ۥ1. Joseph Bond* I)eh-Pat Mrulora.
Id oar yesterday's paper. we sotioed the tragic
re>u’t of the encounter between Col. Joseph Bond,
o! M a, and Lamina Brown, of Dougherty ooon
ty. b-c iC e making that announcement we have
learned n foil wing particulam from a gentleman
who has visited the scene of the Homicide since it*
occurrence. I’ appear** that Mr. Brown war em
ployed by Col. Bond as an overseer upon one of his
plantations In Dougherty county daringthe year
18.>8. and was discharged from bis service by the
latter on account of objectionable and improper
conduct. The circum taccea under which hu dis
(Uarga was considered necessary. were thought,
by Col. Bond, sufficient to justify bis refusal to Mr.
Brown t< visit hie plantation, or to have anything
t o do with his negroes.
A day or two before the fatal meeting, a boy be*
•nging to Col Bond stopped at the blacksmith
of Mr Beall to get a drink of water. —
While there Mr. Brown, who was the overseer for
this year for Mr, Bj&U, fame up and made an at
tac k upon the negro The boy, after receiving a
ueve-* whipping, and afar making one or more
iiiffl • uaJ efforts to get away, finally succeeded in
ob’ ng protection from Mrs. Beall. Brown de
*l. >, mm his castigation of the negro and the lat
ter v it tome to hirf master, and made complaint of
tfe R’jove treatment.
O the morning of the 1-th inst., CoL Bond rode
over to Sir Bealls’, a plantation adjoining his own,
i.i ,l ,iire into the matter. He entered the field in
w Le was informed t at Mr Beall was, bat be
fore seei .g Kim he was met by Mr. Brown who
was ar - or. horseback. A conversation in relation
to the difficulty with the negro ensued. This,
naturally enough, led to insulting language, which
Col Bond resented with several blows from a cane
i,ed in b band in a moment both parties were
upon the ground grappling with each other.
Daring th*f conflict Mr. Brown drew a pistol, and
-- c n! ng it to *ne breast of Col. Bond, fired—*he
bail taking effect in the lower part of the right
breaat, p*i f-ing through the body and eut at the
Wide of the left jouldtr. Col. Bond, taintingun
**r the effect of the wound, staggered back against
n fence and, drawing a rtvolver, fired two random

f. i.t t ar.e. He was pursued, arrested, and at the
of our lat# f . information, was in the custody

