Our distinguished representative,Hon.
E. W. Gantt, passed through this plac 0n
yesterday, en route for Memphis. He brV|g3
us the most gratifying assurances of the su>
cess of our ticket in South Ark
Oakland Grove Wool Carding Ma-<
chink.—Special attention is directed to the
*«jtvertisement of James M. Blakeney, Esq.—
He has his new Carding Machine in full op
eration, and is both ready and willing to ac
commodate customers. There is no better
Country in the world for raising sheep than
Prairie and adjacent counties. It is full time
that our people should engage more exten
sively in raising sheep, and encouraging the
manufacture of woolen as well as cotton fa
brics at home. Mr. Blakeney deserves to be
encouraged in his laudable desire to accommo
date the wool-growers of this section.

w The pigeons are now on their annual
tramp to this region. Immense numbers of
them “have been taken” by our sportsmen,
and the sound of guns heard in every direc
tion indicate that “the war has begun.”
Fine Whisky.—Messrs. Robinson & Branch
have our thanks for a bottle of their “ Super
ior Old Bourbon Whisky.” It is not only ex
| cellent for family and medical purposes, but
tastes well without sugar or water. A friend
of ours who is an acknowledged judge of the
article, says he must secure at least a dozen
bottles, which he intends to reserve for a
camp hunt, or a trip to the Pigeon Roost this
fall.

Artesian Well.—There has been no meet
ing of the Board of Mayor Aldermen, as yet,
to change the location of this Well, We are
satisfied that a large majority of our people
are in favor of placing it on the Public Square.
Will the authorities '“permit” the people to
vote upon it?
2^" The Fort Smith Herald learns from a
passenger on the Overland stage, direct from
Texas, that Rev. Wm. Buly of the M. E.
Church, was hung on the 13th ult. for being
implicated in the late burning in Texas, and
inciting insurrection among the negroes.
-----
gy The Fort Smith Herald, of the 22d
inst., says that William Owen, the horse
thief arrested at that place, is still alive and
is likely to recover.

It is estimated that the value of the buildings
destroyed at Fort Smith on the 22th nit., was
about $113,000, and in addition to which the
following losses were sustained on merchan
dise, furniture, etc : Sutton & Spring, dealers
• in dry goods, groceries, etc., loss $35,000, no
\ insurance; Walton & Bourne, dry goods, $15,
000, insured for $10,000; A. Hamilton Cline,
„drugs, $20,000, no insurance; Bennett & Foss.
' dry goods, etc., $15,000, insured $5,000; Times
printing office, $5,000, no insurance; G. W.
Sisson, $2,000, no insurance; J. B. Gridley
$1,500, insured $1,200; Col. Spring’s law office
$1,500, no insurance. 'Also the post-office
including 4,000 letters and the last California
mail for Memphis. The entire loss by this
! disastrous conflagration is fully $200,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but supposed tc
be the work of an incendiary,
sar Ve loam from the Helena Shield that
some two weeks since, over one hundred emp
ty morphine bottles were found in a smal
shanty, near the new jail in that city. Dili
igdnt search and inquiry had been made as tc
where the bottles came from, but the mystery
had not been solved. Not a little excitcmen
was created, from the fact that poison ha;
been found in possession of slaves in Texa
and other portions of the country.

Corn and Pork—The Batesville Balance
of the 21st ult., says : “The time has come fo
gathering the com crop, and there is conside
rable speculation as to what is likely tobeth
ruling price for the article during the fall an
winter. We have heard of some being sol
for 27J cents, and of some engaged at 50 cent
The former price is lower than it can be ex
pected to rate at. It is believed, by most per
sons who are posted upon such matters, tha
the price will not fall below 40 or 45c, an
probably not exceed 60c.
“There is an abundance of corn in this sec
tion of country to supply the demand for horn
consumption, but there will not be much fc
exportation. It is thought there will be
scarcity of pork, and that article will probe
bly command from 5J to 7 cents tp tt>. No d<
finite idea can yet be formed in regard to tha
however.”

