We have received several rather salty communications in allusion to a certain minister of the Gospel in this county, who is charged with being an abolitionist and a practical amalgamationist. As the individual alluded to is now absent from the country, we lay the subject over until his return, when we will give him such an overhauling, if the charges are true, as will make him sick of the Southern country. If he has been guilty of one-tenth of the accusations, nothing he can offer as extenuation can palliate his offences. He had better hide his head from the indignation of an insulted community. - Arkansas Intelligencer.
