RUNAWAY NEeReEs.-Me have heard, re- gently, of more runaway negroes, than at any time previous, during the past six years. Not less than nineteen runaways are hid in the Swamps within twenty five miles of Des Arc. On Wednesday morning negro be- longing to Mir. S. Reeves, near Jone's Hill P. o', some twelve miles east of us, was missing. Mir. Reeves arrived here on Wednesday even- ing, and learned that at one o'clock in the morning a white man and two negroes ferried themselves across the river, having found the ferry-boat moored at the landing. MT. Reeves pursued them westward. We trust he will cvertake them.
 Owners of negroes cannot be too particular. There are class of mean white men peram- oulating the country, whose object is that of stealing negroes, either to sell them, or run them to free territory. There are too many men in this section who have no visible means or making livelihood. This class, almost Invariably, are ready to aid in "any specula- tlon" to line their pockets with the "needful! The authorities at Memphis have recently caused great many of this class to enigrate, and we have but little doubt they are aiding most of the negroes who have recently run on. Beware of men who are found tampering "ith and talking to your negroes. All such men should be arrested and dealt with in a summary manner

THE CRoPs.- Throughout this section of country the prospect of fine crops was never better. Cotton and corn especially looks un- usually we'll. Wheat, rye, oats, &c., is ma turing, and the harvest time is fast approach ing. The immense quantity of new lands put in cultivation, this spring, will add materially to the wealth of the farmers of Prairie county Eext fall. The high price of corn, &c., pro- duced by t,stincrease of population last fall and winter, .fias caused planters to turn their attention, to greater extent, in raising small grain. .-

ARTEsIAN WELL.-There is no place in our knowledge that an Artesian We'll can be bored with more perfect certainty of ob- taining pure water, and plenty of 1t, than Des Arc. Five hundred feet is the estimated distance tb,. we have heard suggested that water can be found that will be thrown twen- ty-fve feet above the surface. Let a company be formed, and as our Board of Mayor and Alderman seem 10th to expend public money otherwise, they can take stock liberally. The public square is a magnificent location for the We'll, as all the town can be conveniently supplied with water therefrom. Neighboring towns are forming companies and are deter mined to try the experiment. Des Arc should not be behind her neighbors.

To THE CITIZENS OF ARKANsAs-BEwARE OF IMPosITIoNs.-The undersigned, exclusive owner of the right to use Morse's telegraph instrument on the route from Memphis to Little Rock and Helena. (deed of conveyance bearing date Washington, D. C., August l7th, 1856, signed Samuel F. B. Morse by his attor- ney in fact, Amos Kendall, feels it his duty to warn the people of Arkansas against the parties who are now engaged in the effort to get up telegraph line on the aforesaid route. The Morse patent is in universal use through out this country, and even in Europe, and is the only simple and practical one. visited Little Rock and obtained a charter from the Legislature in the winter of 1858, for the above line, and have only been waiting for the opening of the railroad route.
 Either myself or duly authorized agent will shortly call upon those who are inter- ested, and the enterprise will be offered to them on safe and substantial foundation !; meantime suspension of payment on the subscription papers now in circulation would be most prudent.
