.Etna Insurance Company.—We have,
inadvertently, neglected to call the attention
I of our readers to the advertisement of this old
and reliable Insurance Company, which will
he found in another column. Our fellow
citizen, Bent. Bi.akenky, Esq., is the Agent
at Des Arc; and from the number of business
houses in our town that are decorated with the
word “Etna,” it is evident that Mr. B. is
not disposed to neglect the trust committed to
his charge. While other companies have de
layed payment of losses in the White river
I* valley, the Etna has come up promptly and
paid its losses. Mr. Bi.akknev’s office is at
Geo W. Va den’s Produce and Grocery House.
University of Nashville.—We invite
particular attention to the advertisement of
this well-established and popular institution,
The first term of the academic year com
mences on the 5th of next month. The second
term commences on the 23rd of January, 1860.
A most excellent opportunity is presented to
parents and guardians, for the education and
proper training of those under their charge.
5^-Two of our fellow-townsmen have no- |
bly volunteered to be two of twelve persons
wfio will take stock to the amount of twenty
five hundred dollars each, for the purpose of
building a Female College. Ten more such
men. and Helena will have an institution
erected immediately, worth thirty thousand ]
dollars. Who wants stock ? The twelve will
be incorporated, and select their professors,
and receive the immense sum derived from
tuition, etc. It will be a paying investment, i
and the stockholders can have their (laughters |
educated free.—[Helena Southron. ^
The above is a movement in the right direc- ,
tion. Who will make a proposition of the ,
same character, in Des Arc? We need Male
and Female Colleges, and have the best loca- ^
tinn in the State for such institutions. Our j
men of capital and heavy property-holders |
should move in this important matter, without
delay. ,
“The Bali, of the Season”—We have
received a polite invitation, from the mana
gers, to attend a ball to be given at the Au

2nd. The list of managers embraces the names
of gentlemen who are residents of Augusta,
Jacksonport, Pocahontas, and Powhatan.
From the well-known character of our Au
gusta friends for hospitality, and the splendid
array of female beauty that will grace and
adorn the occasion, we have a right to feel
honored by the invitation. Health permitting
vve will visit Augusta at that time.

learn, from the Helena “ Southron,” that the
negro concealed himself in the barn-loft,
among the fodder, until he was compelled to
have something to eat; a negro woman
saw him returning from one of the negro cab
ins to the barn, and gave information of his
place of concealment. On the 17th inst., the
negro was taken and hung, at or near the spot
where he committed the murder. The people
of the whole neighborhood were present; and

NAVIGATION OF UPPER WHITE
RIVER
Mr. Editor:—I find there are many per
ons, some of whom arc citizens of our State,
hat do not know that White river is navigable
o Buffalo City, even during the winter and
pring. For the information of all such per
ons, I will give the names of six different
teamboats that were at Buffalo City during
he past season: City of Knoxville, Mononga
lela Belle, Oakland, Mary Patterson, Nebras
ca, and Interchange. Three of these boats
vill run to Buffalo City the coming season—
me of them from that point to New Orleans;
ind possibly other boats will be in the trade.
Batesville is about to make a movement, at
ast, toward improving the navigation from
racksonport to that place. When this is done,
here mav be said to be good navigation to
Buffalo City—at least, during the winter and
ipring months; the worst part of the river
peing between Batesville and Jacksonport.

