(./’The President of the United States having
been invited by the authorities of Lowell, Moss., ;
to visit that city, has sent an answer in which he
refers to the recent agitations in the country, which !
ate not yet entirely quieted. He trusts that he
may be able to visit Lowell some time during the
summer. . |
Jj" Both the brauebet of the ^cgtslsture of Con
necticut, with but a single dissenting voiee, passed
a resolution expressing the high consideration and
respect for the President entertained in that State.
They appointed a committee of four Senators and
four Hepresentatives, to bear the invitation to the ■
President, and extend the invitation to his Cabinet i
and others.
Important Mist ion.
It hns been announced that Mr. Kennedy is
about to depart for England, for the purpose,
among others, of examining the inodes their pur
sued of procuring and arranging the statistics of (
the couutry. We now learn from the American
Telegraph that Mr. K. will visit, also, the capitals
of other European countries, including St. Peters- j
burg, upon a like mission. A valuable corapila
tion of census statistics may be expected as one >
important result of this mission. H
Uj- The Indiana Slate Sentinel says that from
seventy to eighty thousand beef cattle are driven
annually through Covington and Lafayette, on the 1
Wabash, and through Anderson, Muncietown, and
Winchester, White Kiver, fora market on the At
lantic seaboard.
Internal improvement.
The citizens of Camden are exerting themselves :
manfully to promote the construction of the Oua- j
1 chita and Red River Plank road. A popular meet- ,
ing was held at Camden on the 23d ult., and the 1
city authorities authorized to subscribe 20,000
dollars to the road, and arrangements were made j
to obtain the money at an early day.
In connection with this subject the Ouachita
Herald suggists the holding of a State lutemal
Improvement Convantion in Little Rock, during ^
i this summer.
The suggestion is an excellent one. Such a j
| convention composed of men of enlarged views
and intelligence would perhaps arouse the dor- ^
maut energies of our citizens and enable the State -
in a few years to be covered with good roads, in- I
1 creasing the comfort and profits of our farmers, I
and adding immensely to the value of their lands.
We can not yet fix upon what time will be most j
i suitable, but we say by all means let us have the j
convention; let the press agitate the subject until j
their readers are awakened to the importance I
and utility of some system of iuternal improve- I
ments in Arkansas. If primary meetings were i
held in all the counties, and thesubjectcanvassed,
the time of holding the convention coutd be easily
arranged.
The Latest fashion for Ladies.
Much has already appeared regarding the revo ,
; lution ofcerlam ladies at the North, and especially
| in the State of New York, are attempting to make
in their style of dressing. Among the most forward
i of the reformers—the one most determined and in*
!
I
dcfatigablc in giving her sex more of an outward
masculine appearance — is Mrs. Bloomer, who
edits a journal rejoicing under the very pretty j
name of the “ Lily.” She splurges right manful- j
ly in trowsers, and don’t apiiear to care a pin if
all the world sees her. In a recent article she j
thus describes her apparel:
Our costume is as yet by no means perfected; j
there is .a lack of harmony iu the dress we now j
wear, winch is different from,1 he reigning fashion :
except that our skirts have been robbed of about
a foot of their former length, and a pair of loose
trowsers, of the same material as the dress, sub
stituted. These latter extend from the waist to
the ankle, and may be gathered into a baud aud
i buttoned rouud the ankle, or what we think pret
' tier, gathered or plaited up, about two inches in
Jepth, and left sutfit lently wide for the foot to pass
1 through, and allow of their falling over the top of
the gaiter. They may be trimmed tosuil the taste
of the wearer. Instead of the whalebone bodice,
the dress should he made with a sack front, tm- j
tire from tlie shoulder to the knee, and a tight back, |
with the skirt gathered in as usual; or cut the j
whole in the style—fitting the form to the waist;
l —and then let it swell out, giving sufficient full-1
i ness to the skirt. Hhawls must be abandoned, |
i and a sack or mantilla take their place j a nice |
I fitting boot of gaiter and a round bat would make
the whole nmque. Our dress is thus far a mere
experiment, and not what we think it should be.
