 The first, great and most important object of any people, State or nation is self pTeservadon;--to adopt such measures as are calculated to advance their own individual interests, so that the measures thus adopted do not infringe interfere with any Of the vested rights of their neighbors.
 Arkansas occupies commanding position among the States of this confederacy, not only in regard to her geographical locality but on account of her great agricultural resources, her mineral wealth, and muItiiudnous water courses. ready to bear upon their swelling bosoms her rich productions tn the markets of the world.
 These resources, in consequence of the great want of an enlightened spirit of enterprise, here toore, upon ;he subject of internal navigation and road improvements, have renamed in great measure. unobserved,-the wealth and general prosperity of the State thereby retarded, and her population circumserbed But noshwlthstandlug all the disadvantages resulting from mal legislation and supinenessS upon the part Of the great masS, the tide of emigration to the State for the last two years, and the continued and increased inaux this fall, tell in language clear and impressive, that as the magnetic needle always points 10 the pole, so will true enterprise dnd its way to the the hidden) resources of wealth.

4 TrIEsaApH TO EuRopE. notice the fact tAst some of the English papers passing their views on the successful connection ofthe Past Anchored Isle" with the continent. by the magnetic wire. are spccuiatiag upon the possibility of establishing teiegraphic communication with our distant shores. The London Athenwum holds the project to be by 10 means chsmencal, but oa the contrary, feasible. IL estimates that the communication could be per fected for half millioa Of doilafs
 "It proposes to carry a single wire across to Ireland, and thence. from some suitable point on the southwest coast. to the nearest convenient spot on the AmeucaR continent. In this way only two thousand mics of wire would be required to croas the Atlantic.
