" oA iesS states that J ohn 5. Ogden has been appointed clerk of the U. $. district court, yice A. McToo, do ceased. The Press tells of some negroes who were confined in the lookup at Fort Smith being accosted by some white men who asked them if they wished to get out These white men, by means of false tavs opened the door and liberated the neoroes The negroes refused to go with these thieves or abolitionists, or even to run off but want to the hotel where their master was stav- ing and told him the story. We have ey- CT counseled obedience to the laws and have, on all occasions, opposed the spread of the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch, but with such fellows as these when caught -.
 The Brownsville Echo complains of the mail failures between this city and that point. The following is from the Echo:
 "M. & L. R. R.-The grading of this road under the superintendence of Messrs. Apple & Laney is progressing rapidly, in spite ot Inc Irish fracas last week. We hope no more occurances of the kind will happen to impede the progress ofthis road"
 And the Madison Journal has this on the same subject
 "Thc NJ. & L. R. R. is doing fine bn- siness. We informed by the agent that 1t IS paying $ per cent. on the money invest ed Tn the road. One train, and that large one, is not able to carry all the freights that are shipped each day"
 Opposite this city the contractor has hands at work clearing out the track and preparing to grade the road We are told there are men st work all along the line between this and White river. The Mem ph's and Little Rock road may be set down as a fact accomplished. The Little Rock and Fort smith road is begun and the sale of valuable lands will afford them means to carry 1t on. The Cairo and Fulton road has adopted liberal policy to pre-em ptors on the lands. and the president expresses his determination to regain the public con tldence and push the work. The Missis- sippi, Ouachita and Red river road shows an encouraging state of affairs, and the president gives assurance of it's soon being finished. There is an absurd idea that to advocate the building of one of these roads n Oth jealousy and the rivalry that exists should only serve as . stimulous to greater exer- lions on the part of each If one road is built 1t will lead to the building of others.
 The Eldorado Times suggests the bmild- ing of d railroad from Trenton, by way of Eldorado, to Camden.
 The Arkansian gives an extract from Kansas paper, in which the abolitonists in sist that they must and will have the neu, tral lands of the Cherokees. Six or seven hundred free soilers are squatted on these lands and now demand their sale. The Arkansian says:
 There are suspicious men in this coun- try, in this county, in this town. They, rest assured, belong secretly to that same 'or- ganlzation' which shed blood at Harper's Ferry; which threatens to do so on the Ar kansas frontier which has laid a regular and systematic plot to raise the negroes on our plantations and farms; which instituted a provisional government with elected off, cers, and which has sworn intending, un- compromising war and death to slavery; and they are numbered among those who are to assist in that 'irrepressible conflict against the south and her sacred institu- tlons. Aye, there are such men among us, and they are marked. Let Mene tahc heed! Here they will find different spirits from the cravens of Kansas"
 The Batesville Democratic Sentinel has an excellent article on "the irrepressible conHict'' which we regret we have not space to reprint it in The White river meeting was held, members of directory elected and the Seminal expresses the belief that sum sufficient to effect the contemplated improvement will be speedily raised.
 The State Rights Eagle acknowledges the receipt of little " tater' weighing only six and a half pounds. We wish the edi- tor could see some of Dr. J Jordan's largest. The Eagle notices the fact of our saving Little Rock will soon be lighted with gas Or If if if cr;+, l,;o, Lot+o, rJV.4 .4 prise is fixed fact and the next move on the board is a telegraph. If the editor of the Eagle was not averse to forming con nections we would ask him to connect with the Memphis and Little Rock telegraph line and carry it to Camden.
 The Fort Smith Times says the streets of that city are crowded, at times, with emigrant wagons and droves of sheep, etc., destined for Texas and Louisiana. Droves of sheep, some of them with two or three thousand passed through here on their way to Texas Green J. Clark has letter in the Times setting forth the advantages of western Arkansas as stock raising coun- try. His arguments are unans swerable. In an article upon the Harper's Ferry invasion, the Times has the following:
 "There is no doubt hundreds of emis.a ries,are in the south, secretly at work among the slaves, and every individual suspected should be made to leave. The frontier States are more exposed than those farther south and nothing has given the abolition lsts so much power, as this temporizing with the subject of slavery, by the people of the south, to meet the views of the north. In this region, the people should be on the look out, as we are near the Kansas line, and as there are abolitionists in the Chero- kee nation, thick, headed by Even Jones, a Baptist missionary, foreigner, who, no doubt would lend aid and comfort to the emissaries of black republican abolition ists"
 LATEST OF THE GREAT EASTERN The directors of the Great Eastern held a meet ing on board at Hollyhead, England, on the 19th ult., and it is authoratively an nounced that the departure of the vessel had been postponed sine de. and orders given that all passage money received be returned.
