DISSBACEFl^, CONDUCT OF THE LOUISIANA METROPOLITAN POLICE. New Orleans, November 1.—A letter from ex-Judge Merrill, dated Col ax. Grant Pariah, the 23th. Baja: In haste and with feelings of horror, I write to Inform the public of the actioD of the Metropolitan police. Bent here by Lieutenant Governor AllUon, dur ing the abseu oo of Governor Kellogg. On Saturday night laet the house of a moat rcapeo able widow lady on Bed Elver waa fired into near this place. The doora were broken open and the unfortunate lady and her daughter of seventeen rummers ware taken out, and. horrible to relat c,wcro violated. Neither of the ladies could be found nntil late Sunday evening. An Infant, eighteen months uld, and grand child of ex-Qovtrnor Wells, was found ont In the woods seme half mile from the bona., near the spot where the deed waa perpetrated. The Infant was a sleoeof the lady and child of Hanford Wells, eldest aon of ex-Governor Wells. The ne groes np hare all aay that it was the soldiers, and wo aU believe If thty were not the perpetrator, they in stigated the negroes to this horrid deed of Infamy. It is a^i£ here that when Col. r eklcgre waa informed of the outrage, he imlled and said bis troops were np there for higher pnrpoaes than arresting men for sach petty offenses. Alll.dn la believed to have aent these creatures up here for the purpose of giving the negroes a chance for revenge, and cne of them told the writer that be had a right now, under the protection of the United Static, to shoot any white man he wanted to shoot, and violate any woman be met. He said to him that these wire State troops and not United States troops, and be replied 'hat the Colonel had said that at a negro ball; that before he wanted all colored people to come and see him; that now they coold do as they pleased, as they were under protection of bis soldiers. THE SPRAGUES. REPOBT OF A C'MHITTEB IN REGARD TO THBIR CONDITION. Providence; November 1 —An adjourned meeting of the representatives held at neon to-day, when i. report of the vomraittee appointed to examamine into the afifirs iff A. & W. Sprague was presented. The committee aay tboy consider the assets of A. A W. Sprague's Manufacturing Company to be 19,195,427, and liabilities 11.475 413; surplus 8,081 081. A de layed statement of property which accompanies ths report cf the committee further s>ys: To determine whether the mortgage proposed would be solid and free from objections, under the provisions of the bankrupt act, thiy were compelled to ascertain whether the amonnt of aid asked would in all reasonable possibility bo sufficient to enable the Company to meet its maturing obligations in the tegular coursj of busi ness. The unsettled condition of financial affairs and of bnslncea at the present time and tl e large amonnt of obligations of the company maturing dur ing the next ninety days preclude the possibility of your committee reporting that- the mm of one mil lion dollars would enable the company to meet their ergagements regularly in the future, and as an event of :ailuic to do so. tho to’.idlty of the secuity might be questioned. Your committee, under ad- viee of council, are ot opinion that the snm asked for cannot safely be fnrnlehed. Upon coming to this conclusion your committee were requested by tho company to express their recommendation or tho conreo to bo taken nndcr the cir cumstances to enable the company to secure to its creditors the payment of tneir claims and to preserve, as tar as possible from shrlnksge,tbc vast available property in the hand* of tho company. They therefore recommended that the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Company, and individuals comprising that corporation, mortgage all their prop erty to three trustees who shall practically have all control and management of the entire property; these trustees to lesuc notes to the amonnt which .n.n fnliy cover the amonnt of their present indebtedness, these obligations having three years to run and drawing semi-annual interest at the raw or seven tbreo-tenths per cent, per annum, with the right reserved to pay five per cent of tie debt as often as in their judgment shall be practicable. It is believed that a'l customers will accept these evi dences of indebtedness, and if the Trus tees have the full authority osket for tte»n. they will bo able to avoid the great calamity t) thonsaands of operators and make a