It takes lime to revolutionize one’s wardrobe, as :
well as one's opinions.
Ill another paper we see that a certain Mr*. I>«r- j
leigli, with her daughters, recently attended the
i Abolition Convention at Syracuse—-rigged out in
Mrs. Bloomer's coatuuie—loose trowsers, frock
coats and straw fiats. No mention is made; as to
whether the boys got after Mrs. Burleigh *nd
daughters, but they might have done so.
P. S. Since the above took our eye, we have
seen in a New York paper two ladies, dressed in
Turkish pantaloons, have attracted considerable .
notice in Broadway, where they parade and figure;
several hours eachday. They aresaid to be intel- j
leetual looking women, young enough to be quite,
attractive, while their skirts hang no lower than;
their k ices. We shall chronicle the first appear- 1
anc • of any such eccentricities out our way. - '

Ueuerai llitilroad l our cation at New
Orlenus in June.
The Convention called for a special road, ex
cited so much mtert-st as almost to throw the gen- I
eral Convention into obscurity. The papers are.
filled with discussions, growing out of the resolu- ;
lions and pinciptet advanced at the Jacksim Kail
road Convention. Th d-Watrs, however, who!
will assemble here in June, will discuss fully the
various projects for Internal Improvements, and
digest some general system embracing the South
west.
Then will be the time and place for the advo
cates of the different roadsto be heard, m rapport
of their favorite measures Memphis and Selma 1
ought to be represented in this meeting—Texas 1
should send delegates. Arkansas is not too dis-!
tant. They will find here a city full awake to the!
importance of the subject—.Y. O Crrtcmt.
LITTLE ROCK, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1851.
No. 40.
The Great Exhibition. America* foutribationa.
Mr. Biddle, the American agent, write* under
date of Loudon, April lbth, 1861, a* follows:
Package*, just arrived at the docks and depots,
are crowded with all speed to the door* of adinis
*ion; empty cases are taken from the a*enues as
fast as they are relieved of their goods: the hoard
tugs that have separated the vatioua compartments
are toru away, thus cringing workmen of different
languages, complexions, and habits, side by side;
tbe crimson colored counters on eacli side of the
central aveuue, extending nearly one third of a
mile, are beginning to be covered with the choicest
fabrics and the richest inanufactnres; the deep
bays in the rear are filling with every model and
variety of machinery; the walls are displaying
maps, charts, diagrams, daguerreotypes, and pain;
ings in countless profusion; the working machinery
is founded and set up, geared, shafted, and belted
in readiness for motion, and the whole building in
every part and department, from the light galleries
that span the transept to the distant Urtnim on
either side that bound tbe nave, is hastening to
wards a completeness, that but a single week ago.
Seemed next to a thing impossible.
In all this hurry and bustle of preparation, our
United States department is not lying still. Of all
foreign' nations, last upon the ground, and not least
in obstacles that beset every step of progress, 1
have the satisfaction to inform you that, if we are
nut already foremost in the march towards com
pletion, we have nl least that order and precision
in our work that will ensure us tkerr within the
time appointed.
With but few exceptions, our contributors have
enlisted with a characteristic national energy in
the work of preparation, and, without regard to
npi>earanres, have volunteered their services for
any ami every work that the day or occasion has
required.
la many of our manufactures there is already
much interest taken by members of the Royal Com
mission, and others who have the entre of the
building. In our carriages, for example, of whieb
we have u variety, there is much to excite constant
curiosity. The marked difference they show to
everything of English make; the grace of form,
lightness of material, elegance of finish, freedom
from noise in their quickest movement, and taste
in ornament of springs anil lamps and axles, are
manifest in nearly all the specimens that have been
sent, and the combination they present of great
strength with extreme lightness*, weighing in sev
eral instances less than one-third of an English ve
hicle of the same description, are the subject.-! of
never-wearying remark. We have fine spec,mens
of the staple of our great West, in lard oil, adaman
tine candles, barrels of sail pork, and thoroughly
cured hams. The valley of the Genessee has con
tributed from its best wheat and finest flour, in
liberal profusion. The cities of the seaboard are
represented in articles of beauty, elegance, rich
ness, and fashion: while the workshops and manu
factories of New' England have sent of their machi
nery and products, not enough, indeed, to give a
fair idea of their vastness and importance, but
still sufficient to show the representatives of other
nations that, in all that pertains to the saving of
labor, we are fully their equals.
