The New OrIeans D.lta oftbs I'd savs.

The European advices, which we noticed in our
last, brought the market to q stand-and there WSs
not much probability as matters stood to-day of a
change for day or two. Cotton factors are firm in
their views and disregard altogether the WarrepOrts
-conoeiving that they have been gotten up as q
prelude to some speculative movements.
The supply of money continues free, but holders
thereof place their own value on it, and insist on
the highest figures. While some loans have been
obtained good mortgages at per cent, first class
commercial paper cannot be realized on better terms
than 10 and II per cent. The banks viii have, ere
long, very moderate supplies Of go and 80 day paper
rendered them, and paper payable next winter may
come into service through their iberality, and lead
to lower rates outside.
There has not been much done in Uncurrent Bank
notes. In Coin and Bullion there have been trans
actions for all received. We quote sales Of Mexican
Dollars at l048, and Bullion at l2lal22 per ounce
The receipts Of Silver for the week were $50 600.
American half and quarter dollars are a drug, and
cannot be sold better than lal per cent discount
SO is only offered by some buyers. They pass well
enough, however, in the ordinary channels Of trade
in the market house and in payment Of small
accounts generally.

dismemberment Of the Democratic party Il has
survived the downfall Of the parties have Just men

we can bear al that so long the Democratic party

with its ranks though thinned, we shall still have
sufficient force to overcome the enemies Of our con-
stitutiOual rights But how long will the evil cay
stay away, when the Union Of fathers and their
Constitution shall become mocke~S and curse
But little longer, fear, than the dismemberment
and destruction Of the Democratic party.

BE- Our very pleasant neighbOrs of the Banner
must permit US to suggest that it is not good taste
for those who laugh at others to fly in passion
when the joke is turned on them. The exhibition
of bad temper in that paper of yesterday was what
we hardly expected, but from the effects of which
we shall know how to escape hereafter: by never
laughing except at the admirable jokes of that pa
per. We are really sorry to have put the Bonner
in such passion, but can only say that Ts didn't
mean 10!
One word only; Our right clever neighbOrs do
not manifest their usual shreWdness, in failing so
sgnaIly to have made the discovery that pacedthe
spear and the lance in the hands of the knight and
not the Scholar. Themselves living proofs that the
greatest gsllantry is not incompatible with the
greatest erudition, we marvel at this.

AuRusta EIarket, ApriI 9


Corrosive have had a very irregular market

southern ports. Notwithstanding, however, these

dry goods merchant. After his conversion he went
to the neighbOriDg minister and told him there
so many tricks in the trade that he was convinced
that no man could be honest, and obtain living by
the sale Of dry goods.
''Then," said the minister 81 suppose you intend
