EpucATIoNAL-The next session of Mir. B. D. Perry's school will commence on the first Monday in August. Than Mr. Perry, no gentleman in our com munity deserves more credit for his endeavors to build mp "a first class school in Des Arc. He has labored under many disadvantages, yet, notwithstand- ing, has built up large and fourishing school. He has proven himself com potent educator-given to his patrons entire satisfaction, and richly meritcd the appreciation of the community. We know MT. Perry well as a gentle man and teacher, and can without hes itation recommend him to parents as a competent instructor for their children. MT. P tells us that he designs procur- ing an efficient female assistant for the coming sessien, that he may readily accommodate the young ladies that may be placed under him for tuition. Those looking out for good school and competent teacher for their chill dren can find none better qualified or more deserving than Mir. E. D. Perry.

The Union Pacific Railroad--The
 Value of its Resources.

The resources of the Union Pacific Railroad, through the liberality of Con- gress, are enormous. The Treasurer of the Company, Mir. John J. Cisco, of New Y York, in offering for sale the bonds of the Omaha branch of the Pacific, presents an estimate ofthe value of the security for the payment of the bonds. The distance to be built by this branch of the Pacific is l,565 miles. The Gov crnment issues its six per cent. thirty year bonds to the company as the road is finished at the average rate of S2S, ,250 per mile, amounting to forty-four mill lions two hundred and eight thousand dollars. The company is also permit ted to issue it's own first mortgage bonds to an equal amount, and at the same time, which by special act of Con- sress are made first mortgage on the entire line, the bonds of the United States being subordinate to them. The Government also makes donation of 12,SO0 acres of land per mile, amount ing to 2O,032, 900 acres, estimated to be sources together, we have total of one hundred and eighteen millions four huhdred and sixteen thousand dollars. This is exclusive of the capital stock of the company, which is one hundred millions, five millions of which has been paid in. 1t is not supposed that more than twenty millions of the stock will De called in. The estimated cost of the road, exclusive of equip ment, Is one, hundred millions. The above exhibit shows that the stock holders of the Union Pacific, by a pay ment of not exceeding S25,000,000, be- come the owners of property worth over one hundred millions.
 The Union Pacific, Eastern Division, is on about the same financial footing. Great as are these estimated resources of the Pacific companies, it is not at all likely that the magnificent enterprise Would have been undertaken without such liberal Government aid. No un- aided private corporation would have ventnred upon building such road. That there should be a railroad con meeting the two oceans, no one ques- tions. It is national necessity, and either the Government or individuals aided by Government must build it. If by the year 1870, the energy of the companies is such that the great con- nection is completed, they will be en- titled to their reward and no one will begrudge them their profits.
