 A MtcH NEEDED DIsCovERY.-We call at tenton to the advertisement of E.sJ. Park, of Memphis, Tenn, setting fortt his discovery of a new process of rapidly tanning leather, and in doing so, 1t is with entire confidence in the merits and efficacy of his system in performing what he claims for it. We have, examined Mr. Parks process in detail, and are well satisfied it is legitimate and scientific discovery, requir- ing the labor of years of patient research to per feet it, and that he has conferred incalculable benefit upon the South, by placing within the reach of every one the means of tanning hls own leather.
 All tanning is effected by chemical affinity, but the secret of exciting that affinity to a vigo- rous and powerful action, is what has troubled mankind for some time. This Mr. Park accom- plished by a previous preparation of the hide, before any ooZe comes in contact with 1t, with out the use of oil of vitriol, which destroys the efficiency of the leather, but with such articles as are produced in the South and are easily pro- cured at cheap rates-in fact, fifteen dollars worth of the materials used will prepare ten 
 thousand dollars worth of leather for rapid tan ming We are assured by practical tanners that all receipts" depending solely on oil of vtriol for quick tanning, are impositions, that have l been kicked out of the back door of every tam nery that used them ten years ago.
 Mr. Park has patent for his system, obtain d from the Confederate patent office at Richmond, and his recommendations to us are ot such a character, as to assure us, he has too high re> gard for his reputation to attempt to palm off on the public mere receipt, worthless in its practical results. We arealso assured by those who have tried it, as well as by specimens of leather tanned by it which have been exhibited to us, that 1t is as he claims the greatest dis covery of the age Those who have been de~ ceived by receipts need have 10 fears in test ing Mir. Parks system. Read his advertise ment and testimonials.

We copy the following from the Washington

Ark. Telegraph.
 Our state land office has been crowded with pre- emptors for the last two months to such an extent as to occupy the agent day and night. It has been impossible to transact all the business be fore the day of sale, and much of it has been de- ferred over. These are all actual settlers, or i'm provers. It indicates the rapidity with which our lands were being occupied before the war, and the basis we have, in this stalwIrt lot of pioneers, for ap immediate spring upon tide of prosperity. With the first calm of peace. Arkansas will pesuKle the development of her resources, and her progress will be beyond our calculations.
 Quite large land sale was recently held at BatesyiIie. 4 small one is advertised at Hele' na and another will soon be held at the land office in this city. These sales will absorb sev- sra. hundred thousand dollars of Arkansas war bonds and would redeem. twice as much inors if it was ncc.. for the law granting pre-emptions and allowing the preemptor to pay tor the land by ditch work.
