 PERMANENT SCHOOLS.

MR. EDITOR: -Des Arc is hourishing place, it's growth has been more rapid than that of any other town upon White river. and enterprising. A few years ago the bluff where now stands the prettiest town upon White river, had not sstick amiss." Four years ago and it's population, all told, was not over one hundred and fifty, now we have near fifteen hundred, everything indicating progress and glorious future is going on. Every where we see activity, enterprise and indus try displayed, in every direction is heard the mechanics hammer. Her course is still on- ward and upward, and is destined one day to be the great City of Arkansas. All that has ever been done for her, has been done by the energy and liberality of her citizens; we are not among the s'favored few,'' state legisla- ton has been against us The frowns of political nabobs and the little great men of the State are upon us. Nearly every town in the State, with the exception of ours, has had some notice taken of it by the Legislature, some small favor conferred, we must not look to our Legislature for anything, for the mere mention of the name ssDes Arc,' in connection with any measure, is sufficient to damn it in an Arkansas legislature. We must do as we have done, look to ourselves, we must build up permanent institutions of learning here, noth- ing tends more to build up town and make it permanent, than good institutions of learning
 They influence men of influence and capitol, to settle in such places, and such men induce others of the same kind to come. If we had good and permanent schools here, there would in a few years, be a marked change in the ap- pearance of things. Durable business houses would soon be erected, and the little shanties would give place to fine residences, business would become more brisk, and property would be worth more. It seems to me that there might be a sufficient subscription raised, to erect two large and commodious frame build ings, one for male, the other female school. These placed under the superintendence of competent teachers, would soon get reputa- tion abroad, that would bring pupils from distance, and induce numbers 10 settle here for the purpose of educating their children. have no objection to urge against our present teachers. so far as know, they arc doing we'll.

CAIRO AND FULTON RAILwAY.-This road runs from Birds Point. opposite Cairo, to the Arkansas boundary, about seventy eight miles, connecting there with sur veyed line through Arkansas to Galveston, Texas, distance of about 6l9 miles This route is richly endowed by grants of land, portion now under contract, and about sixty miles from Galveston now in operation. At Marshall, in Texas, 120 miles from the Arkansas boundary, this line is intersected by the Southern Pacific Railroad, which is already surveyed to Fl Paso, and is also endowed by grant of land from the State of Texas, (l0,140 acres per mile, ) leaving distance of only eight hundred miles of unsurveyed line, through government lands, to San Diego, in Lower California, which has a harbor and anchorage scarcely inferior to that of San Francisco. These facts will make the Cairo and Fulton road very impor- tant one.- Cincinnati Commercial.

ALEssANDRIA.- This place, the rem dezvous of the Sardinian army, whiher the king has gone 10 take command, is probably destined to play an important part in the. coming war. It is a fortified city near the eastern frontier of Piedmont, whose guns bristle towards the Austrian territory. It stands in the midst of a sterile plain. It is the great stronghold of Pied mont, and is to the Sardinians what Gibraltar is to the English, or Sebastopol was to the Russians. During the reign of the French in Italy, its formidable fortfica- tions made it one of the strongest places in Europe, but these were subsequently, demolished, leaving only the citadel. Within the past few years workmen have been busy in reconstructing them, in an tlcipation of the events now at hand. In the surrounding, two miles distant, is Ma. poleon's celebrated battle field of Marengo Alessandria Is garrisoned with several thousand troops, and being connected with Turin and Genoa by railway, any number can readily be concentrated there.

e The True Democrat states that the Journals of the last Legislature, will soon be published. We are pleased 10 learn that they will soon be forthcoming, being anxious to see the documents. They will be interesting to all, as matters Of deep and vital importance, were handled and disposed of by that notable body, not the least of which. was the Senatorial election. Our curiosity has been excited to know how il was, that Wm. K. Sebas- tan, the milk and cider Senator of dozen years standing, was reelected to the Sem ate of the United States, in opposition 10 talented, active and long tried democrats, by an out and out, purely democratic Leg isiature, representing a democratic con stituency. Various surmises have been indulged in-sundry matters have been suggested as leading 10 that event; none however, are entirely satisfactory. Late developments, with the assistance of the Journals, may possibly direct the public mind into ihe proper channel. .- South AIkansas Democrat.

