 Packet S.ip ARKANsAs.-Looking oyer New Orleans paper, few days ago, we were much gratifed to find, that one oi the New York packet ships, bears the naule of OUT T Territory. She is said to be a new and splendid ship.
 There seems to be an idea among oui brethren of the quill, that we in Arkansas arc entirely out of the world. One editor says that Little Rock Is a place somewhat west of sunset. We do aot see the sur here, quite so many times year as in New Orleans, where he rises and sets every day 1t is trae--but when VIC do get a peep al him he rises in the east as he does else where -and could not be mistaken, even by a Yankee, for the moon. We are nei- ther situated in Nova Zembla, in Spitzber- gen, or Ill Symmes' hole--and though we are tolerably near the Rocky Mountains, still we are not exactly on the other side oi them. We take 1t that we are about as far from the Pacific as from the Atlantic Another editor, while ago, thinking that Providence had placed Us too far to the West, beyond his ken, took fancy to bet ter her work, and, like a second Samson, transferred Little Rock and all of us to Ala bama. We were very well satisfied before, and did not go into raptures at the change. Another editor who has received our paper for two months, at the very least, could not be made to believe that there was such Territory as Arkansas, or such town as Little Rock. and directed his letter to St. Louis, as the nearest port. No doubt peo- pie in his country, away to the east, in Yan- kee land, would lock oa ssl agkansian as 2 kind of monster. There might be some- thing made by exhibiting one's self there. We bear all with patience, waiting the time when. if our Territory does not first get lost in the tumult, as little things are apt to do, we shall bring up as a State, at re- spectfnl distance from our gigantic breth- ren, Rhode Island and Delaware.
 In responding to an article which ap- peared in the Gallatiia Union, of the 3lst January, the Gazette very gravely tells its readers, that the Gallatin Editor s' has steer ed clear of the main question, and content ed himself with bespatteringus Biily Wood- aaG, with his abuse aud blockguardism, which we [ Billy again, cannot condescend to answer.
 The main question: we shall have nothing to do with. We do not fancy 1t, for do we like the men who arc engaged i'll its discussion. If they should fight, until, like the Kilkenny cats, nothing but. their tails are left, we should not shed single tear. Our object in these remarks, is merely to show, that, for s,sggate abftse and iose 0aisar uitsperaiion, the Arkansas Gazette is without rival. And we shall make good what We say, without going far ther back for proof, than the Gazette of the 25th ut. in that paper, the following paragraph will be found in a communication signed Tuth--conspicuously inserted un- der the Editorial head, and in the same pa- per, too, Ill which tho Editor so piousLy dis courses about abuse and bIockgua,diSni.
 ssi do not know what this outandish IGallatin Editor has to do with our local concerns. But as he has entered himself the pngiiishc Molyneux, or Negro Bully boxer of his friend, fJaago Fulton I had rather he had eulogIsod bls friends patriot ism as bump, or grinning excrescence on a tree; or, as an Harlequin with an ap- erture from ear to ear 10 scare away the canker worms of society,""
 Where can better sample of s' a6use and biackguardism" be foundl It certainly takes the slime off of any thing of the kind We have ever seen. ile Editor Of :l..e ::l.e Gazette, in our view, gives signs to be one of the most accomplished blackguards of the age. Atew more such paragraphs, will give the finishing touch to his education.
