day of May, for the purpose of receiving sub
scriP.ions in stock of the (" Van Buren, and Fay
e,.eyilIe Turnpike Road." We have been assur-
ed that a large amount viii be taken bv the ci,i-
zans Of this place; yet, unless very liberal sub
scription is made, the amount will fall short of
what will be necessary for this object. There
fore we entreat our citizens to walk up to the en-
terPrise, Ike men determined to DO what they pro-
pose. Every citizen Of the county is interested
in the construction of this road, and every one
can subscribe his mite. The money is not de.
manded upon subscribing. and neither is il reouir
ed all at time, and neither will money be re.
qured at all, ia some instances; fos il mus. be re.
collected that time, labor and provisions are mo-
nev, and are as necessary as the stuff itself, and
persons possessing those stores, of individual
wealth, cannot better lay them mp on interest than
IN this road. Therefore, we reiterate our call upon
the people of Crawford, one and all, to subscribe

TAXING FRENCu LEAvE.-When Louis Philippe
King Of the French abdicated, the crown, he was
exceedingly lacon.c. His communication was
as follows: 81 abdicate on the head of my grand
son, the crown which have received from the
French nation.'
THE ARKANSAS DIsrRICr CoURr.-in letter,
from Senator Ashley, dated 22d ult., he informs
us that the District Court bill has not been acted
upon since Col. Sewers amendment, but that he
will bring it up soon the Loan Bill is passed
We have every reliance in Col. Ashey's ex-
ertions in regard to this bill, and although our
new Senator Borland was not occupying a seat in
The Senate, when resolutions of instructions were
unanimously passed in both houses of the Legis-
0ure during lis last session, instructing our SEN
ltors TO use all proper exertions to procure its
passage, we believe that he is in spirit, with the
people, end will contribute his talents and enorgyi
towards the passage of this bill, in compliance
with their wishes, and in accordance to his own
sense ct the utility and propriety of the act.
The Hon. r. w. johnson, our Representative
in Congress, not being the servant of the Legisla-
,ure may not feel himself amerable to its instruc-
tons, yet we trust that his regard for the unani-
nous wish OF the people, expressed through their
representatives in tho Legislature, will prompt
him TO use all necessary exertions 10 procure the
passage of this bill through the House.
1t is said that Mr. Adams had been requested to
denver the address at the laying of the corner
