At the beginning of the week the general den was that
the market was undergoing natural and healthy rcac
ton from the rapid rise of the previous fortnight that
outsiders had been free purchasers and would after rea
sonable pause reentcr the market as buyers again and
that after further decline of day two, the upward
movement would be revived and prices would be higher
than before The facts have not sustained this wccon-
ceiyed theory 1t out that the outside buying has
been very small and the outside selling very large that
instead of helping the street TO carry it's natural load OF
railway stocks, the public have taken advantage of the

SLAVE WEDDTyG-A correspondent of
the Memphis appeal, from cotton planta-
tion in Arkansas, gives the following pic
ture of wholesale plantation wedding
There were nine couples married at once by
q minister of their own color and condition.
The brides, beautifully a;tired, were wait
ing; the bridegrooms, each of ebony color,
made their appearance and were conducted
to the proper cottage and the order of the
evening made known. Then, with prelimi-
nary arrangement, they, with each of their
attendents, four in number, marched forth to
join the brides and their attendants, under
the blue canopy of heaven, and on beauti-
ful blue grass plot prepared for the occasion,
for no house could be found to accommo-
date the crowd of over one hundred and
fifty. They (the nine couple and attend
ants) then formed and marched in silence
in front Of the dwelling where had assem-
bled many friends of the proprietor, to see
an unusual sight; nine happy couple to be
united in the holy bonds of matrimony by
Rev. John Rosser, servant of Maj. John
Rosser, of Camden, South Carolina. Each
couple, with their attendants, marched up
after the ceremony, by our pious minister,
and he kDelt in prayer, imploring Heaven
TO bless each ONE of the nine couple And,
sir, the prayer seemed to be breathed with
feryer and devotion for assistance from on
High on his fellow servants After prayer,
such kissing and joy as was manifested by
the friends of each. Then in a few minutes
supper was announced; and permit me to
say, that it was the most orderly crowd ]
have ever seen of blacks, attributable, no
doubt, to no spirits or wine being used on
the occasion. After supper, came the dance
for the non-religious; but near By on anoth-
cr equally beautiful grass plot, were found
about one half-the religious-in play Of
Sister Phoebe and other kindred plays
And never have had the pleasure of Sec
ing q happier crowd.
