A New Locality.- -Messrs. Apperson

AthensA, la. This was the first Cotton
received in this city from that place, and
Cotton from there reaches us now in
consequence of a branch road connecting

rail roads and new packet lines, and
every other means of extending transit,
conspire to bring wealth and the means
of prosperity to our favored city. -Men

Wire for tiie Atlantic Cable.—The
Boston, Allas says : It is generally sup
posed that the Atlantic Cable was made
entirely in England. Such is not the
case. Very many miles of the wire
were manufactured in Providence, at a
actory in the upper portion of the city.
One thousand tons of iron per day were
consumed in the work, audits superiur
gp jty over that made in England is well
understood by the Cable Company. It
is worthy of note, that no portion of the
wire made in this country parted while
being laid.

vesterday, Judge Magratli presiding,the
District Attorney, James Conner, Esq.,
on requesting to put on file the return

Treville, counsel for the prisoners, on
the right of the prisoners to an order
for the writ of Certiorari, founded on pe

Habeas Corpus was considered. Judge
Magrath reserved his opinion on the

Attorney having read the return on the
writ of Habeas Corpus, the Court adjourn

Shewn a letter, from a gentleman of this
city written from New York in which the
writer states, that “on passing the ter
minus of the Charlotte Branch R Road
which leads to the grave of Thoe. Jeffer
son, it was with difficulty that our fel
low townsman, Mr. H. Muhlenbrink,
was prevented from leaping from the
train at full speed.” Fortunately Mr.
Cunningham, a stalwart man, from this
city, was present and prevented the ent
astrope which would have ensued from
the harsh act. We know that Mr. Muh
lenbrink has ever been an enthusiastic
admirer of Thomas Jefferson, and we
arc not at all surprised at the ebullition
of feeling which manifesteditself on the
Pi cagjgfl’atiove alluded to.— Atlanta In-