Mr Editor A few refleetionß on the material
that compoee moet of our Coliegee may not be ifl
aiviced at a time when eo much ie being aid and
written about them.
Seperate and distinct from all otheie, if there f
one thing in which we ehould feel an eepeci&i pride,
‘tie our various institutiona of learning. But like
everything that elicits general interest, it ie suscep
tible of general abuse. The evidence- of tbie abuse
must be drawn by a comparison between the ad
vantages our Colleges once afforded to the facilities
they now afford.
As to what constitutes facilities of education, we
take wrong ideas. A maaaivepile of brick and mor
tar, although they may dot every hiil and valley in
Georgia, is no facility per te. The most competent
Presidents, and ablest Professor®, do not increase
the facility for acquiring an education under the
present system that governs most of our institu
tions. Why ? Because we once required age as a
qualification in students, independent of everything
else. An almost unconditional retrogression from
the old policy of the “requirements,” be- doubUees
been remarked by many who have either seen or
felt some of the evils that were naturally coupled
witn it. The various educational agencies that
have multiplied over our land, whether from the
natural result of civilization, or the too prevalent
spirit of competition , are, I doubt not, the true
cause that first stimulated the compromise with the
old usages of our institutions.
Years ago our Colleges were filled with young
men ; men who could not only appreciate the ad
vantages surrounding them, but could understand
what they were required to do a striking
contrast may now be seen in the hundreds of bear d
less youths that throng our College halls—boye that
should still be under the immediate protection of
their parent* or guardians.
Hence, I thiuk the reason that among so many
gradutea we find so few educated men. It is
a physiological truth that the maturity of the
mind is directly dependent on the correspondent
maturity of the body, and to cultivate it as it should
be, obedience to the laws that define the relation
between it and the body, should be observed.
Moat of our people are governed by the assump
tion that it is a bad mle that will rot work both
ways, evidently so, too. in their adopt ng the com
mon error thst the education of the mind is inde
pendent ot every physical development or maturi
ty ot the body.
Pls eaay, indeed, to develope the physical man
without cultivating the mind, but the contrary is an
antagonism against the laws of nature and common
sense, that results disastrously to the young. Talk
as much about these degenerate times us people
naturally will, when looking around at the young
men of the present generation , how can it be other
wise, so long as parents hurry off their children to \
boarding schools and Colleges, before their habits
are formed ? Just at that period, when he shows
some tign by which we may judge the favorable or
unfavorable material that association la weaving in
the grouu.d-work of his character, is the time above
all others, when the assiduous care of the parent
should be exercised in giving it that mou'd that
will not only shield him from the vices of the world,
but prepare him for usefulness in whatever avoca
tion he may be called. But the facilities are so
great, he is hurried off to College La though it were
a kind of machine for educating every thing that
comes within its reach. It ie a hazardous undeita
king to make men of boys, although the machinery
may be perfect, and diplomas in abundance. No
kiln of & modern school can season him &t thirteen
or fourteen by cramming a little smattering of Latin
and Greek in his head unless there be no difference
between memorizing and understanding any thing
But aside from other considerations, the boy at
the age to which I allude susceptible to a;iy sett
of influences that may surround him, be they far
good or evil, and aa no one will question but that
evil predominates among the ruejority of boys of
this day—Le assimilates himself to the tastes and
disposition of ot hers by a force of circumstances
that amounts almost to coercion.
Hence, our Colleges are becoming the most pro
lific eource of “fast boys ” of all others, and only a
little investigation is required to substantiate it. —
They are stand-points from which maturity can see
such an heterogeneous admixture of tastes and d;s
positions—of characters that were formed under a
variety of circumstances and almost all different
brought together in one common whirl of daily as
social ions will influence the majority of young men
unless fortified by a large amount ot common sense
and reason.
If I wanted to raise a “ fast boy” I would be
more likely to succeed by sending him off'to College,
at the age to which I allude, and in nine cases out of
ten he would get too fast to sta y longer than one term.
But when reflection comes—the time when the
powers of his mind are marshalled for the great con
test of relieving himself from the sh&ckels that have
bound lim to the altar of a false and misguided
philosophy, the points of his nature weakened by
association* and habits that a parent's vigilance
should have overruled, are first assailed, and these
yielding, it may be, for want of moral nerve, or
that pride of character which he has uot learned to
cultivate, he rekindles those prejudices in a soul al
most deadened to evory finer feeling of a man.
He has learned to hate virtue, to court vice, in
the allurements of which he drowns that “
small voice,” that liko a spectre in the midnight of
his ownrovellings—whispers,—“ beware!”
I insist t at the greatest injury a father can do a
son is to send him to College when be is too young
to understand and digest w hat is crowded iu his
brain.
Boys should vibrate (so to speak) between old
field schools (heaven save the name’) and the plow
handles, until they are at least eighteen.
Let them feci that stimulus that age brings—that
society peels something of them more than the
idle whims of boys, and then send them to College,
aud my word for it they will then make their hay
while the sun shines ! Time then, is precious ; and
they improve it uud are sent back to society with a
more lasting evidence of their qualifications than
the mere flourish of a parchment scroll a mans
head and a man's heart.
But, Mr. Editor, 1 have drawu out my article al
ready too long, yet there are many other strong
pciutd that could be adduoed to support, my posi
tion, that J hope some “Richmond’s'’ pen inay
serve up for your readers.
The most illiberal oonstructionist cannot, I am
sure. dif*ort my article into an antagonistic position
against Colleges. While I love and honor them tor
what they have done, 1 do not the less depricate the
evils that observation has taught me, flow from them
—so 1 will close with the suggestion, that we baiid
fewer Colleges, and endow what we already have
better, and let our people think more of the physical
education of their children before they attempt to
lay :ho foundation of that great mental power that
govern Mio world. Pomeranps.

