This sum in gold dollars, offered at
anything below one hundred cents on the
dollar, would find many ready takers;
| everybody would naturally invest all
available means, and the offerer consid-
i ered a benefactor to the people at large.
Messrs. Davidson Bros. & Mitchell have
no gold dollars to offer, but they have a
stock of first-class boots and shoes,
amounting in value to twenty-five thou
sand dollars, which they propose selling,
during the holidays, at‘lower prices than
; ever before offered in this city. They
deserve to he classed among the benefac

The schooner Anna W. Collins, Capt.
Hardcastle, *Vas cleared yesterday by
Messrs. Jos. A. Roberts *fc Co. for New
York, with a cargo of 51,8(52 feet of lum
ber, by Sloat, Bussel & Co.. and 250 bales
upland cotton, weighing 118,407 pounds,
by S. Fat man, Esq. This is the first
cargo of cotton this season shipped coast
wise in a sailing vessel.
Savannah and Norfolk.
In one of our Norfolk exchanges we
find the following paragraph:
“Four vessels sailed from Norfolk
Saturday for Liverpool, loaded with
25,000 bales of cotton, valued at $1,500,
000. This is the largest shipment ever
made in one day from any Southern
port. One ship took out 1,860 bales,
which is believed to be the largest cargo
ever shipped from any American port.”
Now, whilst we heartily rejoice in any
evidence of the prosperity and growth of
our Virginia sister city, yet we can but
think that there is some unintentional ex
aggeration in the above paragraph. It i»
stated that one of the four ships carried
1,800 hales, “which is believed to be the
largest cargo ever shipped from any
American port.” If the four ships
carried 25,000 hales and one carried only
1,800, “which is believed to lie the
largest cargo,” etc., there would remain
for the other three vessels to carry 23,140.
or an average of 7,713 bales each. It
is therefore apparent there is a
mistake somewhere. If each of the four
vessels carried 1,880 bales their entire
cargoes would amount to only 7.440
bales, leaving of the 25,000 17,500 bales
to be accounted for. How can our Nor
folk contemporary explain this?
Again we can assert most emphatically
that 1.800 bates is not “the largest cargo
shipped fronfan American port.” On the
10th of November last, the American
ship John T. Berry, (’apt. Emery, was
cleared from the port of Savannah by
Messrs. Octavus Cohen *fc Co, for Liver
pool, with the largest cargo of the sea
son, consisting of 4,923 hales of upland
cotton, weighing 2,349,072 pounds, and
valued at $261,720 28. This beats the
supposed “largest shipment from any
American port” just 3,083 bales. The
largest day’s shipment from Savannah
this season was ou the 24tli of Novem
ber, when the exports amounted to 15,-
498 bales, valued at $1,030,881 10.
In this connection we may notice that
the new channel made iu the river offers
increased facilities to shipping visiting
our port, lessening the distance from the
bar to the wharves and affording plenty
of water to large vessels. During the
past week several ships drawing eighteen
and a half feet and carrying from 2,500
to 3,000 bales of cotton have been piloted
through the new channel to Venus Point,
where they have completed loading, and
left for foreign ports.

Tlie Fire in Robertsville.
The following are the particulars of
the fire which occurred shortly after two
o’clock yesterday morning, and which
was briefly noted iu the News. About
two o’clock the policeman on duty in
that vicinity discovered fire issuing from
the small frame building at the corner of
West Boundary and Little Jones streets,
occupied by Mrs. John Schroeder as a
grocery and" dwelling. He at once has
tened to station No. 32, corner of West
Broad and Wayne streets, and endeav
ored to turn in an alarm, but the box
failed to work, and he then had to run
to station No. 23, at the Central Rail
road depot, The alarm was . struck
from this box. but from some unexplain
able cause, neither the gong at the Ex
change or police barracks or any of the
engine houses but the Wavers responded,
showing conclusively that the circuit was
out of order. The flames had meanwhile
spread rapidly, and a general alarm was
sounded from the Waver engine house.
The department were out promptly, be
ing guided by the light to the scene of
conflagration, and by efficient efforts suc
ceeded in saving two small houses ad
joining the tenement in which the fire
originated. The grocery and dwelling
which were destroyed were owned by
Mrs. Schroeder, who saved a portion of
her household goods. The property and
stock were insured in one of the com
panies represented by Messrs. R. II. Foot
man & Co. The origin of the fire is not
known.
Direct Trade With Cuba.
Mention has already been made of a
proposed excursion to Cuba in the inter
est of a direct trade with the West In
dies, thrQugh the port of Savannah.
The party will leave here on Tuesday,
the 15tli, at 9 a. m., by the steamship
San Jacinto, and will comprise delegates
from the Merchant Exchanges of St.
Louis, Cairo, Illinois; Henderson, Ken
tucky: Knoxville and Memphis, Tennes
see; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Macon, Au
gusta and Savannah, numbering in all
about one hundred. The cities named
have all evinced a most lively interest in
the movement, with the exception of Sa
vannah. It is slrahgi* that, con
sidering the importance of the
subject, our merchants have not
taken a more active part, and the city
will only be represented by a small
delegation. The steamer will stop at St.
Augustine and Nassau, and the round
trip, including two or three days at
Havana, will occupy about two weeks.

