NT A correspondent, writing from
Chicago, III., says that city has changed
wonderfully within the past five years.
The bubble which has fascinated so much
capital has exploded; fortunes hare been
swept away in a breath, and schemes of
specula lice suddenly destroyed. Property
has decreased in value as rapidly as it
rose, and stores which five years ago rent
ed for $9,000 wilt not now command $3,
000. It is thought now to hare reached a
healthy basis, and that its further progress
will be upward.

Tnxir axd Now.—Fifty years ago the
successful sovereigns of Europe bore names
nearly like those which tire sovereigns now
reigning bear. There was then an Alex
ander, Emperor ef Russia, there is another (
Alexander now; there was theu a Fred
erick William, King of Prussia, there is 1
auother now; a Francis of Austria, there
is another now; a Pope Pius, there is i
Knottier now; a Victor Emanuel in Savoy, |
there is another now; there was a Fer
dmaed in Naples then, aud until a short
time ago there was another in Naples: '
there was a Napoleon then who was called <
Europe's disturber, there is another now. |
England aud Spain are the great excep- |
lions to this rule of likeness in uauies, but
in both there were then Kings, while in
both there ore now Queens. A Kiug
George (IV of England) was then deemed
the first gentleman in Europe, a King

will be difficult for the Austrians to coo- »

KA11Y V8T0BY OF DES ABC. Ac.
Mr. E otTuR-—The writer of this
sketch proposes to give your readers
a few facts relative to the early histixy of
Dks Aao. Who was its founder 1 And
who Wire it, it's appropriate name ? What
does it take to constitute a person the
founder of a city t Romulus was the
founder of Rome, and Wiitiam Penn, was
the fouoder of the “ Quaker city,” and if
the name of the founder of Dm Are, is to
occupy as prominent a place on the pages
of history, as that of the founders of Rome
and Philadelphia, then it is very important
: that the question of foundersbip, be settled
at once.
But, to facts—during the fall of the
year, A. D. 1845, the writer formed a
partnership with the late James Erwin,
for the purpose of establishing a trading
post, on the lower par* of what was then
called ** McNulty’s Bluff.” We com
menced business in a ' log cabin’—brought
our Dry Goods from Jdttle Rock. Our
first cargo of Groceries was landed in a
" green brier thicket,” in the bottom ad
jacent to the Bluff.
In our cabin, we carried on a very ex
tensivt business; via: our business em
braced all the distinctive features of an
infant city. First, our cabin was the
Ware House, in which we stored the cot
ton crop of that year—which amounted to
the round sum ot eight bales. Our cabin
wma the *' City Hall,” where our guests
were regaled on Venison and Bear meat.
We also kept the “City Exchange,” in
which the natives met frequently to ex
change “ Bar tales" with each other, and
Bear skins for powder, lend &c. Again
to the honor of our cabin, be it said that
it never stuck at its masthead the words
“ Grocery," or '* Coffee House,” and then
under these legitimate signs, followed the
illegitimate business of Drunkard-mak
ing 5 but our motto was “ Touch not, taste
not, handle not." And last, but not least;
our cabin, on the Sabbath day, assumed
the quiet of the city church, opened it’s
doors to all who wished to preach, or hear
the foapel.
How did the name Des Arc originate ?
The writer is, perhaps, the only man liv
ing that can tell. After George C. Wat
kins, Esq., bought the upper part of the
Bluff, aud Scroggs & Erwin, the lower
part; aud it began to be evident that a
town would spring up, it became necessary
to give it a suitable name. Some wished
it called “Runkleville” after the first set
tler, others wished it called • WalkitavHU,'
or "Scroggsviile," &c.; but, about this
time the writerreceived a letter from Capt.
Lott, of Jackson port, on business, back
ed thus: “ Dezabk Bluff, Abe.”—
This circumstance suggested and fixed
the present name. After this all our
goods were shipped to " Des Abc Bluff." j
After the name was settled sometime,!
[ asked Capt. Lott, what suggested the j
name “Dezabb” to him? Ho replied
that he had sent the aforesaid letter, by
x stranger down the river, and told him i
that our cabin was on the first Bluff, be -j
low the mouth of the creek called “ Bayou j
Des Arc,” and to assist his memory, he j
wrote " Dezark Bluff,” ou the back of the j
letter, me t-aptam was, doubtless, not>
iware that his word “ Desark” was a
torruption of two French words, applied
10 the creek, in order to describe tts bow
ihaped course, from its bead to its mouth.
5o much for the name.
But I must close this imperfect sketch.
The firm of Scsoggs & Eswis, done!
justness on “Das Arc Blu rr,” about;
wo years, built a good log store bouse.1
rare house, coUen gin and press, &c. ;j
tnd thus brought the place tuto notice.
On account of bad health the writer sold j
its interest in the lower Blufi, to his friend
tnd partner Jawcs Erwis, for five hun
Ired dollars, and! moved to Missouri.
Sometime after this, George C. Wat*
(ins, had the present town surveyed, and
he streets cleared. Since that tune, 1 ■
earn from my friends and the “ Des Arc ,
riiTtaas,” thatjt has made rapid progress'
n the right direction.
Now, Ma. Editor, 1 hope this imper*
ect outline, of the early history of vour
fourisbing town, will not be uniuteresting j
o your numerous readers. I aiu per
ectiy willing that they shall decide the
question, who is entitled to the honor of
oundiug—what, if it is not now, soon will
te—Des Aac Citt.

