 4. That we respectfully urge upon the stock holders to meet their instalmens promptly, and as portion of Jackson county, we believe it would be expedient to have the larger portion Of the internal improvement fund accruing to said county, applied to the said road; and, therefore, we recommend to the county court the proprlety of Investing the same in stock | 5. That we have every confidence in the ability and integrity of the agents of said com pany, and extend our thanks to them for their energy in bringing forward said work. | 6. That we regard every effort to obstruct the completion of said road, as designed to re- tard the general prosperity of the State for sectional and local considerations, which we deprecate in whatever shape such opposition may come.
 z. While said road is eminently beneficial to our own State, it is also of national impor- tance, and should be looked to as the enter prise of our common country. | The above resolutions were all unanimously adopted.

Cairo and Fulton Railroad.

Several of the officers of the Cairo and Ful. ton railroad were at Cairo on the 20th instant for the purpose of making arrangements o, the early prosecution of this great work among whom was Judge Cross of Arkausas the general agent of the road, Col. Barlst, the president of the Missouri division, and ,s veral directors.
 Col. R. B. Mason, of the Illinois Central w,, there, and was appointed consulting engnep, for the whole road, and Wm. H. Burrall. chic, engineer of the Missouri division. Mason Brav. man, esq, formerly attorney for the Illinois Central company, was chosen land commissions, for the whole road.
 This road Is now in most commanding no. stion, having grant of land equal to that of the Illinois Central for its entire length in the States of Missouri and Arkansas, in addition in which large amount of swamp land has been donated in Missouri by the counties throuyb which 1t passes.
 Mir. Brayman will proceed at once to orga. n'ze the land department, and make arrange. mentS tor the prosecution of the work on the Missouri dlvlson, as soon as the necessary en- gneering has been completed.
 Mir. Burrall will probably commence the To. cation of the road next ws contracts for the entire Missouri divi I4ilI be ready for letting, it is hoped at al. s7Ffy day. It willbe seen II another column that bids are solicited for the clearing of portion of the road on the 25th of October.
 This great national route besides opening up the most fertile and richest country of Arkansas and Missouri, will be of importance as a grea. connecting link between the north and south iu connection with the Illinois Central road by which their principal articles of commerce may be exchanged to mutual bene6t-and the names of such men as Col Mason give wa- rant for the soundness of the enterprise- Ch. caqo Times.

Horrible Tragedy.
Nelo Fork, Sept. l5. 1855

We learn that on Saturday night last tR dwelling of Mir. Henry Durham, about ol
 mile and quarter from Jacksonport, was bur- ed, and that on examination, the remains of tE
 bodies of Mir. D. his wife and negro woma
 were found among the ashes. The sk4..s bor marks of severe strokes with some heavy shar instrument; and as an axe was found near them it is supposed that they were first murdere with the axe, and then the house SC. fre- The horrible deed was perpetrated it ,a 'ss -h by negro man which MT. Durham J bought; and this suspicion is reduced all. certainty by the fact that the negro immeit ately took Mir. Durham's best horse and fled He was pursued by several of the citizens O Jacksonport, and on the next day the nal ride from Powhattan met him travelling in hass only four miles in advance of his pursuers, and before this time he is probably caught ant .n custody. Such vile wretch deserves thev
 punishment known to the law and he wil.' doubt be convicted and sentenced to be \ at the ensuing term of the Jackson circuit n.ssA, unless the rage of the people should lea, u.g v

From the Des Arc Citizen. A Gard.

MR. MoRRILL-As there are many of my friends seem to manifest some anxiety to know where l stand politically, permit me to say through your paper, that have been whig all my life, until the Know Nothing party sprung up, and apparently the whig rarty went down. Left in this condition, joined the new party, under conviction that it was good thing, gotten up by good, reliable men of both of the old parties, embracing new issues of the greatest immediate importance to the welfare of our country, and reliable, fixed on firm basis, never fiinching. But on mature reflection and inves- tgation, and seeing how this party have carried out their professions, even in our own State and county, must say, my short acquaintance with 1t has learned me lesson not soon to be forgotten. And lest fall into another error, have gone to party that differs but little with the old whig party, and have guarantee from the past that in the future it will be reliable carrying out, in good faith, the policy advocated at the present day. believe there are thou sands of the new party that firmly believe they are right, and act accordingly; but for one Qet others think and act as they may,) 1 shall for the future act and vote with the democratic party.

