Bridges on the Road from Cache'Rivkr
to Des Arc.—We are pleased to learn that
Wm. Creel. Esq., the contractor, has com
pleted the bridge over Hill Bayou, four miles
east of Des Arc. Movers, travelers, &.c.,
have been crossing over the bridge for several
days. We learn from Mr. Creel that the
bridges across Bear Creek and Colo'chie will
be erected without delay. When these bridges
are completed there will be nothing to prevent
the running of four-horse post-coaches from
Des Arc to Madison. The substantial manner
Mr. Creel is doing his work, we hear highly
spoken of. _ _ ^
Pigeons.—Col. W. W. Wair and Charles
W. Taylor, Esq., have oua thanks for their
kind remembrance in furnishing us with “any
quantity” of Pigeons. These gentlemen, in
aompauy with some eight or ten others, left
town a few days since and remained at the
Pigeon Roost one night. They killed near
three thousand, and one of thecrowd remarked
that “it was rather a bad night to kill them.”
Millions of these annual visitors are daily fly
ing over our town and the adjacent country.
Their principal roost is soma 23 miles south
west of Des Arc. ^
(jy We are pleased to learn that our friends
at Atlanta are about arganizing a Brass Baud.
Prof. Morg. Adams, who is an excellent mu
sician, has been secured as teacher. Prof.
Adams has been sojourning here during the
past two weeks, and we commend him to the
kindly regard of all lovers of vocal and instru
mental music.
Portraits.—Those eminent artists, Mr.
and Mrs Bailey, will be in our town ij^a few
days. A perfect understanding of their art,
and a gentlemanly and ladylike deportment
and demeanor, and a never failing integrity
of purpose, and ability and disposition to
please, cannot otherwise than win for them
the respect and support of an intelligent and
appreciative community. Our citizens should
take advantage of their peculiar talent, and
secure fitting memorials of themselves and
families, to be left behind for those of their
name who live in future years. Go and eee
them. *

j there was no insurrection in any form
whatever on the part of the inhabitants of

lators took 2,500 and exporters 8.000 bales.—
There is an advance of Jd. Middling quali

bales. The market geneially closed steady at

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
The details of the treaty recently signed at

mere amplification of the treaty signed at
Villafranca. The rights of the Duke of Tus
cany and Modena are reserved
The Spanish Government is dissatisfied
wnn urn sausracuon which me jMiiperui or
Morocco offers for the recent outrage commit
ted at Tangiers. and a collision between the
two Governments is considered imminent.
The Sardinian government has issued a de
cree for a loan of 100.000.000 francs.
Paris.—The Paris Pays intimates that Na
ples. Spain, Portugal or Sweden are not likely
to be represented at the projected general
European Peace Congress.
London.—The London Times. Post and
Heralit are averse to England taking part iri
the Peace Congress. The London Post thinks
the Italian question is still very complicated,
arid that the situation of the Emperor Napo
leon is very embarrassing. It also thinks it
certain that Romagne will be attacked by the
troops of the Papal Government, and that at
the first menace of armed intervention in
the Duchies, Geri. Garibaldi’s troops will
eradicate every vestige of Papal rule.
Valencia.—The electrician of the Atlan
tic Cable Telegraph Co. are experimenting at
Valenlia. and it is said in some cases vvilh en
couraging results.
It was rumored at Paris that the Emperor
Napoleon h id refused an audience to a deputa
tion from Bologna, and (hat he grante.d one
to a deputation from the Duchies.
The English journals continue to draw the
attention of the British Government to the
immense naval preparations of France, par
ticularly at Toulon, where twenty-two large
ships of war are being constructed.
It was reported that Marshal Valliant sug
gested to the Emperor Napoleon the occupa
tion of the Duchies by French troops so as to
prevent civil war.
Piedmont.—There is great excitement in
Piedmont in regard to the conditions of the
Zurich treaty. It was reported at Turin that
Neapolitan war ships had been seen off Ro
magna. A Piedmontese squadron has been
ordered into the Adriatic Sea.
Zurich —A telegraph di-patch from Zu
rich, gives the main points of the treaty of
peace recently concluded and signed. Austria
sin renders Lombardy with the exception of
Mantua and Peschiera to the frontier line to
France. France recedes to Piedmont, the
possessions ill Lombardy to be paid by the
new Government. Piedmont is to pay Aus
tria 40.000,000 of florins, and assume 'll ee
fifths of the debt of Monte Lombardy, Venetia
making the debt transfered to Sardinia amount
to 250,(100,000 francs. The Emperor Napole
on and the Emperor of Austria are to assist
in forming a confederation of the Italian
States. Venetia is to he under Austria rule,
and to form a part of the confederation.

