LONDON ITEMS.

We have had abundance of rain and crops were in good fix to receive it.
 Last Friday night wind and rain storm passed over our little town, and I understand that it has done much in- jury to the corn in thisxclark' town
 There has been a protracted meeting going on at Georgetown, and l am sor- " to say with very little success so far. We had the pleasure of hearing relig- ious discourse by one of Arkansas best pulpit orators, Mir. Puckett. We can say that never before were we so i'm pressed by sermon, so simple that a child could understand it, and yet elo- quent enough for the most learned.
 We noticed in your paper of the 26th a few items from Cagle's Mills. Now we do not blame our Brother of the Mills for copying the aforesaid items from such a celebrated writer as Dr. Franklin, yet we do blame him for not saying that they were not original. Probably he is like ourself when com pelled to use the little talent God has given us, we find our writings so poor and our composition so bad that we are I ol hope does not want to make us all ashamed of our scribbling. Stick to your natural storeroom of knowledge {; the ideas of any one, if they are orfgi- nal, will be read with great deal more pleasure than the old stale writings of our forefathers. We are incapable of writing anything instructive or of much interest; therefore when we read your items on the first page of the DEMOCRAT it caused us to feel asha ned of our miserable attempts; but when we came to examine into the dark re- cesses of our memory it all seemed plain to us and l can say you have come as near copying the exact words as you could; leaving out the remark that most of the wise quotations were made in Dr. Franklin's almanac.

IMMIGRATION.

Rev. z. T. Bennett, editor of the White County Beacon is one among the best posted editors in the State. Here is what he thinks of the pros, pect for Immigration to our State:
 Immigration to Arkansas next Fall will, in our opinion, far exceed the number of any previous year since the late war. Our opinion is not hastily formed but rests upon req sons, drawn from reading and from admitted facts. Thousands upon thousands in Northern, Eastern, and some of the older Southern States, are desiring ia better country" Several years the tide of emigra- tion has been to Texas and Wes- tern States; but from causes, un- necessary to mention, the tide is ready to change, can be changed, and IS changing, giving our State a very favorable opening to reap the benefits of a desirable influx of labor ing and moneyed men. For these classes, Arkansas was never a more inviting field than at present.; laboriDg men can obtain lands for farming, fruit growing, and stock raising on very reasonable terms, and capital invested in manufac- turing enterprises is exempt from taxation. We know no State Tn which these branches ofindustry and eDterprse can be made more pro- fitable than Tn Arkansas. Further, at no period Tn the last decade have the tokens of prosperity been more hopeful than now. Exempt from political strife and communistic riots, peace reigns, throughout our borders; having escaped the ravages of extensive drouths, destroying insects, and fearful epidemics, our material prosperity has increased slowly but substantially; the cause of education is advancing, and the spirit of progressive enterprise in creasing; the prospects of abundant crops are very lattering, lands are exceedingly cheap, and with pleas. ant homes for million inhabitants Arkansas extends the welcome hand.
