of the many advantages to our State of the Fulton road to CAIRO.
 In our former article we referred to the struggle of Memphis to kill off our extension from Little Rock to Cairo, and in order to throw light on subse- quent features of the case, we will briefly consider here the merits of the rival roads between Fulton, Little Rock and Memphis as compared with the foregoing sketch of the road between Fulton, Little Rock and Cairo. In this comparison the portion from Little Rock to Fulton, ard the extension
 from Fulton to Galveston, being con-
 mon to both sides of the question, the rivalry existing between the two roads lis seen to lie between the Little Rock connection with Cairo, on the one hand, and the Little Rock and Memphis con- |nection or branch, on the other. We shall make this comparison frankly, |dispassionately y: wepledge ourselves to support the road which promises most
 for the good of our State. Our cry is three cheers for our" "Arkansas road,'' whichever of the routes be entitled to the name, and one cheer more for oul ''State pride and State interests"

RAILROAD MEETING.

Pursuant to public notice, previous ly given, number of the citizens of Phillips county, with some few from our sister State of Mississippi, as- sembled at the Court house, in Helena, on Monday, 18th inst.
 The Meeting was called to order, and on motion of JOHN c. PALMER, Efq., Dr. GEORGE JEFFRIEs was call ed to the Chair, andQ. K. UNDERWOOD appointed Secretary. Upon taking the Chair, Dr. JeHries explained the object of the meeting in his usual for cible manner. Whereupon, NJ. BUTT HEwsoN, Esq, Chief Engineer of the Arkansas Midland Railroad, was in- troduced to the meeting, and in pleasant, easy, elegant style, pro- ceeded to make some developments in regard to Railroads in general, and in particular the Arkansas Midland Rail- road, which, sustained as his remarks were by FACTS and FIGURES, arrested the attention of the audience and car ried conviction to their minds. He clearly demonstrated not only the ad- vantage to the country that must fol- low upon the construction of the Ar kansas Midland Railroad, but like wise that upon its construction even as far as White River, it must immediate fly become one of the best paying stocks in the United States. But that it could never stop at White River-Railroads have mission to fulfill, and construct this Road to White River, and it would build itself on to Little Rock. At the conclusion of Mir. HEwsoN's remarks, JNo. c. PALMER, Esq, was called for, and, after a short, though eloquent and inn pressive speech, enforcing the necessity |of immediate action upon the part of each and every citizen of Phillips county, Books of Subscription were |opened and several thousand dollars subscribed.
 Whereupon the Meeting adjourned.
