Death of A. B. HorF.. Esq—We regret to
I learn of the death of this gentleman. He died
yj at West Point, White county, a few days
| since. He was a noble hearted man, and had
B but a few weeks since permanently located in
Sour town. He has, however, resided here
3 most of the time for tws years past, but he
B recently improved his property and brought
■ his aged mother here to reside. She left here
■ some ten days since, on hearing of his illness.
'I, Alas, “how uncertain is life—how certain is
I death.”
An Opening for a Good Specula
Btion.—While Des Arc is blessed with not
H less than three profitable Steam Saw Mills,
H and two we believe are prepared to grind corn,
gand some of them have attached to their engines
■ shingle machines, lath machines. &.c., yet we
Bare without a Merchant Mill for grinding
■ wheat.
I Any man, or company of men, conversant
||with the management of a flouring mill, can
mm uuc ucji iuuuhuii *>• m'- -’"“•“j “j r j —c
•our town a visit. Wheat is raised, to a con
siderable extent in Prairie and adjacent coun
ties, while from the vast regions above us, in
cluding the White. Black and Little Red river
vallies, it is brought out by the steamboat load.
True, there are several flouring mills in the
above sections, but they are scarce a drop in
the bucket towards supplying the demand for
this necessity of life—while they scarcely
affect the price of wheat at all—as the large
shipments South fully testify.
The position here cannot long remain un
it occupied, There is too ranch money in it to
escape the attention of those who wish to
make a livelihood in one of the most honor
able vocations known to man. “ He who sup
plies his fellow beings with bread, is a bene
factor.”
Dr. J. Bordley, Dentist.—We invite
special attention to the card of this gentle
man, (formerly of Memphis and recently of
Kentucky,) in our columns. He not only
understands the Dentrifical art, as pertaining
to those who have grown to be men and wo
men; but the treatment of children’s teeth
Sias become a very important matter in the
practice of his profession. He brings the
best of evidence to sustain his proficiency in
the management of dentition. All who wish
- |information, or work in his line, should call
Iffon Dr. B. without delay as he will only re
fefnain two weeks longer. His rooms are at

j Man Killed at Aberdeen, Arkansas
| We learn that Washington Peebles killed hi:
• brother, Henry Peebles, at Aberdeen, 01
Monday, 19th instant. A difficulty had ex
listed between them for some time, in refer
; ence tj the division of property. It seem:
j that Henrv demanded that Washington shoulc
! pay him $300, .and upon his refusal or failure
to do so, hs (Henry) procured a double-bar
reled shot-gun, and in a menacing manner
again demanded the sum of money—where
upon Washington seized a gun and shot him
dead. Washington Peebles gave himself uf
to the authorities. He was tried and acquit
ted.
w James Me Bryan, who came to Des
Arc about a week since, from Fort Smith,
died at the residence of R. Hawkins, on Mon

about 35 years, fair complexion, gray hair.—
He was originally from Kentucky.

The card of this new Wholesale house will be

immense, and selected with the greatest care,
and they are prepared to furnish country
merchants every article appertaining to the
dry good line on satisfactory terms. Although
they are yet scarcely opened they are literally
crowded with orders from the interior and the

were instructed to draw the lease, have it
recorded, etc.
The committee to settle with the Secre

