the Washington Patriot, deposed the

ment ever since Bowen was made
president of it. But now | regard its
future as bright as its past has been
gloomy. ..
There is another subject to which |
desire briefly to call your attention.
Col. Smith, of the engineering corps
of the United States, has just finished
a survey of the Ouachita river from its
mouth to Camden. He is a very in
telligent gentleman, and reports that
the river can be made navigable all the
year by erecting five locks and dams.
the expense of which will not exceed
six hundred thousand dollars. He
will recommend the appropriation to be
made. This, with the Camden and
Red River road, will give the people
of South Arkansas all the facilities
their wants require, even though we
should fail to secure any other railroad
communication.
If the people of Hampstead, Sewer,
Little River and Nevada will make the
effort we are making here, and sub
scribe to the stock OF the road as lib.
orally as the people of Camden have
done, and will work as energetically in
its interest as we are doing, its success
will soon be placed beyond question
| hope, therefore, they will 60 to work
with a vim, and never cease their efforts
until the locomotive makes its appear
ance in their midst. They may rest
assured we are in earnest, and will do
our duty at this end of the road.
Yours respectfully,

Lewenboeck tells us of an insect seer
with the microscope of which twenty
nine millions would equal a mite. In
sects of various kinds may be seen in
the cavities of a grain of sand. Mould
is a forest of beautiful trees, with the
branches, leaves and fruit. Butter
flies are fully teathered. Hairs are
hollow tubes. The surface of our bod.
les is covered with scales like fish; a
single grain OF sand would cover $50
of these scales, and yet a single scale
covers 200 pores. Through these
narrow openings the sweat forces itseli
like water through a seive. The mites
make 500 steps second. Each droT
of stagnant water contains world o.
animated beings, swimming with al
much liberty as whales in the sea. Eacl

A pretty household ornament for
the winter season can be easily made
by taking large turnip and scrape
out the inside, leaving a thick wall
around: ell the cavity with earth and
plant in it some vine or morning glory.
Suspened the turnip with cords, and
in little time the vines will twine
around the strings, and the iurnip,
sprouting from below, will put forth
leaves and stems that will turn upward
and curl gracefully around the base.

TAXES. Every dime of profit on
our Southern farming has been paid
away in "a a2es.. In the past five years
we have raised for export fifteen mill
lions of bales of cotton, all paid for
by foreign buyers, not in cash, but in
merchandise, which paid an average
duty of more than thirty per cent; OF
in other terms, the South has contribs
uted to the Government five hundred
millions bales of cotton in five years,
Our indirect or tariff tax has equaled
thirty or forty per cent. upon the
aggregate exported product of oul
State in all forms. Besides this, il
divers ways, we pay an Internal reve
nue. tax of more than two cents in tn
dollar. After these heavy exaction
come our State and municipal or paris
taxes, amounting to six or eight cent
in the dollar. So that our triple taxes
imposed by governments in which w
are not represented, amount annually
to one'tenth part of all the propert,

A SUCCESSIVE CoINCIDENCE.-Th,
Sth day of October is twice memorabl,
in the history of the United State,
On the Sth day of October, 1864, the
tair valley Of the Shenandoah was laid
waste by Sheridan and his hosts.
Our houses, our barns, our mills, and
even our sanctuaries dedicated TO God
became a prey to this relentless fire
fend. For fifty miles burning houses
and barns lit up our valley, and upon
every hand the cries of our frightened
women and children tell upon the ears
of the relentless demons. Seven years
have rolled around. The anniversary
of that awful day is marked by burn
ing homes and widespread desolation.
Chicago, the beautiful city of the West,
has fallen a victim to the flames.
Michigan, the home of those who
obeyed the inhuman orders of Sheri-
dan, the fire fend of the Shenandoah,
i, desolate by the far reaching tongues
of an irresistible fire. Thousand have
perished in the flames. AS if to make
the coincidence perfect, Sheridan fig
ures in both. "The mills of the Gods
grind slowly, but they grind exceed

and the adjoining counties.
CAMDEN, Nov. 2, 1871.
j. Z. Borden, Esq.-Dear Sir;-
At a meeting of the citizens Of Camden,
in the interest of the Camden and Red
River railroad, held on the evening OF
October oath, there was nearly sixty
thousand dollars of cash subscriptions
to the stock of the road taken, besides
considerable quantity Of land and city
lots. At a subsequent meeting, the
subscription was increased to seventy
three thousand, with the assurance
from several gentlemen Of means that
they would take liberal share of stock.
] think | can safely pledge Camden
for one hundred thousand dollars in
cash aud IT'S bonds for like amount.
The people are nOt oniy hGpeful of our
success, but are fast becoming enttusi-
astic in their feelings, and confident in
the belief that we will build the road.
There may be few doubling 1hom-
.ases," with now and then thrust in
our side from some man who has his
own selfish purposes to subserve. But
the business men--the thinking, active,
AHEAD, determiEed, live men of the
country, both see and feel the import
ance-I might well say the imperative
necessity-,of building this road, and
will, therefore, put forth their energies
to complete it. s.t. l
hazard nothing in saying, that a
railroad from Memphis via Devalls
Bluff and Pine Bluff to Camden and
Shreveport, will be built in short
time. A Contract, with bond and
security for its faithful performance,
has been made with responsible parties
40 do the grading on this road as far as
Pine Bluff. 1t will be extended 10
Camden by the time we build ours to
Washington, and thus giving the peo
pie of your section uninterrupted com
municstion with the markets of the
world. The NJ, o. & r. r. road is
also being pushed ahead, and will be
completed beyond any sort of question.
We have every reason to believe It
will reach Camdon in eighteen months.
l would not make these statements if /
did not have good reasons to believe
them to be true. | know there are
some who will seriously doubt this, but
if they had studied as closely as have
the causes which must lead to this
result, they would agree with me. l

nor indirectly, with the NJ, o. R. R.

"A lawyer of Titusville named
Jos. X. Turner was nabbed recently
for forging. perjury. false pretenses,
and otherwise defrauding Uncle Sam.
1t appears that Mr.. Turner was en-
deavoring to collect little bill of over
500 pension, for Soldiers widow in
New York. We have not heard but
that the claim was just one, but Mr..
Turner was little too anxious to rush
things, So he got a prostitute to per
sonate the widow, forged a Justices
name to the affidavit and sent in the
claim. The Postmaster of Titusville,
for some reason or other suspected foul
play, anl notified the proper authori-
ties of his suspicious. When the let.
ter containing the draft came, it was
directed to Mrs. Calkins, the widow
whose claim was sent in, with iustruc-
tions to deliver to her in person, and
to no one else. When Mr. Turner
called for the better he was info med
of the instructions received by the
postmaster in re.ard to it. He then got
one Victoria Jackson to go with him
to the Post Office to personate Mrs.
Calkins. She come, yelled. One of
tho clarEs 1vos arouaiute1 with tho
pensioner, and that she might be rec
ognized, she was asked to raise her
vail. She did So under protest, and
the fraud was discovered. Mr.. Tur-
ner was nabbed by an officer who was
waiting there for that purpose. He is
now in Jail at Erie awaiting trial be-
fore U. S. Court. He will doubtless
get good round term in the peniten-
tiary, as he dese' YES.
