dnced into our State the first of the northern isuas. The circular states that 2oO acres of land have been purchased in northwestern Arkansas as nucleus or starting point--that the same will be parceled out in 20 acre lots to individu- al reformers or families, at the cost price-one dollar Ter acre. The avowed object is to es- tablish reform neighborhoods,' where, isolated from the society of others, they can create nnblc sentiment of their own. What this sen timent may be is tho problem to be solved. If detrimental to the best interests of society and the State, as portions of the circular seem to justify the belief it may be, Arkansas IS no place for them. We have ample room for vlr- tuous, industrious and enterprsing immigrants but not an inch of soil to be polluted by free loveism, aboltionsm or any other ot those northern isnas that are a scab on society and a disgrace to humanity Before we give counte- nance to this socialstic scheme we must be bet ter informed of it's objects and purposes" The Sage of Monticello says that town is quite healthy and has ever been so. The same paper gives the following encouraging account of the schools at that place:
 "The schools of this place arc again under headway. They both opened on Monday last The female school opened with about fifty students, and there are additions daily. The prospect is more attering than 1t ever has been | In the male school, as we understand, there arc thirty-four students, which, considering the | amount of sickness there is in the country around is good beginning. There is room both in school and at boarding houses in town for one hundred more. Excellent board car be had at SlO per month.

Air-Ships.

Our trans Mississippi friends, having shouted themselves hoarse, burnt their powder and pub- lie buildings and spent their money in rejoicing over the success of the laying of the tlantc telegraph cable, at cost to Uncle Sam of at least half a million of dollars, may now pre- pare themselves for another jubilee.
 When balloon or ar-ship shall reach this continent from Europe, and so demonstrate the practicability of erial communication, we too will unite with them in demonstrations of joy. That il will be done has ceased to be ques- tion of fact and is now only question of time. Two days from Europe will give us news early enough without having recourse to the teIe- graph. And the ends of balloon line may be placed anywhere on our own soil, nor will the government pay subsidy of S7OOOO a year for privilege in it.
 Our incredulous friends need not shake their heads, for the thing must be done. With a line of air.ships from Europe to New Orleans, or other points, and telegraph line to connect us with M Memphis, Little Rock can be put in communication with all the world
 We can receive European news in forty eight hours from London or Havre. The tele- graph we mean to have, and az to the air-ships the following will show what progress is mak- ing in navigating the air:
 "Monsieur Garvani, French machinist has, 1t is said, perfected his aerial ship at cost of 3O0,000 francs and made voyage to Algiers, Africa and back with it--a distance of fifteen hundred miles from the starting point The average speed was almost one hundred miles an hour the voyage occupying eighteen hours M Garvani is to make the attempt from Havre to the city of New York, as soon as he has further tested the character of his invention by a few shsrt trips over the Mediterranean and its ueighboring provinces"

What the Arkansas Papers Say.

The South Arkansas Democrat takes strong ground in favor of the removal of the Red river raft We have not the report of Col. Hervey alluded to by the Democrat, but it seems to us that some feasible plan could be suggested for its removal. We arc certain that our delega- ton in Congress will exert themselves in that behalf and hope the editor of the South Arkan- sas Democrat may succeed in awakening the people of that section to the importance of pres ent action. We should be glad to hear that steps were being taken to move this great stumb- ling block in the path of the progress of the State and if our efforts will avail anything will gladly second the movement set on foot by our cotemporary.
 The Powhatan Advertiser has an account of the pursuit of two thieves and the shooting of one of them. There was late murder in Se- bastan county, another in Prairie and homi- eide in Benton county. We were in hopes that we should have no more of such affairs to chronicle. We shall take an early occasion to propose some remedies for these acts of vio- lence.
 We copy from the same paper an article on the speakership of the House of Representa- lives:

CHESS.