Vera Cruz Cannonaded by Miramon—
Miramon Defeated by the Liberals—
Two Mexican War Steamers Captured
by the United States Sloop of War Sar
atoga.
New Orleans, March 19.—The Mex
ican war steamer General Miramon has
arrived below from Vera Cruz. She
sailed from Vera Cruz on the 13th instant,
in charge of Lieut. Miner as a United
States prize.
General Miramon appeared before the
city of Vera Cruz on the 5th instant, and
notified the foreign representatives of his
intention to cannonade the city. He
made an attack on the night of the 7th
instant, and was repulsed by the Liberals,
who are confident of maintaining a suc
cessful resistance.
The Mexican war steamer Marquez
has also arrived below, a United States
prize, in charge of Lieutenant Chapman
of the United States sloop of war Sarato
ga. The Saratoga also captured the
steamer Miramon, which arrived below
I. i _aI__
lU'UCiy UUUIli mvuv ~ '
captured at noon on the 6th instant, off
Anton Lizardo. The action was brief,
and there was only a slight loss. The
steamer Marquez has a portion of the
prisoners taken during the engagement;
the other prisoners are to be sent to the
United States on the sloop of war Preble.
It was reported that Alvarado was in
possession of General Miramon.
The exequator of the American Con
sul at Vera Cruz has been revoked.
Later advices from the interior stale
that the city of Mexico was surrounded
by the Liberals.
Great excitement existed at Vera Cruz
in consequence of the action taken by the
commander of the American squadron.
The French and Spanish residents are
ve ry bitter.
Lieutenant Chapman is the bearer of
dispatches to Washington.
Later from Vera Cruz.
New Orleans, March 20.—The fol
lowing additional particulars of the cap
ture of the war steamers Miramon and
Marque before Vera Cruz, by Command
er Jarvis of the gulf squadron, have been
received. _ v
^ Gen. Miramon commenced the siege of
Vera Cruz on the 5th inst., on the 6th
inst. two war steamers appeared before
the city and refused to show their colors.
Commodore Jarvis, therefore, ordered the
sloop-of-war, Saratoga, with a detachment
of marines from the Savanah and Preble,
in the 3teamers Indianola and Wave, to
proceed to the anchorage and ascertain
the character of the steamers. As the
Saratoga towed by the steamer Indianola
approached the steamers tried to escape
but were too late. Capt. Turner sent a
boat with a flag to demand the nationality
of the steamers, the boat was fired upon
twice, whereupon the Saratoga fired a
broadside into the steamer Miramon, and
the action became general ; both of the
steamers now hoisted the Spanish flag,
and after a spirited engagement Marimon
surrendered with most of his men who
were taken prisoners. The American
loss amounted to three wounded, one sup
posed mortally. The Mexican loss
amounted to about fifteen killed, and from
twenty to thirty wounded.
New Orleans. March 23.—The
schooner Emily Keith has arrived from
Vera Cruz, with advices of the 14th inst.
General Miramon bombarded the city
of Vera Cruz on the 13th inst., doing but
little damage:
1 A detachment of General Miramon’*
troops, while on their way from Alvarado
to Vera Cruz, were attacked and com
pletely routed by a detachment of the
Liberal forces.
General Miramon sent a flag of truce
to General Juarez on the 14th instant
which resulted in a suspension of hostili
ties.
It was reported that General Miramon
had abandoned the siege of Vera Cruz,
also that he had deserted his army and
taken refuge on board the French fleet.
Gen. Miramon's communication with
the interior was entirely cut off.
The latest advices received from the
interior state that the city of’ Mexico had
pronounced against Gen. Miramon, and
that his troops were deserting his cause.
THE CAPTURED STEAMERS.
Washington, March 28. — The ques
tion of the distribution of prizes among
the captors of the two Mexican war
steamers is held in abeyance until the ad
miralty court decides the exact character
of the captured vessels.

I? ADWAY’S Regulating Pill*.—
A *' Dr. lladway II Co. have recently discover
ed a method tor extracting from roots, herbs,
plants and gums, a nutritious extrset of such
wonderful nourishing power — which they
have combined with Radway’s Regulating
Pills—that six of these Pills will supply the
blood with the same amount of nutrition as
one ounce of ordinary bread; so that, while
the system is undergoing a thoioughpli vslcing,
and regulating piocess, it daily becomes
strengthened.
Persons afflicted with Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Heart Diseases, Fullness of Blood
and all Females who are subject to Irrrgularl- j
ties, Hvsteria, &c., are particularly recoin- j
mended to use these Pills. They are pleasant ;
to take—elegantly coated with gum—free I
from tast% and will not gripe, sicken or wcaks !
en the system, or leave the bowels costive, j
Mothers nursing should likewise take one or
4-_ .t ik._ r»:ll.*_i «
They will not only keep your system healthy !
amt regular, but will protect your infant*!
against cramp anil pains in the stomach, and .
insure not only a healthy child, but will in
vest every child, thus suckled, with a sweet
disposition.
RADWAY’S REGULATING PILLS
Regulate each and every organ of the system,
and correct all derangement of the Liver,
Bowels, Stomach, Heart and Kidneys.
THEY CUBE
Costiv'eness, Indigestion.
Heart-Burn, Dyspepsia,
Billiousness, Constipation.
Dropsy, Head-acbe,
Palpitation Congestion,
of the Heart, &c., &.C., &c.
They are entirely vegetable and harmless;j
an infant at the breast can take them with I
safety, and persons who are subject to fits of j
Apoplexy, Epileptic. Heart Diseases, <tc.,|
6hould always keep a box on hand.
Price 25 cents. Ask for Radway’s Regula
tors, or Regulating Pills. [2]