Terrible Accident-Four Person* Killed-
Several Injured.
St. Mary e Catholic Church wae l**t evening the
ereue of a meet awful calamity, four persona being
aimoet instantly kilted and several others eeriouely
injured, besides many who were crushed and
bruised. A roc' l ncf priests cf the order ot Ke
demptcrists was commenced in this cburcu on lust
Sundsy, and tue interest created amour the con
gregaT n end otters was such as to nightly crowd
the church. Lari evening acotaer immense audience j
assembled, and before 7 o'clock the church was
jammed full ci a dense and crowded mass of men
and women. The seats contained all that could
possibly get into them, whilst the middie and side
aisles and ga !ery, in fact every vacant spot within
the church, wav r owded amtest to euffocation. A
large number were also on the steps and sidewalk
outside, and it was to the curiosity of those that toe
iamentable consequences were principally due.—
Instead of giving passage to the egress of the ter
ror-stricken multitude within, they atteL pted to
get in and learn the cause of the cries and fear, of
these inside the chnch.
About a quarter after 7 o'clock that part of the
floor next to the saci tuary and about lb feet square,
gave way, caused by the breaking of the cross
beam, and precipitated ail within the space in a
confused mass together. But there was no one hurt
here.
A wild terror and unreasoning fear immediately
poescesed ah. and amid the terror and confusion a
rush was made for the door The Hev. Mr. Guerdet
here came on to the alter and cried to the people to
be calm and ait still, but ho might as well have talk
ed to the rising storm. He then rushed across the
eeats a&d over the people’s heads to the door, where
a struggling and LeaviDg mass of humanity _were
met in uppv.-ing crowo, those inside attempting to
get out and those outside aiming to get in. Here
and there were the deaths and all the ir juries receiv
ed, as may be seen by the blood that staips and sur*
roui.j the ep-.t-both Inside and outside of the door.
Had the people been still and kept their seats, had
they retained tteir self-possession, or lis.ened to the
warnings and commands of those who had, not a
life would have been lost, nor, it is believed, any
iriury received.
But a fear trickencrowd never was and never
wi:i be guided by reason, nor understand that ex
citement in such cases is alene daDgerous, and to
be dreaded. Mr. Guerdet and other gentlemen
having seen that to prevent numbers lrom being
crushed and trampled under loot, the only way was
to get the people out ol the Church, threw them
selves on to the crowd in order to make way at the door
but they themselves soon formed a part of the surg
ing unci’ seemigiy aimless crowd, and were crushed
and bruised. At last through the efforts of the
police and others, a passage was effected and the
mass inside began to move, each one seemingly
powerless yet all Lurried aloDg irresistibly.
Mr. Murray and the three women who were kill
ed. all met the'r death around the door. At one
time bodies were piled on each other to the hoight
of four or five feet, and were trampled on by those
who could keep their feet in tneir eAorta to get out.
Four persons met their death in this sad and aw
ni calamity. Their names are Lawrence Murray,
Mrs. Bridget Langdon, Mrs. Cauley and Mrs.
Gesry.
1.. this as oi ali puci s which are the result of
sudden and unlocked lor accidents, the loss of life
was occasioned by the night and confusion, atten
dant on the ru->h ot the crowd, and not from the
falling of the floor.
Mrs Matthew Lynch and Mrs. Uourigan were
taken into the house of the Kev. Mr. Guerdet,
where they yet .emained at noon to-uay. Mrs.
Lynch was badly bruised, and Mrs. Horn igan was
so badly freightened aa to have several hysteric fits
since.
Women borne on the arms of men were hurried
out every moment. The distress and anxiety of
those who had escaped themselves, but were fear
ful of friends and relatives, manifetted itself in
every manner.
it. was reported tt.is morning thattwpof the iu*
jur.dhad died late last night, making’ altogether
six deaths. After di’ligeut inquiry we think we can
say that such was not Tile case.
Fraud is Packing Cotton. —The Alsmphis
Appro; of the 1-- h inst., says . “We were yester
day shown by Mr. Baylbs, of Bayliss A Co.’s,
Front K >w, a portion of thirteen bales of cotton,
which had been sold to an eastern manufacturer,
and returned on account of false packing. The
samples of the cotton were beautiful, and the top,
bottom, sides and ends of ihe bales hr.d
ed with the samples ; but the middle Lad been
filled up with refuse cotton of the filthiest descrip
tion. Jn one bale, which was from Tipton county
Tennessee—we have the planter’s name, but with
hold ii, at least for the present--was a rat’s nest,
with the manure and dirt attending such a habita
tion—this we saw. Iu another bale were lump, of
filthy cotton, which looked much hke the refuse that
has been used to ciean machinery with. This had,
apparently been put into the bale in , a wet state,
and it ‘va.- 1 full ot sand and dirt, so that when lifted
up the tangled lumps are nearly as heavy as lumps
ofelay. Iu ail tho balea the contrast between the
white specimens in the sample, and the dirty, tan
gled, black refuse within, was astonishing.
Some of the fradulently packed cotton was from
Cardie, and other places in Mississippi, and some
from places in Tennessee; and a portion Imd
reached the city by the Ohio Railroad. A number
of gentlemen who were iu Mr. Bayliss’ office while
we were there, were discussing the propriety of
drawing up a card containing the names of the
p lanters at whose gin houses this cotton, and that
ot others, who l.ave, in a similar way, defrauded
other merchants in this city, signing it with their
names and publishing it. This exposure is richly
merited by the dishonest persons whose criminal
conduct is calculated to destroy the good name of
the city and neighborhood, and to injure commerce.
The packing could be no accidental affair, no mere
trick of negroes, for one bale weighing seven hun
dred and twenty pounds had been cleaned by the
manufacturers of the sand that Lad been put with
the cotton in the middle of the bale, ard the result
was a less of three hundred and twenty seven
pounds ! What shame must be felt by ths owners
of these tlfirteen bales when the filth they have
palmed off is returned to them. What will be their
sensations when they have to refund the money
they have obtained.’’
Burning of the U. S. Steamer l). H. Morton.
—We learn from John S Washington, commander,
that on Friday evening last the Government steam
er i). H. Morton took tire on the Arkansas River,
about sixty miles above Little Rock, and with her
cargo was entirely consumed. The Moitoa was
loaded with about 81H) bales of hay, for Little Rock,
whither she was bound when the disaster took
place. No lives were lost by the occurrence. The
boat, as above intimated, belonged to the United
States Government, and was valued at about
sfi,Uot). The fire is supposed to have had its origin
in sparks from the chimneys falling upou the hay,
and the fl air.es spend so rapidly that the officers
and craw bad barely time to save themselves and
a portion of their baggage. Capt. Washington ar
rived in the city yesterday, and telegraphed the
above facta to the proper officers at Washington

