Between some of our Southern and
Western cities there is great rivalry
going on just now. The trade of the
great valley of Red river is the fruit
they wish TO pluck, and We take great
pleasure in assuring them that this
fruit is ripe and exceedingly anxious
to be plucked. New Orleans would
like to retain this vast source of her
life and prosperity! but she will not
pay the price. She depends too much
upon rivers and lakes. These low ,oa-
terhigh-scays are little too unreliable.
New Orleans will lose the prize. st.
Louis wants it. She is bidding for it,
in real modern style. She is a live,
progressive city, wide awake and full
of that energy and enterprizs which
will tell. st. Louis stands chance.
Memphis too, has some aspirations.
Her greatest railroad spirits are now
crying, as with one voice, "Look well
to the Vest" They are fully alive
to the great Importance of doing so.
Railroad connection with Jefferson,
Texas, by way of Devalls Bluff, Pine
Bluff, Camden and Shreveport, is the
object which is now claiming n large
share of their attention. The Appeal
of a late date has this to say:
Shreveport and Jefferson are in the
midst of a virgin soil of inexhaustable
richness. They are as yet untouched
by railroads. In ten or fifteen years
they vii. be large and important towns
with an immense traffic in cattle and
cotton. They do not court connection
with New Orleans half so much as
they desire TO be united with us by
railroad. The merchants of those
cities look upon Memphis as their COM
mercial Mecca. The benefits Of rail-
road communication between this city
and those cities will be Of incalculable
advantage to us.
This is sober truth. "Iloll on sweet
moments"

FARM IMPLEMENTS AND N.curN

FARM IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINE,
Ky.-We had the pleasure last week
of meeting in our Office, Mr.. w. T.
Hollis, of Warren, Bradley county,
who for some years has been engaged
in the laudable undertaking of intro
ducing in our country the use of i'm
proved farm implements and machine,
ry. He is the agent for the celebra.
ted Albums Iron Cotton Screw, the
Taylor Cotton Gin, and Bottoms Horse
Power (all Georgia inventions.) He
is also special sgent for the Chicasaw
iron works Of Memphis, and State
agent for the Heath Well Auger, and
will sell EITHER tools or country rights.
MIR. Hollis Informs us that he intends
to spend next summer west of the
Ouachita river, through this and adj
joining counties, where he hopes to in
troduce these implements extensively.
He is himself a scientific and practical
farmer, thoroughly acquainted with
the use of all the tools and machinery
that he sells, and warrants them all.
We hope our people will pay
more attention to the subject than they
have heretofore done, and we take
pleasure in recommending Mr.. Hollis
as the proper man to confer with upon
this subject. His address for the pres
ent is Warren. He has now on hand
at Camden a few of his cotton screws.
Orders left with us or addressed to
Rucks Il Proctor, Camden, will re-
ceive prompt attention.

A recent number of the Gazette con.
tains some remarks upon the subject
of the organization of the conservatives
of the State, which are so appropriate
at this time that we take pleasure in
reproducing them. That paper says;
Organization, thorough and complete,
is the only salvation of the people.
About twenty counties have already
organized; and in Pulaski county re.
tsrns have been received by the state
central comminee from q number of
townships. The people al the capital
are wide awake. They are not car
ried away with Brindle-tailism, Min
strelism or pasivism. They recognize
at the present but one important thing
the necessity fer an early and COM
plete organization of the conservative
people OF the state ofArkansas' That
being done, the policy to be pursued
hereafter can easily be determined.
Those counties that have, as yet,
done nothing in this direction, should
proceed at once to perfect their organi-
zation in accordance with the plan
adopted bv the State Central Commits
tee. Friends, be up and doing.

THE QUEsTIoN.-The following
statement of the situation and question
for the people to decide is submitted
by the Louisville Courier Journal. 1t
states the case so fairly, and asks the
question so pertinently that we make
room for it:
The history of the last six years does
not present us a series of ono>sidcd,
but it does show us series of unexam-
pied, spectacles. 1t can not be fairly
said that the North has been all op>
preston and the South all patience;
and yet, in spite of much moderation
on both sides Of the line, the country
is slowly drifting into the dreaded one
man power. 1t is worth nobody's time
to speculate as to what might have
been had the North displayed less
grudging liberality and the South
more tolerant spirit. Bad blood of one
sort and another, flowing out from a
very limited class in either section, has
produced plentiful harvest Of corrup-
ton. Every intelligent citizens un-
derstands the state of affairs. 1t is not
the part of wisdom to look back. The
topic for intelligent inquiry relates to
the future; and the people are asked
to consider whether it is best to contin-
lie the Grant administration in office
long enough for it to fence itself round
with extraordinary means for perpetu,
ating its existence, or whether it will
change its ruler and secure, if not a
stoppage of malfeasance in the public
service, at least immunity from the
peculiar danger incident to the pro-
tracted and irresponsible dominion of
a single clique of politicians. This is
the nut for the people to crack.

