BATHaYILLE. ARK's, July 18th, i84f.

 DEAR SIR-I on will have received, before this reaches you, the proceedings of the public meeting, al SmithvIle, on yesterday, nomi- hating Gen. DREW for Governor. If had time would give you full account of the whole affair, for, indeed, it was a fine one imay do so, hereafter Letit suffice, fol the present, to say, that Governor Yell and Mr Walker addressed the people, with their ae- customed ability. General Byrd made an attempt at a speech; but got along very bung- Hngly; and the people manifested no dispo- sitioa to hear There is not a Byrd man in the county, who is a Democrat. After the speaking, between 500 and 1000 persons sat down to a sumptuous barbecue. More than POO ladies were present. After the barbecue, Gen. DREW Has nominated for Governor. by the Democrats.

 \ gentleman, just from St. Francis, says he made diligent inquiry from there to Law renee county, and that he finds the popularity of Gen. DREW, in all that region, overwhelm- ing and inyincible. His popularity is unboun- ded in his old county of Randolph. There, where he has resided for 12 or I5 years, he will not lose 10 votes. This speaks most iayorably for his personal worth Whenever l met a Democratat at Smithville he expressed his joy at the nomination of DREW. It will greatly strengthen our ticket in the northern counties.

 Coy. Yell is somewhat indisposed with a cold and hoarseness; yet he is far more than a match for Walker.

 lis rumored here that Walker was insulted by the Democrats at Pocahontas, while he was speaking. The Wings are anxious fer persecution capital; and sl, probably, gel this iii their papers, and try to whine over it. l inquired into the matter; and am authorized to say that 1t is wholly untrue. He was treated with due respect x

 Yours, Sc. Sc
