The Moffat Register.

The Des Arc Citizen is in favor of introducing the Moffat Register in Arkansas. It says:
 "The Tennessee Legislature has a bill before t to introduce the Moffat register in that State. It is a good thing and the Arkansas Legislature ought to introduce it in Arkansas. The saloon keeper has to pay a license of two and one-half cents on every drink sold, which is registered on the machine by ringing once for every drink"
 The Moffat register is the expe- dient hit upon by Virginia for the pay yment of the public debt. By the tax it is estimated that revenue of $500, 900 will be received annually. Strenuous efforts were made to de- feat the law, but Legislatures and Courts alike sustained it, and now it is popular with all classes. The Tdrinker does not mind the small ex- cess Of tax put upon his dram, the saloon keepers do not object, and it is a matter of DO concern to other people. Suppose that we introduce the register Tn Arkansas, receiving two cents on each drink of beer and ale. The revenue raised from this source would not be less than $500 900 annually. Suppose that we ap- ply $200, 900 of this amount to the extinction of the public debt, $200,- 900 to our common schools, and $l0O,000 to immigration purposes. Would it be g good ldea?-Little Rock Gazette. f5

 E We arc in receipt of a printed cir cular from Mir. w. A. Webber, stating that at the request of Senators Gar land and Cravens he is preparing q Statement of Arkansas resources, climate, schools, &c., &c., for the use of the Hon. Wm. G. LeDpc, U. S. Land Commissioner, at Washington, to be incorporated in his next report. We are requested to furnish answers to a series ofquestions, and as we are continually in receipt of letters from the north asking similar questions we have determined to answer through the DEMOCRAT. The an swers are given and numbered to correspond with the number of the question propounded.
 l. AREA--Pope County has an area of about 720 square miles, or 460,S00 acres. The county is about 20 miles cast and west, and 36 miles north and south.
 2. SURFACE AND ToPoGRArHY.-- The surface of the County is of di- versified character. In the northern part of the eounty-is broken and hilly, with running streams of pure spark ling water coursiDg their way along the intervening volleys. Along these streams there are rich valleys of land and many fine farms. The table lands on the tops of the mountain spurs are undulating, but rich and level enough to admit of cultivation. Some good farms have been opened upon the tops of these mountain ridges. The timber here is fine; walnut, wild cherry and chinquepin often grow to be ? to 2I feet in diam etre. In the southern part of the county, except in the river bottom, the lands are high we'll drained up lands, the elevation being perhaps 100 or 120 feet above the level of the river bed. In the vicinity of Russell xille there is q beautiful prairie with an area of about 5000 acres.
 3. TIMBER-The County is well timbered. Some ot the finest piner- ies and cypress brakes in the State are here to be found. Oak, of all kinds, Hickory, Walnut, Gum, Ash, wild Cherry, Cottonwood, Sycamore, &c., &c., aboand.
 4. WATER CouRsEs. s.-The Arkan- sas river sweeps the southern bonn- diary of the county, flowing in q south eastern course. The county has river front of about 30 miles, giving us a large body of river bot tom lands. gaQ
 Bic PINm and LITTLE PINEY wash es the western border of the county, flowing from north to south and emptying into the Arkansas river about half way between Russellville and Clarksvilie.
 The lands along Piney are equal to River lands and some of the finest farms in the county are to be found along these creeks. The ILLINOIS BAYOU rises in Searcy County, just north of Pope, and flows down through the hills in southerly direction dis charging. into the Arkansas river 3 miles west of Russellville. There are some fine mill sites on this stream. GuM LOG CREEE, small stream

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has received the silver salver given him by "Columbia women," and in ac- knowledgmcnt writes:
 "What of assistance l have been able to contribute to the relief ot your State from tue evils of misgov- iernment, was rendered to people bound to those who sent me here, by every tie of kindred, of interest, of deathless memories and enduring 'sympathies. l shall treasure this beautiful gift through life as me morial of South Carolina's new birth, and of the too generous tribute paid to me by her daughters for the aid it was my privilege to render in the time of her distress and humilia tion."