Texas Western Railroad Comn., 4


 We are in receipt of several letters from c;,; zens of Harrison, Rusk. Smith and Leon cona rr'.' ties, which satisfy us that the bill passed tbrous the legislature over the Governors veto for ,eu benefit of this company. is far from beino 70. dially endorsed by the parties most directly ;r terested. We reiterate that no solvent COT, ,nu ny would have made any objections to the ,ra nra lection of the interests of the State demarftoS f, by the Governor, in granting the relief asked Indeed 1t will diminish the confidence of oIi capitalists in the present company. Its s,'. failure was in not being able to put up the s30' OOO bonus; it's next to give any sort of securtv to the State for its future operations.
 It has doubtless paid out more money k, feasting legislators and lobbying, and less fo, building an actual road, than any other compa. ny in the Union. And it is in vain for tho State to get any account of its workings and finances.
 We are glad to learn that an effort is on foo. to place the company in the hands of men who will build the road. We desire to see the line of 32 speedily occupied by such men. The in. terests of the whole State demand it. In tbs money marketthe only reputation yet earnedbv the company is that of lame duck Tenn, Stnte Gdzette.

has resulted We would be pleased to oblige our Know Nothing friends, in small matters but as great and important interests are at stake upon which the future of this glorious confede- racy depends, we cannot do so, and as the de- mocracy have planted themselves in this crisis upon the immutable principles of justice and right, and have their banner flying in every State, with their principles boldly emblazoned on them, it would be superlatively foolish to fuse with, or surrender to any faction or ism At the same time, we invite the patriotic of all parties to unite with us in advocating the cleo ton of our glorious S andard bearers, which we shall continue to do, until the last vote is pol led on the 1st Tuesday of next November Other parties may fuse with factions and isms- the national democracy, never!

The St. Francis Meetimg-D
 t,yat,eued-RniI an the Rail-

We learn from those who were present, that our friends in St. Francis had rousiDg meet ing at Capt. McDaniels on Saturday last. The united democracy of the county were there to rejoice over past triumphs and congratulate each other upon the brightning prospects of the future victory. It must have been proud day for those unhinching democrats who slay ed Sam' so effectually in August. We ten der to them all our hearticst gratulations. Let the ball be kept in motion Our enemies are still on the alert. The combined cohorts of abolitionsm and Know Nottingham will spend all their strength to secure our defeat in No vember Let the spirit of that meeting be kept up. They had large crowd, sump- tuous dinner, and excellent speeches. Can we not follow their example in Phillips, and will not the "invincble democracy of St. Francis," keep their watchtires blazing? We hope so- H elena State Rights Democrat, Oct. 8.

Look out for the Rascal.

On last Saturday night posse of gentlemen from this place arrested at the house of Mr. McGee, gentleman living about six miles from here, notorious scoundrel by the name of Hancock, who, it has been proven, has been endeavoring to excite an instruction amongst our slaves. He was brought within one hun
 cred yards of the court house, when all at once, he put whip to his horse and was out of sight in a jitfy. He took the company so by surprise, that no one endeavored to shoot or pursue him until it was too late, al.d so he made good hls coup detat. Hancock had been warned by committee of the citizens of the county on the 18th ult, to leave this State within five days, and not complying with this requisiton, it was thought best to arrest him.
 He was ,een on Sunday last about twelve miles from here on the Farmersvilie road Three men started on the same night of his es- cape, in pursuit of hm-and when last heard from, they had by some means or other, got in odvance of h.na, and he was following leisurely after It is probable they may arrest him yet
 Hancock is tall dark-skinned man with a very forbldding countenance He had on at the time of his escape, long tailed, old fash toned jeans overcoat; a low crowned, broad brimmed black fur hat and was riding a fine looking sorrel horse.-Edorado Union Oct. z.

democracy than the Know Nothing faction We wish that party many more of the same sort.
 Linden'' is certainly one of those "who have ears, hear not, and eyes, see not" or he would have been convinced before this that Fillmore and Donelson would be nowhere in the race in this county. Buck and Breck will change Arkansas county from cypher; be sure of that, and am confidently of the opinion the majority will be heavy. ***. lst October. 1856.

Never failing Cure for Bloody Murrain
 in Cattle.

MR. EDirog-As the bloody murrain is disease which takes largely from the profits of stock raising in the west we think, perhaps, there would be nothing of much more interest to tho stock raising portion of your readers than never failing cure Having tried the remedy ourself, and also known others to do the same and heard of it being tried and never failing in other portions of the country, we feel per- fectly safe in saying to the public that this re- medy will cure nine cases out of every ten; and we believe if given in time 1t will never fail in any case of bloody murrain. The fol- lowing is the simple, but etfectual remedy:
 Take of white oak bark, newly pealed from the tree, as much as you can easily encompass with the thumbs and fingers of both hands boil this in one gallon of water for 8 short time, then pour off the water without dregs. and dis solve in it lump of alum the size of very small hen egg, and lump of copperas of the same size; with this mixture drench the sick animal and in twelve hours your COW will be well. It never has failed in one single instance in our knowledge.

Mir R. H. JoHNsoN-Dear Su: You will please announce to your readers the death of the Hon. John M. Mitchell, who was at the late August election elected representative for Green county, for 1856.
 Mr. Mitchell died of d!ysentery, after long illness, at his residence near Gainesville, Ar kansas on the 2d of October. In his death the county looses worthy representative, a good citizen, the people high minded honora- blc gentleman, and the Masonic Fraternity a perfect Astler, worthy of the highest regard of his brethren.