I have proceeded, and am proceeding still, with
out waiting for the presence of owners, agents, or
consignees, in the opening of all packages and re
moving their contents to the counters where they
are to be displayed. This has been rendered nec
essary by the order of the Koval Commissioners,
commanding all parking cases to be removed from
the building on or before the evening of the 19th
inslant.
Groups of exquisite statuary occupy every
vacant spot of the extended nave and arched
transpet. These come, not alone fnmi the home
of the Pine Arts in Southern Europe, but from al
most every portion of the globe—from the nothern
Continental communities, from historic Asia Minor,
from the vast colonial possessions of Great Britain,
as well as from the semi-barbarous nations of
Northern Africa and She southern Seas. As you
pass from the great central entrance in either direc
tion, characteristics not of beautiful only, but of
sturdy and masculine industry, everywhere meet
the eve. Among fountains and pictures, Uerc are
models of great public works, gigantic telescopes,
huge ra.U-ay locomotives, Oolebrook Dale cast
ings, clocks, horologues, and planetaria, in almost
countless profusion. In agriculture there is scarce
ly a division, from that of >he Spanish, where
plows are shown that attach to the horns of oxen,
to the latest patented improvement which England
exhibits, that does not tend to vie for supremacy.
Harrows, clod-crushers, seed sowers, carts, wa
gons, wheels of the most approved construction
for farm purposes, chums, cheese presses, models
of barns, stalls, and stables, flails, hrks, rakes,
scythes, winnowing machines, grain reapers b)
horse power, and every other conceivable instru
ment for tbe field or the garden arc piled up in
their appropriate places fo. the inspection of the
Juries of Awards. In the department of the ma
chinery, the observer finds objects, in number and
inventive genius, sufficient for the study of a life
time. Machines for every pur|>o'e, from breaking
the cane stalks to making percussion caps; from
the pump that throws its 1,000 gallons of w'aler a
minute, to microscopic gravers that reduce draw
ing to tbe smallest possible compass, are spread
out over an immense surface. And yet these arc
small in their show when compared with machi
n- ry in motion, to which the largest compartment
of the Crystal Palace is devoted.
Krom every country that has furnished machinery
to be moved is this one division the vast recipieut.
As one passes through the narrow spaces that are
left unfilled—as one stops to look behind and be
fore at tbe wheels and cylinders and shafts and
gearing and pistons that fill the immense distance
—as one meets a printing press, a lathe, a hydrau
lic forcer, a set of cards, a spinning jenny, a loom,
a pump, a stone smoother, a butt saw, a tripham
mer, a groover, a gunstock shaper, and sees in
each such ponderous power; and then as one mul
tiplies bv tens almost every machine he meets—
only to fall short oi the numbers there—the aston
ishment one feels becomes amaze ment at what all
this gigantic workshop will be when the steam
power in tlic neighboring building shall have set
it m motion.
Ttit» Week'* Miracle.
One of the editors of the Horn/- J</umalgives the
following:
' That one mind can be divided and inhabit two
bodies—one body knowing, at least, every thing
that the eyes of the oilier body see—we saw
proved incontestably, and to our great astonish
ment yesterday. At one end of a room, forty feet
long, we wrote, at a desk, with Monsieur Gauduii
looking over tis. The nephew of this gentleman
st'Kjd with his bar k to us, at the end of the room,
forty feet off, and without his uncle's turning to
wards him, or sm-akiin; a word, rraU ir.W kt legate.
We tried it with Words and arithmetical figures,
and with eh a need-opened passages of books on the
table. We tried it with a wail between. All that
one saw, the other instantly read. There is to be a
public cxbtbiiiou of this unexplained phenomenon,
tnd no person of ordinary curiosity, will not fail
to go and see its experiments. M. Qandnn has
been a sub-officer of the Prencb army, and hit
nephew is an interesting looking lad of seventeen.
