Our city is dull; the river low, and b1,
little news afoat. Passing up main straS.
We find the poor OLD Real Estate Bank ius,
where she always stood and enterino yon
find busy at work Gorden N. Peay and R;H,.
Newton, TWO as clever fellows as are to /.
found in any country, while Billy MiIler
Messrs. George and Crease are cypber;un
away, to what purpose is only known to
Governor Conway and-the gate post,-but
then-"we shall see what We shall see ),
A little further up on the same side are tho
law Offices of those worthy limbs of the Law
Phil Trapnall and Jim johnson, ready to
take the oyster and divide the shells anon,
any outsider who may be curious to ;rv the
mysteries of the law. On the opposite side
is Mr. Guthrie, monied agent for ali Ar
kansas. our most worthy fellow citizen, Peter
Tinsiey Crutch6eld, who besides his civil
honors, gathered some few laurels in Mexico.
next to him is the old settler. honest Charlie
Bertrand. who sits in his Office at least ten
hours out of the ty-four, and is ever
preparing his ''whereas-heretofor wit
on-and at-Gid on. &C." Charlie is
great business mao. At the old post-office
Jaseph still holds out, willing and ready to
sell cheap goods or discuss knotty Bible
point. Jaseph may be little soft in his
upper story, but when it comes to selIno
goods or buying cotton. like Hamlet's. there
is method in his madness. There eoe,
Billy Woodruff, as regular as clock-work-
wonderful man-looks as young as he did
twenty years ago Here they come-some
thing under 2 40 1t is new span Bill
Ashley picked up at Memphis Bill is
clever fellow. has good eye for horse,
and handles the ribbons like Chifney.
Here we are at John Collins'-a real No l.
Irishman. liberal to fault, aud with pO-
liteness that is not forced Who is in Lazy
alley! Any quantity of gentlemen of leis-
ure, so here we take our seat DR. Webb
is going it on one of his yarns Politics
are up. Webb is neither for or against the
goose He holds that truth lies midway.
Somebody has said something against the
American party-this has started up my
most excellent friend John T. Trigc. Now
John believes strong in the principles of the
American party and be never allows any
one to SANDER it in his presence But
every thing is smooth and quiet again in q
moment. The truth is, Messrs Editors, we
have the friendliest little city in the world
What we say politically of each other now
aud then, is only in a Peek sniffian sense.
Even Dick, with ali the venom be pours
forth in the True Democrat, is first-rate
friendly fellow, does not mean the fourth
he says.
Fulton has left the corner, and taken
Henry's old stand-wbile Henry is in one
Of Adams new rooms and if you have a
good deal of Imagination. when entering it
you can fancy yourself at Stewart's Full
ton cannot cover up any defects in bis first
rate articles now, and he swears that never
before had be half chance to exhibit their
/ beauties
Here comes old man Rider, looking just
like he did twelve years ago. and without
any improvement in his manner Of speaking
the Kings English. Stand back, here
comes the GoveTnor-ond as we do not to
| the full extent subscribe to the ''ringed
t tailed panters" doctrine, that Governor
is no better than a common man in fight,
We will venture to say he is looking un,
commonly well-no sign of a chill about
him-and to the naked eye, slightly dis
posed to dropsy or corpulency-and with
his Excelleucy we close our scribbing.
