was taken away-until within year or two past weimported four; now we export it. Our cotton yarns and cloth was brought from the east, but our factories built and about to be built, will soon supply us at home. Vast sums paid abroad for the education of our children we hope to see disbursed here. The fashion oi visiting northern watering places, every year. by our wealthy people, is getting into dlsrepute. Tn many ways we are becoming less tributary to others and by spending money at home, are building up good institutions among us and augmentng our capital. There is tide in the affairs of nations as we'll as of men which taken at the flood leads on to prosperity. The tide, we veriy believe, has set into Arkansas. There is nothing to prevent her growth. Hasty leSis- laton has crippled us, and other causes have served to keep us back, but the natural ad- vantages we present are beginning to be appreci- ated
 The rapid increase of population, the growing wealth, the thousand inquiries made from other States and the avidty with which all facts con. cerning our State are sought for abroad. go to show that the attention of the people from the older members of the confederacy are turned here, and they are beginning to find that ours is the promised land
 Instead of a nation of cut throats and pis- tollers, they find We are not worse than our neighbors. Instead of an oppressive govern ment we have one of the lightest in the Unon Instead of ignorance and infdelity we are well supplied with schools and churches and are free from all isms, including atheism. We need more citizens. We have plenty lands, and all other desrables for those that seek home.- We shall soon have complete system of in ternal improvements and the sooner the coun- try tills the sooner we shall be able to complete them.
 So soon as a railroad is built, the tide of emi- grafton will flow, till the vast forests will be felled, the magnificent bottoms opened and put in cultivation, the homes of the deer and wild beast changed to fruitful fields and thousands subSsting and growing rich on the soil that is now covered with forests or the verdure of the prairies.
 The Pacific railroad will be built, and DOT ton of it through Arkansas, and be the means of building up large cities. We shall have not only railroads but telegraphs and all the appli- ances of modern science. With these things with matchess climate, fertile soil, situated in the centre of the Union, together with an untold mineral wealth, it would be hard to over- predict the future of Arkansas.

with this view adopt the,report of the committee of conference appointed to confer with the con- mittee of conference from the republican con- vention, and that the President of this conven- ton be requested to transmit to the republican convention notice of this action Carried. Mir. R. $. Andrews moved that committee of three be appointed by the chair to convey the resolution just passed to the republican conven- tion.
 Messrs R. s. Andrews, Scroggs and Northrup were then appointed such committee. Gen. Scroggs then got the floor, and offered resolutions explanatory of the conference com mittee's resolution on the slavery question as the understanding of this convention on the subject. It changes the conference resolutions by adding the following:
 | ReSolUcd, That we are opposed to the exist ence and extension of slavery into the terrlto- res of the United States nevertheless that we recognize the right of the native born and na- turalized citizens of the United States, perma nently residing in any territory thereof, to frame their constitution and laws, and to regulate their l domestic and social affairs in their own mode, subject only to the provisions of the federal constitution. Carried"
 This, it will be seen, is "squatter sovereing- ty'' of Douglas type.
 Finally, to show how the result is viewed by the black republicans we give the comments of the N Y. Tribune thereon:
 "The attempt to combine the two parties re- presented at Syracuse in united effort against the abhorred measures and the corrupt and faith, less men of the Buchanan democracy, appears to have failed. We regret this result, but are not surprised at it. A little more experience seems to be necessary to the masses or to the leaders of the two parties. A combination of them is inevitable, but the time for it has not yet arrived. But though the anticipated CO., operation has thus been prevented so far as the State ticket is concerned, we trust it may yet be found practicable in the congressional districts, especially where the two parties acting separate ly are sure to be beaten by the common toe.'
 Greeley says that the combination is inev- itable." A little more flirting, coquetting and love making, and the union of Sam and Sambo will be complete

The Florida Indians.

"We learn that the secretary of the interior has prepared instructions for Col. Elias Rector, superintendent of Indian affairs in the south west, directing him to take measures for the re- movai of the Semiuoles in Florida IL was un- der the management of Col R. that Billy Bow legs and his party were removed to the west, and it is confidently believed that his further efforts in this respect will be successful, if the white people who live adjacent to the hauuts of The Indians still in Florida, will not interfere with them, so as to induce them to retire to their hiding places in the impeletrable morasses. Col. k. will visit Florida as soon as the season permits, taking few of the Seminoles now in the west with him, with the intention that they shall hunt up those still remaining and induce them to remove"

Maj Elias Rector and the Florida Indians.

Maj Rector was in our city last week on his way from Washington to his home near Ft Smith. We were glad to learn from him that he had settled his matters with the interior de- pertinent in relation to the removal of the Semi nole Ind.aus last spring, so much to the satis- faction of the secretary of the interior, that he has been ordered to return again to Florida af- ter the remnant of Semnoles that were left there.
 Maj. Rector deserves eminent praise for his success in removing Billy Bowlegs and his com pauions. He succeeded at but trihing ex- pense to the government when others had re- peatedly been at more expense and tai5ed
 For the last twenty years the Florida Indians have caused an annual drain upon the treasury of hundreds of thousands of dollars, amounting in the aggregate to millions. This drain Mai Rector by his successful efforts last spring has put an end to. We shall in future hear no more of the annual appropriations of half mil lion, of money to put stop to the hostilities of Florida Indians.
 We congratulate the secretary of the interior upon his appointment of Maj. Elias Rector to the discharge of this difficult business. Mai. Rector was the man of all others, and his sue cess deserves all praise and a handsome renuue- ration from the government.
 The following, from the Washington Star, shows that the secretary fully appreciates the qualifications of Maj. Rector for the undertak-

Whether any good will result from such discussion is problematical, but if it should be thought worth while to discuss the subject at the north, the south should select man of character, of ability, a good reasoner and debater Such a man, with the strong side ot the case, would achieve a complete victory. Of Pryne we know nothing, but from his open ing speech judge him to be one of the fauatical preachers who disgrace northern pulpits. hay ing all the cant of the abolitionists at his tongues end.

 LITTLE RocK CARRIAGE MANUFAcroRY.-A oAy or two since we were shown over the fine establishment of A. J. Ward, in this city. He has erected the necessary workshops and large carriage warehouse to carry on the business and te exhibit the work. Some of the work shown us will vie with anything we have seen come rom the north as regards lightness, strength and hnish. His workmen are said to be among the best wrghts in the south and are emipentlv capable of changing wood and iron into any de. sired shape. MT. Ward has upwards of twenty werkmen employed and we are pleased to see shas he has sufficient custom to keep them constantly employed. The establishment and miantainance of such large carriage factory as this in our midst, is an evidence of our growing prosperity, and the fact of its being kept up is
 proof that Mir. Ward does work of kind and at prices that commands custom and wins success

We have a common interest in the defeat of the democratic party, which owes it's success to the votes of an ignorant, priest ridden rabble of Irish foreigners, and which will meet its final overthrow whenever the ballot box shall be purified by the adoption of American reforms"
