TRUE DEMOCRAT.
Arkansas County.


 NIEssEs. EDIroRs: The following ab- stract of the tax book of Arkansas county for 1859, will show that said county is one of the most fourishing counties of this State
 The crops this year, so far, are splendid, and if the season continue favorable the yield both of cotton and grain of all kinds will almost double that of last year
 A continual stream of emigration has been pouring into this county from the overhowed bottoms of the Mississippi river. and from Mississippi, Alabama, G org a and other States, and a number of families from the western portion of this State, have settled among US. Yet we have ample room for hundreds of others. Good land can be had cheap and on good terms, and there are some small tracts of good government and State lands that might be entered. Those wishing to secure good homes in our coun- ty, would do well to do so soon, as the prices of lands are certain to go mp.
 The county court has made arrangements to have good substantial brick court house built at De Witt, our county seat which will cost about Sl2,0O0, and will be com pleted by the 1st of October, 1860; this will make the county taxes high this year, but hereafter they will be reduced, in all proba bility, to their usual low rate of one tenth of one per cent. But here is the tax book. Total voluo of lap1 +ava1
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-07-06

crops of wheat were very good, whilst others were materially injured by the Hes- sian fly. The oat crop on the uplands, is badly injured by the rust, though we de- pend on gathering full half crop, which is much better than many other portions of the country as far as heard from. Cotton is hardly considered one of the staple pro- dustlons of our county, yet VIC look with considerable interest to the present growing crop; there was never finer prospect for the amount in cultivation. One of our planting farmers the other day said he was expecting every day to see blooms in his cotton.
 There is now completed and in opera tion in the town of Powhatan, Touring merchant mill, which is run by steam, and gentlemen who are judges of such mills, say that it is inferior to none in the west, and for this great enterprise the people of old Lawrence are indebted to Messrs. Up- son & Mount, late of New Orleans. Well do they merit not only the applause ol every intelligent and enterprising citizen, but the patronage of the public generally.
 Our new jail is now completed, and on last Monday received by the county court, and as a matter of course, ready for the reception of patronage. But short time elapsed till there was two applicants, and they being found worthy, was conducted into the sanctum, by sheriff Steadman, and doubtless ere this they are fully convinced of it's being a good job. The next thing for old Lawrence, Is to build court house, and l believe if the proper course is pur- sued by our officials, within twelve months from now, we can have it under contract.
 In politics there seems to be general calm, as there Is no contending party of any prominence here It is true there is a few Hindman, per diem, juntos, but they keep very still, doubtless watching the movements of their leader to see which way the wind will blow
 We are waiting with anxious patience to see list of appointments for public speaking made by Col Oates, although the Colonel has never been among us, yet his name appears as familiar among the sovereigns as though he had been Governor of Arkansas Duval having baullled down, some think the Colonel will not come around by himself. say 1t will make no difference, they have assaied him in every shape, manner and form, and every per diem representative, with what few follow CTS they can muster, backed by the iminor- tai Hindman, are nibbling at him, and I say in justice to himself and the democratic party, Col. Oates should take the field, and place the whole matter before the people in its proper light, as we know he will, because the substance of the whole matter is part of the public records of our coun- try, and all that is now necessary is for an explanation and an exposition made to the people, to which they of right are fully emitted
