Revival at West Point, White Coun
ty.-We learn that our Baptist friends held
a protracted meeting, commencing on the 8th
and closing on the 24th ult., at the above
place. Our fellow-citizen, Elder Jas. M. Cox,
who has charge of the church, assisted by
Elder T. P. Boone of Searcy, conducted the
meeting. The result of their labors was some
thirty-five or forty conversions—thirty-one
baptized, and thirty-seven additions to the
church. ___—
Sylvania Academy.—We invite attention
to the advertisement of this institution in our
columns. The Principal, Miss E- D. Safford,
is a lady of fine acquirements, and the best
evidence of her worih as a teacher, is evinced
by the universal favorable testimony of her
patrons, and the array of names she presents
as references. The location of this Academy
is unexceptionable—being very healthy and
the community around universally known as
high toned and moral.
Ti.pp-p _The c.f nnr townsman.
F. Leptien, was entered on Sunday night last,
and between twenty-live and thirty dollars
stolen therefrom. The thief raised a window
and entered the house.
Buggies, &c.—Our enterprising townsman,
M. Shetter, has employed a superior work
man, and is prepared to build and complete
line Buggies, in addition to Blacksmithing and
Wagon making. Success to industry and
home enterprise.
-«-<- 'N
Male and Female Academies at Des
Arc, &c.—There is nothing that holds out such
inducements to the parent and guardian to
settle at a particular point, as the fact of good
schools having been established thereat, or
being easy of access. True, Miss Black and
Mr. Pi;:;:;'.’ li-i.c j,iveu indubitable evidence of
their superior capacity to teach, and their
schools, as also, that of Mrs. Harris, have
been conducted in a manner satisfactory to
their patrons, and to the citizens of Des Arc
and vicinity, generally.
Preparatory schools will always be sustain
ed by every community that has a proper re
gard for the rising generation. But there is a
higher aim that should stimulate the people
of Des Arc, especially those who are engaged
in mercantile pursuits and the mechanic arts,
as well as those who are owners of town pro
perty.
The sum of S5000 expended for the erection
of a Male Academy building, and $5000 lor a
Female Academy building, will pay those
making the subscription better than any other
public investment that can be mentioned. To
say nothing of the advantage to our own sons
and daughters, we attract from every point
• of the compass a mass of students who, with
their parents and guardians, will expend^hous
unds in our midst. The twenty odd business
houses in Des Arc are able, within themselves,
to raise this amount in the next thirty days,
and the buildings can be erected in time for
the spring session of 1860.
Will those interested take this important
subject into consideration ? Already our near
neighbors are outstripping us in the erection
I of edifices for High Schools and Academies.
Shall we lie dormant and permit ourselves to
be outstripped in snch noble and profitable en
Iterpnses t
Des Arc has thus far prospered, in every
point of view, from her fine natural location.
There is not a public improvement (church
buildings excepted) that has as yet taxed the
pockets or energies of her people. The time
is near at hand when she must step forward
and aid in the erection of Academies—the im
provement of thoroughfares—grade and pave
her streets, and with a liberal hand show un
mistakable evidence of progress, in other things
than that of erecting fine business houses, and
the display of wares and merchandise ; or
when it is too late her people will discover
that their selfishness has prevented an increase
of business, and produced a stand still or a
I falling off in the varied avocations of her pco
; pie.
It is full time that a move was made—“ de
lays are dangerous”—our own interests and
honor demand it. Who will be the first
among our wealthy citizens to offer a liberal
sum towards the erection of Academy build
ings ?

STEAMER RETURN SUNK.
BOAT A TOTAL LOSS — NO LIVES
LOST-BOOKS, PAPERS AND BAG
GAGE SAVED.
The Memphis, White and Little Red river
packet Return, Capt. Pete Fleming, on her
downward trip, bound for Memphis, struck a
snag yesterday (Wednesday) morning, about
9 o’clock, some three hundred yards above the
first point above Devall’s Bluff—thirty-five
miles below Des Arc. She struck on the star
board bow, nearly under the steps. The snag
made no break, but was entirely out of sight.
Tire boat sunk in ten minutes, and lays near
the right hand shore, descending, bow up
stream, her stern in 25 feet water and bow in
9 feet. The boilers are supposed to have
rolled overboard as the boat careened over as
she sunk, and they could not be found by
sounding. The boat is a total loss.
The passengers—some fifty in number—
together with the crew, were all saved. The
passengers saved their baggage. The books
and papers, with every thing in the clerk’s
office, were also saved.
