The Fredericksburg Herald says, that Mr. Pryor, in
his speech in Fredericksburg made offensive au-
son in reference the Douglas wing of the Democracy,
comparing them 10 sort OF implement used by the Chi
nese in their warfare with the Engish-they we're the
suk pots" in the hands of the Wings used against the
great Democratic party. We wonder il Mr. Pryor, or
Mr. any body else thinks this sort Of talk is going to do
anything than properly to increase the friends OF
Mr. Douglas and them to remember their traducers

But when We consider what is a wei known fact and
an admitted fact that Nash received at least 500 votes

ncmber-it Is clear that tn actual Breckenridge loss, in
the six counties referred to, falls but little short of 1900

Breckenridge in each county, would amount to an aggre

1t Is manifest that the hundreds and thousands OF
people coming and arriving in our city daily and
weekly are not adding to the capital or financial
resources of our city; that u.s. they bring no money
in general sense with them. No, that thew don't.
or the deposit line of our banks would show it.
True, it is too early in the season to expect the
main body OF the yearly operators, traders specu-
lators and visitors to appear among u.s. The ad-
Yanced guard as 1t were, is only arriving, bringing
no ammunition whatever to conduct operators.
II is hoped the main body-the general army-will,
when they appear, report their chests and porte
feuilles well supplied with the munitions of com.
merce to carry on successful operations. We do
not think many of them will bring any gold to pur-
chase cotton, though they may be armed with good
letters of credit, margin discretions gold edged,
blue edged, and no edges at all, which may be
worked off, as an operator did last year at one of
our banks, who gave his bills of exchange on the
great metropolis, New York, pledging, as security
certain stocks and bonds of Northern associations,
and though the securities may be good at our last
information the bills of exchange were still under
protest This is one of the proposed ways to bring
gold to New Orleans to invest in cotton. Mais
n'tnpo'fe. We shall have good many jockey
operators on our flags this season. ...=
The money market to-day was rather quiet. At
one OF the old banks the offerings were very heavy
At another they were large, but not equal to the
income. At the other banks they had more than
they wanted. On the street there was very little
done. Capitalists tthey are, however, very scarce
at this momenD are very chary of taking anything
unless of double al make, having over six months
to run. Our insurance companies do not feel dis
posed to extend or loan largely There is nothing
Of an encouraging nature in the future of the
money market for this season.
The most important feature at this time in
finance is the exchange market, the great fulerum
of our trade and commerce. Some kinds of ex-
change have been going down by the rum com.
mencing yesterday, and running down to the close
of business to-day, and will probably be kept run
ming for day or two of the coming week when
something pertaining of stability will be reached.
The general counter rate for checks on New York
ruled with the banks at ] premium, though some
round amounts were returned at premium. We
quote bank checks at from A@s prem, and heavy.
Double Al outside drawers could not realize
though one or two were not drawing. We quote
choice and good sight drafts at from l1s prem,
