eonag up in fine style, and ha« now risen four
feet at this place, with every prospect, from the
news that teaches oa from the west, of a flneatage
of water fee oar larger elaaa of boat*. The late
heavy and continued raiaa have been general, and
we doubt not that the report of a large riae above
la reliable._

able rise in the Ouachita river at Camden.

His great piety, indomitable energy and industry,

met and will ensure bun a warm lodgment in all
on hearts.
Rev. Andrew Hunter has a wide-spread fame
far talents, piety, «*sl snd industry —scarcely
2nailed by any preacher in the State. Rev. R.

excellent man and preacher, and just such a min

Juit returned on a visit to his friends and relatives
after a long absence. He was among (he first who
left to seek a home upon the shores of the Pacific.
We wen highly gratified to take him once more
by the hand.
(j We are indebted to the kindness of Dr. Sizer,
whom we ere glad u? zee beck again, for New

above all, and which has tended more to her just
appreciation of our virtues and merits, our ideas
and inventions, she has received at our hands two

months editor of the Arkansas Whig baa retired
from the caras and troubles incident to such a
position, for the purpose of resuming the practice

Fraa AsrantaToas.—How strange it is, says the
New York Times, that, if this marveious machine
possesses the power attributed to it, it has not
been tea led in one out of the many fires which oc
ear every day in New York. Every one, versed in
ebemical matters, knows that carbonic acid gas
extinguishes flame, but that it can arise to the u pper
story of a house in flames, requires the brain of a
gTeat philosopher to solve. We fan.y that if a
man ia a garret had some of these machines at
hand, he might put out a fire in the cellar, but
we should be extremely sorry to trust to the Un
der mercies of an annihilator did we reside unpro
tected in the “ aky parlor.” By the way, we see
that a Mr. Graham, an American, claims to have
been the originator of annihilators.
O’ Rev. Archibald Alexander, D.D., of the
Phaeton Theological Seminary, died on Wednes
day the 29th of October, at Princeton. Dr< Alex
ander was one of the oldest and most distinguished
clergymen of the Pteabyterian church in the Uni
ted Mates. He was elected a professor in the
Theological Seminary at Princeton, in 18 H, when
it was first established, and has contiaued in office
to the hour of his death.

O'A letter from Augusta, Ga., estimates that
the late froata hare destroyed from 150,000 to
300,000 bales of cotton in that region of country.
CT The bids for the enlargement of the Capitol
at Washington have been decided on. It is to be
of marble, and the coat is estimated at $5,000,
000 ! The marbIf and setting for the exterior, it
is said, wit) coat $1,200,000.
Cvasn Qeiertos.—A new question, arising out
of the late Cuban invasion, wilt be agitated during
the next session o. Congress. An attempt will tie
made to determine the extent to which the gov
ernment may interfere with the liberty of the citi
sen in restraining him from leaving the country
under any circumstances.
Lbl* Montis.—The Philadelphia Sun says,
many editors are advertising this woman, by dis
owning her demerits—(we have seen editorial
apologies for them !>—-but that the best way to
treat her is not to notice her at alt. She is a very
bad woman—a bawd—but she wit! soon occupy a
prominent place on our theatrical boards, and be
patronised by thousands of American ladies. ITis
a pity, to be sure, but esnnot be helped !
Cos*—In the late foreign news we have a re
port of a proposition having been made in the
cabinet of Spain to sell Cuba to England for the
anm of •160,000.000. This report appears to have
originated with the correspondent of a German
paper, aad is nowhere credited, so far as we observe,
, either in thia oouutry or in Europe.
A TsucuaavH to Eraors.—We notice the fact
that some of the Engloh papers basing their views
on thesuccemful connection of the ‘-Fist Anchored
Isle" with the continent, by the magnetic wire, are
•peculating upon the possibility of establishing
telegraphic communication with our distant shores.
The London AUtemaum bolds the project to be by
no means chimerical, but on the contrary, feasible.
It estimates that the communication could be per
fected for half a million of dollars :
" It proposes to carry a single #ire across to

