The Border Railroad.

The General Assembly of the State OF
Arkansas, in March, 1867, passed an act
amending the charter Of the "Nerth-
western Border Railroad Company one
Of the cnactmcnts Of which was, that the
Corporation is established for the pur-
pose of constructing railroad from or
near Ca.sville or Ncosho, in Missouri,
connecting with the southwestern branch
Of the Pacific railroad, (now the South
Pacific road and running thence through
Bentonville, Fayetville and Van Buren,
in Arkansas, connecting with the Little
Rock and Fort Smith lrailroad.' Com
missioners were appointed to receive sub
scriptions, &c, and five thousand dollars
appropriated for the purpose of procu-
ring preliminary survey of the route
from the Missouri State line to Fort
Smith.
The South Pacific road will be built to
the west Missouri line, and the Little
Rock and Fort Smith road TO Van Bu-
zen and Fort Smith-both undoubtedly
In TWO Years time or less, and active
measures should at once be inaugurated
to put active life into the Border railroad
company Let the commissioners at
oncc open books for subscriptions at
Fort Smith, Van Buren,, Fayetyillc and
Bentonyille, and by the charter rs soon
as fifty thousand dellars are subscribed
the stockholders can organize and elect
officers and proceed at once with the sur
vey.
Our friends in Washington and Benton
counties are deeply interested in the con.
struction Of the Border road more so
than in any other enterprise which could
be presented for their consideration. 1t
would give them an outlet for their fruit,
wheat, -four and other produce, to both
Southern and Northern markets.
The local business of the road, saying
nothing Of the advantageous connections
1t would have with the South Pacific road
on the north, and the little Rock and
Fort Smith road and steamboat naviga-
ton on the Arkansas river, on the south,
would make it from.the time Of compile
ton one Of the best paying roads in the
country.
We call, then, upon the citizens Of all
the counties on tho route Of the " Border
Road" to take hold of'this enterprise at
once and push it forward to completion.
Organize the company at once.

were ont after the Fisher party, we learn
returned home Saturday night Although
they captured none Of the Fishers, they
succeeded in killing two Of the gang
We copy from the Bentonyllle Traveller,
what we suppose to be the facts in the
case
"Lieut J. Douglass and party, Of the
Benton County Militia, in company with
some of Anderson men, have killed two
Of the Fisher band, and captured anoth-
er. The circumstance took place about
twenty miles from here, on Plsce that
has been occupied by the Fisher families
since they left Washington County
Parties were engaged to watch the prem
ises, and no one could come or leave
without being seen either night or day.
On the night Of Tuescsy last, the place
was visited by Edmonson and Coleman,
and though their presence was known,
they were undisturbed until morning
About dawn on Wednesday, Edmonson
stepped out TO chop some wood, and was
shot at, as warning OF the presence of
the arresting party. He at once rushed
into the house and all was quiet for lit
tie while, when the woman Of the house
stepped out, and seeing party of men
back of the house, seemingly intent on
taking charge of the horses, they went in
and reported. Edmonson and Coleman
thinking this a good opportunity to es-
cape, ruehed out of the house from the
opposite side. This move being antici
pated, arrangements were made to meet
IT, and q party Of men were hid in the
undorbrnsh. and As the despsradoes ap-
preached, they fred upon them; Edmen-
son fell dead; but Coleman, though bad
ly wounded fought with desperation, al.
ternately running and shooting, until
completely riddled, and did not fall or
give up until sixteen balls were lodged
in him None Of the pursuors were hurt
although some had bullets to come very
near them, and after disposing Of Rufias
Edmonson and ohm Coleman, they start
ed to Washington County, thinking they
might find young Fisher, at the residence
Of his father
1t is rumortd that on their road, they
ran across Carter, another one of the
desPeradoes, and having come upon him
before he was aware Of their presence, he
surrendered without resistance.