A Freak of the Wind —A few days ago, a well
known gentleman named Joeeph Locke, a contrac

purpose of paying his employees. In goirg down
the steps of the bank, with the eighteen bills iu his
hand, a sudden gust of wind blew off his ha!. In
throwing up his hand to recover his hat he lost pos
session of the bids, which were instantly taken by
the wiud in circling eddies upwards. Mr.L.’s loss
by the operation was about SBO. His feelings aa
he iiie bank’s promises to pay slowly sailing
over the house tops, are much more pleasant to

The British Navv — Slaves of the Sea. —The
European Times says ;— "Many people were under
the impression that flogging had been abolished in
the Royal Navy. A Parliamentary paper which
itesjust appeared dissipates this idae. It appears that
in 1857 there were lOS7 peracne li ogged in the Royal
Navy, and that the number of lashes iuflic.'ed on
them was 35,84 V In the five years ending in 1857,
5,823 men and boys were flogged in her M jesty's
ships, and 182,779 lashes were inflicted. Most of
tlieso pumsments were inflicted at the disci etion of
commanding cflioers, aud the most frequent offen
ces ure described as insubordination, disobedience,
neglect of duty, aud drunkeucss—insubordination
being anything which 8n officer dislikes—a blac k
look, a sharp reply, a contemptuous expression or
gesture.”
The Daily in a strong leading article on
the subject, says “When such facts fall under
o -r notice wear* surprised, not tha’ tbe “eet does not
get men, but that the men do not desert in a b.o.J”
—as they have done—and go off to the United
States, or the South Sea Islands, or any where,
‘Farastho breeze can bear the billows foam,’to
escape such a worn-out and insufferably degrading
aud disgusting tyranny. This isnow become a natio
nal question of pre-bminect importance Our neigh
bors possess all our arts ; they are intelligent, breve
and skillful. We cannot afford, therefore, to con
tinue an;, longer such a system, even for the sake
of discipline. ’

