The citizeDs of Little Rock were gratI.
 neo few days since. by the presence oi
 lhls justly celebrated individual. He is
 on hIs way from visit to some of the In ulan tribes on our borders, ta the State el New-I ork He acknowledges himself amazed al the fertility of the soil, and the Immense resources of the West. His high est expectations have been far more than realized. He dweils with rapture on the scenery afforded by our southwestern prairleS When entering upon them. he could scarcely, he says, diyest himself Of the belief that he was approaching the mansion of some Enropean nobIeman.- lie was still looking out for the dome of q castle, or the spire of church to rise up- on his view. He expresses full inten- ton, If spared, to revisit these regions 1 Tn ihe approaching spring, when the prai- rles are Tn bloom. Should he favor the world with description from his glowing pen, which is more than probable it will 1 excite emotions of 4nmingIed delight in the bosom of thousands, and unfold im- measureable beauties in nature, which, to the majority of travellers, remain nn- fnotlced and unknowD.
 WAsFINGToH iRvINa has contributed more to elevate the character of the Uni ted States for polite literature, than any otieT Individual. It was he who effeetu- ally slleneed the inquiry often made by q certain class of readers on the other side of the Atlantic Who Yeads on American Book! Those of his works which are written for the eradication of taste, are free from the faults which abound in most works of similar character. In them, 'he eye of piety is not shocked, nor the heart palned by irreyerent and profane elacniations to the Supreme Being, and to Heaven. as IS unhappily the case in regard to most Novels and Souvenirs which faii into the hands of youth, and which con- tribute more to induce the habit of pro. taneness, than ali the vulgar slang of the streets.
 ip sublime and elegant conceptions, in pure and classic diction, Washington Irving Is in many instances not surpassed oy any writer in the English language ne following short extract, though dis mem bered from it's eonnexion, will justify the aboye remark.

MR.

 Enyeloped in the smoke offaction, with out any ostensibIe or patriotic purpuse-- merely wasting our energies ID the feuds Of personalities. Is the battle of Pharsalia agasn to be fought, in this segment of the great circle of political liberty! or are we frecmen. who can calmly exercise free and independent judgment upon pub lie men and public measures4 This is the question to be decided by the people of Arkansas. 4 denunciation has gone forth az ainsi majority of the representatives of the people, in the exercise of danger ous prerogatiye; victim is sought out, and brought to the bar of public opinion His immolation is offered as an atone mept for all the tergiversations and the blood that has been shed in the Territory. But would ask, do the people of A rksn- sas require sacrifice of this kind that E into operation in this land of Christian freedom, and that scape goat shall be offered in one of her citizens, to propiti- al e the transgressioDs ot d whole people
 These arc serious matters. and demand the consideration of all. Let me again ask, who is safe under illis rule of denun- clation, and how are we to know what is l the true test of patriotism, and who has l the chart of exclusive wisdom! To un- derstand these matters, 1t IS certainly ne- cessary 10 the integrity of every individu- al. to proper fufilnent of his duty.
 But candidiy, we the people. do not
 comprehend the motives that govern the
 course of events that are now transpiring
 before our eyes every day, in more fa- vorable light than in the past events.-
 Whilst we would yield to lis ExcelIency
 as much wisdom as 10 any other visitor oi the Territory, we totally deny the right oi his supremacy, and his power to give a private contract of S2O eco of public mo-

Cholera among Hue Emigrating Lidians.- We are happy to learn, that the Cholera
 has considerably abatcd, within the last
 or 10 days, among the Emigrating Indians.
 But few cases now occur The number
 of deaths, we have been unable to learn but, from all the information we can gather, they do not exceed one hundred. Many have fallen victims to their own ob- stinacy-refusing to take medicine, or to avail themselves of that aid, which the medical gentlemen who accompany them were employed to render They cannot be prevailed upon to attend to the first ap- pearance ofthe disease or what is a#ss q the Premonitory symptoms.

TONSISTING Of Anthems, Motetts, Chants,
~ Sentences, &c. original and selected, most OF
which are short, easy of performance, and appro-
prate to the common and various occasions OF
public worship; by Lowell Mason, editor of the
handel & Haydn Society collection of church mu-
sic, choral harmony, &c.
The object has been to supply choirs, at the
lowest possible cost, with large number of inter-
esting, easy and useful anthems, and pieces, cal
culated for public worship, for concerts and pri-
yute practice.
A portion Of the work has been devoted to
chants There is no singing more simple and tru-
" devotional than this and il is to be regretted
that its performance should be so exceedingly lin
ited The plan Of writing out the Chants to mea-
sured notes has been adopted to some extent ,prn-
cipay for the reason that il renders the execution
much easier to choirs uninstructed in this style OF
singing. Could our worshpping assemblnges once
be made to feel the effect of chanting il Is beIlev-
ed that il would soon come into use to very con-
siderable extent.
Economy has been an object-it is believed that
no similar work extant. affords as much useful
matter at so reasonable price. II comes within
the means of every choir to possess it.--Prce liz
