ISthe Recent Rains—Ocr Streets. Pave
iENTS, Steamboat Landing, etc.—The late
j»i,„ have rendered our streets very uncom
fortable for pedestrians, and the “small
|ir, u;nt’’ of pavements give but occasional
jell, f to tbe “ waders through mud and water.”
g;i, the greatest disadvantage is the Steamboat
jjndtng—which, like our streets, is in truth a
ill race to the town. Unless something is
dc i. within the next six weeks, it will be
worse than folly to attempt to improve the
Landing until next summer. Every one who
U cognizant of the facts, knows that a majority
of tbe present Board of Aldermen of the town
w,. to blame for the horrible condition of the
■ ireeta, pavements, and steamboat landing.
A, i remedy for existing wrongs, we propose
jjja; they either resign their places or do some
thing toward public improvements. The Town
Tnusurer is a member of the Board, and he
jiould either resign his position as Treasurer
or Alderman, and the vacancy now existing
Id bo Board should be filled without delay,
f!. people are refusing to pay their taxes-for
Ur present corporate year, as they are well
sw.,-e that hundreds of dollars are now in the
treasurer’s hands, unappropriated, for the
keeping of which he receives two-and-a-half
jSr cent., while others offered to take care of
lie public funds without charge. The present
^ftmbers of the Board of Aldermen are G. W.
jM.iiir.N-. J. A. Frith, and A. S. Erwin.
tl re is a vacancy to be filled, created by the
rjjsignation of N. H. Burk.
HThr people demand, as is their right, that
tjj public money should be used for public
pc . uses; and as the corporate authorities
have on hand, and in available means, near
three thousand dollars, why, in the name of
jit: re and the public good, do they not ex
pei , at least th/larger portion of it, on our
it- As and the steamboat landing?
Hjust'.ce to Alderman Erwin requires that
#p hould state that he has expressed himself
fev,.ruble to improving the streets and landing.
L the vacancy in the Board be filled by a
giiblie-spiiitcd man, and something may yet
fedone. this year, to redeem Des Arc from
Biu-dy streets, a miry landing, and “sloshy”
pr.. meiits. “ Let it he did,”
1 ST A gentleman residing in Centre town- I
A-p, recently started on a hunting excursion,
|arly one morning. He was successful in his
Biorting exercise, beyond his most sanguine
§x|.rotations. Ere day had fully dawned, he
Act a turkey before the bird had left its roost,
|r,.i found three racoons on the same tree—
fen of which he killed. The third ’coon cs
Cipcd, his two “iistes” each mistaking the
other for the ’coon. To cap the climax, the
tree proved to be bountifully supplied with
wil l honey, which, with the bees, was secured
fey the *•' lucky hunter.”

Saint Loris, Ang. 12.—The steamer Kate
Howard sunk in the Missouri river, yesterday
evening, below Jefferson City. She had on
board one hundred and sixty passengers, and a
valuable cargo. There was no loss of life ;
but the boat and cargo will prove an almost
total loss.
The Grand Result.
The New York Express thus sums up
the “net results” of the late war in Europe:
1. The treaties of 1815 are annulled.
2. The practice of consulting the Five
Powers as to questions of War and Peace,
and territorial arrangements, is broken up.
3. Sardinia gains an exhausted prov
ince, menaced perpetually on three sides,
and requiring for its protection a force
beyond her means to maintain.
4. The friends ofSardinia get forgive
ness for manifesting their friendship, and
the privilege of returning to the dominion
of tyrants, whom the events of the past
ninety days are supposed to have made
honest, wise, merciful and just.
5. Austria loses one disaffected prov
ince, but keeps the power of taking it
again; keeps the control of the Adriatic;
is confirmed in the possession of Venetia
and Hungary; and acquires a controlling
influence over the whole of the Italian
peninsula, Sardinia included.
6. France gets military reputation,
which she does not need, at the expense
of resources which she does.
7. Louis Napoleon gains military re
nown.
He loses his reputation for tenacity of
purpose—for faithful adherence to his en
gagements, and for foresight and the pres
tige of unvarying success.
He has converted an enthusiastic friend
into a sullen dependent; he has made Ital
ians, Hungarians and North Germans,
his deadly enemies, and deprived himself
of the aid of the Liberals in any future
strnggle.
He lias offended England, and inspired
her with distrust; and he now stands alone;
feared by some, hated and cursed by many
and loved and trusted by none.
His uncle broke faith with the bride of
his youth to win the friendship of Austria;
and faithful to the precedent, the nephew
for the same bribe sacrifices the iove ol
Italy.
St. Helena, too, may have a counter
part.
-0- -0 -0
One Good Result.—The expulsion of
the Austrians from Lombardy has resulted
in one benefit, at least, to the cause of
liberal principles. One of the first acts of
the new government has been to proclaim
religious freedom in the emancipated states
This is certainly an event that will go far
to reconcile a large portion of the libera!
worm to the unsaustaciory conclusion 01
the war. It is something gained, indeed,
when in a country inhabited by two mil
lions of people—where hitherto the right
of religious worship and assemblage, the
establishment of churches and schools has
been denied to the professors of all other
religions but one—where the most rigo
rous ideas of religious intolerance and ex
clusiveness have been enforced and main
tained by all the power of one of the great
est nations of the world—the idea of free
conscience and worship is at last inaagu
rated and established. To render this
achievement the more glorious and valua
ble, the credit and honor ol it are due to o
Catholic government and people. There
has been no interference on the part o
those in whose favor this reform has beer
accomplished. No Anti-Catholic powei
of the people has had any part in thii
contest. It is purely a triumph of truth
principle and liberalism, and as such shouh
elicit the applause and gratulations of m«t
of progress and liberal ideas all over tin
world.—[New Orleans Delta.

