To the citizens OF Davidson County.

The Safety Committee, representing each civil
district in the county and ward in the city, con-
vened at the Court House on yesterday, and unani-
monsly adopted the following preamble and reso-
lutions
WHEREAS In the opinion of this Committee, the
objects for which it was created by the citizens of
Davidson county, and the duties imposed upon it,
do not authorize justify its interference in mat.
tiers of election by the people.
RESOLVED. therefore, That it is inexpedient if not
improper, for this committee to suggest or Bomi-
nate for the consideration of the public the names
of any person or persons candidates for the Leg
islature in the approaching election.
RESOLVED further, That in view of the perils sur
rounding us both at home and in the North, this
Committee most sOlemnly urge upon all the good
people of this county friendly to the constitutional
rights of the South against the tyrannical usur
patons of the North, to be firmly united, and not
suffer themselves to be divided by multiplicity of
candidates, but as one man to unite in support of
those best fitted to sustain and protect the interests
of the State and conduct the people through the
war of the second Revolution in which we are now
involved.
ResolUed further That these resolutions be fur
nished the city papers, for publication.

Monetary and CommerciaI.

SATURDAY EVENING, July 6, 1861.
The entire suspension Of business between this
city and Louisville, resulting from the troubles
with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, has
checked up what little demand there wss for Ex-
change. There Is, however little or none on the
market. There has been no change in the rates,
which are I2@l5 per cent premium. There has
been considerable demand for Silver and Gold, and
the Brokers' rates are 1O(9l5 per cent. The inter
rrption on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
has deranged business considerably, as we under
stand there was large amount of freight at both
Louisville and Nashville awaiting shipment These
freights cannot now be sent forward, and the delay
viii most probably result in serious damage to
shippers. Efforts are being made to arrange the
difficulties existing between the Directors Of the
road and the State of Tennessee so as to insure an
early resumption of the business of that important
highway.
In New York on the I'd inst, at the first board,
$4,000 Tennessee per cent Bonds sold at SIC, and
at the second board the following sales were an
nouneed $1,000 at BIC, $1,000 at SIZE, $4,000 at
size, snd $4,000 at SIZE. Virginia Bonds sold at
ACC, Missouris 97IG373c, Kentyclys re, LOuisi-
aIas &c and North Carolinas 1890.
The movement in Flour during the week has been
steady though light. As yet we hear of no change
in prices, and repeat former quotations, as fol
lows.

HoNE PRoDUCTIoN.-We visited the Foundry of
Messrs. Whitfield, Bradley a. Co.. on Commerce
street. two days ago, and under Mr.. Whitfeld's po-
lite attention, were shown through the establish
meut, and permitted TO inspect much of the work
now being done there We mentioned some time
since that they were casting and balls. and
expressed our admiration of the character Of the
work. They are still engaged in turning out these
arms, and the work is far superior to that Of the
earlier casting. In the proportion of the pieces, in
the manner Of casting, and in all else there a vast
improvement. They were finishing off six FOUNDER
when we were there, which is certainly as fine a
specimen of ircn guns can be made anywhere.
These guns are good deal longer and less bulky
than the first they made, and beautifully dressed
and polished on the outside. The guns can be made
Of any desired calbre
The same establishment is prepared now. to turn
out different sized balls and canister and grsI0
shot specimens of all which were shown US. For
the purpose of executing the work that we have
spoken of more expediuously, the prOprietors re-
Gently added very materially to their machinery at
a large outlay of cash.
Some impatience, we have heard, was manifested
at the delsy in getting ready to do the work We
have spoken Of but feel satisfied that it was not
well grounded. Outsiders can have no idea of the
amount of preparation necessary for it; and then,
too, this work was wanted just when a great deal
had to be done, incidental or preparatory to the
harvest season. and this being the case, and only
limited force of workmen being obtainablC, the
casting of cannon was necessarily work Of some
time. Now, however, everything is in working
order and the manufacture of cannon and shot will
90 on uninterruptedly as long there are orders
