The Fight as Described by John
Ph@1ix.
Thursday next, the 18th inst one hun
bred years ago, the battle Of Bunker
Hill was fought on Breeds Hill, near
Boston. John Phoenix Captain George
Il. Derby, Of the United States army
describes the battle as follows: " Many
years ago our respected ancestors
marched up the side Of Breeds Hill by
a flank to the following spirited tune:
: Oh, tweedle dunn tweel
Oh, tweedle DUN twee!
Oh, tweedle. tweedle-tweedle dun tweel
And after getting there, feeling sick at
their stomachs from fatigue, threw up a
line of breastworks aud trenches that
took the British very particularly by sur
prise. Behind these breastworks our
gallant ancestors stood shoulder to
shoulder and received the red coated
minions Of the British monarch with a
destructive and CALLING Ere that threw
them into retreat and confusion. Three
successive times was the attack re-
peated, and three successive times
we're the British mercenaries re.
pulsed. AT the fourth attempt our
ancestors suddenly remembered GER
tain business engagements in the
country which could ne longer be neg
lected and they had not time to remain
and see the matter through. They left,
and a mangled mass of cowhide boots
and Shirt-tails Auttering in the distance
was all the British could descry, When,
out of breath, perfectly exhausted they
arrived at the summit Of Breeds. Gene.
raj Warren, who commanded our aDces-
tors in this engagement, unfortunately
had no business engagement in the
country and got killed in consequence.
This engagement a named the battle
of Bunker Hill, on account of its not
having occurred on a hill of that name,
and a monument two hundred feet high
has been erected on the spot, from the
top of which a man oncet fell and knocked
the whole top off his darned head. From
the top of this monument now floats the
glorious spaug. dangle-stanner Of our
country, and long may It wave"

Sad AHnir.

The Chief Of Police, accompanied by
an enrsged and Inundated father, Wis.
tied the bagnio of Mile Pauline Living
stone on the corner Of Second and Wash.
ington street a few days since, and found
therein the old mans daughter. The
tale was a sad one, but "a old as the hills.
The girl, who is pretty. is of German
parentage and resided in the northern
portion Of the city. Some years ago
she was married to a M~ississippian, but
owing TO some cause or other they sep
arsted, and she became a shop girl in
this city. The little wages that shop
girls receive is not calculated to stimu-
late people 10 pursue the paths Of virtue
through a life Of laborious toll for a mere
pittance not sufficient to support. At
least this unfortunate so concluded, and
consequently, and also for other reasons
OF a domestic nature, she determined to
embark upon the sea of infsmy, which
voyage might bring gold but not honor.
When found by the Chief the ~proprietress
of the establishment advised her to go
home with her father and to think seve-
raj times before she selected the life of a
courtessn, which was a hard one at
best, and not a pathway strewed with
flowers. The woman went home with
her father and remains under s%urveil-
lance, but she declares hat she is of age
and will, at the first opportunity, leave
her home and return to the life of shame
which she had. on mature reflection, se.
lected not only from choice but from
necessity

THAT 15 PER CENT.

 Some of our contemporaries are arking the legislature to remit the l5 per cent. penalty for the non-payment of taxes. That is the lightest penalty we ever had, and entirely too light to ensure the payment. As evidence of that fact, the delinquency in our county is on some of the largest landed interests in the county. What is l5 per cent. when money is worth two or three per cent. q month. Now, wise (?) men would have that little penal tv remitted, so that men may or may not pay taxes, just as they please.

 Clarendon Age: Last Thursday the 23d inst, young man by the name of Lee H. Hill, in the em- ploy of B. J. Lambert was found dead on the road side, near Indian Bay. He had been hauling lum- Der, and the team with a load of lumber came up to Mir. Lambert's house, without Hill, which exci- ted suspicion. and search being made he was found as above stat ed. An inquest was held and the jury's verdict was to the effect that he came to his death by fall ing off the wagon and breaking his neck. Hill is said to have been splendid young man and a good citizen, and we very much regret his sad death.

old flag, it's love for our common country, and it's desire to share one common destiny, but also it's true realizatirn of the fact that brotherIy kindness will make Ar kansas-with her delightful eli mate and untold wealth in broad acres-one of the garden spots of America, to which the weary, hard working, rost-bitten farmer of the north can turn with the hope of future comfort and happi- ness.
 RESOLVED, That we cheerfully recommend the state of Arkansas to all in search of comfortable homes, knowing that her millions of acres are just as inviting, that life and property are just as se- cure, as any other state of the union, and that q friendly greet ing is awaiting all who may visit her towns or settle within the confines Of her great common wealth.
 RESOLVED, That our thanks are due and hereby rendered to Hon. Thos. Allen, A. w. Soper, esq, Hon. J. NJ. Loughborough, the Fl Paso Stage Company, the In dependent Stage Company, and the people of Little Rock, Hot Springs, Philadelphia, Malvern, Walnut Ridge, and others who have without reserve enabled us to see all and judge for ourselves as to the advantages of their state; and we do not hesitate to declare nnr firm conviction that Arkansas is now one of the most inviting of our states for agricul- tural, mining and manufacturing pursuits.

The temper of the English laboring class may be judged by the letter below:
 PRESTON (sEAR MASoAEsTER),
 LANCASTER, ENGLAND, Aug, 16, 1s15.,
 DEAR BROTHER: You say the state of Arkansas is a good state, with q delightful climate, and you ask how many of us are willing to come. We respond that all of US would like to come, but are sorry to say many who would come can not pay their way. When you saw us last you promised to do all you could for the poor to leave this country, and we believe you will. If your state government could in any way open free pass for those of our friends to come, we should ever feel proud of such a government, and with pleasure we would work it out after our arrival. You say there is not a cotton factory in the state. If that be so just come over to this country and place this matter in person before the cotton manufac- turcrs, and we feel assured that many will take hold of it gladly, and be glad of the chance. You know many of them personality; with some of them, when you were young, you learned to spin; they all would be glad to see you, and hear of the state of Arkansas. You say you have formed a com pany, called the International I'm migrating and Manufacturing company; all we say is, we all hope and pray it may prosper, and we think it will. You say the governor and many of the members of the legislature are friendly, and will do what they can to help this great cause on- ward, and we say the men that stand at the head of the state government, that will helpus from this country of poverty, their names shall be held in honorable remembrance in ages to come. You know that Joseph Arch is sending a great many to Canada, but we hear of some dissatisfac- tion, the winters are so long in Canada. You would have little trouble of turning the tide of emi- grafton to your state could you come and lay your views before them, for they all want good win ters. Many of them are greatly excited about your state, and would like to know more about it. You know the class l mean-the farm laborers. They have formed q powerful union, but they are like ourselves--they want to set tie in colonies, and want as much as possible to adopt the coopera- plan; and | have told them, ac- cording to the spirit of your letter, that Arkansas is just the place. Now, we want you to let us know as soon as possible what we are to expect. If you have got us locations, or where or how we have to act. We are very anxious to know all particulars. Yours truly, JonN HoLLINsHuRsr.
