lCcn.Ur.xic2 from Jirst page. Hiands cf Gen. Eraoot gathered tround ta obstruct 0v3 therL7, while many cf the citizens bra theirepportana aid to sustain the authority cf tha . court. Menaces, screaks, end horrid curses, tha .ruij cl irnpuidrg nd crossdcj steel, alternate cries cf psda fc&i rse, all commingled with the aw fa! explosion of fire arms, blended together a" vivid idea of pandemonium. But throughout all the tempestuous strife, two individuals might be observed as leaders in the whirlwind and utorra. .The new juJgs used his. little iron cane with terrible etacieney, crippling limbs, yet still sparing life; white Good-natured Bill BulTara,' imitating the clemency cf his honorable friend, and disdaining .the employment of knife or 'pistol, trtmpled and crushed down all opposition, roaring at every furious blow This Is the way to preserve order in court!' a sentiment which he accompanied with peals of wild laughter. In less than two minutes the party of the judge triumphed, the clique cf Gen. Smoot suffered a disastrous defeat, and the bully himself was borne away to prison. Such was the debut of Archibald Yell in Arkansas; and from that day his popularly as a man, as a judge, as a hero", and as a politician, went on rapidly and brilliantly increasing, till it eclipsed all the oldest and most powerful names. Within the first year of his emigration he became a candidate for the governor's chair, and, notwithstanding the bitterest opposition, he was elected by nine-tenths of the number of votes polled. At the end of hi a term he canvassed for Congress, and again swept the State like a hurricane. lie continued to serve with success in the supreme councils of the cation until the period of the war with Mexico. He then resigned, hurried home

to Arkansas, and raised a regiment of volunteer cavalry, with which : he made Ell possible dispatch for the scene of action. The writer ol the present sketch saw him on his line of march to coalesce with the grand army of occupation, and never will he forget the evening passed by the light of his hospitable camp fire on Red River, within the limits of Texas. The prophecy of his farewell words ring stil in my ears with mournful distinctness. I co, said he, with a look of fire, and in tones of thrilling emphasis, 'to make a fame that shall be co-extensive with the length and breath of the Union, or to extinguish life itself in a blaze of glory! lie kept his word: ho did both. lie arrived on the gory arena in time to witness the magnificent storm of the great day of Buena Vista; and where is the true chill of American birth that cannot name the three transcendant stars of chivalry who fell quenched in blood that day? aye, who fell, but as they fell shed a parting sun-burst of everlasting life-light over the field of glory and of graves! Dost remember! Hardin! Clay! Yell! We have only space remaining to glance current e calamo at the striking character of Gov. Yell's genius. It se mis from his childhood to htm been a triple compound cf blended courage, prudence and the love of approbation. Although born of very poor parents he was distinguished even when a boy alike by his daring, bin thirst for practical knowledge. As a lawyer, judga an A statesman, ha was far from being profound. He never sought for central problems embodying first principles; but he had an eye for consequences, near and remote, piercirg and farlirhiad as the eagle's.

rlcd In tho sea on : the evening oil his death, lie had been a missionary for 32 years. . Previous communications had, in some measure,-' prepared us for tho sad intelligence conveyed' in this brief notice. For more than thirty years, Dr. Judsoti lias occupied a prominent place, and exerted a . potent influence, in' the Christian world. Ho was one of the fathers, if, indeed, lie is not entitled to the honor of being considered the father, of American Missions. To him, and tho " lamented Luther llice, unquestionably belong the praise of having aroused tho Baptist denomination of the United States, to the importance of engaging in the Foreign Mission enterprise. - We need not sketch his hi story. What Christian reader is unacquainted with ids arduous labors, his severe sufferings, his hair-breath escapees from danger, unswerving devotion to the mission cause, his noble sacrifices on the alter of truth and righteousness, his life unblemished holiness, and his eminent success in diffusing the knowledge of CJhrist?. Few men, living or dead, have done more, in the present century, to call forth the energies, and direct the, eilbrfs of the! Christian world, than Dr. Jitdson. He was, unquestionably, a great man. The memoirs of his sell-denying noblelabors, will descend to the latest time. Had lie done nothing but translate the Bible into the Birman language, his name had deserved to rank among benefactors of, mankind; but as the pioneer, the guide, the master spirit of tltc Birman and Karen missions, ho performed a service whose effects, we trust, will continue to deepen and widen, until tho whole earth shall be brought under Messiah's peaceful reign. The life of such a man is atresure in the world. It does more than the most eloquent arguments can do, to convince us of the truth, efficiency, and excellence of tiie gos pel. Spain and tiieU. States. The Active Naval Movement The special correspondent of tho Philadelphia Inquirer, telegraphs from Wcchirigtart in relation to 'orders having been dispatched to Norfolk, ihr the immediate fittng out of all tho vessels at tho stations, as follows; "Their destination is said to be the West Indies, probably Cuba, and we have various rumors afloatasto the. causa Some- affirm that another Cuba Expedition is ' on feat, and others that Spain has ' assumed a tone towards the United Suites, which cannot for a moment be tolerated.

