 Lewisb burgh is beautifully situated on the north bank of the Arkansas river, 45 or 50 miles above the Little Rock, and II IS be- iieyed, mites moro advantages n petnt oi locality of situation and the fertility of the adjacent country, than any town III she Territory. It is situated between the two houTi5hiHg settlements oi feeoeefy below, and Point Remove above, anu a most excellent body of land on the oppo site side of the river, including Esq'r El- lis settlement, and extending sout1-west as far as the prosperous settlement of Fourche la Favre. Northeast from Lew isburgh. for 8 or 10 miles, the country is gently rolling and interspersed with few rich prairies, until you reach the rich bottoms ofcane and cypress, and the north fork of Cadron and sources of Point Re- move; all of which are very fertile and susceptible of extensive settiements.- Further on Tn the same direction, you strike the very fourishing settlement (the most remote in the county) of Little Red river, known by the name of Rich Woods, or New Kentucky. This picturesque, healthy and fertile section of the country Is settling rapidly with an enterprising, industrious class of citizens; who find II greatly to their interest to make Lewis burgh the place of deposite for their i'm ports and exports, being the nearest pos sible point to navigation, which will, with out doubt establis,s trade of mutual and lasting benefit between the two places.
 Lewisburgh is the permanent Seat of Justice for the county of Conway, the cen Ire of business for the immense regions of fine country above mentioned which, with the acknowledged healthiness of the situ- ation, will unite in making 1t place Of noinconsiderable commercial importance.
 Within few hundred yards to the town IS fine bold never-failing chaly ybeate spring, and also spring of pure water building materials of every description are in great abundance on and near the premises, such as clay suitable for brick -an excellent stone quarry, and extensive groves of fine timber.

TOWN OF PINE BLUFF,
(JEFFERSON COU.NTY.l

(JEFFERSOJN COCNIH r.. THyHE Lots in this tow will be offered
 h- for sale at Auction. on Monday. the 10th day ef October next, and succeeding days, on credit of six aud twelve months, the purchaser giving bond, with approved security.
 The locality of this town is on the south side of the Arkansas river, about 50 miles below title Rock, and equi.disiant above the Post of Arkansas, on a handsomely el- evated bluff bank, the first which presents itself in ascending tthis ife5ic river. This bluff and the plain several miles in its rear, are covered with lofty pine of the finest quality, which taken in connexion with large Cypress, few miles above and adjacent te tho river, which IS sur rounded by four or five saw mills, presents, perhaps, the greatest facilities for huiid- ing that can be found west of the Missis- sippi.
 For twenty miles above and below this site, and on both sides of the river, are to be found the most fertile, wide and con tnuous 6otfon.s of land that tIis river fur nishes, principally above high-water mark, IafIording to the cuitivator of tte soil prospect for the growing ofcotton, as well as all the productions necessary for the sustenance and comforts of life, not to be surpassed Tie fiayou Bartbelmi, which runs througi this county parallel to the \ rkansas river, a few mics south of thIs place, IS clothed with rich bottoms sufi cient 10 sustain a dense population. This stream already claims fourishing and in fcreasing settlement.
 Jefferson county is now rapidly inefeas- ing in population, wealth, and enterprise !; and from the fact that 1t contains larger bodies of fertile cotton land than any coun- ty of the same extent in the Territory, in connexion with many other local advanta- ges, twill necessarily give respeotabil- fly and importance 10 it's permanent and central seat of justice, which few other ] locs tions can boast.
 Pine Bluff is as healthy and beautiful situatioH as is to be found on the Arkansas river, and affords every inducement to the mechanic and merchant that any new town in new and promising country could l present.

States, can she reasonably complain, if,
in the exercise of the ordinary and un-
questioned revenue powers ofihe geher-
al government, Congress should repeal
the thirteenth section ofthe revenue law,
and leave her without any ports Of entry
That is both peaceful and rightful
remedy; and that section being once re-
pealed, the whole body Of the revenue
laws goes to enforce the penalty of snug
Cling against any vessels attempting to
trade with these ports. As, then, no
vessels could enter Charleston, there
would be no occasion Of fcolision-no Op-
portunity for the display ofhot blood; and
a few revenue cutters on the look out to
preserve the revenue laws from viola
ton, would maintain the just ascendan-
cy Of the United States; while South
Carolina, deprived Of commerce, shut UP
within herself, with the spectacle before
her eyes of the ports Of neighboring

ARMY MovEMENrs.-We noticed some
time since, says the New-York Courier

S. Troops had been ordered from For
tress Monroe lOld Point Comfort,) to
the Harbor of Charleston, South Caroli-
ma. We now learn that five additional
Companies Of Artillery and two Compa.
MES Of the Fourth Regiment of Infantry,
have been ordered to the same place.
In connection with these hostile move
ments, General ScoTT has been ordered
to Charleston to inspect that post! We
pray that those demonstrations Of energy
may not expedite the evil they are in
tended to avert. The moment is trying
one, and calls for cool heads and honest
hearts, and single rush step may involve
us in difficulties Of the most distressing
character.