Deliberate Murder,— While at our Depots on

Homicide of the late ( 01. Joeeph Bond*
TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES AND JUDGMENT OF THE
COURT.
We give below the testimony of Messrs. Sellers
and Bell—the former being the only witness to the
transaction when it occurred; the latter being fa
miliar with circumstantial evidence connected with
this melancholy affair. There was other corrobora
ting circumstantial testimony, which we deem un
neeeusary to publish. The examination occupied
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The parties on
both sides were supported by able Counsel, and the
investigation, which was thorough and searching in
the extreme, wise conduct ad with that courtesy and
fairness which is seldom witnessed in a Court of
Justice. Here is the testimony :
First witness, Wm. J. Sellers.
Witness was iu Walker’s field and Brown was in
Bell’s field; saw a man coming, who Brown said
was Col. Bond. Bond rode near and prisoner said,
“good morning Colonel.” Bond said ‘‘good morn
ing ; you are the rascal that whipped my negro’’—
striking Brown with a stick; Bond struck prisoner
the second time wi'h a stick, when prisoner either
jumped or fell from his horse ou the opposite side.
Bond jumped from his horse and ran to prisoner,
caught Brown by the shoulder, j irked him down
and struck Brown with his stick—Brown endeavor
ing to rise. Whilst on one knee aud one foot, shot
Bond. Brown, when Bond struck him the third
time, called to witness “to come over there;” Bond
oaid~ ix Stay where you are, this is our own difficul
ty ; we will settle it.”
Bond, after being shot, again struck Brown with
his stick; Brown j irked loose and ran off; Brown
ran some ten steps down the fence, jumped the
fence, ran Borne fifteen steps into Walker’s field.
Bond followed to where Brown crossed the fence
and shot at Brown. Bond then turned aud walked
nearly to witness and said, ‘‘l am a dead man,”
and fell—rose and fell again. By that time Bell’s
negroes (ploughing near) came to him; witness
then left Bond in care of Bell’s negroes. Witness
had never heard of any previous ditiioulty between
the parties; witness has lived with Walker siuce
the begining of last year; witness and prisoner had
been togother some five minutes. Bond was some
two hundred yards distant when seen by witness ;
witness aud Brown were conversing about Walk
er’s new ground, when prisoner said “it is CoL
Bond.” Witness said, “he is a man that I know
when I see, but have no acquaintance with, and I
auppoes he has been your master,” —(alluding to
Brown having overeeed for Bond and speaking
jocularly.) Prisoner did not Bay anything to in
duce w itness to think that a difficulty was expec
ted, Bond rode within a few yards—three or four
cotton rows of Btown, on Brown's right; Brown
turned his horse lacing Bond ; Bond got off’ be
tween the horses; Bond and Brown both fell when
Bond jirked Brown down; Brown fall upon his
knees and Bond upon his knees, head to head ;
Bood rather over Brown, Bond recovered first.—
Prisoner drew his pistol from behind him with Lis
left hand. Bond’s stick was a stnt.ll hickory stick,
some two feet long, not such a stick, as was likely
to produce death. If a man had been killed with
such a stick, witness would have regarded it as an
accident.
When Bond said, “ you arc the rascal that whip
ped my negro,” Brown did not deny it—he made
no reply ; they were some two or three cotton rows
apart when salutations were passed. Bond did not
stop; and as he rode up by the side of Brown,
Bond said, “ you are the rascal that whipped my
negro,” and then struck him. The difficulty oc
curred in Dougherty county in Mr. Bell's field, on
the 12th inst.., about 8 o’clock in the morning
Witness thinks the stick exhjbtpd is the stick
which Bond had; is not certain. When Bond
struck the third blow he had hold of Brown with his
left hand; thinks that in that position, a very hard
blow could not ho struck. As Brown jumped or
fell from his horse, his hat was about half oil’.
Cross Examination.— Bond made no enquiry of
Brown, why he had whipped hie negro; did not wait
for Brown to reply, Brown had no time to reply ,
Brown was very near where Ire fell or jumped off,
when he shot Bond. He had not had time to get
up when Bond got to him, Brown had no stick in
his hand, they were riiiug when Brown shot, Brown
made no attempt to draw his pistol until he had
been struck the third time. Witness was in full
view when the first and second blows were struck
and could have seen it had Brown attempted to