We clip the following morsel of
good news from the st. Louis Times
of a late date. Every day, almost,
We are more and more firmly convinced
of the early completion Of soms of our
most important railroad projects. Here
is the item:
The Iron Mountain railroad, as well
as the passengers over it, may be con-
graduated on the fact that steam
shovel has been provided for heavy cuts
near Marquand, Mo-, where the cars
have so often been stepped by the
earth slides.
The Arkansas branch of the Iron
Mountain railroad is now finished to
Piedmont, 127 miles from st. Louis
and fifty miles from the Arkansas line.
Piedmont is on the southern side of the
ridge, Oh which the most difficult por.
ton Of the work on the road has been
encountered. The route thence to the
Arkansas line is comparatively level
and will be completed at very early
date.
The prospects are continually brigh.
tening. The day is not far distinct
when the laundering of the iron horse
will awaken our people from their Rip
Van Wrikle sleep, to the new life and
energy, and consequent prosperity.

The Concert given last night by the
Washington Comet Band, was reason
ably well attended, Notwithstanding
the unpleasantness OF the weather.
The performance, we must say, for
amatures, was good. Some of the
burlesques and local hits brought
Gown the house repeatedly. The hit
upon "ded heds," especially, was ex-
cellent, and seemed to be hugely en-
joyed, and by none more so than the
attaches of the Telegraph. The gen,
tlemen' of the band will give another
entertainment tonight, with epresume
a change of programe. Admission
will be only twenty-five cents, and tAo
money will be appropriated by the
band to an object which we think the
people of Washington ought to en-,
courage.

Philadelphia, in the articles of con.
federation, took the Institution under
their protection; and in tho bill of in.
dictment drawn by Jefferson against
George III, one of the most fragrant
outrages charged against him in tn.
face Of the civilized world is embraced
in the words-"He has melted dome,.
tic in'urrections amongst u.s." Later
than this, when the present constitu.
ton was framed, the patriots of that
day saw there could be no union of the
States which would ignore the in,titu.
ton, and whatever might have been
the abstract questions, they wisely con,
coded to sacrifice these for the benefits
of the Union, and the institution was
taken under the protection of the Com
stitution Of the United States, as three
everal clauses therein evidently prove,
to wit-the fugitive slave clause, the
clause regulating taxation and repre-
sentation among the States, and the
one prohibiting the abolition of the
slave trade for number of years. In
fact, when the Southern States began
to move in the late unfortunate struo-
gle, very common argument used by
Union men, North as well as South.
was, that the institution of slavery
found much surer protection in the
Union under the Constitution of the
U. S., than it could possibly find in a
confederation Of Southern States: That
isolated from the remainder of the
States, beyond the pales Of the Con-
stitution, as it then was, the institution
must 60 down. Subsequent events
have proved the truth ofthis argument
by Union men. For the institution, be-
fore the Union was dissolved, and un-
der the Constitution of the United
States, continued to thrive; but when
the Southern States severed their con-
nection with the Union-or the re-
mainder of the States-the institution
sunk amid the shock of battle to rise no
more.
This is but reference to some of the
leading points in the argument of Mr..
Garland. The argument embraces S5
pages Of printed matter in pamphlet
form. 1t will amply pay for reading
on the part of any gentleman of lettcra,
whether he belongs to the legal profess
ion or not. 1t evinces much study
and research. Passages from standard
authors upon law are cited TO prove
the truth of the position assumed, and
the argument will be foud satisfactory
and convincing. We hail it as mas
terly and able vind;cation of the South
ern States against the foul aspersions
50 sften flung against them by the sur.
face politicians of the North, who at
tempt to justify the war of abolition
recently waged against us, upon the
plea Of morality" and "a higher law
When men who are sworn to support
the Constitution and laws of their
country, trample these under foot, and
attempt to set up in their stead the
laws of morality and "a higher law"
they are wandering in land of visions
and the government will soon loose its
anchorage. This doctrine is akin to
Plsto's dream of Republic. The
governments now set up in the South.
ern States are the legitimate fruits of
this idea; and unless there is popu-
lar reaction soon, the entire North
will be likewise entirely prostrate un-
der its blighting influence.
