OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES an2O
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-05-11
From the Memphis Appeal. Cane Hill Washington County, Ar kansas.
BY A. W. s.

There are many beautiful places in the State of Arkansas many rich, rolling prairies, checkered off into fertile fields, and dotted here and there with the houses and barns of an enterprising and intelli- gent population.
 The northwestern part of the State, abounds in picturesque scenery. The Ozark mountains extend through that section, and divide the cotton region from that in which small grain and Indian corn form the staple productions. Travelling north from Van Buren, on the Arkansas river, spur of this mountain range must be crossed. This spur is called the Boston Mountain, and separates Washington from Craw- ford county.
 Washington county lies north of Bos- ton mountain, having the Cherokee Nation immediately on the west. The land is generally fertile and no inconsiderable DOT tion of the county is prairie. In this coun- ty there is remarkable hill, bearing the name which stands at the head of this arti- cle. It rises amid prairie, being about six miles long and from three to four in width. Its greatest height is one hundred and fifty feet; in some places the ascent is gradual and easy, in others 1t is rugged and precipitous. The summit is almost level; and the soil is black, and equal in fertility to the celebrated American bottom in Illinois, or the valley of the Nile-itself The growth of timber on this remarkable hill, is similar to that found in the creek and river bottoms of that vicinity; 1t is black and white walnut, sassafras, ash oak, sweet gum, and the largest mulberry trees 1 have ever seen in any country.
 Cane Hill is remarkable for its abundance of clear and beautiful spring water There

Another Tremendous Gun.

Concerning newly invented piece of ar tlllery ln England the London Times re- marks: "Ihis marvellous discovery is Sir w. Armstrong's gun, weapon screened from the gaze of the public with such iea- lous care that any authentic descriptions of It's powers must be especially gratifying to popular curiosity. From Gen. Peel's own mouth, then, we now learn that there is no delusion about the efficacy of this tremen- dous instrument. In extent of range, de-
 structlve effect, portability, and precision, It appears to possess a combination of ad- vantages truly astounding. It weighs but one-thlrd of an ordinary cannon of cores bonding calibre; 1t is so manageable that 1t can be worked by far smaller number of hands, and 1t is so durable that thirteen handred discharges produced not the least injury to the specimen piece This gun, then, not being liable to damage or wear. like the ordnance of Sebastopol or Swea- burg, and not clogged with the ordinary drawbacks of weight or immovability. throws its shot with the most deadly accu- racy to distance scarcely credible. The days of the '' long range" have now actu- ally come. "A thirty-two pounder of Sir w. Armstrong's make will, when charged with five pounds of powder, carry ball more thdn f0e miles and quarter. What IS its accuracy at this distance we do not learn, but at 5000 yards, or nearly two miles, its precision is as great as that of the common gun at 1000 yards, while at 1000 yards it literally hits every time in iifty-seven an object which a common gun, in that number of discharges, would only hit once. In other words, the destructive ness of artillery has by this discovery been multiplied more than fifty fold The cal culatlons of power into which these data would lead us are almost overwhelming A thousand gunners would be able to work more than twice as many guns as formerly, and each of these guns would be equiva- lent Tn Its effects to fifty pieces of the old model. If all these conclusions are verified on large scale-and there seems no reason why they should not be-it is plain that the practice of arms will be as completely revolutionized as it was by the discovery of gunpowder itself" So successful and so important Is the invention considered by the British government that Sir William Armstrong, the inventor, has had the honor ot knighthood conferred by the Queen.

Another Item Concerning the Arkansas
 Children in Utah.

Inc following IS an extract from the charge of Judge John Cradlebaugh, to the grand jury, at Provo, in March last:
 ''l said to you in the outset that a great number of cases had come to my knowledge of crimes having been committed through the country, and l shall take the liberty of naming few of them. The persons com | mlltlng those offenses have not been prose- cuted, the reason why l cannot tell, but it strikes me that those outside influences have prevented it. If you do your duty you will not neglect to inquire into those mat ters, or allow the offenders to go unpunish- ed. l may mention the Mountain Meadow murder, where whole train was cut off. except few children who were too young to give evidence in court. It has been claimed that this oiiense. was committed by Indians, but there is evidence that there were others who were engaged in it be- sides.
 When the Indians commit crimes they are not so discriminate as to save children: they would not be so particular as to save the children and kill the rest. say you may look at all the crimes that have been committed in the western country by the Indians, and there is no ease where they have been so careful as to save the innocent children. But if this be not enough we have evidence to prove that there were others there engaged ill it.
 A large body of persons leaving Cedar city, armed, after getting away were orsa- nized, and went and returned with the spoil. Now there are persons who know that there were others engaged in the crime; 1 brought young man with me who saw persons go out in wagons with arms, others on horseback, were away day or two and came back with the spoil. The Indians complain that in the distribution of the property they did not get their share, they seem to think that the parties engaged with them kept the best and gave them the worst The chief there (Kanosh) is equally ame- nable to law, and liable to be punished, and l suppose it is well known that he was en- gagged in assisting to exterminate the hun dred persons that were in that train. | might name to you persons that were there; great number of them 1 have had named to me. And yet notwithstanding this crime has been committed, there has been no effort made to punish those individuals. | say, then, gentlemen, it is your duty to look after that, and if it is a fact that they have been guilty of that offense, indct them, send for them and have them brought before this court"

The Dead Indian.

