TTTE PROPOSE TO PUBLISH ANNUALLY w a work entitled as above, similar to and suggested by the '.Texas Almanac publi- cation well known to many citizens of our State The first number will be published soon after the result of the August election, so that the names of the officers elected may be included.
 It will contain the time and other astrono- mical tables usually found in almanacs; but the leading object of the publication, IS to make it a repository of the largest possible amount of useful information in regard to the State ofArkansas, embracing federal statistics relating to, and annual statistics from all De- partments of the State, and also from all the counties in the State; showing our progress in population, wealth, and all the elements of prosperity Beyond this, it will be our aim to obtain all the scientific information to be had. from gentlemen of acknowledged seien- tiic attanments, in relation to the geological structure. mineral resources, soil, climate, and the agricultural and commercial advantages, of each county in the State.
 We shall also give sketches of the lives of the men who have figured prominently in the past history of Arkansas. Another import ant object will be, to place on record such facts and incidents in the history of the State, as may be furnished from time to time by living witnesses, or may De louHo III pupic UT private documents. or in original correspond- ence of former days, that lie scattered in Va rous parts of the country. We hope our Al manac will be the means of rescuing from ob- livion some of the most valuable materials for a future history of Arkansas.
 It shall have nothing of a partisan charac- ter, and is open for contributions from aH quarters. It will be useful to all men, of ali professions, and may aid, materially, in at tracting immigration to the State. A large edition will be printed, and it will be offered at price barely sufficient to pay expenses of publication.

 CoTToN. The market yesterday opened dull, with no inquiries and very little offering. Holders have withdrawn from the market, and several determined to hold firm at Saturday s prices. The steamers news and German difficulties have had tendency to depress the American markets. Transactions during the day were few. In fact, we were unable to learn of any legitimate sales sufficient to base a market on, There were few sales made of re-packed and low grades at irregular prices i; but outside of this there was nothing doing. Liverpool dates of the 8th give sales of Cotton for the week at 1000 bales; Cotton declined from to Id. Sales on Friday 1900 bales, the market closing buoyant, with an advance of to 9d caused by advices from Java.
