The Homestead Bill.

The homestead bill passed the House of Representatives by vote of III to 62. It's friends are iubilant over this, but they are premature in their rejoicings. Thrice before the principle contained in the pre- sent bill passed the House. In February, 1859. it was defeated in the Senate. The vote was a tie until the Vice President voted no. and defeated the bill. The pre- sent bill will be opposed by every southern senator, with one exception-Johnson of Tennessee.
 We have always opposed the bill, and an examination of it's provisions will show that it confers no new rights or privileges to our people. The bill provides that all heads of families, or all persons 2l years of age. either citizen or who has filed his declaration to become such, may precmpt 16O. acres, or 80 acres of land valued at s2 50 an acre. The patent does not issue until after the expiration of five years, when the pre-emptor or his heirs must pay ten dollars.
 Our present laws grant pre-emption rights. and actual settlers can now obtain lands in our State for from twelve and half cents to one dollar and twenty-five cents an acre. Forty acres can be obtained for five dollars. The effect of the passage of this law would be to flood the whole southwest with herdes of northern emil grants. These, sent out here by the help of the emigrant aid societies, would be pledged, as return for their outfit, to sustain abolitionism. They would come imbued with sentiments hostile to slavery, and their numbers would be formidable
 Arkansians are now purchasing lands from the United States at the rate of three thousand acres a day, or over a million of acres iu year. These are entered for

The Pacific Railroad.

When Horace Greedy took his famous overland journey to the Pacific coast, several of our cotemporaries suggested that hls ob- feet was to influence the California election Setting aside the fact that neither Greedy, or any other man, could control any State election, and that such journey, for such a purpose, would be useless, we believed that the object of the pseudo philosopher was connected with the Pacific road. The black republicans, long ago, laid 1t down as a fundamental article in their creed that there should be no more slave labor States. They maintained this with fire and blood in Kansas. They spent immense sums to aid emigrants to different territories so that the free soil element would predom- nate in the politics of the embryo State. The country west of Kansas and Missouri was critically examined with vlew to It's further settlement. Pike's Peak was puf- fed and other gold localities written of, to induce emigration from the abolltlonlzod States.

Telegraph.

A proposition to establish line ot tele- graph from here to Memphis is being sub mitted to our citizens, with what success we are not prepared to say at present.
 The importance of the connexion of this city with Memphis, and consequently the balance of the United States is fully appre- ciated The only question is, how and where to obtain the means.
 The lecture, by Mr. w. D. SNow, on Thursday evening" was fairly attended by our leading business men. Want of space to-day, prevents our giving full synopsis of it, that it's importance to the community demands We must, therefore, content ourselves with the following eloquent and truthfdf extract from the lecture, which cofimends itself to all classes

homes either of our own people or new corners from the western and southwestern States.
 Upon the passage of the bill, a set of middle-men and land agents in the north ern cities, would at once get lists of all vacant lands in our State, send people out here to settle, and, when this was done in good faith, would receive fee therefor, or by fraud would eventually secure the lands to themselves. It would throw open the door to fraud and perjury. and benefit speculators and land jobbers.
 In no possible way could it favorably effect our people, and, in many ways, would prejudice them We shall be glad to chronicle its defeat in democratic Senate, and hope that such black repub- lican wedge, as it is, may never be in serted or driven into the body polite.

The Slave Trade.

We have read several published letters from naval officers cruising on the coast ot Africa, from resident missionaries, and commercial agents. All agree that the slave trade was never more active. The French with their apprentice system, and the English with free emigrants," keep the business brisk, and, in addition thereto, the Yankees are cutting in for their share See what an abolitionist naval officer writes to an abolition paper:
 "The few months experience we have had on the coast has not been altogether thrown away 1T has thoroughly conrinced us ttdt the tchoIe Slare coast is. ,oe may say, Hned Dih staners, ,cho are qencyaliv from Ne,c York, cleared from the custom house. Lrinqinq all he appliances Of the trade ,,ith then and niqnnuUerinQ about on the c0ast, under uarous pretenseS and disguises of leqdl trdBcpar- icularly under that most spacious blind, the oban- nq of palm oil, until, the tauorabLe moment han'ng arrced the cargo IS shipped, and ferc hours hnds them out Of dan7er, on the tcdy to the West Indies
 When it was announced that the Wan derer had landed few slaves in the South, the northern papers were filled with articles concerning the horrors of the slave trade, They pretended to be awfully shocked, and their nerves quivered for months. All the time these pious people were fitting out slavers to go to the African coast and carry slaves to the West Indies. Not only in New York, but in other ports, are these vessels built expressly for this trade, but fitted out and cleared. And in those ventures many are concerned; the money of women and pous church deacons is in vested. It pays well, and they can afford to go in silk and broadcloth on Sunday to hear Henry Ward Beecher deScant upon the evils of slavery. Philanthrophy Is 3 great institution

Railroads and Lands.

