These gentlemen have the reputation of being
well suited to the position they have assumed.
The hotel is being put in good order, and avc

three months, left Des Arc on the morning of
the 10th inst., in company with a man by the
name of Koper, to engage in fishing during the

For the Des Arc Citizen.]
CORPORATION AFFAIRS, ETC.
Mr. Editor:—I see in your issue of tlx
13th inst , that the available means of th<
town of Des Arc. amounts to something neai
three thousand dollars ; and you state further
that the aldermen have done nothing as yet
although repeatly urged to do something fo:
the improvement of the town. As a citizei
and tax payer, in the town of Des Arc, I an
exceedingly anxious to sec every thing dom
for the improvement of our town, that cai
possibly be done. It is very plain to everj
citizen of the town, that nothing has, as yet
been done by the present board, and from th<
evidences before me, I very much fear tha
nothing will be done. As a tax payer, I air
unwilling to be taxed when nothing is dom
for the good of the town.
The object of our corporation tax is tlx
improvement of the town. Our board has m
right to keep the money paid in for taxe:
locked up, and refuse to make such .improve
ments as tho good of the town demands.—
From what lean learn nothing of consequent
has been done, save to meet, adjourn, paj
salaries, &c.
For one, I am unwilling to submit to such a
course on the part of our city fathers. T am
unwilling to be taxed to pay salaries of of
ficers when they are neither effecting, or try
ing to effect, any substantial good for the town.
There are a number of measures of importance
that should claim the immediate attention oi
the board. The citizens of the town are not
asleep, they are as a mass, dissatisfied, and I
find many who are unwilling any longer to
pay taxes, and take the position that if their
taxes are to be locked up, and only applied to
paying salaries, that they are in favor of
bursting up the concern, and giving up the
rhnrter. Tt would he hod to edve no nur rhnr
ter, but it is far worse as things are.
If our aldermen are too busy with their own
concerns to attend to the interests of the town,
they should resign ; if it proceeds from lazi
ness, they should resign, or become more in
dustrious ; if it proceeds from a want of in
terest in the welfare of the town, they should
resign s if it is the result of party prejudice,
they should be ashamed of themselves, and
either do better or give place to others.
I propose to the whole board, to go to work,
and expend what money they have, in making
improvements for the benefit of the town, as
far as it will go, and if they will not do that,
then to resign, and let us put others in office
who will do something, and if they will not
do either, then appropriate the money they
have on hand, to building two large school
house.?, with the understanding that these
school rooms shall be open to all denominations
to preach in on Sundays, when denied the
privilege of the churches now built, or here
after to be built in Des Arc.
And if they will not do that, let them de
clare it unconstitutional to collect any more
town revinue, and declare a dividend to each
tax payer in town upon what they already
have, or put it all out in one “ big” treat, and
let all hands get on a general joleification.
I have watched things closely for sometime,
and I think I can trace this want of activity
to the proper source ; I think I understand it,
mid unless something is done, or attempted to
be done before a great while, it is my inten
tion to pitch into the present board “ rough
shod,” and if you will give ms the use of your
columns whenever I think proper to enter
upon this excoriation, I will promise not to
slight you, but notice you as I pass to the
aldermen and their appointees down to the
constable; I will further promise to notice
every man in the employ of the corporation,
except Mr. Frith the treasurer, who can’t
pay out till ordered, and our tall handsome !
clever friend John, who makes the boats pay
for landing on a mud bar, which bar is a very
pleasant place in wet weather.

PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE OF
SALFERINO.
Correspondence of the New York Times ]
Piladelphia, July 12—The New
York Times publishes the following letter
from the battle field at Salferino. The
battle commenced a few moments before
five o’clock in the morning. The Aus
trians were in a position on the hills near
Castiglione. uuder the personal command
of Francis Joseph, with 238,000 troops.
The Emperor Napoleon commenced the
attack by placing cannon on the hills near
est Castiglione. The French soon drove
the euemy from the nearest forts to the
town and followed them into the small
villages on the plain below, the first ol
which was Salferino. The Austrians
disputed every inch of ground, fighting
with great desperation ; they were driven
out of Salferino three times before they
would retire to the hills. The people of
the village of Salferino took a stand against
the French. Their firing from the windows
compelled the French to burn the town
The Austrians fell back on the village
of Volta, and planted formidable baKteriei
on the range of hills, which are situatei
one mile from the Mincio. The cannon
ading here lasted one hour, when a par
of the Austrian force probably crossed th
Mincio. The battle continued to rag
over the region north-west of the line run
j ning through Castiglione, Salferino, am
Volta—the Austrians continually retreat
ing after sharp cannonading. A tre
mendous thuuder-storm suspended the
battle for an hour. After the storm pass
ed away the cannonading commenced on
, the extreme left of the entire field and on
, the borders of the Lake north-east from
Cattiglione, and west of Peschieru.
An incessant arid terrible contest was
maintained nt this point by the Piedmontese
under the King of Sardinia, who received
the Austrians as they came around until
after nightfall, when the batteries of the
, two armies were apparently a half a mile
apart.
The first onset was received with equal
vigor, hut afterwards the Austrians slack
ed their fire and assumed a new position.
The Sardinians poured n rapid and un
interrupted shower of balls upon them.—
After dark the firing of cannon and guns
still continued. The Austrians sustained
an overwhelming defeat. The writer
ofthis letter thinks the Emperor of Aus
tria may now, by the advice of the neutral
powers, accept the peace which the Em
peror Napoleon may tender. He does
not venture a conjecture as to 'he number
killed and wounded, but says 10,000 of
the wounded have been brought into this
village alone, h-'a'des others that were left
on the field of battle and other places.
