O0IIV7P7HUVIVo O1 CNt TlcaNUne Letter from Montecello. Arks

H0nttcelio, July 26, 1857.
 FRIEND PIc.-It may be that not a few of your readers may ask, where is Monticello Arkansas? Please allow me to inform them that Monticello is the county site of Drew county, eighty miles east of Camden. and for ty miles west of Gaines's Landing, on the Mis- sisslppl, and 1t is on the railroad line. IL is a new town, the county site having formerly been at Rough and Ready, a mile and half south.
 know of no place in all the length and breadth of our country that presents a more promising appearance, or affords a more pleas ant nome than Monticello. There are some eIsht or ten stores, some of them doing q very extensive business; two drug stores; two hotels: one printing office, ill which "lhe Sage of Monticello" Is printed, (which, by the way is ealted with no little tact and talent.) several doctor shops, lawyers offices, etc; large frame ouldihg ior male academy, an elegant court house just flnlshed, and building is now in course of erection for female college, which Ill point oi architecture and finish will com. pare iaVoraDly with any other building of the klnd ln the State A faculty of acknowledged ability has been employed and due arrange menus are making to commence the exercises ot the college some time during the ensuing iU 70 'iltCiIdcu lO Lidkt me school Of the very first order, so as to afford every possi ole facility for the education of young ladies. Within few weeks, the streets of th;s new town will be swarming with youth and beauty.
 We have three churches and no town can sustain claim to more orderly community. or more moral people, than Monticello.
 Good health Is one of the great chAracteris- ties Of this region. There ia, 1 learn from physicians and others, scarcely single case of sickness now in the town or neighborhood. and thls IS considered the most scklv period of the whole year. There are no swamps or la goons near. The lands are elevated. the air pure and refreshing, and the water just such as to insure health
 The citizens are making arrangements to sink an artesIon we'll so as to afford an abundant supply of water to every part of the town.
 Arkansas Is looking up at last. She has borne the worlds contumely long enough.- Possessing as she does all the natural elements of wealth. such as fertility of soil, health, tim Der, minerals, rlvers etc., she must necessarily soon become one of the most favored of the southwestern States. Colleges and schools of high grade for both sexes, are springing up all over the land, and the very groves that few years ago re-echoed with the yell of the sa. vase' and the wolf's long, hungry growl, are now vocal with song, and dotted here and there with farms, farm houses and villages The Wilderness IS reclaimed, and lies spread out be- fore the eye in thousand furrowed tields ALPHA

Our Country's Bigger-ness.

The sun in the west makes shadows longer. and hence the reason, we suppose, why the western papers give us the most extensive pie turings of our national elevation. We copy from one of them the following shadowngs forth
 The greatest cataract in the world is the Falls of Niagra, where the waters, accumulated from the great upper lakes, forming a river three quarters of mile in width, are suddenly con- tracted and plunged over the rocks in two col. umns, to the depth of one hundred and sixty feet.
 The greatest cave in the world is Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, where one can make voy- age on the waves of a subterranean river and catch fish without eyes.
 The greatest river in the world s the Msss- sipp, four thousand one hundred miles in length. Its name is derived from the Indian word, meaning the father of waters.
 The largest valley in the world is the valley of the Mississippi. It contains five hundred thousand square miles, and Is one of the most prolific regons on the globe.
 The largest lake in the world is Lake Su- perior, four hundred and thirty miles long,
 The largest natural bridge in the world is that over Cedar Creek, in Va. Itextends across a chasm eighty feet in width and two hundred dilu Hiby lttb uccp, Iuo DOtbOul VI WDICu d creek flows.
 The greatest solid mass of iron in the world is the Iron mountain of Missouri. It is three hundred and fifty feet higo, and two miles in circuit
 The longest railroad in the world is the Gen. tral Railroad of Illinois, which is seven hun- dred and thirtyone miles long, and cost fifteen million of dollars.
 The greatest number of miles of railroad, in proportion to its surface, of any country in the world, is in Massachusetts, which has over one hundred miles to every square mile of its area.
 The greatest number of clocks manufactur- ed in the world is turned out by the small State of Connecticut. The largest number of whale ships in the l world are sent out by Nantucket and New Bed ford.
 The greatest grain port in the world is Chi cago.
 The largest aqueduct in the world is the Cro- ton aqueduct in New York. It is forty and a half miles long, and cost twelve and half mil lion of dollars.

