pose Of carrying into effect the suggestions
of the committee appointed by the Rail
road meeting at Boston, Texas, recommend
ing the holding Of Convention at Little

missioners in behalf Of the Arkansas Cen
tral Railroad Company have called q prima-
ry meeting Of the citizens Of Pulaski coun-
ty, to take the matter into consideration,
and to make any arrangements that may be
deemed necessary. We published the ad-
dress of the Texas committee in cur last IS
sue, and with a view of promoting the OBJ
iect therein proposed, and securing full
representation, we would suggest that prl-
mary meetings be held in every county on,
or adjacent to, the proposed route, fer the
purpose Of selecting delegates. Every coun-
ty should be fully represented, and every
exertion should be made to secure the COM
pIetion Of the road from Memphis to Full
ton, to be extended through Northern Tex
as in the direction Of the Pacific.
tt viii be seen by reference to our Con
gressional summary, that the bill donating
alternate sections Of land to this route has
passed third reading IN the Senate,
and there is now no doubt Of its final
adoption Now is the time to strike,
now is the tide in our Affairs. South Ar
kansas has deep interest in this route,
and should be fully represented in the pro-
posed Convention We would, therefore,
suggest that meeting OF the citizens OF
Hampstead be held at the Court House In
this place, on the first day OF our next Cir
cult court-l0th of May-for the purpose
Of selecting delegates, and We trust every

trapped, will be likely TO guard them against
all such wrongs for the future.
They have no complaints to make Of the
treatment received at the hands of the
Spanish authorities. All of them, we are
told, are sadly in need of assistance, and we

Kossuth's mission to the West appears to
have been quite failure. 1t IS we'll known
that he was disappointed with the small
amount Of 'material ad'' he received at
Cincinnati and Louisville at Saint Louis
where he expected much, it seems, he was
again disappointed, and SO expressed HIM
self The St Louis Times, III noticing the
great meeting there in honor OF Kossuth,
says:
Unless we are greatly deceived, the en-
thusiasm alone will be the only considera-
ton the Hungarian will receive for his visit
to Saint Louis, for it is fact that is useless
to be concealed, that the great mass Of
cur citizens do not approve Of the fatal doc
trines of the distinguished agitator, and we
are credibly informed, that he has already
expressed his dissatisfaction to one Or more
of the members Of the committee
The Times remarks that the tide Of en-
thusiasm set strong in Kossuth's favor at the
North, and probably excited hopes that he
thought would certainly be realized, but his
progress to the West and South, has already
opened his eyes, and the further he advances,
he will find Southern hearts alive TO every
instinct and feeling of patriotism, but with
cooler heads than they have been given
credit for, who viii doubtless pay HIM every
attention, but viii never commit themselves
to bis dangerous doctrines, or compromise
the time-honored principles Of their fathers
