A>na Insurance Company, Hartford,
Connecticut.—We would call the attention
of our readers, to the advertisement of this
Veteran Company to he found in our columns.
The recent increase of capital to one and a
half million dollars, and the large surplus of
half a million more, all in cash, makes this
the safest Company in the Union, so far as
means go, while its long experience, prompt
and business-like habits, and readiness to
meet all losses without quibble or delay, com
mend it to the confidence of the commmunity.
Insurance is generally too much neglected ;
or when taken, too little attention is bestowed
upon the responsibility of the Company issu
ing the policy, and not (infrequently the result,
in case of fire, is a disastrous loss without any
chance of collecting from the company.
The /Etna rates are as low as the nature of
ttic risks and its long experience will admit,
while it offers the most ample security for ail
claims. It also issues policies covering Cot
ton and Produce upon the rivets on liberal
terms.
We commend this Company confidently to
our patrons; also, its agent here, 15. Blakeney,
Esq., who will promptly attend to the issuing
of policies, payment of losses anti any other
business of the agency. Give It in a call.
Saddle, Bridle and Harness Manufac
tory.—Our townsman, J. S. Anderson,'is not
only an acknowledged gootl mechanic in his
line, but in addition to tiie substantial he dis
plays taste anti ingenuity in the manufacturing
of the various articles to be found in his shop.
His Saddles—both for Ladies and Gentlemen,
are worthy of preference from the fact that
they are not made with an exclusive idea of
“sale alone,” but in order to secure the cotili
.denceof customers, “durability” is made an
important consideration. An examination of
the Bridles, Harness, and all other work, will
satisfy, even a ca«ual observer, that both in
quality and quantity, Mr. Anderson has
shown a commendable determination to supply
the people of Des Arc and adjacent country
with as good and cheap work as can be found
in the State. His shop isat the old stand, on
Lyon street, in the rear ot John Jackson &•
Co.’s., Dry Goods Store.
South worth, Nance & Co., Wholesale
_rs -- . Pt n-T-TUMF- Qrnnv TVTvmphts.
Tenn.—The attention of merchants and deal
ers is especially directed to the advertisement
of this firm. They are all Southern men, and
fully imbued with the importance of building
up a trade which will induce merchants to
purchase from them in preference to “going
farther from home and paying the same
prices.” They are of the opinion that Mem
phis should sell goods to the merchants of
Arkansas, a9 low, and upon as good terms as
either Louisville, St. Louis, New Orleans, or
any Eastern city, carriage, exchange, insu
rance, &c., taken into consideration. These
gentlemen are not disposed to “hide their
light under a bushel,” but boldly affirm their
readiness to confirm their words by their ac
tions. Let them be patronized. Southern
r men should support their own merchants es
pecially when they “make ail things equal”
as to prices and accomodation.
!jy A difficulty occurred ou Saturday
morning last, at G. L. Balsly’s Drugstore, on
/Jucna Vista street, between Reason Reagan,
Es$., and T. Jeff. Jobe, Esq., which termina
ted in Re.agan shooting Jobe. The ball pass
dug through Jobe’s left arm into his shoulder.
Mr. Reagln wc? arrested and the physicians
who attended Mr. Jobe were examined before
W. L. Devvoody, Esq., whereupon Reagan was
bound in a bond of $506’0 for his appearance
to-day. Mr. Jobe, although severely wounded,
is improving:. _ _ _
Sale op Lots at Hickory Plain.—The
sale of lots at this pleasantly located village,
fifteen miles west of Des Arc—on Monday,
was well attended. Judging from the hand
some price paid for lots, the proprietor has
no reason to regret his first attempt to build
up the town. The bidding was spirited, and
each purchaser seemed to be satisfied with his
investment. We have heard enquiries made
as to when another sale would be made at the
earns point,
Jacksonport Herald—Messrs. layman B.
