immense proportions. Over 1000 have
enrolled as delegates, besides citizens.
Several district meetings were held

The American Normal Schools AS
sOciation, and National Teachers As
sociatIon of the ladies were addressed

Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

The special correspondent of Dun's
New York Mercantile agency, writ
ing from Pine Bluff, Ark, says;
" As you are advised,
this place is situated In Jefferson
county, in the very heart of the rich
cotton valley of Arkansas. The town
is improving rapidly. Ten new
stores will be opened about the first of
September, and several of them are
handsome buildings.
"This port exported about fifteen
thousand bales of cotton last season,
and there were at least fifty thousand
bales produced in the county. There
is a greater breadth in this year, and
l never, saw the cotton prospect more
decidedly promising. An excellent
corn crop is also assured.
"The planters will be rich this sea-
son if they realize twenty-five cents
for their cotton, and, the indications
are that they will obtain a higher
price. Not a dollar will go out of the
country, as heretofore, for corn, and
less meat than usual will be brought
from abroad The planters are al
ready well supplied with teams and
agricultural Implements, and have
been working like beavers. In fact
there are no drones to be found
among them. Most of the planters
are entirely out of debt and they viii
necessarily have a good deal of sur
plus money to spend in the country
3 thing never before known In the
history of the Arkansas plant
ers. In fact the planters be-
fore the war rarely ever saw their
money. 1t all went to the commission
merchants and to pay for more
'niggers.' In short, this crop viii put
TIE cagntgy In q high state Of prns-
perity,, such as has never been wit
messed before. OF course, the meg-
chants viii reap rich harvests, and
the reports Of this falls operations
VIII give them a distinguished status
in your city, New York should
reach out and endeavor to secure this
trade. The investment will be safe
and profitable. Our merchants gen.
orally are solvent, and are anxious to
preserve a good credit absoad,}'

The Siamese Twins

Chang and Eng Bunker, the Sia-
mese Twins, returned from Europe in
the City of Antwerp, which arrived
on Sunday. They deay that they left
America for the purpose Of being sep
arated, and say that the rumor to that
effect was merely a sensation of Bar
NUNS. The link which binds them
seems to have shrunken of late, and
they are more closely united than be-
fore. They say that they are now de-
termined to settle down for the re-
mainder Of their lives in
Mount airy, North Carolina,
their old home, in which
they spent thirty years as Southern
planters. In theeYening Mr.. Newall,
father of Gen. Grant, jr., and Miss
Jennett Swan, a fair young sister OF
the celebrated giantess, called upon
the twins, who were highly delighted
to see them. Messrs. Bunker inquired
after the physical condition of their
old friend the petite General, and were
informed that he was in excellent
health and spirits, and would pay
them avisit on the fOllQWipg morning
Chang and Eng Bunker are now over
fifty-eight years Of age. Chang has q
family of nine, and Eng Of eight.
They are easy and unembarrassed in
their manners, and appear to bear
lightly the weight of increasing years
Their hair is thin and OF an iron gray
hue, and their faces are shrunken and
wrinkled, but there is fire in theil
eyes which shows that the lamp o
life may burn cheerfully yet for many
long and happy years.-Ne1o Horl

The roughs being largely in the ma
jority they made desperate attack on
the Guards. During the melee revol-
Vers were drawn, and knives and
stones were freely used. After a great
effort the Emmets succeeded in get
ting back to their barges, and put of.
A large number Of the crowd on shore
returned to Jersey City, and collected
some 600 OsympathiZers, and waited last
night at th6landing the arrival of the
excursionists. The intention of kill
ing whoever shot Malone was openly
expressed, but the police was soon on
hand, and after a great exertion and
free use of locusts, succeeded in
avoiding a riot and escorting the ex-
cursionists safely to their homes.
Several arrests were made.
It appears that the private tele-
graph was taken possession Of by the
Governor Of Windward Islands. A
