ARKANSAS.

lutions adopted by the large ana intelligent party of editors of the Northwest, who have just made a tour through our state. The res olutions were adoptcd-unanl- mously adopted-at the depot, after the excursion had been ex- tended into every quarter of our state which it was practicable for our distinguished friends to wis and they may be taken as the judgment of intelligent, disinter- ested men who are thoroughly ad- vised by actual personal investi- gation as to the subject matter touched upon in the resolutions. These resolutions are no ex parte relation of the condition of affairs in Arkansas, no exaggeration of her resources and advantages matched up in the brain of inter- estcd partles, no whitewashing of of bribed Investigating commit tees; but the full, free, and disin- terested opinion of large num- Der of intelligent men whose pro fession makes them watchmen upon the tower oi liberty, and whose motto is, ''the people 8 rights maintain, unawed by infu- ence and unbribed by gain"
 These resolutions merely cor roberate all that we have claimed for Arkansas all the time. The press of the state have heralded the same facts to the world and gave the same assurances to those seeking to ascertain the true con 1 dition of affairs in Arkansas. Our assurances have been taken as the statements of interested 1 parties, our representations as the pleadings of an ex parte coun. cil only, but when the substance of all that we have stated stands corroberated and endorsed by the resolutions of such body of men as those who have just visited our state and made a personal recon oisance throughout her territory, the truth of what We have claim ed for Arkansas, to-wit: that she is one of the greatest states in the Union on account of her soil, her timber, her minerals, her climate, her water-c courses, her natural mill sites, and her navigable rivers and that her people are free from all guile or enmity to good men who may desire to avail them selves of her rich advantages come from where they may-and that they will welcome all such to our state and treat them as brothers.
 And now a word to our own people before we leave this sub Iject. We have the elements of wealth and greatness-there is nc question about that. These at fractions will draw immigration and capital and we will eventually be q great state, but we must not expect any spasmodic mushroom growth. We must be patient, and in the meantime those of us who are here must labor to make our country prosperous by being industrious, thrifty, frugal and temperate in all things. No mat ter how great our natural advan- tages may be, unless we can show individual and local evidences oi prosperity, contentment and en' Ijoyment, we will not acquire that accession ofnew population which we wish to secure.
 Let our people ponder upon this.

POPE COUNTY.

We have been receiving numer- ous letters of inquiry from all quarters concerning this particu- lar section of Arkansas. We have invariably replied in as clear, can did and correct a manner as we knew how, sometimes through the DEMOCRAT, and we have sought through our paper to represent things just as they are. We have sent copies of our paper to many parties and shall continue to do so as long as we can accomplish any good. We know of no county in Arkansas which has changed more within the past two years, than Pope. The whole prospect has frightened. Our people seem to have turned over new leaf and commenced with better reso- lutions. Every body seems to be doing their very best to better their condition. The old order of things seems to be inadequate to the wants of our people to-day, and they are evidently determin- ed to be q progressive people. Good feeling and good will pre- yails from border to border of our county. Our farmers are strug- gling with a right good will to get out of the old rut, and we think they are doing it. We have more reason to feel buoyant with hope for our county now than at any period since the war.
 For general description of oul county our space at this time is too contracted, but we append the following short description from the Resources of Arkansas, which is correct so far as it goes. We shall give a more elaborate de. scription of Pope at some future time:
 Pope county is bounded on the east by Conway and Van Buren, south by the Arkansas river, west by Johnson, north by Newton and Searcy counties. Surface irregu. lar, hills, uplands, creek and river bottoms. The river bottoms arc wide, and as fertile as any soil in the valley. Cotton yields from three -fourths to one and a hall bales per acre, corn from forty to seventy bushels per acre, wheat from fifteen to twenty five bushels per acre, and other cereals and grasses in the same ratio, with in ierior cultivation. The uplands are fine and fertile, adapted best to corn, small grain, fruit, tobacco and the grape. Very many living and cold springs break out along the banks and valleys of Point Remove, Galla creek, Whig creek Illinois bayou and their ailments Water-power is abundant on all these streams. A large and per petual mineral spring wells on the mountain above Norristown, and has been a noted resort fol inyalids for years. The timber o1 this county is principally large oak, cottonwood, walnut, cherry pecan, hickory, gum, sycamore pine, etc. Coal is found in many parts of this county. Iron ore oxyde, carbonate and kidney abound in the hills. The range is very fine, the most superior and is very fine for stock raising especially sheep. Clover, timothy and herd grass grow well on the lowlands. The Little Rock an6 Fort Smith railroad passes through the county. Population, S409 Russellville is a thriving town or the railroad. Gala Rock and Norristown, on the river, are ship
