■Traping, Speculating, fec.-WeEcr have
4 known such a desire to possess property,
iB . nil around Des Arc, as has been exhibited
rlently. We hear daily of heavy trades in
K,K town lots, &c. To keep up with the
f§ of emigration to this section has become
■tot the cpiestion. Daily we meet numbers
■ strange faces—most of them in search of
■ofitable investments, or locating in our
■dst. The demand for dwellings and busi
n|„ bouses has outstripped the utmost exer
ttr is of our mechanics, and to-day twenty-five

M. Harvey, Esq., owns land on the west bank
of White river, and claims under the statutes
I the State, that he is entitled to the privile
ge for which the petitioners pray. The peo
p|i residing east of White river, together with
tftlzcns of Des Arc and vicinity, have signed
ft j petition and strenuously contend ttiat an
Bier ferry is much needed at our town. We
■ve but one opinion, and that is thatthe pray

art for the public good, especially where indi

ebnplish that end.

Southern Convention at Vicksburg.
To ike People of the Slaveholding Stales :
Fellow-Citizens—A committee, con
sisting of J. D. B. DeBo’w, of Louis
iana ; Hon. John A. Quitman, of Mis
sissippi ; non. vjruy ivi. jmyun,ui acaus;
lion. VV. L. Yancey, of Alabama ; and
Major W. II. Chase, of Florida ; was
appointed at the late Southern Conven
tion in Montgomery, to invite the people
of the Southern States to be represented
at an adjourned meeting of the conven
tion in Vicksburg, Miss., on the ninth day
of May next"
S. The lamented decease of Gen. Quit
man, created, soon after, a vacancy in the
committee, which was filled with the name
of Gen. J. J. McRae.
The committee cannot believe that an
argument is necessary to demonstrate to
the people of the slaveholding States the
importance of union among themselves,
and of mutual good understanding in the
origination and discussion of questions es
sential to their security and repose.
Of this nature are the questions which
come annually before the convention, and
whatever diversity of opiniou exists in re
gard to some of them, it cannot be doubt
ed that the light which the discussions
elicit, and the conflict of mind and mind,
which they induce, exercise an influence
most salutary, and keep alive a spirit
favorable to patriotism.
The presence annually at the conven
tion of a large number of men of posi
tion and character from every section of
the South, and of a large representation
from the masses of the people, not under
the restraints of party, and in no wise
obliged to do its behests, and the free in
terchange of opinion which takes place
among them, is itself an important fea
ture of the convention, and, in the absence
of every other, should insure its perpetui
ty.
It is only from such assemblages that,
in periods of great public peril, the hopes
of the patriot can be realized—ns the co
lonial history of the country evinced.
There is no name honored in the coun
cils, or revered in the hearts of the South,
Irotri the earliest period ol its history to
the present, that may not he claimed as
authority for everything that is sought by
the convention. From such patriotic sour
ces have come warnings of danger,
against which the convention would pro
vide, and appeals for action to which the
convention would respond ; and il any ol
these are now to he found in conflict with
it, or interposing discouragements, com
monplace, yet sincere men, may find ii
difficult to understand the peculiar influ
ence in establishing the security and re
pose of the South, which has been exer
cised by the recent triumphs oi macu-re
publicanism in every tree Slate of the
North, and its seeminglv secured majori
ties in the Electoral College.
Fellow-citizens of the South, let us not
be gulled into sleep and dreams of seen
rity, which experience teaches can onh
prove to be illusory, for opposition to slav
ery has entered into the bead and heart oi
the people of the North, and can alone be
met by wisdom and firmness on the par
of the South.
The power which threatened us in it:
infancy and weakness, unless met ant
rebuked, is not likely to hike a step back
ward in the hour of its bighe't triumph
whatever to the contrary it may be the in
terest or the want of nerve in politician:
to teach.
There is much for the Convention, how
ever, to do beyond the discussion of po
litical questions, important, as are these
for within its purview comes everythin)
that relates to the intellectual, moral, edu
cational and industrial development of tin
South. To create opinion is to crea:
things.
The executives of the several State
and the various municipal bodies of tin
South are earnestly requested to sem
such delegates as will best represent th
opinions of the body of the people.
The 9th day of May will be a favoi
able time to visit Vicksburg, and the cit
zens of that hospitable community invit
to the waters of the Mississippi the peopl
of the Atlantic States and of the Gulf.
Delegates to recent conventions are ir
vited to this.

From Washington—Nicaragua Affairs. 1
Washington, April 2.—The non-ar- .
rival of the British naval frigate, having!
on board Lord Lyons, the new British
minister to this country, excites great fears I
for her safety.
The Nicaraguan Transit treaty has i
been ratified with an additional article, to
the effect that Nicaragua has surrendered
none of her rights over the Mosquito
coast. Tiie Mosquito treaties were still j
pending.
The Cass-Yrissari treaty has not yet
been acted on. If it appears that Minis
ter Ousely has transcended or violated his
instructions, England will he formally re
quested to disavow his acts. It is also
probable that if Nicaragua ratifies nil the
British treaties anil rejects ours, Lamar
will withdraw and Jerez be tendered his
passports.
^t is reported that our vessels will be
concentrated at the most exposed points,
for the protection of persons and property
of American citizens.
Minister Bowlin writes hopefully of be
ing able to make a satisfactory arrange
ment in the Paraguay expedition.

u,til the middle of .i>ily.
It is unnecessary for the proprietor to say
ny thing in praise of Buffalo City. The fact
if its meeting with such continued bitter op
lositioii from other points and places, is some
woof, at least, that it is the place, the
'01 nt for a city, in fact. Go see the site, and
he extensive country and l apid improvements;
ievvthe Buffalo Shoals, examine the maps of
iie country, enquire of old citizens. Pay no
.ttention to those who are actuated by self
nterest, or a dislike to see others prosper, anil
•on will surely be convinced that Buffalo City,
the foot of' the Buffalo Shoals, on Upper
iVtiite river, in Arkansas, is destined to be, in
oality, what it is by name.
