q stockholaer in the Cairo and Fulton railroad company by gentleman in Pennsylvania, who visited Arkansas the past year with the view of becoming citizen of our State: 1 have, believe, i'll former letters referred to the abundance and variety of your unde- veloped mineral wealth, useful as well as pre- clous. now propose to say few words re- specting the capabilities and future prospects of your State-its desirabeness as a home for the emigrant and an asylum for the oppressed hus- bandman, and operatives of distant and foreign lands.
 The settler who selects the uplands of Ar kansas, as the place of his home will have an ample return for his labor in tillng the soil, which is admirably adapted to the cultivation of small grain and the rearing of stock. With far less eXertion and care than Is required in the middle or northern States, the husbandman will find himself, in a few years, independent and ln situation to support and educate fa- mily in the salubrious and delightful climate of
 
 few years, moreover, all parts of your State will be connected with the Atlantic and the lakes; and then the rapid and easy communi- cation, ahording an interchange of the commo- dities of each, will make it one of the most desirable parts of our Union.
 As stockholder in the great ard most m portant road in the Southwest, I know YOU feel deeply sensible of the ncalculable value of the connection which will be formed by it with your brethren of the North and East and of the energy and activity 1t will infuse into your whole population This road extends in diagonal course from the north eastern to the southwestern corner of the State, through counties not surpassed by any of their extent in our country, for the richness, variety and abundance of its agricultural and mineral re- sources. Indeed l look forward to the time, not far distant, when, by connections and it's termn and by lateral and cross roads, the Chrystal State will be made as easy of access. compared with other States, as it has hereto fore been separated from them by want of such facilities of communication.
 The location of the Cairo and Fulton rail. road cannot be surpassed in the ncalculable advantages that will speedily follow it's com. pletion, to the whole of your State. Drectlv or indirectly all of your citizens will be honc fited by it, and all should unite with heart ond hand to stimulate and encourage it's early con- struction, by supporting and patronisng the work. It will open great and increasing mar. ket to the north and east to the south and west, for the inexhaustible and invaluable trea- sures now waiting the means to transport them away. No other route for railroad could be selected in Arkansas, that would be of such general service to the State at large, as the one adopted and surveyed from Cairo to Fulton
