That we have iu eVerysrespect; one of the finest, most prosperous towns on White river is undcniable, with pleas urc we make the following extracts from letter written to the Columbia Herald, b:| Professor A. NJ. Burney, brother Q Col. and Dr. Bumcy, of this place; On Saturday evening the longs awaited steamer "Des Are hove in sight, and sooL we were all aboard, and up White river, bound for the fair young city of Des Are. And soon we learned from the crowded condition of the boat with passengers, movers, ad- yentureiS and faruIcrs, with every spe- cies of stock and ArnitSre, household and kitchen, and-dogs, Quorum erant non pauci) that the tide of emigration was flowing Westward, and that the White river country was the Eldorado of their hopes, and Des Arc the only goal through which it could be reached. With this foretaste of its Geographical Importance, we were thrown upon the quiet slumbers of this prosperous little city, wrapt in quiet repose under the shades of the night, of the 7th inst. And here our association was changed from that of strangers to that of broth- CTS, relatives and friends ; here4we met the Dr., with lamp to guide our erring footsteps aright here our mode of liy- ing was changed for the better from the monotony of hotel fare to the lux ury of the private table. On the beau tiiul morning of the Sth, as AURORA arose in majestic splendor, his brilliant rays displayed to view the rising great ness of the fair young city of the West emerging from the gloom and dilapi- dations of war into a busy scene of in- dustry and enterprise. ggrF
 But it's geographical position, it's splendid navigation, its great adyan- tages as business mart, are not all that tends to make Des Arc great little plate. Ii is the abode olls nice, clever and gentecl, and hospitab,e people as ever marked the surface of old terra firma, and could gay more of some of them, but fear my tcstim9ny would be ruled out of court, because it could not be given "wifhout feat, favor Or partiality,' for it has some attractions that might bias the ''stoutest heart"
 We add nothing to this very tlatter- ing notice, all that visit our town arc equally pleased, and the universal yer dict is, Des Are must be great place.