Since the advent of MT. Morphy among tho chess players of England, and the accounts of his victories over chess veterans, the players on this side of the Atlantic have become quite en- thusiastic. We notice accounts of the formation of chess-clubs in all the principal towns. The noble game is greatly growing in favor, so much SO. tha. many of the journals, those in New Or leans specially, devote portion of their columns to giving problems and their solutions, with other matters of interest to chess players.
 There is chess club in this city, which meets every Friday night at the office of James 5. Johnson. esq. The members are Messrs. Huey, Case Tanti. Williams, Brown, Johnson Wood ward and others
 The report of the games played by Mr. Mor- phy and the notes to the moves are by Mr. Stanton, the English player and may be preju- dicial. but the following from the La. Courier, shows that Morphy has beaten more than one of the best English players:
 "MR. MoRpHY's DoINGs IN ENGLAND.-Since the arrival of Mir. Morphy, the young American Philiior, in England, says Bells Life, of Au- gust 23d, he has played. constantly, with all who have dared to present themselves, and his career so far has been one of unmiXed triumph. The skeptcs who turned up their noses at the very idea of boy of twenty being first rate, are now mutterng in bated tones about exceptions to the usual rule," and so forth. We candid lv own we consider MT. Morphy phenomenon, and are delighted to hail in him certainly the finest player since Mcdonnell and La Bourdon- nals. Results in chess speak for themselves; and great talent is neither to be written down nor inferior talent written up save for a season. Mir. Morphy has favored us with the exact score of all the games he has played since he came to the old country, not thinking it worth while to include number of games played, giving the large odds of rock or knight, all of which he has won. Beginning with Herr Lowenthal- while we write the match is not over; but Mor- phy has but one more party to win. They have played twelve games, of which Morphy scores eight, draws one, and loses three. With Mr.. Barnes of the St, Georges Club Mir. Morphy has played twenty-six games, winning nineteen and losing seven. With Mir. Boaden, Morphy played nine games, winning five losing one and drawing three. 0ftwelve games contested with Mir. Bird, Morphy gained DO less than ten, drawing one and losing one. With MT. Hamp- ton the American has played and won two games; and of six played against the veteran, Herr Lowe, the American wins six! With the Rev. Mir. Owen Morphy played five games, win ming four and losing one; and then giving pawn and move for match of five games, won all | five, drew two and lost none.

What does it Meano

We copy the following from the Cincinnati Times:
 IMPORTED PAUPERs.-An individual, repre- senting himself from Arkansas, yesterday ap- piled to the overseer of the poor of the Fourth Ward for relief for himself and slaves. He stated that he had come to this city for the purpose of manumting woman and her five children who were his slaves in Arkansas. He had brought them with him, and both he ant they were now destitute
 The Fourth Ward overseer represented his case to the directors of the City lnfmarv. who at once very properly declined extending any relief to the master and his slaves, but ordered the latter to leave the city. The directors are of the opinion that We have a sufficient number of legitimate paupers in our midst without inn porting others to be an expense to the city.
 Fms IS certainly very singular case A master brings his slaves to this city, both he and they being destitute, and at once asks relief from the authorities becoming burden upon our community the very moment he and they set foot upon our soil. Would it not have been better for the slaves, at least, if before setting them on our shores, he had provided some means for their maintenance?
 In the first place we doubt that the reputed owner of these reputed slaves was an Arkan- sian. It was free negro dodge, and the dig nitaries of Porkopos smelt the nigger in it, Every now and then these underground rail- road men are badly victmized Free negroes plot with white man to represent themselves as slaves and the white man as the pursuipp owner. The negro arrives apparently from the Kentucky shore, and says that his master is in hot pursuit of him. He is furnished with food clothing and ticket on the underground rail- road, with sum of money to pay expenses.
 In a few hours the self-styled master ar rives and either pretends to give up the chase in despair, or talks of legal prosecution or pro- ceeding to extremties till he is bought off or pretends to think it so hopeless that he sells his right to the runaway for S25
 As soon as the game is played out the con- federates go to some other point and re-enact these scenes One free negro in Covingtop. Ky, IS said to have been manumitted at least a dozen times by some pretended owner.
 We opine that this was new dodge of some white Yankee and negroes too lazy to work, who endeavored to raise the wind
 If this was not the case, the concluding part of the article shows most decided change in the views of the Cincinnatians. They ordered the slaves to leave the city. It appears they did not want the negroes freed, but on the con- trary, said they had paupers enough. There is material for a good deal of thought in the article quoted