draw a pistol; Brown was in Bell’s field superin
tending Bell’s negroes. The difficulty occurred
across a lot ot land distant from any public road ; it
was some three miles distant from Bond’s “White
Hill place.” The stick produced is a stick very ohori
for a walking stick, the witness thinks that the stick
in a close contest could be used better than a long
one, and thinks that It would require a very heavy
bioy- to produce death
Wifete3s states, “fbßt the reason that bp did not
state c.i ills examination at the imiuest that Brown
asked him to come there, was that he was pot asked
the question, and that he did not think it necessary,
as h * supposed he was only to state how Bond came
to his death.”
Jesse S. Bell’s Testimony.—Witness and Brown
were speaking of Mr. Cheek. Brown said that
| Cheek had told Bond lies upon him, and if ever
he co'oid get too iav unon his side, he would make
a migffty flutter. ‘Witness thought Brown then re
ferred to Cheek. ‘ ‘ ‘ -
( ,n the- night previous to tue difficulty, witness
and Brown werd tojefber—a neg.o belonging to
Bell wonted to purchase some tobacco itcm Brown-
Brown acknowledged owing the negro a dollar and
a half and said, you had better come here on Sun
day and get it, as I may run away.
In a conversation with Brown a few days previous
to the homicide, Brown asked witness If he bad
hca.d Lo„d say eavthing about his hai iag whipped
Bond’s cegio - vritnoss aai-i iha- ho hod R r own
in another conversation sa;d th&i he was oemtain
that Bond was mad with him tor having whipped
his negro.
A,ter Brown had whipped the negro—witness
thinks it Wee tie night before the homicide—Brown
said that he had taken more fete Col. Bond than
he ever would from any other man 1 thinks that the
negro was whipped on Tuesday previous.
Brown said that some of Bond's negroes niisrht
come to Beil's plantation, that Others should not.—
Bell permitted Bond's negroes to come to his plan
t taiioc. The u3groes which Brown said should not
come were father ana hi other to s negro at Fell’s
plantation. They were favorites With Bond. “
Witness has said to Eirown that those negroes
ought to come to the plantation hire. Bell told
Brown that they must come. Brown said to wit
ness, that if they come he would leave. The negro
whipped was not one that he had forbid to come ;
ce was a negro that stayed at the Fowltown planta
tion. The negro was whipped in a blacksmith
shop immediately on the road-side.
Witness met Brown in a different field from the
i difficulty. Brown's back was to witness when he
j approached within twenty steps ; witness said to
Brown, “deliver yourself up,” and coked Lis gun.
| Brown said “I thought you were my friend, Jesse,
witness said, “I have been your friend ; how cau
you expect me to be your friend now Brown
said, “do you suppose that you could keep me
here .” witness said, “I do not know, but one of us
will have to die before you can get away.” Brown
asked several timee for hie horse -, had sent for his
dorse ; told witness to go to BoDd. Witness told
dim it was useless to attempt to get away, that
even if he got away from bim he could not escape ;
Brown sa.a, you do cot know, (or words equiva
lent.) We went to the house Brown went into
the house , washed his head and laid down. Wit
ness loaded the other barrel of hie gun in presence
of Brown. Brown went to hie trunk and got his
money Cheek was the first man who came
Brown enquired who it was—and on being iniorm
ed said, tell him not to eay anything. Mr. Wa.k
er’Dr Jefteye and Dr. Nelson, then arrived, to
whom witness debverid Brown. W itness was at
the house eome three-quarters of a mile rrom where
Bond was, when the negro brought Bond s home to
him.
By the Court —A good and worthy citizen has
deprived of an existence in this life—Joseph
Bond. He who was with us bnt a few days since,
is now. we trust, in a better and happier sphere.
‘Tis a melancholy redaction to be thus suddenly
deDrived of a iriecd whose node soul and
generous spirit won for him the admiration of
ail pleaßact and refined society. Beloved by thoee
who knew him—respected and esteemed even by
him at wboee hands it is charged he was slain,
brings with the occurrence feelings of profound
sympathy and melancholy sadness.
Toe accused feeling a c nsciousness of innocence,
cornea forward and bows in humble sumiseion to
the recorded dignity of the law—and while be pleads
but tor simple justice, tee friends of the deceased
ask nothing but what i* right at the haods oi the
! law. Such examples are worthy of consideratioa.

