Reese River and White Pine, and says
that if he had claim on the Davis
lode, he would not look any further
for his pile. Such testimony is en-
couraging and valuable. Messrs
Groom and Davis, the largest owners
in the vein, are about packing some
twenty tons of their ore to the Thun-
derbolt mill on Lynx creek, to be
worked. They confidently expect it to
pay handsome profit over all ex-
penses and pack it on mules seven or
eight miles over the hills. Should it
do so, the mine will be valuable, as it
is not more than fourteen miles from
town, has a good wagon road running
to within three or four miles of it now,
Is near timber and water, is large
vein and splendidly situated for work
ing.
Messrs Branaman, Rice and others
brought in good looking galena ores
this week from the Black Hills, north
east from Prescott, which they think
is rich in silver; some of it is to be
assayed and we shall know
Thus it goes, and the Apaches must
think there's something ON the tapis
to see such a rushing around among
their old haunts in the mountains
More of these things when we learn
more. II.

Hon Daniel W. VOORHEES, Is out In a
card in the journal of this city, in which
he proposes an important Democratic
party movement He says: Il keenly
appreciate the Importance of an authori-
tative expression of the principle which
are to guide us in the future MS in the
past 1t should be made at an early
day in order that an organization
should be perfected and confidence re
stored by the time the approaching
campaign is upon us This, however,
should be the work ofa national conven-
tion, embracing delegates from All the
States am in favor Of calling such a
convention at some central point IN the
West, and on day not later than the
22d of February. The call should be
issued bv the National Executive Com
mittee and delegates should be appoint
ed by State and district conventions.
The business of this body should be to
carefully and patiently weigh all the
views laid before it and to agree upon
and publish clear and definite declara
ton of principles upon all matters affect
ing the political welfare Of the people
and the safety of our free institutions.
This being done, it should adjourn to
day fixed for the nomination of candl
date for the Presidency. In the mean
time the people OF the States can discuss
and approve or disapprove of what has
been done 1t would be the duty of all
Democrats taking part in politics to sub
NIT to the voice Of a majority. If there
are such as prefer their own convictions
even to the platfoim Of national con
vention they can step aside III quiet
without embarrassing anybody else. Let
us, however, have political as well as per-
sonal harmony, and success is within our
reach. II the entire Democratic vote
can be consolidated, inspired with en-.
thusasm and brought to the polls, Gen.
Grant cannot he reelected 1t was the
vote in our own party that stayed at
home in the days of the late election
which wrought such wide spread defeat
There is no increase Of the Republican
vote.
~ make the above suggestion, know
ing that it is entirely practicable, and
that it meets an urgent demand Of the
present crisis, shall respectfully urge
it upon the attention Of the National EN
ecutiye Committee, and ask for it the IA
vorable consideration Of conservative
men everywhere "

80 seldom that travellers, passing through
Arkansas, can drop cheering word for

copying:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. Q, II.
Ep,roR ADVOCATE: While travelling
tbronph the State of Arkansas, in com
pany with my father, We stopped at van
Burep, a nice little village on the banks
of the Arkansas river, for five days. Dur
ing my stay at that place witnessed the
first fair of Crawford County, and permit
me to congratulate the citizens Of this
county, being their first effort | must
surely admit that it was perfect success
On the first day of the fair Col. Fishback,
Of Fort Smith, delivered an interesting
address. The Colonel is a clear headed
gentleman and understands the advantage
of fairs, This display of fruits, vegeta-
bles and ladies' handiwork was elegant
and would do credit to an community,
who have had fairs for years. | predict
that only a short time hence the scrubby
cattle Of Arkansas will give way and the
blooded stock of Missouri and Kentucky
will be in their stead, and the long nosed
hog will rattle no more bells.
Van Buren, already has railroads point
ing in that direction, and when once
completed she will be known to her Sis
ter towns as meteor of brilliancy
While dwelling upon the place must
remember the kindness Of its citizens.
1t reminds me of old times, before the
war, when the oimighty dollar was not
known as mans God
The young ladies and gentlemen of
Van Buren, are very generous indeed. |
do sincerely hope the future may be all
brightness for them. May the Angels of
Heaven assist them in all their duties,
especially the duties of the Temperance
Society, which will be the making of the
rising generation of the male sex, if they
will abide by the bylaws and regulations
of the Society
Also the merchants must not be for
gotten Van Buren, can say one thing
that no other town in Arkansas, or any
other State, can say, that is this, there is
not single merchant in the place but
that is good for all goods that he may
buy on time Yes, Arkansas is wide
awake. Soon, very soon, will her sister
States rejoice that she is among them in
the line Of Improvement every day.
