The Work Advances.

From the Little Rock Republican Of the
10Th ult, we make the following extract
from an article OH Railroads, referring to
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad :
mo doubt the commencement Of the
work on the line Of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad has awakened the
interest we have referred to, throughout
the State and also the letting ofthe con
tract for building the Memphis road be
tween the White and St Francis rivers.
Let the good work 90 on, and we shall
soon be able to announce the commence
ment Of other roads, so earnestly desired
in other portions of the State, The work
on the Fort Smith road is progressing
finely, the workmen have cleared away .
strip sufficiently wide and five miles in
length, the surveyors have reached point
eleven miles from the city, and are still
progressing with their labors. The carts
and barrows ordered from the East have
not yet arrived but are expected daily
As soon as they reach here grading will
commence, and the whole work pushed
forward with all the force and energy tho
contracts can bring to bear"

EE We learn that the Police Justice
at Fort Smith, is assessing the inmates
of the Garrison at that place, from five
dollars to one hundred, towards the sup
port of the new city administration. On
the plea, we suppose, of making them
beneficial as well as ornamental" The
Garrison is only realizing the beauties of
the new order of things in the South.
1t is what they have fought for and
it is only their chickens coming home
to roost," and should not complain. .

DIED,-The Arkansas Standard, re-
Gently published at GAINESVILLE, collapsed.
1t was started about two years ago at this
place by Johnsonite Office holder, and
while ostensibly Republican, was the bit
terest foe Of Radicalsm and true Repub-
licans. 1t was "snake in the grass"
and died because it was not fit to live.
There are some men in this place, whose
names once figured conspicuously in the
Standard, and we rather think, they
don't feel very proud of it---New Erd.
When we bring to mind that the editor,
publisher and proprietor Of the defunct
.Standard, referred to above is noe one
Of the editors Of the Little Rock Repubh-
can, the organ of the Radical party of the
State, and that this notice is made some
six weeks after the demise Of the Stand
ard, we cannot but think the editor Of the
tNer Fra, was giving the State organ a
back handed lick. 1t is intimatcd that
Mr., DELL, has an itching for the position
of State Printer, now that Price is oustod.
He is trying to ride both wings, 1t is
good Lord-good Devil" ,