-Mons. Derate is having a dispute with
Mons. Blondin, at Niagara. He offers to fight
Blondin, on the rope, for $500. This will
Iraw a crowd, should Blondin accept. The
fight we imagine, will result in one blow,
pne clinch, and two drowns, l'he world
moves.
-A party of eight Michiganders have
lately returned from Pike’s Peak, reporting
that gold was not there in sufficient quantities
to pay for going and hunting after it. They
thoroughly tested three different claims in the
Gregory diggings,” and the highest amount
made by one man in a day was $3 50, while
many wol'Keu uaru ail nay wuttuui any return
at all.
—-In North Carolina they have no peni
tentiary. Whipping and branding, the
stocks and the pillory, are among their punish
ments.
-“ Occasional” of the Philadelpia Press
reiterates the assertion that Judge Douglas is
preparing a still more elaborate argument on
the subject of popular sovereignty in the Ter
ritories, and adds that such a paper has been
nearly completed by Judge Douglas, and will
soon be published.
—The death of the young Queen of Por
tugal has already been briefly announced.
She completed her 22d year on the 15th of
July, and died on the 16th.
-A Washington letter says, Col. Jeffer
son Davis, whose health is slowly improving,
has prepared the outline of a bill for the
abrogation of the laws which declare the
slave trade piracy.
-In the constitution being formed for
Kansas, women are allowed to vote in school
matters. They may vote for school officers,
school taxes, and every thing pertaining to
the organization of the Common Schools,
equally with men. Conferring this much of
the elective franchise upon females is inten
ded as an experiment.

The Paris Siecle. in a recent issue, express
es opposition to Pope Pius the Ninth assum
ing the Honorary Presidency of the Haitian
Confederation.
Pope Pins the Ninth, in answeiing an Am
bassador from the F.mperor Napoleon, said he
would not accept the Honorary Presidency of
the Italian Confederation until he could ascer
tain whether or not such an acceptance would
pacify the people of Italy, as well as promote
the interests of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Antonelli has proposed a new
scheme for an Italian Confederation, the
principal object being to control the masses,
and crush any revolutionary movements in the
country.
The Pope has condemned to death seven of
the citizens of Perugia, for their participation
in the massacre in that place. Since the con
demnation of these persons they have escaped.

tty The law passed by the Legislature of
Louisiana, in regard to free negroes, is very
stringent. The following is a synopsis of it:
The act of our Legislature, approved
March 15, 1859, introduced changes in the
law as it existed before that date, and the
law is now very stringent. By the first sec
tion of the act of 1859, any free person of col
or, coming into this state on board a steamer
plying out of the limits of the state, is to be
lodged in jail immediately on the arrival of
the steamer in port, and is to remain there un
til she leaves. This lodging in jail is to be
done by the police authorities.
The second section provides that the captain
may take any such person out of jail by giving
g bond with a penalty of five hundred dollars,
conditioned that the steamer will leave the
port within twenty-four hours, and that the
free person of color shall not be allowed to
go on shore.
The third section provides that on taking
said person out of jail, the master shall pay
forty cents for every day he shall have been
in jail, and no other charges.
X OCTCIIliU OCtUUII JII ui nivo vilUb mv tiui
bor Masters of the port of New Orleans shall
require from the master of any steamer plying
without the State, a written statement, on oath,
of the number,name ami place of residence of
every free person of color by him brought into
theState, on board his vessel, that tripjthe mas
ter of the steamer is also bound, immediately
on his arrival in New Orleans, to send to the
office of the Chief of Police a like statement
on oath. And in case such master neglects
to furnish the Harbor Master with such state
ment when called upon, or neglects to trans
mit the same on his arrival to the office of the
Chief of Police, he shall be condemned to
pay a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars, re
coverable with privilege dh the steamer.
The ninth section provides that the act
shall take effect from and after the first day of
September, 1859.
The other provisions of the act do not af
fect the vessel, and relate merely to the free
persons of color themselves. There is no
mode of evading this law, and strict compli
ance is necessary. The fact that the act gives
the informer one half of the fines collected,
and makes him a complete witness, will keep
the police and others active. .
-The Washington Constitution says that
the preparations for the next session of Con
gress are in full activity. Very many of the
best houses have been rented, and a large pro
portion of the most desirable suites of apart
ments in the principal hotels, and of the choice
rooms in the leading boarding houses, are
already engaged.
——Letters from the Holy Land state that
there are symptoms of the beginning of a

there is a prospect that Christianity may
yet be recognized in the place of its birth.
