Dr. S. Cheniva’s Infirmary.—We are
gratified in being able to record, amor.g other
evidences of the growing prosperity of Des
Arc, that Dr. Cheniva of New Orleans, now
a resident and practicing physician in our
town, has established in our midst an Iiifimary
for the cure of all chronic diseases. This
willproveof great practical benefit and will
be a pecuniary saving to farmers and planters
throughout the country. Mileage and visit*
will be saved—not a small item in a doctor’s
bill, particularly where the case is of long
standing and difficult to be broken up. The
Doctor has had experience in hospital
practice in the c'ty of New OrleanB and in
Europe, and we are confident that, if encour
aged as he deserves to be, he will be eminently
useful in his endeavors to serve the public.
Aricansaas State Telegraph Line.—
Mr. Snow, of the firm of Snow &. Ketchum,
contractors of the line of Telegraph from
Little Rock to Memphis and from Madison to
Helena, informs us that the work is progressing
favorably. The necessary amount of stock to
take the line to Helena, was subscribed last
week, in a single day at that enterpising city.
Mr. S. has just returned from New York,
where he has been for the purchase of the
wire for the main line. He has succeeded in
hi. -_il.il_ Ik. tbe rr» •* * M

route will be on hand within 60 days.
The poles, from Madison to Memphis, were
all cut on Thursday last, and delivered upon
•he track, awaiting distribution by the R. R.
Co., which will take place this coming week,
and part of Mr. Snow’s business in this vi
cinity is to hurry the poles on the Third Di
vision, between Deval’s Bluff and Little Rock.
Mr. S.. before leaving, will call upon our
leading citizens with a view of consultation,
and of ascertaining whether stock enough
can by raised to supply our city with this
preat desideratum, a Telegraph office. We
make no doubt of his entire success.
Arrest or a Thief.—The quiet of our
town was disturbed yesterday by the arrest of
' young man named Bill Powell, aged about
twenty years. The circumstances as related
to us, areas follows: About the first of the
'Teek, a keel-boat loaded with bacon amt com
was on her way from Talbot’s Ferry to Bates
v<He, having but three or four men for a crew.
A branch of the house of Burr, of Batesville,
*t Talbot’s Ferry, sent $8u<) by the boat to
the house in Batesvill, and when arriving at
nufTilo City they grounded. Being unable to
S't the boat off, they prepared to coine down
a yawl. The money was taken off the boat
'he night previous and placed under a rock on
'■he bank. Everything being ready in the
darning, the money was found to be missing,
with the exception' of $120 in gold which lay
scattered around, and a couple of bills which
Were torn in two. Suspicion rested upon
young Powell and he was closely watched —
Open the crew arriving at Batesville, he
(Powell) was detected stealing a watch, razor
afid some perfumery, and finally a skiff, with
which he left Batesville. One of the young
den arrived here this morning looking for
Powell. He had not been long here until the
object of his search walked into town, having
opposed of the skiff on his way down. He
"as immediately arre-ted, firmly tied with a
r°pe and taken back. He took it quite cool),
remarking that be would mucb prefer being
taken out and whipped than to go to Little
koek. No doubt of it.— TJacksonpoi t Herald

Fire Engines.
Mr. Editor: It is astonishing that oui
citizens are so unmindful of their true inter
ests as not to immediately purchase a firi
engine for the use of our flourishing llttli
town. Every thinking mind can see the ne
cessity of this step. Our town is almos
entirely built of wood, and if a fire shouli
break out it would sweep everything remorse
lessly in its course ; and where, but a feu
short hours previous, stood a beautiful vil
lags, nothing would remain but burnt ani
charred masses, here and there, to tell th(
passing stranger they were the blackeuec
ruins of a once thriving town.
Why hug the delusive phantom of hope tc
our bosoms that having thus far, in our on
ward progress, escaped the fiery element, w<
may do so in future. Does not the fate ol
some of our sister cities teach us that we toe
maybe thus afflicted? The day may not be
far distant when you will rue having trusted
too long that good fortune which has eve:
clustered around your homes; when you will
weep in sackcloth and ashes on account of this
temerity.
It i9 strange that a town as large as ours
does not contain such an institution as a fire
engine to protect and save the lives and pro
perty of our citizens from the fell destroyer.
“ In time of peace prepare for war,” is an old
saying and one applicable to the point at
issue. Why delay this important step?
Where is the public spirit of which you so
eloquently boast? You certainly can have
none as far as regards this matter.
Purchase at least one fire engine, build pub
lic cisterns on the corners of our principal
streets, and when a fire comes you will be
prepared to stay its progress. Self-protec
tion, self-interest, urges this course, and why
hesitate to adopt it?
Experience is a severe teacher, and do yon
intend having experience in this matter ere
you will be ready to act? No—I cannot be
lieve but that you will come forward and act
before it is too late. *

Sunday evening.
At the present moment great prepara
tion’s nr* -being made in England for the
departure of the Prince of Wales to Ame

Five ships of war will constitute the

Despatches from Italy represent that
Garibaldi had deleftled the royal troops
and entered Palermo, but it lacked con
firmation.
The Paris Patrie says the insurrection
ists are organizing, so that the fall of
Palermo is merely a question ol lime.
Garibaldi declares that Sicily shall be
annexed to Italy, ns soon as the tnsurgeuts
take Palermo.
The Sardinian chambers approved of
the cession of Savoy.
The Chinese have acceded to the terms
of the demand of the English and French,
paying the expenses of opening ports and
rivers to navigation and making them
free.
China has officially warned Americans
against kidnapping coolies.
Prince Goitnro, the head of the Japa
nese Government, has been assassinated
Two of the assassins were Princes of high
rank. Thirty others had been beheaded.
The new dynasty is opposed to foreign
commerce, which is likely to be overthrown
by an insurrection, headed by Prince
Meto. Consuls advise foreigners to arm
themselves.
Late dispatches are decidedly favorable
to Garabaldi. The insurgents are still
occupying the Palermo heights.
Messina was tranquil, but ready for an
outbreak if Garabaldi enters Palermo, of
which there is little doubt.
Garabaldi’s force was swelled from 3G.
600 to 40.000.
An intercepted dispatch from the gen
eral of the royal forces says there were
2,300 killed and wounded out ol 5,000
troops.
The Naples Zeitung snys the bands of
Garabaldi were totally routed while they
were endeavoring to embark. The rebels
accuse each other of treachery. Dis
patches very confliciory
It is reported that trance and ttussm
have agreed to the partition of Tmkey,
one share to go to England, if acceptable.
China letters say the Chinese reply to
the allies is unsatisfactory, and hostilities
are inevitable.
Several dispatches say Garabnldi en

considered unreliable.