We ley before ear reader* this week the pro
ceedings of the ConveMio* of Internal Iraprove
ment Conumatooets, end reeu—rood them tothew
earefnl per uni aed consideration. It i» to be
hoped that tbe action had hero by some of the
wiae men of tbe State will promote the study and
j examination of the aubjeeta prenentrd. No one,
who ere? reflected for a moment upon tbe condi
tion of the State, doubts the necessity of pood
roada. or out eidUty to ronstrnet apd maintain them.
Knowing and feeling the high importance of such
worka—their aUlHy aa a mean* of convenience to
our citizens, and their positive neceaaity to the
continued growth ami prosperity of the State, it
behoove® ua to make a commencement.
Mean* have been placed in our handa, a rich
donation haa been made to ua by the general gov
ernment, which, if properly appropriated to the
construction of acme one or two good roada, every
section and every county would immediately fe d
its beneficial influence. Our character and repu
tation aa an industrious, enterprising and prosper
ous people would be heralded abroad, and the re
sult would follow, that an immigration would be
induced into our limits which would soon locate
and improve large quantities of our immense va
cant lands.
It is high time for the Arkanaians lo begin to
fonder over their condition, to look forward to and
anticipate tbe future, to stir up and profit by the
present enthusiasm. Suffer tbe present moment
to pats by unimproved, and permit tbe deep en
thusiasm now agitating the public mind to die
sway in delays and disappointments, and years
may again elapse ere such another feeling could
be excited. It is hard to restore confidence when
once destroyed, and the people of Arkansas, if in
different and negligent now, will find it a difficult
thing to obtain hereafter even the meagre turnout
we witneased in the Commissioners’ Convention.
Now is tbe time to make the beginning—to tom

our deplorable condition. Perseverance and de
i termination in such a glorious cause mustVand

Louis Kossuth.
The address of this noble and whole-souled Hun
ganan, to the people of the 1'mted States has ap
peered in the papers. Its great k ngth preclude:
its entire publication at this time, which we morl
regret, aa it is a beautiful and able production.—
It is a forcible recital of the wrongs sustained bj
his native country, of her obstinate resistance, am
her final defeat. No one can read this touching
story without partaking of the feeling of sj inpatb]
, for this unhappy country and her exiled people.
Kossuth pours forth his whole s ul in gratitudi
and love to those nations, who. in rhe hour o
darkness and strife, consoled and animated the
i Hungarians in their bloody but falsi struggle fo
liberty. We much regret that the length of tb<
‘ address is too great -for the limits of our paper.—
We cau make only one small quotation:
" The Hungarians, more fortunate than I, »)i
' were able to reach the shores of the New Worl i
were received by the people and government o
the United States in the most generous manner—
| yes, like brothers. With one hand they hurlti
. anathemas at U.e despots, and with the other wel
' corned the humble exiles to partake of that gluri
oas American liberty more to be valued than lh«
glitter of crows. Our hearts are filled with emo
! lions to see how this great nation extends its svm
j pathy and aid to every Hungarian who is so fortu
nate as to arrive in America. The sympathetK
■ declaration of such a people, under such cireum
stauces, with similar seniunents in England, is noi
a mere sigh which the w ind blows away, but u
prophetic of the future. What a blessed sight tc
see whole nations actuated by such sentiments
Pree euiaensof America ! you inspired my coun
trymen to noldc deed#; your approval un(>*rte<
j confidence; your sympathy consoled in adversity,
gave a ray of hope fi r the future, and enabled u:
to bear the weight of our heavy burden; your fel
low-fee ing will sustain us till we realize the hope.

