Lines on the Death of De Soto.
BY ELIZABETH M.VRV AI,M«Uft«.
••The corp«» i.f JJe Soto, wrapped in a
mantle, and ,n 'he stillness of midnight. Was
silently -unit in the Mississippi. Thus the
discoverer of the Mississippi slept beneath its
waters. Hr hint crossed the continent in
search of trofd." sa-v* the eloquent .uul learn
ed Banc 'ft. "aiiii d . found nothing so re*
markable rut his &urmt place."
They sank hint down at dead of night
Tn tbedcep fast-whelming tide :
Silently, secretly, m they ought, -
And with none to weep beside.
And who is be with so wide a gryve
.Vs ii.yan.dark river'sBcil;
That in death no fund lament migh£ haw.
Xo prayer be o-'er him said?
‘Tis he whose proud adventurous sold
Was ’he first to trace the sourco.
Of that broad flood that so soon should roll
O’er his own unshTomied corse.
There sleepsdie the long soundderp of death,
Of spirit so dark but brave,
Meet offering, him of the daring breath.
Far the girrnt stream to lave!
And meet was the death for one so bent
Upon deeds of blood and war ;
Unfired by the patriot’s pure intent,
Or lit on by mercy's star.
Sweep onward, ye mighty w aters sweep,
la vour ever-rapid flow j
Little reck any he lies in sleep
In your eavetned vaults below.
F ir no bright halo is round bis tame.
Who his standard reared for gojd.
Who first to these desert region* c;uu»,
With the schemes as fierce as cold.
Lo, the murdered Indians names rise
Oti the south winds’ moaning sigh;
And the lurid flash that rent the skies
Saw the haughty Spaniard die.
Speed on, O. broad and majestic flood 1
Could yon wash from off that, brow
The stain of the thirst of goffl and blood,
Ami leave but Ilia-virtues glow.
So at that tremendous, awful day.
When the bonds of death be riven,
May nought of vicoKin his.high,mien stay,
But a holy light lie given.
Sweep onward, ye mighty waters nv»»p
In your ever-rapid flow.:
Calm let him lie in the dreamless sleep
In your eavern’d vaults below.

A correspondent of the .Memphis Ap
peal thus spenks-of our Slate and its re
sources:
It is gratifying to the people of Arkan
sas to know that, not wiihstaudihg" the cal
umnies that have been heaped upon the
reputation of that State, she is using to a
place of importantJe among the sisterhood
of Stater. Her climate and soil are well
adapted to tlie raising of cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, bailey, rye, hemp, tobacco,
and almost every thing else that Can he
cultivated with success in the neighboring
Stales.
Of course, cotton-is raised most success
fully in the Southern portion of the State,
and along the Arkansas river. Wheal
grows best in the Northern part. Corn
grows finely where it is planted and cul
tivated.
Few countries have proved to he better
for apples and peaches than Arkansas.
Let any mart take the map of Arkansas
and look at its geographical features, and
he will see at a glarrte that-nature has
given it remarkable advantage?. It is
neither too cold nor loo hot. The eastern
boundary is washed by the great “Father
of Waters;" Red river pusses through the
south-west; the Arkansas runs almost di
agonally through the'State, atfbrdTng na
vigation to the best cotton region on the
face of the earth. Halt way lie tween
Red river and the Mississippi, in the
Southern part of t he State, is the Ouachita,
not inferior as it respects navigation to any
other stream of its size. Half way l>e
tween the Arkansas river and the Mis
sissippi, is found Waite river,- with per- j
petuul navigation, traversing in its serpen-!
tine course a most fertile and interesting
country. Besides these there are other
smaller streams in vacuus parts of the j
States, affording navigation and water !

The writer has spent many years in Ar- !
kansas and traveled over almost, the- whole i
State, and claims, .to know of fiis .<\V» per- i
sonal knowledge all that he here utfirms in
litis helm if. His lot is east elsewhere, and t
in ail probability lie will1 never again re- !
side west of the Mississippi. Still, bis in
terest in Arkansas is unabated.
In tningtint! recently with the people of
Middle Tennessee, many inquiries were .
made dT me concerning Arkansas. Hun-j
dreds are selling out and aiming to settle ;
somewhere West. One gentiihnon, an ac- i
quumtance of mine, sold his homestead ;
of 500 or 800 acres; lying in Marshall
county, at 537 per.acre, and entertained,a j
notion of emigrating u Arkansas, hut his |
wile was fearful that she would find so- i
eiety not very good, no, preaching, no good '
schools, etc., and- she prevailed upon him
to purchase hi Maury county, in a hilly. I
rocky region, where he had'to pay 843 an :
aerg. With the money ho obtained for j
his tend, he could have bought an immen-!
sc quantity of land in Arkansas, as good i
as bis ever was—land dial will soon he
valued as high as- that he sold.
Society is as good in Arkansas as it is ,
in Tennessee, or any where else. The
people are as moral, 'hospitable, and as in- ,
lelligenl. as any other people. Schools, i
too, if not as numerous., a re generally bet
ter supported than Uwy are in Tennessee,
and as much deserving support. Yet there
are scores ot people in the populous parts
of the old States, who are paying from 82
to 84 per acre as rent, fearful m go to Ar
kansas, lest they should tail ia among can
nibals, or heathens at least,
