MR. EDIToR-The Message of the Gov ernor of the Territory of Arkansas, has produced little or no comment; 1t is, how ever, pleasing document. The atten- ton of this writer was particularly drawn to that portion of 1t, which recommended cd the propriety of memorializing the Con. gress of the United States for an appropri- alton for road from Helena, to intersect the Memphis and Little Rock road, at the mouth ofCache. For the first lime since she organization of the Government, the Executive of the Territory has done an act ofjustice to section of the Territory long neglected. Heretofore, either a want of information, or an almost culpable Indifference to the true interests of the Territory, and the General Government, has prevented the recommendation of the measure. No one acquainted with the ge- ographical situation of the Territory, will deny that at Helena, the only point ofhigh land in the Territory connected with the interior by rich, level, and measurably dry country, approaches within three hun dred yards Of the Mississippi bank. A knowledge of the country acquired by fre- Inent journeys over 1t, and long resi- dence Tn 1t, has induced the belief, that 1t IS the only point on the Mississippi river, from which road can be advantageousi Y made to Little Rock. At the present time, ii can be easily travelled in three Rays, and this has been the most unusually wet season ever i5riown in Arkansas.-- for a number of years past, even the rainy season of spring has not made it worse than if is at present. OK and horse teams wtth heavy laden wagons and carts, are frequently passing from Helena to within
 thirty miles of Little Rock, with little or no difficulty, except that occasioned by difficulty very unfrequently occurs, and is occasioned by heavy and long continued
 rains. The route now travelled Is neces- sariiy little circuitons, and nothing is hazasded in the assertion, that perfectly good road can be obtained through high, dry country, and the distance be shorten ed twenty miles. No doubt is entertained
 oy those who are well acquainted with the country, as to the practicability or utility of the road. Few citizens of the Territo- Y lave ever imagined that a good road
 could be obtained from Little Rock to the
 'i'ssissipPi river, which would reduce the
 alstance to one buEdred miles, unintor-

rup.ed by overflow or ligi water ,practita- ble and passable at all seasons of the year; because a few only are well ac- quainted with this section of the country. A belief this time pretty generally pre- yaiis, that no great number of the Choc- taws will esnigrate this season. Should this be correct, between this and tlA en- sning fail. the road can be completed. and many confidently believe, that fl would produce an imme nse saving 10 the General GoYernment. to remove the Choctaws by this route. In another point of view, this road is of high importance. Opposite He leht,til Mississippi bottom, sj J :s rsa'., and measurably dry, and almost entirely free from inundation. The oldest settlers of tire country, hunters who have known t t for the last thirty years, are positive in their assurances, that good road can be obtained through the Mississippi bottom. opposite Helena, to the high lands in the Nation. A few years since, a partial sur vey of the route was made by several gen. tlemen, tlfen residing at Helena, who were all convinced of the practica biiity of a road, and marked out the route nearly the whole distance to the highlands. This route has since been, and is now frequent Fly travelled, imperfect as it necessarily must be by the partiality of the survey.-- 1
 l The late Agent to the Choetaws frequent Ely travelled it, and recommended the crossing at Helena 10 be far superiofto c any other crossing on the Mississippi, in the direction to the Southern Sta,es.-- View the road from Little Rock, to Heie- na, in connection with road from there to the Southern States, and to Washing ton City, and it becomes a measure Of great national concernment A a mail route, it would greatly promote the inter- ests of the Territory, by facilitating and expediting communication with the whole North, and the seat of the National Gov ernment. Iothe Territory, 1t must be a subject of all absorbing interest. What wealth and what tide of emigration would immediately set 10 Arkansas, upon the completion of this road! Many of the cap itaiists of the Western States, who are now but barely clearing their expenses, would inn medistely remove to soil more fertile, and cline not less congenial than their own.
 This young and fourishing Territory, would soon gain admission into the Union, Hpoa an equal footing with any of the con federaey. 4 measure Of so much inpor- tanee to the eountryshould receive the sup port of every section of tte Territory, and the high reputation which the present Legislature has already acquired, eombin- ing talent, worth, and integrity, iorbids the idea of opposition to it. You may hear from me again, FIDES.
