ing saloons, and every other kind of Ebusiness houses in abundance; and plenty of children and more being
 borr every day, and yet Des Arc is too poor to build even one school house of
 the most ordinary kind. If we were
 to advocate or even suggest thc propri- iety or possibility of building up a sub-
 staniial male and female college in l Des Are, we would be afraid that our
 neighbors and townsmen would think that VIC were visited with monomania
 on the subject of education. We arc told that the good people of Austin have subscribed some eight thousand
 dollars to build upa good substantial
 high school there, and it speaks vol umes for the good taste as well as good sense of the Austin people. At lick
 ory Plain there is fine flourishino
 school that is an ornament and credit to the noble spirit of that people in fa- yor ofeducation. But turn your attcn- ton where you may and you find evil dences of q spirit of enterprise abroad among the people; disposition to odl ucatc and develop the powers of mind in the rising generation, and why in the name of reason and common sense. and common pride, do we not bestir ourselves in furtherance of a cause so yitally important 10 the immediate in- terest and welfare of q town so advan-, tageously situated as Des Are? Go to the business mep and citizens of Des Are, andsask them to subscribe to the building of school houses, and listen to the poor, sickly, sentimental excuses. They have all suffered so much by the war, have lost everything, have been entirely broken up, suffered more than everybody, but would like to do some thing to help build upa school house ill Des Arc, if able; but sain't able to buy meat and bread. Watch these same whining, suffering poor fellows, when they go to the. clothing store, saloon, or billiard table, money is plen- ty, nothing said of war or it's unholy influences. Such is the consistency of many in the city of Des Arc-for some. will pesist in calling if city-and VIC have money to meet all emergencies except school house, and strange to say, it is deemed throwing money away to give it for such purposes, and men calling themselves friends of the city of Des Arc thus act. There is not one-llalf dozen men in Des Arc that do not spend more money for fine dress ing and sumptuous living on them selves and families than they did be- fore the war. It is perfectly astonish- ing that everybody was broke up men that never were worth five cents lost thousands. 0, what seape goat this war has been; all the errors and sins of q miss-spent life are piled upon the war H N.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE.

Somebody has remarked or written
 that | constant drop wears away q
 stone; and VIC are half inclined to sub scribe to the saying. Our town is dai- ly increasing ip population; houses are going up as if by onchantment, and everything external would suggest to a stranger that Des Arc is fast improving iii all the requisites and indispensables ofan industrious, thrifty, enterprising and public, spirited people. Our churches have undergone some inn provement, and are now accommoda- ted to the reception of church-going people on soft, sunny days, and occa- sionally at night if the air is not too cold and searching. But let stranger prospecting around visit our beautiful location for city, and see the number of children ensconced in different shapes of houses in and about our city, we mean for him to visit the interior and suburbs of Des Arc on some warm and pleasant day when the chil- dren cen safely venture out of doors, and count faces or noses, and then ask him if the prospect is favorable for a poor pedagogue in and around this place, and surely he would say yes. But ask him after he has closely and
 ninntely surveyed and examined the town, if he noticed any domes, cupalos or spires proudly mounting upas testi' monials of seats oflearning, or indice' pointing to the original source ofligh' and knowledge.

COMMUNICATED.

MR. EDITOR :--It is understood that we are to have but one mail each week from Memphis above Devall's Bluff, or in other words, we BAcKWooDs people up White River are to have but one mail each week; that is, at Des Are
 Augusta, Jaeksonport, Batesyille, etc. Why was this arrangement made :? Who were the high contracting parties to this agreement, and for what purpo- ses was this done? It is understood that certain individuals in certain To- realities (between Little Rock and Memphis found it to the interest of the GOVERNMENT, or at least to them- selves, to represent Cor rather to mis- represenD that it would not pay (them) to have the mail carried twice a week above THE BLUFF; and in order to sat- isfy the Government of this important fact. certain DIsINTEREsTED individuals took upon themselves, or himself, to make the pilgrimage to Washington, and then and there present the import ant fact 10 the proper authorities, to give to the people above Devall's Bluff mail once week; and to the pure and immaculate Entities q daily mail, or as often as Uncle sam could ia vor them. They of course merit supe- rior facilities and favors from the Government, as they have so many in- stitutions of learning and published newspapers, churches and business houses at the Blulf as they have q railroad running nearly through the town; and White river bends beauti- fully and gracefully to touch the mod ern Mecca The Bluffs blessed with a variety of RACES or casts, and should
 have daily mail access to and with the literary and COMMERCIAL world. He
 was provident fellow who saw these things and the vast interest to accrue to the GoYerment by stopping the ex- pense of having the mail carried up the river above the Bluit twice week :; the fellow was posted in commercial
 statistics, and reported the many thou sand bales of cotton and other pro- duets of the country round about the centripetal city daily coming in. But how has the contract recently made to have the mail carried daily from Mem- phis to the Bluff, thence to Little Rock been carried cut? Have these simon pure, high contracting parties carried out in good faith the contract, or have they ingloriously backed down? We speak of these things because we feel that an intentional wrong has been perpehated by certain ones, that, for the present, we will not name--that an injustice and wrong has been done us, through uncalled for misrepresenta- tions, the result, perhaps, oftwo things, jealousy and an undying thirst for grecnbacks. We happen to know when, how, and by whom the wires were pulled, and at the proper time We may find if to be our duty to unmask THE THING. For we claim it as a mat ter of right to have two weekly mails
 up White river, from Memphisto to Jack
 sonport, and it matters not if other people have daily, or even tri-daily
 mails if they will tell the truth and