Accept, in the nunc of my couuirytiten, the ac
knowledgments of our warmest gratitude and oui
highest respect.”
Whig Marne*—Whig >1 ensures.
The New York Express, edited by Mr. Books, s
whig member of Congress from one of the city
districts, give* us the following new cogn- men a
the division . f the whig peri) in that State. It u
appropriate ami indeed somewhat poetical:
" * SiLvca c-aaia’ «M> ■ WuoLcr stiw.’—Thi.
State has been famoua forcing new names it
party politicians. The Stale has bgen divided ii,
‘ bucktaii*,’ • pewter muggers,’ etc., in aforetime*,
as now with ‘ locofoco*,’ ’hunkers.’ and ‘barn
i burners'—names all originating in New York.
"Two new par:its have recently come into ex
istence, dividing the whies as the • bunkers* am!
‘barnburners' divide the democrats; and these
new parties are already clnisteued ’silver-grays
and ’ woolly-heads.' The Utica Convention Fill
more men are nicknamed ’silver grsy*,’ and the
Syracuse Seward men arc nicknamed ’woolly
heads.'
’• These nicknames are not without meaning.
' The ‘sdver grays' are from the older, the graver
portion of the whig p/try, who have got cured of
tbe.r utmt, if any they ever had; and the * woolly
heads’ are those who, with Oov. Seward, think »o
much of the negro, that they can think hut very
little of the white man. • SUver-gcaygf ami ‘wool
ly-heads’are. therefore, the nicknames of the new
parties in the whig party.”

Rochester, N. Y., Oct. tiS, says :
"Great excitement was pro-lured here, to day,
in consequence of a new but very dark feature in
the political arena. The whig district convention
met, to-day, for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for the assembly; and on the first ballet it
was ascertained that J. P. Milliner, while man,
had forty four votes; Pied. Douglass, black men,
twenty-one; scattering, thirty-four. Mr. Milliner
was finally nominated by one majority.”— ML

We pobinb in to day's V*f*t • highly interesting
letter, from ex-Vice President, Osotge M. Dalles.
We here reed tbit letter with the greatest rare,
end do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the
ibint end soundest political doeumsnts now before
the public.
It will be observed that be pronounces the com
promise measures, from which the country wet
led to expect to much, a total failure— a delation;
and advocate* an amendment to the constitution
aa the only meant of resort left, by which totecurr
fur the.future, peace ond tranquility to the Union.
Sir. Dallas, in.tbia in‘creating letter, rise* above
the storm and influence offrretmlfimatiritm, and
in a manly, patriotic manner, addresses himself to
the hearts of the people. He tells them how de
lusive the great peace measures have proved, and
ttiat the situation of tht Union is so precarious, as
to require the speedy and powerful interposition if
the people and the States, lie is a lover of the
Union, and the devoted manner in which be has
torn himself aloof from those around him. whose
views am! opinions are so selfish, and so utterly
at war with the continuance pf the Union, proves
his patriotism.
How has the compromise benefited the country
at Urge, save l>y enriching one portion at the n
penseof the other? Has theact for the extradition
; of fugitives been faithfully, or partially executed ?
1 Or has it not ratheT proved a pretext for a pro
! tracted and persevering war upon the guarantees
| of the constitution ?
Instead of procuring the peace that was so boldly
1 predicted, and so rashly promised, the passage of
I this odious measure has been followed by murders,
riots and rescue* throughout tk« north, and bv a
I sullen and reluctant submission in the south.—
| This posture of affairs may in all probability last
i for sometime, but it cannot iast forever. One in
' novation scarcely ever satisfies the despoiler. One
1 successful gttempt is sure to invite a succeeding
! one, more desperate snd more irresistable than the
’ first, and though we may console oursehes with
! the song of peace, yet we cannot without fear and
trembling for the result, without melancholiy fore
bodings of evil to this great Republic, contemplate
the present unhappy posture of affairs.
Ker. Mr. Fletcher’* Speech.
We publish to-day the remarks of this gentleman
in the recent Internal Improvement Convention at
this place. It is concise and forcible and sets
forth in flattering terras the mineral wealth aud
advantages of Arkansas. As Mr. Fletcher 1 as just
returned from a'geological tout through a large
portion of the State, Ida statements become a
matter of deep interest to our citizens and were
received bv the Convention with great satisfaction
and applause. -
He was replied to bv Senator Borland, whose
speech we would willingly place in juxtaposition
.with ibis of Mr. Fletcher. While the latter
created a feeling of enthusiasm for the cause of in
ternal improvement the Senator'* course had the
i effect of a wet blanket thrown ovser the excited
assembly—he was opposed to a railroad—the very
object of the meeting—thought Arkansas was
i doing very well and that the very fact of her hav
ing to import bacon, flour, potatoes, onions and
mince pies, icu* the high'nt nUnicr of her primarily.
These with other startling truths, were put forth by
the Senator, an I we wish we could give them all
’ to our readers.

