chased a boat to run in Upper White river ex
clusively, making regular weekly trips from

boat exactly fitted for the trade, and it be
hooves the people of this section to see that
aht* receives that patronage she so justly
merits. Our clever friend, Y. A. Carr, the
inimitable *’ Grindstone.” is in the office, and
will be found to be as jolly a fellow as ever
presided at a desk. Such a boat, and such
oficers, are bound to be popular among the

WTe learn through a private letter from a
passenger on board, that the Oakland failed
to connect with the Admiral at Augusta, last

We suggest to our friends at West Point
that they hold a public meeting and oiler
to BUILD A DECENT Col'RT HoUSE if
the county seat is removed from Searcy
to their pleasant and thriving town.

(public MEETING IN SEARCY IN
RELATION TO THE REMOVAL OF
THE STATE CAPITOL.
On Thursday evening 6th inst., the citizens
of Searcy assembled for the purpose of giv
ing an expression of their views upon the
question of removing the State Capitol of
Arkansas.
The meeting was organized by calling May
or William A. Old, to the Chair, who called
the house to order, and explained the purpose
and object of the meeting; and Will Hicks,
I was requested to act as Secretary. On mo
tion the Chairman appointed A. Travis. J. C.
McCauley, D. S. Tillman and Will Hicks, a
| committee to draft resolutions expressive of
[ the sense of the meeting.
The committee, through their Chairman,
j submitted the following preamble' and res
olutions:
Whereas, It is in contemplation to re
I move the State Capitol of Arkansas to some
more suitable and satisfactory locality; and
Whereas, We believe the advantages of
each suitable locality should be presented to
our State Legislature' for their consideration
before any definite action is had thereon; and
Whereas, We believe the town of Searcy
combines more natural advantages than any
other place in the State, i fiererore ne it
Resolved, That we ilo recommend to our
Legislature this place, Searcy, as the most
suitable point at which said Capitol can be lo
cated; and for the following, among other lea
sons: it is the most central, as well as most
accessible [dace of any other in the State, it
is situated in the healthiest portion of the
State of Arkansas.
And, whereas, the only objection urged
against this place is the fact that the title to
our iandsare in litigation. Jbe it further,
Resolved, That we bind ourselves individ
ually and in mass to secure a sufficient amouni
of lands for the erection of said capitol and
all other necessary public buildings with a
title thereto clear and unincumbered.
Resolved, That we believe the State of
Arkansas is well able to defray the expense of
erecting her Capitol and other public build
ings. and that she is not in need of the pecuni
ary assistance of any one in the matter.
Resolved, That all papers published in the
State of Arkansas be, and they are hereby re
quested to copy the proceedings of this meet
ing.
Which resolutions were unanimously adop
ted. Whereupon, ou motion the meeting ad
journed. W. A. OLD, Cli’n.