Burton's Cyclopedia of Wit and Humor

Ii, this week or next, our readers should lind dearth of editorial matter or want of at tention to passing events, in our columns, they must blame John E. Reardon therefor. Hap pening in his bookstore the other day We were induced to buy the work named at the head of this article. Three volumes or divisions are published containing all the funny and comi- cal things worth preserving. It is not, as some suppose a collection of anecdotes like Joe Mil ler's celebrated work, that seem to lose all their wit when strung together, but collec- ton of all the best comic tales and sketches.
 Each division has steel portraits of the most distinguished comic authors and each sketch or story is illustrated by Darley or Cruikshank.- It is repertory of wit-a cabinet of fun-a magazine of drolery-a cyclopedia of hu,nor Of course, we could do nothing else until we had read it through.
 Inasmuch as we bought this work and are not paid to puff it, this notice may fairly be con- sidered as disinterested.
 We will add that Reardon's new stock has lust arrived, and our readers can examine bis splendid assortment for themselves.

GEF A fancy dance in Tennessee" is the caption we find to a couple of paragraphs n sl exchange. which appear to be copied from letter written from Lookout Mountain by Ben Lane. Who is Ben. Lane?l He thus speaS' of one Of the fancy dances that appear to be 'iA the go'' at Lookout:
 The gentlemen encircles the lady's waa with his right arm, and takes her right hand his left. Her left arm rests upon his right am and her cheek upon his shoulder. This y'i will say IS delightlul-with pretty qrl; D" this IS not all. The music strikes up the dns begins, and the gentleman, by extending hs Iel' arm, brings the lady's face in contact wiih nS own, her curls, if she has any, winding rouna hIs neck. This would be called kissing, Il H were not dancing.
 The opinion of the hoosier who asked WA'' he thought of this kind of dancing is very eA' pressive. He said that he thought the danC, ing wern't much, but the hugging was gorlouN offer no criticisms upon the feminine denc'I or proprirty of this mode of dancing. It d0~ not lie in my mounth to condemn danclns-- being so guilty sinner, myself, in that re5id- If were lady, knight object to these danes but being man, do not. We certainly oasI to be satisfied ifthey are. There Is no estso''u ed standard of propriety about this mattel S0l It Is left to individual taste and local custom In some places. they are approved--in o'n'' condemned in all tolerated"

Tyr Mour,uvr or THE MEcHAN1cs.-We

THE MOVEMENT OF THE MEcHANIcs.-We nublished last week series of resolutions adopt ed by portion of the mechanics of this city, in which one of the objects set forth is to expel all negro mechanics from the trade. Directly, we are not at all interested in the movement, but The movement, carried out te it's full extent, would abolish slavery in the soutb If the me- chanic can justly complain of the competition of slave labor, those engaged in every other in- dustrial pursuit can complain of the same with equal justice-there are those even who can complain of the negro upon the farm
 The movement too goes directly to the en- couragement of the abolitionist of the north will encourage greatly those abolitionists in the nelgborng State of Missouri, who are even now openly contcnding for the abolitionzng of that State. The argument used here by our me- chanics to prevent the slave from coming in competition with the free white mechanic is dentically the same used there all over the State to every class of laborers.
 Ne uO HOt WISH tO Intimate that the me- chanics of Little Rock would desire to see their movement carried to the limits we have indi- cated. Far from it, but if they should be sue cassful in their effort, how could they prevent a similar movement on the part of those engag- ed in other branches of industry? Where would be the end? Who could assign limit? ? Could the mechanic, or would he not rather be the last man who would have a right to throw a single obstacle in the way to a general aboli- tion of the whole system of slavery?
 Slave labor cannot compete successfully with white labor in any of the trades. The slave lacks the intelligence. The mechanics of the south have never suffered by such a compet- tion. They are to-day better ohf-far better off than their fellow craftsmen of the north.- Who ever heard of starving multitude parad- ing the streets of southern city and crying for bread as we have seen it and known it to be done in the free cities of the north? The his tory of our country proves that the condition of all classes of laborers is far better and more elevated in the south than in the north, notwith- standing the competition of slave labor. We think the mechanics of Little Rock have been causelessly alarmed. So long as our city continues to improve as it is now doing they will all get as much employment as they can desire. They will never have idleness forced upon them, ill our opinion.