U*We clip the following from tbe S-mlhrm
I'r'tt. The consummation of such a project
would not take the United States by surprise. On
the contrary it has long been our fear that such
would at last be the result, and should the sale
be effected war must ensue. This government
can never permit England to take quiet and peace
, able possession of a point so necessary to the pro
1 tection of the commerce of the southern and w es
tern Slates:
! “ It will be perceived by advices from Spain,
that there is a project to tiU Cubnonl i’arrto II,co
to K tghnU, tor ont kumlrid mud fifty milUun* of
I doftara. This will not coincide at all with the
( or inclinations of this country. The posse
sion of such aa island contiguous to our southern
Suits, by any power carrying out abolition princi
ples, will ineviubly involve us ere long in war.
We can never see England get a fooling so neat lo
> ns—in a position lo strike such deadly blows at
our commerce in case of war, or even during peace,
without opposition. We do not tee how such a
sale can be permitted; for England would literally
stand, not merely between us and Cuba, and in
some measure between us and our own California.]
Spanish Proposition to Release Prisoners^*'

Washim.tos, Friday, Nov. 7,
Tbe Spanish government is said to have sent
despatches here, proposing to liberate the Ameri
can prisoners taken in the Cuban expedition, on
condition that the Spanish flag be raised with a
salute. This being complied with, the injury to
>, Spaniards and the insult to the Spanish Consul in
New Orleans will be forgotten.
Letters have been received here from Havana
which charge Owen, the Consul, with hav.ng made
the charges lo the Captain General against .Mr*
Thrasher, which caused the arrest of the latter.—
Ilia motive is alledged to be, that Mr. Thri'sher
had propagated the reports that bad led to his re
call, he, Thrasher, being an applicant fat the out

The reception of Kt>sau>h at Southampton prom

ter the festivities Kossuth was to procesM to Lon

extend to a fortnight; and he would then re em

Information relative to a contemplated invasion

I States, having been officially received at Wash

the subject, which appears in the papers of this
morning. To-day’s journals also contain infelb

the steamship Georgia, that Mr. Thrasher, late
editor of the Faro In'lvstrml, had keen arrested
by the Spanish authorities for some cause un
1 known, lus papers seized, and his friends refused
‘ admission to his place of confinement. As Mr.
i Thrasher exerted himself so nobly in behalf ol
; the Americans who were taken prisoners for their
connection with Lopez in the invasion of Cuba,

