Town of Pine Bluff - An Election was held
by the people of Jefferson county, on the 13th inst., for the
purpose of selecting a suitable site for the Seat of Justice of that
county, which resulted, by a large majority, in favor of the Pine
Bluffs, situate on the south bank of the Arkansas, at which point a
town has been laid off, bearing that name; and it will be seen, by
an advertisement in to-day's Gazette, that the Lots will be offered
for sale at Public Auction, on the 15th day of October next.

Town of Pine Bluff,
(Jefferson County)
THE LOTS at this town will be offered for sale, at Auction, on
Monday, the 15th day of October next, and succeeding days, on a
credit of six and twelve months, the purchaser giving bond with
approved security.
The locality of this town is on the south side of the Arkansas
river, about fifty miles below Little Rock, and equi-distant above
the Post of Arkansas, on a handsomely elevated bluff bank, the first
that presents itself in ascending this noble river. This bluff, and
the plain several miles in its rear, are covered with loft pine of
the finest quality, which, taken in connection with a large Cypress
a few miles above, and adjacent to the river, which is surrounded by
four or five saw mills presents, perhaps, the greatest facilities
for building, that can be found west of the Mississippi.
Four twenty miles above and below this site and on both sides of the
river, are to be found the most fertile, wide, and continuous
bottoms of land that this river furnishes, principally above
high-water mark, affording to the cultivator of the soil, a prospect
for the growing of cotton, as well as all the productions necessary
for sustenance and comforts of left, not to be surpassed. The Bayou
Bartelemi, which runs through this country parallel to the Arkansas
River, a few miles south of this place, is clothed with rich
bottoms, sufficient to sustain a dense population. This stream
already claims a flourishing and increasing settlement.
Jefferson County is now rapidly increasing in population, wealth,
and enterprise; and, from the fact that it contains larger bodies of
fertile cotton land than any county of the same extent in the
Territory, in connextion with many local advantages, it will
necessarily give a respectability and importance to its permanent
and central Seat of Justice, which few other locations can boast.
Pine Bluff is as healthy and beautiful a situation as is to be found
on the Arkansas River, and affords every inducement to the mechanic
and merchant that any new town in a new promising country could
present.

LINES,
On the death of Levi Pickens, a Choctaw Indian, who recently died in
the Choctaw Nation West of Arkansas.
By an Indian Trader
He's gone, reporting rifles say;
He's gone, his spirit's on its way
To meet his friends and fathers, where
The red man hunts unknown to care.
In heart-felt grief, they gather round,
In bitter tears stretch'd o'er the ground;
The mourning weeds they outward show,
To mock the hallow'd scene of woe,
His faults, though few, are all forgot;
His widow feels her hapless lot,
His nation mourns a warrior gone,
He sleeps, his toil and labor's done.
His was a noble honest heart,
Freed from all law and strong to act,
He fearless claim'd and paid his due,
With feelings strong, and friendship true.
No fears had he, nor dread, nor awe,
But liv'd and died by nature's law;
He steady saw life's certain end,
And welcom'd death - it was his friend.
The red man fearless lives and dies,
He dreads no hell beyond the skies;
He shrinks from no appending rod,
He dreams of no revengeful God;
He sees the spirit of the air,
His father's whoop has call'd him there;
Where forests wear eternal green,
Where war and death have never been,
Where pure and limpid waters flow,
Where chilly blasts, where winter's snow,
Where white encroachers ne'er intrude,
Nor fears that he'll be more pursued.
Some sixty sleeps have passed away,
Since Poles were planted where he lay,
His rifle, powder, pipe, and food,
The Indian wants to cross the flood.
When mourning friends again appear,
To pay the tribute of a tear,
They pluck the sign that marks the spot,
Which hallowed thus, in ne'er forgot,
Now mirth spreads wide her wonted away,
And all resume their modes of play,
The last sad rites to him are o'er;
His spirit's bless'd, they see no more. - ROPER

Stop the Kidnappers
Notice to all whom it may concern:
On or about the first of August (inst.) were forcibly KIDNAPPED, in
the county of Saline, in the State of Missouri, FOUR CHILDREN, of
red or mulatto color, free persons - one, a male, about 15 years
old, and three females, the oldest about 13, and the others about 2
and 4 years younger, brother an sisters, and children of a free
woman of color by the name of PATIENCE. These children and their
mother once belonged to one Isham Reanis, in his life time, who died
in said county of Saline; and it is believed that one COSTELLO and
others have taken said children into Arkansas Territory, or south of
that, to sell and enslave them. The names of the children are
Shelby, or Shelny, Julia, Timy, and Eliza.
It is to be hoped that all good citizens will use their best
exertions to detect the villain or villains, and forward any
information they may be able to gain in relation to said unfortunate
children, or their brutal kidnappers, to the undersigned, directed
to the Post Office at Boonville, Missouri, as soon as may be.