 Children-A Negro Shot-Assassina-
 tions, Sc.
 From the Valley Tan, of May 3d, we learn that Dr. Forney the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, arrived in that city from his visit 10 the southern portion oi the Territory. The Indians are reported las peaceable. The Doctor brought with him three of the children, survivors of the Mountain Meadow massacre; others, thir- 'teen in number, are at the Indians farm, at the Spanish Fork, where they will re- main until the Commissioners arrive who have been appointed to receive and res tore them to their friends. The children nre intelligent, and have lively recol- lection of the bloody deeds that consigned their parents and friends to death.
 A negro boy, Shep, belonging to Capt. Hooper, was shot several days since, by another negro boy belonging to Colonel Johnson, and died from the effects of the wounds.
 It was reported that several white men openly boasted in the vicinity of Santa Clara, that they were present and assisted at the Mountain Meadow massacre.- - This thing, says the Valley Tan, has got to come to head, and 1t rests with the govemment officials who are promised 10 exercise some power in this Territory.

CAPTAIN TowNsEND's AcauIrTAL.- The trial of Capt. Townsend, the Master of the slave brig Echo, or Putnam, which was captured by Lieut.. Moffat off the coast of Cuba, with some three hundred Africans on board, took place at Key West on the 18th ult All the facts res pecting the capture were clearly proved, but the evidence presented as to the own- ership was declared to be defective, and without argument of counsel or summing up, the Judge directed the jury to find the prisoner not guilty, on the ground that there was no proof that the brig was owned, in whole or in part, by a citizen of the United States, or navigated in behalf of a citizen of the United States, which was material to be proved in order to maintain the indictment

THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION AT VICKSBURG, MISS. RE OPENING THE SLAVE TRADE. SC.

Speaking of the recent Southern Con- vention at Vicksburg the .New Orleans Picayune says:
 The proposition to reopen the slave trade, though it may receive the endorse ment of convention of irresponsible delegates-chosen without popular inter- vention and clothed with no shadow of authority will not be endorsed by the people of the South. The question in wolves too grave consequences to be hastily favored, even if it were not opposed to the law of the land, and absolutely revolution ary in its character. Perhaps no body of respectable gentlemen ever assembled for serious deliberation on any subject, in re- gard to whose action the people were so utterly indifferent, as they are to the Vicksburg convention. Whatever was once expected of such assemblies when they were first convoked, the public long since ceased to hope for any good or to fear any evil from their action.
 The Vicksburg True Southron, after quoting the above, replies;
 Very well for the Picayune. It has a right to its opinions, and with manly expression of those opinions, no man has right to quarrel But a convention of nine Southern States has deliberately spoken in favor of repeal of all laws, State and Federal, prohibiting the slave trade. It may be as the Picayune says, that the people will not endorse this action, but the proposition has gone forth with the deliberate sanction of the representatives of those States, and the small politicians and hoary conservatives of the day can no longer evade the issue.
 The time for fippant invective, and ribald denunciaton has gone by. The question is now before the people, A large number of gentlemen of character men as deeply interested in the South and her prosperity as any others--have put the ball in motion, and they will not shrink from the issue or its consequences. Those who will not join them, have, of course, perfect right to refuse, but we warn them in time, that those who do not get onethe train had better keep of the track! When the locomotive gets under way, they may possibly get run over.

OFFICERS TO BE SENT TO EUROPE. The Richmond Enquirer says:
 The profit already derived from the ex- perience ard commentaries ofa commission of American officers in the Crimean cam paign, is auesled by the many convenient ces, improvements and reforms suggested by them. and successfully applied to our military establishment, in the late expe- dition to Utah. The War Department, in properly acknowledging the services of these officers in the last European war, Is determined to gather more lessons from the present struggle, by sending directly to the scene of action men whose education, requirements and spirit fit them under slandingly to watch the awful drama. Three Virginians, Col. Steptoe, Capt. c. W. Carr and Lieut.. John Pegram, have already been ordered to the plains Of Sar- dinia.

BsS" A Havana correspondent of the the New Orleans Picayune learns that Gen. Concha has ordered all the members of the Cuban expedition, who recently found safety at Hayti, to be conveyed by a Spanish man-of-war to the United States. and that all their wants be provid- ed for. If this be true, 1t exhibits degree of generosity and nobleness of sentiment that had scarcely been anticipated, and will go far towards putting an end to fibustering.

 Mir. Neil, the teller of the City Bank, yesterday exhibited to us genuine twenty dollar note on the Bank of Chattanooga with forged signatures, of winch the bank had received $400 from New York. We learn that S750 in fifty dollar notes on the same bank, also forged signatures, passed through the hands of one or more of the banks here on Friday. The notes have been stolen from the bank. filled up and put in circulation in New York city, whence they are finding their way home. It is not probable that they will be found in circulation 10 any extent here, but the public may as well be guarded in reference to S20's and $50's, Bank of Chattanooga. The signatures are poor, and the name of the President, John Oyerton, was spelled on the note we saw Ouerfea. A dispatch from Memphis first appraised the banks here of the fraud.
