Lead Ore.—Canada Howell, Esq., residing
nine miles south-west of Des Arc, has left in
our office a rich specimen of lead ore, found
near the surface in ploughing one of his fields,
Competent judges affirm that it will yield 8C
per cent, of lead, including 10 per cent, oi

young man employed at the Mount V ernor
Mills, in attending to the Lalli machine, had
three of his fingers, on his left hand, taken off,
last evening, in attempting to draw a splintei
from th« Lath-saw. His wounds were dressed
by Dr. I. J. Lane.
Mortality Among Hogs.—A dreadful mor
tality exists among the hogs in various por
tions of Praii ie and adjoining counties. Hun
dreds have died within the past few weeks.
The disease seems to be what is termed “ Hog
Cholera.” _ _
fST We are requested to return the thanks
of the Baptists of Des Arc, to (he pastor and
elders of the Presbyterian church, for their
kindness in granting them the use of their
church building, for their regular worship
twice a month.
Prairie Circuit Court.—The Circuit
Court for this county, Hon. J. J Clendenin,
Presiding, was held at Brownsville during the
past week. The Judge discharged his duties
in his usual pleasant and agreeable manner.
We have seen no man upon the bench who
exceeded hiin in giving satisfaction to all who
come before him. His eharge to the Grand
Jury was all that could be desired, embracing a
concise statement of the law, ami the duty
they owed to themselves and their fellow-citi
zens. The following is a list of the members
of the Grand Jury :
James Jackson, D. M. Percifield, Robert
Dodson, Joab Music, Miles Ferguson, Wm.
1!. Hodges, James Emerson, Jas. M. Robert
son, Jeremiah Bronaugh, Daniel Harshaw,
M. B. Brilcs, David W. Munroe, Wm. Mag
hy, Wm. J. McCombs, Josephus Tucker,
Samuel Young.
Trial or Samuel Jones, charged with
the Murder of John W. Smith.—During
the session of our Circuit Court, last week, at
Brownsville, this case was tried. The pris
oner had been incarcerated in prison since
November last. The trial commenced on Fri
day, and the case was given to the jury on
Saturday evening. On Sunday morning the
! jury returned a verdict of “involuntary man
slaughter,” fixing Jones’s terms of imprison
tiV Ullu ) cut ill lll<3 JJtlllVVMVliii I •
The State was ably represented by Attorney
General J. L. Hollowell, and the prisoner
ably and adroitly defended by Messrs. W. T.
Jones and S. W. & W. L. D. Williams. Mr.
Jones, although a young lawyer, handled the
case in a manner worthy of older inen in the
profession ; and all who heard his effort ac
corded him full credit for his talents and legal
research. The other gentlemen are too well
known for their legal ability to require any
special notice at our hands.
We took a full report of the testimony, as
well as a synopsis of the arguments of coun
sel; and we may advert to the trial again.
“Bhownsville Echo.”—This filthy sheet,
in its issue of the 2ath ult.,contains an article
abusive and basely slanderous, not only of the
editor of the Citizen, but which goes still
farther, and speaks in the most derisive and
wanton manner of his relatives.
In order that the public may know who
Benjamin F. Coulter is, (the acknowledged
author ol' these slanders,) we will publish a
small portion of his history. Sometime in the
cold month of December, 18ab, this dark
specimen of humanity was found in distress,
near a burning log, in the vicinity of Des
Arc—diseased, lousy, an outcast—having fled
precipitately from the frowns of “ one ” whom
he had wronged. We provided a shelter for
bis loathsome carcass, procured a physician,
hid his meals conveyed to him; and finally,
having restored him to health, and caused him
to-felease the~“ hold of theTTce from his body,”
all by dint of hard scrubbing with soap and
other essentials, we put clean raiment upon
him, and gave him employment—restoring him
decency, and enabling him once more to lifl
his eyes from the ground. And this is the
base hireling” who succeeds T. T. Smothers
‘n editing the “ Echo.” The proprietors of
that sheet made a woful “ swap.” Mr. Smoth
®rs is a gentleman in comparison with all such
cattle. We know no wrong of which he has
St *'er been guilty, that will equal in turpitude
I ^ J(‘ * damning sins” of this ungrateful wretch.
Toe caricature of us in his sorry apology foi
| a ncwspapgr> is in unison with the asinine pro
I clivity of his prurient taste, and fitly repre
I ‘cats his idea of prominence in the world—
| ow instincts, vulgar habits, and groveling
■issociat'ons. Will the people of Brownsville
tolerate such a mass of corruption in theii
midst ? “ Dog. get thee gone!”
To Baptists in Des Arc and Vicinity.—
All Baptists in Des Arc and adjacent country
, are requested to meet at Watkins Chapel, in
Des Arc, on the second Sabbath in June, for
the purpose of organizing a Church. Rev. II.
T. Weatherly will preach on that day, at
11 o’clock.
Ladies Saloon.—C. T. Oldham, Esq., has
neatly furnished the front room adjoining the
“Cosmopolitan Restaurant,” as a Ladies’ Sa
loon, and is fully prepared to furnish Soda
Water, Ice Cream, Confectioneries, &c. These
hot and sultry days furnish ample reasons why
i the Ladies should be escorted by their husbands
or beaus to this well arranged saloon.