When the telegraph announced the

what think you was the effect upon the

following was sure to Occur: “Mars has
two moons, hey ’? Pass me the milk
Kitty. Strange, isn’t it. that astrono
mers never saw them before. Another

at Alien a corner of
istry liberal and pious, her reputation
abroad cannot lie otherwise than envi
able. These three separate organizations
indicate the leading characteristics of a
communitv. and give tone to the body
politic. While we are willing to admit
the salutary influences which commerce
and arts exert whenever they are prop
erly encouraged and wherever they
flourish, we claim that the standing of
the three professions enumerated above
affords an unerring index to the pros
perity of a great city: for, without the
pecuniary returns \vhich wait upon a
flourishing commerce, the learned pro
fessions need that material encourage
ment so necessary to their successful
pursuit and even to their very existence.
The growing ability and remarkable
piety and learning of the Memphis
pulpit, without distinctioa of sect,
is becoming proverbial throughout the
country. There are cities in this
Union doubtless of equal importance
in reference to population, which
exceed our own as to the number of their
ministers, but the most highly favored
locality cannot boast an abler * or purer
clergy. And the Memphis pulpit has re
cently received important and permanent
accessions, to one of which it may not be
deemed improper for us to make a brief
allusion. The rectorship of St. Mary’s
(Episcopal) Church has recently passed
into the hands of Rev. Mr. White, late
of Florence, Ala. It has l>een our for
tune to enjoy a limited association with
the distinguished divine, who bears a
high reputation for learning and useful
ness in the church, and a character for
remarkable amiability and piety through
out his w'ide personal acquaintance.
When he felt called upon to accept the
invitation to labor for the church in
Memphis, the circumstances attending
his separation from his old charge in
Florence were doubtless more painfully
touching than any scene in his former
eventful career. * His uniform piety
and admirable simplicity of Chris
tian character, and his great use
fulness as a laborer in the vineyard of
the Lord, had endeared him so closely to
the hearts of those with whom his lot
had been cast, that his departure from
Florence was regarded as a local calamity,
w'liich cast a deep shade of gloom over
the entire community. We hail this last
accession to the ranks of our city minis
try with feelings of peculiar pleasure.
Our admiration for the man is only
equaled, perhaps, by our confidence in
his ability and piety. Endow'cd by nature
with an impressive and touching elo
quence which fascinates the listener, liis
powi'rful and logical reasoning convinces
the mind, while liis combined nobility
and simplicity of character win the
heart. We trust that his career in
Memphis will be pleasant and extended,
as we feel convinced it will be eminently
salutary and useful.”
After twenty years of faithful service
as rector of Calvary Episcopal Church,
we are gratified to know that Dr. White
has fully sustained his reputation for
ability, and piety, and the cordiality
with which we commended him to the
community in which he had cast his lot.
The friends that welcomed him to Mem
phis have watched with inierest hi- ar
dent struggles for the church of which
he is rector, and have rejoiced at his
triumph. He is now a very old man,
afflicted with the infirmities of age,
sorrow' and toil; hut in his sermons his
soul seems to triumph over the frailty of
the body, and pours forth its rich and
glowing conceptions with all the fire
and energy of youth. There is nothing
senile about Dr. White. He is one of
that class of men whose intellect will
never he impaired by age, for his sub
jects are thoroughly analyzed; his logic
is cogent and conclusive. "His sentences
are compact; his enunciation slow and
distinct; his elocution graceful and em
phatic, while he is evidently a man of
deep evangelical piety, whose heart is
devoted in his Master's work, and the
fruits of whose labors for forty years
will no doubt lie realized in
eternity. The prosperity of Calvary
Church and its large congregation in
regular attendance, show's that Dr. White
L not wanting iu pulpit popularity. He
is certainly a faithful and most indefati
gable pastor, who seems to be impelled
less by ambition than by love; and such
the sweetness and tlie courtesy of hi>
manner as to endear himself to his people
and render him useful in their families.
We understand that Dr. White will preach
a sermon this morning retrospecting the
events that have transpired (luring the
twenty years he has served as rector of
Calvary Church. Such a sermon will
revive many sad reminiscences, but will
nevertheless be interesting. It will show
that death, the dread destroyer of our
race, has been busy, and that many have
fallen by the wayside. Of the congrega
tion who heard I)r. White’s first sermon,
just twenty years ago, there are not mere
than a dozen left to hear him this morn
ing. We hope the venerable rector of
Calvary* Church may be long spared to
continue his usefulness to the church he
adorns, and to enjoy the love and ad
miration of a community wbicli unites in
recognizing his piety and great abilities.
