For the Van Buyea Pyess.

MR. DUNHAM Dear Sir In your pa
per of last week. a correspondent signing
himself '35th PARALLEL" in alluding to the
prospective extension of the South west
Branch OF the Pacific Railroad of Missouri
to point on the Canadian River. takes oc-
casion to direct the attention of "our Rail-
road Company" to the duty which they are
presumed to owe to Van Buren in the prem
ises. Although the people of Fort Smith
have sense enough to know that communi-
cations of the character mentioned above are
made without the knowledge of "osr Com
pany," they may imagine that they are
significant of the sentiments of the Direct
ors, and they are well calculated to foster
feeling If hostility to the company, on the
part of the people of Sebastian county; and
for this reason such communications are
doubtless very onnoying to the Directors of
the Company.
do not wish to provoke discussion
with any one, but am warranted in say
ing, that it has never been the design O; the
Railroad Company to extend the railroad
on this sisle oi the river. for the purpose of
cat,ing off Fort Smith. but, on the contra
~, it is their intention to cross tine river ..
,his point, AMI carry it to Fort Smith. a.
cor'iing to the requirements OF their charter
AMI the law Of Congress, making the lanl
grant. Our sister city may conf iently rely
upon the COOL faith of the com pany in this
respect. and am assured that, whenever
she manifests desire to aid the efforts of
the company. she will be cordially permit
tel to have her due share Of influence in the
control Of its affairs. H.

MADAME OMAN PAsHA-Amony the

MADAME OMAR PAsHA.-Among the dis
tinguished arrivals by one oil the recent
steamers from Europe. is Madame Omar
Pasha, wife OF the celeb ate Turkish COM
mander who won so many laures in Silis-
tria. We understand that she has come to
reside in this country, at least for the pres
cnt. Her history is somewhat remarkable.
She is native of Transylvania, and at IL
years of age, was sent to school at Bucha-
rest, where she developed a wonderful ge-
Mus for music, and at fifteen had become
celebrated in private circles by the brilian
cy of her performances. Omar Pasha was
at that time Military Commander of Wal
lachia and meeting tue young lady at a
soiree, was delighted, first with her music.
and then with her manners and conversa-
tion-bccame devoted to her. and finally
married her. Not sharing at this time the
Turkish notions about women instead of
shutting up his wife at home, she was al
lowed to accompany him in his military
expeditions, and composed several pieces of
military music, which became lavorites with
the Turkish army during their campaie N.
After the war was over, the Marshal, yield
ing to more ambitious views, and conform
ing to the custom of his country, married
the daughter Of Hafiz Pasha. with whom
he had maintained political relations. and
directed the young Transylvanian to enter
his harcm. This, with good deal Of in
dignation and spirit. she refused to do. but
at once sought and procured a divorce from
the Marshal, and some two years since, re-
paired to Paris, where she has since resided
She has lived entirely in private, but has
published several very popular pieces Of
music. and has become well known in the
musical circles Of the metropolis. She ar
rived in this city by the Arago few weeks
since. and intends to spend the winter here.
