run tie Des Arc CltlZeH, March 2g The Memphis and Little Rock Railroad.
 The organization of the Memphis and Lit- tie Rock railroad company has just been com pleted by the reelection of Col. JOSEPH LE- NOW to the post of secretary and treasurer
 Capt. C. 5. CHURCH has bought the interes, of Mir. FORD in the contract for building the road. The contractors now are Messrs, 3R.n. LEY, STICKNEY and CHURCH. who transact bu- Sness under the firm and name of JOHN II BRADLEY
 We regret to name that the White river crossing ot this road is destined to be a mooted question until the meeting of the next Arkan- sas Legislature Gov. CONWAY obstinatelv re- fuses to adopt the air line. So, the railroad company must bde their time for better man to fill the place.-NempEis Enquirer of Tuesday.
 Gov. Conway obstinately refuses to adopt the air line" Yes, and no man in his senses who has read the law would do otherwise than Just as Gov. Conway has done; and further from ''the lights now before us." no better man can be found in the State to fill the gubernato- rial chair, than ELIAS N. CONWAY He has done his whole duty, and rothiug but hi, duty iu every official act pertaining to the Memphis and Little Rock railroad. The Enquirer of Monday, has the following as a sort of correc- tive, We presume, of its bitterness against Gov. Conway:
 MEMPHIs AND LITTLE ROCK RAILRoAD- Since our article of Sunday last was written we learn that the directory of this road have accepted the location of the route as contend ed for by the Governor of Arkansas, and that the road will cross White river at Devalls Bluff. On with the road gay we-no matter where it crosses
 h,..o lrr, ,oT. '. never can be built, by way of Deval's Bluff. and there IS not an officerof the company, who knows any thing about the route, with sinole exception, who will not coincide with us We have ever contended that the road could ot be built except on the present defined route. with out an act of the Legislature, and the whol, series of tirades heaped upon Gov Conway have originated either in an ignorance of the law, or malicious determination to misrepre- sent hm before the public The most of the land upon the Devall Bluff route which the company would be compelled to take Is worth less, and right well the principal contractor Knows It; therefore, he has attempted to change to various other points on White river. forget ting 1t seems, that the present law requires the road to cross at or near Devalls Bluff. "On with the road, say we'-but bide vou. time and petition the Legislature to change the crossing of White river to point where the company can realize something from the lands they are entitled to-
 oInce the foregoing was in type, we have re- ceived the Memphis Appeal of Wednesday, from which we quote the following paragraph. The probability spoken of, is decidedly sensi- ble:
 MEMPHIS AND LITTLE RoCK RAILROAD The location of this road across White river. we learn from the officers of the companv. has not been fixed at DevalPs Bluff The proba- bility is, we understand that the whole ques- ton will be referred to the next Legislature, and that the air line will be adopted.
