BGF' The war of radicalism still reigns
with unabated fury throughout the North.
Scarcely a paper comes to hand without
bringing us accounts of furious speeches—
severe denunciations and bitter curses
against him, the Executive, who has in
curred the wrath of the Abolition Gods.
Sumner has exhausted his rhetoric Ste
vens has sworn out. And now a3 these
worthies retire, their places are filled bv
little gad-flies, whoso names were never
beard beyond the boundaries of their own
counties, who fret at such a rate that
one would almost imagino the earth trem
bled beneath their vengeance. While all
this is going on, he. upon whose shoulders
rest the responsibility of Government,
stands unmoved. Thinking men, honest
men every where support him; confident
that he will do right. This is as it should
bo; the people have seen cnongh of war,
enough of its consequences. Now that
the drums aro hushed, the war-cry no
longer heard, good men are anxious and
willing to unite their energies in bringing
about a peace. Not a mere cessation of
hostilities; but a peace that will prove it
self by its fruitj standing by, and support
ing the President and the Constitution,

mouious action. While the good and
brave, North and South, are laboring for
their countries weal; there are those who
would bathe her again in blood through
their cowardly pretentions aud fanaticism,
if they did but dare
When shall these things <nd? « When
will fanaticism cease ? Not until it is by
united action on the part of sensible,
thinking men. driven back to its own le
gitimate sphere, its beloved New England
Let us, therefore, as a people who love
the Constitution, "ho respect ourselves,
work no longer against each other; but,
let us, united and strong, raise our voice?
agaiust oppression and wrong—the chil
dren of radicalism—discountenancing and
resisting all encroachments upon the Con

of this great nation. By so doing we shall
work out a glorious destiny for ourselves,
while we leave radicals and fanatics to gi

DEATH OF JOHN C. MORiULL.
It is tbo task of the Journalist, oftimos, os
pecially during dark and gloomy seasons—
such a* enshroud us at present—to ohroniclt
the death of acquaintances and friends, cu
down by the destroying angel's scythe Bu
it can well be imagined that there are period:
in this, mournful record, and instance's trans
piring in the performance of this unpleasau
duty, when the hand of friendship grow:
tremulous, the eye of affection moistens, ant
the heart is stirred into its depths. Such i;
the case at present, for the lamented dead had
every quality to inspire warm affection, and
cveate profound attachment, fientle, true,
great and chivalrous, lived Jon.s C. Montut.i..
It is but justice to say a great and good man
has fallen; loved and respected by all. And
when the death-summons came, it found him
calm, contented and resigned. No murmur
at the stern decree escaped him; and softly
and sweetly he went asleep, the last long
sleep.
It was not the privilege of the writer, as
one of the host of friends, to minister beside
his couch of pain. But we are informed, that
during his short illness; patience, meekness
and resignation, were distinguishing charac
teristics of the kind-hearted and noble-mind
ed deceased.
To his relatives who were not permitted to
be with him in the solemn hour of his dissolu
tion, you have our deep and genuine sympn
thy. "'hen science, skill, and unwearied de
votion and attention, could possibly accom
plish no more; and when all was over, life’s
pilgrimage ran; amid the tears and sighs o
mourning friends and relatives, he was boros
to his last resting place; and “ dust to dust, ’
“ ashes to ashes, ” were pronounced amid th
sublime and solemn burial rites of the Mn
sonic Fraternity, of which he was a taitlifu
and worthy member. Farewell 1 dear friem
and brother, wo shall travel far in the jourae
of life before our band shall meet a more lion
est grasp than thine, or our heart hud a warm
er than thy own responding to its beatings.

