of Jim Davis band.
The Shawhan House has furnished us with
excellent quarters, and the literary exercises
were listened TO by crow owded audience at Lo.
der's Hall. The Brothers Bond furnished good
music, and German Society contributed much
to the enjoyment of the evening. The poem
read by VIM. D, Howells, of the State Journal,
was universally pronounced fine literary eff
fort. Mr. Denny, the Orator of the evening,
then gave his experience in printing and made
some valuable Suggestions to the craft. His
address was well received by the audience and
highly applauded but some of the craft
thought our family secrets had better not be re-
Vsaled to an admiripg publicl
Don PIatt was then called out and said that
he was not an editor, but wss the cousin of an
editor. He gave an interesting and amusing
account Of his early connection with the press

Southern Correspondence

MEEPHis, Jan. l6. 1860.
Ma. D. .CLAHk,--Dear Sir'-After eight days
Of persevering effort made the distance from
Dayton to this place, which believe is little
over express time; yet under all the circum-
stances consider it rather a high rate Of speed
for an untraveled Daytoninn. We were three
days in Carrolton, Kentucky. waiting for the ice
to run out Of the Ohio river; it wouldn't run oat.
but my patience did, so l swung my carpet sack
over my shoulder and footed It down to Madi-
son, with two Dutchmen 10 the lead.
Before left Carrolton went to the Court
House there aud found their County Court in
session, trying case Of bastardsy. The judge,
jury and the lawyers engaged in the case, were
good natured gentlemanly looking men; Who
seemed to understand very well the nature Of
the business they had in hand; but their free
and easy manner Of doing it, struck me as
somewhat peculiar. For instance, the Judge
elevated on platform was enjoying the fra
GRANGE Of the weed through corn cob pipe /:
the Jurors whiting sticks and pOking fun at
the lawyers, who in return (as is usual in eve
ry place) bored court and jury with many
man, speeches.
Memphis is quite lively place. There seems
to be more business done here in one day than
there is done in Dayton in a week. Niggers,
mules and cotton seem to be the principle
articles Of traffic, especially cotton the
city seems to be filed with it. A slave pen
tumbled down on Saturday last, and killed
two slaves aud injured four others. Slaves
are selling at high prices in this place. ats
tended slave auction the other day and heard
the auctioneer crying of little negro man at
one thousand dollars; for the life Of me l could
not imagine how they could get their money
back in any reasonable time, but suppose they
know how to do it or they would not spend
their money in that way.
The Courts Of this place do large amount
Of business. The Common Law Court holds
three sessions year, with one thousand civil
cases on the docket of each session. The
Criminal Court tried sixteen hundred cases du-
ring the last year. l have not learned the
amount of business in District and Chan.
cery Courts but understand it is very large.
