Shipments of Produce to Europe.

The present movements in trade are Pc
culiar. Notwithstanding the difficulty ex-
perienced in selling bills of of exchange,
we learn from the Herald that the shipments
Of produce from New York to Europe on
Wednesday, principally breadstufs, were
valued at $l97, 450, Included in the ship
ments were $4,000 worth of cotton, $780,
900 of sugar and $4,000 of crude turpen-
tine. A similar shipment, valued at about
$4,000, was made at Philadelphia on
Tuesday. The proceeds Of these shipments
under the present circumstances, must re-
turn in specie. At New Orleans and Mo-
bile large shipments of cotton are being
made TO Europe, while from Baltimore
Richmond and Charleston, shipments oil
breadstuffs are also being made 10 some ex.

From the Lexington Express, Sept. 90
From the Palms.

Our young and adventurous friend, Capt,
G. Ben Russell, arrived at home, in this
city, on Tuesday last, after an absence of
some three months, during which time he
has visited Salt Lake City, and intermediate
point, He tells us that the Cheyenne In
dian depredations are undated, and are
daily growing Of a more daring and aggra-
waited character. When he left Salt Lake,
the Mormons had fortified Fort Bridger,
and say they will defend that fort against
the passage of United States troops; that they
will whip out all the United States troops
that can be sent against them, &c., which
means that they will run the very first time
oar troops are brought TO stand against
them. But the spirit of Mormonism is OF
decidedly hostile character, and will re-
quire chastisement, before being reduced to
subordnation and a decent respect to law.
On the way in, Mr.. Russell was chased
by the Cheyennes, on several occasions -
Their shots came so near his destruction as
to pierce his saddle bags, coat and hat, yet
he arrived unhurt.
He tells us, that two weeks ago, three
men, in the employ of Russell & Waddel
were killed by the Cheyennes, but we do
not now recolIect the place of the murder,
They also stole some fifty head of stock land
some two hundred United States guns from
the trains of those gentlemen. The Indians,
he adds, are prowling around Fort Lara
ME, and declare their intention OF taking
that post.

THE CRops IN lRELAND.-At our last
dates the crops were being gathered in
Throughout Ireland, and the yield is most a
bundant, and beyond that of late years.
The wheat cropis abundant, but the oats
are short in the straw. Reaping is general
throughout the south of Ireland, and the
wages given TO aborers reach TO an unpre-
eedented high figure. In many parts of
Tippera,y and Kilkenny As. per day, with
diet, has been given 10 reapers, and no
small difiuty is experienced in procuring
harvest hands even at this rate of payment.
The remuneration to women for binding
the sheaves, has proportionally increased.
The potato fields in several places have
shriveled appearance; but while this is the
case, the disease has not yet reached the
tubers TO any considerable extent, and the
quality of the crop is superior to that of any
previous year.-N. Y, Sun.

How the South Stands it and Why.

The pressure has not yet reached the
South, and will not to any extent; for the
slave States were never better conditioned
than now. Viewing this fact, the New
York Day Book says: yankee enterprise
and Yankee principles in the West have
cost the New York jobbers their life's
blood, and those who have preferred the
western to the southern trade because it
possessed this Yankee enterprise, must
take the benefit of their choice and the
reward of their preference. The South has
no Yankee enterprise, but it has that which
majority Of northern men despise above
all things else, and which they spend their
time and money TO destroy, but which pays
the southerner's debts-it has negro labor
and negro labor and its products will save
New York this year from hopeless bank.

Murder by a Negro.

About 7 o'clock on Saturday morning,
September the 26th, Mr.. James T. Points,
living about twelve miles north OF this
place, and FEAR Mt. Zion meeting house,
was murdered bya negro man, Joe, about
eighteen years old, belonging 10 Mr.. VIM.
Robinson. Mr.: Points had Joe in his en-
ploy for the year, and on Friday had sent
him TO the woods 10 make rails. Return
ing that evening he told Mr.. P. he had
made certain number. Next morning
Saturday he went 10 the woods with the
negro and found that he had told him false
hood as TO the number, whereupon Mr.. P.
expressed his determination to chastise
him. Nothing of the kind, however, was
attempted at the time, and nothing more
said about it, Mr.. p. proceeded to assist
the negro in splitting large log at which
he was at work. After time he became
fatigued and sat down 10 rest. While in
this position the negro, picking his oppor-
tunity, struck Mr.. p. on the head with the
poll of the axe, knocking him down. In a
short time he gave evidences of returning
consciousness, whereupon the murderer
gave him second blow with the axe, kill
ing him out right. He then placed the
body upon MI. P.'s saddle-horse and took
it half mile distant into the woods and
threw il under some brush to conceal it,
After this he return ed TO his work.
Mr.. p. not returning at night, his fami.
| ly became uneasy, and some of the neigh
bors suspecting foul play at once arrested
Joe, who next morning confessed the crime
and told where he had secreted the body
The murderer is now in our county Jail a.
waiting his trial, which we suppose will
be very soon. His doom is certain -

