Forest and Stream SpOrtsmen's
Club Of Monroe County. for
the protection Of Game and
Fish.


For some time past, Col Z. f. Norton,
Samuel Buckley, Hon. Wm. Davis, Hon. c.
Burnett, District Attorney Lee, Samuel
Huffman, Chester Fulmer and number of
other gentlemen, have been discussing the
necessity of forming an association for the
protection of game and fish in this County,
from the merciless slaughter of unprincipled
sportsmen, out of season. Nor did they
stop here, they also discussed the necessity
of adopting some measures by which farmers
might be protected from the intolerable nui-
sance of having their fences thrown down
and crops destroyed by these same persons
whose sole object seems to be, not only to
shoot every thing that has feathers on, but
to do as much mischief as they can in throw
ing down fences and running through grain
fields Col. Norton has, ever since his ad-
vent amongst Us, taken a great interest in
protecting the game that abounds in this
County, and says there is no county in the
State so suitably adapted for game as Mon
roe, if the game laws were only enforced
and the game protected from the wanton
slaughter out of season. The result Of their
discussing the subject was meeting of the a.
bove named gentlcmen, and several others,
at the Office Of District Attorney Lee, last
Monday evening, and Club formed, to be
known as the Forest and Stream Sports
mems Club Of Monroe County, for the pro-
lection of Game and Fish" 4 permanent
organization was effected with Col f. f.
Norton, President; ID. S. Lee, Esq Secreta-
ry; Benz. i. Butts, Asst Secretary; Chester
Fulmer, Samuel Huffman, Samuel Buck
ley, Hon. c. Burnett, Hon. VIM Davis,
John Baldwin, and John Selwood, Vice
Presidents, and Edwin Fisher, Treasurer. =
At the next meeting which will be held at the
Burnett House" next Monday evening,
Vice Presidents will he elected from each
township, thus securing hearty coopera-
ton in the enforcement of the game laws in
every section of the county. Several invita-
tlons were sent to prominent citizens Of the
different townships to attend the meeting last
Monday evening, but owing to the short no
tice they failed to attend however, several
letters read from different gentlemen ex-
pressing their regrets at being unable to at
tend on account of the short notice and hear
tily endorsing the object of forming the club,
and pledging their support. The Club de
serves a liberal support from all who are in
terested in the game laws, and especially
from the farmers who suffer the most from
haying fences and crops destroyed by a set of
fellows whose only delight is to kill and de
stroy,
a cordial invitation is extended to all who
are interested in the laudable object of the
Club, to attend and join, at their next meet
ing, on Monday evening next, 9th inst.

The Little Rock and Fort
 Smith Railroad.

This much needed and long de layed road is now in a fair way of being completed. This does not result, as the Gazette and some other papers claim, from the cs- tablishment of the new constitu- tion, but because the terms of the land grant made by the United States to the road require it's con- pletion. Built merely from Little Rock to Fort Smith, the road will be q great convenience to the peo- pie, and will ultimately induce settlement, in the counties for which it serves as an outlet; but for years, if these continue the terminal points, the stockholders in the road will receive no divi- dends. While this is undeniably true, it is also true that the Little
 Rock and Fort Smith railroad can be made one of the country. To accomplish this an extension
 must be made at each end; from Little Rock to Pine Bluff, con meeting there with the road to Chicot City, and from Fort Smith to Muscogee, where it will connect
 with the entire railway system of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. To Pine blutl the distance is forty miles, and from Fort Smith to
 Muscogee it is sixty, so that by building one hundred miles of railroad there is obtained an un- broken line from these western states to the Mississippi river, six hundred miles above New Orleans. But examining the map it will be seen that going north from Muscogee, on the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas road, at Venita, the connection is made with Parsons. Kansas, and that at Parsons one road leads north to Topeka, and there connects in every direction, while another road leads Go Atch- ison, where various connections are made. The Fort Smith road finished, as we have suggested, would be the way all the products ol the country west of the Missou- q border and south of the Missou- ri riYer would be transported to 1 aarket at Memphis or New Or leans. At Little Rock the con 1 leetion south with the Mississippi

enjoyed supper very much. Ali ter supper we talked, and listened at our kind old friend telling his experience in killing bears and panthers in an early day. He
 told us of a lead mine not a great way of, where the Indians had
 worked the place or had found lead. he said he could find the place by stones that had been placed upon the edge pointing diff fcrent ways all to the centre. We talked railroad to him; he became interested and said if the road should pass through his land he would subscribe 80 acres to the railroad company. It was time to retire, the bed was pointed out to us, and one by one we turned in for the night. The bed was mar row for three, and one of our com panions measured about ? feet across the shoulders; he was mid de man and you may suppose there had to be some spooning.

PERTINENT QuEsTIoNs-The Alba ny (N. Y.) Argus in an article on the treatment the South has re- cieyed since the war, puts the fol lowing pertinent questions: In the name of mercy, of peace, ofliberty, has not the South been sufficiently punished already? Is it not enough that their land is desolate their gardens, cemete- ries of the dead who fought for what they believed to be their rights; the peace of their homes destroyed, and their finest lands sold to pay extortionate taxes? Have we not had enough of the harvests of war, North and South? ? Have we not cursed, and villified, and persecuted each other sufli- ciently? Is there pleasure and prosperity in vengeance? Is the future happiness of the country to be secured by crushing the only intelligent portion of the South ern population beneath the angry heel of conscienceless despera does?
 The South submits to every ex- action. It acquiesces in all the results of the war, as they have been defined in the Constitution. And now is it not about time that the North began to look out for itself? Manifestly, it is for the interests of all classes here, that the government of the South be in the hands of the whites.
 The key to the solution of the settlement of all hard feelings and sectional strife between the North and the South, lies in q radical change of the method of treating the South. Whenever the treat ment here referred to, is changed into Q respectful observance of our rights, and we arc placed on an equal footing with other states of the Union in the enjoyment of our constitutional privileges, then, and not until then will the country begin to enjoy permanent and healthy peace.