MORE.
Nf.w York. August 12—The steamship

She sailed from Liverpool to New York on the

Liverpool, August, 4.—Cotton—The sale?
of three days amount to lO.OOObales,of which

porters took 2.500 bales. The market general
ly closed quiet and steady at the following

favorable, the market generally closed quiet
and firm.

a r., j:*.. 1 r.__.:i
lions sterling is announced.

ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE PER
STEAMSHIP ARABIA.
New York, August, 12.—The following is
in addition to the summary of the advices re
ceived by the steamship Arabia.

ori the 29th ult., Mr, Ten Broeck’s American
horse Starke won the Bentwick Imperial
stakes—one thousand sovereigns. Prioress
came in third. Fifteen horses were runing.
Mr. Ten Broeck won twenty-five thousand
pounds on the Goodwood races. His colt Um
pire won the Nursery stakes.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Aug. 9.—The antagonism of
the laws of 1818 and those of 1820, the former
prescribing fines and imprisonment and the
latter death for engaging, aiding or abetting
in the importation of Afi icans into the United
States, will probably cause the question to be
brought before the United States Supreme
| Court.
LETTER FROM HON. S. A. DOUGLAS.
Washington, August 8.—Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas has written a letter to tlje Hon.
John L. Peyton, of Stanton, Virginia, in which
he takes the ground that there should be no
difference in the degree of protection to na
tive, or naturalized citizens. He says he is
opposed to the re-opening of the African slave
trade, because the abrogation thereof is one of
the compromises wiiereby the Constitution
was adopted
LANDING OF A CARGO OF AFRICANS.
Washington, Aug. 8.—The United States
Marshal says that a cargo of six hundred
Africans has been landed on the Florida coast,
near Smyrna. After the landing of the cargo,
the vessel was fired and abandoned.
--
RELIGIOUS ITEMS &c.
-Rev. Thomas L. Grace, of Mem
phis, Tenn., Roman Catholic Bishop of
Minnesota, arrived at St. Paul on the 29th
ult., and was escorted by the Catholic cit
izens to the Cathedral.
No Revivals.—The Nashville Chris
tian Advocate says: only a few revivals
have been reported lor the present
year. How is this? Wefear the Church
forgets the word of promise, “Try me
and prove me, see if I will not pour you
out a blessing.”
Episcopal Biitiiors to be Consecra
ted.—There are now four Bishops elect
to be consecrated at the General Conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
l. n L..lrl i, Avt ( \ oh/iv »i R iplimnnil Vn
viz: Rev. Dr. Odenheiiner, for New Jer
sey; Rev. Dr. Bedell, Assistant Bishop
for Ohio; Rev. Dr. Gregg, for Texas; and
Rev. Mr. Whipple, for Minnesota.
A Missionary Governor.—Gover
nor Wright of [Indiana, U. S. Minister al
Berlin, rents a church for Protestant ser
vice in English, conducts a Bible class
himself, and leads in meeting when then
is no preacher. The Governor is a re
markably polite and intelligent gentlernar
and a Methodist.
-An exchange says that the Chi
nese have a temple in San Francisco whicl
cost $20,000. and have imported ai
idol from China at a cost of $30,000. I
is the image of a man who figured in Chi
na three hundred years ago, and was i
great statesman and warrior, as one said
“like your Washington.” The only ef
forts in California to christianize the Chi
nese are by the Methodists at Sacramento
The law prohibiting Chinamen from com
ing to the stute is pronounced unconstitu
tional, and their number, now sixty thou
sand, is rapidly increasing.
* -A letter from Florence in the Prov
L idence Journal, July 11. says; “Th
Pope’s edict of excommunication,launche
' against his rebellious children, has reache
’ at Milan an odd response. The effigie
• of his Holiness and Cardinal Antonel
t were burnt in the streets of the city, an
the young men lighted their cigars wit
•, the profane fire.”
An Indignant Clergyman.—A Phi
adelphia clergyman, the Rev. J. Chan
ebrs, is very indignant with the newsps
s pers for saying that he rode home froi
s his church on a Sabbath day. Listen i
his mild denial:
- In the more than thirty-four years of in
ministry in this city, 1 defy any man wl;
3 has any respect for himself or the slighte
0! regard for truth, to say I ever entered
,, | carriage to ride home from my church.
r j therefore charge the author of the abot
i.! statement as guilty of a willful and rtu
| licious falsehood.
