Internal alimnrnrrmnni.

We are rejoeed to find 50 many of our citizens becoming awakened to the importance of making internal improvements in Arkansas We hope ere long to find sufficient number of counties combining their quofaS of the internal improve ment fund for tue purpose of constructing road from the interior of the State, to some point on the Mississippi, which will at all seasons afford easy ingress 10 any portion of the country. 4 road of ths character would not only benefit the imnedi- ate ueighborhood through which it might pass, but would add beyond calculation 10 the value of lands and Prodaee in every part of the State. IL IS not nov necessary to enier into discussions abou. the relative merits of Memphis and Helena, IS the terminus of the road on the Mississippi Let us first determine upon the construction ofihe road. and afterwards the pont al which it shall commence on the 'Father of wa;ers," ear be easily fixed.
 We hope the Internal Improvement Commis- sioners will meet Tn a convention and give their prompt and earnest attention to this subject IL IS one of immense importance and great practical utility.
 In connection with this subject. we agree with some of our contemporaries in suggesting that pre- lmnary meetings be held Tn the several counties, m which this matter may be fully canvaSsed before the people. These meetings could elect delegates to a State Internal Improvement convention. or
 instruct their respective commissioners. We-beg
 leave to urge our readers to consider this matter, and let turn to good account the noble donation to Arkansas for the purpose Of niesra: improve meat. The whole south west IS nov awakening to the importance Of constructing roads throughout
 the several States, and the citizens of New Orleans are particularly interested in the completion of such avenues Of commerce in all the country that
 is ,g,5utaFyto 10 the Mississippi. They will no doubt literally encourage any undertaking calculated 10
 increase the trade and commerce of the Crescent city Arkansas should be well represented ln the convention to be held there for the considera- ton of some plans of internal improvements, foz the mutual ani individual benefit of all the states bordering upon the MisSsSipp, river.

Rioomerism extraordinary.

One day last week quite crowd was collected at Judge Smiths office to witness novel trial.- For several days and nights previous couple of the frzil sisterlood had from time to time paraded our principal streets decked out from top to toe in the greatest exiravagances of Bloomerism. They were on triai for nuisance, and the b'hoys had fine opportunity to feast their eyes with minute ex- animation of the costume in all its gay eolors. It is pretty dress and in this instance not unbe- coming nor perhaps inappropriate. The Bloom eEs' were fined by the Justice and ordered to aba,e the nuisance.