We lake ihe following accoint of the
fire which occurred in New OJeansoni
Friday, the 21st ult., from the Delta of j
Saturday morning following:
Last evening, about o’clock, a fire broke \
out in the fourth story of the wholesale liquor
store of Karsteinilieck &. Co., 101 and 103 |
Tchoupitoulas-street, between fafayette anil
Girod streets. The flames spi eaf with fearful 1
rapidity and destruction, and sh*l a grand and
awful glare over the entire upfer portion of i
the city. In a short time tlu fire rushed !
through these spacious buildings back to
Commerce-street, and now, here a fearful oc
currence, which we dare not dillte upon, look
place.
We were present, standing oi the lower or
western corner of Commerce and Lafayette
streets. A loud explosion waj heard_the
liquor barrels yielded to the devqtring element
a frightful crash followed. An upper
portion, one story, of the balding of the
lower store, 101, of Messrs. Kiusteindeick &
Co., came down by force of the explosion on
the building next it, a three-stor; one, said to
be that of Evans & Co,, flour ant commission j
merchants, corner Lafayette and Tchoupitou
as-streets. 1
By this wall falling it carried ii the corner
itore roof and hurled the outer ir sido wall
'on Lafayette-street) of Evans & Co., to the
ground with electrical velocit}. How we
ihudder to report the scene. Frcbi one hun
Ired and fifty to two hundred pirsons were
lear around, and in this building of Evans &
3o , some firemen, some laborers, some police
nen, some merchants, and others,young and
dd, of our citizens. From twetty-five to
hirty laborers, firemen and other!, were en
raged in removing and rolling barrlls of flour
ind merchandise out of this store as there
vas no fire within it at tha time. Previous
o the fall of the wall, standing oi the side
valk, and in the middle of Lafayette-street,
vere from one hundred and fifty to,two hun- ,
ired persons, and when the crash was heard,
ind the walls gave way, their consternation
yas truly deplorable to behold. Not less than 1
lfty or sixty were buried in the ruin?.
The flames raged in broad and fierce gran- ■
leur from the exploded liquor barrels, and a
icene of ruins, as if by dramatic magic, so
rndden was the whole calamitous change of 1
kings, appeared amid a profound silince of
ke awe-stricken beholders. The heat was
ntense, and when the scattered populace re
;urned to the spot of disaster, the nobUst and
nost praiseworthy examples of bravery on
.he part of firemen and police, citizens,young
tnd old, took place that ever we beheld. Re
tardless of the scorching elements and the
langers of surrounding, tottering walls, the
iremen grandly went to the rescue of the
miferers, whose groans of agony were heard
!i*om beneath the niln of hrii»Lr« nnH roft<ro
Every effort was brought to bear by firemen
mil policemen ami citizens to relieve the
mffereis, and as, one by one, each body was
nought out, the silent operation thereof was
oudly cheered by the lookers on. What a
ight 1 There we beheld friends with their
lands and arms steeped in the blood of the
vound! There we beheld the stiff corpse but
i moment before the agile, active, living body,
dorrible, sad sight!
After giving a list of those taken from
he ruins, the Delta says:
It would be impossible to say how many
>ersons are missing and buried beneath the
nass of ruins, and it would be unkind to the
eelings of many of the reported lost ones’
riends now living in our city or on pleasure
ours, to give the least word ihat would im
dy death was at their doors. However, we
annot refrain from mentioning that Alexan
er Strawbiidge, of the firm of Strawbridgc
i Co., Commercial Alley, was not found up
o our going to press. We are loth to mention
he names of the others we have until we can
peak with positiveuess, either one way or the
ther.
A list of ten others who were taken
rom the ruins is given.
It is supposed there are several other bodies
teneath the ruins, as we learn from anxious
*‘ends and relatives, the missing of husbands,
S0N and fathers. From one anxious mother
w®j'ere beseechingly entreated to find her son,
Join. O’Rourk, aged nineteen years. Poor
w°mk we could give her no aid. We have
a sene 0f incidents connected with this la
mentalw eVent which has cast a gloom over
our cit.yfand sej many hearts and homes in
mournitiRbm we forego their publication till
to-morrow
Theloss v this fire in a pecuniary sense,
and this is he ]east consideration in our
mind, at this Vjtjn~ w£j| he about $150,000,
of which one-tkr(j js insured.
Saturday afte.j00n’s Delta has the fol
lowing :
After writing ,n'"l_-port last night of the
fearful calamity by fir>„n Tchoupitoulas and
Lafayette-streets, we P®*,eecie(i 0nce more to
the sad scene, and rem&y^ there up to an
early hour this mormngjyben our attention
was called to aiiotiier ^ons(v6 fire else
where.