ill property value to prevent the immeme farther shrink-ge o values and pay In the full indebtedness of ths A. St W. Sprague manufacturing company, together with that of all its dependent establishments. It bring the daty of tho trustees to convert the prop, tsty ana pay the debits at as etrly a day as possible. It Is not unlikely that the indebtedness maybe can- celled In much less time than three years. Respectfully suomitted. (Signed) JiMts T. Smith, Gcobge F. Wilson, Seth Padeiford, Bures WaTEBMAN, Committee. Tte meeting Is cow in session, and will probably adopt the suggestion of the committee In eome form The report was received. The counsel of epra?ue’s corporation Glanced that trust deeds were aeing msdo to Governor Henry Howard, Rafas Watcimin and Ex-Governor James Y. Smith. These deeds wculd be submitted to the meeting of creditors, end if not accepted, the alternative would be to to into bankruptcy. The feeling generally prevails that the deed of trust will be accep'ed. FURTHER IN REGARD TO THE DELIBERA TIONS OF THEIR CREDITORS. Fnovujrscx, November 1.—At tte meeting of the bank representatives to day, after the report of the committee waa presented, B. F. Johnston, counsel for A. and W. Sprague St Co., slated in behalf of the members o' that firm that they were a’l In full accord with the committee, who hare made this recommen dation, and p-opoea to adopt in fall and have adopted in fall the recommendation of the committee. Senator Sprsgue has retired by voluntary consent ;rom the Presidency of the Company, and A Sprague tas been designated to HU the place. A mortgage deed his been prepared for the purpose of securing all property and suets, private and cor porate, (or the benefit of the creditors of the company, a rciab e to the prim iple suggested in the report. A meeting o* th; creditors wilt be called at an early day, wh-n it U hoped thty will see that the plan which has teen propoa d and the execution of it is tho best postlble thing that, under the dreams tan see, can be done for their interests. It is in their power to accept or rejec*. but ihe alternative of a rejection will be the throwing of the property into bat krnptcy and iusicrif.ce as a necessary conse quence, or at least the imperilling of the value of the obhgations of the company which are held by their « creditors. Ex-Governor Smith, ot the committee, stated that every facility was proffered, the banks were opened and everything done that could be done to facilitate their labors. Mr. Thurston then remarked, concerning the trust deed, that at present It was not ready fer the inspection The creditors, of the company will s-’e for themselves when they come to Inspect that instrument. He said that thero la a perfect and complete contract on the part of their tins tie* acting in the Interest of the creditors of this vast proper y, so that while on one b ind the company, which has met with an immense disaster, is overwhelmed in this hour of adversity with un merited insnlt; at the tame time the property of this company Is to be preseivcd in such a way that the creditors shall see that by no bad management by no possibility of course), except, such as may come from the creditor* them selves can this proper y be subjected to sacrifice, t can suite, on bebal! of the company, that there will be the fullest and most beany co-operation on the part of the corporation with the cr-dltor*, altnongb their trustees, in the man gementof this property, shall see to it that the dependencies, cr rather those parasites which have fed upon the parent tree shall be cut off and leave Intact that manufacturing property which for so many years has been the glory and pride of the 8tate The meeting pa sed a vote of thanks to the committee, bnt of conns took no action concerning recommendations that are devolving upon creditors. This phase of the matter is canvassed with interest, bnt as copies of the trnat deed are not yet ready, no cine as to the proba ble action of the creditors can be given. The credit n are very numerous, and represent every pos sible interest and feeling Jt should rot, tnereiore, be strange If serious and, perhaps, ln-urmoantaote objections ahonld be raised to individnsi trustees as to t rms of the trust mortgage under which they are expected to act. The general (natures of the plan, however, seems to meet with popular approval. 5-20 BONOS. A CALL FOB THEIR REDEMPTION.

