rIivrLE ROCK, ...........JUNE 9, is3o.-

 His Excellency JoHs PopE, Governor of this Territory, returned to this place on Saturday evening last, from Kentucky, af- ter an absence of more than six months.

 We are informed by gentleman direct from Washington City, that the bill appro- priating SIS, ,oo0 for the remoyalof obstruc- tions in the Arkansas river, was not ap- preyed by the President.

 LITTLE BILLY has ingloriously fled from the contest, leaving the field in our undis- turbed possession. Perhaps he has very wisely come to the conclusion, that

 1s He who fights and runs away,

 May live to fight another day.'

 If so, we admire his prudence, as it always is submitted. that ssdiscretion is the better part of valor' ''-Or 1t may be, that the sage little Editor is somewhat apprehen- siye of the contents of our unpublished lH- Ae book. In consideration, however, of his good behaviour the past week, we will at present, postpone our proposed publiea- tion. But by way of advice, not untimcly, we hope, we will inform him, the maau- scrtpt is always at hand.

 The Steamboat Waverley, Capt. Pen- nywit, arrived at our landing on Saturday night last, about 3 clock, from the Mouth of White River, and after discharging con- siderable freight, departed early on the following morning for cantonment Gibson.

 We learn that the Steamboat Travel Ter, bound to Cantonment Gibson, is a. ground 15 or 20 miles below this place.
