 The town of FAYETTEVILLE is beautifully located. It stands on a lofty emineuee. surrounded by an amphitheatrs of hills, agreeaby diversified and crowned to their snmmits with the noble trees of the forest and tine richest verdure presenting to the admriBg eye the most romantic and picturesque scenery in the Union. As Q summer residence il cannot be surpassed; and. for saubrity of climate abundance of spnngs-clear as chrystai--cOOl, re- freshing and psren na aud the geaera health of the inhabitants, the year round, it vie with the most highly favored portions of the Great West. The private mansIons oi the citizens are plain and un- pretending. The public edi6ces are by no mesas remarkable, for the absence of all ornament, and certain dilapidated air, not very agreeable either 10 the eye or the touch, But one can very easily aecOun, for this apparent neglect of externas so common in all new y-settied countries. Time soue will rectify i;. At present. the majority of people are too much engrossed with their own af- fairs aad personal aggrandizemsDt. to trouble them selves with the concerns of others or to take any part in advancing the interests of the State. Con- seqaeny, Arkansas. it regards public enter prise. Is far behind the spirit of the times and needs powerful impulse to quicken her energies and rouse her into acton. Her by-ways and highways, roads navigabse rivers and tributary streams, (and their name is iegien,) arc lamentabie evidences of the truth of my assertion. But more liberal feeling Is showing itself m various secions of the State, partly owing to the energies of the press. which is eserywhere urging upon her citizens the necessity of exerting themselves in this great cause and it Is to be hoped that, long. Arkansas with co,he herself in the Paaoply of her sovereisxn powers enter the lists with her compeers. and boldly and earnestly engage in the great enterprises aud grand improvements of the age. Nothing more is want- ing to make this young Empire State the Fl Dorado of the vest the faires richest, and most deIirhfu coaatry in the world.
