Interesting Lester from ore OF our
q Citizens
Editor Eroiagage:
Thinking commpHication from an
absent Milanite might prove interest
ing to some of your readers, | en-
brace the first opportunity have had
of writing to you. l had the good
fortune ON leaving Milan to meet with
that n1cst gtnial gentleman and popu-
lar conductor Capt. T. NJ. Hutcher>
cot, who, Of course, made the trip to
Memphis pleasant. Remaining in
Memphis about thirty hours, l en-
barked on the NJ. & Z. r. r. Trans
fer boat, and was soon landed on the
Arkansas side, and starting for Little
Rock.
A great deal of the country between
the Mississippi and St Francis rivers
is overhowed, many fields of corn and
cotton are entirely destroyed. The
road through the swamp is necessarily
rough, but the railroad officials seem
to take every precautiOn to render the
trip safe and comfortable. Before
reaching Little Rock, / made the ac>
quaintance Of Prof. Hodges, of KY,
a gentle1afa Of culture and considera-
bic literary attainments. We arrived
at,Little Rcck Saturday morning, and,
having nothing else to do, we spent
the day in interviewing the citizens of
the Rock, and made several very in
teresting acquaintances among the
others, Judge Wiltshire, the represen-
tative frcm this congressional district,
and Gen, Pierce, formerly a promi-
men journalist of this State. In the
evening, We went out and witnessed
a game CT base ball between the Arse
mails, WHICH is composed of Federal
soldiers stationed here, and the Acct
dentals Of this city, which resulted in
a victory to the latter, the score being
81 to SO. Sunday morning several
gentlemen dropped into orr room,
prof. II. and myself were rooming
together and commenced discussing
literary subjects; and l soon learned
that we had party of amateur elocu-
cutionists. Gen. P. gave the most
perfect rendition Of Poe's raven l ever
heard. Prot. II. read the maniac splen-
didly. The greater part Of the day
was spent by the party in reading and
criticism, with your correspondent for
an audience. Concluding that | had
spent as much time as | had to spare
for Little Rock, ] started Monday
morning at 2 o'clock for Hot Springs
and arrived at Malvern, the nearest
railrcad station, at. day light, and
took stage for The Springs. The road
from Malvern to the Springs is very
rough, 50 much 50 that / hardly know
how to describe it TO you; the distance
is variously estimated from 90 to %
miles, the time eight hours. | can
assure you, to take a man at / o'clock
a. m. without his breakfast. and

eight hours creates a Tcry Serious ach-
ing about the pit of his stomach. !