* ■ Hark I' Her laugh is like a fairy's faugh,
So musical and sweet
Hush'. Did you hear that burst of
merriment ?
t Let us peep in this rose wreathed win
1 i dow, and see from whose merry heart
• came those gushing and soft rich notes.
She must be beautiful."
: ” Who. Walter ?”
“ Why, the one who created the
i J
I j laugh—some fair innocent young being,
with a soul like sparkling waters, and a
i 1
face all brightness."
“Ah! brother mine, in love with a
laugh ; I shall tell Miss Hilliard; she
never condescends to even smile.”
“ Please forget Miss Hilliard, until I
obtain a nearer glimpse of the exquis
-1 ite form which just glided past the
1 window.” Come, come softly said he,
a moment afterwards, as he gently
parted the closely woven roses from the
! shadowed casement, “ saw you ever a
*j being so lovely, so beautiful?”
’ • “ She is indeed, very, very hand
some,” replied May Loring, as she com
.: plied with her brother’s wish and peep
, ed through the window.
, A young girl of seventeen summers,
with a profusion of dark brown curls,
a form of exquisite grace, and a face of
soft, yet brilliant loveliness, was resting
carelessly against the back of an old
fashioned arm-chair. One bare and
1 beautifully rounded arm was thrown
’ over the richly carved ebony frame
work, one tiny foot was beating uncon
sciously, a merry tune on the projecting
rocker. She was alone, and appeared i
to be lost in pleasant thoughts, for a
mischievous smile played around her
I bright and half parted lips, deepening
the dimples of her carmine cheek,
; while tho dreamy light in her soft li
| quid eyes grew eloquent with sparkling
\ merriment. At length, she started
5 from her reverie, and throwing herself
among the cushions of the chairs,
i again hurst forth in a thrilling and
’ I irrepressible peal of laughter, which
sounded through the small parlor, more |
! sweet and melodious than the warble
1 ! of the woodland birds, or the gush of
i the merry rivulet. She ceased not till
•! the tears stood like gelfts on the long
silken lashes, under which her violet
| eyes shown forth like shadowed waters;
she then bounded from her seat, and
crossing the room, to an open piano,
: ran her fingers lightly over the keys,
• singing : “ It is wicked I know to j
1 laugh at him so,” &c.. See.,
“ Some sober old bachelor has been
' prosposing, and that has been the cause
' of her merriment. I hope she does not
treat the young ones, so,” and Walter
Luring sighed.
5 May was about teasing her brother
' on the gravity of bis handsome face,
which tlic soft moonlight made visible
i to her sharp eyes, but at that moment
' the giddy creature came gliding toward
, the window, still caroling in a peculiar-j
ily sweet voice,her improvisatriced song,
‘ and the ttffrwsre.compelled to hastily
. retreat. , , .
t “ Well, Walter, have you concluded
to make this quiet village our summer
home?" inquired May, as they con
-1 tinueil their walk through tho shady
, street.
i “ Provided you promise to procure
• me an acquaintance with the young sil—
J very laugh, 1 11 do so love to hear a free
ir wild, musical, natural, burst of laugh
-1 ter.”
“No doubt of it, ‘ Wal ’ said May,
. her bright eyes sparkling mischievious
ly. But I am highly delighted that
. you think of remaining, for onr friends,
• the Jones’s wish us to do so very much,
i and have made arrangements for a par
. ty. You will have an opportunity of
i causing tho hearts of the pretty village
• giris to thrill, when presented to the
[ dark, proud eyes, shining hair, and
1 faultless mustache of the princely Wal
t ter Loring ! But take care that you don’t
J get served like the quiet old gentleman,
by the lovely girl we have peeped in
at.”
“ Don’t rattle on at such arate if you
i are released from the bondage of a form
■ ed city. No danger of my : .”
But the sentence remains unfinished
» for at that moment they met their
1 friends, who took them home with them
j to discuss the subject of the party.
1 The next evening came, and witlx it
r gay and smiling lads and lassies, of
j. the village gathered in the tasteful par
-2 lars of the Howards. Many a bright
3 eyed and dimpled cheek maiden was
presented to the stately and elegant
I Mr. Loring,but his restless glance found
, not the face it sought, nor the soft tones
which had met his ear.
t At length the buzz of many greet
• | iugs reached him from tho adjoining
_ room, and, in a moment, the one he
1 so impatiently looked for, glided into
tire room, smilirg and blushing and
saying gaythings in reply to the flattery
e addressed to her. She did not, for a
• moment, observe Loving, and he had
full time to gratify his wonder and ad
r miration at her exquisite grace and
- j loveliness. A dress of snowy muslin
j fell in drooping folds around her form,
2 which was of the most exquisite round
e ness and symmetry. Her beautiful
arms gleamed whitely beneath a fall of
white lace, looped up with white roses.
B A wreath of lillies designed to confine
i her redundant brown curls, but they
were not used to restraint, and had
stolen in graceful confusion upon her
slender neck and waist. Notwithstand
ing her laughing gayety, there was an
■ expression of spiritual sadness that
ever and anon would flit across her
brow and cast a soft shadow in her
bright eye. She had just made a care
less repartee to the remark of some gal
lant, when her glance caught the earn
est gaze of tho proud stranger. The
drooping fringes swept down quickly
over her crimson cheek, and then those
eloquent eyes were raised to his with a
timid, inquiring look. That blush and
glance —how should he understand
, them ? The thriti of a long, silent
chord in his heart, answered him ! Ad
vancing with a bright smile, he held
out his hand.
“ Ella Wesford ! Is it possible?”
“Quite possible, Mr. Loring; none
\ other than little Ella Wesford, whom
i you so bravely rescued from a home
amid the mermaids on the Atlantic
l
coast.”
“Ah ! I suppose you would have been
very glad to have reigned queen of the [
revels in coral palaces ”
Ella was no longer a child, her ten- j
der heart had thrilled to the music of;
love.
Summer had passed away, and Wal
ter Loring and his sister May wore to j
return home to the city.
- “ Bear up, my Ella,” he said, as he |
bid her farewell, “the months will ,
speedily pass away, and at Christmas j
you will be prepared to return with me j
to my home as my bride. May intends j
corresponding with you, and I hopeyou
| will respond to her letters. We will
soon be happy,” and thus Ella was left
to patiently wait for the time of his re- j
turn.

