THEE 01t>

Our paper now stands s1s
 threshho!d of it's second ycar's sc
 ence; and notwithstanding we are shie. rounded with political gloom, we push forward with hope beating high bid ding us anticipate glorious future. That at all times a we'll conducted newspaper is necessary to the prospcr- ity and dcvelopmcntpf country, is a well established fact now universally admitted. That our paper should be patronizcd in preference to foreign journals, is in keeping with tic cstab- ished custom of the times. Apprccia- ting these facts, we have labored to es- tablish newspaper in Des Arc that would be worthy the patronage of the people and reflect credit upon the country supporting it. How far we have succeeded in these things the ap- pearance and tone of our columns tell. Believing that it would be for the ben eft of the people and to o r int rest, we have reduced our subscription price so as to bring it within the range of practicability for all to take their own country paper; nor does the atl. vantage ofthis step stop at this point, our mercantile friends and business men generally, will see at a glance that paper published at these figures must necessarily have q rapidly increasing circulation, and that it is the best mcdi- nm through which to colninunicatc their business to the people. Our am bition is large; we desire that our cir cuiation be increased until it outnum- bers that of any paper in the State, and to this end we are rapidly hastcning. In presenting ourselves in this article to the reading and advertising public, we do it feeling that we will not be alone benefited. Our columns being well filled with the latest news and containing matter of general inport-' ance from all parts of the country, and upon almost eyeryvsubject, makes our paper richly worth it's price; and it is yet to be recorded, that man by judi cious advertising has failed to reap a rich pecuniary harvest. With these remarks we send eur paper forth, con- fident that it's appearance and worth will attract the patronage of the read ing public, and that business lsen will vote it valuable auxiliary towards furthering their intcrests.1 se .tasE

 BlE~ Night levels all artificial distinc- tlon. The beggar on his pallet of straw, sleeps as soundly as a King on his bed of down. esi Night--kind, gentle. soothing, re- ireshing night-the earthly paradise of tho slave, the sweet oblivion of the care worn soul, tho nurse of romance, of ob- llyion; how the great, panting heart of society yearns for the return of night and rest. Sleep is Gods special gift to the poor; for tho great there is no time hxed for repose. Quiet they have none; and instead of calmly awaiting the approach of events, they fret and repine, and starve sleep, and chide the tardy hours, as if every tomorrow were big withthe fate of some great hereafter.
 Ihe torrent of events goes gearing past, keeping eager expectation always on tiptoe, and drives their slumber away.

Emigration.

Amongst the many'practical and use ful lessons taught us in the late war, was the great value and political inn portancc of foreign emigration. For elgners were never encouraged to come and settle amongst ns. They were never met with those flattering inducements and prospects that greeted them in the north and west. Jealous of our pecu- lar institution our manners and GUS toms, our statesmen and men of capi- tai end influence feared least coming into contact with foreign systems our own might be jeopardized. This, to say the least of it, was short-sighted and improvidcnt. It was the foreign population in the north. to gaeat ex- tent, that has built their towns, cities. railroads, factories and other improve ments. Foreign capital followed then in the track Of foreign emigration. and combined has made the northern and
 western states populous and powerful empires, in ione sense, within them- selves. The samc steps that made Hi nois what it is to-day, will place Ar kansas amongst thepopulous and pow erful in the Union. Let some system be adopted at once to secure at some, future time this desirable result. Our lands are rich and yield a certain and bounteous reward to the hand that fills them. Being cheap they are within the reach of every man, if only energy and industry be applied. Let us by some efieetual means invite emigration. It will take little trouble and perhaps a few dollars expense. but let it be done, There are thousands of good laboring men in the north who would gladly make this their home if they wefc en- cour&ged SO to do. This much we know and believe to be true. The very necessities of the state demand emigra- ton, and our people should delay no longer the effort to secure this desira- ble end.-[ -[Jacksonpor Herald.

 Eey~ The experience of the last year ought certainly to have taught those engaged in agricultural pursuits, the ru- inous folly of planting all their land :n cotton. The steady decline which is taking place in the price of this staple. the enormous and unjust tax imposed upon it by the general government, and the almost utter impossibility4 of procuring reliable labor for it's culti-s vation--all combine to render it's cx-, elusive production very hazardous experiment.. Now that the time is close at hand for planting, we urge up-. on the people to abandon, in great measure, its cultivation.
 The policy of our state at present is to husband her resources, and not. for her people to risk their all in wild spec ulations. The community is the most independent which is self-supporting. The future looks foreboding. and no calculations as to what the condition of the country or the value of any crop will be at the end of the year, can be made with any reliable certainty. But there is one thing we may know and that is, if we are supplied with thenec essaries of life we shall not be brought eo tiiC ctfttc VI ststi iNatlOH diltl suIcFlnR now existing in some of our sister states.a 83ila ga3s9Ni
 Already the suspicion is creeping over the minds ofimany of the western people, that they have, perhaps. in their blinded madness, killed the goose that layed the golden egg. The de- mand for produce for the southern market is daily becoming smaller, from the sheer inability of our people to buy. Now, if we produce every necessary of life at home, as we cer- tainly can, the dearth in their market may lead them to extend their inqui- ries into the polititical world to asccr- tain its causes. And then, when it is discovered that hostile legislation by a party drunk with power, has brought necuniary troublesupon them, their in- stincts, together with good sense, will lead them to cease the exercise of op- pression towards the south and try tho virtue of cultiv ng amity between the two sections.
 E We hope the press throughout our state will urge upon our people the good policy, aye, the absolute necessity of abandonjag fneit af reiilDl, "a ,ssss ssisse largsc, ops of cotton, and af aeyot;ns their efforts to the production of corn and meat. Whatever misfort,nes may overtakc us, let us Ut least have enough to eat. eN, aise
 To preserve our political equality we plunged into civil war; now suppose we follow the dictates of wisdom and endeavor to secure the same object by following the infallible laws of politi- cal economy. Even ii our success should be the same, we will not by this peaceful course reap the same terrible results. Let the wise tiller of the soil consult his own1good sense, and plant corn and look to his stock. to his oyn pecuniary benefit and the great good Iof' the commonwealth.-[Gazette. .
