DIED,
At Fort Towson, on Sunday, the 23d ult., in the 24th year of his
age, Corporal George B. Coffey, of the U.S. Infantry, who combined
in his character the gentleman and the accomplished soldier; and it
has seldom fallen to our lot to record the death of one whose loss
is so universally lamented. When his dangerous illness was made
known, the greatest anxiety was felt for him throughout the whole
command, and all, from the private soldier to the commandant,
crowded around his bed, to offer their sympathies. His surgeons
manifested the same solicitude, and were untiring in their
attentions, and exhausted their skill in vain. When informed by them
that he could not live, the fearless manner in which he received the
awful annunciation, and the patience and fortitude with which he
bore his fatal illness until death, gave the strongest assurance
that he possessed that cool and deliberate courage which
characterizes the brave; and notwithstanding he had not an
opportunity of winning the wreath of glory which adorns the brow of
the soldiers who gallantly defends his country, yet his memory will
live embalmed in the hearts of his comrades; and the recollection of
his many virtues, his endearing manners, and premature death, will
often cause a tear to dim the manly soldier's eye.
"No kindred eigh-nor soft parental tear
Sooth'd his pale form, nor grac'd his funeral bier;
In soldiers was his dying trust resposed,
By soldiers hands his dying eyes were closed;
By soldiers is his humble grave adorned,
By soldiers honored, and by soldiers mourned"

NORRISTOWN,
THE Commissioners of the county of Pope, having permanently located
the Seat of Justice, for said county upon a tract of land belonging
to the undersigned, and the site possessing many superior advantages
over any other on the Arkansas river above Little Rock, for a large
town, has induced the undersigned to lay it off in TOWN LOTS, and
offer them for Public Sale, on the town site, on Tuesday, the 22d
August next.
Norristown is beautifully situated on the north bank of the Arkansas
river, at the point where the military road crosses it, and equi
distant from Little Rock and Fort Smith. Its location was ten feet
above the highest stage of the great flood of 1833. The adjacent
country, on both sides of the river, is rich, and beautifully
situated for extensive and valuable farms. Most of the bottom lands
having been located, are already becoming thickly settled.
Norristown is the only steam boat landing and depot for the large
and flourishing settlements on the Illinois, the upper settlements
of Point Remove and Little Red river; and even the settlements on
White river, in Carroll and Izard counties, resort to this landing,
as the most convenient for their trade. And the Petit Jean
settlement, on the south side of the river, which is becoming one of
the most dense in the State, does the most of its trading, and makes
its depot at this point of the river.
This town site is so well known by the name of Dardanelle, (which
name properly and originally belongs to the south bank alone), that
the proprietor considers it needless to say anything more in
relation to its peculiar advantages.
The terms will be liberal, and made known on the day of the sale.
N.B. - Also, for sale, the large and commodious BUILDING, now
occupied by the subscriber, together with the Kitchen, Smoke-house,
and other convenient out-houses, well calculated for public
entertainment, which patronage has become so great, as to have
induced the proprietor, of late, to enlarge, and improve the
premises, which is now comfortably and well fitted up for the
purpose; but he, wishing to retire from the duties of such an
establishment, will dispose of it at private or public sale, on the
most accomodating terms. Persons desirous of keeping public house,
will find, in the purchase of this, a great bargain. Among all the
town lots, there cannot be a more advantageous spot than its
location, being directly in front of the steam boat and ferry
landing, and near to the court house square.

This best, commanded by Speaks, will ply, as a regular trader,
between the Mouths of White and Arkansas rivers, and Little Rock, as
as much higher as the water will permit when business will justify
it. She has excellent accomodations for passengers, and every
exertion will be made to render them comfortable. Freight and
passage will be as low as any boat in the trade. For freight or
passage apply on board, or to

