Arrival of the Cherokee.
L A T T. r M VANA

The steamship Cherokee. Capt. Baxter,
arrived at ar early hour this morning from
New York. ria Havana, having left the lat
ter place on the 4;h inst We are indebted
to her officers for files Of Havana papers Of
the 3D. inst, and for copy Of her list Of
passengers.
We find very little news in the papers
before u. The Dario Of the 3dinst, has
long leader On the Munroe Doctrine, in
which the editor takes q fling at the people
Of this country for their manifest destiny
principles. The writer says "thc Spanish
nation has no Monroe doctrine to sustain in
any of its interpretations, nor annexation.
This veneratod principle is tie balance of
power, which we neither intend to violate
nor see violated by others with indifference.
Spain. in a spirit of conservatism, repels
the idea of conquest as symbol of barbar-
ism, in open contradiction of the spirit of
the age" The local news of the island is
without interest. ". o. Dcita.

GEOLOGICAL CHANGEs.-An English Pc
riod!cal states that Sir Charles Lyen : en-
gagged on new edition Of his Principles
which, among other matters, Is to contain
the SUM Of all We know concerning great
geological changes. In connection with this
subject an interesting point IS raised by Al
fred Taylor, who contends that the sea lev
cl. which is generally taken as the datum
in geologi eal and other scientific calculations,
is BY no means to be considered as perma-
nent. He shows that the solid matters Dis
charged into the sea by rivers would form
a deposit three inches in thickness over tie
bottom in the course Of 10000 years and
consequently raise the level Of the water by
that amount. The Ganges drains 100000
miles, and in 115l years would reduce the
level Of that vast region by one fa0t.-
the Mississippi, which drains 100000.
carries one foot from the soil into the sea in
5000 years. Thus the level of the land
viii be lowered, while that of the sea is
raised; the latter cannot therefore be re-
garded as fixed and permanent in geological
calculations

o. The True Democrat" of the 18th
inst, in an article on the subject of an Ex-
ira Session, says, it has no hopes that the
Legislature, if convened, would order
survey There are no means, it says, in
the Treasury, to defray the expenses Of a
survey. and State Scrip already from ID to
20 per cent. below par, would fall to % or 30
per cent. upon the assembling Of the Legis-
lature, and consequently, the State can rem
der no pecuniary aid whatever.
What an admirable state of affairs is here
presented,-what humiliating acknowledge
ment, coming as it does too, from those
who have had the management and control
of our State affairs ever since we became a
State. What makes it still worse, it is true,
every word of it, and yet those very persons,
high in authority. virtually tell the people
that they do not know their own interests.
and very uuceremonicusly assume to them
selves powers never delegated BY the consti-
tuition When, or by whom was our Gov
crnor instructed to negotiate with the cari
talists who own the Illinois Central Railroad
to extend that road from Cairo through
Arkansas to the Pacific Where does he
find his authority for converting the Legisla-
ture to suit the movements of that company,
so that they may be present at the meeting?
Did the people of Arkansas place him in
the executive chair to protect the interests
of the Illinois Central Railroad Company,
or the interests of this State ! Is it not
the interest of Arkansas that the land dona-
ted by the General Government should be
secured or must the interests Of the State
be permitted to suffer, in order that His EX-
celency may have "a full and explicit IN
derstandng with the Illinois Central Rail-
road capitalists % How ridiculous and alb
surd is his position. In no government IN
der heaven are the people 50 grossly impos-
ed upon, and yet they tamely submit
They murmur it is true, but it is only
murmur. There is no worse despotism up
on earth than that practiced upon the peo-
pie of Arkansas under the garb of Democ-
racy. The people are the source of all
power, and they should speak in tone not
to be misunderstood 1t is their rights
their interests that are at stake, and the time
is not far distant when such a universal
shout of indignation will be heard through
out the State, as will make the powers that
be trcmble in their shoes.

A New Feature.

Our esteemed contemporary Of the Qua
chita Herald is not only one Of the strong
est advocates for Internal Improvement in
the State, but possesses no inconsiderable
amount of originality on this all important
subject. In his last issue he states that
proposition will be made to the Cairo and
Fulton Railroad Company, granting them
the privilege of connecting their road with
the Gaines Landing and Fulton Railroad,
at Camden, but at the same time, he gives
the Cairo company to understand that if
this proposition is not accedcd to, it is the
intention of the Gaines Landing and Fulton
Company to make application to the next
Legislature-(to be called By Gov Con-
wAY)-for the terminus of the branch to
the Mississippi river, as provided for by the
act of Congress, to be fixed at Gaines Land
ing. He thinks it would be no violation of
the provisions of the act donating lands for
that purpose, to adopt the route from Little
Rock to Camden, thence to the Mississippi
at Gaines Landing, instead of Memphis
Well, it probably would not,-but as the
proposed route would be somewhat circuit
Gus. it would be we'll enough first to ascer-
tain whether a company could be organized
that would agree to build it. before the change
is made
We don't wish to be considered selfish,
but we would suggest, that if brother JONES
would make application to the Legislature
for the Fort Smith branch to come around
by Camden, thence to this place. and through
the mountains to Fort Smith.-0e don't
know, but we shall join him. Where's the
necessity of having Railroads unless they
pass through every village and by every
body's house.