It is but justice to the memory of th
late J- C. Morrill, that the above cotn
luunication should be made public. I
was received shortly after his death, bu
such were the times that this tribute to
great and good man could not be paid.
The name of J (\ Morrill is familia
to every citizen of Prairie, and the adjoin
ing counties. More than this, it i§ a naim
that is revered, if known, wi erever hotter
ty has a home, or truth a supporter. Asa,
citizen, J. O,Morrill had no superior. J
Whatever was of benefit to the comiuuni
tv or town, found in him an earnest sup
porter, ready to devote his every energy to
1 its promotion. Was an improvement to
be made ? he engaged in the work with a
zeal and determination tnat overcame ob
stacles and accomplished that which often
seemed almost impossible. Muny who
read this article will bear witness with us.
that this town, and this community, owes
much of its improvement to the enterprise i
and energy of him of whom wc write As 1
a man the writer of the above article has j
paid him but a just tribute All that
make a man, honesty, truth, justice, fidcli- ]
ty, were in him nobly centered, and har- ,
moniuusly combined. 1
But it is our intention to speak of bin) '
more particularly as a Journalist; for with '
him as such many are acquainted. Few
whose eyes fall upon this article do not (
recollect when Pes Arc could scarcely
claim to be a town, when there were but ]
few inhabitants and little encouragement
offered to enterprise and energy It was 1
at such a time that J. 0. Morrill started
bis paper, the Dcs Arc Citizen A1
though the prospect was gloomy, he was ,
not disheartened. Surrounded by obsta
cles, he commenced the work, and well !
did he accomplish it The Citizen under •
his careful guidance and skillful manage
ment, came up through the trials to which ,
all newspapers arc subject, to take its \
place as»ono of the papers of the State, j
Boldly,* honestly and consistently, he i
marked out his course and followed it; fol
lowed it through the various political cam
paigns of the times, making his paper val- ;
uable and welcome to every democrat of
WUn ervont nncstinn of .
..J °
secession sprang, he took no neutral
"round; upon the broad platform oi States
Rights—he took his stand, to do battle for
his country—and, nobly, valiantly did he
fight; fought till Arkansas placed her star
in the Southern galaxy, fought till her
sons joined in the victorious shout that
rang out up* n the field of Manassas; till
hope beat high in Southern hearts: then
laid aside his armor. On the 29th. of
March, 1862, he was called home to his
(lod. Thither he went mourned by his
friends, his los3 lamented by the whole
community. As over our land the enemy
extended his rule, improvement ceased,
enterprise failed; when it could no longer
exist, the Citizen ceased to be.
But times have changed; the roar of i
cannon and rattle of musketry have died I
away. Peace has stretched her wings
above us. calming passion, subduing anger 1
and awakening energy; calling for im- |
provement and demanding enterprise. In (
obedienee to this call, we have commenced t
the publication of the Des Arc Citizen, <
determined to make it all that it once was. 1
The managing proprietor of this paper. '
.Mr. J. H. Balding—a nephew of the late ,
I 0. Morrill—having been brought up <
and tutored in all that pertains to the bus- i
iness by him, asks no more than to be sup- '
ported as was his uncle. All that can be f
done to make the Citizen a reliable and
readable paper will be done. As it once ;
was, so it shall now be, the warm support- (
er of all that is good and true, the earnest i
advocate of improvement, the people’s >
friend. While we do not claim the vir- 1
tues of the departed Morrill, all that
his paper was. ours shall aim to be.
DES ARC, BAUD WELLE AND FORT
SMITH RAILROAD
Mr. Editor:—“Observer," through the
columns of the Crescent, has drawn the at ten
I .1.1:.. ... ,l... nf <i well
devised system of Internal Improvements, in
building up and developing the resources of a
new country; and particularly, to the very
great results which must necessarily follow
an extension of the “ Iron Mountain Rail
road ” to the Southern boundary of Arkansas.
As a citizen, 1 feel a deep interest in all
projects calculated to built! up the country,
develop its resources, and make its waste
places blossom as the rose. In my opinion,
one of the greatest and most efficient agencies
to which we can address ourselves in the ac
complishment of this desirable purpose, is the
construction of the “ Des Arc, Dardanelle
and Fort Smith Railroad. This road was in
! eorporated by the Legislature of the State of
i Arkansas, December. 1860. John II. Quisen
| berry, John C. Morrill, J. E. Gatewood. John
■ Jackson, W. B. Crocker, John S. Pearson,
‘ John S Williams, Russ Evans, Sim. Horne,
A. 0. Edwards, A. S. Thomas, B. C Totton,
' John C. Davis, D. Harsh&w, John Venable, II. i
* W. Harper, Anderson Gordon G. W. Le- '
moyne and J. T. Stirman composed said cor
poration, •• with such other persons, corpora
tions, states, counties aud cities, as may sub
scribe to stock in said company; and comply ;
with the provisions contained in this act; ]
: (lie charter to continue for a term of ninety
■ nine years. The attention of the people a- ;
, long this line was immediately directed to '
1 , the ac ion of the Legislature, the initiatory
t i steps for a preliminary examination, recon-i
i noissancc and survey of ilie route had been ta- I
ken: when the minds of the people were
| turned from this great project by the irresist