THE DEPRESSION OF TRADE AND COMMERCE IN NEW YORK-EXPORTS AND IMPoRTS. New Yobk, November L—An inquiry among dry goods dealer* showed that their transactions are very light Dealers are not encouraged to press business, and sales are confined to the s’lght wants of current trace. The failure of Hoyt. Sprague St Co. has had a depressing effect, and rumors have been set afloat Clafliu St Co. which have sufficed to bring the dry goods trade almost to a stand still. One of thedea'ers said to day that slaughtering was about the only thing new taking place. This dearth of trade s thought will continue until it can be definitely as certained that the difficulties will bo overcome. In this event business will take a fresh start immediate ly. On inquiry at the freight offices of leading rail roads it was ascertained that their freight bu-iness woe suffering severely from the flnsnrirj disturbance, and that in many eases railroad companies were la Ho ly catling down expenses by ledaction.of wages and discharging workmen. a visit to tbe offices of the different ocean steamers lines this morning, proved that export trade waa never in a better condition than it is at present. Almost all the steamer* leaving port to-d»y sre laden to their utmost capacity, tnd rate* were never, as a general rule, higher than now. Import trade has fallen away to a’most nothing, and stonier* arriving here arc often bnt half rail. This falling off is espe cially noticeable in the amonnt of dry goods imported YELLOW FEVER. Montgomery, November 1.—The Board of Health announces that it is safe for refugees to retnm, and those who have business can v’sit the city with im- pnnity. Memphis, November 1.—Five yellow fever deatbs and cne from other causes. OUR GREAT WEST-END GARDENS. A BIG PLANTATION COVERED WITH THE FAIREST PRODUCTIONS OF NAI CRB. TREES AND PLANTS FOR ALU THE SOUTH. If any one doubts tbe statement that Atlanta's dee tined to become the Garden Ciiy of the South, let- him go with ns to the great Gardens, koown as “THE SOUTHERN NURSERIES,” of which Messrs. It win & Thurm ond are tbe proprie tors. In them he will see preparations for aftr- rcaching, rapidly extend ing trade,—see fruit and or namental trees by the acre, by the tens ol thousands —see enough io astonish him at the enddea rise f oar new Industry And why shonld not the South grow her own trees ? If we will grew them our people will buy, for they have too much sense to iscnr the risks connected with Northern-grown trees If they can get what they want at home. Experience proves that twenty-five per cent, of Northern trees and plants die in the carriage and change of soil end climate. The freight bills alone, and the uncertainty of getting the va ieties bargained for when dealing with distant and generally unknown parties, consrrtr* to keep this trsdtfwhtre it belongs—£s our own el|U No reason longer exlstrfor the purchase of trees, shrubs or plants in the North. The nurseries of ’At lanta are now prepared to furnish in quantities huge or small, everything that can be found in any city ol the land. To substantiate this statement we invite you to go with us tnrengh the extensive grounds of the “Southern Nurseries.” Let ns get into a West End ear, that will quickly set us down at THE OFFICE, which is cenveniently located at the juncture of Whl'chall and Peters streets, abont a mile from th; car-shed, booting both the West End horse railway and ihe Macon road. Thither come orders bom every State in the Sontb, and here every twig, shrnb and plant becomes a matter of record, for the business ir perfectly systematized. We pass from the piles of orders and all tho para phernalia of a business office directly into . THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT, wa ich is in charge of onr good German friend, Mr. C. F. Eblin, who brings to Us care an ample oxpe. rience gathered in one of the largest gardens of Phil adelphia. Tbe green honses will attract onr atten tion first, for they contain great backB and pyramids of the most beantifol roses and verbenas and fas- chlas. and—oh, well, we cannot tell all they do con tain. I wool i be easier to name the flowers they do not contain. Besides, we wantevt r lover of tbe beau tiful and symbolio creations—and who does not?—to ride np there on .the convenient horse-car on some pleasant afternoon, and see with his own eyes Hr. Eblin’s pets. He hss seventy choice varieties ot roses alone, from which he is now catting 20,060 three- inch dips that will germinate and grow in the frames dating the winter lor next year’s trade. Jnst now be has a beantifol Lnxemoonrg rose that bolds one hun dred and eleven buds and flowers. THE VERBENAS are very fine, embracing no lees than twenty-five dis tinct colors, jrom a pure white to a deep crimson, to gether with many variegated varieties. The men are now engaged in placirg tbe stock plants in tbr green houses, from which 5.000 cuttings will be taken for next spring's trade. The slips are pat in the ground in February, and in the course of a month they are ready for market. But we cannot llrger lon ger among the flower*. Suffice it, that Mr. Eblin is determined to produce every de liable variety. He is a tcientific florist, an1 bis judemenc may be relied on by those whq are in search of rare plants. extending along tho Sanatown road a half a mile or more. The cuttings are now in the ground that is to produce plants for a hedga along the broad front. This tract of land was selected because of Its natural fitness—an admirable eaady loam—to grow, not hasty large tops, bnt