A few days since, there was a desperate fight
in one of our streets, close by the office of the
chief of police; but not until it was over, did a
i " star” make hisappearance. And what rendered
l the matter worse, it was the man in the first in
1 stance maltreated whom the Dogberries thought
fit to lug off to the Tombs. This incident puts
me in mind of a scene l witnessed in a Parisian
j theatre some years since, when the police of that
; capital were1 deservedly odious. A gentleman in
[Qhe boxes was taken evidently sick, and vomited
on the hat of another, who had just entered the
parquelte. An agent of police wa* close at hand,
and with a guard, arrested the lailrr. His protesta
* lions of innocence were all in v sin; nor would he
j have been liberated from the guard house, unless
some persons who had witnessed the whole affair,
had thought fit to interfere. This, as you will
say, was characteristic of a monarchal form of
government under the old regime, but not exactly
the thing to find its likeness in the commercial
metropolis of a great republic.
There was a perfect jam at the ratification meet
ing m old Tammany, last night. Altogether it was
one of the most satisfactory ar.d soul-inspiring
galhermgs that it has ever been my good fortfine
to attend. Thq fact of the master is, the leaders
of the party now see clearly tliat it is no use at
ail to take a non-committal p wition on the two
great leading questions before the country. Reso
lutions wire accordingly passed ful’y endorsing
the views of the land reformers; then came others
in favor of the abandonment by the American gov
ernment of the principle of non intervention in
the affaire of other governments of this hemis
phere. 1 was rejoiced tome this. .As long as the
governments of Europe continue to interfere, not
only with each ether, but also with the govern
ments of this hemisphere, whenever by so doing,
they cm strike a blow at republican institutions—
so long, I say, as they continue to do this, it is our
sitive duty to use thestrt»ng!h that we p-tssevs,
PT”
..toll hensh everywhere the institutions that gave
us that strength. That principle of non-interven
tion may have been good when ‘A’ashing ton wrote
his “ farewell address.” It ms good. We were
then weak, and the European powers were then
only striving for ascendency; so that apart from
those sympathies resulting from counxiu origin,
the American people eared no more which whip
ped, than the western woman when she witnessed
tbc fight between her husband and the bear.
Col. Forney, of the Pennsylvanian, aud W.
M. C'orney, of Ohio, were the principal speakers.

A very important question under ti e criminal
laws of this Stale has been recently decided at the
general term of the supreme court of this district.
Henry Carnet was convicted of murder, end sen
tenced to Nr executed in May last, but by a re
prieve from t lie Governor the execution was de
ferred until September. The day before that ap
pointed for the execution, the convict's counsel
i procured a writ of error and a stay of proceedings
from Judge Harris, of Albany, The district allot
! ney here, and Judge Edmonds, who pronounced
! the sentence, thought that Judge Harris bad ex
ceeded his powers, but the sheriff felt bound by
j the stay of proceedings, and suspended execution.
It was contended that the power of staving exe
cutions in capital rases was vi ^ed solely in the
Governor, but the supreme court, after full artu
raent, have held that Judges having the right to
grant writs of error, most necessarily p -o s th«T
! power to stav proceedings, otherwise writs of error
j Would be in such eases entirely useless.
The arragements which w. re in course of pre
paration for the reception of Kossuth have been
partially suspended, in consequence of a rumor

to spend some time in England before be ro-etn
barks for this country. When he does arrive, he
i wiil be welcomed with universal acclamation.

