas Letter. St Lcui3 Democrat.] Dover, October 3, ISI’2. My Dear Bov —The double-barrel that you sent came safe'y to hand, and I was only shot at once while carrying it home. Bill Slivers popped at me from behind the fence, as I was passing his house, but I had loaded the iwo-shooter as soon as I got it, and he didn’t jump up from behind that fence but once. lam glad that one of the barrels is a rifle, as 1 needed it for long range practice. The other I can fill with buckshot, and can riddle a man nicely at dose quarters. I mean to try both barrels on those Jetts when I meet them. You see, old man Jett stole a mule from us in the war, and when it was over pap laid for him and killed him. Then nigger Tom Jett, as we call him—the black-faced one —he laid for pap and plugged him. Then I picked a fuss with Tom, and cut him into giblets, and since that time hii brother Sam has been laying for me. I know it is his turn, but I think my double-barrel will prove too much for him. If you want to see fun come down for a while and biing a rifle. It don't make any difference which side you belong to, and it isn't even neces-„ry to join the mi litia. It is "easy to get up a grudge against somebody, and all you have to do is to lay for your man and knock him over. Be hind my pig pen is one of the sweetest hi li lg places 1 know or, and it is so handy! A good unity peop’e come within range in the course of a week, and a mau can pass his time right pleasantly. I wish you would send me a catalogue of Sutioay-school books, with the prices, if there are any in St. Louis. If we can get them on time we wili take a big lot of books. lam superintendent of the Bap tist Sunday-school now, and am l-unningit under a lull head of steam. Old mau By ers, who was turned out, is right road about it. and swears that he will chaw me up ; but he will chaw lead if he don’t keep clear of me. My wife wants to know if you can’t send her a set of teeth without her get ting measured Jor them. Her twenty five dollar set was busted all to flinders by a pistol shot that went through her mouth; but it didu’t hurt her tongue. Write soon to Your friend and pard, I*. S.—That sneaking, orney cuss. Sam Jett, up last night and fired at me thro ugh the window, but he didn’t hap pen to kill anybody except a nigger girl. I mean to go for him, though,--to-day, and will be glad of a chance to try the doubie barrell How She Did It. I will tell you a rather bare-faced story of how a Dublin chambermaid is said to have got twelve commercial travelers iuto eleven bed rooms ; and yet to have given each a separate room. Here we have the eleven bed rooms : _1 | 2 |~3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |_B | 9 | 10 | 11_ “ Now.’ said she, “if two of you gentle men will go into No. 1 bed room and wait there a few minutes, I’ll find a spare room for one of you as soon as I've shown the oihei-s to their rooms.” Well) now, hav ing thus bestowed two gentlemen in No. 1, sue puis the third iu No. 2, the fourth in No. 3, the fifth in No. 4, the sixth in No. 5, the seventh iu No. 6, the eighth in No. 7, the ninth in No. 8, the tenth in No. 9, and the eleventh in No. 10. bhe then came back to No. 1, whore you wifi. remeiiNfer, she left the twelfth gentleman along with the first, and said, “ I have ac commodated all ;tbe rest, and still have a to spare, so if one of you will please step into No. 11, you will find it empty. 7'hus the twelfth matt got his bed room. Os course there is a hole in the sauce-pan somewhere ; but I leave the reader to de termine exactly where the fallacy is, wich a just warning to think twice before deci ding as to which, if any, of the travelers was the “ odd man out.’* The Philadelphia Police.— The Age says: Our police are no longer protectors of the rights of all men, conservators of the peace in the city. They are corrupt, course, vulgar partisans, who trample upon the laws wLh impunity, and permit others to do so, when aiding them in their efforts to retain plade, power and plunder. No wonder crime is increasing iu our city ivith such alarming rapidity when the po lice are among the worse criminals outside of the penitentiary, Wheu they hire a man to act as a repeal er, that man will take the liberty to crack a b,.nk or pick a pocket, aud they will shut their eyes to the acts of their tools. This is one result of the late election, which men of prop erty should ponder in a Culm, serious man ner. Two Sides. There are funny things in this World, and nothing ever was funnier than reports by rival paper of some thing which one supports and the other opposes. There was a demonstation in Nashville on Saturday night in hon or of Cheatham. The Banner is for Johnson and the American for Cheatham. The accounts are comi cally antagonistic. Says the Banner: "The Cheatham funeral.’ Says the American: “The great Cheatam demonstration. Quoth the Banner, “the most pitiable political failure of the cam paign. Quoth the American, "twelve thousand people on i the square, the city wild with enthusiasm. Mourns the Banner, “lighted to his political tomb by ltttle boys irrespective of color-” Boasts the American, “the old hero honored by the people of Tennessee.” CONFEDERATE monument. WE once more earnestly solicit the at tention of our people to the enter prise for the erection of a Monument in honor cf the Confederate Dead of Georgia and others who were killed or died on Georgia Roil. The time for the distiibu tion is rapidly approaching. It will take place in this city, on the 4th of December next, Deo Yojan'e. There will positively be no postponesent. All sates will stop on .the 2 Oth of November. The fate of this effort w ill be decided then. Our people will exhibit their gratitude for the bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders, o_ ex hibit to the world their cold indifference. They will exhibit their pride or its loss ; their appreciation of those who fell in their service, or a disregard pf the noblest sacrifice which riftn can make for hisowu land, bis people and their homes. We yet believe ttic spirits ofcthe dead still haunt the land they loved and for which they died. We vet believe that those who live in these haunts of love will substantially prove their devotion to the dead “Foldieityin Gray.” Hundreds, yea thousands Upon thousands, will wish to become shareholders in the tribute to their fame betweeu now and the 20th of Novem her. We most respectfully request them to reflect. Those thousands of names thrown upon us at the last moment may «o ovet whelm us as to make it impossible to prepaie all of their certificates, record their names, mail them and prepare the numbers for the drawing on vhe 4th of December- Hence much money may be necessarily returned, to the detriment of the cause and their disappointm nt in the chances at the distribution of the prizes- Let those, then, who have the means aDd intend to contribute do ~o at once. If some are not ready and must wait, Ist their contributions come as soon as they are able to make them to the Agents i.i their local ity, or to this office. ... Have no fear* of trickery., or fraud, or speculation Whatever may have haps pened in other schemes or sections, we have an organized Association, consisting of some of of our best citizens. An ex pose will be made of all that Las been and will be done in connection with this en terprise All will be fait and honorable. If all the tickets shall be sold, the amount to be distributed will be in curren cy, one hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars ; in real estate, ninety-nine thou sand dollars; in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, m king a grand total of two liun died and fifty thousand dollars. If all the tickets are notsoldthe amount received (after deducting the portion al lotted to the Monument, the commissiohs of the Agents, snd the sum required to de fray the necessary expenses,) will be dis tributed among the shareholders. The piece lienee in this latter case will be given —lst, to the 1,744 prizes in currency; 2d, to the real estate ; 3d, to the cotton. We ai'e pleased to stale that expenses have been much diminished by the liber ality of a poriion of the newspapers, and the boundless assistance rendered us free of charge by the Southern Express Compa ny of this city. Should any who have made, or mav make voluntary donations to any amount, desire to exchange their special tickets for others which furnish chances in the draw ing, we or our Agent, in this or other States, will cheerfully comply with their wishes. We propose to'furnisb two whole tickets to the proprietor of any weekly paper, and three to the proprietor of any daily paper, in this State, or out of it, who will publish this notice until the 20th of November, jn doing this we ai\» aware they will be influenced by liberality of sentiment, rather than remuneration, for their work.
