RAIL ROAD MEETING,

Our Rail Road meeting came of on the 17th and instead of failure it was quite a success. A fno crowd of ladies and gen. tlemen were in attendance. We had de- lightful grove in which to meet, and sufi- cient preparations in the way of seats, stands, &c. At II o'clock the crowd had gathered and anxious for the exercises to begin. We have not time in to-days pa per to set forth the proceedings of the meeting as our paper is just going to the press. We have never attended a meet ing of any kind in which the peopleseemed more interested than the crowd to-day Judge Edwards first took the stand, and interested the crowd in a plain practical statement of facts and figures. Next, Col Burney came forward and introduced the subject in his usual easy and facetious manner, directing attention to the intrin sic importance of immediate and prompt action in the premises, intcrspersing his remarks with happy and well timed anec- dotes. For more than an hour he held the crowd spell bound. Although laboring under the severest cold and physical fee bleness, still he made an impressive effort. Col Hedgepeth next took the stand and dealt in facts to the interest aud edifcation of the whole crowd. Few men in our midst are better prepared to talk on Rail Road matters. than the Col. After dinner MT. Marsh entertained the crowd in a chaste and spicy effort in favor of internal improvements and everything pertaining to the development of our country.
 There was fine dinner prepared and sent in by the ladies, who are always fore most in every great and laudable enter prise. Everybody got plentiful amount ofdinner, or if he or she failed 1t certainly was his or her fault, for we were there and mixed up in the dinuer to our hearts con tent, and saw plenty left when all had dined Such an effort speaks well for the citizens of Des Arc, and especially for the ladies of this town and the surrounding country, 1.-the Des Arc, Dardanelle and Fort Smith Rail Road tails, there will be many sorrowing friends in and about Des Are, butthere is no indication of failure at present. Irregular list of appointments was announced, beginning at Hickory Plains on the 30th inst, Austin on the 3lst., Peach Orchard Gap on the lst Sept. Green Grove on the Sd proximo, Lewisburg the 4th, Springfield the 9th, Dardanelle the Sth, and Dover on the 10th Septem- ber The friends of the Road are in good earnest and are determined to put the Road through if energy and promptness will insure success. We bid them God speed in cause so praiseworthy.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE SOUTH.

Notwithstanding tho many adverse cir cumstanccs which have been thrown around us asa people, 1t is certainly grati- flying to the Southern heart to. see the dark clouds of despair giving way to the firm light of determination, and the pros poets of the South which were a little while ago so forboding, increase in prom ise, and point to future filled with hope. But short while ago and our cities were nought but monuments of our fall, now they come forth from their ashes and des- olation and bear testimony to the honor and determination of the Southern people yet to do for themselves the great work of building up, net only their fortunes but their name. The South has become fully alive to the responsibility that has fallen upon her, and although she has not been dealt fairly with, still will she not grumblc, but in the majesty of her own might, she has determined to rise upon her own merit, and not upon the miserable conditions which have been proposed to her by that class of men who will live to hang their heads in shame, that they ever so mistreat- ed people whose least act was superative to their crowning deeds of glory. Yes the South is growing out of darkness into light. and it is the light of Truth, of Hon. or, and of manhood.

OUR TOWN.

It is we'll settled fact that We have in Des Arc an enterprlsing community, every member ofwhich is willing to contribute his mite to the furtherance of any meas ure of improvement that conduces in the least degree to our prosperity It IS also we'll known that we have within ourselves the clements of greatness, and the ability to become great town, in point of wealth and population if we but exert ourselves Everything indicates our rapid growth and prosperity, and the history of the past twelve months shows our growth to have exceeded that of any town in the State, Our purpose is however, not to eulogize what has been done, but to call attention to what must yet be done. One of the first things that calls it self to mind, next to Railroads, which always come first to an enterprising people, is our great need of schools, good schools. Now we believe that every citizen of this community feels the need of such enterprises, and it does appear that now is the proper time to take in consideration the best means of building such houses, aud establishing such schools as will add to our popularity and increase our character abroad.
 Next in importance, is the improvement of our appearance, for we all know that one must appear well to succeed in the world, and that which would most conduce to the appearance of our town and the comfort oi her citizens is the regulating and relaying of our pavements. At one time we had the best paved city in the State, and small outlay for this purpose would be profitable in more ways than one.
 We have called the attention of oul readers. the citizens of our town especially to these things, thinking that the time fol action has come, and feeling that every stroke we make is adding power to the le- yer that is toraise us to our proper position the first city ofthe State.

Ill-feeling at Paris over the Result of the German War--FranCe Gets NOth- ing--England the Cause,

Correspondence New York Herald l
 PARIS, July 27, 1866. HAS NAPOLEON FAILED AS A REGULA-
 TOR?
 People continue to wonder what Napol- con is going to do to come out ofhls media ton without loss of prestige.
 PARIS ANGRY.
 There is very great irritation in Paris at the idea that France is to get nothing as the result of the war. The Opinion Nationale, conducted by M. Gueroult a Deputy for Paris, and which las all along patted Bismarck on the back, is now furious at seeing him so powerful and trance (apparently) humble. In hisyesterday s number Gueroult exclaims: A new Ger manic Confederation swallowing up the north and south is to be substituted for the federative act of 1S15 The Swabian countries are, it is true, intended to have a political life of their own, but they will be bound to the Germany of the Prussian ahegemony" by federative lien which will inevitably becomea bond of servitude. We see, therefore, in prospective, Prussia extending from Jutland to Switzerland, and ready, under the pretext Of Panger- manism, to absorb all that part of the Helvetic Confederation which has the mis- fortune to forget its old Celtic idiom and to adopt German dialect Once this fact accomplished, and free Helvetia must dis appear unless saved by a new and terrible war which should result in France being obliged to annex to herself the whole basin of the lake of Geneva
 ENGLAND THE CAUSE.
 While in the annexing vein M' Gueroult, being angry with the English Parliament for having expressed satisfaction at the creation of great central Power in Europe capable of checking French aggression, suggests that France would do well, to an mex Guernsey and Jersey and support the Fenian movement in Ireland. This lan- guage reads wild but it should be remem- bered that Gueroult is chum of Prince Napoleon, and that Prince Napoleon is now high in the Emperor's confidence. A more serious symptom of something coming is an article in yesterdays Patrie, which all Paris journalists know by the style, which is much better than that of the scribe who signs it, must be inspired.

CoTToN CRor AND PRICES A few weeks ago the dry goods trade of New York estimated the cotton crop of the pres ent season at only eleven hundred thou sand bales. Now, the Independent, an or gan of that trade, estimates the crop at three millions of bales Though the season has been more propitious than was expected, this would seem to be wild exageration, and better, a good deal, to guide buyers than producers. But the same organ states, as fact, that cotton agents have contracted for the delivery of crops at Southern ports at twenty-five cents curren- cy, and that they have contracted with planters in Georgia and Alabama for the product of their fields at eighteen cents. It states, further, that planters are desirous of selling their growing crops, deliverable in November, atprices much less than present rates.