Enivoas:—It is with much pride and
j gratification that we v>w the recent movements
j in our young and gallant State, upon the subject
! of Internal Improvements, that this sentiment is
not confined to any particular interest or section,
(which always retards the consummation of any
great enterprise,) but that it is universal, that it
pervades every section of the State.
The first, great and most important object of any
people. State or nation is self preservation;—to
adopt such measures as are calculated to advance
their own individual interests, so that the measures
thus adopted do not infringe or interfere with any
of the vested rights of their neighbors.
Arkansas occupies a tub— Ming position among
| the States of this confederacy, not only in regard
to her geographical locality, but on aceountnfher
great agricultural resources, her mineral wealth,
and multitudmoua water courses, ready to bear
! up.in their swetling bosoms her rich productions
to the markets of the world.
! These resources, in consequence of the great
want of an enlightened spirit of enteipri.se, here
tofore, upon the subject of internal navigation and
road improvements, have remained, m a great
measure, unobserved,—the wealth and general
prosperity of the Slate thereby retarded, and her
population circumscribed. But notwithstanding
i all the disadvantages resulting from mat legislation
and supmenesss upon the part of the great mass,
the tide of emigration to the Stale for the last two
i years, and the continued and increased inline this
fall, tell in language clear and impressive, that as
i the magnetic needle always points to the pole, >0
i will true enterprise find its way to the (the hidden)
resources of wealth. Taking the preseni influx of
population, with our defective roads and water
facilities for data, and what would be the results
in a few years, were the funds set apart for inter
nal improvements, together with the amount that
a liberal spirtlof State pndc would at once afford,)
effectively and promptly used to advance these
great ends? Who cannot see, at once thai Arkan
sas would, like an apparition from the tombs, at
once arise in the majesty of her natural power,
and take a high and commanding position among
j Stales and nations ? Her forests and groves would
fail before the axe of the husbandman—her valleys
i ami table lands would in a few years present a
population ami improvements in agriculture reflect
ing credit to the Mate; her mountains would soon
be excavated, from w hose bosoms would pour forth
iron, lead, silver and gold: at the base of each hill
would.be erevil'd a smelting furnace or a forge,
giving employment to a population as great as that
of the whote State at present, and instead of the
sharp crack of the hunter s rifle, the thunder
tones of the poodrous forge hammer would animate
‘ the hearts of an industrious and intelligent and
virtuous population. HER ,v£.