Minims would literally be no privation of tight to
this boy—be sees with tbeeyes of another, as with
bis own. Were we blind tve should lose no
nine in trying whether this seeing by proxy is
is not one of Nature’s enlttvatabla secrets. It
bolds out a hupc to damaged eyesight, as it is.—
fancy the luxury to an editor of bum# another
pah of eyes to dn his reading in the next room—
news entering his brain without giving bus own
eyes or ears the least trouble !’
Aggravating.
To see a good-looking man wrestling with your
*ife in a waits, without having the privilege of
going up and lightening hit neckerchief. To ease
your mind, read Cato or get drunk.
TRUST T9 TIB WTI RE.
j Trust to the Future—Tbo' gloomy and cheerles;
Prowls the dark Past, like a Ghost, at thy back.
Look not behind thee ; be hopefui and fearless ;
8tear to the right way and keep to the track t
Fling off Despair—it has strength like a giant—
: Shoulder thy purpose, and, boldly defiant,
j Save to the Right, stand unmoved ami unpliant!
Faith and God’s promise the good never lack.
; Trust to the Future !—the present may fright thee j
Scowling so fearfully close at thy side ;
Face it unmoved, and no present can blight thee—
He who stands boldv, each blast shall abide.
Never a storm but the tainted air needs it,
I Never a : torrn but the sunshine succeeds it ;
Each had a lesson, and he alone reads it
Kighltly, who takes it and makes it his guide.
Trust to the Future !—It stands like au augel, j
Waiting to lead thee, t> bless and to cheer ;
Singing of Hope, like aotnr Messed F.vangtl,
Luring thee on to a brighter career.
Why should the Past or the Present oppress thee 11
: Stamp on their coils, for, with arms to caress thee,
I See, the Great Future stands yearing to bless thee;
Press boldly forward nor yied to a fear.
Trust to the Future ! It will not deceive thee
, So thou but meet it with brave heart and strong;
Now begin living anew, and, believe me,
Gladness and Triumph will follow ere tong ;
Never a night but there cometh a morrow,
Nevei a grief but the hopeful will borrow
' Something of gladness to lighten the sorrow ;
Life unto such is a Conqueror's Song !
Trust to the Future, then '—cease from thy weep

Faith and a firm heart are all that you need—
God and his angels have yet in their keeping,
Harvests of joy if we'il but sow the seed !
Deacou Smith’s Hull; Or, .Mike fc'iuk
iu a Tight Place.
IV scsoanuis.
Mike Fink, a notorious Buckeye hunter, was
contemporary with the celebrated Davy Crockett, 1
and Ins equal iu alfthings appertaiug to human
prowess. It was even said that the annuals in his j
neighborhood knew the crack of las ride, aud
would take to their secret lading places on the ,
first intimation that Mike was about. Vet strange j
though true, he was little known bevond his im- j
1 mediate “ aettlement.”
When we knew him he was an old man—the
blasts of seventeen winters had silvered over his
head and taken the elasticity from Ins limbs ; yet
in the whole of his life was Mike never worsted,
except upon one occasion. To use his language, j
ho never “gin in, used up, to anything that trav- j
elled on two legs or four,” but once.
" That once, we want,” said Bill Slasher, as
some dozen of us sat in the bar-room of the only j
tavern iu the “ settlement.”
"Gin it to us now Mike—you've promised long
enough, and you're old now, and needn’t care,” '
continued Bill.
“ Bight, right! Bill,” said Mike, “ but we'll open
with lekrr all round fust it'll kind o’ save my j
feelin's, I reckon—”
" Thar, that’s good. Better than t’other barrel,
if anything 1”
" Well, boys,” continued Mike, "you may talk
o' your scrimmages, tight places and sich like, and
subtract’em altogether in one allmighty big’un,
aud they haiu't no more to be compared to the one
1 war in, than a dead kitten to an o.d she bar 1
. I’ve fout all kiuds o’ vainnuts, from an Ingiu
down to a rattlesnake ! and never was will'n to j
quit fust, but this once—and 'twas with a Bull! I
" You see, boys, it was an awful hot day in j
i August, and 1 was nigh runmn’ off into pure iU j
when I war think.u' that a dip in the creek inout |
save me. W ell, that was a mighty nice place in i
(dd Deacon Smith’s medder for that partic'iar biz
sines*. So 1 went down amongst the bushes to
I unharness. I jist hauled the old rid shirt over
uiy head, and war Ihinkin' how scrumptious a fel.
ler of my size would feel a wallenn' round m that
ar water, aud was jest ’bout goin’.m, when 1 seed !
the Deacon’s Bull a makiu’ a B-lme to whar 1 ,
stood !
