Correspondence of the Palladium
CINCINNATI, September 9th, LII.

Gentlemen: | was tn error N my les',
!, making Major Gaines rcpor! Santa Az
ma 10 have THIRTY thousand wc!i-traincd
troops under his command. It should
bovc been FIFTEEN thousand. | bad not
the pa per at hand and having forgotten the
number made the enquiry OF friend
md he assured me j, was thirty thopsa I'd,
and hence the mistake. regret thi4 .reat-
IL. for have a sovereign con!c'np; Tor TITS
kind of multiplying run:or'. ard mos
scrupu ously design gi''ng YOU no ii9afes.
w,,hou, a qualification, Out what kNo"
10 DO str Ictly correct.
We have no further ncws OF importance
from the scat Of war; but accounts oi Il
bloody. if no. decisive. baltic by the army
under Gen. Scott, nrc looked Tor daily
We havc tccgra lh news from \. Orleans
TO the 9th ult. The yellow fever IS stead
,ly en- The incroasc-7l deaths arc reported
on the 2j,h from j, alone. By nI accounts,
public aud private, that nobio CITY, so
lately tho theatre Of activity and !Iie-a
proat point for tho enterprise, speculation
AID trade Of tho whole worlds suffering
moro severely from that dread scourso
than i, has donc for many years, II over
before. Even the summers Of 1887 ana
'3S are far exceeded in the rnpld spread,
If not daily deaths. that occur--afid still
pyery day brings ,idings Of its fearful III
crease.
Tho steamer Caledonia arrived in Bos-
ton on Thursday morning last, bringing
Liverpool dates to Aug. 10. Her news
was teIegrap pied to this city the Same day,
and published in all the papers of Friday
morning. The downward tendency in the
Corn and Flour market still continucd.----
Orleans and Ohio Flour is quoted at =.
% shillngs. Equal to about 1923 TO So
50 per brl. Corn Meal l2s. to lbs. I'd
Equal to S;2,SS a 1924 per brl. This
price would not covor Freight, Insurance
and Commissions from this city. So If the
article cost nothing here, II would bring
tho shipper out in debt 10 send 1t to thai
market. Flour will have to come down
to $3.50 or below it here, before It will
bear shipping TO Liverpool at these prices.
Query. DO our locofoco friends still be-
licvo tina, the high prices were tho results
Of tho Free Trade approximation of the
Tariff Of 'i6. would no, pny their un-
dcrstandings so poor compliment as 10
suppose they ever did BELIEvE IT. Many
heavy failures arc reported IN England,
amongst houses engaged N tho Americal
and Yves, Indies trado. The actual bank
rup,cy and s:oppagcs arc believed 70 be
already near two million pounds storing;
in consequence Of which i IS expected
American houses viii suffer severely. =
Dlhcr heavy failures are looked for daily.
There 10 Lido more activity IN the
Flour market here, notwithstanding tie
foreign news. The lending price IS 81;
but choice brands of fresh ground will
command from 10 to % cts. above that
rate. MilIers are paying - cts. for whoa;
with very light receipts. No confidence
exists that these prices will continue
Corn sells at 80 q - cts. Oats, =, . -.
Our City Council have appointed COM
mi,,co of correspondence, 10 collect all pos
sibio information IN regard 10 tile 81. Lol-
Is Railroad. SO much for a beginning by
that august body. Yours, tFaly, II.
