What the Arkansas Papers Say.
 The Fort Smith Herald says:
 We publish to-day, in another column an advertisement for the sale of all the mnhlic nro1 perty at Fort Arbuckle, c. N.. Fort Wasbita and at this place, consisting of corn. oats bav 1uel, wagons. horses oxen, etc, etc. etc. See the advertisement and learn the dates. IL an. pears from this, that we are not to have the posts on this frontier re-qaryisoael as has been stated by Arkansas and Arkansas Man. It Is immaterial to us whether we ever have any more troops at the post here, but we should have troops at Washita and Arbuckle, to preserve peace, for few years at least"
 We find the following notice in the States Rights Democrat:
 "The State Rights Democrat will be publish ed hereafter by the firm of T. c. Hindman ,ez Co. the former sole publisher having, on the Zod inst, associated with himself Messr. II S Harris and Moses Block These gentlemen nave acted as compositors in the office since the present editor took charge of the paper and have been promoted from the ranks for their competency, fidelity and devotion to the inter ests of the establishment.
 The paper will be under the same editorial management as heretofore"
 The Arkansaw Traveller gives an acconnt of a visit to Royston, the name given to the cotton factory in Pike county. We rejoice at this evil dence of enterprise. The Traveller refers to it thus:
 ', Under the guidance of 'John,' (John Pratt IS hls name) we passed through the entire build ins rom top to base. The cotton factory ma b,, In ;,N, ton carders, l railway drawing frame, single dfawlng frames, l specder spinning frames with 26f spindlcs, reels and l bale press. In the wool factory there are 2 sets of cards and the rolls are pressed into 5lb. bundles. by ma chlnery thus facilitating their transporraton.- The number of operatives in the factory is IS: and those attending the cotton factory are oene- rally boys and girls. 200 lbs. of cotton are con. Sumed in day, and about 50 bales of sn1n thread put up. The thread is highly spo ken of throughout the country as of superior quality.
 There IS saw and grist mill attached to the factory, and under the same roof The grist mIii runs pair cach of wheat and corn French Dur runners; thus creating market for all the surplus gram of the country The saw is a cFcuIar one, with cut of 2Oi5 inches. and cus tom work Is done in both mills There i, also d oo saw gin stand, and banding machine for the factory. Taken altogether, the factory is an enterprise of great utility to the country; ana Mr. Merrill deserves a liberal encourage meht rom the citizens of Arkansas. and north erh Texas, both in the cotton anI wool facto ries and in the oran mills.''
 The Pine Bluff Democrat says
 " We learn that the murran is prevailing ID some portions of this county to an alarming extent Several of our acquaintances west of town have lost their cattle''
 The Arkansaw Traveller is principally filled with matters relating to the senatorship from Pike and Clark counties. The editor seems to be ,n continual state of excitement at one time n bilss, feastlng upon strawberries, at another driven nearly to desperation by mail failures.-- Here IS what he says of the latter, where he seems to think his chance of getting to heaven is certain, whatever it may be of getting in the State Senate
 {" No mail arrived at this place, from Washington on Saturday or Sunday last, and consequently none from Little Rock
 Great country this! A little money malicious " expended, would bridge the two or three ra- Pd streams on the route; always swollen to a dangerous depth, by heavy rains; and our can d-d opinion k, that within one thousand years from this time they will be brdged. But. by that tune, we hope to be in better country than thls, where our existence will not be dependent upon fate mail matter; and when mail failures VIII no more veX us, nor drive us to the verge of desperatiou."
 We clip the following from the Helena Shield:
 kEIIGIoUs ENTHUsIAsM--It ia well caIcu- lated to make glad the hearts of all oood citi zcns, whether they are members of the church or not, to witness the deep and devoted interest manifested Tn religious matters in our town.- The meetings we alluded to last week have been kept up with a pious, commendabe zeal and calm and settled determination to do all that Is possible to produce good results. This Is truly cheering. Three times day-morn Ing, evening, and nght--diyine service is held ana the number of penitent mourners is large and increasing daily. Too much praise cannot De awarded to the ladies of Helena, for the interest they manifest in this meeting But women. heaven bless them.--are ever foremost n all good works. The beneficial results of thls religious awakening in our little city cannot oe over estimated; young men who have hitherto been wild, and apparently reckless nave suddenly, as 1t were, become convinced ol thelr deplorabc condition-have paused ere It Is too late-sought and found relief in the abundant promise of everlasting life
 We trust that the meetings may contnue- Tor good results must follow
 Several talented ministers are in attendance"
