AT Mobile. From Washington there is nothing new.
All there arc quiet, rich, full of plenty and wealth
through the surplus revenue. The following are ex-
tracts
NOBLE, April 1.-The heavy and despondng feeling
with which the last week closed has increased, and
our market now exhibits the most gloomy aspects
we have no regular demand no uniformity OF views,
or scale OF quotations. and the prices realized are ire
quently more in accordance with the necessities OF the
seller than the value of the arcle;-buyers are ihus
enabled IN great measure 10 act on their own views
and conclusions Such, however, are the present
embaTassments, and the foreb0dlngs of Inc iurure
amongst ourselves with the continued pccunIary aillc
tons which are sensibly felt throughout every part OF
the commercial world, that purchasers hesitate ana
evInce no anxiety to operate 70 any eH'eh. con
siderable decline has generally taken place TINS week.
on the prices paid for corresponding qliaues iasl-
but how much, we are unable to state !; with a iew
exceptions theextreme rates paid this week arc l4c
and the sales are estimated at 5000 bales PRINCIPALLY
al 10 l3c.
II Is estimated that not onefourth Of the mer-
chandse shipped from this city for the interior ofour
State and Missssippi during the last season, has
been taken from our wharyes up 10 tins time, the pres
ent year. In this state of things, II is evident that
large business in the produce and grocery market vet
remains to be done and which must necessarily be
confined 10 the next two or three months Our mark
CT exhibits at the present moment a superabundant
stock OF all kinds except, perhaps, dry goods, which
rather deficient in those articles, the stock of
which is supposed TO be much larger than the wants
Of trade, holders only the coasignees-Sh Shipping

Public MEETINc-At length have the slumberng
energies OF Mobile been aroused, and her citizens
will rally at the Court House, this morning, at 10
O'Clock, where the most sublime moral spectacle in
the world will be presened-that of people in diff
Guilty working and deWsing means TO improve and
better their condition.
We do not expect to get out Of our difficulties by
enchantment. Those who would remove the obsta-
Gles IN the way OF Their success must work TO do it.
Lei no man despair who is honest, and has energy
70 back IT, We speak i'll homely phrase, but the times
demand PLAN dealing, and we fear not to say what
we candidy think. Shall merchant who owes
few thousand dollars, spend his time in dleness and
make effort to pay his debts? Is il manness p
or IS 1t honesty! Unite in effort to restore your
lost credit and to bring back the value of your pro-
pcrty, which is now deprecated. Open the door to
the restoration of niidsnce, and you unlock
the vaults Ofa valuable bank These things YOU NAV
do-at any rate you ought to try to do it,
Let no man stay from the court house because an
idle rlmor has reached his ears that Mobile IS be
declared bankrupt: Such is not the case We desire
10 prove and sustain It's solvency Let man refuse
10 go for want of confidence in the result Nothing
can be done without trial. While there is life there
is hope.
ST. AUGUSTINE. MARCH 3l.-L.ate and important
from The Army-Cheeriag Inteihgence-By an Ex-
press winch arrived last night from Fort Dade, we
have intelligence 10 the 10Th, and of the most Crafty
ing character. Many Of the chiefs, and their bands,
have comeln, and some have gone TO Tampa Bay
and there is strong prospect of peace Our savage
foe has been compelled 10 consent 10 remove beyond
the Mlsslsslppi, and preparations are making TO ac
cemplsh this desirable object speedily.
We have been politely favored with the following
extract OF letter 10 gentleman of this city, dated
Fort Dade, March &C.

qirer, in speaking Of the money market, has the fol-
lowing curious and indirect slap al the Herald
And il would be ns difficult task to string
together number of those technical terms in use in
Wall street on such subjects, without conveying any

not condescend, and therefore confine ourselves 10

reach yet shall astonish them more before another
year shall have been added TO my career.
I will now unravel the secret a little and Let the
world sec part Of the very machinery stripped of all

The daily facts and occurrences Of Wall street are
open TO all. The oaly merit they possess, in coming
through my mind is their grouping up their arrange