We have read the report of T. Butler King to the legislature of Georgia, on the subject of railroads. When New York commenced her system of internal inn provements, her population was about double that of Arkansas, as was the value of her taxable property. Her population is now seven times greater than that of our State, and the value of her taxable property is s1 ,4O4, ,907, ,679. As immense as this sum is, and made up, in part, oi articles not enumerated in our lists of tax able property, the amount to each individ- ual in the State is not so large as in Ar kansas.
 In New Jersey, the land on each side of the Camden and Amboy road increased in price sufficiently to pay double the cost of the road. From the report of Mir. King, and from other sources, instances are frequent where the taxable property of counties through which roads run, double, or increase a hundred per cent, in two, three, four or five years.
 IL is singular facl connected with rail roads, that they increase the value of real estate, in far greater degree when they run through poor country, than when they run through rich one Thus the pine lands of Georgia, that once sold for 1 five and ten cents an acre, now sell for ten dollars an acre Roads that run parallel with great rivers, or of fertile vallies, do not increase the value of property to such per centage as when they run across the face of the country. Thus, road up the valley of the Arkansas river would, no | doubt. double the value of real estate for ten miles each side of 1t, in two or three years. Lands now worth twenty dollars, would sell for forty or fifty dollars an acre Counties, with five million dollars worth of taxable property, would soon show ten millions worth. The travel and freight on such road, would be far greater than on one running through poorer country. A road running across the vallies and through the hills, would be more expensive and have less freight But lands in its vicinity now selling for a dollar, would then sell for ten dollars an acre; and counties, with taxable property amounting to half a mll- lion of dollars, would then run to four or five millions. The reason of this IS obvi- ous. The first roads are generally parallel with large streams, because the wealth and population are found there, on them are the cities, and the trade comes from thelr borders. No fact can be more clearly and conclusively demonstrated, than that pro- pertv holders, along the line of a road, could afford to give the road fifty per cent ! of the value of their lands, and then make fifty per cent. clear. In some cases the value of property is quickly trebled and quadrupled.

The Cloves Claim.

It has long been a mooted question, and yet an unsettled one, who struck Billy Patterson?" and from what I have seen recently in the public prints, it would seem to be equally as uncertain proposition as to who Killed tie C2oyes' claim."
 As this claim figured somewhat exten- sively in the journals of this city Miny gears ago. why not give it passing notice now? Honor to whom honor is due, is scrip ture command and l must obey. This claim, pronounced by our judiciary fraud ulcnt in l4 W and in fact" covered a portion of the most valuable part of this city. The original bill, filed fer the claimants by the late Col. Fowler, in 1S43, was, unfortu- nately, permitted bya portion of the attor- neys, then in the defence, to go to the supreme court of the United States upon 6 simple demurrer to the bill; which, as all lawyers know, or ought to at least, admit ted the truth of all the matters of fact set up therein; putting in issue only the mere question of law. By this unfortunate course, things were admitted as facts, that subsequent testimony shows to be utterly without any foundation whatever. The case was reversed by that court and re- manded for trial anew upon ts merits, thereby leaving the defendants but the nar- row ground of fraud to stand upon to defeat the claim. This new attitude of the case presented obstacles and dangerous diff culties that did not exist before the demur- Ter was interposed; and, in the meantime important evidence was lost by lapse of time, death and otherwise.
 Upon the return of the case from the supreme court of the United States. for trial in oar State courts, the original bill was amended, and many new parties intro duced, and among the number, our worthy citizen c. P. Bertrand, esq. The cause was set down for trial upon the several answers of the defendants exhibits and proofs, All the evidence taken in the cause, that reached the only question at issue, and upon which tue case ras determined, was taken by Mir. Bertrand alone and at the cost of much labor and time to himself. On the trial of the case before Chancellor Fairchild-and which occupied near two weeks--and resulted in decree for the de- fendants, 1t was argued orally by Messrs. Gallagher. Hampstead, Bertrand and the late Mir. E. Cummins, in behalf of the de fendants.
 On appeal by the complainants, to the supreme court of this State, the cause was submitted to that court on the printed ar gument of Mir. Hampstead, and the manu- script one of Mr. Gallagher. All parties concerned, as litigants, seemed to be satis- fled, and to rely upon the masterly-and, as It since appears-unanswerab argu- ment of Mir. Hampstead.
 On appeal to the supreme court of the United States from our court. affirming the decree of Chancellor Fairchild, the cause was submitted to that court upon the printed argument of Mr. Hampstead, and

R. D. Peck

This is the name of the defaulti1f trea- srrcr of the State of Maine. These honest black republicans are nightly given to stealing. Wherever and whenever they get power in their hands, corruption fol- lows as night follows the day. But this Peck case presents some strange features strange at least to unsophistcated demo- crats. It appears that his sureties or bondmen claimed that they had a right to borrow the public money. They argued that he could lend them, and if he default ed they, as securities, were bound to make up the detalcation One of them says
 "I now remember that immediately after his election, the question came up between me ana Peck, whether he could lend money to his bonds men, We examined the law, and Peck concluded that if he couo not loan the money, he could de posit it in banks and get his private paper discount ed at per cent, and loan it for larger interest. generally paid him something more than b per cent"
 This is the testimony of Somers, the Dlach Tepuoilcai hiohioOi VI Neal Dow, and other prominent men, were borrowers. It appears, too, that this mo- nev was used for electioneering purposes Peck says his assessment by the black re- publican state committee was in sums of S60, sl00 and other sums, besides his voluntary contributions. Mark the word assessment"
 So it goes A few years ago, Brother Gibson, of Ohio, stole half million. Now, Elder Peck has cleaned out the trea- surv of Maine. Wisconsin is plundered threadbare, New York is being robbed of millions yearly. Let these fellows get, control of the general government, and they will play the same game there.