by we in the Representative Hall, on titedth rust.,
which are a! your disposal.
Respectfully, your*, L. FLETCHER.
L/tttr Hue’., Mins. Sri, 1851.
! The following is a ropy of (hr speech refem-d
i lo in the preceding correspondence .
| Mr. Premdmlond G-nthman :
in the few remarks that I purpose to make, 1
' wish it to lie understood. though I am in* a w »i
| dent of your Slate, bikI appear a* a stranger before
! von ; yet I do not «peak ** a foreigner, or aa an
j alien, for all the pecuniary interests that Connert
me with this earth, are within the limita of Arkau
! sas.
Though accustomed for many years to speak in
p iblir assemblies, it will be readily apparent to
you all, that, in speaking 6n the subject of Inter
! nal Improvements, ami especially upon railroads,
j that 1 am ‘‘off the track.-'
The cause in which yon are encaged is one • !
j deep am! vital interest to the State, and must
• sooner or latter develcpe its abundant resource*.
Arkansas ha* been tar-famed for its rich mint's
; in days of yore, and a work published in Glasgow,
i Scotland, in 1819, states, as a matter -of veritable
| history, that 40 years be tore, silver mines had been
found and worked on the Washita, so rich that
1 three pounds of the ore yielded one pound of pure
silver.
Knowing fhntyonr legislature had, as yet, taken
no efficient steps towards having a geological survey
of the State, three individual*, resulerds of ,Vw
Orleans, resolved to cap! re Arkansas, and learn
s. methmg relative to its mineral wealth.
We entered aipoa t he work m earnest, and have
succeeded in accomplishing * port of ouTdesign,
and our tour hasl>een one full of incident and in
terest. We have traveled over you' biountcnns,
and through your valleys, witnessing the inosl
1 magnificent scenery that ever excited a poet's
fancy, or called into exercise a painter's art.
The broad bottom lands upon your numerous
streams refute the senders, often heard at a dis
tance, that '* Arkansas, as to soil, is the poorest
State in the Ciiion.” Majestic forest trees of wal
| nut, sycamore, and oak, many of which are foui
| feet in diameter, give evidence indisputable of the
1 depth and richness of the soil.
Chrvstal springs arc bubbling from the adjacent
: declivities, and an around promises health, plenty,
and happiness, to ti e industrious laborer.
But, in addition to these beauties of nature,
and bounties of Providence, yoiutjtate almonds iti
mineral wealth. In our geological and rameralo
gical researches, we have obtained the evidence
which proves to a demonstration, that there is a
I great mineral belt passing through the State the
I great body of which Ins south of the Arkansas
! river, extending in width firm Magnet Cove It
: Port Smith. One of our company is a practical g>
. ologiat, mineralogist, and chemist, and one of tie
best asaavers in the wqrld. We are prepared,
‘therefore, as far as we have explored the jitate, u
give a correct acrount of, its mineral character, and
| of the variety and richness of its ore. Permit me,
] then, to say, sir, that the God of nature has made
Arkansas a depository of vast and varied mineral
, wealth. Here yAu have Grumh of the moat beauti
ful character, and in the greatest abundance.
You haveroofmg Shtr that is inexhaustible, and
' equal, if n6t superior, to anv imported from Wales.
You have any amount of Amygiutloul, which
| when first excavated may easily be cut into any
[shape you please; but, when exposed to the an
and sun, soon hydrates and becomes as hard and
as durable as marble.
Here are mountains of Dolomite of the purest
kind, and in no wise inferior to the Turkish oil
stone, that is sold throughout our country in in
j rough state, for one dollar per pound; while yours,
j tying untouched by the hand of man, is in suffi
cient quanty to supply the world to the end oi
time.
You have Gnndotane Grit in the greatest abun
j dance, which cannot be surpassed by any that ha;
i hitherto been discovered in ling ot any other conn
! try.
Add to these the Gifpeum, the Emory, the .W in
ganroe, the S'Ktpatone and the Mi-rule, and .Ihenwr
have hardly begun the enumeration of the resour
I ees of your mineral wealth.
You have Iron ore in immense bodies, and o
the finest quality—you have inexhaustible bedso
liitummouo andanthracite Cool. Yt a, sir, as inrre-di
j ble as it luny appear, you have in this Stale anthranu
rani, not tufenor lo any in the State of Penaayiva
ilia. Hut, in this great mineral belt already allu
I (led to, you have innumerable veins of what n
termed argrutifrmue trail art, bat when tested, i
prove* to be more than argentiferous, it is also au
riferous; yes, and more than that, for when it win
assayed, the mineral yielded not only ninety An
per cent., inetal; but it contained Lead, Znc, Cut>
| per. Hi leer, ant Gold; and the gold, at the rate i
yielded in that analysis, will amount to ai lcaai
thirteen hundred dollar* per Ion of Ihe ore.
And to this, Mr. Fresul-nt, I wi l add yet oni
other item, which is perhaps, worthy of some con
sideratian.
We discovered in one o( these veins of mineral
| that threw) your State, what 1 believe hsif mi
! been discovered before on any part of this conti
nent, and that is lut-ns taiult. the value of whief
per ounce is, double Unit of Gold. It has been ax
fe.’ed by (lien professing to be geologists, thal
there ;• no primitive formation in your State, con
sequent!) gold did not, and could not, exist here;
! but, in our investigation*, we have collected the
most indubitable evidence, troru different localities,
that this ia not only primitive lonuation, but that
auriferous orea exist in the bowel* of Arkansas.
It ha* been often, and 1 think truelr said thai
i where nat, re has done the moat fc<t man, th**r«
; man doe* the least for himself, amt Una remark
| may be justly ape mi Is this Stitt*. What awn
could have been done for it? Or, rather, what
more could have been desired?
Below and around you are imuaniae tracts of at
! luv.at and tertiary soil, winch w destitute of min
eral deposits, but is fertile beyond comparison,
ami capable of sustaining a dense and wealth)
population. And here on its very borders you hav«
.the mineral resources that wilt be necessary u
supply the demand of this fast lacreasiug multi
tude in ait aider tunc.
Mat you must have unobstructed ootletaand in
lets a» the great arteries of trade, or you w.fi con
tinue to remain as heretofore, abut out from tl*
castef the world,
Iri traveling through your State, we frequent!)
meet with p rsonswho have emigrated from Nortt

We bear much said of the Empire State of Un