Baltimore. Nov 4 —'I'he election returns
from this city are incomplete ; it is supposed
Ihe Amerscan- will have 17,000 majority. The

have a majority in the Senate. The delega
tion to Congress will be unchanged—three
Democrats and three Americans.

New Orleans. Nov. 4.—The loss by the
fire which occurred in the Fourth District

Pierce has declared iiis intention not to be
come a candidate for the Presidency, but ex
presses his preference for Col. Jefferson Davis
of Mississippi.
ADDRESS OF J. R. GIDDINGS.
Phii.adei.phia, Oct. 2R . — Hon. Joshua R.
Giddings, of Ohio, delivered a discourse this
evening at the National Guard’s Hall, on the
subject of the “Harper’s Ferry Insurrection,J:
and John Brown, of Ossawattomie.
Mr. Giddings said—There is at this time ar
unusual excitement in the community. Nine
teen. men, on# week since, invaded the Ole
Dominion, captured two thousand of her in
habitants, and sent consternation througboul
her vast territory, and spread terror amorif
the chivalry (!) of Virginia.
LAWRENCE, STONE & CO.
It is suspicioned that the firm of Lawrence
Stone &. Co.,"advanced Old Brown money t<
aid in the Harper’s Ferry Insurrection.
The South upon the Harper’s Fer
ry Insurrection.—The voice of the
leading organs of public opinion in those
slaveholding Stales which, from proximity
to the seat of the general government, hn
reached us soonest, corresponds entirel;
with the expressed sentiments of distin
guished Southern gentlemen from differ
ent quarters now in Washington.
It is the voice of moderation and o
wisdom, different ns possible from-tha
which the black republican press jg so fon<
of ascribing to those whom they designate
as •' fire-eaters;” but equally different fron
the language of those who would lull th
South into fancied security while the;
would drink its life-blood from its veins.
They very naturally look upon the out
break at Harper’s Ferry as nothing at al
formidable in itself. But equally uatura
is it for even the most sceptical to infe
that the abolition infection has corruptei
what would otherwise have been founi
beautiful and healthy in devotion to th
Constitution and the Union. ~[W ashing
ton Constitution. 22d ult,

Coahoma Democracy.—The Democrac
of Coahoma county (Miss.) held a meeting,
few dars ago. to appoint a delegate to th

the 14th of December. Jefferson Davts wa
dealared 'heir fir-* rboice for Presideji*.

We welcome Parson Carr in
among those who fully appreciate “lovely
woman.” Possessing a kind and generous
nature—a devoted and true Christian, all he
needed was a true wife to enable him to carry
out in letter and spirit the great principles of
that “vocation wherein he hath been called ”
May their lives he that of peace and happiness
and wh»n “life shall sink apace and death
heave in view,” may they land upon the sunny
banks of deliverance. i

NEW PATIffT. #
The onderstgned having .^procured lh» exclu
sive right of mnBiifaetnrfng AM felting to
the et'f/ens of Pialile coonty Arkansas thw
late improvement in plow*, (known as Har
ris’ twelve pointed shovel ®nd turning plow.')
wfcnld inform the planter* of said COBnly list
j he i* prepared to lerelre and fill all orders,
I which Will he done in regular turn, notifying
tile prison Ordering, as soon ae ready.
Thu Is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
hut was gruen up in the South by an expe
rienced workman, on -cbsntifie principle*, to»
suit the wants of the cotton growing commu
nity, and five minutes exarorrration will satisfy
the most credulous, that It fs the neatest, beat,
and in the end, the cheapest plow ever of
fered.
They will be put tip at Atlanta, Prtirie
county, under the superintendence of an e»
Cerienced workman and no means or time wilf
e spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ing to Iho shop, time saved in changing plows
and the smith's bill. In this you have four
distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either.) which yon can change at
pleasure on any part of your farm.no other
tool being required hut your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
nary purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, cither right or left, you have a good
turning half shovel for ridging and hilling and
place a cutter before it and you have an excel
lent new-ground plow: in the third place, put
on both moulds and you have a laige shovel,
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
of cotton rows: and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good •
cotton sweep, all four working hotter than you
can get any common smith to make of wrought
iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which Is made of the best of wrought
plow steel,) five extra points and eleven extra
sharpeuings, over other plows, which is said,
bv some of the most prominent planters ia
North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
crops; and all this for Ifii 50-100, wilhout
[cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop prices I will send them to
Rrownaville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
for $3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $0 per lot.
(J3T Terms invariably cash on delivery of
the plow. C. A. HARRIS.
