 VTNHE undersigned, as agent for the owners ofFeFs [ 1 the following deSefibed lance iH the State ei Arkansas for sale. The locality aud feTiiiiy Of the | soil make many ef theee lands very desirsble toS aEr,eeitural purposes Most of them were selected sud purchased from the u. S,.lneFs than thirteen years saee. The increasing desnnaa for gocd latds isaacss the of these now io offer them Iof sale.
 The mild and deIightfut ciimate of the Staie og Arkansas, whilst is affords to those whe eRiey tt comfort and pleasure, hpScsiiAFiy favorable e Agrl, cultural pursails ihe numerous ayieahlo streams which traveFss tls various sections oi the State. afford to the citizens of Arkaasss safe and tent channels upon which their surplus products be borne to market. In many parts of the Stsie smaller streams of fs,iiag water afford sites and water power sasiiceat tor miis and maGaIac- turing establishments of the largest class.
 The very abundant crops of cotton, corn, pump kins wheat rye osts beanss peas, grasses, melloas and escaieat yielded by the rich aads in Ar kahsas hen properly cultivated, afford 10 farmers and paaieVs such substantial and rich rewards for their industry. tis good a"ds in ArkshSas only be sufficiently appreciated by thOse who witness the results Ttheir saiiabie culture.
 Apples, pears, griaces, peaches. sprieots plums, cherries, figs, dee1ous grapes Faspberrys. straw berrys &e., &c., produced, by prorr attention,
 
 Most of the lands now 0fefed for sale also afford desirable locations for stock raiscrs:tbs country around and near them prodacing wild grsses. cane and other kinds ol feed ia abundance for the sah- sistence of aay number of horses. cattle, sheep goats and hogs withoat ths expense trouble Of feeding thcntdaTiag summer or winter.
 Whilst these and many other favorable induce n1enis conspire attract enigraats to the State ef Arkaasas, the reesns developments of mineral wealth in some sections of the State have aroused and brought this state capitalists and enterpr- sing men who are drawing fsFth from lhe rich mines, masses of valuable minerals which tend 10 augment the commerce and prosperity of the State.
 In State possessing such natural advantages; many clements of wealth. with rapidly ihcFeas- ing population, industry eRftTgsise and ceptal wal, cause prosperity throughout inc SlHIe which must greatly odesRee ae prices of good tsads In Ar kansas. therefore is kke Rnost facor able tase for obtaining such lands at cheap rates.

coI. Fremont and coI. Neller.

'tol FREMONT has accepted the appointment of ch'ei Of the Mexican boundary survey in the place oi Col. WELLER, removed. ."-- Ezchaaqe paDsy
 Before accepting the appointment, Col Fremont was' as We learn from the eastern papers, notified that Col. Weller would be prescribed. This but ill Sccords wth the assertion that Col. Weller was re- moved on charges which were subsequently ascer. tained to be without foa addition ia truth and that loo. 'u time 10 have couptermanded the removal.
 The treatment ot Col. w, by the present admin. r'fai'on, has been beyond precedent. First, they sohght to haui him down by infamous charges, pre-. isfred by the New York Tribune, and other federal shee'si aud his removal, the world was given tC unaer'tand, was made ia consequence of the truth o' 'h-se charges Scarce had they gone forth ere me proof was at hand. and given to the public tc bsoVe each and every charge made baseIy false = ne charges were then dropped; but he Is still re, moved rom othce by an administration that piedget a' mad no friends te reward or enemies to punish anu ''a' nc removals would be made except for goos cause. Col Weller fought for his country a, Mon 'e'ry' and perhaps the cabinet thinks that hls pa '0''sa Is sufficient cause to justify prescription.
