the purposes for which they were granted, as we'll as that no difference of opinion may arise as to the views and intentions of the company, or conflict between them and the representatives of the people, in furtherance of this enter prise. They propose for the consideration of the General Assembly, and explicitly state, that they are ready and willing, as they ever have been, upon the request of the Legislature. to surrender to the State their charter, survey field notes, maps profles, books and all official pa- pers relating thereto, on being indemnifed by the State for all their expenditures, so that the respective stockholders may be reimbursed.- This the company believe, is the best plan that could be devised, under the circumstances, to remove every reasonable objection that could justly be raised, that this company desire to place any obstacle whatever in the way of a judicious disposition of these lands by the Le- gslature, to any other company offering guaran- tees more acceptable to the Legislature, and ad- vantageous to the interest of the State
 In addition to what has been stated this com pany would respectfully suggest, as not inap- propnate on this occasion, that these lands call- not, as they are credibly advised, be reserved to the State without the evidence on file, in the General Land Office, of a correct map of an instrumental survey of the route of the pro- posed road accompanied by the field notes from which 1t is compiled, assisted by one of the engineers composing the corps that made the survey.

Letter from Hon. Fl. M. Rector

We lay the following letter, from Hon. H. M.
 Rector, before our readers with great pleasure Col. Rector is correct in his statement that the IlIlnos law, disposing of the Cairo and Chicago grant of lands to the Illinois Central Railroad Company, provides that 5 per cent of the re- celptS of the company shall be paid over semi annually to the State This is so, but how does 1t affect our position? It must be remem- oered that, in addition to the lands given by H. hnols to the company, she gave also $2,OOO,OOO worth of actual work Nothing of this sort is gwen to the Cairo road-not even foot of swamp land so freely given to the other pro- lects, by the House bill. If two million dol lars were given by the State to the Cairo and Fulton road, it would be asking but small re- turn from the companyto pay over to the State Seml- annually 5 per cent of the gross receipts ol the road when completed. This we freely admit.
 We must also refer to tho Missouri law dis posing of her grants of land. She gives them "f"'ost "'condSionazly to the respective charter eo companies, and then besides loaned her oOhds to aid them in raising the means to build '"e roads without sacrificing the lands in ad- '@iice of the construction of them.

LITTLE ROCK, ARKs, Dec 15, 1854. Hon. W. D. RICE
 Dear 'S'r: Your letter of 14th inst, in which you make sundry inquiries in relation to the levee on the east side of the Mississippi river, and the probability of the construction of rail- road from Holly Springs to point opposite Helena, is before me-
 l. To your first inquiry, answer. that the levee now constructing along the west frontier of Mississippi will, in my opinion, effectually exclude inundation from all the bottom between the evee and the hills. But small nortion of the levee remains unfinished, and l exnect if to be completed some time during the comino year.
 2 l am confident that railroad mioht be built from Holly Springs to point opposite Helena at Jess Man ordinary cost, for the timber would be abundant and convenient, and the grading unusually light.
 g. As to the resolutions inviting Arkansas to meet Mississippi with railroad at Helena, I regarded the proposition as being made in good faith, and believe that the Legislature sincerely desired, and that the people of North Missis- sippi are deeply interested in securing the ad vantages of connection at Helena with rail- road running through the State of Arkansas.