RIVER NEWS, &c.
White River U. S. Mail Line.—Capt.
C. W. Coles, the proprietor of this line, has
recently refitted the steamers Sam. Hale and
Fortune, making them inferior to no boats
that float in point of comfort and fine accom
modations. Capt. Price commands the For
tune and Capt. Coles the Hale. Both are
gentlemen of experience, and highly appre
’ ciated for their politeness and constant atten
tion to the comfort of passengers, and the in
terests of shippers. The U. S. Mail Line from
Napoleon to Jacksonport, has now been in
operation near four years. The punctuality
of these boats has become a “fixed fact,” and
the increased trade and travel throughout the
White river valley, owes more to the perma
nent establishment of this mail line, than to
,any other circumstance in our knowledge.
The officers on these boats, throughout, have
been selected by Capt. C. W. Coles, the con
tractor. who is a irentleman of larce pvneri
ence, and desires the prosperity of the people
throughout the entire route, for thereby the
“ strong cord” of his own success is strength
ened. This line can be relied upon through
“ the summer’s heat and winter’s cold.” A
failure to make ti ips punctually, involves a
' loss to the contractor—therefore, so far as
human exertions can accomplish it, the
White River U. S. Mail Line may be safely
set down as a “permanent and fixed institu
tion,” worthy as it ever has been of the pat
ronage of the public.
3^" The U. S. Mail packet Fortune, Capt.
David JB. Price, passed up Monday night,
bound for Jacksonport. The Fortune will be
down to-morrow morning, bound for Napoleon.
B. Coles, her clerk,furnished us with full files
of late papers.
(ssr'i ’he U. S. Mail packet Sam. Hale, Capt.
C. W. Coles, is due Friday -norning, bound
for Jacksonport. She will be down on Mon
day, bound for Napoleon. Capt. W. Gibbes,
her chrk, furnishes us with files of late
papers.
isr The Memphis, White and Little Red
river packet Return, Capt. Pete Fleming, J.
P. Booker, clerk, passed up Monday morning,
and returned last night. The Return has been
repaired and is in fine trim. Capt. Pete
Fleming on deck and Capt. Jim Booker in the
office, make “a team” that travelers can con
fide in. As usual, we were furnished with the
latest dates by Capt. Booker.
Capt. Baird, of the steamer Evansville,
has purchased the Admiral, for six thousand
dollars. She is at Portland, on the Ohio river,
undergoing repaiis, where Capt. B. is super
intending the work. He expects to have her
ready for the Memphis and White river trade,
in a short time.
w We learn that Capt. Baird has sold the
Evansville, and that she will not return to the
White river trade.
Or The Advertiser states that Capt. Bai
ley intends to lay the Europa up, at Pocahon
tas, during the summer months, for repairs.
Rivers Falling. -The “Memphis Evening
Ledger” of Saturday last says:
The river at this point has receded at least
two feet below the high water mark of this
season, and is still declining at the rate of an
inch and a half a day. The Ohio and its
tributaries, the Upper Mississippi, Missouri
and their tributaries, are all falling, and the
Mississippi below with all its tributaries,
with a few unimportant exceptions, are all
falling. The river is falling at Vicksburg two
inches in twenty-four hours.
--
What are Comsols ?—Every one who
reads the accounts of the European money
markets no doubt desires to know what
“ consols” are. They are three pet cent.
English stocks, which had their origin in an
act of the British Parliament, consolidating
(hence the name) several separate gov
eminent stocks into one general stock,
called in the act " Consolidated Annui
ties,” and commonly quoted, for brevity,
as “ consols.” When the consolidation
took place, the principal of the several
funds thus merged amounted to nine mil
lion, one hundred and thirty-seven thou
sand, eight hundred and twenty-one
pounds sterling; but, by the founding of
additional and subsequent loans and' parts
of loans into this stock, it amounted on the
5thof January, 1836, to three hundred
and fifty-six million, seven hundred and
sixty-eight thousand, two hundred and
fifty-eight pounds sterling. Since that
period only one loan has been raised, that
for compensation to the West India plan
ters, on the emancipation of slaves—
twenty million pounds sterling, and a few
millions have been paid off. The total at
the present time is between three hundred
and seventy and three hundred and sev
enty-five millions. This stock, from its
amount, and the immense number of its
holders, is more sensitive to financial in
fluences than any other, and is, therefore,
the favorite stock for the operations of
speculators and jobbers. Its dividends are
payable semi-annually.
Runaway Match.—An old gentle
man in a neighboring county, the father of
a fair young daughter who wanted to mar
ry a young man against her parent’s will,
brought her to this city a fe w days ago,
and secured for her, as he thought, safe
quarters at one of our hotels, the landlord
of which being charged to allow no one to
communicate with her under any circum
stances. But “ love laughs at locksmiths”
and at landlords too. Yesterday the
damsel managed to get out on some pre-1
text or other, and was met on the street
by her lover, when the two made the best
of their way to a parson, who soon made
of them ‘ one flesh.” The gentleman
took his new bride to another hotel, where
they are at present sojourning. The land
lord of the hotel at which the young lady
had been placed, upon missing her,, went
in search of his charge, but did not find
her until after she had pased from under
his protection to that of one whose claim
to her was paramount to that of all oth
ers.—[Memphis Avalanche, 20th ult.

