Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-11-03

The articles heretofore published in our pa- per headed, "To You Sir" and signed c. NJ. M., have attracted good deal of attention.- In another place will be found correspondence in further elucidation of the plan proposed.
 In this connection we will state fact for the consideration of our law makers. It is SUD- posed that Sebastian and Crawford counties containing the cities of Fort Smith and Van Buren, receive million of dollars worth of goods, wares and merchandise every year, Count that which goes up White, Red Ouach- ita, and the other navigable rivers of the State would exceed twelve millions of dollars. The tax on this would be to the State twenty thou sand dollars. The whole amount of merchant dize assessed in any one year is about four mill lions worth, showing that two-thirds of it is not assessed, or if it is the taxes never reach the State Treasury. In several counties not dol lars worth of merchandise has been assessed for years, or if it has, the merchants failed to file their receipts or the clerk to certify the amounts to the proper officer. There is some- thing wrong here, either in the law itself or in its execution, for fix it as we please, we find that the State loses, yearly, at least ten thou sand dollars on this single item.

ftrWe call attention to the statement

T We call attention to the statement of packages received on Johnson and Peay's new wharf boat at Napoleon, for the month ending Oct. 22d. Their statement last month showed a receipt of 7,250 packages; this month they have received 7,890, an increase of GAO pack ages, proving that the bulk of fall and winter goods are still en transitu.
 Of the receipts this month 4,o20 packages were for Arkansas river, and 2,l66 for White river, gain in the White river business of near 50 per cent. over last month.
 In consequence of so much shipment per rail- roads, the freight and charges accumulated ra- pidly at Napoleon, and Messrs. J. & P. have paid out during the last tmonth S9,4 20 on the freight received by them.

The Little Rock Theatre.

This establishment opened on the night of the 18th ult to full audience, with Buwers play of " The Lady of Lyons," and the farce of "Our Nan" Mrs. Moroney, in the charac- ter of Pauline, evidently labored under the embarrassment of her first appearance before a new audience, rendering her performance in the first act or two somewhat constrained, but, as the play proceeded, and espseialy inr re ef efeser. tation of love conquering pride. MT. Moroney, as Claude was what we might suppose to be His part had evidently, been carefully studied and was chastely represented The other char acters were well filled, and, in this respect We were most agreeably disappointed. Generally, in the provincial and often, in the metropolitan theatres the subordinate characters have very little attention paid to them and are filled by mere "sticks," who mar the harmony and de- stroy the interest in the play. Not so here.- Each part was well filled; there was an unlock ed for ease and grace in the performers; an ab- sence of rant and yet full entering into the spirit of the pieces, that left no room for fault finding. We have seen this play performed in some of the larger cities by actors of more pre- tensions, but never saw it as well played as in our own little theatre
 We were not present on the second night, but on Saturday witnessed the representation of "The Factory Girl" Mrs. Moronev, as Martha Gibbs, was almost faultless, and her rendering of the character was animated, chaste and true. Mir. Conner as Stephen Plum, sus- taned the reputation that had preceded him.
 Crowded as the paper will be for space, in this weeks issue we will only now notice the fine acting of Mrs. Palmer and of Messrs. Hunt ley and Campbell. Mrs. Palmer, whom we saw in "Our Nan" and Margony," is already an established favorite. We doubt if these characters could be better rendered anywhere. The abandon'--the humor-the naturalness, were nmitable.
 The sefpossessed manner of MT. Huntley, the true conception of the characters he repre- sents, and the spirit of genial humor with which he enters into them, evince an intimate acouain- tance with the boards and with playwrights.- The "Toby Twinkle" and "Cousu Joe" of MT. Campbell were as good as good could be- We are afraid to write our full opinion of this gentleman's acting for fear of being accused of hyperbole.
 Mr. Moroney has amply redeemed his pro- mise to bring us good performers. The stock company though small is excellent. The ladies are all handsome enough to turn the heads of our young men and play their parts with grace and vivaci.y.
 We have now neat and we'll conducted theatre, whose manager in his selection of pieces has shown good taste and judgment; who has so far given us a succession of novelties and evinced his determination to please. We be-. lieve it will be a success, for those who have not visited it will do so upon being told of its mer- its, and those who have gone once will certainly go again.

Sale of Lots in Buffalo City.

We direct special attention to the advertise ment of our townsman, J. H. Quisenberry esq.,, for the sale of lots in Buffalo City. He has be- come the sole proprietor of this admirable oca- tion, and we know from demonstration during the past four years, that he possesses the energy and the practical experience to build up not on- ly town, but city at the above point. No citizen of Des Arc has contributed as much to- wards her onward progress as Mir. Quisenberry. He has built residences, business houses, and contributed literally in aiding to erect our pub- lie edhces It is most fortunate for the people ofthe north or northwestern portion of Arkansas that this magnificent site for building up con- mercial point has fallen into the hands of gen. tleman who is determined to lay it off on magnificent scale His liberal offers for estab- fishing saw and grist mill, are in consonance with the policy which actuates liberal mind - wishing to contribute to the comfort and benefit of others, as we'll as to enjoy profit and ad- vantage himself. We again solicit careful persual of his advertisement, which demon strates beyond a doubt that Buffalo City is com pelled to be the commercial emporium of north western Arkansas.

NEGRO Boy TAKEN FROM HIS MASTER IN CANADA.-The Detroit Advertiser of the 18th ult., has the following account of an outrage perpetrated in Chatham, Canada, on the day before:
 party of southerners were on the express train due at Windsor at 515 P. M, and one of them had mulatto servant, boy of ten years along with him. At London, colored man was observed in conversation with the boy. while standing upon the platform. No suspi. con was excited by this, however but when the train reached Chatham, where it stops to wood and water, il was instantly surrounded by tumultuous gathering of three or four hun- dred colored persons, evidently laborng under great excitement. A white man, representing himself to be the sheriff of the town. entered the car where the gentleman and his servant sat, followed bya crowd of coored men. One of the latter individuals asked the boy to come out. lie replied that he would not. and clung to hs master. In the meantime. those outside were shouting Bring him out. &c.. and revol- vers were freely shown by those out as we'll as tn. The boy was taken out crying, and en- Geavored to cling to his master. and borne away with the crowd. The train then started and the gentleman, whose name is ", OB. Merwn, ana residence St. Louis. came to this city, and Is now stopping at the Russel House.

 TRIAL OF HANDSOME WIDow.-The North Carolna papers announce the acquittal, at Ral. elgh last week, of Martha Morgan, handsome young widow, aged about twenty two years, charged with the murder of Alexander Allen constable m Johnson county. A writer in the Petersburg Express says:
 "Martha Morgan, the prisoner, was indigent but proverbially honest. Through her own exertons, and the kindness of few nei,hbors she supported her little family Some months since, Allen, the constable, forcibly entered her abode and levied on the effects of her scanty household, for the purpose of selling the same. She remonstrated and importuned him to de- sist. Regardless of her entreaties, he persisted in taking possession of her furniture, and added insult to injury by heaping upon her a volley of abuse. Being without protector and feel ing deeply aggrieved, in moment of frenzy she seized shot gun and shot her persecutor down. The jury having come into court. ren. dered verdict of mot guilty !" The result was received by an immense concourse of vis- tors by one universal outburst of applause.