The Return was owned by Capt. J. Riley
Jones, and this was her second season in the
Memphis and White river trade. She was
valued at $0000. No insurance.
She had a light freight—fifty sacks of corn,
and fifty-one head of hogs. The hogs swam
ashore.
The Return has been the most punctual
steamer that ever traversed the waters of White
river in the Memphis trade. She has lost but
few trips since she came into the trade in Oc
tober 1857.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
In addition to the foregoing, we learn from
Capt. J. P. Booker, clerk of the Return, who
came up on the Wm. H. Langley, on Friday, '
and remained here until Sunday morning, that
tne coat will prove almost an enure loss. A .
portion of her doors, blinds, furniture, Ac.,
has been saved, and the crew remained with I
the wreck, and are saving everything in their
power.
At the time the boat struck the snag, the (
officers promptly warned the passengers that I
■^he was sinking, and aided the ladies and
children ashore. To their coolness and good J
management are the passengers indebted not .
only for their lives, but also in saving their (
baggage.
Lemuel
serves great credit. He promptly raised his
levers and let off the steam. The snag must (
have torn one side of her bottom out, as the (
engineer, plainly saw his doctor raise some J
18 inches, and the deck raise and fall a3 the
snag raked aft. (
Capt. Booker saved the papers and money ]
from the safe by depositing them in a carpet I
bag which he happened to have at hand.
One passenger, a physician, who was return- '
ing to Tennessee, on a “special visit” was
laying in his berth suffering with a chill,
striking the snag knocked him out of his 1
berth, and ’tis said his chill stopped then and 1
there—after getting ashore, through sundry
efforts and ejaculations, he took a skiff for |
Clarendon, intending to cross to Madison by
stage—but here he also was again “knocked,” J
for the coach had left several hours before.
His sufferings are said to have been more “in
tense” than any other one of the passengers.
As the boat sunk she careened to one side, ,
showing one half of her bottom, and her boil
ers rolled off into some forty feet water—the
chimneys alsd then fell overboard.
Devall’s Bluff, July 28, 1859. ]
At a called meeting of the passengers and ]
officers of the ill fated steamer Return, M. t
firidlev was called to the chair, and J. M. ^
Blackwell appointed secretary: the following
preamble and resolutions. were unanimously
adopted :

New York, July 25.—The steamship
North Briton arrived at Farther Point, C.
E., to-day. She left Liverpool on Wednes
day the 13th instant, and brings advices
four days later than those recieved by the
steamer Africa.
The advices of the steamship Anglo
Saxon reached Liverpool on the ilth iust.
The following is the translation of the
pence dispatch from the Emperor Napo
leon to the Empress Eugenia :
Headquarters of the Army,)
Vai.leqa, July 11. $
A treaty of peace has been signed between
the Emperor of Austria and myself on the fol
lowing basis: The Italian Confederacy is to
be under the Honorary Presidency of the
Pone. The Emperor of Austria concedes his
rights in Lombardy to the Emperor of the
French, who transfers the l ights to the King
of Sardinia. The Emperor of Austria pre
serves Venice, but she will form an integral
part of the Italian Confederacy.
[Signed.] Napoleon.
The Paris Moniteur announced that the
great neutral powers exchanged commu
nications with the belligerent powers of
fering their mediation, but their proposals
were unsuccessful until the French fleet
was about commencing hostilities against
Venice, and the conflict before Verona
was imminent, when the Emperor Na
poleon, finding that the Emperor of Aus
ria was willing, concluded an armistice.
Both the Emperors had an interview on
he 11th instant at Villa-Franca. A tele
graphic dispatch from Turin says: The
emperor lvapoieun nas lasuru a uuuciuj
'rom Vallegio, announcing the armistice
tnd congratulating his troops on their ex
rloits. He announced his immediate de
tarture for Paris. He leaves the Provi
ional command of the army with Mar
hal Vaillant. Some authorities say the
irmislice was effected through the influence
if England, and others say it was effected
iy Prussia.
A telegraphic dispatch from Verona
ays : The armistice was concluded only
fter repeated requests from the French,
nd after Austria had obtained all she ask
d for.
It was reported that M. Kossuth would
iropose a monarchial government for
lungray.
The London News says: The hopes
■nd expectations of Italy have been de
eived. History will call the Emperor
Sapoleon to account for making war on
alse pretenses, and signing a mock and
elfish peace, that leaves Austria impreg
tably fortified in the heart of Northern
taly, and commits the center of Italy to
he patronage of the Pope.
