DES ARC, ARKANSAS, MAY 19. IS««.
There is no place in the State of Ar-1
kansas that can compete with Des Are for i
beauty of location, or commercial andagri- j
cultural advantages ; and we are sure that;
nowhere in the State can he more plainly j
seen the “onward and upward march” ol i
enterprise and improvement. One year
ago, and wo could boast of but one store—
now we have fourteen business house-,
many of whiek would do credit to our
largest cities. One year ago, and our eyes
were everywhere met with the ruins of
what wero once peaceful homes—now the j
mechanics hammer tells what industry ami
determination can do, and the busy house
wife and merry prattling childreu tell of
homes rebuilt and better times. One
year ago, old men shook their heads in
ominous silence when they brooded over.
the future of Des Arc—now these same
talk cxultingly and hopefully of city rail \
roads and unlimited improvement : and
that which speaks better things still for
Des Are, is her newspapers. No town in
the State, of her size, can boast two news
papers. She can, and papers too, that are |
well supported. She is not behind others
in her educational advantages, for the
merry shout of childhood, the music of
play-time which makes glad the heart as
it fills the air, tell of the prosperity of her
schools; and the deep toned Sabbath bell
calls regularly upon her people to coittc up
A A a!’ rirtrl TT04. nrl tronfofVOa
havo attracted, and are attracting, the at
tention of those seeking homes for them
selves, and opportunities for profitable in
vestment of their capital. Already wc
have one of the best saw mills in the
State; two grist mills are in active opera !
tion, and we will liave—as soon as they;
can be completed—a foundry and planing j
mill. Wo uoticc a disposition on the part j
of some to blind the people concerning the
importance of Des Arc; for, when the:
prominent towns on White river are spo- 1
keu of, Devall’s Blulf, Augusta and Jack-1
sonport are named ; but never a word i<|
said of Des Arc New wc do not wish to j
speak disparagingly of these places, but wc J
do say, that neither of them can compare \
with us in point of importance, advantages ‘
or prospects. We are continually roeciv- j
ing new additions to our population, and
all who visit us express themselves de
lighted with our town and its people. To
those searching for homos, we would say,
if you, want a pleasant home, agreeable so
ciety. or a good newspaper, Des Arc is the
place to get it
As will bo seen from the proceedings
and communications upon the subject, in
our columns, the railroad (meeting at Aus
tin, last Saturday, was a complete success.
This augurs well, not only for the success
of the enterprise, but for the determina
tion of the people of Arkansas to make
themselves a State of which they may
justly be proud- As a State we are infe
rior to none in the Union in point of ma
terial advantages, and there is no reason
why we should sit idly dou a contenting
ourselves with our condition and refusing
to embrace opportunities for improve
ment when they are brought so casi'y
within the scope of our abilities. That
♦ lio T)ca Arc D.irdanelle & Fort Smith
railroad can be built if the people exert
themselves, is not for a moment doubted
That it will be built is certain, how soon
depends entirely upon the promptness oi
the people in coming forward with their
money and their influence.
It is high time for Arkansas by her'pub
lic spirit to engage in enterprise ami im
provement, to assert to the world thabshe is
determined to work for herself—her own
improvement and the development of her
resources. Too long have we by the
sweat of our brows earned bread for otli
ers to eat. ami it now becomes us as a peo
ple to exert ourselves for our own bandit
and in such a wav that we may see the
fruits of our own labor—aye, and enjoy
them. Not only is Des-Arc, bub the whole
Stale benefited by the road contemplated
fromthispoint west by the way ofl>ardxnelie
to Fort Smith. The country which it will
pass, is surpassed by none for richness and
fertility, and being to a great extent inac
cessible- by water, can only be made to
yield its fatness to the world by this medi
um ’ The work of constructing this road
has boeu well begun, a considerable amount
of stock has been subscribed, and it only
remains for us to exert ourselves that wc
may bc'able to say the road is built.
TIIE PROPOSED VOTTON TAX—\
SUGGESTION.
Wc commend tho subjoined eommuni
cation to the President of the Mcmphi:
Chamber of Commerce, to public attention
Its author, Wylie B Miller, Esq , is wide
ly knowu as one.of our oldest, most practi
cal, well-informed merchants; and the cx
hibition he makes of the hardships th
proposed tax will wark upon the agrioul
t-*2hKac:ar£ iwim .:1 \'iKTi^ry■■ —r, —rrx *r*r nri
tur.il, and tlirough them the commercial l
interests of the South, should not ho «>ver
lookcd by Congress In the same connec
tion it hon'd nut. he lost sight of that the
onerous tax virtually offers a premium to j
the East Indies. ISygywL f3ruv.il.; ud^olher (
foreign countries to grow Cotton against tin. j
United States; in other wdsjjg that it •' *!1 J
reality a pr toatiotiwi fifvUn-uf our cotton'

