We learn, by gentlemen who arrived here on Saturday, from Crawford
County, that the Steam-boat Superior is detained about 20 miles above
Fort Smith, in consequence of having sustained some damage in her
machinery, which prevented her from getting up to Cantonment Gibson. Her
cargo was sent up in keel-boats. It is considered doubtful, we
understand, whether her machinery can be repaired in time for her to
descend the river before the water becomes too low, which my occasion
her detention until autumn.

VALUABLE REAL ESTATE,
FOR SALE
THE subscriber, having removed to the county of Hempstead, offers for
sale his late celebrated residence, called the COLD SPRING FARM,
Situate 10 miles south-west from Little Rock, on which there is between
60 and 70 acres of open land, under good fence, a good log house,
kitchen, and smoke or meat house, horse lots, some 40 or 50 peach,
apple, and cherry trees planted, and a number of black locusts growing
in the year and around the spring, &c.
There is not a situation in the Territory of Arkansas more celebrated
for health and convenience. It is near the centre of the new but
flourishing upland settlement, the soil of which is better adapted to
the growth of small grain, cotton, corn, grass, &c. than any high land
in Pulaski County. It has a never-failing spring of water, pronounced to
be the coldest and best in the Territory, by all who have drank of it,
and a choice situation for a spring or milk house, &c.
A family of about twenty in number resided on it last year, and
notwithstanding it was an unusually sickly season in the surrounding
country, not a single fever made its appearance among them, although
they were unacclimated and from a northern country, which circumstances
alone is sufficient evidence of its healthful situation.
Terms - cash or young negroes. Mr. T.W. Johnston, or my brother, Dr.
John R. Conway, are authorized to make sale of the premises.
