RAFT IMPROVEMENTS susrEspEp.-By


reference to our advertising columns to-
day, it will be seen that Col. Fuller, by
order of the Secretary of War, will sell
at public sale, on Monday, the I'd day of
August next, the Suag Boats, tackle, tools,
&c, which have been used in working
upon the Raft Improvement. This course
has been rendered necessary by Congress
neglecting or refusing to make an appro-
priation to continue the improvement Of
Red River.
Why n work so vitality imp or.ant TO the
best interests of South Arkansas, Eastern
Texas, and the Indian Nations and Mill
tary Posts on their western borders should
be thus suspended, is a question well wor-
thy the attention of every inhabitant of
the valley of Red River above the raft.
One of our Senators, Hon. II. W. John
son, brought the subject of an early ap-
preparation to this important work before
the Senate, and succeed cd, We believe, in
inducing that body to ma Ike an appropria-
ton of one hundred and ten thousand
dollars for the continuation of the im-
proyemeut on Red River, and although it
was recommended by the Secretary of
War in his report, the bill was killed of in
the IIouse. Why this was done it be-
hooves the Rcpres entative of this district
to explain.
Was it on account of the opposition
evineed by some of the citizens of this
region to the plan of Improvement sug-
gested and acted upon by Col. Fuller, or
did it arise from that apathy and indif-
ference, with which the interests of South
Arkansas has generally been treated by
her Representatives in Congress!
Whatever may have been the cause of
our failing to obtain the necessary appro-
priation to complete this much desired
and absolutely indispensable improvement,
we hope that whoever may be our future
