NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

repruary ION, 1910
ToBAcco--Our market for Tobacco continues to
labor under an extreme degree of depression. d.
ring the past week there has been scarcely any
inquiry for the article, and nearly all the transac-
lions (Which only reach about 400 hhds) have been
made by one purchaser. Prices continue to droOp,
will be seen by the following particulars of
sales: 81 hhds KS, l6at 2 cts, and II at 24; II

The receipts this week have been considerable,
and the stock on sale is daily increasing.
FLoUR--Airhough we have no improvement to
notice in relation to Flour, yet there is evidently
better feeling pervadng the market, and pur-
cha>ers appear more disposed to come up to the
views of holders. There have been several lots
disposed of for shipment, destined principally for

BOSTON NOTION.

BY reference to our first page may be
seen the prospectus of the above paper
now under the exclusive editorial manage
ment of Mr.. Tasstro. The Boston Notion
presents peculiar attractions to the literary
reader from the talent displayed in the
original articles, tales. essays, &C., and the
superior judgment shown in its selections.
To the general reader, il comes recon-
mended by its early foreign intelligence;
and as family newspaper it is unrivalled
in its moral. scientific and temperance es.
says and lectures. In addition to all this
it is by far the largest paper published in
the Union.

POINT PLEASANT, New Madrid Co., Mo.
February 18th lS43.


A. B. CHAMBERS, Esq.--Dear Sir:-I
wrote to you on the 4lh inst, giving an
account of most fatal epidemic prevail
ing in this place and vicinity, and beg to
be excused and INDUCED for again address
ing you on that painful subject
The number Of cases and deaths during
the past week have comparatively been
less in and Immediately around this place
than the week preceding, but in some OF
the neighboring settlements the disease is
alarmingly fatal, and still appears TO be
spreading with a slow but certain march
to all parts of the compass. having made
this place the seat and original point of at.
Fiction. In this thinly populated settle
ment no less than seventy-fve persons, up
to this day, have fallen victims to it. The
number in the county, have been unable
to ascertain; but Judging from report, is
considerably over one hundred.
This county, as stated in my former
letter, is well supplied with medical gen.
tlemen, of science and talents, some OF
whom suppose the disease to be contagious
while others contend it is not. am no
medical man, and profess to know but lit
w VI thS ho'u'SB VI 'iISii VI
ease; nevertheless, have right to think
and form an opnion,-and my belief is
that the disease is contagious;--which be-
lief is founded upon the simple fact that il
is known in many instances to run through
family when it had once seized any per-
son in it. But be this as it may, it is hoped
and highly desirable that some of our med.
ical gentlemen will, ere long and in good
time, publish their views and sentiments or
this truly awful malady.
The alarm has in some degree subsidized
in this neghborhood, but the grief and
affection still exist, and will long exist; and
indeed it will require many years to repair
the breach made in our little circle. And
painful and distressing must he that feeling
which comes over the mind of the many
persons that lately exulted in prospects o.
peace and comfort, when the future is a,
once clouded with funeral gloom and the
kind beings who would have impaired tina
prospect are NO MORE. This will and mus
often recall TO mind with tender regret the
mournful catastrophe and visitation.
With much esteem, remain
Your friend and OBJ. serv't.

TEMPERANCE.

We hear with much pleasure Of the sue
cessful efforts of the "Commi,tee of Ladies"
in the great cause of Temperance in our
community; many stubborn individuals
having yielded to their persuasive elo
quence, and great many having given
their names to the gladys list" who never
would have given in to arguments less
fair y presented, however powerful they
might have been: all we have to say is
On! Ladies, on!
Charge! Ladies, charge!
and success attend you.
A meeting will be held on Monday eve
ming next at the Baptist Church, when DR..
Redman will deliver a lecture; from the
wel-known abilities and experience of the
Doctor, much edifcation and information
may be expected.
The Fayette delegation visited New
Franklin on the 22d of last month and
joined in the Washingtonian celebration of
of the day: an admirable lecture was de-
Iivered by the Rev. Mr.. SIocum; eighty
new members were added to the society;
the interest of the scene was considerably
heightened by the addition to the society
ofone Of the veterans who fought under the
great leader whose birth day was the occa.
sion of the meeting.
After the procession and address, an ex-
celent dinner was paraken of by the com.
pany, provided by Mr.. Switzler.

in fiat boat TO the mouth of the Ohio.
The furniture, engine, and portion of the
cargo will be saved, but the hull is total

Estimated balance on LIST Jan. 1914, $500 ,627 05
1t will be seen that this estimate makes
no provision for the amounts which may
be required to meet the appropriations for
private bills, or other objects beyond the
official estimates, nor for the redemption
Of Treasury notes, of which there are
Sll,06s,977 60 outstanding and redeema-
BILE during the year 1S43. OF these, the
whole except $2,4O2, 800 Sc carry interest
after maturity, and will not probably be
presented for redemption. But the sum of
$2,402,390 Sc, on which the interest ceases
after the year from the date of issue, will
require TO be provided for, and will not
only absorb the balance of $39O.627 Os.
but will need further supply of upwards
of two millions to maintain the public
credit. | have proposed TO the Finance
Committees of Congress 10 place these
notes on the same footing in regard to in.
terest as the other issues, and TO authorize
the Department to reissue such Treasury
notes as may be redeemed previous to July
1874. Should this proposition be adopted
by Congress, the estimated balance OF
$39O,627 0S will remain unaffected, except
by such appropriations as may be made be.
yond the estimates.
Believing il necessary that some further
provision should be made by Congress for
the purpose Of ensuring an amount of re.
ceipts that will enable the Treasury to
meet punctually all demands that are likely
to be made upon it, have this day ad.
dressed communication to the chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means.
recommending duties upon tea and coffee