" 1 know’ll the old cuss, fur he'd shar'd more |
people than all the parsons o’ the “ settlements,” i
and cum mighty uear kill’ll a few. Thinks 1, I
Mike you're in rattier a tight place—get your j
i fix’ns o’, for he’ll be drivin’ them big horns o' hts
in yer bowels afore that time! Well, you’ll hev
' to try the varmint naked 1 rcek’n.
” The Bull war on one side o' the creek and 1
on the t’other, and the way he made the • silt' fly
for a while, as if he war a diggm my grave, war
1 distress iu !
"Come on, ye bellerin old heathen, said I, and
t don’t be stuudin’ that: for, as the old Deacon
says o’ the devil, ’yet not comely to look on.’
"This kind cf reach’d Ins undemanding ami j
made him more wisboiu ; for he hoofed a little like, |

lion. R. \V. Johnson.
It cannot but be gratifying to lion. U. W. John
.son for him to see with what unanimity h-s nann
has been taken up.by the whole Democracy o
this State, since his nomination. There has no'
lieen the slightest objection made to his nomina
non in any quarter of the State, but on the con
irary, every one seems to be perfectly satisfied am
delighted to have him as their standard bearer in th<
next Congressional election. As we said las
week, we can safely go to battle with such a gal
!ant leader.
We are apprised that there were other good ant
irue Democrats before the convention and we car
say with a truth that they all, though defeat*
themselves, appeared to be perfectly satis'’od will
Col. Johnson’s pseforment and all pledgi ’ ’hem
selves to give him their undivided support. This
is ‘right, and springs from the true Demorratu
spirit, and when any party are wholly united
though they may be in the minority (which is no
’he case in this instance by thousands) can, anc
will ultimately triumph.
We see that thp Whigs are somewhat chap-fal
leu as they looked forward for a* great flare up k
lhe Democratic ranks upon men, but iu this, the)
have been sadiy disappointed, and they now con
sole themselves by saying, “if the Demiorats hac
nominated any othei gentleman before the conven
lion they would have had a candidate in the field,”
..nd we see that the Washington Telegraph hai
rather intimated that they will try and start i
Union candidate, and names Mr. Preston, of Hele
na, Phillips county. We were not of opinion
that we had any d is unionist in the State, so loin
as the Constitution and laws of the Union were
strictly observed and carried out by the Genera
Government, and for the Whigs to try and run i
Clay I'nton man, we think they are too smart fai
that, as you cannot get any intelligent Whig in
the South to say that he is for the L nion, Consti
tution, or no Constitution. Wc are of opinion
that the intelligent people of Arkansas, ran not bt
gulled by any such false cry of Union, when there
is no Union. .We are for waiting, and seeing whai
will be the issue in the next Congress on tht
slavery question, before wc can say we are for tht
Union, and we are of opinion that the eyes of al
the South ar- fixed upon the course the next Con
ire.ss will take on this Southern question. A
question far above ail others that have ever been
presented for the consideration of the Southern

: hard tains harr swept like a deluge over this re
gion nf this country, washing the hills, drowning
1 the i;iU and bottoms, and sealing up tho vegetat
1 tag seed close ami hard in the earth, consequently :
preventing the young cotton plant from coming up
at all, or at beat, very feebly. Added to this, we
! hare had frequent light frosts through the month
1 of April, which have hindered almost entirely the
growth of the young plant, aod causing large quan
tities of it to die, and couatanUy diminishing a !
