Whereas, the seat of justice of Washington county, in the Territory of Arkausas, was located and called Fuyellevjlio prior to tho public surveys being made, and when tho lauds were surveyed, the said town fell on section number sixteen, which by law, is reserved for tho uso of schools;
and whereas the said town situated on the south half of tho northeast quarter, and tho north half of the southeast quarter, of section number sixteen, in township number sixteen, north of range number thirty, west of tho fifth principal meridian, Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rc present aticcs of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the trustee of the school lands in & for township number sixteen, north of range'thirty, west of the fifth principal meridian, in the Territory of Arkansas, be, and he is hereby, authorized to select and have set apart for tho use of schools in said township, ono entire section of of any unimproved lands in said township in lieu of section number sixteen; and when the said trustee shall make his selection, he shall file the same in tho office of tho Register of the Faycltcville land office, and tho land so selected shall be reserved from sale, and set apart for tho use of schools; and that section number sixteen, in said township, shall be subject to sale and entry as other public lands now are.

Si:c. 7. And be it further enacted. That all such public lands embraced within the district created by this act, which shall have been oilcrcd for sale to the highest bidder at tho several land ofiiccs at Jackson, Franklin, Fayette, and Lexington, pursuant to any proclamation of the President of tho United States, and which land remain unsold at the taking cficct of this act, shall be subject to be entered and sold at private sale, by tho proper officers of the office hereby created, in the same manner, and subject to the simo terms, and upon like conditions, as the sale ofsaid laud would have been subject to, in the said several land ofiiccs here
in before mentioned, had they remained attached
past. It is thought by tho best judges that it will cost from 7 to 10,000 per mile, ifhc lucks aio mndo of wood, which will probably bo tho case. The wholo lino will be about eighty miles, which at 10,000 per mile, would only amount to m)0000, a sum although it may seem large, yet when we take into consideration the importance of tho woik, and tho advantages which will result to tho country, tho cost, even if it were a million, would hardly bo taken into the account. Tho loss sustained oa tho single article of pork, by the firrnors of tliis country, would more linn doubly piy their proportion of tho interest on a million of dollar. Suppose tho little county of Fayetto were to pay ono thirtieth of the tax of tho wholo State; tho c.tra tax which we would have to pay would be 1,tWu 00. There is annually driven from" this county, about 8,000 head of hogs. It is calculated by drovers that tho shrinkage on each hog by driving is about twenty pounds, which nt three cent (tho