MAN LOST IN Com FIELD-Nor

solicilude was created short time since
by the absence of our old friend, Daniel S.
Morrison, Of Hot Spring county. He has
a very remarkable field of corn, and walk
ing down one evening to see what damage
the coons were doing, he CHANGED to stroll
too far from the fence and soon became lost
and bewildered in the immense growth of
corn. He wandered for three days, sub
sisting during that time on green corn
His negroes becoming alarmed about HIM,
commenced a diligent search, and found
him on the fourth day. He was then bus
lily engaged in rubbing two dry sticks to-
gether TO make fire, the green raw corn
having produced an unpleasant sensation in
his stomach. He thinks he would have
found his way out on the third day, but he

The Dry Goods Men of New York.

The New York Express, of the evening
of the 2Sth, says:
To show the general firmness Of the Dry
Goods men, it may be said that of $l73,-
900 maturing on Friday, upon a sale of
Ben kard s. Hutton. not a dollar went to
protest The payments of the coming week
and month, with the dry goods houses, are
large, but no efforts have been spared to be
in readiness, and aided as they will be by
the importers, the failures will not equal
the general anticipations. Extensions have
been made in numerous instances, and in
the absence of ability TO make remittances
in exchange, there is no reason why import
ers should not be generous in all cases
where their customers can make satisiac-
tory exhibit. Sterling bills sold at irregu-
lar and low rates, and must be soon follow
ed by an import of gold.
We are able to say that all the payments
by prominent railroads were promptly met
Saturday, and 10 add, that the Erie road has
nothing TO pay for some time, which cannot
be taken care Of by its daily receipts.

after hearty embrace they discovered that

strangers; but the lady, installing him for

him, while he, with half defined recolec.

A VILLAGE PREss.-Perhaps no one es-
Establishment is more advantage to commu-
nifty than that of newspaper. A newspa-
per in village advances the interests Of all
trades, professions and callings; by drawing
10 its vicinity much business that would 9TH
erwise be diverted into other channels, and
giving consequence and notoriety abroad to
sthe business capabilities and other advanta-
ges Of such villages. The press, as it were,
is the council of the citizens of the town
wherein it is located, pleading, in many ca
SEES, without fee or reward, and in some in
stances, conveying light and heat to estab.
lishments which otherwise would drag their
slow length along in utter obscurity. We
invariably find this to be the case, that q
town seldom, if ever, prospers without q
country press TO advance her interests.

MuNIoIpAL ELECTION IN NAsHviLLE.-
On Saturday last, John A. McEwen, Amer
lean, was elected Mayor of Nashville over
Cheatham, Democrat. The Nashville Ga
sette says:
1t gives us mnch pleasure 10 announce
this result, as we should have regarded the
defeat Of John A. McEwen a great wrong
to him personally, and most unfortunate for
the American party of Nashville. The ma
jority is small owing 10 the fact that, previ-
Gus to his having been selected as candid.
ate, many of our party, including some oil
his most devoted friends, had pledged them
selves to Gen. Cheatham, and could moi
falsiiy their pledges. There were other
things also which conspired to reduce the
American majority, but, as they were ioiled
it is unnecessary to mention them. 1t is
highly creditable to Mr.. McEwen, under
the circumstances, that he was elected a
all.

AT meeting of the business men at the
Merchants Exchange to consider the crisis
in reference to the action of the Legislature,
resolutions were passed in substance:
That the suspension of our banks was
caused solely by financial disasters in other
parts of the country, and was dictated by a
sense of duty to business interests, the banks
being solvent and managed undoubtedly with
prudence and forethought; recommended the
remission of penalties, a period TO be fixed
by the Legislature for resumption as soon as
possible, and to limit bank dividends 10 eight

How true is the saying: death is no respecter of
persons.' All are destined to feel his cold en-
brace sooner or later. The pous, virtuous and

could be successfully entreated, bribed or excited
to sympathy; how many loved one would be re-
tanned on earth, seeing that tears and signs have ell

in the dying chamber. But ahf memorable death
mocks at human woe, and turns deaf ear to ey-
cry ertrsaty to spare. Who has not lost friend?

numerous sympathisng friends. The following

many of whom attended her from the Church in
which she formerly sat and worshiped 10 the fam

thrilling interest did friend after frened take the
last look at her ifeless cay,and last of ALL did the
servants one by one, solemnly approach TO take the
farewell look-as the big tears Of affection stood
upon their sable cheeks. She. with her venerable