strong hardy proliflcally-rooted trees and plants. Size and strength below the surface are more des'rable in nursery prodnets than the same elements in sight When Colonel Irwin first took possession of the tract that we are viewing it held not less than one hundred and fifty graves of men who had scaled their devotion to the flag with their lives. The sacred dost was removed to tbe cemetery within the city, but a rude fort and the old battle line still show where the left rested on the sanguinary 28ih of July. From the old fert every part cf the great garden is visible. Let as enter the gate, and the first of -the fruits to greet ns will be come Q APES, which are not sour. A considerable vineyard is necessary to provide wood for cutting*. In t*t* nursety no cuttings are used with lees than three eyes. They are planted in March, and in the course of two years are ready for market. Colonel twin assures us that the interest in grape-culture is rapidly ncrexsing throughout tho South. There is nothing grown on our soil that is more profitable. The native dcapperong leads the list, followed by the Goicord, Clinton, Hartford Prolific and Ive's Seedling. These gardens have 25 003 vines ready for this season’s tr*de. and expect to have 75,096 next year. And after the grapes we come to a square of mul berries—one good ties of which will furnish food through five months of the year for a flock of thirty chickens or for a small flsos of pigs. . The English walnuts are next, and then we come* to Mr. Thur- jHrorur* headquarters! for he Bleep* cfe the field of bis triumphs. He wul he apt to takefUa down into tbe v*le of U .oy creek, which flows thrwigh tho nur sery, and show ns square after square of APPLE TREES, . of all sizes and ages. We may there see 80,000 trees ready for shipment, and 260,000 more that will go into the gra ting cehar this winter to come ont in the -pting snorter bnt better trees. The apple does as well in the South as in colder lat tices, if aright selection is made. Northern varie- tes are chiefly of no account. The true way to ac quit e a good apple-orchard is to go to som9 reliable southern nurseryman, and bay only Southern seed- dogs or varieties that have been thoroughly tested in our climate. To these varie ties “Tho -Southern Nur series” are specially devoted. They offer no less than six new and good Geori ia seedlings: the Per* •ice; th- Wallace, that originatedin Atlanta: the Ralph Peters, from East Point; the Taliaferro; Thomasson's seedling from Madieon, and Terry's Winter, of Ful- t-n county. For summer apples take Yellow Horse, Rtd JooeorRed Aetrachan; for fall fruit, prefer the Bumcombe, Equlntelee, Man gam and Taunton; and for winter, the Chattahoochee, Red English Crao, Shockley and YateB are tbe best. THR PEACBR3 are after all tbe leading feature of Southern fruit- culture, and the “southern Nurseries” show it. Men were engaged in planting 200 bushels of seed at the •tine of onr visit—in other words, they were drilling m a twenty-acre patch of peaches. When that amonnt of seed is in the gronnd, these nurseries will include forty acres devoted to perch-growing. 30,000 trees *re ready for maiket; next season 75,000 will be turned off. and in the following yen the product wilt be 309,000 if no unusnal disister befall the growing cr p. And hi re let us mention the fact that Messrs. Irwin and Thurmond grow many things, not only for their own customers, but also for small nurserymen anil dealers ■hroughout the South. In the matter of peaches, no Northern tree shonld be purchaeej, on occonnt of a prevailing and disastrous disease called “The Yel lows.” Southern-grown trees are Tree of it. Let us mention THE TK-T ORCHARD as wo hurry along. It contains two thou sand trees, mostly froil-bcaring. finch an orchard is a hsolutely essential in a Southern nursery, or in any well regula- ced,reliable nursery for that matter. In it the different varieties of fruit are thoroughly tried, and from it, too, comes the hsal'hy wood that is need in grafting Financial and Commercial. | | Java 28B ' R ’ Iron Ties—9 l-2c. per lb.

The cotton market review char acterized a heavy decline at the opening Monday prices weakened and continued to decline. Early at the opening Monday prices weakened and continued to decline until Wednesday, when a slight reaction took place, which has since been maintained, though sales have been reported at shaded figures. The spring demand has materially fallen off, and the recent closing of some of the mills in addition to failures of some large firms cannot bat restrict trade from this source and the trade oppressed the market. The demand from the Conti nent has been active and the required amouht only has been shipped in the abstract as th6 outlet is in limited supply for freight accommodation. Many of the large smp- ling houses have orders to extricate, but n consequence of the difficulty in obtain ing freight room their orders are accordingly limited for forward delivery. Business has been active, bnt at declining rates, until yes terday, when a better feeliDg prevailed, And activity was in a measure restored by an up ward movement The total sales for the week were 154,257 bales, of which 141,450 were on contract stock, and 16,807 bales were for future delivery, as follows: 9,l?5,"bales for export; 3,6C7 for spinning, and 23 for speculation; included were 1,193 bales to arrive. Naval stores have shared in gen eral dullness and depression, but prices show no marked decline, still business was con fined to small parcels. COMPARATIVE COTTON STATEMENT.

THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. St. Louis, November 1.—The Senate Transportation Committee were given a hearing yesterday. The Upper Mississippi rapids have been greati* improved, bnt work was much needed on tbe Low Rapids Canal and shonld be poshed forward. The Missouri river is worthless, as railroads have secured the bnlk of the trade. Kansas has no remunerative outlet for her sarplos prodnets. A nnmber of railroad men Invited by tbe committee, did not appear. The committee dispersed, to meet at Washicgtoa November 15th, from whence they will procetdto New O. leans, to in spect the month of the Mississippi. THE EVERGREEN'* are, In this nursery, grown from the seeds. Experi ence proves that the evergreen make handsomer trees from seeds than from cuttings. It is letting Nsture have her own way, and she knows best He r e may bo seen pines of almost every variety and of every size, from the tender pale-green fledgling, jast from tbe gronnd, to thebeantifnl tree that will soon shake its needles in other parts. The spruces, the junipers, the cryptomeria japonici, and many more, spring from the imported eeeus, nnder Mr. Kbllog’s fostering care. We have not space to notice farther the beautiful productions of the Floral Department. It is the in tention of the enterprising proprieiors to make it complete and comprehensive. The growing of orns- m-ntal shade trees is also receiving special attention. In the rear of the office is the shipping depotof the whole establishment. The trees grown on the lands beyond West End are brongnt down here and “heel ed in.” In a short time the packing season will open, which is the bnstest time ot the nnrsery year. Extra hands are then pnt on to prepare the trees and sbrnbs that are to bless and beautify a thousand Southern homes. Before we leave this department let us mention the coming improvements. By next spring a hand some ornamental fence is to be built around the whole, with two arched gates, surmounted by aitistic signs, making a fitter enclosure for the beantifol con tents within. A drii c of a mile, through onr elegant suburban West End, brings ns to THE NURSERY DEPARTMENT. We have before ns a splendid tract of gently rolling land, measuring one hundred and forty acres, and and budding Onr allutted space is so near exhausted that we must bunch THE OTHER FAUITS under one head. The demand for pear trees, both dwarf and standard, has increased ten fold in the jouih during the last five years. An order lor five hundred of theEe trees was recently received by Messrs. L and T. from a single plantation. Cherries, too, are receiving more attention. These should be grown on Habaleb stock, and care should be taken to select varieties adapted to our soil and sun. Tbe Wild Goose plum, Nectarines, Apricots, Quinces, Figs, the different berries, Currants, Almonds, Pome granates and all tbe miscellaneous fruits are kept in stock. THE EXTENT OP THE TRADE. To distribute the produc s of these one hundred and forty acres throughout the South, requires a dozen ira.elirag age..10. besides a large number of heal solicitors. Colonel Irwin owns enoiher form near the present nurser.es, that Is well adapted to tree-growing : and as soon as the increasing business demands it, that too is to “blossom like the rose.” Atlanta is greatly L.debied to THE PROPRIETORS of thefegrest nurseries for her prominence in horti- cuttui al productions. Col. John Irwin is a Kentnct- ian. and gallantly served from the beginning to the end ot the war with the wejl known First Kentucky Cavalry of the Confederate service. Cmcinnatug-hke, he has laid dowD toe sword lor the plough, and is no* devoting bis capital and bis unbounded en rgie* to the promotion of the aits of peace. Tbe junior part ner, Mr. Thurmond, is an Atlanta boy, and he w«s literally born and bred in a nuree-y—his father, who now resides at Madison, having beta the hort cul tural pioneer of Upper Georgia. What Mr. Thor- mend does not know abont the nursery business is not wo-th knowing. Together they make a firm that is destined to win a fortune for themselves and a wide feme for their city.
