Southern Exchanges In the North, confidence in
the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee
bank is daily increasing. Discount on N, Orleans
paper is4 3l4 per cent. Tennessee has negotiated n
large loan in N, York and can now draw heavily on
that city, and the u S. Bank has becom the de
posi'ory of SHE Unon." This greatly assists in
Improving her paper, and the exchanges are daily
lettering. Alabama bills some time ago were q
per cent below, they are now under 10. The very
best "t the Mississippi banks2 months ago were
from 25 To 30 but are now only Sand her checks
drafts and notes are in great request. Thus on
all hands are our southern prospects improving
From all quarters We hear Of fine crops for the
picking and ginning OF which better weather W a s
never known. The new cotton is daily arriving,
IN small parcels as yet, hut with the promise of
most abundant business for the coming season
which will inevitably commence early.

The argument urged in the Bulletin of Thurs.
Gay regarding the contention in our council on
'he SUBJECT OF paving, is entirely er parts. But
one side of the question is even referred TO, and
the motto of justice and the journalist should be
audi aheran parten,. Had the editor of the Bull
Ietn been present at the debate, he could not have
80 limited his view, but writing evidently on the
suggestion of enc party he has not treated the
subject with impartiality. Had the arguments a
ga'nst round stone pavement, been as closely urged,
as those IN lis favor, the pubc-who have to pay
for all Improvements underlaken-woud have adj
the means of judging 'h' If relative advantage
bn every opposing proof is carefully omitted, and
each rebuung statement cautiously avoided. The
People,-too little thought of by their representa-
yves when once their voices huve been secured, -

square block pavement, well as those in defence
OF the round, and where their interests are SO vital
ly concerned, they shall.
rs not true that the materials for square block
pavement have 10 be imported from abroad nor
is 1t fact that its will be as five and a halt
to three and half.
The price for round stone pavement proposed to
be gwen to Mr.. Miniurn is 81 so per yard.
There were IN the spring no less Than four Of
ters from highly responsible individuals to deliver
from fifteen, to twenty, thousand square wards of
granite blocks per annum, at $3.50 per ya,d, a nd
thus for the mere additional cost of layinq it
which is but seventy-fve cen,s-a pavement can
be secured 10 the citizens of twenty times greater
Duration And with these offers before them the
Council have every right to suppose that Mr.. Min.
can easily afford to lay square blocks at $3.50 per
yard, and that too, quite quickly round stone
pavement is now ompeted. There are already
760 yards of granite blocks now in the city unlad,
contracted for by MIR. R. Aiken, of Maine, at $3.50
per yard, and adding 10 this price the entire ex-
penre of laying &C., it will COS, but S4,55, com.

WOODEN PAVEMENTS.

have been ialrly tried in this city. We regard the
success which has atten ed the Efforts in Walnut
street below Third, and in Chestnut above Fourth,
as conclusive of the adoption of that species of
pavement to city streets. or The duration, positive
and comparative, of wooden paven,ents we of
say that in the several streets of our CITY, stone
pavemenis have exhibited strong evidences of
needing repairs in less time than The wooden nave
ment has been in use.
This part OF the Chestnut street wooden nave
ment nearest 10 Fifth street, was, we Know in
bad situation for a considerable time: but This
arose, we believe, from want of prope know
ledge OF the best mode of putting It down, and
especially Tor want OF some drain for the water
la'''ng upon II, and soaking through between the
BLOCKS. lhe whole was taken up, read with
care, ana d'an made for carry ing off the water ;
but especially were there Stone cutters laid be-
tween the blocks aud the curb stones. We are not
sure but we shall some day the cutters of our
streets formed OF cast iron, the upper surface cast
IN such way as to torn drain for the water.-
we must enquire into the probable expense OF
OF snch substitution for stone. The business of
street making is as yet but little understood,
out we hope that in a few years some substitute
,ot the present wreiched pebble pavem Mt and
orick CUTTERS will be ge.erally adopted. Al,
present we Know OF nothing that can exceed
me hemlock or locust blocks, and stone or
iron, cutters; and We believe that, with a
.''"e foresight and care in procuring supply of
,moer at the right season, the streets NAV thus
oe Paseu al ABOUT twenty per cent more than the
pebbe covering costs. The difference in com fort
and wear and tear to horse and carriaoe. NAV be
guessed by those who occa sionnlIy ride bv the