! REMARKS—We publish this morning the first'
Number of our Letter Sheet Prices Current, and |
if any inaccuracies in our tables or quotations ]
should be discovered, we hope they will be over- j
iijoked. We have been out of harness some:
lime, and Cud that a number of our merchants
have also got estray for the want of a weekly re
liable regulator. But by the time business fair
ly opens we hope to be able to give actual trans
actions, which will be the fairest guide for cor
rect quotations. We publish our usual tables of
Receipts, Stock and Exports, made up to the la
tost dates received, from which it will be seen
that the Receipts this year exceed those of last, I
about 102,000 bales,while the stock on hand at the |
j different shipping ports is 17,705 bales more than '
|at the corresponding period last year. The
Exports show an increase to Great Britain of j
| 367,283 bales, while to France there lias been u !
decrease of 30,351 bales, to other Foreign Ports :
12 579, aud to coastwise ports 197,092, leaving J
the total increase in exports, to all quarters, !
only 1*27,400 bales. As regards the prosen crop, |
there is much complaint recently from all sec- (
lions of the Cotton growing region, of rust, the j
boll worm and the shedding ot blossoms and
forms. It is just the season of the year when
the plant is subject to blight, b ;t if one-half the
that reach us through our exchanges,
from different quarters, are true, the prospect
for a good crop is nothing like as favorable as it
I w»3 three weeks ago.
1 COTTON.—As the offering stock and receipts
! are light, but a limited business lias been done
the past week, but prices have stiffened, and
' we have to notice an advance of about X cent
on all qualities since our last report, but more
j particularly on the better grades, which meet
j with ready sale, when put on the market, at our

GENERAL REMARKS.—Business is gradually!
increasing in the Grocery line, but the whole |
sale- prices for many of the leading articles are
irregular- Our table of wholesale prices is made!
up with great ca»*e, and we think can be relied j
on. There is no scarcity of any article that we i
hear of, and our merchants now have stocks on
’ hand that will meet the demand of a heavy
, falltrtde. They purchased early and at low
prices.
CORN.—There is little or no demand for Corn,
and we quote 62 to 65 cent- iu lots, sacks inclu
ded—retailing from stores in small lots at 7' ©75
cents. A small lot, we understand was so d this
week at 70 cents, short time.
FLOUR.—The demand continues good for both
Country and City Mills Flour, and although we
cannot alter our quotations of lasi week, holders
difficulty in getting them, and prices
tend upward. The supply of Country is still
limited, aud Tennessee is i > good demand at ad- J
vancing prices. We quote Tennessee Superfine 1
at ss.2s©ss.6o—the latter price in bbls.; and Ex-1
tra Family $5.75©56.25. For City Mills $5 50©'
$5.75 ; Extra s6©6 25 ; Extra Family $7©7.50,'
outside figures for bole.
: WHEAT.—We have no change to notice In \
prices, which it will bo seen take a wide range i 2
for both Red ana White. The receipts are on |
! the increase, and all that comes to hand is readi r
! ly purchased by our millers, who are kept*
j busy in converting it into "Flour We con- ; ( !
tinuc to quote Red at 95 cents, $1 00, $1.05 and j
21.10, according to quality—it must be a stipe-
rior lot to bring the latter price. For White, we j
quote at $1.05, sl.lO. $1.15 and sl.2o—it must l 1
be strictly prime to bring the latter figure. j £
BACON.—There is a fair stock on hand,
with a moderate demand. Good Tennessee is i
sought after, aud brings our highest quotations
.in small lots. We quote hog round 9©9}£ ; 1

; ! ©)1 Oja ; clear 10X©)11 cents, according to qua! j

! BAGGING.—HoIders are stiff, and for large <
, * lots of heavy Gunny some holders refuse to sell
.! at 17 cents, and aro asking 18c. There is a fair
