We yesterday enjoyed the pleasure Of wit
Messing the remarkable exhibition Of skill ia
horse-tsming BY Mr.. T. B. RAEEF, at the
Gaisty stable Of Mr.. CHAzIEs MAY on Second
street. Mr.. BAREY undoubtedly possesses q
skill and power IN the management Of a vicious
horse which is wonderful to behold. He tamss
the most invstsrste wild horse il few minutes,
and renders him psrfseay gentle Rha naHsss-
able By a child. His art is wei worthy the
study Of al whose duty it lie 10 manage the
horse, and we would advise all who have the
leisure to attend his lectures and exhibition, at
the Gaiety stable, on tomorrow and Tuesday
evenings, when be will, in one OF two lessons,
impsrt his knOElsdgs and skill for the moderate
sun Of s.. Mr.. RARET is a younger brother
OF the world-renoEned RAAEY, Of whose fame
all our readers are eogsizaut.
One Of the horses upon which Mr.. RAREY
exercised bis skill, was a very vicious horse
the property of Mr.. J. TUcKER-which had &C.
vsrely injured two or three negroes By kicking.
Mr.. RAREY manipulated the horse a few min
utes, and otherwise gained his confidence &C
strongly, that be lay down on him, with bis
head between bis legs, walked over him, aud
sEhibi<d a complete mastery over him; finally
concluding BY turning the hOrEe loose and win
ming hin to follow bin as long as be desired,
and around the stable, to the great wonder AID
admiration Of all present He also cured a
most obstinate horse Of an inVeterate practice
Of pulling and breaking bis halter, SO that the
company present could not force him, By any
means, to repeat bis habit.
The power Of Mr.. RAEET is one Of the most
wonderful gis:s we ever witnessed, and yet is
founded upon = ~ratiOzal and easily understood
philosophy. We trust he will have a large
class tomorrow evening at 2 o'clock.

truth Of the plea as is required BY law in such

This made one OF two things esrtain-eithsE

Ovsrland VAN Route.

The undersigned, citizens and late members
OF the Grand Jury Of Pulaski coanty, desire,
before separating for their respective homes,
to call the attention Of the citizens Of this
county, members of the Legislature and their
fellow-citizens Of this State generally, to the
Importance of a direct Communication with
the cities upon the Western shores of this
continent
Il will be within the recollection Of our eiti-
zens that a ssmi-weekly % overland nail - was
determined upon, BY the General Government,
the initial, or starting points being s.. Louis,
Mo-, and Memphis, Tenn; concentrating and
uniting in this city. This point Was adopted
by the P. NJ. General, after a careful and dill
gent inquiry into all the proposed routes aud
schemes submitted for that purpose ; showing
alike the wisdom and ssgacity Of that officer,
In making this selection. The contract, after
much inquiry and competition, was awarded
70 Butterheld a Co, for a series Of years.
This contract is now in part in operstion-We
say IN part, because IL Is not performed as in
tended, and carried out as it should be.
We have no California NAL connected with
this city-nOne at all. The correspondence Of
the officers of the General Government goes
by the eireuitous route Of st. Louis, instead Of
upon a direct line by way Of Little Rock and
Memphis. The contract is strict, the mails
are put in other conveyanes from Memphis to
Fort Smith, no regular line runs from Memphis
to this point as The contract requires It should
be.
Private speculation appears to Lave Pros
trated a great national enterprise lukeWarm-
ness, if not al entire indifference, appears to
have taken possession Of our public guardians.
Instead Of Little Rock being the central start
ing point, as originally intended, she is entire
y omitted, thrown in the shade aud cast aside.
We desire respectfully but earnestly to call
the attention Of Our Senators and Representa-
tiyes in Congress to this important subject,
fully assured that they will use their best ex-
%ertiOns to remedy so glaring an inconsistency
as is now attempted to be pracliced upon the
general government and our citizens Ia paTtic-
ular.
Had the citizens Of this portion Of the State
been as commercially Industrious in season and
out Of season as our neighboTs of Fort Smith,
a very different state Of sfEairs would now be
found to exist.
Look at the map Of the United States, and
every intelligent person will at once observe
that the first decision Of the Postmaster Gen
eral was right and proper /; every departure
from that decision was a step In the wrong d.
Teetion. Tie Memphis and Little Rock Rail-
road viii, we feel assured. soon be completed
20 mis- point, hence, here il another reason, if
one were wanting, why this point should be
fixed and immoVsble ia the great scheme Of a
direct communication with the Pacific ocean
but why argue a position that is seif-evident
and convincing 10 all.
The undersigned would respectfully ask the
and those friendly to our views in Memphis