ible torrent of passion and excitement, which j
; preceeded, and precipitated the bloody drama |
51 of the last four years. Now that the war is I
'1 6ver, and '■'* tumult of passion sosaiwlut as- j
waged, let us return to sober thought, deter
mined notion and improving enterprise
rhat this road is one of very great import
,nce to the people from Dos Arc to For
Smith, no one after reflection can doubt
Commencing at ltes Arc, and running west
ward by way of, say. Hickory Hains, Austin
Springfield or Lcivisburg, Norristown an.
DarUnnellc to Fort Smith It passes, throul
he comities of Prairie, Conway, Pope, Yell
franklin and Sebastian; and giving to tha
iccfion of the State an outlet and markc
vliieli it greatly needs. The country througl
vliicli the road passes is productive, capabl
if supporting a largo population; and whei
lie road is completed, will become dcnsel;
cttled. At present the inhabitants along th
inc of this road have almost no market; the;
ire compelled to trade by way of Arkansa
iver, and of necessity*, trade about once ■.
-ear. That river, it is well known, is naviga
lie at only particular seasons, and sometime
iot at all for a whole twelve months. Man;
iere will recollect that there was a time whei
lie merchants on Arkansas river shippei
heir goods to Des Arc, and with wagons am
earns transported them from that point, t<
licit* respective placos of business; whet
ong trains of wagons came lrotn the In.liai
Nation to this point for supplies; and whei
he government supplies for Fort Smith wer
ihipped here, and carried overland to tha
lost. It may be said that was an unusual sea
ion, and not likely to occur again. It was ai
in usual season, bnt the like may occur again
n fact, the probabilities are in favor of its s.
lappening again. The navigation of Arkan
ias river cannot be expected to improve
Flic navigation of rivers, generally, deterior
itcs with the settling of the country. Con
itant deposits raise their beds or channels, th'
tanks give way, and they become wider an.
norc shallow, with no actual diminution o
he volume of water. This is probably tru.
vitli reference to'Arkansas river; the soil a
ong her banks is a rich, loose alluvial deposit
rad with every flood or rise, there is an addi
ional cutting away, or caving in of its banks
vhich is by the current deposited in the bee
if the river, raising it. that much, and render
ng it. more and more unnireu 101
The railroad from DoVall’s Bluff to l.ittlc
lock, it. is said, obviates to some extent tht
liticulties presented'by way of Arkansas riv
■r. So far as Little Rock is concerned, tliat
s true. Little Rock, and the very few people
dong tlic line of that road, are benefited; but
hose above Little Rock, and along the lino of
his road, are not benefited; unless, perhaps,
o those living immediately above and on the
iver, the distance for hauling has been di
niuished some little; and this, in all probabil
ty, more than equalled in the additional cost
if transportation, reshipment, storage, etc.
Vhen this road is built, it will open up «
narket and outlet for the products and trade
if all that section of country between Des Arc
md Fort Smith—which now has no market—
,nd settle it up with an enterprising, thriving,
ndustrious population, who will one day push
he read to its intersection with the southern
iranch of the Pacific Railway, as far west
ward as nature will allow. The question now
(resented, is, how shall we build this road,
,nd what are we to do? I answer, that wt
mist build the road by going to work in gooii
arnest ourselves, and getting every body elsi
0 work in good earnest. “ Now is the ac
epted time.” The people elsewhere alouf
1 e line arc becoming interested, and are as
onishod at our want of interest. “ Striki
rhile the iron is hot.” In this State, nine
enths of the people own lands- Let th
wners of land take stock, securing the pay
lent of their subscription by mortgage o
rust upon lands, or subscribe lands, and le
l(e lands be sold by the company for mono
nth which to build tlio road. By the 7th
ection of the act of incorporation, the “ dom
oil ” of the company is located “ in the cit
f Des Arc.” By the 11th. section, the follow
ng persons were appointed to receive sul
criptions to the stock of the company, vii
or the city of Des Arc; J II. Quisenbcrry, J
L Morrill, W. B Crocker and II. P. Vaughai
or Hickory Plains; L, D. Ilarshaw, A. J
riiomas, W. I . Moore: for Austin; J. C. Skii

John J. Stirman and John II. Jones: fo
Fort Smith; Sol. F. Clark and A. J. Myers
Under the 12th. section of this act, the com
missioners have power to appoint agents an
deputies for the purpose of raising stock i
other places. Many of the commissioners ar
now dead. Let the survivors appoint agent
and deputies, open books and set to work a
once in getting stock. The people of I)cs Ar
should begin the work; no time is to bo lost
time is mon^y;” and money is required t
put the t igging on the iron horse. Wo live ii
a f ist age; times have changed within the las
four years. A new era has dawned upon us
We have eaten the forbidden fruit, have bcei
driven out of the garden; ought to know goo
from evil; must live by our own exertions
must go to work and “ reconstruct ”, general
ly, and construct particularly ; bis Railroad
Must have the locomotive scream responsiv
to the whistle of the steamboat; the one t
bear along the products of the great West, tin
other the commerce of the East; and meeting
the two to set up business at our very doors
Probably l may refer to this again.
