William York, Esq., was employed by Mr.
Reeves to pursue the thief and negro. Mr.
York pursued them to Napoleon, where he

on the steamer Baltic for New Orleans, and
Gilb registered his name as Peter Roan. Ar
riving at New Orleans, Mr. York found the

York made affidavit that the negro. Nelson,
was the property of Mr. Reeves, and that li#
had been stolen by Gilb. Gilb was commit
ted to prison to await a requisition from the
Governor of Arkansas, and Mr. York re
turned with the negro, arriving here yester
day morning on the steamer Sam Hale. Mr.
York is entitled to much credit for his perse
verance in ferreting out the thief and secur
ing the negro.
Land Office, Little Rock, Ark., ?
May 9th, 1860. $
Editor True Democrat:
It will be observed from the notice in to
day’s paper, that further indulgence has been
granted to purchasers ofTana.'uu'der the gra
duation act of 4th August, 1854, “ for settle
ment and cultivation.” The matter is now
left with this office to decide rvhether the
purchaser has filed proof of bona fide, actual
settlement and cultivation, (subject to appeal
to the General Land Office.)
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office instructs this office to “ be careful to
see that the proof shows, not settlement for so
brief a time as would indicate nothing more
than a mere formal, not substantial compli
ance with the law, but sueh a substantive one
by continued de-facto settlement and cultiva
tion, as to meet the requirements of the law,
and only in such cases in which such proof
shall be filed am I authorized to deliver the
Patents.” In many cases proof has already
teen filed, but in some of those the settlement
is of so brief a period that I will not be au
thorized to deliver the patents. It is hoped
that all purchasers will comply with this
notice at an early time, that their titles may
be secured.

Arkansas State Telegraph Company.
Little Rock, June 22,1860.
J. C. Morrill, Esq. :
Dear Sir : At a meeting called by the Pre
sident of the Arkansas State Telegraph Com
pany, Monday the 18th inst.,—present C. P.
Bertrand, Peter Hanger, John Wassell, John
Pope, J. A. Henry, James B. Johnson, D. F.
Shall and R. S. Dodge, Trustees; W. E. Wood
ruff, sr., the remaining trustee, being absent in
New York—the following resolutions and
business was transacted :
John Pope, Esq., offered the following
preamble and resolution which were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, We have observed in the Mem
phis Appeal of the 7th inst., which article
Mr. Coleman, Mr. Montgomery’s telegraphic
partner, has publicly acknowledged as his own,
intimating that this company has lost confi
dence in its contractors, and that the plan of
the line has been abandoned, and
Whereas, We have noticed in several pa
pers of the State, an advertisement signed H.
A. Montgomery, warning the citizens of the
State in regard to the contractors of this com
pany, and exercising an unwarrantable inter
ference with the affairs of this association, by
advising its stockholders to suspend payment;
therefore,
Resolved, That notwithstanding such
charges, as they are entirely unsupported by
any evidence whatever, this company has not
lost confidence in its contractors, but on the
contrary, the assertion of this fact is wholly
gratuitous, and the company expect and be
lieve that said contractors, Messrs. Snow &
Ketchum, will go on and push said work to a
speedy and satisfactory conclusion.
Mr. Snow having presented the subscription
list of the city of Helena, on motion of John
Wassell, Esq., it was
Resolved, That said subscription list be
received, and said line so subscribed for be
adopted as a part of the line of the Arkansas
State Telegraph Company, under the articles
of association and the contract with Messrs.
Snow & Ketchum, as per the terms of the
subscription—it being understood that Messrs.
Snow & Ketchum proceed with the work at
once.
On motion of James B. Johnson, Esq., it
was
Pporti VPn TVl of if i a f Vl n t'onen r\t fViio k aa rrl
of Trustees that the company’s lines be ex
tended to Des Arc, and that Mr. Snow is here
by authorized to proceed to solicit subscrip
tions there, on the same terms as heretofore.
The above resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
In this connection I desire to state that I
had intended to visit Des Arc this week, but
owing to press of business in other parts of the
line, I shall have to defer it until next month,
when I hope to see the citizens, and arrange
with your public spirited city for a telegraphic
connection, which shall place them in com
munication with the leading places of the State
and the Union.
The poles for the first division of the line,
between Madison and Memphis, are all out.
The wire for the entire line is ordered, and
I. C. Hicks, Esq., of Brownsville, has the
contract for the poles between Devall’s Bluif
and Little Rock, the whole to be delivered by
the 20th of next month.
Trusting the above is of sufficient informa
tion to authorize publication, I am,
Yours truly,
W. D. SNOW,
For Snow & Ketchum.