The Placerville California Register was recently furnished the following, by a friend at Diamond Springs: "A. natioe American drunk came off on Sunday night last, upon the hill side, near the toll l-house, between Mud and Diamond Springs. The next morning was discovered the mortal rsmains of a defunct digger. Whether he took his departure for the celestial hunting grounds by accident or design, is not to be ascertained, as no live Indian has since been seen near the aforementioned spot. Con- trary to custom, he was decently buried, without ceremony, in the warm ground from whence the beautiful flowers spring. and where 1t isJbelieved all good Indians turn into angels, and fly away to the Ely sium of bows and arrows.
 Perished thus the luckless digger,
 Perished, too, from drinking whisky,
 Strychnine whisky, sharp as lightning,
 Ruin-blue and Mimic rifle
 Knock 'em-stiff, and flaming ed-eye-
 Such as kills 'em at the counter,
 Forty rods, or any distance,
 Perished thus the wretched Iniin

An Eloquent Extract.

"Generation after generation" says a fine writer, have felt as we now feel, and their lives were as active as our own.- They passed like vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Gre ator commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they are now around our paths The world will have the same attraction for our offspring yet unborne, that she had once for our chil- dren. Yet little while, and all will have happened-the throbbing heart will be stifled and we shall be at rest Our fune. ral will wind it's way, and the prayers will be said, and then we shall be left behind in silence and darkness for the worm And, 1t may be, for short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names will soon be forgotten. Days will continue to move on, and laugh ter and song will be heard in the room in which we died; and the eye that mourned for Us will be dried, and glisten again with joy; and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names''

From the Memphis Presbyterian Sentinel. Arkansas Presbvterv.


 The Presbytery of Arkansas met at Wat tensaw church, (seven miles southwest of Des Arc, on Friday, the 9th of April, 1859, and was opened with sermon by Rev. Thomas Fraser. The Presbytery was the largest we have ever attended in the State, being composed of seven ministers and six elders.
 Rev. B. N. Sawtelle was chosen mode rator, and Thomas. R. Welch temporary clerk. Rev. T. H. Urmston, licentiate under the care of the Presbytery of Mis- sissippi, was received under our care: and call from the church at Van Buren was placed in his hands, which he accepted.
 A call from. the church at Fort Smith was put into the hands of w. A. Sample. which was accepted by him, whereupon the Presbytery proceeded to examine them. with view to their ordination.
 The moderator conducted the cxamina tion on experimental religion; Rev. D. l.. Gray on theology and church government; Rev. J. w. Moore on Greek and Hebrew: and Rev. Thomas Fraser on ecclesiastical history. The examination on all these subjects having been sustained, the Presbv tery assigned to brother Urmston the nine ty-fifth Psalm, sixth verse, and to brother Sample the twenty. seventh Psalm, fourth verse, as texts to preach from before the Presbytery. Both sermons were sustained: whereupon the Presbytery resolved to or dain them to the full work of the ministry. The moderator presided, and proposed the constitutional questions Rev. T. R. Welch preached the sermon, and Rev. C. Wash burn made the opening prayer. Rev c. Washburn, T. Fraser, and w. A. Sample, were appointed a committee to install Rev. T. Il. Urmston over the church at Van Buren; and Rev. T. Fraser, c. Washburn, and T. Il. Urmston, were appointed con- mittee to install Rev. w. A. Sample over the church at Fort Smith.
 Rev. J. w. Moore preached very in teresting and instructive sermon before the Presbytery, on the history of the Presbyte- rian church in Arkansas.
 Rev. T. R. Welch was appointed com missioner of the General Assembly: and Elder w. A. Lyon was appointed to the same office.
 The Presbytery answered the overture on the demission of the ministerial office, in the affirmative
 The following supplies were appointed: Revs. D. L. Gray and B. N Sawtelle one Sabbath each at Jacksonport; Revs. T. II. Urmston and ". A. Sample one Sabbath each at Cincinnati.
 After passing the usual vote of thanks to the members of the church for their gener- ous hospitality, in entertaining the mem- bers of the Presbytery, during it's session, the Presbytery adjourned, to meet at Syl vanla church, on the Thursday before the second Sabbath of April, 1860, at eleven o'clock, A.

CHAS. B. MITCHELL.

Es- An interesting fact was developed at the late meeting of the Pennsylvania Ag- ricultural Society. Dr. Elwyn called the attention of the members to the fact that wheat crops of this country were fast di- minishing, SC far as the number of bushels raised to the acre was concerned. He stated that in Ohio, state but little over fifty years old, the crop had fallen off from forty bushels to the acre to about sixteen, while the best portion of New York, where thirty bushels used to be considered fair crop, only twelve are now raised. The fall ing off in other States has been equally marked; but while this was the fact with the wheat crops, he was glad to know that the amount of corn produced to the acre had largely increased. and was still increas- ing enormously. n ~