NEW YORK, March 16.— Stocks— Government sticks
were active and firm. Largo sales of the new loan were
made at 10Ri(, ‘ advance. Fives of 1365 brought 101
and sixes of 1852 1034. lA. iargo business was done in
Missouri sixes at 85), yesterday morning's prices, and £
below that of the evening. Tennessee sixes declined J,
90S; Virginia sixes 98. A small lot of North Carolina
brought 99.
In Rail Road bonds the largest business was in La
Crosse Land Grant at 17, yesterday’s price. Illinois
Centra! closed at 90) for construction and 91 for free
laud, the latter a decline of !. New York Central sevens
closed at 102).
NEW YORK, March 16.—Extracts from a Cotton
Circular for the Europa :
We have to record another week of activity. The de
mand was first stimulated by telegrams from the
South announcing light receipts ; subsequently, by the
Europa s advices, telegraphed from Halifax, which were
of a more favorable tenor than the letters to Laud i2tli
inst. The advance established since our last is {cent,
but at the close it is difficult to obtain extreme quota
tions.
The future course of prices on this Bide will turn on
the character of t he political advices to be received from
abroad. The crop, whether 3,600,000 or 3,700,000, will
uot prove to bo in excess of the demand, if peace is pre
served aud confidence unimpaired. At the moment,
t ending the result of the negotiations between the great
European powers, a cautious feeling restricts speculative
action. Sevenponce for middling would prove to be a
high price, if the commercial prosperity of the world was
disturbed by war, but a safe one, if nothing should occur
to check consumption.
Cotton in Transitu—There has been an active specu
lative demand for parcels afloat, which has been freely
met by holders at {c advance. Wo estimate the sales
at 17,000 bales, and quote: New Orleans—with 7-160
15-32d freight—good ordinary 101; strictly do 10) ; low
middling 118; middling ll)c. Mobile —with 133207
ibd freight—low ordinary 9) ; ordinary 10; good ordiua
ry 10-v; lew middling 11011) ; middling IIS ; strict do.
11) ; good do. 11 ic.
Crop—The decrease in receipts at the ports, as shown
by the annexed table of comparative figures, is rapid.
The excess, which last week was 948,000 bales, is this
week reduced to 915,000 bales, and next week there will
be a further reduction cf about 50,000 bales. If this
rapid decrease is the result solely of exhausted supplies,
our estimate of 3,600,000 bales may not be realized. We
are inclined, however, to believe that in the Atlantic
Mates, the bad condition of the roads has prevented the
forwarding of supplies, and thal speculators control ant
hold largely at interior towns. Our correspondent at
New Orleans writes on the 2d inst. as follows : —‘‘The
recent rains Lave probably raised all the rivers, and will
et out the Cotton detained by low water, in which event
the crop will be very nearly, if not quite, 3,700,000 ba’es.'’
And again on the sth, ‘T n w raise my estimate to 3,-
700,000 bales.’ la a few weeks we shall have more de
finite and reliable information in regard to interior sup
plies - until received, we rest on the figures we have ad
vised, namely, 3,600,000 bales