myself at your head to conduct you to the
combat. VVe are about to second the struggle
of a country now vindicating Independence,
and rescue it from foreign oppression. This
is a sacred cause which has the sympathies of
the whole civilized world. I need not stimu
late your ardor, every step von take will re
mind you of victory. In the Via Sacra of
Ancient Rome inscriptions were chiseled up
on marble reminding the people of exalted
deeds. It is the same to-day, in passing the
Mondivi, Marengo, Lodi, Castiglione, Arcole
and Rivoli. You will be in the midst of those
glorious recollections and be marching in an
other Via Sacra. Preserve that strict discip
line which is the honor of the army here—
forget it not! There are no other enemies
than those whom you fight against in battle.
Remain compact! Abandon not your ranks to
hasten forward. Beware of too great enthu
siasm, which is the only thing I fear. The
new armes de recason are dangerous only at a
distance, they will not prevent the bayonet
from being, what it has hitherto been, the ter
rible weapon of the French Infantry. Sol
diers ! let us all do our duty and put confidence
in God. Our country expects much from you.
From one end of France to the other the fol
fowing words of happy augury reach us:
“ The new army of Italy will be worthy of
her older sister.”

Great Bridge.—The Victoria bridge,
which is now building over the Saint Law

slated, is the greatest work of the kind in

vast length and stiength, there is nothing
to compare with it, in ancient or modern
times. The entire bridge, with its abut
ments, is only about sixty yards short of
two miles. It is five times longer than
the Bnttania bridge, across the Menai
Straits, seven and a half times longer than
Waterloo bridge, and more than ten times
longer than the new Chelsea bridge,
across the Thames. The Victoria bridge
has twenty-four spans, of two hundred and
forty-two feet each, and one great central
span—itself an immense bridge—of three
hundred and thirty feet. The road is car
ried within iron tubes sixty feet above the
level of the river, which runs beneath at a
speed of about ten miles an hour, and in
winter brings down the ice of some two
thousand miles of lakes and upper rivers,
with their numerous tributaries. The
weight of iron in the tubes will be upward
of ten thousand tons, supported on massive
stone piers, each of solid masonry.
