 On Wednesday, in company with our friend A. B. HOPE, we journeyed from Searcy to West Point. This place has improved in population, business, &c., astcnishingiy du- ring the past year. In commercial point of view it possesses many advantages over the neighboring town of Searcy, and must, in few years, at least, eclipse it's older competi- tor. The navigation of Little Red river to West Point is good the year round-while boats can only reach Searcy landing-three miles from the town--in high water. As soon as a good road is constructed to West Point from searcy, the trade is compelled to con- centrate at the head of constant navigation.
 On Thursday night we attended party near West Point, at the newly erected residence of B. IA. RODGERS, Esq, where we Hiet dh oiidy of beauty and intelligence which was " de- lightful to look upon.' The dancing was kept up until the st bright light of morn bedecked the eastern horizon" All were delighted with the fine array of " eatibes and drinkables" prepared for the occasion, and by common con- sent voted that B. K. should build new resi- dence every year. Success, say we, to enter prise and energy.
 On Friday night, in company with Capt. J. R. JONES of the steamer ReturR, and our townsman S. P. CATLIN, Esq, together with a couple of young ladies in their charge, we took passage on the steamer Admiral, Capt. PETE FLEMING, and were safely landed at Des Arc on the morning of January l, 1859, well pleased with our holiday trip.

Wreck of the Sc6ooaer SusGn-Return oJ the Passengers.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan 3.--A vessel has arrived at Mobile from Ruatan, whici, reports that the schooner Susan had land ed her passengers at Puerto Cabello, Honduras, who forthwith prepared to cross the country to Leon. in Nicaragua. The arms, which were abstracted from the ar- senal some months ago, are in the hands of the Leon Democrats, who only await the arrival of the Americans to declare against Martinez. A large number of Democrats at Octocol, on the frontier of Honduras, are ready to unite with the Americans. Col. Natsmer had been sent forward by Col. Anderson to arrange with Lionoz.
 LATER AND IMPORTANT.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press sends the following, dated at Belize, British Honduras, on the 20th: The schooner Susan was wrecked on Glover's s Coral reef, sixty miles from Belize, on the morning of the 16th. All the passen- gers were saved. The vessel is -tetaall loss. Captain Maury endeavored to char ter another vessel to carry the passengers on: Governor Seymour rendered the Brit sh steamer Basalisk to convey the pas. sengers to any Southern port of the Uni ted States. An American Captain, name not known, chose to circulate prejudicial reports about them, but Governor Sey- mour regarded them only as shipwrecked citizens of friendly nation, and offered them every assistance. The passengers will return 10 Mobile.

 F. CARR, in neat and concise address, re- turned the thanks of his Church and the peo- pie of Des Arc, to Capt. JONES, for the be- stowal of the useful and valuable presents. He was followed by Miss E. SANDERS, who addressed Capt. Jones, substantially as fol- lows:
 Srn:-As the humble organ of my sex, stand to express with beggared language our entire insolvency to you for such unparalleled liberality in the gift of these useful decora- tions to our Church. Our gratitude for such benevolence is all we can bestow; and we are sure you seek none other than this. We ad- mire and applaud the soldier, the statesman, the poet, and the philosopher, but we love the philanthropist-as such we regard you; then sir, you have the best feeling of our hearts; by such acts as these you have name and fame that shall live after death;--the memory of this giftis recorded on High. You, in obey ing this impulse have yielded yourself to one of the most ennobling principles that can ami mate a being destined for immortality. You have our united wishes for you present and future good-and as you have dispersed dark ness from our benighted Church and placed light therein, may you at this illuminated all tar, find that light, which will dispel eternal darkness and light you to Haven of rest.
 And, sir, should this be the selected place for you to ascend the hymenial altar, may these beautiful lamps reflect their golden light on one who will make earth paradise to you
 After the above address, the meeting Wa: closed with benediction.
 We congratulate Capt. Jones upon the cour- age he displayed throughout the entire pro- ceedings; as ''those who live upon the waters are unused, generally, to receive thanks iron those on land, especially of that particular kind of which the Captain was the happy re- cipient from our friends of the Methods Episcopal Church in Des Arc. We trus Captain Jones will not be forgetful of the sug gestion in the last paragraph of Miss SANDERS address.