From the N. 0. Picayune Sporting Intelligence.

THE GooDwooD.-Porter's Spirit comes to us full of The American Horses in England" with promise of "more hereafter" The number which will follow the receipt of the news from the Goodwood (probably that of the 18th inst,) is to contain full and special report of all the incidents and particulars of that great race and it will also be accompanied by the likeness of our horses in England, hand somely executed on a separate sheet, which will he given gratis with each copy of the paper | The likenesses of the horses will likewise con- tam list of their engagements and perform l ances.
 A likeness of Pryoress is in the number be- fore Us, Gas in the last number was one of Pryor, and as in the next will be one of Lecomte)
 A book has been opened in New York; by 1 Messrs: Bond & Harris who offer to bet to the amount of Sl 1000, they taking the field against any named horse, at the current odds. | Porter's calls attention to the following sheer l in the London Illustrated News:
 "It seems impossible to get up any interest in the public mind about the American horses who are to figure at the Goodwood; albeit, we are told that the jacket is to be white and red stripes" and the cap blue with white "stars;'' with the following comments:
 "We commend this genial allusion to Mr. | Ten BrOecK'S SelectlOn Of the c0lOrS Of our country to those who insist that the English sporting journals have shown no prejudice against our appearance on their Turf. We have no answer for the sneer beyond the hope that our horses were in condition on the Good wood day to do their best The News has evil dently no fondness for the American flag; and, it is not impossible they may like them worse still after the Cup day. We frankly admit we are not over sanguine about such victory; but just such thing was done at Cowes, by the yacht America, in the summer of 1851. We shall see"
 THE EBoR.-Touching the manner in which our horses have been weighted for the Great Ebor Handicap, Porter's says it has attracted a very wide attention; and the sentiment which its demonstration has elicted, is one of mixed indignation and surprise. The editors add:
 "The manifest injustice of applying the arbi trary rules of weight more heavily to Pryor than to any of the fifty-eight of their own choicest racers entered for the same race, can- not find defender even among Englishmen in this country, and the common impression is that Mr. Ten Broeck will not run his horses in the handicap at York. This is very much to be re- gretted, for the American racers are in England for the first time, and the problems to be deci- ded by the contests which have thus been in- augurated, are, whether our mode of training is most conducive to the speed and endurance of the horse, or whether that merit is to be &C., corded to the British svstem-a problem of no ordinary impotence to both countIies."

THE WILL AND THE WAY.-I learned gram mar when l was private soldier on the pay of six pence day. The edge of my birth, ol that of my guard bed, was my seat to study in, my knap sack my book case, and bit of board lying on my lap was my writing table. had no money to purchase candle or oil; in win- ter it was rarely that I could get any light but the fire, and only my turn even of that. To buy pen or piece of paper I was compelled to forego some portion of my food, though in a state of half starvation. I had not moment to call my own; and l had to read and write amid the talking, laughing, singing, whstling and bawling of at least half score of the most reckless men, and that, too in their hours of freedom from all control. And say, if l. un- der all these circumstances, could encounter and overcome the task, is there, can there be, in the whole world youth who can find an excuse for the -performance?-C Cobbett

The signatures, "flling up," and paper, are unexceptonable; the principal point of difference being in the head of Gen.