The Arrests in Ireland.
A second editiun of the Cork Reporter
announces that on the morning; of the 7th
December, lilteen prisoner, charged with
being members of an illegal society, ar
rived by the Bandon train, under the es
cort of a large body of police. The cap
tured seemed to be all young' men oJ res
pectable position in society. Twelve of
them are from Skibbereen, and three from
Bantry. They are charged with being
members of the Phoenix Society, and the
informations have been sworn against!
them by one of their own body,(the old
story,) a person named Sullivan. The
object of this confederation is said to have
been for the purpose of obtaining an in
vasion of Ireland by American filibusters.
The following dispatch, dated Cork, on
the night of the 7th, gives a few extra
particulars:
“ Fifteen young men were to-day com
mitted to the Cork county jail, on a charge
of being connected with an illegal society,
called the ‘Phoenix Club.’ They are
principally from Skibbereen and its neigh
borhood, and all seem to belong to classes
above the common peasantry, being well
dressed, intelligent looking, and apperent
ly well educated. Their names are,
Murty Downing. Jeremiah Donovan,
Murty Moynehan, Daniel M Carthy,
Jeremiah Driscoll, Eugene M’Cartliy,
Dennis Downing, Timothy Dugan, Pat
rir.L- Dmvnincr. James Stark, I liomas
O'Shea, Wm. O'Brien, Jeremiah Culnane,
Dennis Sullivan, and Timothy M'Carthy.
Three of them are said to be clerks to a
well-known solicitor of high standing in
Skibbereen ; another is a clerk in a brew
ery ; and all of them of some occupation
or pursuit which indicates the possession
of at least a good English education.
What the nature of the evidence against
them is, has not transpired, as whatever
investigation took place has been private,
but there seems to be little doubt that in
the western part of the county of Cork
this illegal club or society counts a great
many members, and the authorities there
have been for the last few months on the
qui vive. It appears, also, that the prison
ers are charged with illegal drilling with
fire-arms, pikes, and other weapons, so
that their designs, however foolish and
insane, must be of a treasonable and
wicked character, and require the exer
cise of energy and vigilance on the part
of the authorities to suppress them before
serious mischief may arise from them. ’
In a letter received on the 4ill inst, from
New York, by a person in Clonmel, the
following ‘startling passage,’ says a local
paper, occurs: “lam sorry to tell you
I will not be able to carry out your sug
gestion to visit the old country with the
Sixty-Ninth Irish Americans, as, owing
to the ‘ liberality’ of the British Govern
ment, so many men carrying arms would
not be allowed to land in Ireland
-----
a serious difficulty has occurred
in the Baptist Church in Jackson, which,
we understand, will result in a law suit for
the Church property. We do not feel at
liberty as journalists, lo meddle in the af
fairs of church difficulties, we presume the
whole subject matter will be laid before
I the public, through the press, by the re
I spective parties to the difficulty.—[West

; who had been manumitted by Mr. David
Jamison, of Shelby county, in this Stale,
reiurned from Ohio, where she was freed,
and desired her former master( Mr. Jami
son) to take her back into his household
as a slave. He was disposed to gratify
her wishes, but desired her to consult an
! attorney. She did so, and John G. Fin
nic, Esq.,filed in her name a petition to
the Chancery Court, setting forth the facts
of her manumission in the Slate of Ohio
—that she had returned to Memphis,
where she preferred to live as a slave with
her old master, than to be free, in any of
the free Stales. She expressed her wish
j in open court, and wus closely examined
by Judge Caruthers, ns to her motives in
returning to bondage. She spoke clearly
and sensibly, saying, that she preferred
being a slave, and remain in Tennessee,
rather than be free in Ohio; that she
wanted a kind master to lake care of her
and provide for her wants. The Court,
thereupon, ordered a decree, in aefordanee
with the prayer of petitioner and the law
of Tennessee.— ^Memphis Appeal 8th

The Lust for Riches.—The grudge with
which most men part with a little pittance for
the noblest nurnoses, is astonishing and hu
rniliatng. Mammon.Mammon, is the gril of the
professing world among us. The love of dis
tinction flows in the channels of wealth, and
thus creates an aristocracy the most corrupt
and corrupting, the most slavish and enslaving
of all aristocracies—the aristocracy of dol
lars. Hence the passion for lucre is the pas
sion of the United States. Men measure their
respectability, not by their deeds of goodness,
but by the svfms of which they are masters.—
[Mason.

A Word to the Afflicted.
The Nervous Tonic is now regarded by all
scientific men to be superior to any prepara
tion ever before presented to suffering humani
ty, as by its corroborating influence on the
system the susceptibility to disease is lessened,
and to those pre-dispoged to repeated attacks
of chills, fever and ague, or any kind of fever
this remedy should by all means be used, and
to those residing in miasmatic districts where
diseases of this character are always inci lent
to tlie climate they should never be without it.
Cholera, Diarrhea, Bloody Flux, etc.,
ETC.—There is no disease that prostrates hu
man beings In so short a time and that renders
the system so unconscious of the remedies
when applied as these, and it therefore be
hooves all persons who value their lives
dearer than anything else remember that “de
lays are dangerous.” As soon as you feel the
slightest symptom of disease call for a bottle
of Sledge’s Cholera or Diarrhea Syrup, one
dose of which if taken in time will relieve
you. Remember, this is no cunningly devised
humbug, as we have the evidence to prove the
fact. All we ask is a fair trial. For coughs,
colds, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, etc.,
use Dr. Sledge’s Hoarhound Pectoral. All the
above are for sale at the Drug Stores and upon
enquiry may be found in all the towns and
villages. See advertisement. sep4
