TIE EAGLE's FLlGHr.-The steamer Spread Eagle, Capt. Chouteau, lately ar- rived at Saint Louis, from the upper wa ters of the Missouri river. She ascended eight hundred and fifty miles above the mouth of the Yellowstone, which is about five hundred and fifty miles farther than any steamboat had ever penetrated be- fore. She reached distance of two thou- sand and five hundred miles above Saint Louis. The Spread Eagle left Fort Ben ton on the 18th of July, and passed Fort Union on the 26th of the same month. This trip of Capt. Chouteau consumed over two months of time, and it is, on &C., count of its great length, one of the most remarkable in the annals of river naviga- ton.

The Next Census-Timely Suggestion.

In the ensuing year the eighth census el the United States will have 10 be taken, No one not practically acquainted with the difficulties of this office can begin to esti- mate the immense amount of labor which devolves on those who attempt it. These difficulties are manifold, growing in some cases out ofmsconception of the objects and often out of the ignorance and per verseness of the people to whom the dep. uty Marshal is compelled to seek for in- formation. Sometimes the officer IS both- cred no little by reason of the reluctance of the heads of families to give in detail the names and ages of the members; and not unfrquenlly the law has to be threat. ened against them before this branch oi information can be fully obtained. Not unfrequenily it happens when the officer calls at the house in the discharge of his duty he finds the gentleman absent. and the wife is unable to tell the acres of land the number and age of negroes, the num- Der and value of horses and mules, the val ue of farming implements, the quantity and value of the products of the farm, and many other particulars essential to the performance of the work before him.
 Now, what we suggest is that each far mer this fall, as he gathers crops, shall keep something like an accurate account, of the value and quantity ofthe same; and if he will take the trouble to make out a statement of the names and ages of the family; the number of acres of land cleared and hmbered; the number and ages of his servants: the number and value of his horses and mules; the number of bales of cotton, barrels of corn. bushels of wheat. oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc., and the value of each, and leave it in some place where any member ofthe family who may be at home when the deputy Marshal shall call can readily get hold of it, it will save time to all concerned, and greatly assist to make the census returns perfect, com plete and satisfactory.
 We throw out these suggestions for the reason that having once performed the ar- duous duty ofa census taker. and feeling keenly the disadvantages under which an inexperienced person labors in such voca- tion, and how very greatly his duties might be frightened and its unpeasantness mlt- gated by little attention on the part Of persons who are equally interested with the United States Marshal in having the work we'll and accurately performed, we think we are entitled to speak on the sub' jecl We do not expect again to be en- gagged in such work, but we bespeak the kindness and cooperation of the people to and with those who shall have to perform that duty.- Nashville News.

aT It appears that an attempt is making to convey the idea that the printing materials Fin the " CITIZEN" Office were bought second- handed, and were not new at the commence ment of our enterprise. With the exception sof small portion of the job-type, the editor of the CITIZEN purchased the materials new from the Saint Louis Type Foundry; and the type and other furniture are now better than those in two-thirds of similar newspaper es- Establishments, where such materials have been In use only three years. The rule of our printing house is the Franklinian motto" A place for everything, and everything in it's place." The arrangements in our office will compare favorably with those of any estab- nent in the State of Arkansas. We invite sny person or party, who wishes to purchase the property, to call and examine for them xeyes; and we would caution them not to rely upon outside statements in reference to the salue of the printing materials and other ap- purtenances of the CITIZEN establishment.
 ey We offer to sell the property for two Thousand and two hundred dollars, ($2,2oo)- twelve hundred dollars ($l20o) in cash at the time of sale, and the balance of one thousand dolars ($l000) to be paid in twelve months, with ten per cent. interest, and with lien upon the materials until the last payment is noJ,

A controversy existed relative to charge for advertising, be- tween the Commissioners of Hamilton county and the Patriot newspaper.

If work is given to newspaper publishers without special contract coutravenlng the published terms, the publishers can charge and receive according 10 the terms so published. It is not necessary to prove what the work cost or was worth; the pub. fishers have right to fix the value o the columns, and if so fixed. no othel question need be asked, but the price thu: charged can be procured"

 A PuzzLE-There is in this town won- perful prophet, whose generation in this world was before Adam. He was with Christ before he was crucifed. He knew not hls father, nor did he ever suck the breast of his mother. His coat is neither knit, spun, nor woven- neither of hair, silk, linen, nor woolen; yet it has very fine gloss and color. He walks boldly in the face of his enemies, and is abused only by wicked men. He takes no money, if offered him; he sleeps on no bed, but stands or crouches entirely. He eats no flesh, and takes no strong drink, but water entirely. Poor women have reason to rejoice that such a prophet has come to sit before their foolish husbands. ZIGzAG.