stand, which was not st first good, until there is I
getting to be much complaint, and many, we hear, 1
arc beginning to plow up and plant over again.—
These indications, are, to aay the least of them,
bad for the forthcoming' crop m this part of the
country. T«et not planters despair, however, but1
1 ply themselves with renewed energy, and base1
their hopes upon 'he old adage, that, '• a bad be
! ginning sometimes makes a good ending." There
1 is, as we sometimes say, "great come out m cot- i
| ton.” We will drop a word of advice just heiei j
while you are grieving over and nursing this little
■ sickly favorite, do not forgot the corn. We love
' the eotn crop, and Ibis must he our apology for
;' keeping its claims so constantly before our readers,
and we tre also aware, that while cotton has suf- i
feted moat by unpropitnus seasons, the corn crop
is also backward and small, and ntvda that sort of
physicing which is to be found alone in deep,
1 close plowing sod a little hoe work thrown m, as
occasion may require. In this month, recollect,
r the grass grows while its foenian sleeps, and that
. it makes no truce with corn and cotton. Slay it,
: therefore, while it is young, lest a few indulged
j days of undisturbed growth may make it obstinate
! in its claims and reluctant to give up the pusses
! sion. Since the curse pronounced m Eden, it is
conquered only in the sweat of the brow. The
wheat and oat crops, we understand, are generally
good. The former will be harvested before we
hold converse again. That intended for seed, I
should be fully ripe before cutting, and if you
want good flour, cut your wheal when it is in the
dough state, and never let it get wet again after it
lias been once dried. Thresh and put it away at 1
I or ce.
•oath (aroliaa convention.
W*e devote a considers tile portion of to-day’s
paper to extracts from several of our exchanges, .
containing information inspecting the .South Caro- ’
tma Southern Righta Convention. This body aa- ;
; sembled at Charleston oa the 5th, and adjourned |
1 on the 8th instant, after passing a series of Rcso
! lutions declaring that South Carolina cannot sub
i tat to the wrong and aggressions which have been
perpt rated on her by the Federal tJovcrnment and
the Northern States, without dishonor and rum;
1 expressing sn earnest desire for the co-operation of i
1 the other Southern States: afirnmg the right of a 1
i State to secede from the Union as a necessary oott- 1
sequence of her sovereignty; and resolving that |
; South Carolina should secede st some future day, !
' though she should do so alone; and calling on the .
i Legislature to tske the necessary steps to hold s :
Convention of the people, to exert the sovereign
power of the State in defence of its nghts. They I
also adopted a spirited address to the Southern !
Rights Associations of the other Southern States.
That the principle on which South Carolina acts 1
is just, we think every State rights roan will readi- 1
ly admit, but the prudence and expediency of the
present and contemplated movements, may be iia
; ble to question. It should be remembered that we
! cannot force public sentiment, and it is unques
j nonably the fact that a large number of oar citi
zens have aol abandoned the hope that the South
will yet receive justice without recourse to ex
1 treme measures. Rut be the event what it may.
let it be reuteml>ered that the Democratic party
has ever and boldly opposed the assumption of un
, delegated (towers by tb*. Federal (ioverumeut and
the aggieasions of the North. Had the efforts of
! Randolph and Macon and others, staunch Deroo
; crata, been properly seconded and sustained when, '
more than thirty years ago, they predicted the very
stale of things which now exists, and declared that
they would not yield the nineteenth part of a hair,'
it bad not been thus with us. In the language of
; Langdou CheveS, “ The philosophy of liberty is }
jealousy. The proper action of patriotism is the
earliest possible resistance to the slightest en
! croactmient on the public rights." We feel that
it is time that this exciting question was settled.
Wemay exercise forbearance, we may cry peaoe,
peace, but there a a lime when duty cries "if you
have humanity in you bear it not." It is due to
i posterity that we should not be infirm of purpose j
and put .ff the evil dsy, but :f we are involved

their intention*, it waa hauled on deck, severely be
laboured amidst sh»*tts and execrations, and spee
dily hauled up In the ’yard-arm.
The excitement on seeing two bodies dangling
high in the air waa inuel intense; auwe of the crowd
