Mud*hole»—Pavements—Stove-pipes-—
Taxes—etc,
| Mr. Editor.—I dislike to trouble you with
this communication, but it really seems neces
sary for some one to take an interest In the
wellfare of our town. Having paid to the
collectors, a few days since, over fifty dollars
corporation taxes, I feel that I have a right
at least to enquire, what is all this money
being collected for? I see no improvements
of late except a little at the steam boat land
ing—l am told about five hundred and fifty
dollrr-i worth —which amount, and agreatdeal
more, should have been expended on the land
ing long since—it being warfage money col
lected from boats. This, with a small plank
culvert over Buena Vista and Woodruff streets
is about all 1 know of being done this year
The hands that were at work for the corpo
ration have been discharged, and 1 supposf
nothing more is to be done this year, although
I understand there is near $d,500 available
means at the command of the board of Mayor
and Aldermen. Why not haul brick-bats from
the different yards, or top dirt, and raise the
low places in Buerta Vista street, and otherwise
improve it, to prevent the miserable mud-holes
that will be before store doors the coming
winter and spring ? The- merchants have a
right to demand it. They pay, I think, more
than half the taxes of the town. What in re
turn have they received? Other improve
ments, in different parts of the town, ought to
be made, injustice to the tax-payer9. If they
are not to be made. I say refund a portion of
the money which has been collected this year,
and reduce the taxes for the future.to one-halt
or one-third of the present rate. Justice de
mand! that one or the other should be done,
ami if the powers that be will not act, we
will have to be content for the present, with
tli-- hop? tuat a batter day may come. Even the
paving of the side-walks has stopped. A few
have complied with the law, (your humble
servant for one.) while a large majority seem
to disregard it, having but one month to go on
after which time rhe corporation, according
to existing law's, will have the paving done at
the expense of the owner*, and at an additional
expense of fifty per cent, on the cost, together
with the costs of selling the lots to pay for
said paving, (if not otherwise paid.) Several
monied men are waiting to buy lots at such
sale-—say they will risk the title. So we oo.
We have elected men to moke our corporation
lawsand our town chatter, as they suppose,
bears them out in saying we must make pave
ments in front of our lots on both sides of
Iiueua Vista street, by the 1st day of December
next, at our own expense. Quite a number
have complied with the law, and I suppose
think others should do so. “When you are in
Rome do as Rome does.” It is of but little
use to make a s ot of pavement here and
there. If lot-holders understood their own
interest, they would not hesitate to make the
required pavements If they fail to do so, the
powers that rule the city must either back
dovvn, or go ahead. Wt will see ! And,
Mr. Editor, l hope I will not be considered
officious for remarking, that from the number
of stove-pipes passing out of the roofs of
houses iu Des Arc, and the great number in
prospect, particularly on Buena Vista St..one
would suppose the proper authority ought to
send on for an engine and hose forthwith, and
a fire company ought immedia'ely organise,
also a bucket, ai d hook and ladder company,
which will surely be very useful institutions
in Des Arc soon, unless we have extraordinary
good luck. The fact is, those owning build
ings. on Buena Vista street, in the business part
of town in which stove3 are used, should be
required to put up brick flues from the seal
ing to a sufficient distance above the roofs of
such houses, that the sparks will in ordinary
weather pa-'s above the roofs of adjacent
buildings. Stove-pipes put up in the ordinary
and frequently careless manner are very
dangerous, and causing great uneasiness to
tiiose not feeling that their business justifies
the expense of insurance. It is to be hoped
that the board of Aldermen will at least look
to the interest of a large number of citizens
in this matter, without delay.

Southern Authoresses.—The Uditor
of the Mobile Register is in New York,
and, in a letter to his paper, thus speaks
of Miss Martha Butt, a Southern woman,
who is attracting a large share of atten
tion and admiration na a writer ot fiction:
‘•At fourteen, she published a volume in
reply to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Her fugitive
essays are numerous —light efforts it: which
she is trying the strength of her pinions
before addressing luifsell earnestly to a
more serious flight. It is relreshing, in
these days of rapid female life, of flounces
and crinoline, to meet young Southern
girls, fearlessly entering the lists of intel
lectual combat, and deriving from that
wholesome exercise the inspiration and
happiness which so many seek in dress,
coquetry and superficial accomplishments.

Memphis Market.
Memphis, Appeal Office. )
Saturday Oa obe. 29, 1*59. {
Cotton.—Sales yesterday ware pretty
full, about 2,000 bales, but prices were low
and a gioorny feeling pervaded the market,
principally f. om the deficiency of banking ac
commodation*. There have been some pecu
liar financial operations on the part of certain
monied institutions in the city, which have
excited considerable feeling-; If the line ol
policy indicated is continued, there is likely
to be an exhibition of strong irrdtgnatior
against a system that strikes at the indlvidtu
