We have not heard what course the Free

but we think it probable that they and all
other Banks in the State, will also suspend
from like motives of prudence and policy.
The Bank Of America and the North

they will suspend or not. If they do, it
will be only because all the other Banks
have done so, and in consideration Of the
policy that moved them to do it. They
have certainly proved that they are enti-
tied to the highest confidence.

Columbia Market.
APRIL l3.

Cotton.-The demand for the article during the
whole of the week just brought 20 close has been
active and good, with prices decidedly tending in
favor of sellers. On Wednesday the news by the
Asia from Liverpool, to the 14th ult., came to
hand, reporting the cotton market steady, at un-
changed prices with sales for the week of Al, 600
bales, including 5000 to spectators and 1000 to
exporters, and leaving stock on hand of $50, 600
bales, of which 275, 900 are American. These ac-
counts had little if any effect on our market, and
the demand up to the close of business on Satur-
day evening was active and good, at the following
quotations, viz: Inferior If GG ID; ordinary
i2b a. III middling 1913 @ 123; good middling
12E a. 13I; fair 13s a. 49,, and choice 1Ss cents.
The sales of the week comprise GOO bales.
Bacon.-The bacon market has been quiet but
steady during the whole Of the past week, and we
continue our former quotations of 81 q 10 for
old shoulders clear sides II g. If; new.bacon
hog round II a. III; and hams y g. l2!!, ac-
cording to quality.
Corn-The stock of this article has materially
increased during the past week and although pr-
ces are not materially lower, still the tendency is
in favor of buyers. We still quote 81 per bushel.
Oats-The demand for oats is so limited that
we can only continue our former nominal quota
tions of 65 O. 6S cents per bushel
Peas.-Thc stock of peas on sale is light and
they freely command 95 a. 100 cents per bushel.
F2our-There is a fair stock of -four on the
market, and prices are quiet but steady, at form
er quotations of 81 g u for common to good
brands; superhne 4! and extra family flour So

takes this method to inform the citizens Of York and
the surrounding Districts, and the whole South,
that he has effected another improvement in tho
Cotton Gin and Wheat Thrasher,
that excels any that have ever been introduced
heretofore and from long experience he has no
fear in challenging any other Factory, either North
or South, to produce an equal. He feels very con-
fdent in saying to the public, that his Gins excel
in performance any other make or pattern now in
use. With dry cotton the roll cannot be broken
or made to spew over, which no other pretends to
claim, and with good driving power and attend
ance, o As saw gin, will

PROSPECTUS OF
"THE SOUTH, :"

A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER, PUBLIsHEDAT
RICHMOND, VA. ,s 80
DEFORE the close Of the present month, the
I'D subscriber will issue tho first number Of o
newspaper which he proposes to publish in Daily
and Semi. weekly editions, and which he intends
to devote to the service Of the South the interests
of the State, and to the support of the principles
of the Democratic Party. But the paper will not
be so exclusively POLITICAL that its columns will
only interest the politician nor 80 subservient to
party as to spare the misconduct of bad men, to
betray principle for the sake of power, or to des-
pise its convictions at the suggestion OF expedency.
I shall endeayor to commend il to intelligent
persons of all classes by diligence in the colec-
ton of news, by imparting something OF agricul-
tural commercial and literary interest to its col
umns, and by vcnturing an outspoken and emphat-,
c opinion on the topics of the day. no matter what
the hazard of conflict with prejudice or Of offence
to the sclf.appointed feeders of party. The organ
of no CLIQUE, in the interest of no faction, and
with no. partial purpose to serve, the paper Will
address itself to the honest judgment Of the peo-
pie, and for support will rely upon the appreeia-
ton of energy and enterprise, and their lore OF
plain talk and independent opinion. There may
be particular individuals to whom this sort Of dis
cussion will not be very acceptable, but II can
conciliate the favor of the masses, may survive
the opposition of ignorant or interested critics
No doubt serrile spirits will be shocked at my zeal
in the defence Of the South still have the con-
solatory assurance that there are plenty Of brave
and true men in Virginia, upon whose sympathy
and support may rely with absolute security.
And 60 believing, embark upon the enterprise,
with no misgiving as to the result.
"THE SOUTH" will be Of equal size with the
leading papers of the city and will be furnished
to subscribers at the following rates: Daily seven
dollars year, Semi-weekly five dollsrs-pdyaIte
in dduance.
Money may be sent by mail to the address Of
