MR. EDIToR-The Message of the Gov ernor of the Territory of Arkansas, has produced little or no comment; 1t is, how ever, pleasing document. The atten- ton of this writer was particularly drawn to that portion of 1t, which recommended cd the propriety of memorializing the Con. gress of the United States for an appropri- alton for road from Helena, to intersect the Memphis and Little Rock road, at the mouth ofCache. For the first lime since she organization of the Government, the Executive of the Territory has done an act ofjustice to section of the Territory long neglected. Heretofore, either a want of information, or an almost culpable Indifference to the true interests of the Territory, and the General Government, has prevented the recommendation of the measure. No one acquainted with the ge- ographical situation of the Territory, will deny that at Helena, the only point ofhigh land in the Territory connected with the interior by rich, level, and measurably dry country, approaches within three hun dred yards Of the Mississippi bank. A knowledge of the country acquired by fre- Inent journeys over 1t, and long resi- dence Tn 1t, has induced the belief, that 1t IS the only point on the Mississippi river, from which road can be advantageousi Y made to Little Rock. At the present time, ii can be easily travelled in three Rays, and this has been the most unusually wet season ever i5riown in Arkansas.-- for a number of years past, even the rainy season of spring has not made it worse than if is at present. OK and horse teams wtth heavy laden wagons and carts, are frequently passing from Helena to within

 thirty miles of Little Rock, with little or no difficulty, except that occasioned by difficulty very unfrequently occurs, and is occasioned by heavy and long continued

 rains. The route now travelled Is neces- sariiy little circuitons, and nothing is hazasded in the assertion, that perfectly good road can be obtained through high, dry country, and the distance be shorten ed twenty miles. No doubt is entertained

 oy those who are well acquainted with the country, as to the practicability or utility of the road. Few citizens of the Territo- Y lave ever imagined that a good road

 could be obtained from Little Rock to the

 'i'ssissipPi river, which would reduce the

 alstance to one buEdred miles, unintor-
