The last feature of abomioatiqp in- this abomina

The sews-frmn Liverpool did not reach the
cotun market-id New York in sufficient time to
have any impressive effect on the operation/ of
the day on Wednesday; yet the market was good,
and people seemed pleased with their operations.
Holders spoke of “only a few balce”—buyers
spoke of “thousands and thousands^’and between
the two an approximate opinion might be formed
that the man who said he had otHy a few
thousand, and the man who spoke of thousands
required oofy a 'few to keep his spindles from
rutting. Bo tho case as. it may, the business of
the day was a little better for the holder-—the
rates being: Upland 37. 48,^10.; Florida, 37, *8,
Ale;; Mobile, 33, 49. A2e.; New Orleans and
Texas, 38, 50, 52c; Towards the dose, the mar
ket was excited- and irregular, the sales being
4,009 bales,.with a buoyant tendenoy. On Thurs
day the affairs of the day were inanimate. The
little exoitemeut whioh had previously existed,
completely subsided, speculation ceased,
and the sales of six thousand one hundred bales
were ail to exporters aud home manulaeturers for
present use. The buyers were precise in their
selections and gradatious in value as the follow
ing rates wili show : Upland, 40, 46, -49, 52;
Florida, 4l„ 47 , 60,52; Mobile, 41, 47, 50, 53;
New Orleans, 42 48, :>t, 58. Yesterday a iair de

quite so-stroog as the day before, as holders to

effected were 3,050 bales—for Upland, 49, 45, 51;
Florida, 41,40, 52; Mobile, 41, 50, 52 ; New Or

Yesterday a sale at auction of 3,181 bales of
Government cotton was held-in Broadwey, com

On'Wednesday the'stock market in New
York was firm and a good volume of business
done. Gold opened at 145, rose and fell by
fractions, and finally settled down after a'fitful
existence at 145 1-8. On Thursday the market
in general was fairly active yet unsettled and
fluctuating. The bears hammered away—now
operating—then retiring, and the pulsations
consequently were up and down, but only at
about a small fraction. Gold was decidedly
in the ascendant, opening at 145 3-8 and

We mut yesterday several young gentlemen
who have lately returned as paroled .prisoners
from thp Trans-Mississippi Department, who.

Crescent K?giment that l?ft this city with so
much eclat fittia over two years ago.- The reg- -concluded, Jud
iment numbered eleven hundred strong, and
was composed of the sons of our old citizens,
many of whom were taken from the schools
.before they had ever reached the higher class
es-. They"had been called outfor three months
servipe, and in the expectation that they would
be released at tho expiration of their term of
enlistment, many youtbe wore persunded to gd
who had not attained an ago. and maturity
suited for military service. But the termina
tion of their service occurring at a moment
when the war was raging with tho greatest vj-
oloncSr, few were permitted'to return or wore
so inclined, and tho regiment was therefore re
organized and enrolled for the war. From
that time the Crescent city boys were subjected
to a series Of trials, hardships, exposures and
vicissitudes that told dreadfully upon their once
full and enthusiastic ranks. Engaged in many
of the most bloody battles that hove marked
the progress of this sanguinary war, this regi
ment has been several times so reduced or dis
organized as to destroy its regimental orguni-
zatiyn, and compel its consolidation with other
regiments. At the battle of LabadieviUe the

Bloody Settlement of an Old Tend In
Jackson County.
.A serious shooting affair occurred at Neely’s
afore in Jackson County, on Wednesday, 29th
nlti Th« parties concerned Were Awe men by
the name of Williams, and one named Clare,
on one side, and two Hams, father and son, on
the other. The cause was an old fend existing
for some time. For the purpose of settlement
they met at tho precinct on election day, armed
with rifles and doubled-barreiled guns. At the
first fire one of .the ^Williams was killed, and
Hautjsr.,-firing at the uther brother, Newton
WiUiuBffi missed his aim, the ball unfortunately
taking Sect on-’the'body of a Baptist preacher
named Grantham, and inflicting what is bev
tieved to be a mortal wound. Meanwhile, the
younger Ham was shot down, and- his father
standing over him defended his body with
dubbed but empty gun. While thus engaged,
Newton Williams approached, and firing one
barrel with fatal effect into the breast of the.
father, turned and discharged the Qther through
the head of* the prostrate and disabled son.
This ended, the difficulty. Nowton Williams
remained on the ground nearly all the day, as
sisted in the burial of his brother, and defied
arrest. Next day Captain Bawn, of the 7th
Infantry, in command at Marianna, with a file
of men, proceeded to the spot, and arrested
Williams at his own house. Clare, at last ac
counts, was still at large.—Quincy Common