The Loudon Post contends that the
-*ope is deprived of the substance, but re
ams a shadow of surpremacy.
The London Times says:
“ France has spent fifty million pounds
ind sacrificed fifty thousand men, only
o give Milan a Piedmontese master,
ind to establish the Pope in a tem
lorary dignity even beyond his imagina
ion.”
England.—The announcement of
lence was received by prolonged cheers,
10th in the House of Lords and the House
if Commons.
ARRIVAL OF THE EUftOPA.
L'liree Days Later from Europe.
Advance in Colton—Treaty of Peace
Confirmed—Resignation of the Sar
dinian Ministry.
New York, July 27.—The steamship
Curopa arrived at Halifax to day, with
jiverpool advices of the 16th inst., three
lays later than those received by the
*forth Briton.
All IjUUIHlcB ui uuuuu wave auvaut/uu ui
irice from id. to b d.
The treaty of peace, which was signed
m the 11th inst., by the contending pow
rs, has been fully confirmed ; but no far
her particulars have transpired, beyond
he fact that the Princes of Tuscany and
llodena have returned to their respective
ta,tes. '
The result of the treaty is generally
distrusted in England.
The Emperor Napoleon, at the latest
ccounts, was on his way to Paris.
The Sardinian ministry has resigned,
nd Count Arez has been charged with
he formation of a new cabinet.
The Emperor of the French was ex
acted to reach Paris on the 18th inst.,
vhen further particulars of the treaty of
ieace would probably be divulged.
In an address to his soldiers, Napoleon
ays: “ A treaty of peace was concluded,
>ecause the contest was about to assume
iroportions no longer in keeping with the
nteresls France had in the war.”
The Emperor of Austria was on his
vay to Vienna. In a general order of the
lay, he says: “I yielded to my uufavor
ible political situation, because my natural
lilies did noi come to my assistance as I
ixpected.”
It is reported that Count Cavour re
igned on account of the terms of peace
ieing unsatisfactory.
Letters from Paris speak of discontent
imong the people, concerning the terms
if peace. The Siecle objects to permitting
Austrian influence still to remain in Italy,
md demands the expulsion of the Italian
ninces who are confederates of Austria.
Napoleon is to proceed directly to Saint
31oud, postponing his official entrance
nto Paris until he makes it the head
juartersof the army.
The King of Sardinia and Napoleon
mtered Turin on the 15th inst., amid the
mthusiastic plaudits of the people.
A universal amnesty is one ol the con
litions of the treaty of peace. It is stated
hat unfriendly feelings exist between Vic
or Emanuel and Napoleon. The former
ias issued a proclamation to the Lombards,
tnnouncing their annexation to Sardinia,
■le entered Milan on the 13th inst., amid
he enthusiastic plaudits of the people.
It was reported that Napoleon and Eu
genie would visit Vienna. It was also re
ported that the French army had com
menced to countermarch.
Cardinal Antonelli will probably be
dismissed. Gen. Garibaldi was about to
issue a proclamation. It was thought
doubtful whether he would lay down his
arms. The Pope has notified Napoleon
of his determination to demand the armed
intervention of Catholic powers.
In the House of Commons, in England,
the bill abolishing the Church rates passed
to a second reading, by a vote of 2G2
against 193.
Lord John Russell, in answering a reso
lution, said that nothing could be known
about the treaty of peace until Napoleon’s
return to Paris. Lord Graham called the
attention of the Government to the formi
dable French fleets.
" Orange’’ riots have occurred in various
parts of Ireland.
It was reported in Paris, on the 15th of
July, that there is great agitation at Milan.
Troubles have arisen in Venice, and Flo
rence is disturbed.
The Parisian populace manifest great
indignation against Napoleon, for his fail
ure to fulfill his promises in regard to
Italy.
The bullion in the Bank of France has
decreased more than 11,000,000 francs.
Switzerland has ordered a disbandment
of her troops.
The Prussian troops, which were on the
march, have been ordered to halt.

Cotton.—Since the receipt of the news of
the ratification of peace in Europe, there has
been some inquiry for Cotton in our market,
and during the last two days 350 bales have
been sold, at prices varying from 84 to 12c.
The higher priced bales were generally se
lected ; the greater part of the quantity sold
was of the lower qualities; most of the stock
remaining on hand, about 1200 bales, is of
the latter description. It is presumed that
