 G57We had the pleasure of meeting our distinguished friend Gen. PILLOW, on Thurs day last. He arrived at Helena a day or since from his home in Tennessee. The Gen. has large interests in our county, and spends great portion of his time here. He has many friends in Arkansas. He is pop ular with his party, in part, because he is Democrat, and with the Americans and Wings because he is so from principle and not from policy. It is gratifying to know that Gen. F. is decidedly the friend of Dou- eas in the contest now going on in Illinois, thatis exciting so much interest all over the country.

 NEW JEwELRY SToRE.-We have the plea sure of announcing the fact that Helena can now boast of Jewelry Establishment that would do no discredit to much larger places. Establishments of this character, where they are under the control of honest proprietors, and are appreciated and sustained by the community, give indications of elegance, refinement and luxurious taste. Mr. Nixon, the proprietor of the store just opened in our city, is a gentleman of character, of liberal and enlarged views, who comes among us to make Helena his permanent home.- His stock of Goods is very handsome, and have been selected with a view of giving satisfaction, if honest representation as to quality and fair prices can effect it. See card in another column.