Waking Ur.—We are glad to see that the
Jacksonville papers are waking up to the inter

ing passengers but little more that 150 miles.—
Up to the Spring 01^1862, the tare was buf six
dollars, and high enoagn at that. Fare frem this
place to Savannah, by way of Jacksonville, is
-now twenty seven dollars and a haU v not includ

may be detained a day or two. When the Gulf
Railrdad is again in operation, an it will be in a
few days, travellers can go from here to Savan
nah by rail in twenty : fouc hours, for fifteen or
eighteen dollars. As four-fifths of the peop'e oj
Florida reside west of Lake City or the Suwannee
river, it is altogether probable that under exist
ing arrangements, they will prefer, to turn oft’ at
Mooticelio’or Madison, amLsuve time and money
by keeping the Railroad to Savannah. So, if
Jacksonville desires to hold- on to the travel she
has monopolized during the past six mouths, her
citaeus out to be exerting themselves speedily,

[.From the New-Or&ans Crescent.j
A relic of the past is seen in a man, bearing
upon his face and body the impress of many
years. This man walks the streets daily,
bearing the marks of misfortune, amid the
friends he had known fn better years, but with
an appearance so changed, one can hardly re-
eognize in him the Mercutio of the Crescent
city, the gay, witty and elegant gentleman,
who was’ at one time the very leader of fashioa.-
Seedy habiliments, a bent body and wrinkled
face, bate . nearly obliterated all in him that
was familiar in the past. Inheriting a great
fortune, he increased it largely by martiage,
and from bis profession at the bar bad an in
come of forty and fifty thousand a year, and
received a single fee of $60,000 upon a claitp
on real estate in the lower part of t&e city.
This weatth he scattered with princely gefi£--
rosity and royal profusion. He was a Luculius
at home, and bis hospitalities aspired to all
the magnificence of the ancient Roman noble
man. In 1837 he gave a single soiree that coat
$25,000, and which exceeded in splendor any-
Siing ever before known here. The very floors
.over which the dancers moved were covered
with scenic paintings, the work of the most
accomplished artist then in New Orleans; and
in the saloon were gaming tables were arranged
stood’two baskets—one filled with bank notes
and the other with gold, for the use of those
guests who were unfortunate with the fickle
goddess. Tho dispenser of this gorgeous hos-'
ntality jr now dependant npon his relatives,
tie takes his loss with Christian resignation,
and does not fly from tho world or rail against
if, likeTimonof Athens, but moves- through
Hie world with a pleasant and urbane manner,
if he had still the princely fortunekt com

To Uis Excellency the Governor of. Louisi
ana j .' , y » ‘ '
Snt—I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt, through you v _of a communi
cation from Luther Ronaldson, for the
restoration of fifty-one p,cres of land, with
the improvements, lying within the
breastworks at Tort Hudson; and to .state,
in reply, that this property was captured
from the public enemy at the expense of
much blood and treasure, and that the
title is now in the Government of the
United States as captured property, . I
have nt> idea that this title will be relin
quished, or the property restored, so long
as the-control of the Mississippi River is
of any value to the United States.-
The legal reclamation of the applicant
is against the late rebel Government, and
not against the Government of the United
State? If he is, in equity, entitled to
any relief, it is under Hie constitutional
provision that private property shall hot
be taken for.public use without just com
pensation, or under the provisions of the
third section of the act of March 12, I860.
In either case the claim must be support
ed by clear proof of title, loyalty at the
date of original seizure, and that no com
pensation was paid, or agreed to be paid
'i>y the rebel Government. , %
I am, sir, ve«y respectfully, your obe
dient servant, .
Jh>. R- S. Oanbv,
Major General Commanding.
This letter most undoubtedly settles
this clash of cases, so far as Gen. Canby
is concerned-—N. O. True Delta.
Gqttqn Statistics.—The following is
ah 'official statement of the movement
m cotton since the 1st of September last:
Receipts at all the ports in the United
States, 41j00© bales, export to Great Bri-
tian;. 174,000 bales; export to France,'
11,800 hales; export’ to other foreign,
ports, 3,5(Mj bales, including 186,306
oales; stock on hand.-385,4)00 bales, in-
olnding 108,000 bales in. N ew York mar
ket. -. '.*. * »
It is stated that in the Atlantic .ports
but little cotton is sold, most of it being
exported to the North and to Europe’
jfrom fpst hands, or on orders execute
up country. Improved railroad facilities
have largely increased the receipts, par
ticularly in South .Carolina. In Alaba
ma, low water hitherto kept back
cotton, and the recent rains wifi proba-
bly bring a considerable qHkutity to light.
Ln new Orleans prices are well sustained,
att that market is better supplied with
buyers and'money than any other.—
