KF The members of the Des Arc Baptist
Church will hold a meeting at the Preabyte
rian Church, on the first Sabbath in Septem
ber, (the 4th day,) for the purpose of attend
ing to some matters of business. A full
and prompt attendance is requested.
gy Elder H. T. Weatherly will preach
on that day, at eleven o’clock, a. m.
fTwo Days’ Meeting.—There will be
a two days’ meeting held at Watkins Chapel,
in Des Arc, on Saturday and Sunday, the 17th
and 18th days of September. Rev. John F.
Carr, preacher in charge, will be assisted by
Rev. D. L. G. McKenzie, of Little Rock,
Rev. A. Hunter, and others, who may be in

Igy Our old friend, and liberal patron of
our columns, J. H. Quisenberry, is in receipt
of a portion of his large stock of Fall and
Winter Goods, which he is opening at his new
store-room, on Buena Vista street.
Fatal Accident—We learn that a daugh
ter of James Cavendish, who resides in Centre
township, some fourteen miles south-west of
lies Arc. was killed on Monday last, by a tree
falling on her. It seems that Mrs. Cavendish
and her daughter W'ere engaged in gathering
leans in the field, when the tree fell upon the
liitle girl, causing instant death. Sometime
■elapsed b»fore aid could be procured to remove
■he tree from off the body. The deceased was
■about thirteen years of age.
fir Dr. W. A. Thompson returned to Des
■Arr on the Tennessee Belle, on Monday, and
Alas resumed the practice of his profession.
Jjiy reference to our marriage notices, it will
; perceived that the Doctor’s visit to his na
BBve State was not without a handsome reward.
M !ST It appears that an attempt is making
'Mo convey the idea that the printing materials
Hn the “ Citizen” Office were bought second
funded, and were not new at the commence
iijnent of our enterprise, With the exception
e|*f a small portion of the job-type, the editor
Snf the Citizen purchased the materials new
f.orn the Saint Louis Type Foundry; and the
IJpjpe and other furniture are now better than
•hose in two-thirds of similar newspaper es
tablishments, where such materials have been
fin use only three years. The rule of our
jtrinting-house is the Franklinian motto—“ A
iplace for everything, and everything in its
BBlace.” The arrangements in our office will
ifgBompare favorably with those of any estab
eient in the State of Arkansas. We invite
jjjBny person or party, who wishes to purchase
||Blip property, to call and examine for them
Selves; and we would caution them not to rely
jflipon outside statements in reference to the
alue of the printing materials and other ap
urtenances of the Citizen establishment.
tsar We offer to sell the property for two
thousand and two hundred dollars, ($2,200)—
|lwelve hundred dollars ($1200) in cash at the
-'iffhme of sale, and the balance of one thousand
Idollars ($1000) to be paid in twelve months,
■with ten per cent, interest, and with a lien
%pon the materials until the last payment is
^Hiadc.
I The Agricultural Society’s Fair.—On
Hfthe first page of this week’s Citizen will be
atound a list of the premiums which are to be
Iirded and distributed by the Prairie County
ricultural Society, at their annual Fair, in
ober next. A catalogue of the names of
se persons who have been appointed judges
he various articles which may be exhibited,
been prepared and furnished for publica
), which addition will be appended to the
gramme, In our next issue.
iir-Line Road from Des Arc to Browns
le.— A petition is in circulation for the
iblishment of a straight road from our town
Brownsville. This is an improvement
ch has long b<*en needed, and we are grati
to learn that the matter has been taken
land by gentlemen who are well known for
r energy and determination. The county
rt, we think, will promptly order the neces
r preliminary survey; and before the close
nother year, we trust the new road will be
n for travel.
Iammoth Apples.—Mr. John Cochran,
premium fruit-grower of Prairie county,
o resides twenty miles west of Des Arc,
presented us with four large specimens of
des from his orchard. One of them meas
s fourteen inches in circumference, and
ighs eighteen ounces. The weight of the four
ounts to three pounds and fourteen ounces,
ey are hard to beat, and no mistake. Mr.
chran has furnished us with samples of
lilar magnitude for two or three years past;
1 the pr«#ent one3 area step in advance of his
iviou3 productions.
