in Des Are, with facilities furnishing a
 foundation upon which to build every va
 riety of manufactorics, having paramount
 community of intnrests in relation to eff mate, soil, agricultural and mineral pro. ducts, thousands of dollars are paid annu. ally to foreign manufacturers that should go to support manufacturers at home. But if we set idly lown and hope that these grea. facilities in themselves will grow us a prosperity without making the proper use of them, disappointment will inevitably be our doom Beneficial results seldom grew out of natural facilities, and if we expect to reap any advantage from natural resources, thcse resources must be made subservieht to the advancement of commercial interests, by the appliance of industry and capital, Cotton factories, foundries, and Touring mills, could all be successfully supported, and save the i'm mense sums of money paid in taxes upon articles passing through tho channels of trade between the place of production to that of the manufacturing communities. By the founding of these enterprises we would be freed of many tax burdens, and those of an Tmpost character would be paid to build up our own interests instead of the interests of other States The al- most criminal neglect of these enterprises heretofore, is at the present time, la mentally impressed upon our minds. We are at the mercy of those who care not for us, and having no facilities for supplying our wants at home, we are humliatingly, dependent upon them, and are compelled to send out the few dollars left us by the late, National robbery scheme, to satisfy their exorbitant prices for those wants, We send North for four, corn meal, blows, calicocs, and variety of other mer ebandise, whilst at the same time, VIC have Ia climate and soil, and deposits, to furnish the raw material for the manufac- turing of every one of these articles d. our command. It is high time that we be- come self-supportins people. Polisscal relations are at all times liable to misgive, and whea broken, these communities that are self-supportinr. do net s,xner;as,cu, tb, misiortuncs attendant upon sections whose wants must be supplied from foreign mar kets. Why, then, do We not undertake something 10 push forward in these enter prises? live cannot build cotton fac tory or fonndry, let Us build, or encour age capitalists to build, grist mill. We want to make beginning, and likely this littie caoTt will awaken up our resolution to undertake greater things.

A GREAT AND GOOD MAN GONE.

Joshua Soule, senior Bishop of the Methodist Church South, is no more. His spirit took its flight on the Sth inst. and is now with the God who gave it. This veteran soldier of the Cross died with his armor on. In his last illness he was attended by Bishop McTyeirc. In answerto Dr. McTyeirc's question if all was clear before him, he answered, "All riglH.ssir: all right r and went home. A solemn gloom falls upon the

MR. EDITOR :-The productive indus try of Arkansas is almost wholly agricul. turpl, and as such, supplies to commerce several staples of great value. Up to inc present time all other departments of commercial industry have received little or no encouragement. Manufacturing inter csts, the most conducive elements to State prosperity, to developing the country, at tracting population, and securing capital have made but little advancement amongst us. Looking in almost every direction of the compass, you can observe evidences of growing and permanent good among our neighbors, arising from the consideration they are paying to manufacturing enter prises. The products of these States are the same as those grown here, and if the establishment of manuiactories, for tie working up of the raw material is profita- ble to them at home, can we not augment our prosperity by the erection of similar
 
 ones in our State? The want of capital is the general cry against the inauguration of these valuable improvements, but in our opinion this is not the reason, but it is want of industry, and the chilly and al most repellant spirit of our people against their introduction, whether. erected by
 T local or foreign capitalists. .'The gods help those who help themselves" i" is as ap- plicablc to us as b people elsewhere, aud, notwithstanding the many advantages that nature has supplied to us from a bountc- ous hand, unless we energetically lay hold with determined hands, ,tomake them condu- Fpiye to material good, they will stand as pnonuments of shame and refroach, and recorded evidences of people who might have been commercially great, but who chose to bo laggards in forwarding on the great sieA5 olnatlonal prosperity.

We present 10 our readers, to thc cx- rlusion of other matter, and abstract of the Presidents veto message, This document is perhaps inc ablcst that has been prepared by Mir. Johnson, since his occupation of tho Presidential chair in it, he clearly defines the object of tho Radical party to be forcing upon 'hc Southern people all odious meas urc, i. z. negro suffrage. He discusses. jnan able manner tho bill, and argues at length upon it's neonstihitionaity.- Had the party to whom this message is addressed, tithe of the Presidents Statesmanship, or particle of the true principle actuating him in his conrse. they would certainly pause. before throwing around this people, these last chains of servitudc. We regret that our space will not allow us to give the message in full, but to such extracts as we give, we call special attention.

BRIGHTER DAYS IN FUTURE.

We alR crer ready to express hope --cvcr reasly to hold out to depressed and demoralized mortals, that the fu- turc is brighter than the present, if the lessons of the present be improved up- sa,. Now that the fullncss of Radical oppression has come, there are those who cry out in all the abandon of de- spair. mo hopcw But little while ago, tho heroes of the South, the advo- rntes of Southern principle, were ready to say,.raihcr tllanadopt the Constitu- tional Amendment, let us remain as we src forever. Let not the intimidation measures of our opprcssors force us to the sacrifice of principle, honesty and identity. Now, alas, these same are saying. accept the offer, enter the Union, md avert this great calamity. These things arc all wrong. In times past, we counsclcd our readers to reject the Constitutional Amendment, because we thought it wrong. It swept from us 1lle hist spark of liberty, destroyed fh.ccrlom, and made loathsomc and de- testablc, this once admirable govern mcnt. Although changes have come, iaud many good men have ceased to op- pose, still, we say, it is not the policy of the South to yield in this matter.- To us, the Union of to-day has no hon. ors that we court, 10 blessings that we lnsi,.n IT., o,,+,,. f ,t e,, r,,.ao+ (,
 fee, would attach to us d stigma that we are not willing to bear. More than this, it is yet to be proven that this step will secure thatwhich so many crave "a place in the Union. H'5
 That party who disregarded the cartel of '62-who failed to comply with any of the conditions of the treaty of sG5, can give no security for good faith at this time. Gss
 We are now the object ofhatc by the Radical party, and must be, until Radi- eaiiam has lost stritsyewom. All has been done, that can be done, to make ours sit llationl unpleasant Still, we say,there is a brighter day ill tho future. Be firm tooursclvcs, true to the principles that burn within us, consistent in our &C., tions, willing to wait for the work ings of time, and as France came forth from the tieae of blood, and England. from tho iMle of tyrants, so will we glide in- 10 the smooth waters ofpeace andpros pcrity.
