What tha Arkansas Papers Say.

corning the city of Camden, from which we learn that it is in fourshiug condition. We have all neglected home matters and suffered opin- ions of the barrenness of the land to go abroad for want of mention. Our remisness in this re- gard we are now endesvoring to atone for by a series of articles on the condition and resources of the State. We notice, that our home ex- changes, like the Eagle, are turning their atten- ton to the development of the resources of the State and descriptions of her hourishing towSs and localities. Says the Eagle, speaking oi Camden:.
 "With two carriage factories unsurpassed in the south; two furniture, cabinet and upholster- ing establishments, which furnish everything in their line, of very superior finish and durabili- tv; foundry and blow factory, where the farmer, machinest and builder can be supplied with all kinds of casts; two tanneries, eaqual to any in the south; a steam grst and flour mill, of important and useful availability; three steam saw mills, within three miles of town, the con- stant working of which cannot supply the de- mand for lumber, we do not hesitate to an- nounce to the world land the rest of mankind,' ' that we surpass any place in the State in point of manufactories, and would scarcely yield the palm to any of the same population south ol Mason and Dixon's lne."
 In this connexion we notice that Messrs. B. P. and E. D. J cit have taken editorial control of the South Arkansas Democrat. In their salutatory article they say:
 "Some of our patrons will doubtless be dis appointed, in missing the spicy and well timed articles of our gifted predecessor. We shall feel his loss greatly, and have parted with him with regret, but this fact will stimulate us to extra exertious to compensate them, and shall be happy, indeed, if to any extent we shall sue ceed, by endeavoring to advance the interest of the State, in developing her hidden resources bringing to view the riches of her mountains and valleys-her hills and dales-her sparkling springs and crystal streams-her majestic rivers with their alluvial bottoms, upon which our great southern staple grows So luxuriantly-and her mild, salubrous climate, inviting all the world, and the rest of mankind, to come and partake of the rich blessings that benefcent Providence has so literally bestowed upon this favored portion of hr creation. Arkansas claims of the press, and shall receive at our hands, oul best natural resources, the advancemento of hel works of internal improvement-he educatlon- al and agricultural interest," so that she may be enabled, at an early day, to take that stand amongst her sister States, to which she Is So justly entitled, and from which she has been debarred, by set of crcumstances-the most remarkable in the history of any new State that has been added to our confederacy"
 The editor of the Arkansas Traveller appears to have devoted himself with renewed energy to his paper since his defeat His hits are all good and evinces that he is in good humor.- Here is one of them:
 Fevers of every type almost are very pre- valent in Madison Parish, Louisana.- Es.
 Wonder if matrimonial fever is among them If not and the good citizens of Madison Parish desire to complete their catalogue, let some them visit here where it Is prevalent, contagious and fatal"
 And another:
 Apples grown in the interior of Georgia arc being shipped t,.New York in large quantities. Er.
 Wonder that the Greeley Bcecher- Stowites of New York, are not afraid to eat Georgia ap- pies. They are the products of negro-slaye- labor"
 Noticing "the ticket" of one of the opposi- ton papers, Scott closes his article with these sensible remarks:
 :" After all, however, we are of the opinion that the Batance, and other papers of that stamp and all opposition papers, need not trouble themselves much about the next President and Vice President. The good old national democ- racy of the country has those offices in guar dIanship, and will supply them with material ol her liking"
 We clip from the same paper the following notice of the illness of Doctor D avid Dale Owen:
 The Mt. Vernon, Indiana, Advocate states that Dr. Owens health is such as to excite ap- prehensIons that he will not survive-that his close application to scientific pursuit has proved too severe for constitution never robust, and which nutural defects, time and unfortunate neglect have confirmed and deepened
 pr. D. D. Owen, Is the State Geologist oi this State, by appointment of Gov Conway We hope he may recover in time to report to the next legislature the result of his geological surveys, as lar as made which were, we believe confined 10 a few of the northern counties oi the State"
 We saw the above paragraph in the Indiana papers at the time of it's first appearance but, about the same tme saw notice in the Louis vile papers of the arrival of Dr. Owen in that city. As he was then going north to have plates engraved for his forth coming geological report, we were led to belive that the article quoted above by the Traveller, referred to the general health of the Doctor and not that he was at that time in Indiana confined by sickness. We have recently received letter from Dr. Owen, and are gratifed to state that there is no truth about his illness.
 The Fort Smith Herald smarting under the scoring we felt it our duty to give it, endeavors to "get even" by making charges that are as absurd as they are false. We have often won- dered that an editor, or editors, (for it appears that this little go-cart of concern is usually so loaded with filth that 1t takes two donkeys to pull it,) with the natural proclvity to falsehood they show, did not invent more Probably they prefer to reterate old stories, acting on the max i'm that "a lie we'll stuck to is as good as the truth" These men strive to invent some new ones, and timidly venture them forth, with such prefaces as " it is pretty generally believ- ed,' it is confidently asserted by many" and Eve have often heard" As tour opponents have adopted the policy, lately of assuming every statement to be admitted that is not positively denied, and as we have little time and space just now, perhaps it vii! be as well to notice the charges and insinuations of the Herald and then let 1t slide.
 In the first place the editor of this paper is not the private secretary of the Governor, nor has he been for year and half
 It is absolutely, entirely and unquaifiedly false that the True Democrat fused every ef- fort, as far as it dare, to defeat Col. Hindm ans nominations" We believed that he would be the nominee, and if we published letters from persons who were opposed to him, it was be- cause we had opened our columns to all demo- crats We neither knew of the coming out of MT. Wilson nor was it done at our instance. f
