Immense Sale of Town Lots in Hopefeld,
 Arkansas

THE trustees for the Memphis and Hopeield | Real Estate Association have determined to sell out the lands and close up the business of said company, and will, on the 18th day of April, 1859, sell out the town of Hopetield, in lots, at public auction, to the highest bidder.
 Hopeheld is destined to be one among the great cities of the west, situated, as it is, opposite the city of Memphis, Tenn, on the western bank of the great Mississippi river at the eastern terminus of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, the only railroad in operation between St. Louis and New Orleans that penetrates the Great World west of the Mississippi river, and the road which will in few years csnnect Hopefeld with the Pacific Ocean, and the southern terminus of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad. Being backed by the richest country in the world, now so rapidly being opened and put into useful cultivation the proprie- tors deem it unnecessary for them to say a word to show to the public that Hopefed is bound to be the emporium where the commerce of the great wes- tern world will center.
 The trustees will also sell all the lands belong ing said company, consisting of about 5,000 acres within few miles of Memphis.

is to be judged. In his statements and
letter, he has indeed been very "ee0poni-
cd1" of the "truth." The House passed
a resolution to employ an enrolling clerk at
81 per day. The Council concurred in
said resolution. The House seeing that
such resolution might saddle debt on
the territorial treasury, passed another
resolution, cOnSsuing their first so that no
charge against the territorial treasury
could be implied The Council assuming
the manly and true ground that the LegiS-
lature had not the right to secure "iaJ0r "
from any one under false pretence-that
the work was necessary for proper legisa-
tion-struck out the mot" in said resou-
tion, and created an Office for which the
territory might have to pay. The House
did not concur. A conference on the diSa-
greement followed. The joint committee
made unanimous report, stating the ue-
cessity Of the efice---6rst, authorizing the
employment Of perseu who would he q
"clerieaL mieGteler," and wait and wait,
uutil something turned up" Failing to
find one Of that sOrt-second, competent
persen was to ts employed, who was to be
paid for his services for the time actually
employed. The House refused TO concur in
this, but passed the FIRST resolve The
Ceuucil then laid the matter on the table
until the 4th of July, Tue House commit
tee employed BUTLER p ANDERSON, Esq,
who desired to see the laws properly enroll
ed, and would do the work without looking
to The territory. His duty is TO enroll the
bills passed which had their origin in the
House. In the Council We are Informed
A. J. Moses, ESQ, assistant clerk, has and
does perform the enrolling. We say, with.
out violating proper spirit of economy that
these gentlemen deserve their pay, and
ought to have it from some source. An
economy" which leans against depriviug
the "LabOrer Of his hire "-ihat allows the
laws 10 60 without on enrolment, because
the authorities ore too sordid and parsimo-
nious, is not economyp-it is worse than
that.
We did net desire to argue ia this arti-
Gle the necessity Of an enrolling clerk, nor
the wopriety of paying such an officer
We merely desired to point out some OIL
the glaring mistatemeuts in the letter Ol

1t is not true that there is Annually paid
$500 per annum for cleaning the territorial

was an appropriation of $22S for cleaning

The total Of passenger receipts upon the ten
Street Railroads Of Philadelphia on the Fourth
Of Joly, wss ss.7s7, representing total Of
l75 740 passengers, at FIVE cents each. The
number Of cars run was 3l9 giving employment
til,OOO men and nearly 5000 horses. The sg-
ereeate travel amounted TO nearly ohe-third the
entire population Of the city. Butte fraction Of
these would have made excursions about town
b ut for the passenger railways. The Brooklyn
City Railroad receipts for June amounted to
s43 $50, aG inctease of nearly six thousand dol
lars over June 1858.
The construction Of the Citizens Passenger
Railway from Pittsburgh TO Lawrenceville is
progressing The laying Of the track employs
100 sturdy men The first operation is tearing
up Il G street pavement This is done on near.
ly the whole width of the street Channels are
dug across the street, ties are laid and the
stringers upon them To these broad iron rails
are attached and when the street shall have
been rep,ired the road will be ready for work.
The track presents no obstacle whatever TO the
passage Of vehicles The rail is about Is feet
in lcrgth, and is made at the Cambria Works, in
Johnstown The road will be completed in
about two weeks, and the Gazette says
We expect that when once those cars are run
ming, the people will wonder how ever popu
lation like this could have contented itself with
those dreadful overcrowded, numbering omni-
busses, death TO man and beast.
An iron rail he's been brought into market
for street railroads which entirely dispenseI
with wood cross ties, and can be put down with
much less expense than the ordinary way. The
rails are joined together and made continuous
by means of splice wedge inserted in elects
about ten inches long, cast with the rail-
Trenches are opened in the pavement, eight.
cen inches wide, and from eight to twenty inch
es deep, the bottom compacted by the use oil
the rammer, and the rail put in. At the ends
and in the middle of each rail, block Of planl
about ten inches surface is laid orosswise of thu
track; the gravel is then replaced, and the pave
ment closed in.
The weight of the rail is from eighty to on'
hundred pounds per yard, and the cost per mile
when laid, from $1,000 to $4,000 This is The
result cf the labors of Mr.. S. A. Beers, Civi
Engineer, of Brooklyn, N Y, and is now il
use there, and also in Philadelphia.