home-grower
T<> tlie. Pvceident of the Chamber of Commerce:
Sir : I have been looking for the j
Chamber of Commerce to remonstrate
against the proposed five cent tux on cot-1
ton. If cotton remained at 30 cents the]
tax will be ICS pfer cent, of the gross re
ceipt; if 25 cents, 20 per cent, of the gross :
receipt; if 20 cents, 25 per cent of tbe
Srose receipt; if 15 cents, 38 per cent, of
ic gross fceeipt : if 12 cents, about 40 |
per cent, of the gross receipt. S\ bat it J
will be on the nett receipt will of course ,
depend on the economy of management of j
each individual planter—but the pre
s'Umption is it will not be inure than half]
of the gross receipt,—therefor the Gov-j
eminent would he taxing Southern Indus
try from 88 to 80 per cent , whilst tbe
New England manufacturer, the New
York bondholder and ''landlord, and the
Northern farther, is only to he faxed 5 per
cent, nf his nett receipts or income.
I think the mere figures, as printed,
make ftp alt Che argument and logic nee ;

The following is AmeTs harangue on ]
his civil rights bill for freedom in the log
isluture Small as it is, it is nevertheless j
full of the spleen peculiar to little men.
and is a lair specimen of the mad spirit
which runs through the veins of the radii
cals who misrepresent us in the Capitol of
the Slate:
This is a biU'to maintain freedom. W e
are engaged in the great Work' of relaying
the foundations of state; let justice and 1
humanity he the corner stone, 'i lie bil! is i
no’party measuie; it is tire embodiment
of a principle that. Comes recommended to |
us by the highest authorities. First, it,
has the sanction Of a great and patriotic
congress. Yes, great and patriotic, though
snarled at by little curs and abused by
weak headed conspirato s with impure
hearts. Second, it has the •iudcrscm'cnt:
of President Johnson. He says it ought
lo.be a state but not a national law. Yfc
in ouv legislature find ourselves in an en
viable position. If we are friends to son
gross we have its emphatic sanction If,
we arc friends„to the 1’rvs,dent we have1
his indorsement. If we" are friends of
both there ig no conlliet between us. As !
a thorn to'brick us forward to our duty,
we have before us the action of the. Geor
gia legislature. The Louisville Journal
recommends it for Kentucky, Third, it
is our testimony ol‘ the law in declared
terms. It has a concluding provision .for!
the benefit of paupers, the deaf and dumb.!
the blind, lhe lunatics and the apprentices.
I shall not insult the heart of Tennessee
by ah argument on this point. I beg the
housd n it to permit the noble grant of
civ il rights, or the beneficent character
conferred by this bill, to be disfigured by
the prejudice and littleness-of the pro
posed amendment. The bill is right and
ought to pas$ for two reasons First, it
has an enlightened legislation upon a
vexed question. .Second, it is for the in
terest of tlie South. There is also a spe
cial reason. Let it he made known to all
men, that while Hie mad, drunken, fiend

Tennessee was declaring civil rights and
making provisions for the poor and blind
and lunatics. The riot at Memphis was a
wicked, unprovoked, demoniacal outrage
upon the blacks—a second Fort i’illow.
1 Let us rebuke the spirit mmifested there
by the exalted character of cur legislature
J hero, and lot us never forget that we arc
i prominent actors in an era whose mtst-ion
j is to cast aside unreasoning prejudices ol
of the past and establish governments for

than i have ever before noticed and should
this prove a good crop year, 1 think I hazard
nothing in saying that Prairie county will be

At Austin 1 found a large number of the
citizens of Prairie county assembled, anxious

to the best of their several abilities the'duties
of the respective positions in the gift of the
