Thi. sudden stroke from an unexpected

road is 30 miles below Fulton, and he posi-.
lively asserts that it is not more than Is OF
l6 miles on an air line.
The distance is a matter Of little impor.
tance to us, but we would inform our friend
Of the Herald that we were not mistaken at
ALL When We said 30 miles, we meant 30
miles, and We are still of the opinion that
il is over, rather than under that distance
by the nearest practic able route. OF course
We were not speaking of air lines, but even
on m air line, the distance is over q miles,
and such line would cross Red river about
sixteen times in that distance.
The Editor misquotes us in another para.
graph. lie makes us say that Mr. Meal.
min. the Engineer Of the New York and
Pacific Railroad Company, had bR,sae1 n
survey of that road. from Memphis, west.
ward, by way of Little Rock and Fulton,
and then inquiries whether We seen anything

mate of the work. lie may have adopted
the survey of others as the basis for his es.
innate, or for aught we know, hc may have,
guessed at it as the editor probably did at
the locality of the cutoff, and with much
more accuracy.
As regards the hills around Washington,
any disparaging remarks upon that subject
come with i'll grace from our friend of the
Herald, whose residence is surrounded by
hills that rise much higher than those around
Washington, and gulleys that dive deeper
into the bowels of the earth, than our friend
ever went into the Geography OF Arkansas,
