C. A. Judson, Carpenter and Joiner,
KTC._We invite attention to Mr. Jndson’s
card in our columns. He has been a resident
of Des Arc (luring the past six years, and
has constantly followed his vocation. Re
cently he has erected an excellent shop in a
central location, and, as usual, is both ready
end willing to accommodate all who may give
him a call, with work in liis line. But—read

Hickory Plain Town Lots at Auction.
P. H. Wilkinson, E^q., the proprietor, an
. nounccs that he will sell, at the above place,
fifteen miles West of Des Arc, on the 6th of
March, a number of Lots. A full descrip
tion of the location, its superior inducements,
&.c., will be found in our advertising columns.
The rapid settlement of Prairie county, has
i created the necessity of laying out and build
ing up towns in various portions of it. Ihose
wishing to make investments in a rich agii
culturaI section, contiguous to fine schools
and good society, would do well to attend this
sale. __
We are pleased to leai n that Mr. John
Newman has become sub-contractor on mail
route No. 73IS2, from Des Arc, via Jone’s
Hill, to Cotton Plant, St. Francis county, and
that this mail will hereafter be promptly car
ried. The public would be greatly benefited
if the time of the arrival and departure could
be changed. An effort will shortly be made
to accomplish this matter.
The alarm of fire on Thursday evening,
was caused by the burning out of a chimney at
the Des Arc Hotel.
Mail Facilities—the Route from Madi
son to Little Rock—Superiority of the
Rowtf. via Des Arc—Overland Mail, etc.
_Mail facilities in Arkansas arc acknowledg
edly the most uncertain in the Union. Contrac
tors, no doubt, do all in their power to com
ply with the law, make schedule time, &c.—
But impossibilities arc not required even of
those who “work by contract” for Uncle Sam.
i The mail route from Madison to Little Rock,
via Clarendon, Devall’s Bluff, &c., as now “oc
casionally traveled” by mail coaches, mud
wagons, mule and ox^tcains, is one of the
veriest humbugs ever imposed upon the Gen
eral Post Office Department. The distance
from Madison to Little Rock by the above
mentioned route is 141 miles, ami over a coun
try that can only he traveled occasionally
during the winter and spring, and but three
or four post-offices can be supplied. The
route f orn Madison to Little Rock via Des
Arc is 105 miles, over an infinitely better
route, and upon which there is now eight
post-offices, and the number could be doubled
iu three months from the time the route could
be stocked. The only difficulty on this route
13 the overflow in Cache bottom, a distance of
some seven miles, and this has been recently
overcome, and a safe and speedy transit can be
made through what is termed Snake Bayou.
Plenty of men are ready to take the contract
of conveying the mail and passengers through
in a few hours. The California Overlanc
Mail Company can save thousands of dollars
each year, and from one to two days time
every trip, by adopting this route.
Mail contractors should not listen to the
“yarns and fabrications” of those who opposi
the route from Madison to Des Arc, but they
should go over the route themselves. This
route is settled by an industrious and wealthy
population, who in truth, are entitled to mai
facilities, while the route via Clarendon ani
Devall’s Bluff is comparatively but sparsely
settled.
Will our delegation in Congress look inti
this matter, and see that those who are entitle'
to mail facilities over the nearest and mos
feasible route from Madison westward, ar
accommodated? Will Col. B. C. Hablet
the IT. S. Mail Agent, look into (he partialit
that has been extended to an unsettled portio
of the State, while the settled and improve
portion has been neglected. The few. appa
rently, have controlled the establishment o
mail mutes in Arkansas, to the serious detri
ment and injury of the mast.
LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON, nr
James Parton—3 vols. 8 vo. 650
pages each—with steel portraits.
Prof. G. Craighead, A. B , General
Agent for Arkansas, in obtaining sub
scriptions for this invaluable work, spent
several days in our town during the past
I week. Among those who have entered
their names for the work, are the follow- j
in?:—
Dr. Theo. Sanders, R. J. Hamilton,
Geo. McLaren, J. H. Quisenherry, D.
W. Munroe, Jno. W. Garrett, Jas. E.
Gatewood, R. C. McCarly, Col. W. W.
Wair, Dr. J. J. Lane, J. C. Tarkinton,
W. J. Wilson, F. A. Wortham. W. E.
Robertson, R. T. Simpson, J. B. Hayley,
Win. E. Raulston, and others.
The publishers in their prospectus say, that
“The Life of this extraordinary man, now
offered to the public, tells the strange, event
ful story of his career for thefirst time. The
works previously published upon the Life of
Andrew Jackson, besides being brief and in
complete, were written for the purpose of
influencing votes, and could not be otherwise
than partial and eulogistic. The present
work has been prepared with the single ob*
jectof telling the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth—suppressing nothing—
explaining away nothing—exaggerating noth
ing. By personal researches and inquiries in
the States and localities Where General Jack
son lived and acted, Mr. Parton has accumu
lated a larger amount of valuable and origi
nal material that was, perhaps, ever brought
together before to illustrate the life of one
man. As far as possible, the author has seen
every thing with his own eyes, and gone to
the sources of information, resolute always
to reach the real and innermost truth.
The three volumes of the Work will each
present General Jackson in a dilferent charac
ter, in different scenes, surrounded by differ
ent co-operators.
Volume First exhibits him chiefly in the
character of a western pioneer. It con
tains an immense mass of new information re
specting the race whence Andrew Jackson
sprung—his childhood and school-life—his
career as a teacher of an Old Field School—
law student and back-woods lawyer—frontier
district attorney and judge—a member of
Congress—storekeeper and planter—sporting
man and Indian fighter. This volume contains
a large number of Jackson’s earliest letters,
some of which were written when lie had
barely attained his majority; also, full and
correct accounts of his extraordinary mar
riage, his early duels, his connection and cor
respondence with Aaron Burr, his feud and
attray with the Bentons, his brilliant and suc
cessful Creek campaign, with original letters
of General Coffee never before published.
Volume Second presents a far fuller account
of General Jackson’s military career than
any yet before the public. It comprises
British and American narratives of the great
New Orleans campaign, together with letters
written by Jackson, Coffee and others in the
midst of the arduous struggle, and a large
number of incidents and anecdotes obtained
directly from participators in the battles, and
fronij residents of New Orleans. This vol
ume contains, also, the whole truth respect
ing the Seminole War of 1818, the invasion
of Florida, the execution of Arbuthnot and
Ambrister, the secret orders of President
Monroe, the origin of Jackson’s feuds with
Crawford, Calhoun, Clay, and Adams. Gen
eral Jackson’s celebrated confidential corres
pondence with Mr. Monroe is printed in full,
with all requisite explanatory comments. Ev
ery step or the process by which Genera!
Jackson was rendered a candidate for the
presidency is explained from documents writ
ten and furnished by the men who were chief
ly instrumental in his elevation.
Volume Third exhibits General Jackson as
the Statesman. Upon this volume the au
thor has expended his best strength. The field
is new, the material immense, the subject of
the highest interest and importance. Vol
ume Third reveals the interior history of the
Cabinet explosion of 1830, the Mrs. Eaton
intrigues, the “ War of the Succession,” the
great Bank contest, the French einbroglio, and
ail the other exciting events of the most stor
my period in the history of American politics.
Avast number of anecdotes of the Washing
ton and White House life of General Jackson,
never before printed, will give variety to the
pages of this volume. The close of the Gen
eral’s life—his retirement to the Hermitage—
his conversion and theological studies—his
last sickness and the conversation of his dying
bed, and his peaceful death—are related from
the testimony of eye-witnesses.
