 NAPOLEON, Tuesday, June F.
 Left Des Arc on Sunday evening, on the Memphis packet St. Francis. Capt. Wm. A Wills, Arrived al Clarendon a, an early hour Monday morning, where we iarrie1 until P. M,. when we took passage on the Sam Hale for Napoleon. Our Clarendon friends have done much in the last year towards improving and beautifying ,heiriown. Their new court house will be erected in short time the brick are being made, and portion of the lumber is on the ground. The building is to be built in the middle of a square, now the centre of the town, which has been wisely reserved for that purpose. Had the pleasure of several hours con- versation with Messrs. Fealherion and Fnrr, attorneys at aw--the first of whom is candidate for. Prosecuting Attorney, and the latter candidate for the Legs- la,ure from Monroe. They are deserving gentlemen. and ii is to be hoped they will succeed in being selected 10 serve the people.
 The Napoleon and White River U. S. Mail packet Sam Hale arrived at Claren- don about one clock, where she remained until five, awaiting the arrival of tie U. S. Mail coach from Lil,e Rock. The coach having arrived with some sixteen passen- gers, (lncluding those outside as well as insde), most of whom took passage on the Hale we steamed away down our own beautiful White River again.
 Col. Wood. of Baton Rouge, La, was much surprised 10 find a steamer at Car- endon, ready to convey himself and trav- cling companions down White River. He had been on visit to Ho, Springs. and was informed at Little Rock that White River, as well as the Arkansas. had "done gone dry" and that his "only chance y was to take stage and railroad for Mem- phis When will those connected with the lines of travel from Lillle Rock cease fbblng about White River, stream that always furnishes oaier sufficient for steam- CTS to Jacksonport a distance of near four 1 hundred miles from it's mouth.
 1 4 The steamer Sam Hale, as is usual with this line, furnishes the best of accommo- dauons. Capt. c, w. Coles; w. F. Bris- COG. clerk in truth all her officers are faithful in the discharge of their duties. and know just how" to make everybody comfortable and perfectly at home. Every one of her officers that ain, mar. ried ought 10 be. and 1t acan't be possible that they will remain ]" in a single state of dolefulness' much longer. The wo. men, God bless them, appreciate such noble souls, and are always preparing a :. network of love" to catch them.
 | Freight for the different poln.s on Ar. kansas river, above Pine Bluff, is accn, mulaling here in large quantities, and 1 have just conversed with several gentle. men from Fort Smith. who will bring their freight to Des Arc, and have il conveyed from there to Fort Smith by wagons The people of Des Arc and adjacen' country should, without delay, hitch UT 1 their teams and prepare for any amount of hauling from Des Arc westward. Ar kansas river has become an obsolete dea,'' so far as navigation is concerned and several steamers are lying here wat. ing for rise. next fall or sprlng, 10 ena. ble them to deliver their freight 'high UT on the Afkansns river"
 I have spent portion of the day wi,l my friend R. H. Tucker, editor of the 1 Planter. here. He is good fellow ir every sense of the word, but cant quite get his consen, to support Rector for Gov. ernor But there is hope for him; his good sense and "sober second thought will bring hlm out He can't adhere to ''the family" much longer.
 Yours, in haste,
