A New Development.

The good little steamer Native arrived
yesterday from Nackitoch Bluff, on the
Little Missouri river, with 100 bales of
cotton on board. BY the report of Maj.
Straszer, these bluffs are one hundred
miles from Camden. The country
around them is one of the richest in
South Arkansas; the great drawback
being that the roads to market are ter
ribly bad, and intersected with water
courses that frequently stop all travel.
Ifsteamboat navigation can be cstab-
lished to Nackitoch Bluff, it will mate
rally aid in developing the country on
both sides of the Little Missouri, and
will be a new development of trade to
Camden.
Nackitoch Bluff is but twenty miles
from Washington, and it would be the
shipping point of a portion of Clark
Hampstead and the upper Ouachita
counties, with Pike, Montgomery, Polk
and Sewer counties.
Our old friend, Capt. Joe White,
came down on the Native, and he in
forms us the trip was made with ease
and safety.-Cunaelea (A'h.) Democrat.
This affords evidence of navigation
$50 miles above Monroe, and $50 miles
from New Orleans-a note for gcog-
raphers.

West Point and its Scandal.
[E'ron the Cincinnati Enquirer

Between the colored cadet difficulty,
the mobbing by the First Glass of three
cadets of the Fourth Glass, and the pu-
SillanimOuS conduct OF Gen. Pitcher
and Gen. Upton, in regard to the latter
transaction, West Point Academy is
receiving Il pretty thorough airing.
The report ofthc Special CongreSsion-
al Committee sets forth in brief the fol-
lowing facts: Three cadets ofthc Fourth
Class, named Baird, Barnes and Flick
niger, violated the rules ofthc Academy
in this: Baird abscnted himself from
his quarters without leave. and his
roommate hid the offence by reporting
him all right to the scntry-in short,
lied. The same night Barnes also left
his quarters without leave, and visited
Elicllingcr, also making 81 false report
to the sentry. Such were the admitted
offences Of these three cadets, and there
for wore put under arrest the next day
Baird for absence without leave, and
the other two with telling falsehootls to
the sentry.
Before the trail and punishment, tho
members of the First Glass decming it
incumbent on themselves to mote out
the proper chastisement to tho offenders,
some thirty-eight of them convened
themselves into Il Lynch Court and APP
pointed a committee to execute its Or
ders. At midnight tho rooms of the
three offenders were visited, and thoy
were ordered to dress themselves in cit
izens' clothes, which they did. The
Regulators, twelve to one, then march
ed their three prisoners up the noun
tain toward Fort Putnam, and "aftcr
going,' 50 says the committees report,
"a short distance they halted, told the
prisoners they were expelled from the
Academy for lying, and warned them
never to show their fsccs i'll it again.
The boys, when released, took to their
heels, fearing that stones would he
thrown at them, and made their way
the rest Of night. The First Glass then
went back to their quarters, which they
gained without raising any alarm.
The whole affair did not occupy half
an hour, and the victims We're taken
from their rooms in such haste that one
Of them left his watch and wallet.'
These thirty-eight Regulators receiv-
cd a mild rebulle; whilc the three ca
diets, when they returned, where advis-
ed by the Superintendent to resign,
which they did, and thor designations
excepted by the Secretary of War with
out the usual preliminary of first con-
sUlting the parents of the boys. This
conduct of Generals Pitcher and Upton
is too pusilllnimouS for Americans to
regard without Indignation, and they
should be COurt-mnrtaiicd and dismiss
cd the service. If West Point Ac;d-
e1ny can not be better regulated than is
indicated by the late transactions it had
better, for the credit of tho country, be
shut up.

Good News Indeed.

The following dispatch has been kind
ly handed lis by Col. Johnson. Though
short, if we mistake not, its purport
gives promise of a brilliant future for
our city and for that rich region ofTeXas
through which the railroad will pass III
its great "1narch to the sca''-greater,
infinitely, than that Of Sherman's; for
no desolation will mark it's course, but,
instead, farm houses, villages, towns and
cities will spring up along its track, sen
tineling the advent of progress and civ
ilization. The president elect is repre-
sented to be Il man Of very large capital,
and his name alone will be a tower of
strength to the company. Friends to
the westward we give you greeting, ,and
hope the day is not far distant when to
make Il trip to Dallas will be no greater
undertaking than q visit to Summer
Grove is now.
But we will give the dispatch and let
each of our readers build his own air
castles and dream his own dreams:

The Meridian Gazette, of fSunday, con-
tains the following letter from Mr.. J. c.
Stanton, the General Superintendent of
the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road, which furnishes information of
interest to the public:
ssIn view of the completion Of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad at
an early day, it may be interesting to
you to know some facts concerning it
in connection with other roads. Tho
road will be completed March Goth,
1871, at which time arrangements will
be perfected with connecting roads
north and south to run passenger trains
at the rate of twenty-three miles an
hour, making the trip from Now Or
leans in sixty-two hours. The route
will be via Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Lynchburg, Chattanooga,
Tuscaloosa and Meridian. Through
tickets will be on sale for all parts north,
east, south and southwest. Through
bills of lading giving rates north and
south will be given for all shipments of
freight. The attention of cotton ship
pers is called to this route as dispatch
and low rates are insured. Claims for
over-charges and damages will be set
tied promptly. Rates lower than by
any road in the South.'

A correspondent with the German
army in front of Paris writes that he has
made some remarkable discoveries ;ts
to the different wood most available for
cooking, since the destruction of st.
Cloud. For instance, violins are the
only suitable kindlings when one boils
eggs; pianos arc the best to bring out
the juice in a beefsteal>, and ceilings
arc capital for making toast. The idea
that this statement gives of the condi-
ton of things in the Prussinn camp is
suggestive, to say the least.

The Railroad Horror.

POUGHK EEI'SIE, I'cbuary S.-'rhc
cOroncr'S inquest in the ease OF the re-
cent accident was commenced to-day
upon tho body of Walter Stafford. The
testimony developed the facts that the
passenger train was about quarter of
an hour behind time, but was not on
deavorinS to make it up, though rum
ming ut the rate of thirty miles per
hour. The first warning of danger was
given by the engineer of the oil train
about forty yards from the bridge. The
engine was reversed and brakes whiS-
tied down, but the distance in which
the train was given TO stop was too
short, and, rushing on, the engine
struck the oil car on the track. The
liquor, entering the tirc-boX, was igni-
ted, and in Il wonderfully short time
wrapped the foremost cars in flames;
not, however, till the passengers of all
the cars except the foremost had cs-
capped, and the rear portion of the train
had been uncoupicH and pushed back.
The regular signal man at the bridge
failed to signat the approaching express
train.
Tho inquest viii y" continued to-
morrow. Thus far tWCnty-Onc bodies
have been recovered and all recognized.
Dredging continues, as it is know that