e. Some of the papers are so pleased, says the Boston Post, because a deacon has been turned out of black republican church be- bause he voted for Mir. Buchanan, that they recommend all churches to deny democrats communion. The Worcester Bay State, in allusion to this suggestion, says:
 Pulpit denuucation of democracy is noth- ing new in Worcester. There are men now living who were driven out of the Old South church bg the intolerable insults heaped upon Thomas eiferson. There are men now in our midst who heard that great man denounced as So hopelessly vile, that 'Omuipotence could not, if 1t would, make him decent man.'- Ihongh they have lived to hear him lauded by his revilers as all that is exalted in states manshp and philanthrophy, yet they cannot but recall those fierce denunciations as they hear them emulated if not surpassed by the yearlings of modern theology. There is scarce- Y a church in Worcester in which democrat can occupy pew without liability to the su- percilious sneerS that are the usual cant of the morality"

HINT FOR THE JACKSON Box CoMN1rrrr
 Not many years back, an eccentric Englishman bequeathed sum of money to the " bravest man in the British army" The military wera falrly puzzled, and got out of the difficulty bv referring the matter to the Duke of Welinston as the most likely one to decide according to merit merit There were no claimants. (No such difficulty here.) The iron Duke took a lono tune to decide, and at last awarded the legacy to SIT James Mcdonald who so gallantly de- tended the farm of Le Sante Haye-the key or the Dukes position at Waterloo-against the repeated and terrible assaults of the French. DIT ames modestly declined in favor of a ser geant G of the 93d Highlanders, who, when the french grenadiers had forced the gates, and were on the polnt of rushing in faced the storm o' men ana steel, and by sheer bodily strength closed the gates, and, assisted by Sir James succeeded in barring them, thus shutting out the enemy and maintaining the position

OT- The wool clip turns out very large, and bids fair to bring profitable return to the own CTS. From the most reliable information which can be procured from persons who have travel led through the wool growing districts of Ohio, the dealers are satisfied that the aggregate clip of this year will exceed that of 1856 by three millions of pounds. A large part if not all the wool has now passed from the farmer to the merchant, and considerable portion into the hands of the buyers for the New York market and eastern manufactures. The prices paid for great portion of the wool crop range from forty to fifty cents and in some of the best dis tricts ffty-6ve and sixty cents have been paid. Besides the increase in the number of t1eeces, the shearing occurred a month later this year than last and the increase of the growth of the wool during this time affords increase of eight per cent. to the ordinary clip.

TAKING OUT AN EYE TO MEND IT.-The Lelpsic Journal of Literature, Science, and Art, publishes all account of the wonderful discov- eres of Dr. Graeff in diseases of the eye, and the wonderful cures he performes. He has iound the ball of the eye to be transparent, and oy curious instrument, examines minutely The interior, takes it out, and performs any ne- cessary surgical operation, and replaces it with oatlnlury to its appearance or vision. A young grl had long been afflicted with the most ex- cuciating pain in the left eye, the cause of which the most learned could not understand. Dr. Graeff found in the centre of the ball little ~orm which he removed, and restored the poor creature immediately to health and perfect asht. His office is thronged all day by the poor praying for relief.

HE MINNESOTA INDIANs.-The Washing ton Union, of the 22d inst, has the following omcial intelligence from the War Department: We learn that orders have been issued for the troops at Forts McEenry and Mackinaw to proceed to Minnesota to join the troops at orts hidgeiy and Smelling, in view of appre nenuea nt. disturbances among the Indians in minnesota. The government will not author lze uov. Medary to muster volunteers for the ceeding. p'O
 It will be recollected that annuties were di. rected to be withheld from certain Indians m. less they deliver to the governments officers murderers connected with Ink pah-lutah's band. These Indians, while complaining of the withholding of their annuities, say they are afraid. unassisted, to go in search of the mur- derers. These troops will assist them in this business, we presume, and at the same time protect those who are disposed to be friendly to the United States.
 The Interior Department will, we feel as- s,red' take Immediate measures to ascertain 'he pfeciSe condition of affairs in the Territory
