Thoughts of the Command
 ments.

 Glove your neighbor as yourself'- So the preacher breaches; That's one-half the decaiogue-- So the prayer book teaches. Half my duty can do
 With but little labor; For with all my heart and soul do love my neighbor. Mighty little credit, that, To my self-denial; Not to love her, though, might be Something of trial. Why, the rosy light that peeps Through the glass above her Lingers round her lips; you sec Fen the sunbeams love her. So, to my credit more,
 I'll go beyond the letter; Love my neighbor as myself? Yes, and ten times better. For she's sweeter than the breath Of the spring that passes Through the fragrant, budding
 woods,
 Ger the meadow grasses. And I've preached the word, l know, For it was my duty To convert the stubborn heart Of the little beauty. Once again success has crowned Missionary labor, For her sweet eyes own that she Also loves her neighbor.

Mineral Resources of Arkan.

From the Spirit of Arkansas.
 Elsewhere we have spoken of the agricultural wealth of the state, and deduced figures from the cen sus reports to show that Arkansas gives the largest returns TOT mon- ey or labor invested the soil for agricultural purposes. We have also shown that in the forests of the state exist untold millions, and have given the reports of of some of the most scientific men of the age to prove our assertions; and now we propose to say some thing upon the mineral resources of Arkansas. The field is a broad one and we can only touch upon the salient points, in the present issue; and here, we shall, as in other instances, leave nothing to conjecture, or mere assertion, but give convincing evidences on what we write upon. Arkansas, in her mountain region, possesses more varied and valuable minerals than any other state. Coal, iron and argentiferous galena are scattered through various counties, while valuable copper ores have been found in at least two sections of which we know. And first of coal l: There is no speculation in regard to thIs-the Ouita and Spadra coal mines of which we speak in another article, have and are showing this. Prof. Owen, in his report in 1858, speaks of the Ar kansas coal measures and shows them, even from his cursory eX- animation, to be more extensive than those in any other state eX- cept Illinois. Actual examina- tion has shown that coal exists over the entire western portion of the state, and in the article on "Arkansas Coal" it is proven to be of a very superior quality. And again, most excellent iron ores are found contiguous to the coal. We are told by gentle man who has some knowledge oi mineral, and upon whose judg
 ment we rely, that within twenty five miles of this city, and neal the line of one of the railroads upon one section of land there is coal-bed equal in quality to the Ouita; limestone in abundance and specular iron ore. This com. bination is found nowhere Tn the country except at Chattanooga and there pig-iron is.made at less than one half the price it costs in Pennsylvania or Ohio. There are several deposits of iron-ore ol extraordinary richness and extent in different localities known to us. and which have every advantage of fuel, water and transportation, that but await the advent of cap. italists to make them hints where

says gentleman on the noun tains raises it regularly, and has it ground into flour, and ayers that you couldn't tell it from ordinary flour when made into biscuits. It is easily cultivated, about 1 foot apart in drills, and is said to yield 75 bushels per acre. Ifsuch be the fact, and we doubt it not, it can be made profitable here.
 Fay etteville Democrat: We heard one of our farmers say the other day, that he would sell from 300 to q 1000 bushels of corn at 20 cents a bushel. The corn crop in this county will be i'm mense, and there will be little or no demand for it; however, our farmers should not give their corn away or waste it. A full corn crib is good thing to have about the place at all times.
 Behtonville Advance: Already wagons are coming in from Kan sas to purchase fruit. We have heard oi several wagon loads be. ing sold at 50 cents a bushel. This will be the ruling price.