Literary Notice.— Qne of the most inter
esting and useful publications which comes to
our sanctum is the Scientific American,
a weekly publication, devoted to popular sci
ence, new inventions, and the whole range of
mechanic and manufacturing arts. The Sci
entific American has been published for
fifteen years, by the well known Patent Soli
citors,’Messrs. Munn & Co., 37 Park Row,
New York; and has yearly increased in inter
est and circulation, until it has attained, we
understand, nearly 30,000 subscribers, which
is the best of evidence that the publication is
appreciated by the reading public.
To those of our readers who may not be fa
miliar with the character of the paper, we
will state some of the subjects of which it
treats. Its illustrated descriptions of all the
most important improvements in steam and
agricultural machinery, will commend it to
the Engineer and Farmer, while the new
household inventions and shop tools which
are illustrated by engravings and described in
its columns, with the practical receipts con
tained in every number, renders the work de
sirable to housekeepers, and almost indispen
sable to every mechanic or smith who has a
shop for manufacturing new work, or repair
ingold.
The Scientific American is universally
regarded as the inventor’s advocate and mon
itor; the repository of American inventions,
and the great authority on law, and all busi
ness connected with Patents. The Official
List of Claims, as issued weekly from the
Patent Office, in Washington, are published
regularly in its columns. All the most im
portant Patents issued by the United States
Patent Office are illustrated and described on
its pages, thus forming an unrivalled history
of American inventions.
It is not only the best, but the largest and
cheapest paper devoted to Science, Mechanics,
Manufacturers, and the Useful Arts published
in the World. Hon. Judge Mason, formerly
Commissioner of Patents, is not only engaged
with the publishers in their immense Patent
Agency department but as a writer on Patent
Laws and Practice, his ability is forcibly por
trayed in the columns of this paper.
The Scientific American is published
once a week, (every Saturday,) each number
containing 16 pages of Letterpress,_ and from
10 to 12 original Engravings of New Inven
tions, consisting of the most improved Tools,
Engines, Mills, Agricultural Machines and
Household Utensils, making 52 numbers in a
year, comprising 832 pages, and over 500
Original Engravings, printed on heavy, fine
paper, in a form expressly for binding, and
all for $2 per annum.
A new Volume commences on the 1st of July,
and we hope a large number of Our townsmen
will avail themselves of the present opportu
nity to subscribe. By remitting $2 by mail
to the publishers, Munn &. Co. 37 Park Row,
New-York, they will send you their paper
one year, at the end of which time you will
have a volume which you would not part with
for treble its cost. The publishers express
their willingness to mail a single copy of the
paper to such as may wish to see it without
charge.
Specimens of this work may be seen at the
“ Citizen office.”

something analagous to it; and different
things are “ elephants” to different people.

Who Are the Bankites?
Mr. Johnson in his address says that he
never had anything to do with any of the
banks of this State; that he never bor
rowed a dollar from any of them, and was
never indebted to any of them.
This may be be true of Mr. R. H.
Johnson individually; but it is well known
that his father and other relativesdid have
a great deal to do with said banks. And
that inasmuch as he is now reaping the
benefits of whatever thev made out of said
banks, he ought also to be held responsi
ble for whatever wrongs they committed
in connection therewith.
In 1844, Ben. Johnson, (Dick’s father)
was indebted to the Real Estate Bank to
the amount of $65,000, which he paid off
with depreciated fund, which he bought
for about twenty or twenty-five cents in
the dollar.
R. W. Johnson paid off in like funds a
debt of $72,000.
Lycurgus L. Johnson paid off in like
manner a debt of $75,000.
W. H. Johnson paid off in like man
ner a debt of $10,000.
Jeel Johnson paid off in like manner a
debt of $62,000.
Euclid L. Johnson and Richard W.
Johnson paid off a debt of $17,000.
From these items it will be seen that
the Johnsons have, at one time, been in
debted to the banks to the amount of
$316,000. They must have derived im
mense benefits from the use of such large
sums of money. They borrowed it from
the banks, and besides they paid it back
in depreciated funds.
And that’s the reason why the banks
can’t now meet their liabilities, and this is
the reason why the people of the State
will have to be taxed, as Mr. Johnson
says, to pay their debts for them.
But again: Mr. Johnson says, in his
address, “ I am no ways concerned in
either of the banks, and never in my life
had any transaction with them ; nor am I
in any way interested in having them
wound up," Sfc.
Now we think we can show that Mr.
Johnson is concerned in the Real Estate
Bank, and that he is deeply and directly
interested in having the alfairs of that
bank wound up.
Ren. Johnson, (father of Dick), owned
300 shares of stock of the Real E^ate
Bank, valued at $30,000, which, with five
per cent, interest will amount in 1861 to
$60,000.
On page 141, Gouge & Miller’s Re
port, it appears that said Ben. Johnson
mortgaged the following property to secure
the payment of said stock, viz:
E. hf. 25: 1 S.: 11 W—320 acres.
S.W. fr. qr. 30 ; IS.; 10 YV.; 206 95
100 acres.
Lot No. 2 of N. YV. qr. 31; 1 S., 10
W.—126 72-100 acres.
The above are located in Pulaski county
and are very valuable.
The tax books of this county show that
Mrs. Matilda Johnson, widow of Benja
min Johnson,and the legal representative
of his estate, now pays the taxes on said
lands !
Does not this make Mr. Dick Johnson,
as one of the heirs of his father, interested
in lands mortgaged to redeem stock in the
Real Estate Bank to the amount of S60,
000 ? It looks something like it. And
if the facts wefe fully known, it could
doubtless bo made to appear that these
have made more out of these old banks,
and are at this time more deeply interes
ted in having them wound up, than any
other family or connection of men in the
State.
It is charged by one who is in a posi
tion to know, that “every foot of land
owned by R. H. Johnson is mortgaged tc
the Real Estate Bank,” and “ that the
blood relations of E. N. Conway and
R. H. Johnson have mortages to the Rea
Estate Bank resting upon their landed
interests, incfudmg principal and interests
amounting to over roun hundred thou
sand dolIXrs J
If these facts are not strictly true, le
the True Democrat prove them untrue.—

Livf.s Lost.—The Memphis and St. Louis
packet Ben Lewis exploded her boilers on the
morning of the 25th inst., near Cairo, while
under full headway, and rapidly burned, in
deep water. The explosion was most terrific,
and the scene which ensued beggars descrip
tion. It is impossible to arrive at the actual
number of the lost, but it cannot be less than
forty or fifty. The Ben Lewis was only in her
third season, and was considered one of the
safest boats on the river. She cost $63,000,
and was owned by the Memphis and St. Louis
