GFGodey's re- print of Blackwood's Ma 90 zine,
for October. reached US last week, containing ex-
cellent literary matter. All English of course,
but Of the best kind.


sz3eCHANGE OF WEArHER.-After six weeks of dry
weather since Fall set in, it has at last turned
cooler-enough soto draw US around our firesdes,
and on last Wednesday commenced the rainy sea
SON, by good drenching showers.
8. 1HANKs6tXNdDAY.-ln another column will
= be N4sr e Proclamation of the Governor, of the
= appoismsht &c horsday, the 9th day of Decem-
her hext; asa Day of Thanksgiving throughout
the State Of Arkansas. We hope our fellow -citi.
zens will be mindful to adopt such measures as
will testify their gratitude to kind Providence,
for His bountfu favors during the past season.


GFFrom the items we gather by the arrival of
the alabama, are satisfied that all commupi.
cation between Gen. Scou's army and Vera Cruz
is cut off by the guerrilas. We see tha, Santa
Anna has resigned the Presidency and the COM
mand of the army; and had marched at the head
OF 2OOO cavalry, to Pueba, to Gu; off our trains.
THAT LAST DROP OF BLooD.-We see that Sa n,a
Anna ran away from Gen. Scott again at Mexi.
CO, and although he has resigned the command of
the army he still promises to shed that last drop
blood for the liberty of the nation" He was
mighty careful of the first drop.


GIVE see it mentioned in the Missouri pa pers
that the Arkansas battalion had arrived a, Fort
Leavenworth. In this, we think there must be
some mistake. No such " battalon'' has been
raised in this State.


IHE New WoRLo.-Park BENJAMIN has re-.
sumed the publication of this valuable paper
He has engaged the services of Messrs. Hsnry
W. Herbert and John E. Hyde as aids in its con.
ductIon; and from the appearance of the sex
change" by this mail, we predict for it an extern
sive patronage.


IHE MASSACRE OF OUR TTooPs.-We believe the
paragraph stating that 1900 of the American Ar.
my were massacred, by the rabble IN Mexico. is
unfounded. The statements are all contradictory.
and Of Mexican origin. The La Patria, Span.
ish paper in New Orleans, that is ALWAYS ready
10 believe the disasters to our arms, doubts the
truth of it.


GWe-are indebted to the polite officers of the
steamer Cotton Plant for late New Orleans na
Pers.' We understand that this fine boat has re-
sumed her trade between New Orleans and the
Mouth Of Arkansas