But what has my falser to do with my court ship? you would ask. A great deal reader. "Jerry," says he one day as we stopped from chopping wood a moment to wipe off the perspiration from our brows 'Jrry, how oid are you my son!" After scratching my head and figuring a long time with a lead pencil on a chip, I succeeded in bringing the sum to an answer. "Twenty-five years, four months, sev en &nd "You need'nt mind the partie'lars, Jer ry," exclaimed my sire in an amiable tone; and then laying his axe against the log. he sat himself upon it, and re newed his quid of tobaeco, which was equivalent to saying that he was about to enter into conversation embodying lengther words than his usual monosyllables. 1 took a seat by my old father and an ticipating the length cf Lis conversation, I 1st a cigar so that during the interim I might gaze at the smoke as it wreathed from my lips, and thu3 derive some amusement provided my father's lecture as I expected it would be might be as prolix as usual. , "Jerry," said my father after spitting deliberately, "you are plenty old enough to get married " "To get what?" "Married, Jerry, married; cr in other words to take unto your bosom a wife." "Gracious heaven father what do you mean!" And in the moment of consternation, I threw my cigar fiat on the earth, and scattered the sparks in every direction in the world except towards Symmes hole. "I mean just what I say, that you are now old enough to marry, and the sooner you get a wife, the sooner you'll be hapPy. "But father you know really you know how bashful J am never could look at a girl without experiencing premonitory symptoms of swooning." "Pshaw, just like I .used to be for all the world, but Jerry -" Well?" - "I've hit on apian, which I know would have answered ta a charm with me when 1 was of your age; End 1 don't see why it should not with you." "Do tell it to me then," I exclaimed getting decidedly short of breath; for read er I was then young and inexperienced, and like ell youthful people, I felt inclined to flutter in the light of woman's compa ny, till like most youths I should get my wings singed, like a miller in the Game of a candle. "Will you follow impl'ctily my direc tions?" said my father, looking at me askant his nose. - "Can't say that I will," end to prove th:t 1 dli'rt cave ', or 1 i .'.ed i i i3 t'.3 secret vhi:h I v. as t - tdhg to hear, I b-gn U tlrg 'eld h-.,dro.!,' k(-C h.g r cr':.'. tl..: v, i i fj.t u; a.i a chip. d.C3 d-.rt . .h tO k".yiV it. r.'.y we Led U fr ch:p o j f-;'r.

"Bashkslness! aye, I llko ta have for gotten that Jerry, when you go into tha presence cf women, just just hold up your head." "Yes, hold the head?" - "Take a deep breath " ' '"Deep breath goon." "And then puff it outcgain in rational conversation and depend upon it, you will not find women the terrible creatures after all you thought they were." And my father burst into a laugh yes a faugh;' old Joshua Prim who was seldom I'ver seen tu smile, now laughed at tny bjishfuliiess. and it cut me to the quick; and I resolved whatever hereafter might befall me, 1 would certainly repudiate my hereditary dilTidruce; and with this resolution firmly fixed I resolved that very evening to go over and visit Miss Judith Flvans, a pretty quakeress who lived on the farm adjoining ours. 'I am determined' said I totnyself, "that my father shall never laugh ogain about my bashfuhiess.' Alter partaking of an early supper, I commenced the duties of my toilet. I greased my boots well with tallow, some of which also gave gloss to my hair. I trimmed and beautified a pair of whis kers, vhich were in the second week of their juvenility. I placed upon my back a coat which had laid in my trunk for several months, with its blushing beauties thick upon it. I drew a vest ta match; and I encased my legs in a pair of pants which were scarcely .. acquainted' with them, and with the rufdes of my shirt protruding beyond the spitting point (I didn't take a chew of tobacco that night,) and my shirt collar shining wirh starch extending close under my ears, end kept securely within bounds by a capacious stock, (fresh from the needle) I considered myself about as handsome a young man as you would find in those parts; and so I was, and hadnt it been for that confounded but let me go on, and I will come to that by and by. As soon as it was dark enough to hear the owl's hoot, I adjusted on the side of my head as fins a bell-crowned beaver hat as ever was made (it cost me five dollars in cash) and started for the house of old Aaron Evans. "This night I pop the question or per ish" and to seal my resolution I brought my right fist into my left hand, with such force as to make the woods ring again; having thus given such energetic 'demonstrations of my resolution, I made directly on my course with rapid strides. There was alight in the parlor, "end that seemed propitious in the beginning; 'End afier I had evaded the dogs and walked into the parlor and beheld no one there, 1 considered my victory hall won. Soon I heard the patting of feet and the rusdi.ng of a silk dress, (by the way, I would advise all ladies who expect beaux to sea them, to wear silk dresses, for reasons easily known to themselves.) "Now Jeremiah, be a man," I exclaimed, and erecting my furm & elevating my head, I confronted the door with all. that desperate courage, which you observe' in a soldier when awaiting tho "dreadful charge. And sure enough it was Judith. She tutored the (loir singing loudly, but upon perceiving that ihe room va .not as vacant as she h imagined, shd started, mured :.n f xch .i-tthm; r " d uiih dr w t::.'.it t ) i .. t d c r L evi dent embarrassment, stood I f..r-- me. i j p-T'rirg i'i ! r i. :.:ji'i 1 Ni' -.
