R. WlatOeld lbs Preple er Arkansas. Little Rock, Jan. 22, 1873. Not quite two years since a corporation was formed under the laws of this state for the purpose of building and carrying on a first-class female school at thia place, known and called the Arkansas Female colleare at Little Rock.

The board of trustees consisted of the undersigned, who are still acting in that capacity. The plan is to proceed imme diately to purchase the ground, and erect the buildings, upon securing sumcient subscriptions. In order to insure and hasten subscriptions, the trustees, with the sanction and co-operation of the Lit tie Rock annual conference, have engaged the services of Rev. A. R.

Winfield, who ill at once; engage in canvassing the state, and be is most cordially recom mended to the friends of education and improvement everywhere in Arkansas No argument can be needed to com mend thia project to you. It speaks for itself and proclaims its Own merits.

Above we have the pleasure of placing before your numerous readers the circular address of the board of trustees of the Arkansas Female college, You will see from said address that this is but the renewal of an effort commenced two years ago to build a first class female college in Little Rock, You will also see that said college is to be the joint property of the three conferences of the M. E. Church South, to-wit the; Arkansas, White river and Little Rock.

The last two named have already adopted it, and we have every that the other will at it next session, You will also see from the above address that the undersigned has been by the request pf the board of trustees, appointed an agent to aolicit funds to buy grounds and put up suitable buildings for the college. The plan which we have purposed to carry out this design aad which the board has approved ia as follows: First To appoint a committee to select suitable grounds. Secondly To canvass thoroughly thin city, and see what amount can be raised in good negotiable bonds, payable in i twelve or twenty-four month, in monthly, semiannual or annual! installments, as may best suit the donor also solicit donations in city Iota and other available (Persons who do not feel able or willing to contribute as much as $20 can subscribe any amount nnder that, and either pay the cash or pay within thirty days.) Thirdly Aa soon as we have made a thorough canvass of the city, we expect to visit all the prominent points of the state, and solicit aid. Our board of trustees have already organized and entered fully into the A committee, consisting of' the following gentlemen, has been appointed, to-wit: Dr. Wm.

Thompson. CoL Mills and B. Blakeney, esq to make a selection of a suitable locution for the college, and they are now canvassing the city in search of the best place snd the best proposition that may be offered for its location. All portions of this city are interested, and can through these gentlemen, make their proposals to the board. Of course, we will reserve the right to make our selection with a view to benefit the whole city, and all donations most be made with that understanding.

We are authorised to assure our citizens that we will try to select not only the most advantageous position, but the most elegant and commanding site io Little Rock. The board has instructed the agent to canvass the city immediately and fully, and he has entered on his work. Henceforth, we mean business. Get ready, gentlemen. Don't detain me, I have no time to wsste in any unnecessary argument.

We have no first-class female college in Arkansas. Little Rock is a great and growing city. It is one of our great railroad centers. It is the capital of Arkansas, and we hesitate not to say that Arkansas ia soon to be ia the fvnt rank or the sisterhood of states. a nniunrit COMMERCE.

Hawkins is an old rail road man, steady and reliable. The Baltimore Bridge company's wagon train, which left this city last Monday for Arkadelpbia, met with quite a number of accidents after leaving here, owing to the deepness of the mud. One or two of the wagons broke down, one re turned to this city, and the others were compelled to "double team." The wagons were loaded with pile driving machinery.

HOHISfT EtWAtSKD. The honest men are not all dead in Little Rock, as has beea supposed by many. The following little incident dis- plays the noble trait of honesty, and the reward it sometimes meets with: 4 Last evening about 6 o'clock, Judge Bingo, one of our oldest and moat re- spectea ciusans, wane on nis way to a a a oquire vnamneriain omce, ny soma mean low an envelope containing are hundred dollars, but be did not miss it until bis arrival at the 'squire's office. as soon as ne discovered nis lose be Im- mediately started back over the route wmca ne naa come, ana wniie rtaasmr the Denckla block he learned that one of the laborers on the building bad found the money and ft at lifleoln's drug store.

The neighborhood of Fourths Dam, about fire miles below this eity, was thrown into a furore of excitement by the attempt of Jasper Nance, a colored laboring man, to kill bis wife. lira.

She came to the city, and, upon making her complaints, Constable Garrett and a posse of men left yesterday after noon to effect the villain's arrest. His wife says his "jealou disposition wa the cause of all the trouble." SHOOTING AFFRAY.

lleree-Trntef Clsbt a Clams-el, Shea by Ihe Sbarrir. aael la riaiaJIw Mi Thursday night, about twenty miles from this city, just across the line in Saline county, a double ahooting affray occurred. In stating the case, we will go back a little and state that; the villain ia question is a horse-thief by the name ojf James E. Murray, who was accused of horse stealing in Grant county, but ar rested in this city, and tried at the last term of the criminal court, found guilty, and his punish meset assersed to be five years in. the penitentiary, but who escaped the clutches of the law on a motion for a new trial; giving bond to appear when wanted.

He failed to appear when wanted, as was expected. and was accordingly arrested by Sheriff Quinnof Grant county, who, with posse of four men, a'arted for this city With the prisoner. On their arrival at El wood's, where they spent Ihe night, the prisoner was closely watched by the guards. Just before daylight, James E. Murray aad his father, whe was accom panying nis son to tnia i aty to ren der what assistance was possible, arose from the bed where they had been sleeping, and young Murray seised a gun, which very carelessly had been left within his reach and presented it at the heart of Mr.

Robinson, one of the guards, and pulled the trigger. The hior Murray, designing the murderous in tent of bis son, struck the gun as both barrels were discharged, their contents passing harmlessly over the head of the intended victim. Young Murray, aeainjt that be bad failed to shoot tne man, clubbed his gun, and struck bins over the head, inflicting a deep and danger ous wound, the force of the blow breaking the stock from the barret Robinson, although badly wounded, palled his re volver and attempted to ehoot young Murray, but was prevented by the fat hen who grasped his hands, but lie managed, by some means, to wrest the stock of the gun from Murray. Sheriff Quinn, at this moment, shot at young Murray twice, and. wounded him once, aa blood was found on the bedclothes in the room where the affray occurred, which prove that fact.

It transpires, however, that bis wounds were not serious enough to prevent his escape from the officers, which he did in quick time, and baa not since been seen. We learn that three of the guards, when the shooting commenced, ran out bf the room, thereby giving the prisoner a better opportunity of effecting his escape. ThieMurray is a notoriously bad man, and baa long a terror in Grant county, and it is to be seriously regretted that he has escaped. K.ATZST rXOJh! DOlbSOM. From Mr.

A. Eggleston, a merchant in Russell ville, who is in the city at present attending the sessiona of th Pope county investigating committee, our reporter obtained the followt ng additional 'statement in regarj to Sheriff Dodson; He was In the car at the Dodson waa shot at Perry, but wheal the train left that place he left if, and I remained, at Perry all day with the wounded min.
