With heads uncovered, they lis tened ottentiycly to the words of the preacher as he offered up prayer. While in the midst of it, one of the company discovered :" the color" in the earth at his feet thrown up to make room for tho remains of the deceased. In . loud whisper he communicated the rather exciting intelligence to his companion. All heard it. even the clergyman, who, susrendmg his prayer, opened his eyes to see the auditory scatter in every direction to stake of 'clajm ; he recloscd his eyes, hastily concluded his prayer, and started off on a run to join his fellows in securing a claim.

SE. MP LANDS,

Prompted " motives of hoaovo'caco and canero-ity. tie Congress of inc tu,taI States. S,DJema,r, lSjG. granted to the State of Arkansas. aI] the swamp and ovcrtoweI lands within her borders
 It is seriously questioned by many who are well informed upon the subject, whether or not the most approved system of Ieyrirg, w.n result in much practical benefit And with this view of the case, q manifest tendency exists to divert the funds arising from the sale of these lands to the building of Rail roads
 Whether complete reclamation can be at- t-incd or not, partial success in 50 npor- aut al enterprise, < sufficient to deter ma from rccana4epdlng an arProp-at'on of thi. fund, to any but is original and legitimate purposes.
 The building of Railroads with us has thus far, been quite d, much muttcr of disup- poiument, as tho construction of leveas.
 Independent of this breach of faith will bo committed by the Stateof Arkansas. if she czry4aa these lands ivr anything but thel reclamation.
 And thl, breach will bc two foII in i,, character :-First to the general government which gave tLom-~econd, 10 our own ci,i zens who have settled upon and purchased them

REAL ESTATE BANK.

1 beg leave to suggest q plan for inc settle ment of the Real Estate Bank trouble, which in my opinion, will conduce both to the pub- lie interest, and to the convenience of the stockholders It is this: That an act be passed during the present session, requiring the Pulaski Chancory Court to ascertain, through the receiver the amoHnt for which the State will 5e liable, dcduoing thcrcfron, tie proportional amount to De paid hy each stoohhoIJcr, and proyillne that said receiver be authorized and directed ou the part of the State, torecaive from cich s-ockholdcr one- fourth down ia cash of his indebtedness or deGcit--iyin1 bonds with security, at one, two and three year, lorthoremaindar, which, when paid. to entiJIc the party b a release upon the bond and mort-a-a
 This will afford mean, for an amicabIe ad- jn.mcnt between the State and stockholders, saving expensive and pr0uactcd litigation to both.
 There arc doubtless now many interested in the mort-aaed lands, hy purchase anI othor- wise who will reject ai terms, bu- h a ma jority of cases, feel confident law of th, kind would be choerfally compiled with and prove happy solution of the Bank enigma.

RAILROADS.

Nothing is more important to Arkansas than the construction of Railroads They would advance commerce induce population. deyelope our mineral and agricultural resources, and awaken the latent energies of the people,
 Bat how are the means to be obtained to build them? The lands granted by the United States for the Cairo and Fulton. and Fort Smith Branch are likely to revert to the General Goycrnmcnt Nothing of importance has becu accomplished on either Of these roads, and from the ~tringency of the money market abroad little hope is induI9ed for the future
 The grant made by Congress. has, so far. proved rather a curse than blessing For seven years past, nearly ono-hah of our ter ritory has, on that account, been reserved from sale and settlement; the consequence is, no roads less revenue, and a smaller popula- ton than we should have had
 Having nothing better to suggest, at pres cnt, in this connection, 1t is recommended that a committee be raised to investigate and re- port upon the management of the Cairo and Fulton road and it, Western Branches to as- certain what moneys have been expended. what lands sold, and under what authority :; what debts are owing, and the cause of the non-compiction of the roads; and also whether an extension of time should be granted by Congress, and if so, on what condition

EXTRACTS FROM THE GOVERNORS WESS1GE

We make the following subjoined extracts from the message of Gov. HENRY II. REcToR. to both houses of our State Legislature, on the the 10th of November 1SG0 We give our readers all the important suggestions con- tained in that document The Governor, who is an alarmist, although he appeals to the Deity to keep him out of such a position, talks great deal about lsga5 causes for so- ccssion of the Southern States from the Cnion and rather advises furnishing up of the State militia, but not regarding what he says upon the subject of as much importance as the space 1t would occupy, we do not print it.
 After recommending the reduction of our taxes to one-eighth of one per cent, he says:
 If, however, considering the great impor- tance to the State of erecting well cosiderel works of internal improvement, and the emi- nent want of educational advantages among the most deserving of our population, you should regard 1t the better policy to apply the surplus revenue to these objects upon princi- pies of justice to each and every portion of the State, will yield hearty assent to the measures
 The Constitution inhibts the collection of any more revenue than is necessary for the expenses of the government, except by two third vote of the General Assembly. To perpetuate an excess in the Treasury, is m inflaction on that instrument and is oppres- i've to the people
The constitutional union., 1860-11-30
SCHOOLS.

This subject, also, is one of great interest. Nothing enlists the philanthropist and patriot more than the cause of education. The time and labor of the educated citizen, is more val uable to himself and to his government, than the benighted tolls of one living in unculti- yated ignorance.
 On the rising generation, bred and educated at home, we must rely, in future, for the defense and maintainancc of Southern h. stitutions
 For the want of proper home schools, the youth of Arkansas are being educated abroad often so far North as to loosen the ties that bind them to the institutions of their native land
 Early education gives the impression to manhood and though Northern hostility, dis played by the Northern tutor to the Southern pupil will not eradicate hisattachment for the peculiar institutions of his fathers, yet that hostility is made more tolerable by positive contact and continued association.
