gathered around the replenished fire,--the
General having satisfied himself, by her
soft breathing, Chat Ida slept sweotly--
whom Mike suggested that Sullivan should
keep watch, he having enjoyed a pretty
long nap. But Gen. Holmes objected
saying that he, too, had slept, and preferred
to undertake the twO-fold watch, over The
party in general, and his daughter in par
ticular. Mike, with chuckle of delight,
then drew from his pocket flask which
he had purloined from one of the sleepers,
whilst he was collecting the rifles, and
handed it around; but he and Joe, slone,
drank from it, and soon after, all, but the
General, were sound asleep.

German 75Jacco Market-The follow
ing extract ofa private letter, from Bremen
the 23d ult,, has be n pa ed at the service
Ofthc Louisville Journal, by Messrs. John
Smidt & Co., Of that city:
Considering the means which trade can
control for the next six or twelve months,
we believe that only the shipping of sup
plies will make business resume its wonted
course again. To judge from present
appearances, nothing like the usual auan-
tity of tobacco can be sold on the continent
of Europe next year. People may have
the inclination to consume, but the means
will be wanting to transact business, as ev-
erything is paralized and manufacturers,
not having any more the usual credits O.
pen to them, will have to supply themselves
from week TO week. rI-I lgf
Manufacturers in the North will be un-
able to pay their debts probably in all
next year, and our dealers are not only
thereby compelled to reduce their oppera-
tions for want of funds, but also because
they dare not increase the indebtedness of
their customers. Speculation cannot re-
vive as long as money remains dear, aud
che price is no consideration now, as a low
one cannot stimulate consumption until
it has again the means to pay even this..
Restoration of confidence, and the build
ing up of some ever so small system Of
credit, without which trade cannot 90 on,
must be the first steps, which, however, can
not be taken until the effects of the storm
are more fully developed. We abstain
from expressing an opinion about prices
until the moment when facts give somo
basis.

how many acts had been played. Il don't