THE RECENT BALLOON VOYAGE.
Paor. Wise, who recently made the trp
in company with Messrs. La Mountain,
Gager and Hyde, from St. Louis to the
Slate of New York, a distance of over
thirteen hundred miles in nineteen hours,
in the aerial ship Atlantic, writing from
New York on the 8th inst., says:
j There is a current of air blowing from
east to west continually, and this current
| runs never less limn fifty miles an hour—
1 oftener sixty, seventy, and eighty. Prof.
I Henry thinks it is the return current of
I the (rude winds. As we ascend higher in
the current it runs faster, until we find it
changing a little south of east; the lower
current nearer the earth runs toward the
i north of east. I have found these cur
rents at all limes of the year, from the 1st
! of April to the 12th of December. In my
i correspondence with Charles Green, of
London, a scientific tc.-onaut of much ex
perience, I learn from him that these cur
rents exist likewise in Europe.
From my experience of finding them
thirty-nine times out of forty trials, I con
tend that regular nnd precise voyages can
he made from west to east, and to places
15 to 20 degrees north of east from the
poiut of starting. Why, then, it is asked,
did we not sail to New York and deliver
our express bog ? It is a very rational
inqury, and deserves a rational explana
tion. It could have been done, and should
have been done. Trie reason why it
was not done is, some of our patty did not
provide themselves with extra clothing.
Immediately after leaving St. Louis, I
took the balloon to an altitude at which
___I.:___ T.. .L:_
we sailed until some of my companions
shivered with cold so that the balloon quiv
ered with the tremor. I also told them
that the lower current would take us on
the lakes, as it was coming from the south
west ; but to this it was answered that we
could cross the lakes if we had ballast
enough when we got to them.
We finally agreed upon that plan, and
to make the voyage one of distance and
experiments. My purpose was simply to
make a long voyage, from West to East,
and iu that voyage learn what may be
done systematically with balloons. I am
now convinced that we can go from St.
Louis to Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York city with balloons, with system
and precision. I hold, and am ready to
demonstrate as soon as I can raise six
thousand dollars, that we can sail from any
city toGreat Britain with system and pre
cision. This we can do with our present
knowledge of ballooning. All i ask is a
fair chance, a little more experience, two
or three more trans-continental trips. 1
snouid infer from La Moutitain’s state
ment in the Troy Times of last evening,
and the comments of that journal, and
from the other statements, that no little
jealousy exists among the aeronauts.
The Buondiw Niagara Feats.—M.
Blondio crossed the Niagara river on a
tight rope, without exhibiting the slightest
fears or experiencing the least injury.
Some 12,000 people were gathered to
witness the teat. The acrobat was dressed
in the usual theatrical costume of his pro
fession, with tights, spangles, &.C., and ex
hibited uo emotion as he commenced his
walk on the narrow rope. Of course the
rope declines in tha centre, and at the
lowest point, M. Blond in stopped, and
lowered a Hue to the little steamer Maid ]
of the Mist, that was in the river below, j
The captain of the boat caught the end of
the rope and attached to it a bottle of
wine, which Blond in hauled up, opened,
and then, with a bow to the beholders.!
took a good draught of its contents. It
took M. Blondiu nineteen minutes to
cross, imluding stoppages. He remained j
on the Cauada side about half an hour, j
and then re-crossed in perfect safety, oe- j
r ■ "a — •»— - ■ - ** ...... -■ v « wu >i«v tvvutir
Uip.
M. Biomlin, on the 4ta tost., collected
an audience and again crossed the rope.
Upon this, his second return from the
Canada shore, ae introduced a new fea
ture. When he had proceeded a short
distance he hatted, and pul over his head
a sack which cauie dowu to his ankles.—
Two holes were made for his arms, which
were necessary in using his balaiuing
pole, and thus bagged, sacked and safe
withal. Biondin rctntned to the American
side of the river.

U I Tl A II V .
The pages of the Citizen last week, bore
heartrending news to many, by announcing the
death of Miss Mary Ann Racism—she has
passed from oar earthly gaze.
As the notice of her death was brief we de
sire to add oar feeble words in praise of one.
whose many virtues caused her to be loved by
all who knew her.
Miss Rudisiil was born in Shelby county,
Tenn., where her father resided until about
twelve years since, when he removedhis fami
ly to Ohio, where he died about eight years
ago. Miss Rudisiil soon after returned to
Memphis, where she was raised and educated
by her kind and affectionate brother. In
March she came to DCs Arc to reside and
to enjoy the association of her brothers, but
a brief period elapsed, ere disease laid its
hand upon her, and notwithstanding the able
medical assistance she received and the untir
ing attention of her friends, she was forced to
depart to that country fronr whose bourne no
traveler ever returns.
She at an early h.»y joined the Presbyterian
Church and afterwards united with the Meth
odist' Church in which she continued to live ;
she was amiable in disposition—at all places
commanding a large circle of warm and con
fiding friends, and even in Des Arc, where she
had spent but a few days, ere she was pros
trated on a bed of sickness, such had been her
course that the young ladies of the place
watched around her sick and dying bed with
the sympathy and tenderness of sisters.
But she is gone. Fare thee well much loved
and departed one. May the clods press light
ly on thy bosom, and on the resurrection
morn, may vve meet thee again where sickness
and death shall never come, is the sincere de
sire and prayer of A FRIEA0.