ETa correspondent of the “ Brownsville
ho,” writing from Des Arc, over the signa
'* °f “ Observer,” pretends to give a report
the proceedings of the Mayor’s Court in
examination of two negroes, who were
raigned on a charge of riotous conduct. The
distorts the facts, and makes a lame
^ impotent attempt to cast odium upon one
whom he has doubtlessly never been harmed
i in »ny wise injured. This fellow “ Ob
•**vkr” has sought and found the appropriate
•(dium through which to promulgate and
it £rCUUt* a 9pit«fut slander upon the editor of
journal. Those who are acquainted with
, Por course of life know full well how to ap
^^PfRciate all such pitiful efforts to injure us,
W^a* estimate to place upon the foul
:;«pure* whence it emanates. Go on, “ True

A Puzzle.—There is in this town a won
pertui prujmuL, WUUSB gcuciduuu ill iuia nuuu
was before Adam. He was wtth Christ before
he was crucified. He knew not his father,
nor did he ever suck the breast of his.mother.
His coat is neither knit, spun, nor woven—
neither of hair, silk, linen, nor woolen ; yet
it has a very fine gloss and color. He walks
boldly in the face of his enemies, and is
abused only by wicked men. He takes no
money, if offered him; he sleeps on no bed,
but stands or crouches entirely. He eats no
flesh, and takes no strong drink, but water
entirely. Poor women have reason to rejoice
that such a prophet has come to sit before
their foolish husbands. Zigzag.

The Eagle’s Flight.—The steamer
Spread Eagle, Capt. Chouteau, lately ar
rived at Saint Louis, from the upper wa
ters of the Missouri river. She ascended
eight hundred and fifty miles above the
mouth of the Yellowstone, which is about
five hundred and fifty miles farther than
any steamboat had ever penetrated be
fore. She reached a distance of two thou
sand and five hundred miles above Saint
Louis. The Spread Eagle left Fort Ben
ton on the 18th of July, and passed Fort
Union on the 26th of the same month.
This trip of Capt. Chouteau consumed
over two months of time, and it is, on ac
count of its great length, one of the most
remarkable in the annals of river naviga
tion.
The Supreme Court of Iudianna
has rendered a decision which has an im
portant bearing upon the interests of the
newspaper press. A controversy existed
relative to a charge for advertising, be
tween the Commissioners of Hamilton
county and the Patriot newspaper. It
was held by the Judge that “the published
terms of newspapers constitute a contract.
If work is given to newspaper publishers,
without a special contract contravening
the published terms, the publishers can
charge and receive according to the terms
so published. It is not necessary to prove
what the work cost or was worth; the pub
lishers have a right to fix the value of
the columns, and if so fixed, no other
question need be asked, but the price thus
charged can be procured.”
-After man has preserved his in
nocence, and performed all duties incum
bent upon him, his time spent in his own
way is what makes his life differ from a
slave.
-He that cannot forgive others
breaks the bridge over which he himself
must pass.
-The reason why some people put
on airs, is because they have nothing else
to put on.
—The Protestant Churchman says: We
have been favored with extracts from the
secular press in Illinois on the subject of an
extraordinary case of discipline. Rev. Dr.
Adams, of Chicago, has been suspended from
exercising the functions of deacon, for officia
ting in the pulpit of a Presbyterian minister.
The Next Census—Timely Suggestion.
In the ensuing year the eighth census of
the United Slates will have to be taken.
No one not practically acquainted with the
difficulties of this office can begin to esti
mate the immense amount of labor which
devolves on those who attempt it. These
difficulties are manifold, growing in some
cases out of misconception of the objects,
and often out of the ignorance and per
verseness of the people to whom the dep
uty Marshal is compelled to seek for in
formation. Sometimes the officer is both
ered no little by reason of the reluctance
of the heads of. families to give in detail
the names and apes of the members; and
not unfrquently the law has to be threat
ened against them before this branch of
information can be fully obtained. Not
unfrequenlly it happens when the officer
calls at the house in the discharge of his
duty he finds the gentleman absent, and
the wife is unable to tell the acres of land,
the number and age of negroes, the num
ber and value of horses and mules, the val
ue of farming implements, the quantity
and value of the products of the farm, and
many other particulars essential to the
performance of the work before him.
