 People in the West are hardly aware of tht immense strides which the East is making in improvement, by means of railroads. We could specify twenty five or thirty, now in progress, or talked of, from Quebec in Cana da, 10 Florida. There is to be one from Cue bee to Portland, in Maine, one from Portland to Boston, through Newburyport--one Is completed from Boston to Worcester. There will be one from Worcester to Albany--and there is one from Albany to Schenectady, which will intersect the great proposed rail road from New York city to Lake Erie.-- There IS one from Boston to Lowell--one pro- posed from New Orleans to Nashville-(tho' that is in the soath-wost. There is one from Baltimore to Washington--one from New Haven, Ct.s to Springfield, Mass, which is to have branches to West Stockbridge, to Hud- son and Albany Even in Vermont there is to be one, from Rutland to Whitehall. There is to be one from Wilmington, Del, to the Susquehannas The three great cities, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, are con- tending for the trade of the West-and line of rail roads will shortly run from each city to the Mississippi, Then will Arkansas in- crease in population, as her resources. are brought into play. We venture to predict that in.twenty years from this day. we, if we are still alive, may jump into locomotive, and travel to Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, or Baltimore, at the rate of fifty miles an hour. Who can calculate what Arkansas, with her inexhaustable mineral country, will then be About that time, we, # we should still be denizen of the world, and yielding the editorial grey goose quill, may write as follows:
 "The new and splendid locomotive Little Rock, will start tomorrow morning, at five o'clock, for Boston.

 The Northern Abolitionists seem to be re- solved to sever the bonds of this Union. X fellow by the name of AMOS DRESSER, a member of an abolition society in Ohio, was caught on the sth inst. at Nashville, distrib- uting incendiary tracts--taken before D com- mittee of vigilance lately established there, found guilty, and dressed to the tune of t'een- ty stripes, well laid on. hnan by the name of BIRNEy is about establishing an abolition paper in Kentucky.
 Would to Heaven our humble paper, here in the wilds of Arkansas, could be beard with 6 voice of thunder in every nook and corner of the Union, bidding these miserable men BEWARE. The South is already mufmuring, and almost ready to to break the bands of the Union, and unless these fanatics abandon their wild schemes, civil war and immeasura- ble misery will be the consequence. Are they not afraid that when the storm comes, 1t may reach them. We cursef were raised in free State-even the old State of Massa- chusetts. Our experience has convinced us that the black slaves of the South are infin- itely better off than the white slaves of the North. They are as well clothed, as well, ay, ten times betterfed--as well treated, and their work equally aa light-and we do know that multtules of them-even the few which we have, would consider 1t their greatest misfortune to be cursed with such freedom as is possessed by the poorest class of the popu- lation in the North.
 We would be understood to refer only to the Abolitionists of the North. 1.-the South ern States themselves, or their people, see fit to abolish slavery, it is another thing If the people Of Arkansas are against slavery, we, for one, say let it be abolished. But we tell these Northern sniscreants, once for alls that we will brook no foreign intermeddling with our rights, our property, and our lives.

A lime tree was planted at Fribourg to eel ebrate the battle of Morat, in 1476. It measured in 1881, 13 feet inches in circum- ference. But there is one still more ancient, and.which at the time of this battle, was eel ebrated for it's age and size. It measured 36 feet in circumference in 1881 when 1t was supposed to be 1230 years old.
 Another lime, at Neustadt, in Wirtemburg, was supposed to be about LAO years old; and in England the yews at Fountaine Abbey, at Crowhurst, in Kent, and at Braburn in Kent, have been set down respectively at 12S0, l45s and 5000 years olds The Baobab of the Cape de Verd Islands, affords still higher presumptive proof of longevity. Adamson found an inscription made by an English tra- veler 300 years before, covered with 500 lig- neous layers, from which. compared with the size of the tree and the growth of some young trees in the neighborhood, he satisfied hiln- self that 1t could not be less than 600O years olds
