 biR. BearRAN ND-I see by your last paper that Governor PoPE has returned at last, after an absence, believe, of more than SIX months. hear ii said that he intends leaving his Plantation again shortly, to spend the sammer in Kentucky. Now, l do not know whether this rumor Is true, but nevertheless, ii is a flying report in these parts. This is bad season, Mr. Rertrand. for an @versser to be absent from his plantation; and would advise him to stay where he IS, and attend to the hands, some of whom, are getting very unruly and are not so easily managed by the Deputy 0Vorseer and besides, anothersix month 5 trip might prove dangerous; and we are 10th to part with man who has conferred so much honor on this Territory by his condesending to become its Governor- and whose dignity was at first insulted by tho bare idea, and whose appointment " as as unexpected as though it had " dropped from the clouds" I am afraid he might be sUpplanted by an Overseer not quite so smart, and one who would not think the people of Arkansas peculiarly blessed by having so great man to rule over them, one who would be content to stay at home, and not aspire to Foreign .uissioa.
 
 occasionally paying visit to his friends, but to be eternally absent is quite proyok- ing. II is well known tiat during the fast session of Congress, Gov. PoPE applied to the President for an invitation from him to visit the Seat of Government, to assist our Representative, Col. SEVER, in some matt ters of importance to be laid before Con. gress; which invitation, he failed to re- ceive. The President, l suppose, thought our Delegate stuff ciently competent to dis charge any duty which might be entrusted to him by the people-and so ! thought Nevertheless, Goy. PopE, was determined to visit Washington City, and did so.- Whether he was of any service to Colonel SEVER, or no, the people in these parts have never been informed. At any rate, think 1t would be unwise in His Excel lency to attempt another sir months trip, at least this season. Yours,