The Bite or a Rattlesnake Cdrei
in Two Hours.—The following accoun
of a remarkably rapid cure for the bite o
a rattlesnake, is from Mr. Jas. S. D. Ta
lem, residing near and well known in oui
city :
A carpenter, while engaged, a few days
ago, in pulling down an old bouse, and in
removing some of the lotten timbers neat
the ground, was bitten by a rattlesnake.
In a few moments his finger was swollen
to four times its natural size, and a red
streak commenced running up his hand
and wrist. A deadly languor came upon
him, and his vision grew dim, clearly in
dicating that the subtle poison rapidly was
approaching the citadel of life, But a
remedy was tried, merely by way of ex
periment, which, to the surprise of all
present, acted like a charm, the compo
nent parts of which were onion, tobacco
and salt, of equal parts, made into a
poultice and applied to the wound,-and at
the same time a cord was bound tightly
around the wrist. In two hours afterwards
he had so far recovered as to be able to
resume his work.
I knew an old negro who cured a boy
that had been bitten by a mad-dog, by the
same application.

$35 MOORE’S $35
Sewing machine
Made expressly for
FAMILY & PLANTATION USE.
MAKING in a superior manner the “Double
Lock Stitch,” the strongest, most elastic
and durable made by any machine. The best
judges pronounce the fttoorc’s Patent to be the
most simple, practicable and durable Machine
now before the public, and the most desirable
for Family use; being reliable and accurate on
all kinds of goods; using from two ordinary
spools without rewinding, and size and kind
of thread from No, 8 to 200, and sewing with
equal facility the thickest and thinnest goods
used in families, together with a variety of
beautiful Embroidery work, and sold at about
half the price asked for machines of less prac
tical value.
The proprietor offers the Moore’s Machine,
with the improvements, at $35 or $40 when
sold at a distance by Agents; and invites all
persons, ladies especially, to examine it thor
oughly, and satisfy themselves of its real
merit.

Moore’s Patent Sewing Machine.—There
has been one in our family for the last month
or more, ft gives complete satisfaction, am]
is liked better the longer it is tried—it is sim
ple and easily worked, and does not seem lia
, ble to get out of order.—[Texas Christian Ad

Moore’s Sewing Machine.—We have oneii
our family, and our better half is very mucl
pleased with it, not that it is really better thai
Grovers & Baker’s, but it is simple and cheap
er than thev are. It makes as henutiPnl am
substantial a stitch as any of them, and will b
used by the masses of the people.—[Memphi

Sir:—I am well pleased with my machine,
think l can say. with all truth, it is as good a:
any of the machines that are now selling fo:
$100. For a family machine I think it tin
very thing.
To whom it may Concern :—I havd thor
oughly examined the machine known a:
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly asserl
i that I consider it the best cheap machine 1
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. 1 believe it to be all that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and for a fam
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
other Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—fH. H. Smith, Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
E. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pino Bluff',
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine 1
have ever seen, which is, I believe, the con
viction of all who have witnessed its operation.
Rev. A. R- Winfied, writing from Camden,
Ark., says, with reference to a number of ma
chines sent to that place : “The machines are
; doing splendidly.”
(From R. S. Jones, firm of Jones, Browui &
Co., Memphis: “I have used Moore’s Sewing
Machine in my family about six months, and
it gives entire satisfaction. It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
■ of family work.
F The above notices are only a few of the
■ many which might be given, but these are
i deemed sufficient to satisfy all reasonable per
: sons of the superior excellence of the Moore’s
[ Patent. Every Machine is fully Warranted,
i The low price of this machine, its adapta
t tion to all kinds of family and plantation work
l should recommend it to the consideration of
■ every family