Now, what we suggest is that each far
mer this fall, as he gathers crops, shall
keep something like an accurate account
of the value and quantity of the same; and
if he will take the trouble to make out a
statement of the names and ages of the
family; the number of acres of land—
cleared and timbered; the number and ages
of bis servants; the number and value of
his horses and mules; the number of bales
e i l r 1 I 1 _ _ f_l__
ui uuuuii, uniicioui tui ii< uuaiicio ui
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc., and the
value of each, and leave it in some place
where any member of the family who may
be at home when the deputy Marshal shall
call can readily get hold of it, it will save
lime to all concerned, and greatly assist
to make the census returns perfect, com
plete and satisfactory.
We throw out these suggestions for the
reason that having once performed the ar
duous duty of-a census taker, and feeling
keenly the disadvantages under which an
inexperiened person labors in such a voca
tion, and how very greatly his duties might
be lightened and its unpleasantness miti
gated by a little attention on the part of
persons who are equally interested with
the United Stales Marshal in having the
work well and accurately performed, we
think we are entitled to speak on the sub
ject. We do not expect again to be en
gaged in such a work, but we betipeak the
kindness and co-operation of the people to
ind with those who shall have to perform
that duty.—[Nashville News.

THE OLD-LINE DEMOCRAT:
TO BE PUBLISH ED WEEKLY, AT LITTLE
BOCK, ARKANSAS.
Terms—One Copy One Year. $2 00each,
(Payable an Receipt oj the first No.)
HPHE Democracy of Fhillips county bb
sembled In mass meeting, at Helens, on
Monday, Ma-y 23, 1859, and adopted the fol
lowing resolution :
“ Inasmuch as 'he Old-Line Democracy of
Arkansas hare no organ at our State cap
ital,—the so-called “True Democrat” being
wholly subservient to the wishes of certain
politicians and regardless of the welfare of the
party at large—therefore th« Chairman of
this meeting i« hereby requested to appoint a
committee of three Democrats of this county,
whose duty it shall be to correspond With
Democrats throughout the State, asking their
co-operation in the establishment, at Little
Rock, of an organ of the Democratic masses,
pledged to maintain State-Rjghts principles,
to uphold the convention system in its purity,
to oppose all fusions and coalitions, to advo
cate the interests of ths whole party, and to re
main forever free fiom the control of any as
pirant, clique, or fartion.”
The foregoing statements and conclusions
are undeniably correct. The rank and file of
our party—the “honest, hard-fisted yeoman
ry,” who do onr voting ard win our victories,
without other hope of reward than the coun
try’s good and the approval of their own con
sciences—have no mou'hpeacc at Little Rock.
The so-called ‘ True Democrat’ makes blind
obedience to a clique of office-holders and of
fice-seekers the test of orthodoxy, and de
nounces as “ traitors” and “ disorganizes”
all who would not ki ts the feet of those lordly
aristocrats. Yet, while thus arrogantly ex
communicating men who never flinched in the
advocacy of our principles, who never hesi
tated to sustain our usages, and whose only
sin is Ihat they scorn to acknowledge a master,
that paper itselt is edited by an ex-Whig, •*
Know-Nothing, latter-day convert—is the
apologist of a coalition with our political en
mics—and the defender of the fraudulent ad
mission of Know-Nothing and Disorganizers
into Democratic conventions I
It is not to be expected that Democrat! will
acquiesce in such ab i.es and submit to such
intolerable presumption. They” cannot do so
without abandoning their ancient landmarks.
sacrificing all their party dignity, and forfeit
ing all their individual self-respect. Hence
the action of the Phil'ps Democracy in the
premises. Hence, also, this appeal to every
good Democrat in the State, to aid in carrying
out their suggestion.
The intention is to issue the first number of
The Old Line Democrat in August next. Each
friend of the enterprise is therefore requested
to obtain, immediately, as many subscribers
as possible, on the terms set forth at the be
ginning of this prospectus, and forward the list
without delay, to The Old Line Democrat,
care of James Blackburn, Helena, Arkansas.
“ A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto
gether” will insure success 1