MEMPHIS, March 17. — Colton— The market opened
with an ordinary inquiry yesterday morning, but about
11 o'clock private dispatches came to band, announcing
the arrival of the three-day steamer City of Washington,
with news of an advance of ) 03-lCd on all grades in the
Liverpool market, whi* h had a tendency to quicken the
movements of our buyers to some extent. As to prices,
the effect was not sufficient to produce an actual ad
vaoce. althougn the feeling wai a shade better, and
several parties were able to obtain prices asked on
Tuesday, but not then obtainable. The day’s business
amounted to 1,911 bales. Lew Middling $0010) . Mid

NASHVILLE, March 19.— Provisions— The receipts
of Bacon have beep light during the week, but ample to
meet the demand, which has oeen very limited. Buyers
have taken the. small amount offered at onr quotations,
but they have manifested no desire to deal to ary con
siderable extent, ana heavy receipts would undoubtedly
cause a decline in the market. We quote hog round at
8) ; Shoulders 7 ; Hams 808) ; ami Clear Sides 100
10)c, from wagons. From store 1 04c advance is de
manded on our quotation?.
Lard has been in moderate request at 10)c for prime,
in good shipping packings
We notice a better teeliog iu the Provision markets of
the West during the past week, and prices have slightly
appreciated.
The Cincinnati Price Current of the 16th says :
The decline in Bulk Meats and Bacon noticed in our last
brought several orders here from the East, chiefly from
Baltimore and Philadelphia, but as soon as buyers made
their appearance, holders put up prices, and an advance
of fuhy )c Las been established during the week and at
the advance there Were no sellers at the close, but buy
ersdid not seem willing to accede further to the demands
of holders, and the market yesterday was rather dull,
though firm. Mess pork is he:d firmly at $lB, and is re
tailing at this rate, but cannotbe sold to any extent over
$l"50 About 2000 obis. Lard wefe taken in tfie early
part of the week, chiefly by manufacturers, a. H,
mostly at the latter rate, but si ice then the market haj
been quiet, but holders firm, ask ng 11)0.
Tbe Cincinnati Gazette of the 15th estimates that there
are 345,000 barrels of Pork in the leading markets of the
country about this date, and adds : “We Lave not the
data for a comparison witu the stock at inis date last
season, but the excess this year is not less than 200,000
bbls. This proves one thing: The impression during
the packing season that owing to the fallingoffin the
I weight of hog? there would a scarcity of mt.s pork,
eauced packer:, genorally to put more than the usual
proportion cf meat into ba.reis Qpcratjrc see.ned
anxious to provide against the threatened scarcity and
they succeeded admir&biy.
The Cincinnati Commercial says of this estimate :
‘ From a statement made by a morning cotemporary,
as to the estimated stocks of barrel pork at the principal
bus points, we cannot resist a conclusion which he
seems to have entirely overlooked or ignored, v?z : that
if the excess of barrel meat equal* 200,000 bbls., there
rv'st be a deerf ose iu th p amojmtof bu’k
meat ana b*coucmd, *nd imu me ma:ketf. ; r tfiosa ur
tides must rule very active and high.
In speculating upon the probable amount of Provl
sions that will be req-dred for Lome consumption, it
should be remembered that there has been a heavy fall
ing off in the foreign demand. The falling off in the ex
por* ol Pr*rk alone New York amounted to over
sloo.uoo. *t is very -enain ,hai vhe.e is , heavy stock
of the products of tbe hog yet held by opecalatot-s and
dealers, bui wfcUfi pr?b*bl/ )?$ B 9 WMtfity tbfl
present season, it is not likely that prices will rule low
er than at present if indeed they do not advance slightly
before the close of the season.
Breadstufs— The Flour market has been inactive
throughout the .veek, the demand being confined almost
exclusively ro home consumption. Prices of Flour here
continue too high to afford a shipping margin, and hence
the continued indisposition of speculators to take ho and.
Holders, however, manifest considerable firmness under
the impression that the demand will exceed the supply,
and that prices must advance instead of recede We
quote Extra and Family at $6 5007, and Superfine at
$5.5006 per bbL
The demand for Wheat exceeds the supply, and prices
are 5c better than iast week. We quote prime Red and
White at $1.1001.20, and inferior andfairat 73cto$l
per bushel.
Ther Las been considerable inquiry for Corn during
the past two or three days for shipment, >t 70c ,sacked,
from store. Dealers are payitg 60c from wagons, and
famish sack:.
The market for Oats is dull at 60®65c sacked.
The speculative feeling in preadstuffs has somewhat
subsided in the West. The growing Wheat crop has
assumed a very encouraging appearance within a week
or ten -lays, which has sensibly affected the markets. A
large proportion of the Flour and Grain in the west is in
the hands of speculators, and they seize upon every
thing of an unfavorable character in regard to the grow
ing crop to influence prices, and hence the fluctuations
tea: occur so often in that quarter.
Fruits— Dried Fruits are in request at SiSOaz per

Lave made their appearance to-day than we have noticed
for some tune, and the transactions were restricted to
117 bales. The sales are too limited to form a basis for
any quotations, though holders are firm and asking full
prices. The market closes very dull.
Freights—To Liverpool are easy. We quote Cotton

MOTOOMERY, Msrcb 17.— Colton— Cur market has

which readily brings outside figures. We quote Mid

NEW ORLEANS, March 16.— Cotton— Our last re
port closed upon a firm market, with an advancing ten
dency in prices and the more full rates claimed on
Saturday, together with the unfavorable character of
the weather, cofined transactions oo that day to some
35C9 ba'es. OnMcud&y the weather was more favora
ble for bneiaesobut bvyers did not seem to come for
ward very freely, though the sales reaceed about 6000
bales, generally at full pricer. Yesterday there was
still less activitv and the sales were confined to about
4500 ba’es ; making a total for the three days of 14,000
bales With respect to prices, we have already stated
tha: factors generally have been holding at morefuU
rates, and in many instances a marked advance has
been claimed, tending, as we have intimated, to check
operations, as buyers resist the advanced claims, and
those who have effected sales have only been enabled
to do so by accepting offers about corresponding to our
previous quotations which are continued.
The receipts at this port since Ist September, (exclu
sive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida and Texas) are
1,479,960 bales, against 1,£21,900 oales to same date last
year ; and the increase in the receipts at all the ports,
up to the latest dates as compared with last year is 870,-
651 bales.

NOVATOR, the greatest chemical discovery of the
age. is an infallible restorer and preserver of the hair
and sigbt-
Differing entirely from the deleterious and worthless
compounds with which the public have so long been
deceived, it possesses wonderful properties peculiar to
itself.
In cases of baldness, or gray locks, it will strengthen
the cuticle, disengage the capillary tubes, and give
them such vigor that gray hairs will disappear, and
gradually, but certainly, anew growth of handsome
hair, in its original life-color, will spring up in their
place, even when deprived of it for years by age or
sickness.
It is not a dye, bat will change the color of the hair to
a beautiful brown or black, rendering it soft and glossy,
and inclining to curl. It will not stain the finest linen
or the skin.
This invaluable preparation also preserves the sight
and prevents headache, dandruff, Ac., Ac.