TO MECHANICS
THE undersigned is charged with the duty, of employing mechanics to
finish the State House, and other public buildings at Little Rock,
in the State of Arkansas. Between thirty and forty thousand dollars
in money is on hand for that purpose.
The carpenter work, and the plastering, and rough casting, will
constitute the public buildings. There is yet a portion of brick
work to be done, worth, probably, three or four thousand dollars.
The buildings are to be painted in the best order. A large portion
yet to be covered with tin and the Square, three hundred feet on
each side, is to be enclosed with an iron paling or fence.
The undersigned expects to purchase all the necessary materials, at
Louisville or Cincinnati, and take them with him to Little Rock, on
his return in the fall; at which time he expects those who engage to
do the work, or any portion of it, to accompany him.
Little Rock, the place where this work is to be done, is the
permanent seat of government of the new State of Arkansas. It is a
fine situation, and a flourishing place, laid out for a good large
city, and only wanting mechanics to improve rapidly. It is situated
on the south side of the Arkansas, on a high bluff bank, about three
hundred miles from the mouth of said river; and is a point that can
be reached by steam boats the greater part of the year. It is not
only a high and handsome situation, but is well watered, and
esteemed healthy. The latitude is about thirty-five.
The undersigned feels authorized in saying, that there will be
erected, within the next two years, at the city of Little Rock, two
large Banking establishments - one for the Bank of the State of
Arkansas, now commencing operations, and one other for the Real
Estate Bank, lately chartered, and to be located at that place. Both
banks have branches, and as they have been chartered for a great
number of years, they is little doubt but suitable and permanent
buildings will be erected for each.
The general government, by her agent, has purchased a site for an
Arsenal, adjoining the city of Little Rock, upon which, it is said,
many large buildings of brick are to be erected. In addition to all
this, the undersigned has personal knowledge of divers individuals,
citizens, who would put up good large buildings of brick, if there
were a good supply of mechanics in the country.
It is believed that the mechanics who wish to emigrate, would do
well to move to Arkansas within the next six or eight months.
Besides finding plenty of work to do there, they will find the
prices invariably high. We have had no excessively good times, and
we expect no very hard times. The causes which produced high prices
in the State generally, and which are now passing away, have never
existed in Arkansas, and all the distress and evils consequent on
such folly and extravagance, are not looked for in Arkansas for
several years to come. We have had no Banks there to tempt us with
their loans, to engage beyond our own means in wild speculation. The
prices of Arkansas are as high, if not much higher, at this time,
than the prices of Kentucky, and as money will be increased by the
making of banks in Arkansas, it cannot be expected that the prices
there will come down, when all admit that the present prices of this
country are too high and must be lowered. Mechanics who have done
well, during the high prices here, will continue to do well by
emigrating to Arkansas.
The undersigned intends to give the work of the public buildings, to
mechanics who fill accompany him to Litlte Rock in the fall,
preferring first, those who have families, provided they take their
families along; and provided also, that they be sober men who can be
relied on, and their charges reasonable.
Individuals wishing a contract, will communicate with the
undersigned, on the subject, by letter, directed to Danville,
Kentucky, where he will be the greater part of his time, till the
first day of October next. In their communications, they will please
furnish a bill of prices for the work they are willing to undertake.
Carpenters can say they will work by the Louisville printed prices,
more or less, as they may make their bid. Bricklayers will say what
will be their charge for making and laying, and what for laying
only. And in like manner others will give a bill of prices.
Mechanics who know themselves to be good workmen, and of good
character, and who are willing to emigrate would do well to visit
the undersigned, if convenient, and have a personal interview with
him.
It will be expected that those who get a contract, will take with
them a sufficient number of hands to complete the work in a
reasonable time, and that they will be ready to leave by the first
of October.
The Boats of the Arkansas trade are brought up the river in the
summer, for the purpose of repairing, and return as soon as the
water will admit in the fall; upon any of those boats a speedy and
cheap passage may be had.

TO SPORTSMEN, HUNTERS, &c.
Having located myself in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, in one
of the principal streets, nearly opposite to McLain & Badgett's
store, where I intend carrying on the business of
GUNSMITH AND CUTLER,
in all its branches, and on as reasonable terms as can be afforded -
having had the experience of working in some of the best shops in
the United States - I hope to gives satisfaction to all who may give
me a trial.
Also, Door Locks and Keys repaired, and House Bells hung on the most
improved plan.