I Oill and F. W. Lynn, passed up the river on
Thursday evening last, on the steamer Admi
ral, bound for Jacksonport. They had with
them type, presses ami all the necessary ma
terial to establish their new paper, bearing
the above name. Ihe paper will be issued in
the course of two weeks. Both gentlemen
are experienced workmen, and richly deserve
the support and kindly regard of those among
whom they have located. We have known
them many years and commend them to the
people of Jackson and adjacent counties.

Bible Revision—to the Public.
Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 20, 1869.
In the month of November, 185S, I lectured
in Fort Smith, Ark., on til’ revision of the
English Bible; and after 1 left the State, as
I as informed and believe, one certain J.
VV. Moore, who did not hear my lectures, and
whom I never saw, commenced vaporing in
the public prints about the revision of the
Bible, and kept it up some six or nine months,
without any notice from me whatever ; I let
him rave, and I see from the lies Arc Citi
zen, of February 8, that he has begun to gas
again about Ur. Cone, A. Campbell, Ur.
Kane and his mother, baptize, immerse, sec
tarian movements, Baptist Bible, the French
revolutions, my views, I am opposed to the
revision movement, bepause, et cetera ; and
supposes that because such stuff as this pas
ses for good logic in Ruralia, that therefore it
will be current in ail other latitudes, and. as
said J. W. Moore, or some political-religious
scribbler for him, admits the great importance
of the revision movement, and that “our com
mon version is all that we need or desire.”
And in order that the people of Arkansas, who
are deeply interested in the revision question.
men h->UO tbn UMrM.nnnt ._ It. '
revision, to read at their leisure, in one
pamphlet, and to judge for themselves—in re
ply to J. W. Moore’s assertion I hat we have
in ‘-'our common version all that we need or
desire,”! submit the following propositions
to him for discussion : First, that sometime rn
the month of March or April next, we meat
in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and dis
cuss, from day to day, in some commodious
house, the following proposition : Is the com
mon English version of the Bible, in every
respect, a plain, faithful and correct copy
of the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the
Greek of the New Testament? He affirm, and
I deny. Second proposition; He inay choose
one moderator, and 1 another, and the parties
choose a third, president to preside over the
lebate. and to keep order. Third proposition :
l'hat tiie parties choose two good stenogra
phers, to take down the arguments on bo<h
sides correctly, and that they be printed in
pamphlet form, twenty or thirty thousand,
rnd distributed throughout Arkansas; and that,
after defraying the expenses ot the discus
sion and the printing .and stitching, that the
proceeds of the sale be appropriated to the le
vision of the English Bible.
I hope, as I have been attacked the second
imp, that there will be no hacking nows
from an acceptance of this plain challenge.
[ like to fight hand to hand, with short swords,
ioft words ami hard arguments.
JACOB CREATE.
[From the True Demecrat.
Mr. Editor.—1 observe in your paper of
J2d instant, certain remarks of Elder Jacob
Creath, relative to the revision of the scrip
tures, ending in a challenge to a public debate.
As preliminary to anything that may be
further said or done on .that point. 1 would
propose to him the following questions :
1st. Does Mr. Creatll profess to under
stand the Hebrew and Greek languages, and
will Ire agree to give translations of such por
tions of the original scriptures as may bo sub
mitted to him, during a public discussion?
2d. Will he agree to defend, as correct
translations, and as superior to the conrtnon
one, the following specimens of the new ver
sion, which he is laboring to promote, viz:
Acts 2:42, Revised version—•• And they per
severeingly continued hi the Apostle’s teach
ing. and in the contribution, andinthe break
ing of the loaf, and in the prayers.”
And aleo, of Acts 21 st:31st, which reads,
“ And as they were seeking lo kill him. word
came up to the cliiliarch of the cohort that
all Jerusalem was in confusion.”
A prompt and unevasive answer is required
either in the affirmative or negative, without
any circumlocution. J. W. MOORE.
